Fundamentals of Psychokinesis!

Late at night, all was quiet in the meditation room on the second floor.

Whoosh!

Yang Zheng sat cross-legged on the floor and put on the Virtual Space helmet. His consciousness instantly entered Virtual Space.

It was an enormous, tranquil room covering more than a thousand square meters. At its center stood a bed three meters in diameter, with an indoor swimming pool in front of it.

"Welcome, War God Yang Zheng!"

An electronic voice suddenly sounded. "This is your private room in the War God Palace. No one but you can enter it."

"There are two books on your desk: War God Palace Regulations and Fundamentals of Psychokinesis. Enjoy your time in the War God Palace."

"Fundamentals of Psychokinesis..." Yang Zheng walked toward the desk by the window. Two books lay on it, one with a black cover bearing the words "War God Palace Regulations."

The other book's black cover glittered with specks of starlight, as mysterious as the starry sky.

"Fundamentals of Psychokinesis."

Yang Zheng picked up the manual, opened it, and began reading.

The book explained the origins of spiritual force, the forms it took, and its three methods of attack.

Telekinesis, psychic attacks, and beast taming.

The third method, "beast taming," received little attention. Most of the book focused on telekinesis, with roughly half devoted to detailed explanations of killing enemies through this method.

Spiritual force could be intangible or tangible.

Its "tangible" form controlled objects from a distance, unleashing tremendous force to kill enemies thousands of miles away. Its "intangible" form silently penetrated a person's mind, killing without a sound.

To rapidly improve one's telekinetic abilities, one had to work on three aspects: "mental power strength," "psychokinetic weapons," and "control techniques." Fundamentals of Psychokinesis primarily covered techniques.

Control techniques referred to how many weapons one could control simultaneously while maintaining the maximum attack power of each. Naturally, the more weapons one could control, the greater one's overall strength.

As Yang Zheng understood it, this meant one thing.

This was mental power amplitude, the counterpart to a warrior's physical force amplitude. At present, Yang Zheng could only control six throwing knives while maintaining their full attack power.

In other words, a mental power amplitude of six.

Psychic attacks were more complicated than telekinesis, because spiritual force weakened under the suppression it encountered after entering another person's sea of consciousness.

That was where special secret techniques came in. By cultivating them, one could shape spiritual force into special attacks capable of breaking through the suppression of the opponent's sea of consciousness.

Otherwise...

To kill an opponent outright in a direct clash using ordinary spiritual force attacks, one's spiritual force had to be at least three tiers stronger than the opponent's.

The book recorded eighteen psychic attack techniques, including "Dream Bewilderment," "Phantom Demon Eye," "Psychic Spike," and "Soul Shock."

As for the third chapter, the beast-taming section, it explained how to tame monsters through spiritual force. However, the methods currently available on Earth consisted of "mental communication" and befriending monsters.

Virtual Space resembled a boundless, dark ocean.

Rumble~~~

The immense War God Palace floated above that endless black ocean, like a colossal palace suspended in the air. Pitch-black waves crashed against the protective walls around its plaza again and again.

The War God Palace was humanity's most powerful warrior organization, jointly founded by First Speaker Hong and Second Speaker Thunder God. Every War God on Earth, as well as every existence Beyond War God, belonged to it.

Inside the central hall.

Nearly a thousand War Gods from around the globe had gathered. It was difficult for War Gods to meet in reality, but the War God Palace served as a gathering place for all the world's War Gods.

At that moment, two warriors sat drinking and chatting in a corner of the hall. Had Yang Zheng been there, he would have immediately recognized Zheng Cangli and Pang Qingyan.

"Say, Old Zheng!"

Pang Qingyan took a swig of wine. "All you get from the fine wine in Virtual Space is the taste. You'd be better off coming to Kyoto City with that money. You could have several good drinking sessions there."

The food and wine in Virtual Space were entirely virtual, but eating and drinking felt exactly as they did in reality. For the flavor alone, they were fairly worthwhile, but their prices were even higher than in the real world.

"Then stop drinking!"

Zheng Cangli rolled his eyes. This Wine Brute complained loudly, yet his hands never stopped moving.

Why would he rather spend more here than go out and drink in reality? Because in the War God Palace, he could leave and return to reality at any moment.

Could he do that in the real world?

If Zheng Cangli could have beaten this Wine Brute, he would have made him quit drinking.

Suddenly-

The entire hall dimmed, and the number on the enormous screen mounted on its wall changed instantly.

9153

"Today, the War God Palace welcomes a new War God. His name is... Yang Zheng!"

A booming, rough voice rang out. At the same time, a three-dimensional virtual projection appeared above the hall, displaying large, raised letters-

Name: Yang Zheng

Nationality: Huaxia Country

Rank: War God Level (high-level)

Besides the many War Gods chatting in the hall, there were also attendants with exceptional looks and bearing. At that moment, however, everyone was stunned by the three lines hovering in midair.

"Yang Zheng?"

"Is that Yang Zheng from the Limit Martial Hall?"

"Isn't that the genius Yang Zheng whom the Limit Martial Hall signed a month ago...?"

The entire War God Palace erupted. Nearly a thousand War Gods sat in their seats, unable to stop themselves from discussing him.

The announcement on the Limit Martial Hall's official website a month earlier was still fresh in their minds. Even now, Yang Zheng's photograph remained on it.

"A High-level War God?"

The two men drinking in the corner froze. Zheng Cangli and Pang Qingyan stopped eating and drinking, looking once more at the three lines suspended in midair.

Zheng Cangli, in particular, could hardly believe it. That young man had been a mere Junior War General a month ago, yet in just one month, his strength had risen to that of a High-level War God.

Was this how fast a monstrous genius cultivated? Even the Hall Master hadn't become a High-level War God this quickly during the Great Nirvana, had he?

Moreover, Yang Zheng was a Spirit Reader. Based on Zheng Cangli's estimate, made by comparing Yang Zheng's potential with his own, this meant Yang Zheng was also a High-level War God Spirit Reader.

His actual strength was at least close to that of an Invincible

War God.

An Invincible War God...

Although Earth had more than three thousand War Gods, only a few hundred were High-level War Gods. Of those, fewer than fifty had reached the level of Phantom Demon Katelan.

And only a dozen or so people worldwide qualified for the title of "Invincible War God"-even fewer than the number of Planetary Level experts.

Some had terrifying saber techniques, others had movement techniques or spiritual force... In short, every Invincible War God possessed a trump card that made them unrivaled throughout the apprentice level.

The impact of Yang Zheng becoming a High-level War God continued to spread, rapidly reaching every corner of the globe through the War God Palace.
