Chapter 98: AFK Power Leveling, Mental Element Initial Tier Level Four(Bonus)

"What's your idea this time?"

Ding Yumian curiously asked. She had grown to admire Lu Jun, whose mind was brimming with strange yet ingenious ideas, proving he had an innate gift for the path of cultivation.

She herself had benefited greatly. After building her Mental Labyrinth and mastering the advanced-tier Psychic magic spell Soul Control, she could now independently restrain initial super-tier mages who lacked mental defenses.

This wasn't an exaggeration, given the right conditions.

It was known that the Dunhuang military had been pursuing a high-level peak fugitive nicknamed "Ghost Bride." Despite her cultivation level being only at the peak of the high-tier, in the original story, she easily controlled eight high-tier mages—two of whom were on the verge of super-tier—and still had energy left to confront mid-tier mages like Mo Fan and Xin Xia.

Psychic Element disaster mages were naturally no weaker than her.

In other words, once a Psychic Element mage reached the advanced tier, their advantages were immense—so overwhelming that they seemed almost invincible. Only another Psychic Element mage could level the playing field.

In later stages of team battles, lacking a Psychic Element mage to anchor the squad was practically asking for disaster.

Soon, Lu Jun shared his idea with Ding Yumian, saying, "I want you to help me artificially simulate the effects of having multiple soul essences at the initial tier level four."

Ding Yumian appeared slightly puzzled, not entirely grasping his intent. She tentatively asked, "You're you, and I'm me. Even if I wanted to artificially simulate a specific skill effect for you, it'd still be up to you to figure it out, right? At most, I could act as a reference model."

Lu Jun chuckled and said, "That's such a small way of thinking."

"Let me ask you something." He continued, "You've already reached the advanced tier, right? With the spell Soul Control, you can dominate someone's will, even their actions, correct?"

"That's correct," Ding Yumian nodded, faintly beginning to understand where Lu Jun was headed.

Revealing his plan, Lu Jun said, "So, why don't you just transfer your consciousness into my body, use Soul Control to manage my Psychic star clouds, and then directly simulate the effects of having multiple soul essences for me?"

Genius! Ding Yumian suddenly realized the brilliance of his idea and couldn't help but grow even more impressed with Lu Jun's unconventional thinking.

Where ordinary people lacked the talent or control required, that could be solved by "inviting a pro to take over."

Lu Jun wouldn't even need to actively learn. He could "AFK" and watch as a master operated his body, allowing those skills to become instinctual or part of his muscle memory. This would naturally produce the desired magical effects.

Even advanced techniques like constructing Mental Labyrinths, opening the Soul's Eye, or attaining Mental Projection could all be achieved through this method. It was leagues ahead of the traditional "teacher teaches, student imitates" system.

After all, did anyone really believe that Lu Jun's earlier quips about external plug-ins were just shallow jokes? Did anyone think he would waste time struggling to emulate someone else's success the hard way? That would never allow him to catch up.

Lu Jun preferred to eat "soft rice" with style.

"Observe closely. Ding Yumian is meant to be used like this. I'll only demonstrate once!"

Of course, only disaster-level Psychic Element mages could use this method. Regular advanced-tier Psychic Element mages wielding Soul Control might be able to control someone's limbs and cast a spell, but precision control over someone's every muscle, star cloud, and mental power? That was a pipe dream.

Ding Yumian, though slightly blushing, nodded and said, "I can give it a try."

The level of control required here essentially meant stuffing her entire soul into Lu Jun's body. The awkwardness of such intimacy was something only she could feel.

Perhaps due to her frequent mental battles with Lu Jun and the resulting familiarity—or because his "polluting" content had raised her tolerance threshold—Ding Yumian was surprisingly willing to give it a go.

On a grassy field, Ding Yumian sat cross-legged, focusing her mental energy and forming the advanced-tier star pattern.

Normally, a high-level spell required months of practice to master, as seen with Lu Mei and Tang Yue.

However, for mages with higher mental realms, merely executing the sequence might be achievable, even if their proficiency left much to be desired. Super-tier mages using a new system worked on a similar principle.

For Ding Yumian, that was sufficient. She only needed Soul Control as a medium.

Hum!

Her potent mental power surged, carrying immense transparent mental energy into Lu Jun's body. Her physical form didn't collapse; her Revenge Soul temporarily took over in her absence.

Lu Jun felt a sudden darkness as his consciousness was pushed into a corner of his mental domain. It was akin to sleep paralysis: he was aware, could see, and could even feel, but control over his body was beyond him.

Beside him loomed a massive, intimidating consciousness radiating a dangerous presence.

Still, Lu Jun didn't resist. Suppressing his instinctive urge to fight back, he quietly observed Ding Yumian's actions.

Ding Yumian, on the other hand, was experiencing something entirely different.

Her consciousness was now housed in a foreign body—heavier yet brimming with vitality. She saw a brilliant mental starfield before her.

Four star clouds—platinum, cerulean, emerald green, and translucent—intertwined and shimmered brightly.

Though she refrained from prying, her focus locked on the translucent Psychic Element star cloud. Technically, she could only manipulate the Psychic Element's energy while leaving the other systems untouched.

This was likely due to their frequent confrontations, which had fostered a deep familiarity between their mental energies.

Opening her borrowed eyes, Ding Yumian clumsily raised Lu Jun's hand. It was fair and slender, with skin nourished by Water Element energy—no less delicate than a woman's.

However, as her gaze inadvertently drifted lower, she paused, suddenly recalling certain "educational" details she had been forced to endure. The Vengeful Soul within her rippled in embarrassment.

Still, she couldn't help wondering how men managed to walk without constantly getting snagged.

Ding Yumian shook off these wayward thoughts and focused on adjusting to the body. Within minutes, her movements transitioned from awkward to fluid.

By now, she was intimately familiar with every inch of Lu Jun's body.

Once seated cross-legged, she began meditating, aligning the Psychic stars and guiding the flow of energy in his star clouds. Lu Jun had willingly relinquished all control to her, even offering his assistance from the sidelines.

Her first attempt proved difficult. The psychic Element energy was too dormant, far less lively than her own. Splitting and reshaping it into new forms felt like trying to knead a dry lump of dough.

For the first time, Ding Yumian truly understood the gap between her own innate mental talents and that of an ordinary person.

Nonetheless, her instincts and past experience soon kicked in. Step by step, she smoothed out the process.

In the translucent star cloud, a faint white light began to pulse and shift under her guidance. It morphed into various shapes, resembling dough kneaded effortlessly between her fingers.

Meanwhile, Lu Jun watched in awe. Though it was his body, Ding Yumian wielded it with unparalleled precision, far surpassing his own capabilities.

The constant feedback he received suggested that once he re-entered his body, his mental control would see significant improvement.

"Okay, guide the seven Servant-level Soul Essences into the star cloud. Let me test something," came a thought from Ding Yumian, relayed through their shared mental connection.

Their synergy had reached a level where they seemed to communicate heart-to-heart.

Lu Jun summoned the seven Soul Essences stored in the White Tiger Pendant, channeling them into the Psychic Element star cloud. Ding Yumian handled the intricate task of reshaping them.

Hum! Hum! Hum!

The seven stars gradually expanded and transformed, ascending to initial tier level four. A new surge of magical energy flowed through the star cloud.

Drawing on her experience of splitting her own soul essences, Ding Yumian solemnly divided and reshaped this energy to simulate multiple soul essences.

By the time Lu Jun regained control of his body, Ding Yumian's face was pale with exhaustion.

"It's done," she said weakly. "But the simulation is limited to the star cloud's magical energy. It doesn't include your consciousness or soul essence, so its actual effects may be weaker."
