Chapter 51: Skill · Soul Link

Since Xu Zhengyang's Dimensional Space Pocket was upgraded to a spherical space with a diameter of 15 meters, he has been preparing for various unexpected situations.

To be well-prepared, Xu Zhengyang stored various tools in his Dimensional Space Pocket that might come in handy! Since this copper-cast turtle contained a world of its own, Xu Zhengyang directly took out an Angle Grinder from his Dimensional Space Pocket, connected it to power, and began cutting! "Buzz, buzz, buzz…"

As the Angle Grinder started cutting, the solid copper turtle was sliced open in the middle by Xu Zhengyang.

Immediately after, a beautifully crafted wooden box wrapped in clay was revealed inside the turtle's belly!

Xu Zhengyang peeled off the clay from the outer layer of the wooden box and opened it.

Inside the box, on a soft cushion, lay a pill about the size of a thumb, sealed with wax.

Although Xu Zhengyang already knew the answer through his Detection skill, when he actually held the Soul Calming Pill in his hand, a feeling of joy surged within him as if he had stumbled upon a treasure.

"Is this the Soul Calming Pill?" Xu Zhengyang asked.

The Soul Calming Pill could increase his mental limit by 3 points but would deduct 1 point from his stamina.

Just as Xu Zhengyang hesitated about whether to consume this ancient pill, he subconsciously began to play with the Sarira pendant.

[Attribute Awakening Task: Mental II (In Progress)]

[Your mental attribute has exceeded 10 points; in a sense, your Mental Strength has reached the limit achievable by humans!

Next, you need to collect an extraordinary item that can carry part of your Mental Strength to prepare for a secondary attribute awakening.]

[Extraordinary item that can carry part of your Mental Strength (1/1)]

...

[You have collected an extraordinary item that can carry part of your Mental Strength. Would you like to immediately enter the Challenge Realm for a secondary awakening of Mental Strength?]

[Yes/No]

(Warning: The Challenge Realm generates extraordinary items. Regardless of whether your mental awakening challenge is successful, the extraordinary item will be destroyed after the challenge ends. Please choose carefully!) Seeing the sudden appearance of a series of system prompts, Xu Zhengyang was astonished, "So Mental Strength can undergo a secondary awakening?!"

The first mental awakening task granted Xu Zhengyang the ability of Total Concentration, which was an incredibly powerful skill!

So after seeing the system prompt, Xu Zhengyang began to anticipate what kind of surprise the second awakening task would bring him!

Thus, the Xu Zhengyang who had just hesitated about whether to consume the Soul Calming Pill immediately made a decision.

After all, he currently had six points of stamina.

Even if he deducted one point, it wouldn't affect his stamina awakening skill, Super Immunity.

So Xu Zhengyang decisively crushed the wax seal of the Soul Calming Pill, took out the pill, and swallowed it.

[Mental Strength +3]

[Stamina -1]

Seeing that his mental attribute had risen to 13.2, even without the Sarira pendant, he could trigger the mental awakening task afterward.

Xu Zhengyang immediately opened the task log and chose to accept the challenge!

...

As Xu Zhengyang clicked "Yes," the originally unremarkable Sarira pendant suddenly erupted with a dazzling seven-colored light.

[A powerful ability requires a strong will to control. The longer you persist here, the more powerful the ability you will gain.]

The system prompt appeared and then disappeared.

Immediately after, Xu Zhengyang felt a flash before his eyes, and he found himself in a space that was pure white in all directions!

White! Everywhere he looked, aside from Xu Zhengyang himself, the entire world was a blinding white, without even a hint of color!

In just a short while, Xu Zhengyang felt his eyes becoming sore and swollen, and tears began to flow uncontrollably.

"So this task is to see how long I can endure here?" Xu Zhengyang said.

This was clearly a very simple task.

But for some reason, a sense of indescribable anxiety emerged in Xu Zhengyang's heart.

Then, a one-meter-high pillar appeared out of nowhere in front of Xu Zhengyang, topped with a palm-sized red button.

Xu Zhengyang looked down.

The red button floated with its attribute information.

[Forced Termination]

[Effect: Pressing the button allows you to immediately terminate this Challenge Realm.]

...

In this pure white world, aside from Xu Zhengyang, there was only this red button.

Xu Zhengyang initially thought of passing the time by sleeping.

But in this special space, Xu Zhengyang's spirit was always in a state of fullness, and he could never feel drowsy.

So no matter what posture Xu Zhengyang assumed, he could not cultivate even a hint of sleepiness!

Running, singing…

Xu Zhengyang tried every means of venting.

But in this directionless space, where he couldn't even feel the passage of time, no matter what Xu Zhengyang did, a thick sense of restlessness enveloped him, refusing to dissipate…

Just as Xu Zhengyang was about to lose his patience and press the red button to escape this pure white space…

A flash of inspiration struck Xu Zhengyang.

He suddenly used the Total Concentration skill! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7…

After seven seconds passed, Xu Zhengyang's Mental Strength was instantly depleted, and a wave of intense fatigue surged over him.

Immediately after, it was as if a battery had been recharged; Xu Zhengyang's spirit returned to its optimal state.

"Total Concentration!"

Thus, Xu Zhengyang used this skill again to deplete his Mental Strength! Restore, deplete, restore, deplete…

*As time passed, Xu Zhengyang had no idea how many times he had used Total Concentration.

When Xu Zhengyang once again used Total Concentration to exhaust his Mental Strength, suddenly!

This pure white world shattered like glass! Upon returning to the real world, Xu Zhengyang finally received a system prompt:

[Attribute Awakening Task: Mental II (Completed)]

[Reward: Skill · Soul Link]

[Soul Link: Perform a Soul Link with units whose mental checks are lower than yours and that possess "independent consciousness."

Upon successful linking, you will gain all the abilities of the linked entity!]

(Note: Every 5 points of Mental Strength can add an extra Soul Link quota; the greater the difference in mental attributes between the two parties, the easier the Soul Link will be to succeed.)

Seeing the new skill he had obtained, Xu Zhengyang was first shocked, then overjoyed! With this skill, there would be so many more things he could do!

At that moment, Da Bai (Big White) suddenly said, "Master, why did the Sarira pendant you just bought suddenly break?"

"If it's broken, then it's broken," Xu Zhengyang replied, casually tossing the pendant into the trash can, then yawning as he instructed Da Bai (Big White), "I'm a bit tired; I'll take a nap. Please book me a flight home for tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Master," Da Bai (Big White) replied.
