Qin Xiaochuan and Zhou Bin's practice mainly focused on the mental realm. To put it simply, it involved applying different influences in the mental space, and then Zhou Bin would provide feedback on the effects.
Zhou Bin remained as taciturn as ever, uttering not a single superfluous word except for the essential information he needed to convey. Fortunately, his feedback was quite clear, greatly assisting Qin Xiaochuan's practice.
Through constant practice, Qin Xiaochuan finally figured out the characteristics of this skill. As he thought, it could indeed affect the opponent's various attributes in the mental world.
Furthermore, different attributes can be affected simultaneously, but the more influences applied, the more mental energy is consumed.
Qin Xiaochuan wasn't worried about this, because during his practice, he discovered that mental energy and spiritual power could be converted into each other.
At first, Qin Xiaochuan was a little surprised, but he quickly understood. After all, spiritual power is generated by the power of the heavenly soul, and it is meant to affect a person's spirit. In the beginning, when he was cultivating, he often felt dizzy and lightheaded due to excessive consumption of spiritual power.
Therefore, spiritual power and mental energy are essentially the same thing, or rather, spiritual power is just a special manifestation of mental energy.
After learning these things, he tried using the mental domain in real combat, and to his surprise, it was effective, although the effect was only half that in the mental world.
After conducting these experiments, Qin Xiaochuan suddenly realized another problem: Kaiming could fly, which was really disadvantageous for him.
Since everything in the mental world can be changed, why not increase my ability to fly?
He acted immediately, attempting to make himself fly in the mental world, and soon discovered that his ideal was... Reality is harsh.
Although the mental world is just a virtual space, it is a reflection of reality from the subconscious. It is difficult to create feelings in the mental world that do not exist or have not been experienced in the real world. Even if they can be created with difficulty, it is difficult to use them flexibly in tense battles.
But this did not stump Qin Xiaochuan. He quickly found a solution: he installed a pair of bat wings in his mental world, and then Zhou Bin carried him through flight to enhance the subconscious feeling of flight.
To make the experience even more nuanced, he even had Zhou Bin drag him and Han Kexin through the air in a battle.
After all, the more delicate the real feeling, the smoother the experience in the mental world, without any sense of stagnation, and the more flexible and realistic the combat becomes.
After conducting numerous experiments, Qin Xiaochuan was finally able to climb, fly, dodge, and fall freely within the mental space.
In addition to practicing combat techniques, Qin Xiaochuan also learned in detail about the injury mechanism in the mental space. Being injured in the mental space will cause real pain, but it will not affect the real body. It will only be transformed into mental trauma, which in turn will affect combat ability in the real world.
If he faints in the spiritual world, his physical body in the real world will naturally also faint. As for the consequences of being killed in the spiritual world, he doesn't know, since he can't experiment with such a thing.
This was his complete understanding of the spiritual world. After making preparations, he challenged Han Kexin once again.
Without using the magic of the Ring, he was quickly and predictably defeated again, and lasted less than ten minutes.
This challenge made him realize that the stronger a person's mental energy, the less they are affected by their own mental realm. Indeed, challenging someone of a higher level is not something a human can do.
Qin Xiaochuan adjusted his mindset, rallied his spirits, and reached out his hand to Han Kexin, saying, "Let's go again."
Han Kexin yawned lazily again, "I'm tired. Let Zhou Bin keep you company for now, and make sure he does his best."
So Qin Xiaochuan and Zhou Bin went all out in a real battle in the mental space. With the support of the mental domain, even Zhou Bin could only last for an hour.
But Zhou Bin has one redeeming quality: even when he's beaten black and blue in the mental space, he doesn't utter a sound.
After a short rest, Qin Xiaochuan challenged Han Kexin again, and this time he did a little better, lasting for fifteen minutes.
Looking at Han Kexin's languid expression, Qin Xiaochuan turned around and had another match with Zhou Bin.
Perhaps because he hadn't fully recovered from the mental trauma of the last battle, Zhou Bin couldn't last forty minutes this time before silently going to sit down and meditate in front of the Heavenly Stele to regulate his breathing.
Qin Xiaochuan challenged Han Kexin for the third time and lasted for half an hour, while his battle with Zhou Bin was also shortened to half an hour.
The fourth challenge lasted for nearly an hour, and the battle with Zhou Bin was reduced to ten minutes.
On the fifth challenge, Han Kexin waved to him and called out, "Stop, I've almost used up my spiritual energy for today. Let's continue tomorrow." Then she gave him a resentful look, "Why do I feel like your spiritual energy is inexhaustible?"
Qin Xiaochuan wanted to say that his spiritual power was inexhaustible, but he didn't, fearing that it would add new wounds to her already traumatized heart.
As Qin Xiaochuan watched Zhou Bin preparing dinner for the group with weary steps that evening, he felt a strange sense of guilt. So he dared not waste his time and instead tried to develop new skills in his mental space. This was an idea he had after watching the illusion of the ancient gods' war. Watching the battle between top experts can really teach you a lot.
The next day, the story repeated itself, except that Han Kexin only lasted until the third challenge.
The third day was twice.
On the fourth day, Qin Xiaochuan looked at Han Kexin in his mental world with some excitement. If he could win today, it would mean that his strength had risen to a new level.
Han Kexin looked at Qin Xiaochuan with a complicated expression. Perhaps even she didn't expect Qin Xiaochuan to have improved so quickly. When she first met him last year, he was just a timid little kid who didn't know anything.
"I'm going up now!" Qin Xiaochuan shouted to her. As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of silver bat wings unfolded behind him, and at the same time, an invisible energy instantly spread in his mental space.
That familiar mental pressure swept over Han Kexin once again. In the past few days, the intensity of this mental pressure had gradually increased, making her feel that even the flow of spiritual energy in her body had stopped.
After these few days of fighting, she actually had a certain understanding of Qin Xiaochuan's skills and found a way to counter them. As long as she concentrated and calmed her mind, the negative effects of mental interference on her would be greatly reduced.
The principle is clear, but it is difficult to put into practice because Qin Xiaochuan's skill effect is not a single attack, but a continuous pressure.
At first, she was able to control her mental energy, but as the battle intensified, her focus and control would gradually decline. Each time, towards the end, she felt as if she were sinking into a quagmire, getting deeper and deeper, unable to extricate herself.
In this situation, the longer the battle drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for her.
Silver bat wings unfurled behind her, and propelled forward by white spiritual energy beneath her feet, she needed to finish the battle quickly.
