Chapter 77

"Old sir, rest in peace. Once a person dies, all is over, and there's no need to hold onto any grudges." As Su Jing said this, he took off the old man's armor, grabbed a large sealed plastic bag, and put the old man inside. Although he wanted to show respect for the old man, he also had to consider safety. Otherwise, if someone saw, not only would he be in trouble, but the old man might also be taken for research.

Su Jing quickly searched through all the trash. This time, he wasn't mainly looking for treasures but to see if there were any other people or bodies. Fortunately, he didn't find anyone else or any bodies, but disappointingly, there were no monster corpses either.

"First, I need to deal with the old man's body. Where should I cremate it?" Su Jing thought, feeling a bit troubled. At first, he hadn't thought much about it, feeling that since he had received a favor, it was only right to help cremate the body. Now, he realized it wasn't an easy task.

If this person were a modern human who died normally, it would be easy to send him to the crematorium. However, the problem was that this person didn't exist in this world and had no identity. Sending him to the crematorium would be suspicious. But since he had promised the old man, he had to keep his word. He had already deceived him about taking revenge, so he couldn't deceive him about cremating the body.

"What should I do? Sneak him to the crematorium, or buy some gasoline to cremate him myself?" Su Jing quickly thought of two methods, but neither seemed reliable. The first was too dangerous and could expose him, while the second was hard to find a suitable place and might not cremate him completely.

"Right, this method might work." Su Jing suddenly had an idea. He remembered that there was a volcanic island nearby. He took out his phone and quickly searched online, finding information that the volcanic island was still active.

"Going to the volcanic island to cremate him, isn't that a bit extreme?" Su Jing thought that taking the body to the volcanic island would be very thorough, but it was also very dangerous. If he stepped on the island just as the volcano erupted, he would be cremated too.

"If I could use my mental power to drag the body over, that would be great, but unfortunately, my mental power is too weak. I'll try to see if my mental power is really that weak, maybe I just don't know how to use it. If I can drag the old man's body, I'll take him to the volcanic island. If not, I'll think of another way." To prevent the old man's body from rotting and smelling, Su Jing got a large fish storage box, put the old man inside, and added many ice cubes. He then bowed to the old man, apologizing for this somewhat disrespectful treatment.

Su Jing opened the old man's backpack, found a notebook, and started reading. The writing wasn't very neat, but it was very strong and powerful. Su Jing first skimmed through it, and his face gradually showed more and more joy. The notebook not only contained knowledge about the basics of mental power but also the old man's insights into various mental attacks, which were very practical.

Su Jing temporarily ignored the direct mental attack methods and animal training methods and focused on object control. He carefully read the old man's insights on this, benefiting greatly. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He didn't use his eyes but spread his mental power, like an invisible line of sight, creating a three-dimensional map. Within a three-meter radius, everything was clearly detected. In this state, even with his eyes closed, Su Jing could walk around the house without bumping into any furniture.

"Whoosh," a chopstick floated up.

"Whoosh," a cup floated up.

"Whoosh," a plate floated up.

By understanding the old man's insights, Su Jing's control over his mental power improved significantly. However, a plate was already his limit. He continued to try, gradually increasing the weight.

"Ouch, my head hurts." Su Jing suddenly felt a headache. According to the old man's insights, this was a sign of overusing mental power, and he needed to rest. The best way was to sleep and relax.

Feeling hungry, Su Jing made a meal of monster meat. Before it was ready, various animals had already gathered at the door. Because of Su Jing's command, they didn't come in. The only one that disobeyed and ran in was the young wolf. It didn't growl at Su Jing but looked up at him, drooling.

"Let's see if you're obedient first." Su Jing grabbed the wolf, pricked its leg with a needle, and a drop of blood fell onto the Beast Token. Then he heard the wolf's voice, "Ouch."

"Little guy, do you want to eat?" Su Jing asked.

"Yes, I want to eat," the wolf nodded.

"Roll over, and I'll give you some." Su Jing said.

The wolf stood up straight, refusing to roll over. After all, it had the bloodline of a lord-level monster and was naturally proud.

"Alright, you're quite stubborn." Su Jing smiled and threw a small piece of monster meat to the wolf, which it swallowed immediately.

"Do you still want to eat? If you want to eat, roll over." Su Jing smiled.

The wolf still refused to roll over and tried to jump onto the stove. However, Su Jing caught it and threw it back to the ground. After several failed attempts, it finally rolled over, looking at Su Jing pitifully.

"Good, do a somersault." Su Jing fed the wolf another piece and continued to command it. For ordinary cats and dogs, it didn't matter much if they weren't trained, but this wolf was different. It would be a formidable creature when grown, and if it wasn't obedient, it could cause terrible consequences.

Seeing Su Jing feeding the animals, the other cats and dogs also ran in. The wolf was immediately unhappy and fiercely attacked them. Despite its small size, its speed and strength were already considerable, and it fought the cats and dogs fiercely. However, the other animals knew each other and worked together to beat it. The wolf was quickly defeated but showed no fear or discouragement, getting up to fight again.

"Little guy, come back. We're all friends, don't fight among ourselves." Su Jing quickly called out, and the wolf ran back to him but still growled at the other animals.

Su Jing fed each animal a small piece, then fed them ordinary fish meat to fill their bellies. After sending these food lovers away, he enjoyed his meal of monster meat. After eating a pound of monster meat, which would have left him half full in the past, he still felt hungry.

"Is it because my physical strength has improved, and my appetite has increased?" Su Jing made another pound of monster meat but still didn't finish it. Not wanting to be too extravagant, he made other fish and shrimp to fill his stomach.

After eating, Su Jing, as usual, made a cup of tea with the leaves from the Eternal World and enjoyed it.

However, this time, he quickly discovered something amazing. After just one cup, he felt his tired mental state recover significantly. He tried to use his mental power to control objects, and his headache was gone.

"Damn, it usually takes a few hours or a day to recover, but this is too fast." Su Jing drank a few more cups, and his mental power quickly recovered, almost reaching its best state.

What surprised him even more was that he felt his mental power growing. His consciousness sank into his mind, and he saw the liquid substance turning into mist, swirling around. This was a sign of potential mental power being tapped, the fastest stage of a mentalist's growth. Once all the liquid turned into mist, the potential mental power would be fully tapped, and growth would slow down.

"Before, I didn't know how to control my mental power, so I didn't realize how amazing these leaves are. They not only speed up the recovery of mental power but also accelerate the tapping of mental power. This is great." Su Jing continued to train his mental power, combining it with the tea made from the leaves, and his mental power grew rapidly.
