Chapter 9

"Stop standing there, take a look at your harvest first." The skeleton mentor sat on the ten-sided black lotus spatial body, swinging its pitch-black, shiny skeleton leg, and woke Wang Yan, who had a bitter smile on his face.

"Ah, harvest? There's actually a harvest?" Wang Yan immediately perked up upon hearing this, staring at the skeleton mentor with a radiant expression.

The skeleton mentor waved its right skeleton arm in a domineering manner, but its appearance was somewhat out of place, making it look more like it was being comical.

"Not only is there a harvest, but there's quite a bit. Your current mental energy has reached 10.31. Do you remember when I told you that according to the Rebirth System's settings, once your mental energy reaches 10, the system will automatically reward you with a cultivation technique and a weapon tailored for you?"

"What?"

Wang Yan suddenly felt as if the sky was dropping pies again, this time hitting him so hard that he was a bit dizzy. "Where? Why can't I see it?"

Ding...

Wang Yan felt a 'buzz' in his mind, and he realized that a 'Basic Guide to Mental Energy Manipulation' had somehow appeared in his consciousness.

"Too profound!" Wang Yan quickly skimmed through it and immediately felt that the manipulation of mental energy was incredibly profound, as if a new path had been opened before him, giving him a sense of enlightenment or a sudden realization.

"How about it?" The skeleton mentor also enjoyed Wang Yan's current expression.

"Amazing!" Wang Yan couldn't express his thoughts with words. "This is just the basic guide to mental energy manipulation. If the advanced version is like this, wouldn't it be invincible?!"

"Exactly, at least on Earth, you would be invincible." The skeleton mentor said with a casual expression.

"Yay!" Wang Yan clenched his fist and waved it excitedly. "By the way, didn't you say there was a weapon too? I..."

Before Wang Yan could finish, a white light flashed, and when he looked again, he found a coin-like object in his hand, similar in size to a one-yuan coin but much thinner.

"Mentor, this... this can't be the weapon you mentioned, right?" Wang Yan looked at the skeleton mentor with a speechless expression. This was clearly just a thin coin, how could it be considered a weapon? This was too unreliable.

"Mental Energy Disk, in its basic form, is disk-shaped, a mental energy manipulation weapon that can change size and shape at will. It can grow as large as a human head or shrink to the size of a needle tip." The skeleton mentor explained calmly.

"Is that true?" Wang Yan found it a bit too incredible, but he still chose to believe it 100%. He was just expressing his amazement.

"You can try it now." The skeleton mentor said indifferently. "Just like when you manipulate a bullet with your mental energy."

"Uh..." Wang Yan was taken aback and immediately focused his mental energy on the Mental Energy Disk.

Swish!

The Mental Energy Disk disappeared from his hand under Wang Yan's control, aiming at a pine tree in front of him.

Zzz...

The Mental Energy Disk easily penetrated the trunk of the pine tree, and Wang Yan surprisingly realized that the process encountered no resistance at all, making it even easier than manipulating a bullet. However, the bullet's acceleration was significant, and Wang Yan had to take it seriously, which only meant that the Mental Energy Disk was even more lethal than a high-speed bullet.

"Grow..." Wang Yan muttered, and the Mental Energy Disk grew slightly.

"Shrink..." The Mental Energy Disk shrank again.

After a few rounds, Wang Yan finally understood the basic manipulation of the Mental Energy Disk.

"This is definitely a god-level weapon." Wang Yan held the Mental Energy Disk in his hand with a confident tone, though he didn't really know what a god-level weapon was.

"Don't rush. This is just its first form. As your mental energy grows, it will evolve step by step. When it truly recovers its true form, it will be the only one in the world." The skeleton mentor's words reignited Wang Yan's emotions.

"All that is for later. But for now, it's enough for me." Wang Yan squeezed the Mental Energy Disk hard, his confidence soaring. With the Mental Energy Disk in hand, he believed he could challenge even a War Venerable-level expert or a Lord-level monster.

"What's your next plan?" The skeleton mentor nodded in satisfaction at Wang Yan's state.

"There's no time. I need to hunt another five hundred Level 2 monsters, accumulate some points, and exchange the formula for the Golden Wound Medicine. To be honest, I'm looking forward to it." Wang Yan had made this decision after careful consideration.

"You won't be disappointed." The skeleton mentor approved of Wang Yan's plan.

"I can't wait." Wang Yan's eyes tightened, and he stared intently at an F-level Beast Soldier, a spotted leopard, that suddenly appeared in front of him.

Thud!

The spotted leopard, which had been running at high speed, suddenly fell to the ground, flipping several times and landing several meters away.

At this moment, Wang Yan did not use physical force but the Mental Energy Disk he had just obtained. The Mental Energy Disk flew out in its original size and, upon contacting the leopard's nostril, instantly shrunk to the size of a needle tip. Under Wang Yan's mental energy control, it entered the leopard's left nostril, expanded inside its heart, and destroyed it. It then flew out, shrinking back to a needle tip and exiting through the right nostril.

Wang Yan moved his mind, bound the leopard, and threw it into the 103 space. The 101 and 102 spaces were already full of monster corpses, but since time was stopped in these spaces, the corpses would not rot and would remain fresh.

After the previous training, Wang Yan believed that his hit rate against Beast Soldier-level monsters had reached 100%, with almost no mistakes.

"Don't just focus on earning points. Remember, you are now a初级掌控者, and you can already absorb the Level 3 souls of Beast General-level monsters." The skeleton mentor's voice echoed in Wang Yan's mind, though it was unclear where it had gone.

"Ah, how could I forget that?" Wang Yan slapped his head, speechless. "But with the Mental Energy Disk, the end is near for Beast General-level monsters. Unfortunately, I need to leave immediately, or I would definitely pack all of you into my space."

Wang Yan's boast was a bit exaggerated, but as long as he was careful, hunting some E-level Beast General monsters was not a problem, and even ambushing a D-level Beast General monster might be possible.

In the Penglai Ruins' Insect Forest, Wang Yan had just dealt with six F-level monsters, the Spiked Grasshoppers. From the ruins map, Wang Yan knew that the monsters in this area were not too high in level, with the highest recorded being an E-level Beast General, the Centipede Poison Spider. However, this area had a high density of monsters, which was why Wang Yan decided to come here to save time, as he had very little time left.

"Cluck..."

An F-level monster, a Black-Haired Vulture, flew up from a tree to Wang Yan's right. Wang Yan moved his mind, and the Mental Energy Disk flew out at high speed.

At the same time, the Black-Haired Vulture's cry suddenly stopped, and it fell from the air, but its body did not hit the ground. Instead, it hung on a branch of a locust tree.

Wang Yan was speechless. He had intended to store its body in the space, but because it was too far away, his mental energy could not control it, so he had to give up. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a buzzing sound.

"Oh no! I've disturbed a nest of God-Killing Bees. The Black-Haired Vulture must have wanted to take someone down with it. My luck is really terrible." Wang Yan shouted and ran without stopping.

He knew the power of the God-Killing Bees. Despite their F-level, they had once taken down a War Deity-level expert. By the time the rescue team arrived, the expert had been reduced to a pile of bones, a scene that shocked everyone present.

"Wait! Your luck is really incredible. You managed to encounter such a good opportunity." At this moment, the skeleton mentor appeared, marveling.

"Mentor, are you really praising me?" Wang Yan ran while looking bitter.

"Where do you think you're running? I remember you have six empty spaces, right?" The skeleton mentor was amused by Wang Yan's actions, surprised that the usually calm Wang Yan had lost his composure when faced with the God-Killing Bees.

"Ah... right." Wang Yan slapped his head again, not daring to stay, and disappeared into the 104 space.

Wang Yan felt embarrassed. He had instinctively run away, clearly influenced by the reports, forgetting about the Rebirth Space. This showed how terrifying the God-Killing Bees were in his mind.

"Now, try to get as many God-Killing Bees as you can. I can tell you that their venom glands are one of the main ingredients for the Golden Wound Medicine. Using the venom glands of God-Killing Bees, the Golden Wound Medicine will be the best possible." The skeleton mentor added another piece of information before Wang Yan could recover.

"I see... so you were really praising me." Wang Yan realized, but if it were the old him, he would rather not have such good luck. Now, with the Rebirth Space, he didn't care anymore.

Through the space, Wang Yan could see the outside situation. The Mental Energy Disk floated above his head, ready to lock onto targets.

In the Insect Forest, the God-Killing Bees, which had been charging forward, suddenly found their target missing. They circled in the air for a while before turning back in the direction they came from.

"Right now." Wang Yan's figure flashed out of the space, and the Mental Energy Disk flew out at high speed. In an instant, it pierced the last six God-Killing Bees, which were still struggling and falling. Wang Yan used his mental energy to pull them into the 103 space and immediately flashed into the 104 space.

When the six God-Killing Bees met their fate, the others became alert and circled in the air, trying to find the culprit but finding nothing.

Facing the God-Killing Bees, Wang Yan did not attempt any high-risk moves. He simply used the Mental Energy Disk to pierce their bodies, avoiding their venom glands, rendering them temporarily harmless. He then used his mental energy to bind them and pull them into the space. If the God-Killing Bees were not severely injured, it would be difficult for Wang Yan to control them with his mental energy, but he believed that once he mastered the 'Basic Guide to Mental Energy Manipulation,' it would be no problem.
