As if he knew what Ye Chong was up to, the white-haired mentalist smiled and spoke first, "Please relax, please relax. I mean no harm. Hmm, as you know, mentalists are very sensitive. "
Ye Chong knew that mentalists focused on mental training. They were much more sensitive than the average person. Even combat experts with heightened senses could not compare to them. Powerful mentalists could even experience unexplainable phenomena such as premonitions. This was something that Mu and Shang could not understand.
It was indeed unimaginable, but it did exist. Ye Chong had encountered it a few times. Back when he fought Feng Su, her strange attack style had left a deep impression on him. In truth, Feng Su was not very good at combat, but he was the one who was forced into a corner.
Ye Chong was not afraid of these things that could not be seen or touched. He had a much deeper understanding of mentalists than the average person. In this world, nothing was absolute. Like speed and strength, it was only a factor. However, mentalists used this factor to its fullest.
Both of them maintained a distance of 15 meters. Ye Chong did not attack immediately. He was not confident. It was obvious that this white-haired mentalist was much more skilled than Mr. Yin from the Orbits. The strength of the spiritual restraint just now was much stronger than what Rui Bing had used. Who knew if he had other means of attack? With Ye Chong's speed, 15 meters was only a matter of seconds. However, he also knew that although the physical body of a Mentalist was weak, the speed of their attacks was much faster than a Grandmaster of Combat.
They controlled the mind.
That was something more mysterious. Back on the trash planet, Mu had told Ye Chong about the importance of mental attacks. However, he only truly understood it when he had a breakthrough in his spear combat skill. It was also then that he became a Jie expert. However, even as a Jie expert, his control over his mind was pitifully weak. Rui Bing, who was also a Jie expert, was much stronger than him in this aspect. She could even launch a pure mental attack.
Of course, Ye Chong did not feel much about it. What he wanted was strength in combat. Strength in combat was a combination, not determined by a single factor. In addition, everyone's style was different. For example, Ye Chong's strength and speed were his strengths. Coupled with the September Lan Family's muscle control techniques, he had reached the pinnacle of physical strength. Moreover, apart from the three factors of strength, speed, and spirit, there were many other factors that would affect combat power, such as experience, thinking, and so on.
"Who are you?" Ye Chong asked. His voice was calm but firm.
"My name is Huang Baiyi. I'm a mentalist." Although Huang Baiyi was not exactly handsome, his temperament and demeanor were impeccable. There was maturity in his calmness, and he didn't seem stiff at all. His composure was completely different from Ye Chong's. One was gentle and refined, while the other was cold and murderous.
Ye Chong was doing much better. He could already conceal his killing intent. Unlike before, he was like an unsheathed sword. No matter where he was, he was so conspicuous and out of place.
"Phoenix?" Ye Chong narrowed his eyes. "Do you know Huang Jiming?" He was very sensitive to the Three Aristocratic Families. The Xi Feng Tribe was one of the Three Aristocratic Families. Most of the women had the surname Feng, and most of the men had the surname Huang. Huang Jiming was one of the most famous experts in the Xi Feng Tribe. If the white-haired mentalist was from the Xi Feng Tribe, he would definitely know him.
"Huang Jiming?" Huang Baiyi was surprised, and shook his head. "No. Who is he?" The expression on his face was extremely calm and without the slightest flaw. Most importantly, his heartbeat hadn't changed at all from beginning to end.
He was not lying. Ye Chong's eyes returned to normal. This was the free space zone. The chances of encountering a member of the Xi Feng Tribe here were close to zero.
"Is he your enemy?" Huang Baiyi asked curiously.
"No." Ye Chong shut his mouth.
Huang Baiyi laughed softly, and looked at Ye Chong with interest. "Young friend, how old are you?"
"Why should I tell you?" Ye Chong asked straightforwardly.
Huang Baiyi was surprised, and laughed. "Not bad, not bad. How about this, I ask you a question, and you ask me a question. It's a fair deal. What do you think? "
Ye Chong thought about it, and nodded. "Alright." He had many questions in his mind, and perhaps the man before him could answer them.
Huang Baiyi laughed softly and said, "Alright. Hmm, I'll ask first, the question just now."
"23." Ye Chong's answer was short and concise.
Huang Baiyi's eyes were filled with surprise, "Amazing! You're a Jie expert at such a young age, your future is limitless! Hmm, it's your turn now. "
Ye Chong tilted his head and thought for a moment. "I want to know your strength." This was what Ye Chong wanted to know the most, so that he could make the best decision based on the current situation.
Huang Baiyi paused for a moment, and smiled wryly. "You've stumped me. I don't know how much you know about mentalists. Mentalists are not like the combat world, where there are clear classifications. There are no classifications among mentalists, and I don't know how to describe my strength. " He pondered for a moment, and spoke again, "I started meditating when I was 6, and it's been 60 years now. I reached my first bottleneck when I was 30, and my second bottleneck when I was 45. As for my strength, I'm pretty good among the mentalists. "
He said the last sentence nonchalantly, but his confidence was unmistakable. Ye Chong was stunned.
He started meditating when he was 6, and it had been 60 years since then. That meant he was 66 years old. He couldn't associate the white-haired middle-aged man in front of him with a sixty-six-year-old old man.
Bottlenecks were something that every expert would encounter during their growth. Reaching a bottleneck also meant that their strength had reached a certain level. For most people, breaking through a bottleneck once in their life was already a blessing.
Ye Chong had only encountered one real bottleneck so far. It was because of this breakthrough that he had truly stepped into the realm of a Jie expert. The second bottleneck was still far away from him. One could only imagine how powerful he would be after breaking through two bottlenecks! While he did not know if being a mentalist was the same as being a combat expert, there was no doubt that this man was strong.
"Uh, if you're not satisfied with this answer, you can ask another question. This one doesn't count. "Huang Baiyi's open and honest demeanor left a good impression on him.
Ye Chong shook his head, "No need, ask away." Huang Baiyi's words had provided enough information, and Ye Chong got the answer he wanted.
"Are you interested in learning about mentalists?" Huang Baiyi stared at Ye Chong, and explained, "Haha, you'll know how boring life here is in the future. It's good to find something to pass the time."
"No," Ye Chong answered firmly. He had no talent as a mentalist, and this was the conclusion he came to after many tests. Besides, he had learned a lot of things, and what he needed to do now was to integrate them all. Being too greedy would make him fail in every field.
Ye Chong's resolute refusal was obviously out of Huang Baiyi's expectation. However, he quickly recovered and nodded, "To each his own, it's not something that can be forced." His words were frank, and it made people feel that he was an extraordinary man.
It was Ye Chong's turn to ask, "What is this place?"
Huang Baiyi looked at Ye Chong curiously, "You don't know? Then how did you get in? This is the Black Forest. The most dangerous place on Dankwood planet. You're lucky to have made it here alive. "
Huang Baiyi sat on the ground and continued, "I know what you're going to ask. But I don't know the way out. How long do you think I've been here? "
"How long?" Ye Chong asked.
"10 years!"
Ye Chong was speechless. Staying alone in a place like this for 10 years would definitely drive anyone crazy.
Huang Baiyi smiled indifferently, "This place is good, there's no conflict. I used to feel lonely, but now you're here, I have a companion. But I'm curious, how did you get in? Even a Jie expert can't come out of the Black Forest unscathed. "
"I know a little alchemy," Ye Chong replied.
Huang Baiyi realized, "No wonder! The Black Forest is an alchemist's paradise, but also a paradise of death! "He was right, and Ye Chong agreed with him. The Black Forest was rich in alchemy resources, it was definitely a paradise for alchemists. However, the dangers were also as rich as alchemy resources. It would be difficult for an average alchemist to survive in the Black Forest.
Huang Baiyi looked at Ye Chong like he was looking at a monster, and joked, "I didn't expect to meet a genius. A Jie expert in alchemy, hehe, that's a terrifying combination! "He seemed to be familiar with all kinds of professions.
Ye Chong no longer wanted to kill him. If it was as Huang Baiyi said, and he could not leave this place, then it would be important to have a companion. Having lived on the trash planet, he knew that loneliness and solitude were harder to bear than fighting.
However, Ye Chong did not give up. He wanted to survey the surrounding terrain himself.
