In front of the hundred-meter-tall city walls, massive stone statues were embedded in the walls. The statues gave off an indescribable sense of majesty and pressure.
As Shi Feng and the others approached within 100 yards of these stone statues, they suddenly felt a powerful pressure weighing down on their minds. They felt as if their bodies no longer belonged to them, and their consciousnesses began to fade. They felt as if they were on a small boat in a storm. If they were not careful, they would be turned into scrap metal.
What a powerful mental assault. Just one attack is already as tiring as using an Advanced Combat Technique. If this continues, it won't be long before my Concentration runs out. Gentle Snow frowned when she felt the mental pressure coming from the stone statue.
She had known that these statues were extraordinary when she had first arrived outside the city. Just looking at them would drain her Concentration.
Now, however, the mental assault was even more frightening. Even if she didn't look at the statues, her Concentration would still be drained.
"Guild Leader, don't tell me we're going to train here?" Shiuse Qiangwei asked as he looked at Shifeng, who had stopped in his tracks.
"That's right. We're going to train here," Shifeng said, nodding, smiling.
"Guild Leader, the mental assault here is too powerful. Even basic control over Mana is a problem, not to mention Skills and Spells. Training here is simply impossible." Shiuse Qiangwei tried to control his Mana, but due to the mental assault, the Mana he had just gathered scattered instantly.
Everyone else nodded in agreement with Shiuse Qiangwei's words.
It wouldn't have been a big deal if the mental assault had been an ordinary one, but the mental assault here was on the verge of shattering their consciousnesses. They couldn't even control their bodies properly, let alone control their Mana.
Rather than wasting time here, they might as well head to a hotel to train their Mana control. The results would be a hundred times better there.
"It is indeed very difficult to control Mana here, but we're not here to train our Mana control. Rather, we're here to train our Concentration," Shifeng explained in response to everyone's confusion.
"Train our Concentration? How is that possible?! " Shiuse Qiangwei was stunned. He stared at Shifeng in disbelief. "Isn't Spirit a Hidden Attribute that can only be improved when players level up or increase their Life Rating?"
At this moment, let alone Shiuse Qiangwei, even Gentle Snow and the others stared at Xiang Shifeng in disbelief. They felt as if Shifeng was joking with them.
Compared to Stamina, Concentration was a Hidden Attribute that was even more mysterious and difficult to improve. This was a fact that was publicly acknowledged throughout God's Domain.
Of course, while it was true that it was difficult to improve the Concentration Attribute, it would provide the greatest help to players. This was especially true for magical class players. The help the Concentration Attribute provided would be over ten times, or even dozens of times, greater than any other Attribute.
After all, not only did Concentration deplete a player's combat techniques, but it also significantly increased a player's control over their combat techniques.
Control over one's Mana wasn't the only thing that mattered. It also included control over one's body. To an expert player, control over one's body was far more important than other Attributes.
However, up until now, there were only two ways to increase Spirit.
The first was to promote one's class, and the other was to increase one's Life Rating. That way, one's Concentration would naturally improve.
Because of this, any tool that could improve a player's Concentration was extraordinarily rare on the market. Its value was over ten times that of items of the same level. Moreover, even the weakest item that could improve a player's Concentration was Dark-Gold rank. The various major powers would fight over any item that appeared on the market.
Now, however, Shifeng was telling them that they could directly improve a player's Concentration Attribute. How could they possibly believe this?
"Normally, it is indeed very difficult to improve a player's Concentration Attribute. However, the stone statues here are not simple. The Concentration they radiate is the Divine Will. As long as you can resist this Divine Will and clash with it, you can subtly absorb this Divine Will and improve your Concentration," Shifeng said, chuckling. "If you ask me what is the most precious thing in Lightforged City, I'm afraid that these stone statues are one of them. However, at the end of the day, the Divine Will they radiate is a Consumable. As players continue to absorb it, the Divine Will will decrease. Who knows how long it will take for the Divine Will to recover? If we miss out on this opportunity, it will be very difficult to find another in the future."
"It's no wonder why Guild Leader wants us to exchange all our Contribution Points for Concentration Recovery Potions. If Violet Sword's members find out about this, I'm afraid they'll spare no expense to send their peak experts to train us," Shiuse Qiangwei said, realization dawning on him.
Although Zero Wing had signed a contract with Violet Sword, granting it 100 slots to enter the ancient secret land, at the end of the day, Zero Wing wasn't based in Violet Light City. When it came to the ancient secret land's resources, Zero Wing definitely couldn't compete with Violet Sword. Once Violet Sword obtained a large number of Contribution Points, it could dispatch a large number of experts to absorb the Divine Will.
At that time, before Ling Yi's experts could absorb the Divine Will, Violet Sword's experts would most likely absorb the Divine Will from the stone statues.
"Alright, everyone, focus on resisting the mental assault. The closer you are to the stone statues, the stronger the mental assault will be. The stronger the mental assault, the more effective it will be. However, don't be greedy. If your consciousness leaves your body too much, the absorption efficiency will decrease. In fact, you might not even be able to absorb the mental assault. So, choose an appropriate distance," Shifeng said as he nodded.
As soon as Shifeng finished speaking, Shiuse Qiangwei and the others couldn't contain their joy. They promptly sat down cross-legged and began to focus on resisting the mental assault.
When it came to Concentration, ordinary expert players would, at most, use it as an Attribute that increased the number of times they could use a combat technique. However, to players like herself, who had fully unlocked their Mana Bodies, it was a completely different story.
The improvement of Concentration would allow her control over her Mana to increase significantly. With this improvement, she could further improve her control over her Mana, allowing her to manipulate more Mana to perform more complex tasks. With this, she could perform some tasks that she couldn't normally do.
The easiest way to achieve this was to break through the 100% threshold of their Mana Bodies.
With their current Concentration, they were already at their limit. If they wanted to break through the 100% threshold and perform more experiments, they'd need to control even more Mana.
Now that a path to breaking through the 100% threshold lay before them, they didn't want to waste a single second.
However, as everyone began to attempt the mental assault, their excitement vanished as if someone had poured cold water over them. Their complexions turned deathly pale.
The difference between resisting the mental assault and withstanding the mental assault is actually so huge? Shiuse Qiangwei's eyes widened involuntarily, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
She had only focused on resisting the mental assault, yet she had consumed over 20% of her Concentration. Her consciousness had even left her body, and her body was no longer under her control. This feeling was simply unbearable. The difference between this and the mental assault she'd endured previously was like heaven and earth.
It was simply unimaginable for him to resist such a mental attack.
At this moment, aside from Shiuse Qiangwei, everyone else in the room, aside from Shifeng, retreated. None of them dared to resist the mental assault within 90 yards of the stone statues.
However, Shifeng wasn't faring much better than the others.
Although he could endure the mental assault, his absorption rate wasn't ideal. Moreover, he had already consumed over 20% of his Concentration in a single attempt. He only needed 40 more mental assaults to deplete his Concentration.
In less than two minutes, Shifeng's Concentration was nearly depleted. As a result, Shifeng had no choice but to drink a Concentration Recovery Potion to replenish his Concentration quickly. He barely managed to keep up with the rate at which his Concentration was being consumed.
After more than an hour had passed, Shi Feng opened his eyes and glanced at the distant stone statue, a frustrated expression appearing on his face.
While his Concentration had indeed improved during the past hour or so, this improvement had been very difficult to detect. Fortunately, he had reached the Domain Realm, which allowed him to have a very detailed understanding of his body and mental state. Otherwise, he would've assumed that his Concentration hadn't improved at all.
Meanwhile, he only had 10 Concentration Recovery Potions on hand, and they could only last 20 hours at most. If he didn't have enough potions, he wouldn't be able to accomplish anything with his Concentration Recovery Potions.
At this rate, I won't even be able to raise my Concentration to the Tier 4 standard by the time the various superpowers' peak experts start challenging their Tier 4 Promotion Quests. Shifeng revealed a bitter smile as he looked at his improved Concentration. It's no wonder why so few experts managed to improve their Concentration through Divine Will in the past.
However, just as Shifeng was about to focus on resisting the next mental assault, Violet Cloud, who stood behind him, stood up and walked to a spot 80 yards away from the stone statues.
