[You have absolute control over the magic energy network, able to sever or seize the casting rights of any node at any time, even extracting all their magic power]

[The feedback from the seed of nature can be stored in the magic energy network. You can periodically extract or infuse it into a node, greatly enhancing the energy level in a short period]

...

"Magic energy network... But the mental power requirement is a bit high."

Luo De finished reading the entry introduction and couldn't help but slightly frown.

It seems I'll really need to spend more time meditating to improve my mental power.

However, although the symbiotic power of the entry is temporarily unusable, the effect of the extraordinary lord itself is still quite valuable.

There aren't any flashy abilities, just a pure increase in numerical values.

This time, the increase in mental power directly raises Luo De's mental power to 24.6.

In terms of numbers, Luo De is now a middle-level wizard apprentice.

However, the meditation technique only has three star rings, which is due to Luo De's high mental power allowing for more efficient meditation, thus condensing many star rings in a short time.

To become a middle-level wizard apprentice requires seven star rings, and Luo De is still short by four.

But the mental power of 24.6 will allow Luo De greater efficiency.

The improvement in magic resistance is also quite valuable.

So-called 20% magic resistance means the same magic would only inflict eighty percent of the damage on Luo De.

Theoretically, if magic resistance reaches one hundred percent, it would equate to immunity from magic damage.

But it's said high-level spells come with magic piercing power, similar to ignoring the effects of magic resistance.

——This is the main difference between ordinary flame and flame used in spellcasting.

And the most typical magic piercing power around Luo De is the dragon's breath.

Frost and Thunder are not true dragons; the magic piercing power in their breath isn't strong, yet it can still destroy magic items.

The remaining effects of the extraordinary lord seem more focused on enhancing the resources of the territory.

Luo De feels that none of them are useless.

Research on extraordinary gemstones, vein mutations, and the production of extraordinary gemstones all have a guaranteed probability.

Theoretically, out of every hundred veins in Luo De's territory, ten will undergo mutations.

It's known that the entry's definition of veins includes not only copper and iron ore but also stone and coal veins—anything that lacks life still counts as veins!

The entire Northern Province has at least three hundred veins, meaning thirty mutated veins!

If this were to spread across the entire Empire, it would mean at least ninety mutated veins!

"Seems like I have to become the Emperor, even if it's just for the Empire!"

Luo De couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Eh, wait,"

"The massive explosion of extraordinary resources, combined with the enhancement of children's talents..."

"Isn't this the so-called 'spiritual energy' revival?"

Luo De suddenly realized, touching his cheek as he pondered secretly,

"No, I cannot keep such a good thing to myself."

"Hmm."

Luo De nodded thoughtfully, "I should bring about a 'spiritual energy' revival for the whole continent!"

Luo De is not just dreaming or indulging himself.

If not for caution's sake, fearing the presence of old monsters like necromancers or self-destructive maniacs, Luo De wouldn't have had to proceed so vigilantly.

Thinking of this.

Luo De directly activated the [Extraordinary Lord] entry.

Instantly, a piercing cold stung the back of his neck, as if an ice spike was ruthlessly jabbed into his vertebra!

Cold spread upward from the neck, rushing to the brain!

The intense pain made Luo De unable to resist holding his head, his body instinctively leaning back!

Luckily, sitting on the bed at the moment, Luo De fell directly onto Vivian's lap!

Vivian, who was feigning sleep, was immediately startled, holding Luo De tightly!

"What, what's happening?!"

The sudden change completely panicked Vivian, one arm tightly hugging Luo De, while the other swiftly drew out the embroidery needle!

Vivian scanned her surroundings vigilantly, her eyes sharp like a startled mother leopard!

"It's nothing..."

Luo De gritted his teeth, his voice trembling, stopping Vivian from calling for help.

"It's just that I've broken through the bottleneck."

An immediate five-point increase in mental power was not something an ordinary person could endure.

Luo De felt his head was about to explode.

At that moment, his temples continued to throb violently, each pulse accompanied by tearing pain, causing cold sweat to pop out on his forehead instantly.

Compared to the increase in mental power, the swelling pain caused by the knowledge of extraordinary gemstone cutting and embedding technology was completely negligible.

Fortunately, the system's entry upgrades are progressive.

Although challenging the physiological limit, it didn't truly endanger life.

Luo De lay on Vivian's lap for quite a while as the tearing pain gradually weakened.

Luo De let out a long breath and closed his eyes.

The changes following the mental power increase were exceptionally evident.

For Luo De, the whole world became unusually clear, with a noticeable enhancement of his sensory perception.

Luo De could clearly hear Vivian's heart beating faster due to nervousness and sense her breathing.

No need for a spirit amplifier, Luo De's own mental power could freely extend outward.

He tried gathering his mental power toward the direction of the door.

Invisible spiritual tentacles easily penetrated the thick oak door, continuing to stretch out along the corridor outside the door.

The "view" of the staircase appeared in Luo De's mind, able to "see" the Frost Iron Guard standing on guard there.

The soldier was standing by the wall, maintaining vigilance while quickly raising his hand to scratch his cheek.

However, the extension of mental power ended there.
