Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 890 - 631: Spiritual Realm

The matter of the mixed-blood woman couldn't be resolved momentarily. Li Zheng walked up to Wind Evil Cat, scrutinizing him for a few moments. Through Prelis' Eye, he saw that Wind Evil Cat had indeed freed himself from the influence without any signs of infection.

Wind Evil Cat was also scrutinizing Li Zheng, full of astonishment: "Are you... really this season's new breed player?"

Such an incredible spiritual power, able to accurately and flawlessly transmit to every ear in the store, showcased his exquisite control over spiritual power.

This isn't a level that a player who just started over a month ago could achieve!

"I am." Li Zheng smiled faintly: "Why do you ask?"

"Nothing." Wind Evil Cat chuckled bitterly: "I was just scared by your strength. If someone had told me before that a new player could grow to your strength within a month, I would have laughed it off..."

"Haha, it's nothing much. Just some good luck and a few encounters." Li Zheng thought to himself that fortunately, due to his lack of physical strength, his spiritual power couldn't be used recklessly. Otherwise, if Wind Evil Cat knew the real strength of his spiritual power now, it might scare him silly.

Not wanting to discuss this further, Li Zheng changed the topic and asked: "How much do you know about the Optimist Race?"

"Honestly, not much." Wind Evil Cat thought for a moment and said: "Or rather, apart from their innate abilities, there are almost no secrets about the Optimist Race itself. Even their innate abilities have been studied by countless people, and many have tried to replicate them, but there has never been a successful precedent."

"Not even once?!" Li Zheng was surprised.

The Outer City has developed to this day, having gone through countless generations. The number of people who have studied various unsolved mysteries might be countless, like fish crossing the river.

Yet, there isn't even one successful precedent of replicating the Optimist Race's talents, which is somewhat frightening.

"Truly, not once has anyone succeeded." Wind Evil Cat shook his head and said: "Initially, some thought the Optimist Race wanted to keep it secret, deliberately concealing key information during the research process until someone finally concluded... that even the Optimist Race themselves can't clearly explain the principle of their innate ability."

"How could it be like this?" Li Zheng found it hard to believe. It was as if countless scientists and biologists had diligently researched for who knows how many years, exhausting so much effort, only to find they couldn't explain the principles of breathing, which would be absurd.

Science is a magical discipline. Everything that reasonably exists in the world can be explained through scientific methods, even getting to the bottom of it to understand the essence, which shouldn't be difficult.

But so many people haven't been able to understand the talents of the Optimist Race, which is indeed a bit terrifying.

"It's actually not hard to understand." Wind Evil Cat chuckled bitterly: "The study of spiritual power in the Outer City has always been difficult since ancient times. Otherwise, there would have been methods to break through the spiritual power limit by now."

Li Zheng was stunned: "Is spiritual power... really that hard to explore?"

Isn't it just a matter of projecting spiritual power, entering someone else's mind, and observing the changes in their spiritual body?

Why did it sound like...

The Outer City residents don't know how to use this method?

Or is it because they haven't formed nodes, preventing them from achieving it?

Upon careful consideration, Li Zheng thought it should be the latter.

Projecting spiritual power requires a certain strength of one's spiritual power. Even Mirel's previously comprehended "Myriad Whips Return to the Root" and similar Spiritual Object Control methods were actually very shallow outersourcing techniques. They can definitely not enter someone else's mind to observe others' spiritual power as a substitute for eyes.

What's more, every spiritual body instinctively has defenses. Once invaded by external spiritual power, they will autonomously counterattack. If it weren't for taking advantage of the moment the mixed-blood woman's spiritual body was distracted by pale red evil qi, Li Zheng would have had a lot of trouble entering her mind.

So it's not that the Outer City residents don't want to delve into spiritual research, but rather that they can't meet the rigid requirements, making it impossible to study thoroughly.

"Describing it as difficult doesn't do justice to the challenge of researching spiritual power." Wind Evil Cat said: "Generations of Outer City residents have exhausted all efforts to find a method to continue enhancing spiritual power, which is to use energy from purified Twisted Magic Crystals to increase the purity of spiritual power."

But this method has significant limitations. Besides having to enter the Seven Sins Domain to battle for Twisted Magic Crystals, one also needs to find an existence like the Optimist Race to eliminate the negative influences within them before safely absorbing them.

Even so, as more magic crystal energy is absorbed, the more magic crystal energy is needed to further purify spiritual power.

"Ten years ago, when my spiritual power reached the basic level limit, I first absorbed White Magic Crystals. Now, even the energy from Red Magic Crystals hardly brings any significant enhancement to my spiritual power. I can only rely on quantity to accumulate slowly." As Wind Evil Cat said this, he sighed rarely: "I can feel the effect of Red Magic Crystals diminishing significantly, and soon, their impact will become negligible. By then..."

By then, unless he could obtain even more rare and scarce higher-level Twisted Magic Crystals that are hard to find within several years, his spiritual power enhancement would reach its limit.

Li Zheng was very tempted to suggest that Wind Evil Cat let him into his mind to see with his own eyes what a magic crystal energy-enhanced spiritual body looked like.
