Some say that blood vessels are the channels of life.

The neurons that are distributed throughout the body are the medium of divine thought.

The mystical meridians serve as the main bridge connecting the two.

At that moment, Lin Dong suddenly realized:

Mental power is real.

Just like meridians, which have never been anatomically proven, just because you can't see them doesn't mean they aren't there...

Lin Dong is now in a mysterious state.

Both the body and mind are in a state of ultimate clarity.

He was like a crystal-clear piece of life, greedily absorbing the surrounding holy light...

It's unclear how much time passed before Lin Dong finally snapped out of his reverie.

Then, he was able to clearly control his internal or external mental energy.

These invisible forces take on countless shapes, sometimes like a floating cloud, sometimes like a wisp of wind.

More often than not, they are like soft tentacles that can spread outwards and reach in an instant.

Lin Dong discovered that after his blood vessels, nerves, and meridians were strengthened, his mental power actually materialized.

However, the distance to the outside world is only about 5 meters.

Beyond that, there's nothing we can do.

Specifically, his mental tentacles could reach a plate of apples just 5 meters away.

As his mental energy enveloped the surface of the apple, the information about the fruits on the plate was immediately projected into his mind, as if by a supercomputer.

Even the surface of an apple—how many inconspicuous mold spots it has, whether the flesh is sweet, how many cores it has...

This series of detailed information points instantly appeared in his mind.

This... is this the projection of mental energy?

That's amazing!

The enhancement hasn't even started yet, and this materialized spiritual power is already so incredible. What will it be like after the enhancement?

Lin Dong was overjoyed, so he didn't hesitate and immediately activated [Enhanced Wings] again.

Enhancement command issued:

[Ding, 100 million wealth points have been consumed, which can increase mental strength by 10%.]

The host's physical body and meridians have reached the maximum human standard. Currently, the maximum increase in mental power is 500%. Would you like to enhance it?

"strengthen!"

Lin Dong immediately confirmed the reinforcement command.

Soon, a cool sensation spread throughout my body.

Especially in my mind, it was like a door had been opened, and I immediately felt a sense of clarity, like seeing the moon through the clouds.

The mental energy that could only reach 5 meters before extended to 30 meters, passing through the guest room door and just touching a female hotel employee...

Huh?

I didn't have X-ray vision, so how come this woman's entire body information is clearer than X-ray vision?

They can even tell you how many moles you have on your body right away!

Lin Dong finally understood that his max-level human body could only increase his mental strength by a maximum of 5 times at the moment.

In other words, his current mental energy is six times that of when he had a perfect physique.

A mental strength six times the human limit is an absolutely heaven-defying existence on this planet.

Just think about it, even the world's most skilled hypnotists, through intensive training and techniques, can only demonstrate a mental intensity that is two to three times that of an ordinary person.

And these hypnotists probably haven't reached the maximum level of human mental strength.

After his mental strength was enhanced, Lin Dong's mental strength was at least six times that of a top hypnotist.

To put it more vividly, it means abandoning all hypnotic techniques and induction methods.

Any top-tier hypnotist would be instantly disarmed and controlled by Lin Dong...

To test his idea, Lin Dong had a sudden thought.

The mental tentacles that were wrapped around the waitress outside the door silently invaded her mind and issued a simple command.

The waitress paused, stopped walking, turned around as instructed, and walked to Lin Dong's room door.

The doorbell rang, and Lin Dong, who was sitting on the bed, opened his eyes and raised his voice slightly: "Come in."

The guest room door was unlocked, and the female staff member pushed it open and entered, politely asking:

"Sir, would you like to get a new set of toiletries?"

"Yes."

"Please wait a moment, I'll go get it right away."

The waitress closed the door and turned to get the toiletries.

She never realized how she received the message that the toiletries in this room needed to be changed.

It's done!

Although it was my first time using my mental power to influence others, I was still a bit clumsy.

But Lin Dong firmly believes that the more he uses it, the more proficient he will become.

With his current mental strength, he has no problem sending messages or instructions to outsiders within 30 meters.

I just wonder if he can, like some hypnotists, use his mind to interfere with other people's cognition? Or even arbitrarily control other people's behavior?

Thinking about this, Lin Dong became extremely excited.

This excitement is like a little boy who has just acquired a rare set of Transformers toys and always wants to take it apart and examine it himself.

That night, Lin Dong lay in bed lost in thought, and only fell into a deep sleep late into the night.

And you know what? After his mental strength improved, his sleep quality became even better.

But Lin Dong, during his deep sleep, always had a strange feeling:

Even when he is asleep with his eyes closed, as long as he releases a wisp of his spiritual tentacles...

During sleep, the system can promptly filter out and react to any external noises, thus making early judgments about potential dangers...

This additional means of self-preservation is similar to the dangerous instincts of wild animals, or certain hunters and killers.

However, Lin Dong's skill is more intuitive and more practical.

................................................

Nothing was said that night.

The next morning, Lin Dong woke up feeling refreshed. He looked in the mirror in the bathroom and felt completely transformed.

He used to be handsome and had a great presence.

But never before has it radiated such a captivating light from the inside out.

Perhaps, even the full strengthening of the physical body cannot compare to a momentary spiritual elevation?

Could this be what the ancients called the transformation of divine consciousness?

It was already past 9 a.m. when we were eating breakfast.

Lin Dong, who was sitting in the second-floor buffet restaurant, suddenly received a call from the chubby Ma Baorong:

"Boss, come quick to the renovation site of the new Wangfudong store, something's happened!"

Lin Dong's heart skipped a beat, but without asking any further questions, he said:

"I'll be right there."

Ten minutes later, Lin Dong rode his cool red Suzuki to Wangfu Road East Street.

The storefront that Wanqi Electric Appliances bought was now surrounded by onlookers.

A white police car was parked on the side of the street.

With Lin Dong's keen eyesight, he casually glanced around and immediately took in the situation within the crowd.

With just one glance, Boss Lin, still riding his motorcycle, turned extremely gloomy.
