“Uncle Zhang, the college entrance exam is in just over half a month. If I don’t become a martial artist soon, won’t I fail to get into a martial arts university? I’ve been a martial artist for about two months now, so dealing with these ordinary evil god cultists shouldn’t be a problem.”

Chen Feng pointed to the dead cultist on the ground next to him and said that he had killed the cultist. The police station would give him a reward after verification, and with the reward for reporting the crime, the bonus would probably be quite substantial.

"Good lad, being able to kill a cultist single-handedly shows you're quite strong. Keep up the good work and try to get into a good martial arts university," Zhang Xingcheng said, nodding.

Afterwards, Chen Feng left the courtyard and returned home. He decided to leave the rest to the police station and didn't need to get involved.

After returning home, Chen Feng took a shower and prepared to go to sleep. However, before going to bed, he wanted to check the mortgage panel but found that he could not see it for the time being. He only knew that the panel seemed to be undergoing an upgrade.

"Could it be that it devoured the remnant soul of that black wolf, which is why the panel upgraded?" Chen Feng was puzzled and could only guess. However, the panel upgrade was a good thing, and he could only wait for it to finish.

That night, after Chen Feng fell asleep, he kept having dreams in which he fought against a giant black wolf and kept cutting off pieces of flesh from the wolf and eating them.

When Chen Feng woke up the next morning, he suddenly found himself feeling refreshed and the world before him seemed different, with all the details very clear, whereas before it seemed as if it were shrouded in a layer of mist.

Then, Chen Feng summoned the panel again and found that it had been upgraded and appeared in front of him. The changes were significant, with the addition of a new section – Mental Power.

Previously, there was no mental strength section on the panel, probably because Chen Feng's mental strength was not strong enough. Now that the panel has been upgraded, Chen Feng's mental strength has also increased, so it has appeared.

Subsequently, Chen Feng discovered that he had inexplicably comprehended a flawed B-level martial skill, which was also a mental martial skill called Devouring Mystic Technique, capable of devouring the mental energy of recently deceased beings.

He didn't know whether this mental martial skill was given to him by the panel or learned from the remnant soul of the black wolf, but this skill was quite practical and helped him improve his mental strength.

"By the way, I wonder what grade the martial arts skills of that evil god cultist are?" At this moment, Chen Feng remembered the martial arts skills USB drive he had acquired last night, and immediately took it out to log in and check it on his phone.

"Hahaha, it's actually a C-rank martial skill, the Thousand Faces Technique! This is fantastic!"

After examining it, Chen Feng burst into laughter. It turned out to be a C-level martial art, and a unique one at that, in terms of disguise and transformation. Its value was no less than 500,000, almost equivalent to an ordinary B-level martial art.

However, learning C-level martial arts skills is not so easy and has some difficulty, but Chen Feng is not worried. As long as he can enter the information into the mortgage panel, it will not be a problem.

Over the next few days, Chen Feng increased his research on the C-level martial art, the Thousand Faces Technique, and finally, four days later, he entered the Thousand Faces Technique into the mortgage panel.

Looking at the remaining experience points, there were still 7588 points left (experience points would be credited to his account after the second house mortgage was paid off on June 18th). Chen Feng hadn't used them yet, saving them to improve his Thousand Faces Technique. Therefore, he spent 3000 experience points to upgrade the Thousand Faces Technique to perfection.

The perfect Thousand Faces Technique allows one to freely alter facial features and body shape. It can be said that, apart from gender and aura, one can completely transform oneself into another person using the Thousand Faces Technique.

When Chen Feng learned about the function of the Thousand Disguise Technique, he was shocked because its function was so great. As a martial artist, especially when participating in field battles, disguise and modification were common occurrences.

However, ordinary disguise techniques, or even beginner-level disguise techniques, can only roughly change some facial features. If you encounter someone you know, they can still recognize you from your eyes and other aspects.

The perfect Thousand Faces Technique can even change one's eyes and some subconscious behavioral habits, completely transforming oneself into a stranger, so much so that even familiar people around them probably wouldn't recognize them.

Chen Feng tried changing his face in front of the mirror. He easily transformed into Zhou Ping, then into Qi Xiang, and finally, as if by some strange twist of fate, he transformed into Zhao Xue. Startled, he quickly changed back.

With 4588 cultivation experience points remaining, Chen Feng directly upgraded the incomplete Devouring Mystic Technique to the perfect level, consuming 2577 cultivation experience points.

However, a prompt appeared at this moment, indicating that consuming 1000 cultivation experience points could actually replenish part of the Devouring Mystic Technique.

Chen Feng thought about it. Anyway, he had to repay the loan again on June 1st before the college entrance examination, and he could also get 3,500 cultivation experience points. So he gritted his teeth and chose to complete the Devouring Mystic Technique.

Immediately, the incomplete text following the Devouring Mystic Technique flashed rapidly before disappearing, but the words "Basic Chapter" appeared, and its level changed to A-rank martial arts.

Moreover, the basic version of the Devouring Mystic Technique has already reached the beginner level, but it takes 1000 cultivation experience points to go from beginner to minor mastery. So, it takes 7000 cultivation experience points to reach perfection.

Currently, Chen Feng has 1011 points left, just enough to upgrade the Devouring Mystic Technique to the minor completion level. Without hesitation, he directly consumed 1000 cultivation experience points to upgrade it.

The Lesser Completion Level A-Rank Martial Skill, Devouring Mystic Technique, can devour the remnants of the souls of recently deceased beings within a radius of fifty meters, refining them to obtain pure spiritual power; its effects are terrifying.

Moreover, the Devouring Mystic Technique also has offensive properties. For example, when fighting an enemy, using the Devouring Mystic Technique can interfere with the opponent's soul, causing them to make mistakes for no reason and creating an opportunity that is advantageous to oneself.

With 11 cultivation experience points remaining, Chen Feng didn't use them all but saved them to see if he could acquire other martial arts skills before the college entrance examination.

As for the Devouring Mystic Technique, I'll wait until I repay the loan on June 1st before the college entrance exam to gain cultivation experience before improving it; there's no rush now.

However, after the Devouring Mystic Technique was completed and improved, Chen Feng's mental strength also increased by 1 point, making him feel that his perception of the surrounding world was clearer.

Chen Feng then discovered that as his mental strength increased, he was able to remotely control small objects such as pencils, paper, and hair.

"I wonder if I can control some lethal objects, like needles." Chen Feng immediately found a few ordinary iron needles at home, which his mother used to use when mending clothes.
