178: Fine Bell Jar

"It's a bit of a pity."

Pang Tian Ce sighed lightly; he hadn't expected that Chen Du had actually consumed something of that sort.

One must know that anything linked to Martial Skill Comprehension Ability is outrageously expensive.

Even the trashiest ones cannot be very cheap.

He had read Chen Du's previous file; his family situation couldn't be described as dirt poor, but it was just enough to get by.

He relied on qi and blood milk to nourish his body every day, and was subsequently discovered through competitions.

His contract even jumped straight from the initially assessed C-grade to A-grade.

The rewards Chen Du received from the competitions he participated in were all on record.

Pang Tian Ce had never expected that this matter had actually occurred after arriving at the First Ecological Zone.

Now, he suddenly felt a bit of regret for giving Chen Du an extra 50 points back then.

It was mainly because he hadn't saved Chen Du immediately at that time, causing him to suffer quite a bit.

That 50-point so-called hush money was just a small compensation Pang Tian Ce personally gave to Chen Du.

If not for those 100 points, the other party certainly wouldn't have been able to buy the Zhan Zhan Fruit.

Who would have thought that it was precisely those 50 points that ruined things!

He naturally knew the effects of the Zhan Zhan Fruit.

Although it is touted as the strongest Comprehension Ability fruit with infinite growth, that is a fake infinite growth.

Even if you found someone to buff the effects for you every day, your body wouldn't be able to handle such torment.

After being seriously injured, many people never made any progress for the rest of their lives.

This fruit has another name that fits reality, called the Waste Waste Fruit.

It simply cannot function in reality!

"Chen Du, if you buy anything relatively expensive next time, you can ask me first."

"Don't be afraid to disturb me, or be afraid to contact me proactively because of my status as Vice-Principal."

"Although one Enlightenment Fruit won't have a decisive impact on your future, it is ultimately not good."

Chen Du nodded, wearing an expression that said he knew he was wrong.

Pang Tian Ce had actually been observing Chen Du's reaction all along; upon learning that he couldn't use the Enlightenment Fruit, he was only a little disappointed at first.

But he adjusted quickly, actively facing the reality of the situation.

He couldn't help but praise him in his heart; Chen Du's emotional stability was impressive.

He didn't have any emotional breakdown because he couldn't get a supreme treasure.

It seems there is a reason why he was able to fight his way out from an ordinary family!

His talent and mentality are both top-tier!

"If you are certain about choosing the Earth Qilin Right Arm and the Jing Jing Storm, then scan this code."

Pang Tian Ce brought the QR code on his wristband in front of Chen Du; although his position was very high.

But in the era of artificial intelligence, every step of such matters must have a traceable historical record, and the necessary procedures cannot be skipped.

Seeing this, Chen Du was long since unfazed. Without a word, he scanned the code and directly selected the Earth Qilin Right Arm and the Jing Jing Storm before clicking confirm.

After receiving the confirmation message, Pang Tian Ce used his wristband to open the transparent glass container.

Human hearts are uncontrollable; only emotionless machines and programs can achieve true fairness.

Anyone who wants to use a supreme treasure must meet the corresponding conditions; if the conditions are not met.

Even if you were the Principal's own son, he would be unable to let you use the supreme treasure.

After all, to put it broadly, this thing is an investment in the future of the entire High Martial Civilization.

If everyone were selfish and gave these precious resources to good-for-nothings, then the High Martial Civilization wouldn't be far from destruction.

"Although the Jing Jing Storm can increase the Mental Energy of a Martial Artist below level 20 by 1 level, its limit is 19.9."

"Normally, it should be used at level 18.9."

"But I suggest you consume it now. It not only increases your Mental Energy talent, but you can also immediately obtain a mental-type Martial Skill."

"In terms of time cost, consuming it immediately is best. After all, once your Mental Energy talent is higher, your rate of progress will naturally be faster."

Chen Du nodded, wearing an expression that said what you said makes perfect sense.

After all, Chen Du relied on the wave count of the Crystal Space to increase his Mental Energy.

Even if Pang Tian Ce hadn't said anything, he would have used it immediately.

Immediately after, following Pang Tian Ce's instructions, Chen Du found a spot to lie down and placed the leaf-shaped Jing Jing Storm on his forehead.

Then, he used a long sword to prick his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto it.

Because of this drop of blood from Chen Du, the blue streams within the veins began to release a radiance as brilliant as the stars.

The intensity of the light even exceeded the blinding white lights above.

Chen Du slowly closed his eyes.

He felt an invisible wind—why call it invisible? Because this wind was not around his body.

But rather blowing inside his mind, or more accurately, within his consciousness.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, finally forming a tornado. At this moment, Chen Du felt a slight throbbing pain in his head.

This feeling was incomparably familiar; he understood immediately that this was his Mental Energy talent being raised.

He knew that feeling of the pool being expanded all too well.

No wonder it's called the Jing Jing Storm!

After some time, a feeling of coolness descended into his mind like rain and dew.

Soon, that tornado disappeared from his mind.

Through his panel, Chen Du could clearly see that his Mental Energy had increased by one level.

Level 17.6!

It was originally level 15.6, and later, during the process of his Life Strength increasing to level 11.

He passed the 11th stage, where the gap wasn't very large to begin with, increasing his Mental Energy by 1 level.

This time, the Jing Jing Storm added another level, and he obtained a new mental-type Martial Skill.

Spirit Bell Shield!

The instant he obtained it, Chen Du clearly knew its ability.

This is a mental-type Martial Skill capable of defending against Mental Energy attacks.

Furthermore, it can not only be used on oneself, but can also be applied to others; in other words, it can protect teammates.

Although Chen Du had previously successfully "defended" against Long Shan's string-manipulation Puppet.

That was simply because his Mental Energy was stronger than the opponent's; to put it bluntly, it was brute force overcoming all techniques, with absolutely no skill involved!

Chen Du opened his eyes and looked at his wristband, discovering with some surprise that only two and a half minutes had passed.

You must know, he had just been immersed in his own mental world, and it felt like at least several hours had passed.

He didn't expect that only two and a half minutes had passed!

"How is it? What mental-type Martial Skill did you obtain?"

Seeing Chen Du open his eyes, Pang Tian Ce knew the other party had already digested the Jing Jing Storm.

Chen Du stood up, and the leaf on his forehead slipped off due to gravity; at this moment, it looked as if it had been scorched by fire.

It could only be described as ashes; after sliding off and touching Chen Du's school uniform, it instantly disintegrated.

"Spirit Bell Shield."

Chen Du replied truthfully, then explained its abilities.

"That's really not bad."

Pang Tian Ce's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"This ability is good."

"Combined with the Earth Qilin Right Arm you are preparing to transplant later, you will happen to possess dual defense against physical and mental attacks!"

Chen Du nodded with a smile; he was also very satisfied with this ability.

These abilities were gradually making up for his weaknesses, letting him continuously move closer to becoming a hexagonal warrior!

At this moment, Pang Tian Ce suddenly took out a short blade from his Storage Ring and said seriously:

"Chen Du, take off your top!"

"I am going to help you graft the Qilin Arm now!"
