"It hurts so much!"
The Awakening of his mental power was not yet over. At this moment, it felt as if tens of thousands of steel needles were repeatedly piercing his entire body. Such intense pain would have caused anyone else's brain to activate its self-preservation mechanism and make them faint immediately.
However, Li Xin possessed the Eternal God Brain, which would not shut down due to his body's pain. Therefore, no matter how much it hurt, Li Xin would not lose consciousness; he could only endure it.
Enduring this inhumane pain, Li Xin still stood up with a tenacious will.
He wanted to do something to distract himself from this inhumane suffering.
But after gripping the hilt with all his might, he found that he couldn't even pull out the Blood Shadow Battle Sword stuck in the ground!
At this moment, he was in such agony that he wished he could just faint. He didn't know how long this inhumane torture lasted, but gradually, his entire being became numb.
"It's over, it's finally over!"
He didn't know when, but the constant pain in his body and Soul, like countless steel needles repeatedly piercing him, vanished in an instant.
At the same time, a cool energy flowed from his mind to all parts of his Soul and Physical Body, healing his battered Physical Body and Soul.
At this moment, Li Xin felt as if he was bathed in the warmest sunlight of Heaven. That feeling of comfort was the most wonderful he had ever experienced in his life.
"It truly is one moment in Hell, the next in Heaven!"
After he recovered, he couldn't help but sigh. Under this warm baptism, it felt as if the pain he had just experienced was fake.
"Is this mental power?"
Li Xin's Mental Energy perception spread out, and he found that his Mental Energy was like an invisible hand.
With a thought, the battle sword stuck in the ground floated up. Following his will, the battle sword began to practice basic sword techniques in the air by itself.
As his thought moved again, the surrounding stones all floated up and smashed in the same direction like cannonballs.
"Howl!!!"
At this moment, a group of Black Scaled Wolves in the distance, led by their Black Scaled Wolf King, rapidly charged towards Li Xin.
The Black Scaled Wolf King was a mid-Rank God of War-level monster. Upon discovering the strong scent of blood in the area, it pursued it.
Li Xin's location was not far from the source of the blood, so the Black Wolf King naturally followed the scent of blood to find him.
There were seventy-six Black Scaled Wolves in this pack. Except for the Black Scaled Wolf King, all the others were merely beast soldiers.
"Perfect timing!"
Upon seeing the Black Scaled Wolves approaching, Li Xin's eyes lit up. He had just been looking for monsters to test his Mental Energy, and he hadn't expected these Black Scaled Wolves to deliver themselves to his doorstep.
"Kill!"
Before the Black Scaled Wolves could charge over, Li Xin controlled the shields on his body to blast the foremost Black Scaled Wolf with full force.
The Black Scaled Wolves seemed to have been hit by a large truck traveling at three hundred kilometers per hour. Their scales shattered, their bodies were severely twisted and deformed, and blood splattered across the sky, dyeing the air red.
"They're so weak!"
With a thought, Li Xin controlled two battle swords and two shields. Wherever his gaze fell, the battle swords and shields flew out and struck at an extremely fast speed.
These beast soldier-Rank Black Scaled Wolves simply couldn't withstand Li Xin, who had already Awakened his mental power.
In less than a few seconds, most of these Black Scaled Wolves had been slaughtered by Li Xin.
"Howl!!!"
The Black Scaled Wolf King knew no fear. It bared its fangs and let out a roar, gathering strength in its four limbs and sprinting, then suddenly pounced with a burst of acceleration.
"Die!"
Li Xin's cold eyes flashed. The Black Scaled Wolf King's speed was as slow as a turtle's in front of him. The two battle swords flew like scissors, severing its neck just as the Black Scaled Wolf began to leap.
Its body continued to fly due to inertia, blood gushing from its neck, but its head had already fallen to the ground.
"Not bad, not bad. Using mental power to kill monsters is much more efficient than hacking them down one by one with my battle sword!"
After killing all the Black Scaled Wolves and absorbing all their energy, he immediately left the area.
After finding a quiet and secluded place nearby, he calmed down and carefully experienced the power he had gained after his Awakening.
First, his strength had surged. He felt that his Physical Body had at least reached the mid-Rank God of War level.
Then, his senses became much sharper. The omnidirectional, dead-angle-free mental power detection made it almost impossible for him to be ambushed.
"It's hard to say exactly how strong mental power is, but normally, mental power is two Ranks stronger than genetic energy, which means it's equivalent to an elementary God of War!"
In Li Xin's Sea of Consciousness, there was a black metallic solid, which was the symbol of condensed mental power.
This indicated that the potential of his mental power had not yet been exhausted. When his genetic energy increased, this solid would release mental power, allowing his mental power to rise to two minor Ranks higher than his Physical Body.
"I'll rest here for the night and try out how strong my abilities are tomorrow."
Today, due to the Awakening, he was physically and mentally exhausted and really didn't want to continue hunting monsters.
However, while Li Xin didn't want to hunt, there were people who wanted to hunt him.
"Vehicle found. It should be the target's vehicle. He should be not far from here."
"Footprints are to the east. Let's go, we'll continue tracking."
Around Li Xin's off-road vehicle, there were five men gathered. Among these five, four were elementary God of War, and one was a mid-Rank God of War.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I really didn't expect the Liu Family to pay such a high price to hire our Black Bull Squad, just to kill a guy who's only been a Martial Artist for less than a month."
"There's nothing we can do. The Liu Family and the Li Family are enemies, and this kid's talent is very terrifying. Once he grows up, the Liu Family won't have good days, and they might even be wiped out."
"Most importantly, I heard this kid was recruited by the Dojo of Limits, and even the Dojo Master came forward, but for some reason, he didn't go to the Limit Martial Arts Dojo Headquarters, which gave the Liu Family an opportunity."
"Hehe, it's only because our Black Bull mercenary squad is bold. Otherwise, no one else would dare to take such a job."
"..."
Although these five men were chatting and laughing, their actions were not slow at all. Following the clues left on the ground, they quickly found Li Xin's location.
"I didn't expect the Liu Family to hire people to kill me!"
What those five mercenaries didn't expect was that Li Xin had already discovered them when they approached. Their every move was within the scope of Li Xin's mental power.
The Liu Family had also considered the possibility that the Li Family might send people to secretly protect Li Xin, which was why they paid a hefty price to hire five God of War-Rank mercenaries to kill Li Xin.
If the Liu Family hadn't clearly known that Li Xin's father, Li Houzhong, was not with Li Xin, the strength of the mercenaries would probably have to be increased further.
"Wait, don't you think it's too quiet here?"
The mercenary captain, Yi Baixuan, suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, then immediately became vigilant.
"Captain, now that you mention it, I've noticed too. There's not even a single beast roar or insect chirp to be heard nearby!"
The other four mercenaries were not rookies either and immediately noticed something was wrong.
"Are you here for me?"
Li Xin didn't continue hiding but stood out openly.
"Captain, it's really him!"
After Li Xin stepped out, one of the mercenaries looked at Li Xin in front of him and then took out a photo to compare before confirming it.
