Chapter 256 – S-Rank Control
God’s Domain Association, ntal space:
When Shi Feng stepped into the ntal space, he was greeted by the size of a spacious hall the size of a football field and a large staircase with over a hundred steps. The staircase was brightly illuminated, and every step had stone pillars of varying sizes erected.
Before Shi Feng could approach the staircase, the lights suddenly went out, and the hall was drowned in darkness.
Sure enough, it’s the sa as in the past, Shi Feng thought as he closed his eyes and focused his mind on the ntal blades that were coming at him from multiple directions. Then, he swiftly evaded these ntal blades while gradually making his way to the staircase.
The ntal space was one of the few places in the Greater World that allowed people to develop their ntal strength. However, very few people knew about this secret. Typically, only the various cities’ administrators and the God’s Domain Association’s executives would know about it.

As for most other people, they would simply treat the ntal space as a place to test their ntal strength. Hardly anyone knew about the intricacies and benefits of the ntal space.
Even Shi Feng had taken quite so ti to figure out this secret during his previous life.
The ntal space’s ntal staircase had a total of 103 steps, and one could not reach the top unless one was at the three-star ntal strength grandmaster standard. Anyone who managed to ascend to the top could beco an Elder in the God’s Domain Association and gain the right to pioneer a new continent.
When ascending the ntal staircase, one would have to face an increasing number of ntal blades the higher one climbed. More specifically, the number would gradually increase from four to one hundred and seven. In addition, the strength and agility of the ntal blades would increase with every three steps.
During his previous life, Shi Feng had only ever managed to climb to the 101st step before he abruptly reincarnated again. Now that he was no longer at his peak, he naturally couldn’t climb back to the 101st step. Even so, he could still use the ntal staircase to train his current ntal strength.
As for how he could accomplish this, it was simple. All he needed to do was concentrate his ntal strength into a barrier to continuously defend against the ntal blades.
Of course, one couldn’t develop one’s ntal strength just by blocking any random ntal blade. The ntal blade one blocked needed to be strong enough to shatter one’s ntal barrier. Moreover, the stronger the ntal blade, the better. That way, the ntal blade could shatter one’s ntal barrier more thoroughly, giving one an easier ti absorbing the residual ntal energy left behind by the ntal barrier.

However, the stronger the ntal blade one blocked, the greater the pain one would suffer. Fortunately, challengers were at no risk of dying in the ntal space as the test would be automatically stopped when they exceeded their pain tolerance. So, challengers could let the ntal blades shatter their ntal barrier without worry. As for how long a challenger could last, that would depend on their willpower.
Subsequently, Shi Feng continuously evaded the oncoming ntal blades and swiftly ascended the ntal staircase, having no intention of wasting ti on the lower steps.
The ntal space’s difficulty didn’t only increase with the number of steps a challenger had climbed. It would also increase along with ti. Simply put, the longer one spent dawdling around, the greater the difficulty one would face in ascending the ntal staircase. This prevented people from taking their sweet ti training their ntal strength in the ntal space.
If Shi Feng wished to take full advantage of the ntal space’s training properties, the best way would be to ascend the ntal staircase as quickly as possible until he reached his limit.
Fortunately, Shi Feng was already familiar with the attack patterns of the ntal space’s ntal blades. Even though he only had the physical fitness of a Henglian master right now, he reached the 60th step, a place only Henglian grandmasters and above could reach, in no ti.
However, after reaching the 67th step, despite his familiarity with the ntal blade’s attack patterns and trajectories, Shi Feng could no longer evade the overwhelming number of ntal blades that attacked him. So, he was left with no choice but to conjure ntal barriers one after another to block the oncoming ntal blades.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
As a half-step ntal strength master, the ntal barriers Shi Feng conjured were only as thick as a sheet of paper. As a result, the ntal blades instantly shattered his ntal barriers into countless fragnts and ruthlessly stabbed into his ntal sea, causing him to feel as if his body was being torn asunder. The pain was so overwhelming that Shi Feng nearly lost consciousness when the pain first hit him.
Hold on! I must hold on until I hit my gravity limit!
The consecutive instances of pain Shi Feng suffered caused him to instinctively want to retreat. However, he resisted his instincts and kept pushing himself forward.
The ntal space’s training effect would be at its best during one’s first attempt.
...
Aside from facing the ntal blades, one would also be subjected to an increasing gravity as one remained in the ntal space. anwhile, the rate at which the ntal space’s gravity increased would also increase with the number of tis one challenged the ntal space. This, in turn, would reduce one’s ntal tolerance and the ti one could spend in the ntal space.
Hence, when a person was challenging the ntal space for the first ti, they should try to challenge the strongest ntal blades they could and stay within the ntal space for as long as they could to achieve the best training effect.

One minute... Two minutes... Three minutes...
Ti passed bit by bit as Shi Feng continuously ascended the ntal staircase with gritted teeth. However, even though Shi Feng’s face was currently as pale as a sheet, the speed at which he conjured ntal barriers was getting faster and faster.
Evidently, the training offered by the ntal space was doing wonders for his ntal strength. At this point, his ntal strength was already on par with two-star ntal strength masters.
When Shi Feng climbed to the 79th step, a height only three-star ntal strength masters and above could reach, 83 ntal blades shattered all of his ntal barriers simultaneously and stabbed into his ntal sea. Before the pain could take effect, the ntal space’s test abruptly ca to an end.
It seems this is my current limit. Shi Feng clenched his teeth as he gazed at the top of the staircase that was only a short distance away from him.
Thanks to the ntal space’s training, Shi Feng’s ntal strength was now at the two-star ntal strength master standard. His perception and judgnt toward danger could already allow him to fight against bona fide one-star ntal strength masters even with his disadvantage in physical fitness.
With such a high ntal strength standard, he could already beco an official mber of the God’s Domain Association and rent a room on the 100th to 200th floor of the Association Building. Although he would need to pay 10 Star Coins per day to rent a room on these floors, it was much cheaper than the alternative of renting a room in the city. However, whether he could find an unoccupied room to rent would depend on his luck.

After taking a mont to catch his breath, Shi Feng turned around and descended the staircase.

God’s Domain Association’s first-floor lobby:
At the sa ti as Shi Feng concluded his ntal strength test, silence enveloped the entire lobby as everyone stared at the scoreboard.
At this mont, even Breeze Wine couldn’t help but rub his eyes in doubt as he looked at the scoreboard.
