Chapter 233: Supreme Sovereign of Profound Darkness

Byeol had always been very careful when playing around with Joo Joowon. It had been a long time since he had left a wound on Joo Joowon, let alone such a deep wound. Therefore, he inevitably felt somewhat guilty and uneasy now, carefully licking him.

Joo Joowon held him and lay back down again. He did not know whether several dozen minutes or several hours had passed since he had fallen asleep. He only knew that, in his current condition, doing nothing was the best choice.

He did not sleep either. While stroking Byeol’s fur and allowing him to lick him, he slowly sorted out his Mental Power, "arranging" it into a state that was more resilient and relaxed.

Being overly cautious all the time could sometimes end up leaving an opening for the enemy to invade.

He remembered the name given by the system.

The Supreme Sovereign of Profound Darkness.

It was obviously sounds like the name of an evil god.

Joo Joowon closed his eyes, his palm sinking into the soft, warm fur.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Joo Joowon ignored it completely. He was not curious enough to knowingly listen to something dangerous.

As long as the darkness remained, the whispers would not disappear. Since that was the case, all he needed to do was ignore them.

His extraordinary willpower and his ability to control his own body were enough to allow him to accomplish this.

After bringing his Mental Power slightly more under control, Joo Joowon let Byeol continue sleeping. He himself sat down at the table nearby, took out the skill book, and began flipping through it under the light of the electronic candle.

He needed more ways to control his Mental Power.

This was something he could not figure out simply by experimenting on his own.

Moreover, while reading the book, his Mental Power itself would be in a state of being consumed and trained. By the time he finished reading the book, the newly added Mental Power would have almost completely integrated into his existing Mental Power.

Joo Joowon patiently and repeatedly read through the skill book.

How to twist Mental Power into a single strand and release it outward, how to reduce the presence of Mental Power, from which direction to invade an enemy’s body so that it would be harder to detect.

Mental Power was gradually analyzed within the book, with its secrets slowly unraveled and displayed before Joo Joowon. Before his Mental Power was almost completely depleted, Joo Joowon finally closed the skill book.

He glanced at the Mental Recovery Potion but did not use it again. Instead, with the constant buzzing sound continuing in the background, he kept consuming and digesting the knowledge he had gained from the skill book.

He did not pay attention to the Vitality Harvest skill. His attention remained focused entirely on the analysis of Mental Power within the book. The formless and intangible Mental Power began to become clearer at this moment.

Joo Joowon’s gaze shifted toward the table, and the electronic candle on top of it slowly floated into the air.

A sharp pain came from his brain, but Joo Joowon smiled.

Mental Power could interfere with physical matter.

He had done it.

He withdrew his Mental Power, and the electronic candle went plop onto the tabletop and rolled around. Joo Joowon steadied the candle, and only then did he finally have the time to begin thinking.

Although Vitality Harvest primarily relied on Mental Power, its use of Quanta Energy was extremely slight. Yet that tiny amount of Quanta Energy was the foundation that allowed everything else to be activated. Simply put, it was the source of the supernatural.

Therefore, without Quanta Energy, no matter how high one’s Mental Power was, the Vitality Harvest skill could not be used.

However, where could Quanta Energy be found?

People could not discover things in fields they had never come into contact with before. Joo Joowon lowered his eyes and looked at the skill book. All the knowledge about Mental Power written inside it had already been memorized by him, even if he could not currently put all of it into practice. Therefore, theoretically speaking, he could directly learn this skill through the game.

The only disadvantage of doing this was that he would no longer be able to train his Mental Power through reading.

Should he do it?

Considering the current situation, it seemed that directly learning the skill would be better. Compared with the time it would take to teach himself, using the skill book immediately would greatly increase his safety.

Joo Joowon thought about it for a moment and decided to learn it. Mental Power could be trained through many different methods. After all, he could now use Mental Power to control objects, so he could completely train his Mental Power by moving objects around. The skill book’s unique advantage was no longer quite as irreplaceable.

Just as he was thinking this, Joo Joowon put the book back down.

His Mental Power was too low right now, so learning the skill might take even more time. It would be better to wait until his Mental Power recovered somewhat before making a decision.

Joo Joowon planned to return to the bed and rest, but his foot suddenly kicked into a large lump of something.

His eyebrow twitched slightly. With the small amount of Mental Power he had left, he sensed the enormous cat loaf lying in front of him.

This was not the size of a small dog. It was as enormous as a tiger.

What prey had Hwi dreamed about for him to suddenly become this big?

The thought had barely appeared when Joo Joowon’s expression changed.

It was the whispers!

Because Byeol had not shown any abnormal signs earlier, Joo Joowon had assumed that the two cats’ Mental Power was not high enough for the whispers to affect them at all. However, the situation had clearly changed now.

But what could he do at this point?
