Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 899 Mental Power

Zhou Xu originally thought that he would be able to calm down quickly after the excitement, after all, this was his usual personality.

But he soon discovered that he was totally unable to calm down and was extremely excited.

He didn't want to do morning exercises or anything else. He just opened his attribute panel and looked at the four words "supernormal life". He was so happy.

Fortunately, after being happy for nearly twenty minutes, he managed to have breakfast, and then walked briskly to work in the Qinzheng Hall happily.

Since he woke up half an hour earlier today and didn't do morning exercises, he was the first one to arrive.

After a period of time, Zhou Xu's emotions finally calmed down a little. He slowly got into work mode and soon found that he was in excellent condition.

Looking at the documents in front of me, my mind becomes extremely clear, and my processing efficiency is also greatly improved.

He knew that this was the result of the further improvement of his spiritual attributes.

Long before, when his spirit star level was raised to four stars and five stars, there were similar effects, but the improvement was not as obvious as it is now.

The higher the spiritual star level of a person, the clearer their mind is when they need to think, so they tend to be very efficient in processing these documents.

After becoming an extraordinary life, the first star that symbolized his spiritual star level was lit in bronze.

This undoubtedly verified Zhou Xu's previous guess, that is, as long as one reaches a certain level in studying and practicing the mantra, one can also achieve a breakthrough.

However, due to the different methods of cultivation, the names of the realms after the breakthrough are also different.

At this stage, warriors like Jie Liancheng are called the Hundred Refinements Realm. According to Zhou Xu's understanding, it should mean that they have been tempered a hundred times, which is also in line with the strength of that realm.

And a magician like him displays a transcendent state.

For Zhou Xu, the word "supernormal" is undoubtedly easier to understand, especially under the premise that their human race is still "mortal", it can be simply understood as transcending the level of mortals.

In the midsummer, due to the hot weather, everyone's work efficiency has decreased, but the workload has not decreased at all.

Lately I’ve been busy almost every day until 11 o’clock for lunch, and I still may not finish my work.

But today, because of Zhou Xu's extraordinary performance after his realm breakthrough, he managed to finish the morning's work half an hour ahead of schedule, which made Huo Qubing and Li Bowen couldn't help but look at him in surprise.

"Done!"

While speaking, Zhou Xu stretched hard.

After sitting for a whole morning, his body was already stiff and he groaned in pain.

Just as he was about to stretch his muscles, a personal soldier ran in quickly.

"Your Majesty, Corporal John has returned, and he has brought the Wood Elf leader Locke with him."

John had sent a carrier pigeon to tell him that the Wood Elf Chief Locke was coming to Xianyang City when he was in Green Forest City, so he had known about it and approved it.

The temperature has begun to rise gradually and we are entering the hottest time of the day.

Zhou Xu really didn't want to deal with serious work at this time; it was too tiring.

But Locke obviously couldn't wait any longer, and considering the other party's identity, Zhou Xu couldn't leave him alone...

"Take them to the side hall, and ask someone to bring some iced bayberry soup."

After giving simple instructions, Zhou Xu went to the side hall and sat down first.

Locke and his group came very quickly, and their steps sounded quite hurried.

"Locke has met the Emperor!"

"No need to be polite, Chief. You must be tired after such a long journey. Sit down and rest first."

From the perspective of identity, Locke is not his subordinate or citizen, but an ally of their Great Zhou. He still needs to be polite to him at this moment.

While Zhou Xu was speaking, the maid beside him had already brought the freshly prepared iced bayberry soup.

"This iced bayberry soup is a new drink we just developed this summer. Patriarch may want to try it."

Locke's mind was now full of the giant eagle, and he wanted to decline politely, but the cool breath emanating from the iced bayberry soup made him swallow back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue, and at the same time he became curious about it.

"Your Majesty, where did you get this ice in such a hot season?"

In response to Locke's question, Zhou Xu gave an answer with a smile.

"Just store the ice in the winter and use it in the summer." "..."

However, to Locke, Zhou Xu's explanation was worse than no explanation. He became even more confused after listening to it.

Zhou Xu had no interest in giving Locke a science lecture, so he just casually passed on the topic.

"Chief, please try it first."

In response, Locke didn't hesitate and took a big bite.

At that moment, Locke felt relaxed all over. For a moment, he was so amazed by the iced bayberry soup that he was speechless.

This bayberry was discovered in Liang State. As early as last year when it was discovered, Zhou Xu ordered people to transplant it to the New South District. At the same time, a lot of it was also sent to Black Moon City and Plain Farm.

Nowadays, the cold, sour and sweet bayberry soup has become an excellent way to relieve summer heat here. Many restaurants have also started to offer it, and the price is not low, but it is not as cheap as the herbal tea.

Here, the bayberry itself is not expensive, but the ice is expensive.

In this era, not everyone can afford ice, and there is not that much of it at the moment, which is why the price is so high.

But the sales volume was not bad at all, which made Zhou Xu sigh that the consumption level of the people in their Great Zhou had really improved.

At this moment, Locke felt that the heat and fatigue along the way were instantly swept away, and he felt relaxed all over.

Not until he finished drinking up all the iced bayberry soup did he come to his senses. Looking at Zhou Xu, who was smiling without saying a word, his old face slightly blushed.

"Ahem. I lost my composure."

"It's okay, Chief, please feel free to do as you please. I don't have so many rules here."

As he spoke, Zhou Xu quickly got to the point.

"I know the purpose of the clan leader's visit, but the weather is hot right now, so why don't we rest in this hall for a while and chat. It won't be too late to go out again when it's cooler."

Zhou Xu had said so much, and although Locke was anxious, he couldn't refuse.

"Then it is as your majesty wishes."

"Corporal John should have told you about the situation on my side. I wonder if the clan leader has any clues?"

When this matter was mentioned, Locke suddenly became excited as if he remembered something.

"I have already learned about this."

As he spoke, Locke explained things to Zhou Xu again.

Locke's words immediately made Zhou Xu feel enlightened.

[I see, spiritual power...]

[Spiritual power is the embodiment of the strength of the soul. If spiritual power is compared to a person with bare hands, then the power of mantra is equivalent to the weapon in that person's hand.]

[Bare hands have limited combat effectiveness, but with weapons, things are different. 】

[The mantra is like the moves you perform after picking up a weapon. Different mantras correspond to different moves.]

Zhou Xu's idea can be said to be simple and clear, and he quickly sorted out the relationship here.

During this process, looking at Zhou Xu who had a blank expression and was lost in thought, Locke mistakenly thought that he was worried about breaking through the realm, so he smiled and comforted him.

"A breakthrough is not something that can be achieved in just a few years. Your Majesty should relax and let nature take its course..."

Unexpectedly, before Locke had finished speaking, Zhou Xu, who was sitting on the seat, raised his head with a confused look on his face, as if he didn't understand what the other person was saying.

After realizing what was happening, he immediately explained.

"Oh, don't worry, Patriarch. I have successfully broken through and reached the extraordinary realm. I was just thinking about other things."

"I understand, I understand. I was also like that back then..."

Locke obviously didn't listen carefully to what Zhou Xu said. He just followed the thread and said comforting words on his own. He had only said half of his words when his mind slowly came to its senses.

"what?"
