Chapter 1487: Psychology

Deng Shentong smiled slightly, "But if you knew his name, I don't think you would be so calm."

"Oh? Then tell me, who is he?"

Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Deng Shentong said: "That man's name is Wang Shouren! Everyone calls him Wang Yangming."

Upon hearing this name, Zhang Yi's eyes did become more serious.

Among the people of Huaxu country, almost everyone with a certain level of education knows Wang Yangming.

He was the founder of the School of Mind, and was considered by a master a hundred years ago to be one of the two and a half saints in the history of Huaxu State.

Because he accomplished the three great achievements of establishing virtue, establishing merit, and establishing words in his life, he is highly respected by countless people.

"You mean to say that Wang Yangming was the extraordinary person back then?"

Deng Shentong said calmly: "There is a clear record in the history books. Wang Yangming realized the truth in Longchang that year. In the middle of the night, he suddenly realized that the heart is the root of all things. He also proposed that 'the way of the sage is that my nature is self-sufficient, and those who seek the truth from things are mistaken.'"

"Then his mind became clear and he felt refreshed. He let out a long howl, which spread for dozens of miles and lasted for half an hour!"

"Many people used to suspect such visions were fabricated. But now it seems that he had broken through his state of mind and became an extraordinary person."

Deng Shentong pointed to the page of paper.

"This is the best proof!"

Zhang Yi can feel the breath of time on the paper, and this is not fake.

"Wang Yangming..."

Zhang Yi became curious.

"So what if those outstanding figures in history are extraordinary people? I don't think this is a big deal. So, what do you want to tell me?"

Deng Shentong pointed to the page of paper.

"Can you understand the words on it?"

Of course Zhang Yi can understand it. If he can’t understand it, the intelligent system can translate it.

The data flooded into his mind and he analyzed it carefully.

"The content of this chapter comes from Wang Shouren's "Xinxue", which records that one should seek within oneself so as to achieve a state of inner enlightenment and not be stuck in the outside world."

"Different from the widely circulated version of Xinxue, this seems to be a completely new version."

Zhang Yi seemed to have grasped something, but not completely.

"What does that mean?"

He looked at Deng Shentong, waiting for him to give an explanation.

Deng Shentong just said at this time: "Deng's Technology has conducted a lot of research on aliens, alien beasts, and mutated flowers, plants and trees in the past two and a half years."

"We discovered that the source of superpowers may be from the inside out. It is born within the organism itself. To be more precise, most of it comes from the human body."

He put his hands in front of him and said with a deep look in his eyes: "Now, we have basically confirmed this. And we have mastered certain means to achieve rapid growth of aliens by concentrating power."

Zhang Yi stared at him. "Take the power from the aliens or beasts, and then concentrate it on a certain individual. Is that right?"

This seems to be of the same nature as killing aliens and seizing the origin.

Deng Shentong smiled and said, "That's true. But our approach is more efficient! But that's not the point. Currently, the conversion rate of this approach is not high. To train a top-notch alien, the prerequisite is to sacrifice two-digit or even three-digit aliens, which is not cost-effective."

Zhang Yi crossed his legs and said, "So, what does this have to do with Wang Yangming's "The Study of the Mind"?"

Deng Shentong said: "We have been persistently conducting research on supernatural powers, including investigating possible supernatural people and materials that may have existed in history."

"The most recent and most clearly recorded extraordinary person in historical records is Wang Yangming."

"Moreover, he is also the only person who organized supernatural powers into a theory."

"The study of the mind is about gaining inner strength, which allows one to become more transparent and enter an extraordinary state."

Deng Shentong spread his hands.

"Wang Yangming believed that this was a realm that everyone could reach. However, in reality, this was not the case. So although the 'Xinxue' is famous, to this day, few people can truly reach his level."

Zhang Yi said, "You mean to say that 'Xinxue' is the understanding of supernatural powers by extraordinary people six hundred years ago. It is also a theoretical guide for cultivation?"

The so-called cultivation refers to developing one's own potential.

So far, humans have not discovered any means of increasing the strength of their superpowers except by devouring others.

But everyone has enormous potential. If it can be developed, it will unlock a huge treasure just like mining.

This can also greatly enhance the strength of an alien.

Deng Shentong nodded.

"Yes, that's what I think."

There was a gleam of something strange in Zhang Yi's eyes.

"But this book is not in your hands now."

He saw through Deng Shentong's thoughts at a glance.

"And now it's in a very troublesome place, and you don't have the ability to get it yourself, so you came to me for help. Am I right?"

Deng Shentong smiled and clapped his hands.

"As expected of the famous Chaos! He is so amazing. He guessed what I wanted to say right away!"

Zhang Yi chuckled and thought: It is true.

"What makes you think I will help you?"

"First of all, the story you told is indeed very interesting, but there is no evidence to prove that Wang Yangming's "The Study of the Mind" is worth my investment."

"Secondly, if you want me to take action, it must be at least an S-level mission. Let me take risks? This is not the first day you have known me!"

Deng Shentong's eyes lit up.

Although Zhang Yi's words seemed like a rejection, they were actually giving him a chance, because Zhang Yi was carefully weighing the pros and cons.

"I have full confidence in the ability of Xinxue! Zhang Yi, take a look at this."

He stretched out his arms in front of Zhang Yi.

Then a powerful supernatural power condensed in his palm and turned into a ball of light as bright as a pearl.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi said with some surprise: "Your strength has become stronger again!"

The last time we met was nearly a year ago, when we were in Qinling Mountains. At that time, Deng Shentong's supernatural power index was only 9500 points.

But now, it has reached a level of around 9900 points!

Such a huge improvement in just one year is definitely a huge leap forward!

But Zhang Yi still took a deep look at Deng Shentong.

"Just relying on this fragment of the "Xinxue"? Do you think I will believe such nonsense?"

Deng Shentong withdrew his strength and shook his head.

"Not on this."

"It was a woman. She only came into contact with the original version of the Psychology once, and she gained extremely special power. That is much more terrifying than my current improvement. It can be called a miracle!"

"Zhang Yi, a person who can be called a saint cannot be measured by common sense!"
