What met his gaze was a magnificent and towering palace, brilliant in gold and jade.

Wave after wave of guards, dressed in classical knight armor, waving their long spears and giant swords, roared and charged at him.

“Power of the Tiger!”

Su Lu’s right hand spread open, clenching fiercely.

Roar!

As if a real tiger had leapt out of the void, its claws tore apart in conjunction with the overbearing spirit oppression like the might of a tiger, instantly causing the knights to tumble and fall in disorder.

“Kill!

“Resist the intruder!”

If it were ordinary people, or even trained soldiers, faced with such a situation, they would undoubtedly be terrified and dare not move forward.

But these people were different!

The reinforcements arrived—the fully armored knights, upon seeing this scene, didn’t hesitate at all. They howled and fearlessly joined the fray.

“Move!”

Su Lu glanced briefly, not bothering to linger. With a stomp of his right foot, his body shot out of the encirclement like a cannonball, heading straight to the depths of the palace.

The further in he went, the more guards there were, and the stronger they became.

There was also an oppressive force falling on Su Lu.

His brows didn’t wrinkle, his spiritual power surged out quickly: “Spirit Thorn!” Thud, thud!

Opposite him, two golden knights instantly bled from all seven orifices and fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he threw a punch to blast open the opponent’s gate and entered.

Under the pink curtain was a large soft bed, covered with velvet and silk cotton. One would almost sink into it when lying on it.

Apart from that, the room was decorated with a childlike and innocent atmosphere, mostly tinted in pink, and adorned with many dolls.

The luxurious dressing table was filled with a plethora of gemstones and precious jewelry.

It looked just like the boudoir of a princess.

Su Lu took a deep breath, looking at the figure hiding behind a life-size doll.

The figure was dressed in a beautiful and exquisite princess dress, dolled up like a life-size ragdoll. Though she seemed to be middle-aged and average in appearance.

She stared at Su Lu nervously: “What…what are you doing?”

‘A grown-up still having princess fantasies, she’s sick!’ Su Lu rolled his eyes, asking: “Who are you?”

“Feya!”

“Profession?”

“Cleaner at the inner circle of Green Tree Castle.”

In the series of questions, she answered everything without reservation.

A hint of joy finally appeared on Su Lu’s face: “Indeed… People find it hardest to lie to themselves. After breaking through the subconscious defenses, she confessed everything…”

After asking a few more questions, Su Lu looked at Aunt Feya with some difficulty: “The next steps are tough… After all, I’m not an evil spirit. I can’t manipulate memories, or in other words… My methods are too crude. If I act rashly, it might leave some aftereffects, or get exposed.”

Listening to the clanging sound of armored footsteps from behind, Su Lu shook his head regretfully and his spiritual body leaped.

In an instant, he had arrived in the Mind Realm!

It turned out… everything that just happened was merely the mental manifestation of another person.

And Su Lu was simply infiltrating it, experiencing the unpredictable changes of the Mind Realm.

“Not just humans, as long as they are intelligent life capable of thinking, their minds will connect with the Mind Realm… falling in the sea of the subconscious, forming islands, or Secret Realms, that can be explored!”

“Of course, there are also differences in these Secret Realms. For instance, Transcendent, especially the casting type, have much higher defenses than ordinary people

At this moment, Su Lu naturally would not dare to test the Transcendent, so he turned his attention to the ordinary people in the inner circle.

After all, even an [Arcanist] needs a large number of ordinary people for their everyday needs!

“After exploring part of the Secret Realms, I can basically confirm… There are still distance rules in the Mind Realm, at least these Mind Realms that are close to me all belong to people in the inner circle!”

As for Bicui from last time, that was completely an exception, and there was also the influence of the master-servant contract ritual.

Moreover, Su Lu found out to his annoyance that she somehow managed to block him again. He couldn’t even locate the entrance to that Secret Realm, even from the Mind Realm.

“In the Mind Realm, every person’s mind is a Secret Realm, inherently suppressing outsiders! If it’s a Transcendent, it would be even stronger. This is a kind of automatic defense mechanism.”

Su Lu carefully savored the feelings he had just now: “In addition to that, every person’s ‘defense mechanism’ is different, seemingly related to their personality. For instance, the palace defense type, as long as you break the defense and find the ‘Emperor’ or ‘Princess’ at the center, you can get to their subconscious core, and you can read their memories. Though not entirely at my disposal, I can exert a great influence… It’s a pity, my techniques are too crude still. Perhaps after advancing to [Odd Technician], there might be a change.”

Currently, Su Lu has discovered three types of Secret Realm defense systems.

The first is the palace and guard type, the second is when there is only one monster—defeating it allows one to do as they please. Such people in reality seem to be extremely aggressive, or rather, their brain function in simple ways.

As for the last one, it belongs to the type of intricate minds. The Secret Realm defense system is a huge trap-filled maze, where only finding the real body of the person will one be able to influence them.

“Proprietor type, Monster type, Maze type, or perhaps even Hybrid type… These are the most common mental Secret Realm defense modes found in ordinary people. The key is to break through the defense, find the core. The subconscious will not lie and can be influenced… So, this is the meaning of the

‘odd techniques’ of the [Odd Technician)? Targeting people’s minds?”

Su Lu suddenly thought of a movie from his previous life called “Inception”, feeling that the offense and defense in the Mind Realm were somewhat similar.

“In general, there are many secrets in the Mind Realm and it seems not something the [Mysterious Scholar] should be exploring.”

Actually, to upgrade the soul trance skill to LV4, and to touch the second layer of the Sprit World, it’s very hard, extremely hard!

If it weren’t for Su Lu’s direct use of experience points, he didn’t know how many years he would be stuck here.

But once he broke through, the rewards were not small.

At least, ordinary people seemed to have no secrets in his eyes. Even the first order Transcendent might not be beyond his attempts!

“However, [Mystical Scholar] can at most read memories and influence with words, like the evil spirits seamlessly altering memories, or directly killing the Transcendent from the Mind Realm, this should be within the capabilities of

[Odd Technician] or even [Dream Master].”

Su Lu’s spiritual body returned, he stood up, stretched lazily and walked out of the dorm.

“Good day, Mr. Su Lu!”

On the side, a woman was busy tending the flower bed and promptly bowed in respect.

“You’re Feya, right?”

Normally, Su Lu would, at most, give a polite nod, but today, he slowed down and asked.

‘Yes.”

Aunt Feya paused her work in confusion; she did not remember telling him her name.

“Keep up the good work!”

Thinking of her subconscious setting, clear signs of a young girl with delusions of grandeur, Su Lu could only sigh that reality often surpasses fiction in its strangeness, and left..
