East China Sea.

Somewhere in the sea.

Ron and Nami's boat is heading towards an island.

After getting Aaron's bounty, Ron's wealth finally reached 300 million Bailey, achieving the achievement of 'Pocket Bound' and getting 2 achievement points.

With these 2 achievement points, Ron's mental power has reached 49 points, which is already only one step away from 50 points.

So Ron began to work in two ways, on the one hand, he concentrated on meditation and cultivating spiritual power, and on the other hand, he set his sights on other pirates in the East China Sea with bounties of more than 10 million.

Ron is no longer interested in the wealth and bounty of these pirates, and the reason why he is eyeing these people is because there is an achievement on the achievement screen that says 'Sweep the East Sea'.

This is achieved by killing at least five pirates with a bounty of more than 10 million.

Now that Ron has killed three pirates with bounties exceeding 10 million, he only needs to destroy two more to achieve this condition, which is a relatively easy achievement to achieve.

With the strength to be able to sweep across the East China Sea, it is not a difficult thing to search for the achievement points of the East China Sea, but it will take a little time, and it just so happens that the current Ron needs enough time to cultivate magic, which is a perfect fit.

Now.

Ron was sitting cross-legged in the stern of the boat, his eyes closed, his elven wand floating silently above his knees, glowing with light.

In Ron's spiritual world, there was nothing to be thought about, nothing to distract from, like a dead universe.

In this kind of meditation without distractions, this spiritual space is quietly expanding, albeit at an extremely slow rate, but it is actually expanding.

Ron didn't know why meditation boosted his mental strength.

He only knew that in the meditative state, his spiritual power would increase slowly and steadily, but he couldn't feel how this increase appeared, whether it was absorbed from the energy of the outside world, or whether it was an ascension caused by the change of his mind.

If it is the former, it is a bit in line with the taste of 'conservation of energy', but if it is the latter, it means that the change of the mind can give birth to energy, which means that energy can be 'created' by the mind, and the so-called mind is everything.

For this answer, Ron prefers the latter.

Although the release of magic is the condensation of runes with spiritual power, and the release of various elements from heaven and earth, it seems to be a transformation of energy rather than the birth of energy out of thin air, but the existence of runes themselves cannot be reasonably explained.

Perhaps the essence of the world is that the spirit created matter, and the so-called body, energy, and even the world are only the products of the 'creation' of the mind.

The stronger the spirit, the more Ron could vaguely feel it.

Because he can perceive that the existence of the spirit seems to be becoming more and more real, as if it has gradually become some kind of existence beyond the material, and can peek into the essence of the world.

In the midst of this constant meditation.

Bite.

An incomparably crisp voice reverberated through the depths of Ron's soul.

It was as if he had broken some kind of mental shackles, making his body suddenly lighter, and it was suspended and floated into the air.

"It's ......"

Ron's thoughts fluctuated, breaking the peace, and he looked down in some amazement, realizing that it was not himself flying, but his spirit detached from his body.

With his spirit suspended in the air, he could see his body sitting cross-legged there, and he could see the elven wand floating on his knees.

At this moment, the elven wand in Ron's eyes seemed to have changed a form, and there were dense textures on the crystal wand, which seemed to shape the truth of the world, and Ron was instantly immersed in it just by looking at it.

But before Ron could take a second look, he suddenly felt a tremor in his soul, and a sharp pain in his head appeared.

The next moment.

Ron's spirit was forcibly pulled back into his body, and he coughed violently, blood dripping from his nose.

"Ahem!"

Ron subconsciously covered his nose with one hand, and pressed the other hand on his temple, only to feel a gold star in front of him, falling on the board.

After about ten minutes, he gradually recovered, rubbed his eyebrows, and sat up slowly, only to feel that his brain was still a little swollen and painful.

Although he was still mentally shaky, Ron had a vague understanding of what was happening.

Just now, his spiritual attribute reached 50 points!

At the moment when his spiritual attribute reached 50 points, his spirit detached from his body and came to a strange perspective, and he went down to peek into the body of the elven wand and the branches of the world tree, which was equivalent to peeking into the essence and mystery of the world.

The things that involved the essence of the world were obviously far from being able to touch him now, even if it was just the branches of the World Tree, just the branches of the branches, it also caused his spirit to be hit hard in an instant, and he was directly knocked down.

"Feeling...... It's amazing......"

The world in front of Ron's eyes no longer darkened, and gradually returned to normal.

Although it was not the perspective from which the spirit was detached from the body just now, at this moment he still felt a completely different feeling from before, which cannot be described in words.

With a hint of confusion in his eyes, he slowly stood up, looked at the sea in front of him, stepped on the railing, and stepped on the sea.

Didn't fall down.

Ron was suspended in the air, suspended above the sea.

"It's ......"

As he levitated, the confusion in Ron's eyes vanished, and he looked at the sea below, revealing a hint of surprise and excitement.

It's not that the physical body has gained the ability to fly, but that his spirit seems to have become something substantial, able to directly wrap the body and levitate it in the air!

"That is to say......"

Ron took a deep breath and looked at the aft railing, his eyes flashing.

Click!

Nothing appeared, but there was a crack in the railing.

The moment he saw the crack appear, Ron finally showed a smile on his face, he couldn't be wrong, this feeling was indeed the embodiment of spiritual power!

After reaching 50 points, the spiritual attribute is no longer the illusory thing it used to be, but can form a substantial interference with matter!

"But the cost is quite large."

Ron flew back to the ship, feeling the crack in the railing.

Creating this rift caused him to lose nearly one-tenth of his spiritual power at once, you must know that even if he didn't rely on the elven wand at this moment, one-tenth of his spiritual power was enough to release an enhanced version of the first-order magic 'Multiple Wind Blade Technique'!

Thinking about it, it is also true that it is impossible to use the embodied spiritual power to forcibly condense into a point to attack, of course, it is impossible to compare to the magic released by the transformation rune and absorbing the elements.

The difference between the two is like a fist and a submachine gun.

The former is just crude usage, and the latter is a product of wisdom.

"Although it is not suitable for direct attack, at least it can get rid of the defect of inconvenience, and if it is just a simple flight, the consumption is not very large."

Ron muttered to himself, flew up again, came to the sky above the ship, and flew around the boat.

In the cabin of the boat, Nami was lying on the table and looking out the window, humming a pleasant tune in her mouth, and then she saw Ron's figure flying over the sea.

“？？？”

Nami sat up, a little dazed, and rubbed her eyes vigorously.

Looking out the window again, her eyes widened when she saw Ron's figure flying past the window again.

“？！！”
