It had been the right decision to hang on to the Elegant Rage for a while!
Ves managed to harvest a lot of useful gains from the Elegant Rage. The most crucial insight that he managed to obtain from his examinations of this mutated mech was the discovery that strong cognition could replace cultivation methods!
It made sense after a bit of thinking. If active cultivation was like trying to self-hypnotize oneself, possessing a very strong mindset was a superior alternative to such a clumsy and artificial method!
This was probably one of the underlying pillars of willpower cultivation. Both swordmasters and high-ranking mech pilots grew stronger not by engaging in any mysterious voodoo, but by developing an extraordinary mindset that was utterly focused and single-minded.
The stronger the ego of the willpower cultivator, the greater his or her ability to distort psychoreactive energies, thereby forcing reality to bend to their unbreakable will!
