Chapter 72: The Invitation
"Go"
Zhao Jun commanded, and with a swoosh, the wooden stick turned into a dark shadow, stopping right at Wang Yu’s throat.
It was still the same wooden stick, but the tip had been sharpened to a deadly point, becoming a weapon.
"Using remote control to deal with enemies is not about having bigger and heavier things; sometimes, making a few small changes can lead to a deadly effect."
"The same goes for defense. While I can create small shields with my ability, wearing a bulletproof vest is much more reliable."
After saying this, Zhao Jun clapped his hands together, and suddenly, the space in front of him became blurry, with something transparent beginning to appear.
"This is interesting. If there’s a shield with abilities, there must also be things like powerful blasts," Wang Yu said, suddenly excited as if he had a thought.
"Are you talking about a psychic shockwave? Every psychic can do that. But if you’re not prepared, it won’t have much effect. However, if you want to learn, I can teach you," Zhao Jun replied after thinking for a moment.
"Thank you, Brother Zhao," Wang Yu said, his heart filled with joy upon hearing this.
After he returned to Blue Star, without his strong body and magical tools, he naturally felt less secure.
Now, if he could further develop his Metal Sensing Technique, that would be a good choice.
Just then, Zhao Jun slapped the psychic shield in front of him with one hand.
The transparent shield shattered instantly, but the surrounding space vibrated with an invisible wave, as if something else had emerged.
"I have set up a thought barrier that can block sound, so when you and I talk, no one can listen in. Classmate Ding, I want to ask you something. When you arrived at the game pod last night, were you playing Star River Game? Did you get past the beginner level and achieve excellence to enter the hidden training area?" Zhao Jun suddenly lowered his voice, asking with a mysterious expression.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the wooden spike began to circle around Wang Yu’s body. From a distance, it looked like it was showing Wang Yu how to use his powers.
"Brother Zhao, how did you know? Are you…" Wang Yu was surprised at this situation.
"You really did pass the test and were specially recruited by the Blue Star Alliance to learn the method of cultivating Astral Power," Zhao Jun said with a strange look, then showed one wrist, while his other hand gripped that arm.
After a moment, a semi-transparent watch appeared on his wrist, with the same countdown numbers moving.
Wang Yu’s pupils shrank, pointing at the person’s wrist and asking urgently, "How did you do this?"
"It’s simple. I just transformed Mental Power into Astral Power, and then I could recreate this item."
"This item doesn’t truly exist; it’s a solid form of Astral Power. Unless you’re in Star River Game, ordinary people can’t see it," Zhao Jun replied with a light laugh.
"Is Mental Power and Astral Power the same thing?" Wang Yu asked back.
"Of course, they are not the same thing. Although I have only been practicing Astral Power for half a month, I have already found that all my Mental Power can be turned into Astral Power, but Astral Power cannot be completely turned back into Mental Power."
The two are more like a basket and a warehouse; you can take things from the basket whenever you want, and when you use them up, you can go to the warehouse to refill, but you cannot fit everything from the warehouse into the basket.
"In my and a few friends’ judgment, Astral Power is more like a super-compressed form of mental energy, though it also contains some unknown elements," Zhao Jun said, partly reasoning and partly guessing.
"Friends? Does Brother Zhao know other Mecha Masters called by the game?" Wang Yu nodded thoughtfully at first, then asked with some curiosity.
"Of course, although there aren’t many mental ability users in Hua Country, most are concentrated in a few bases.
You must have noticed that we mental ability users are almost all natural Mecha Masters; as long as our ability level reaches D-class, most of us were called in hidden game scenes and learned Astral Power.
This Star River Game is clearly not a real game. The few of us have already come up with several reliable guesses about the Blue Star Alliance, Mecha Masters, Astral Power, and even military service ten years from now. If you want to know, I can bring you along next time we gather," Zhao Jun replied seriously.
"Okay, as long as we don’t leave the base, I will definitely join the next gathering," Wang Yu replied decisively.
"Haha, great! I knew Brother Ding could come back alive from another world. He must be special and understand the benefits of sticking together. Now, let me teach you some of the most useful tricks for using your superpowers."
Hearing this, Zhao Jun was overjoyed. He clapped his hands again, and after a ripple in the air around him, everything around disappeared.
"Brother Zhao, do you know how to contact the smart brain Taiyuan? I want to look up some things," Wang Yu took this chance to ask another question.
"Taiyuan is the precious gem of the whole base. You can contact it through a special webpage on the base network, but Taiyuan has the highest level of access rights. Without permission, even if you log in, it won’t pay attention to you," Zhao Jun replied, a bit surprised, but still told him.
"Could you tell me the address of that webpage?" Wang Yu asked, excited to hear this.
After nodding, Zhao Jun shared a webpage address.
In the afternoon.
In another room filled with mud and sand.
A group of young men, around twenty years old and strong, mirrored the small virtual figures projected in front of them, all lying on the ground in a strange pose.
The official Wolf Running Picture, style one.
This group of people truly deserves to be selected as the elite of the base. Even though they are all red-faced and sweating, they can still perform the movements almost perfectly.
Wang Yu walked past them one by one, occasionally making small adjustments to their movements to ensure they fully met the standards.
One hour later.
In another, larger room filled with flowers and plants.
A group of boys and girls, around ten years old, sat cross-legged in two rows, with more than ten in each row.
One row of people had their eyes wide open, staring intently at the strange symbols and patterns on the drawing board, but they were scratching their heads in confusion.
The other row, on the other hand, was quietly meditating with their eyes closed.
Wang Yu walked past this row of boys and girls, constantly repeating the words that Qingfeng had said that day.
"…Spiritual Sensing is the touch of the spirit, and the spirit is the source of Spiritual Sensing. When these two unite, they create divine sense. Spiritual Sensing is divine sense, and divine sense is also a form of active awareness; it can be activated or drained. A cultivator, as long as they use divine sense to touch the surrounding emptiness, can sense the presence of Spirit Qi in the world. To do this, do not think about other distracting matters; just imagine yourself in a void space and carefully sense if there is anything around… Didn’t sense anything? If it doesn’t work the first time, keep trying…"
