Chapter 588 - 287: Mind Guidance
The spiritual force field generated by telekinesis makes one feel oppressed and uncomfortable. Qiu Yexuan tried to suppress her urge to frown while carefully watching the nearly equally matched spiritual force fields on the screen. The blue one belonged to Su Jiameng, while the red-marked one was Zhu Mengtong’s.
The two similar yet entangled telekinetic forces gradually formed a small vortex at their intersection. Her spirits lifted, thinking this was the mind storm that Su Jiameng had mentioned before. She zoomed in on the screen and discovered that the density of this vortex was dozens of times richer than the surrounding spiritual force, which for any creature with spiritual power, was simply a disaster!
She wanted to analyze the waves of this telekinesis in detail, but due to the limitations of the instruments, this idea had to be shelved.
Qiu Yexuan had underestimated the strength of telekinesis. The vortex-like mind storm was growing larger like a torn hole, and its density was still soaring! Originally just the size of a palm, it now completely enveloped both Su Jiameng and Zhu Mengtong.
"The rate at which it’s growing is terrifying. At this rate, it might fill the entire room..." Qiu Yexuan gasped. She knew very well that she wouldn’t survive a mind storm. If she didn’t leave soon, her memorial date would be this time next year. Therefore, she bit her lip, copied the detected data, and quickly exited.
Zhu Mengtong’s telekinetic intensity exceeded Su Jiameng’s expectations, but fortunately, it was still within a controllable range. Guiding telekinesis wasn’t difficult, but it required meticulousness and time-consuming effort. A single mistake could injure both of them.
Compared to Su Jiameng’s somewhat violent and bloody telekinetic aura, Zhu Mengtong’s was much purer and less wild. As long as Su Jiameng’s telekinetic force remained stronger than the other, there was no worry of losing control or failing in guidance.
The specially designed room proved useful. At least, after Qiu Yexuan left, the oppressive feeling brought on by the telekinesis significantly eased. It felt as though a huge stone pressing on her chest was finally lifted. She let out a long sigh of relief, then realized something and looked pained. The spiritual forces clashing inside the room were so strong that the instruments were probably destroyed... How could she not feel distressed?
Fortunately, the data from this research was already at hand. She put the copied files into her personal smart brain and started organizing it in the most primitive way, satisfying her keen interest in telekinesis research. Qiu Yexuan thought that the guidance should have been completed in a short time, but after two days, the tightly shut door still showed no signs of opening. She couldn’t help but wonder if something had gone wrong.
Just as Qiu Yexuan was racking her brain with various guesses, Zhu Mengtong slowly opened her eyes, clenched her fist, her expression carrying an extremely complex emotion. After a long while, she murmured, "Is this... the benefit brought by telekinesis?"
Although her physical ability didn’t grow, her spiritual power was beyond comparison. She vaguely felt that her spiritual power had surpassed the so-called 3S Limit, although she wasn’t quite sure at which level. The constant feeling of weakness that used to follow her had completely vanished, and her mind was clearer than ever, with her body returning to its best state... no, even better than her previous peak!
"There is always a trade-off. In today’s society, the existence of telekinesis is an anomaly. If you don’t want to attract mortal danger or implicate friends and family, it’s best to conceal it. This secret is known only by you, me, plus Qiu Yexuan, no need for a fourth person to know, not even your husband Liu Shiyi. It’s best to maintain a level of secrecy..."
Zhu Mengtong furrowed her brow at Su Jiameng’s last sentence but didn’t voice any objections.
She understood Liu Shiyi’s temperament. Even if she told him about the existence of telekinesis, his first reaction would likely be joy that she had escaped the shadow of death rather than thinking of reporting the secret to the authorities. However... these secrets concerned not only herself but also Su Jiameng and her two children. If she told her husband, it might cause unnecessary variables.
"I know this well. I’m just curious how you know this secret. Telekinesis... when you were guiding me before, I felt it. The secret of it can probably only be experienced by someone who is also a telepath."
Zhu Mengtong earnestly asked again, "You guided me, so... who guided you?"
"Naturally, it was my grandfather and my instructor... But these things are long gone, and I don’t want to mention them again. No matter how much you ask, my answer will remain the same. Now we are all in the same boat, whether for my sake or your own, keeping the secret is the most important thing." Su Jiameng finished speaking and silently stood up.
Zhu Mengtong furrowed her brow. Before Qiu Yexuan had pulled her onto the ship with one secret, and now Su Jiameng had lured her onto another ... covering her face, wasn’t she once a former high-ranking Alliance officer? At least consider her feelings a little!
"I have completed the detailed application methods and stored them in the smart brain’s mailbox. They will be sent to you periodically, remember to receive them." The initial guidance of telekinesis requires the intervention of a senior, but the further cultivation depends entirely on the individual.
"Can telekinesis... be trained and increased like spiritual power?" Zhu Mengtong asked a question she was very interested in.
"Before Telepath Level Five, advancement is not difficult. With enough talent, after gradual accumulation, things naturally progress. However, beyond Level Five, it’s not that simple. Each advancement represents an extremely painful experience."
Su Jiameng briefly explained, "Before Level Five, you can use external stimuli. However, beyond that, it depends on oneself. The more painful the experiences one undergoes, the greater the impact on spiritual power and the faster the growth rate..."
Zhu Mengtong twitched her mouth; this method of advancement was too bizarre! Is spiritual growth triggered by pain?
"What level are you now?" she asked impulsively. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
