168: The impact on the telekinetic power list begins

A day passed in a flash.

Jiang Fan had been staying in the villa's training room, concentrating on breaking through his acupoints.

Now that his three seas were open, he needed to open his primal energy acupoints in advance if he wanted to Cultivate primal energy Cultivation Technique.

There were a total of 365 primal energy acupoints in the human body.

Cultivating Earth-Grade primal energy Cultivation Technique required opening a maximum of 36 acupoints.

Cultivating Heaven-Grade primal energy Cultivation Technique required opening a maximum of 72 acupoints.

The higher the level of Cultivation Technique one wanted to Cultivate, the more primal energy acupoints needed to be opened.

Correspondingly, the greater the power of the Cultivation Technique.

After two days of continuous Cultivation, Jiang Fan had already opened 18 acupoints, barely enough to Cultivate some Earth-Grade primal energy Cultivation Technique.

However, he was not satisfied with this.

He wanted to open more acupoints in one go, so that there would not be too many restrictions when he Cultivated primal energy Cultivation Technique later.

Knock knock knock!

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Fan exited his Cultivation state and opened the door.

Che Xiaomeng stood at the door, her voice soft and sweet: “Fan Gege, are you participating in tomorrow morning's Spirit Mind Tower ranking competition?”

“Isn't it enough to just challenge the rankings by oneself? Why is it being held collectively?” Jiang Fan asked, puzzled.

“They say that there are very few Spiritual Mentors each year, and the country places great importance on the Cultivation of Mentors, so the final Spirit Mind Tower ranking challenges are held collectively,” Che Xiaomeng said seriously, blinking her big, bright eyes.

Jiang Fan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “Alright, I'll go with you tomorrow.”

He had originally planned to challenge the rankings himself these past few days.

Because in his free time these past few days, Jiang Fan had been pondering ways to deal with the Black Demon Mist.

He thought that Mental Energy attacks might be a breakthrough idea.

However, his current Mental Energy attack methods were too scarce.

It was said that many of the rewards in Spirit Mind Tower were Cultivation Technique of this type.

If he could obtain some Mental Energy attack Cultivation Technique, perhaps he would be able to handle the Black Demon Mist calmly the next time he encountered it.

“Okay! Fan Gege, pay attention to your rest. Challenging Spirit Mind Tower is very mentally exhausting!” Che Xiaomeng said with concern.

“I know, thank you!” Jiang Fan replied with a smile.

After Che Xiaomeng's reminder, Jiang Fan also felt a bit tired from not sleeping for too long, so he decided to get a good night's rest.

The next day.

The square in front of Spirit Mind Tower was packed with people.

Today was the day of the collective Spirit Mind Tower ranking challenge.

The rules of the competition were being broadcast on the large screen.

In front of the square, several elite Mentors stood in a line.

There weren't many of them: Che Xiaomeng, Jiang Fan, Qiao Han, Fang Hua, and Li Yunfei, a total of five people.

No wonder they had to arrange it collectively; otherwise, it would indeed lack a bit of competitiveness.

However, Spiritual Mentors were originally a rare profession, one in ten thousand.

Therefore, all countries attached particular importance to the Cultivation of Mentors.

This was evident from the rewards for the Training Camp competition.

The other two rankings only gave points after entering the ranking.

Only the Spirit Mind Tower competition, in addition to points, had extra rewards for each level.

Many students gave up their Cultivation plans for today and specially came to watch this ranking challenge.

Besides witnessing the mysterious duels of Spiritual Mentors, the biggest highlights were two:

First, could Jiang Fan achieve a good result on the Nianshen ranking?

Second, could Qiao Han, the top student of the Southern District, overpower Jiang Fan?

Beside Jiang Fan, Qiao Han, with his blue spiky hair, said teasingly: “Jiang Fan, your martial arts talent is indeed outstanding, but in terms of Mental Energy, I will show you with practical actions that I am the number one person in the Training Camp.”

Fang Hua, who was beside him, echoed: “Brother Qiao is right. As the saying goes, human power has its limits, and there are things beyond one's reach. Jiang Fan can't be proficient in everything.”

Jiang Fan smiled and said: “Mental Energy is indeed my shortcoming.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Han and Fang Hua immediately felt much more comfortable.

They all said that Jiang Fan was arrogant, but they didn't expect him to seem quite humble when it came to a Domain he wasn't good at.

However, the next moment, both of their faces immediately turned livid.

“However, my shortcoming might still be quite a bit longer than your strengths!”

Qiao Han snorted coldly: “Then let's wait and see!”

Their subtle expressions were also noticed by the attentive students below, who were eagerly discussing and debating.

“I feel like Qiao Han just had a verbal sparring match with Jiang Fan!”

“Looking at Qiao Han's livid face, he must have lost to Jiang Fan.”

“I have a premonition that Qiao Han will have the last laugh this time.”

“I don't think so. I still think Jiang Fan might be stronger. His Telekinetic Throwing Blade is used with such mastery.”

“You're still shallow. Besides Telekinetic Throwing Blade, Spiritual Mentors have many more attack methods.”

“What you're saying isn't without reason.”

...

At this moment, the contestants were listening to Meng Ze introduce the relevant requirements for the competition.

The competition was divided into three rounds.

The first round, Object Manipulation Competition.

The second round, Engraving Formation Patterns.

The third round, Mental Maze.

After Meng Ze finished introducing the rules, he said with a smile: “The ranking challenge begins. I wish everyone good results!”

Just then, a loud voice rang out from the audience: “Excuse me, Instructor Meng, can I participate?”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Wang Tao, a man with an earring in his left ear, standing up.

Meng Ze looked at Wang Tao and was slightly stunned.

There had never been a situation where a non-Spiritual Mentor participated in the competition before.

However, the competition itself had a promotional purpose, so if someone was interested in participating, he naturally couldn't ask for more.

From another perspective, having a novice to serve as a foil was not a bad idea.

Thus, Meng Ze nodded and said: “If you are interested, you can participate. The competition is about participation.”

Xie Chen, who was beside him, changed his expression drastically upon seeing this.

He had been worried these past few days that “Wang Tao” would cause some trouble, but he didn't expect it to happen in this kind of setting.

Making a move on Jiang Fan in front of so many people, wasn't that asking for death?

Xie Chen whispered: “Don't mess around, so many people are watching!”

Xin Meng, who was beside him, was also shocked by Wang Tao's unusual behavior: “Taozi, Boss is right, aren't you just going up there to make a fool of yourself?! Quickly sit down.”

Wang Tao ignored the two of them and walked directly onto the stage.

At the same time, he transmitted a message to Xie Chen: “I told you, we'll each rely on our own abilities to kill Jiang Fan!”

Using primal energy to force sound into a line, achieving the effect of private sound transmission, was a basic operation for a Grandmaster-level expert.

Upon hearing this, Xie Chen's expression changed several times.

He couldn't control “Wang Tao” if he was seeking death.

But he hoped he wouldn't get dragged into it later.

The audience below, seeing Wang Tao actively participate in the ranking challenge, thought it was at Xie Chen's request, after all, Wang Tao was Xie Chen's subordinate, and the conflict between Xie Chen and Jiang Fan was well-known.

“Damn! Xie Chen is stirring things up. Wang Tao isn't a Mentor, what's he going up there for? To mess with Jiang Fan's mindset?”

“I really don't understand, but looking at Xie Chen's depressed face, I don't know if he's faking it or what.”

“The key is that this is too much of a test for Wang Tao. If he messes up, it'll be Xie Chen who loses face!”

“I'm actually looking forward to what Wang Tao can do up there?”

...

As Wang Tao walked into the team, Jiang Fan felt a surge of irritation in his chest.

Jiang Fan's mind moved, and Little Blood's voice came from his mind: “Master, I'm so agitated right now, I don't know why.”

Jiang Fan comforted him: “Calm down for a bit. I still have to challenge the rankings later.”
