200: Spiritual Master System

The Front Desk Girl helped Jiang Fan complete the settlement procedures and tremblingly handed the card back to him.

At the same time, she couldn't help but secretly size him up again.

Jiang Fan's slightly childish face made her feel a moment of bewilderment.

Although Jiang Fan hadn't explicitly stated his Rank, his tacit attitude had explained everything.

Level Five!

Even the instructors at Luocheng Second Martial Arts University might not be stronger than him!

The stark contrast between his age and strength made everything before her seem so unreal.

"Please take care!"

Even after Jiang Fan stepped out of the Martial Arts Academy's door, the girl was still staring blankly.

"Oh my god, he's really Level Five! And a high-Rank Level Five?"

"How could that be fake? Wasn't it clearly displayed on the testing device?"

"But he looks about our age. How could someone his age already be Level Five? I've never heard of anyone so Heaven-Defying in all of Luo City! Even if there was, there's no way we wouldn't know!"

"Exactly! There's no one like that in our third-year high school class in Luo City this year!"

"..."

A group of young men and women immediately erupted into chatter.

Although they knew what Jiang Fan said was likely true, everyone's perception made it seem unbelievable.

The Front Desk Girl retracted her gaze, turned to the crowd, and said with a complex expression,

"He just said he isn't a high school student!"

"He's already a university New Student!"

The crowd was stunned and questioned again.

"That's still not right! If he's a university New Student, with his strength, he could definitely be the University New Student League's freshman chief. But as far as I know, the freshman chief of Luocheng Second Martial Arts University is a girl!"

"That's right, it's Song Xixi. She's our Senior Sister from high school and the pride of Luocheng First High School!"

"If he's not the freshman chief of Luocheng Second Martial Arts University, then who exactly is he?"

"..."

Everyone looked at each other.

The Front Desk Girl shook her head and said softly,

"I don't know that!"

...In the afternoon, Jiang Fan visited Ye Qiubai's home as agreed.

When he arrived, he found Song Xixi sitting below Ye Qiubai, chatting and laughing with her.

"Oh? Senior Sister Song is here too?"

Jiang Fan said with a smile.

Song Xixi raised an eyebrow.

"I come to Teacher's place to Cultivate at a fixed time every week, so it's not surprising for me to be here, is it?"

"What? Does that mean after Teacher accepts you, I have to avoid you?"

Jiang Fan was slightly taken aback.

Just as he was about to explain, Ye Qiubai waved her hand and said,

"You two, don't bicker!"

"I called Xixi over as well!"

"Today, I'm going to teach you the method of a Mentalist. Although Xixi has already learned it, I'll take this opportunity to let her review it again!"

"Additionally, if what I explain is too obscure, Xixi can also help me explain it!"

"After all, your strengths are similar, so you'll have more in common to discuss regarding Cultivation!"

So, she's an assistant, Jiang Fan thought silently.

Then, he nodded slightly.

"Yes!"

After the basic courtesies were exchanged, they officially began the teaching session.

Ye Qiubai sat in the main seat, her gaze sweeping over Jiang Fan and Song Xixi, and she said unhurriedly,

"Jiang Fan, do you know how the Ranks of a Mentalist are divided?"

Jiang Fan shook his head.

"I don't!"

He remembered that during the Freshman League, Song Xixi had once said he was a Level Four Mentalist.

He was certain that his Mental Energy was indeed stronger than Song Xixi's, but he truly didn't know what Rank he was, or how the Ranks of a Mentalist were actually divided!

Ye Qiubai smiled slightly at his response.

"In that case, I'll introduce it to you from the beginning!"

She had previously heard Jiang Fan say that he had accidentally absorbed the ability of a special exotic beast to Awaken his Mental Energy, so she guessed that Jiang Fan had no concept of this aspect, and therefore explained it in extraordinary detail.

"A Mentalist, just like a Martial Artist, is also divided into Ranks One to Nine!"

"However, a Mentalist also has unique markers and power boundaries in terms of Rank division!"

"In general, it can be divided into five major stages!"

"The first stage is the Awakening of Mental Energy. The corresponding Rank is Level One!"

"At this stage, one can initially perceive the existence of Mental Energy and subtly influence the external world. For example, one can touch or perceive objects in the external world through Mental Energy, establishing a connection with the outside world."

"At this time, the Mental Energy is like a candle flame, weak but already lit!"

"The second stage is the Solidification of Mental Energy, corresponding to Ranks Two to Three!"

"At this stage, Mental Energy gradually solidifies. In addition to perception, one can already manipulate light objects, such as paper, feathers, and so on!"

"At this time, one can not only perceive surrounding life auras and energy fluctuations but also possesses preliminary Mental Energy attack and Mental Energy defense abilities!"

"For example, the method Xixi used to attack you in the University New Student League was a Mental Energy attack technique!"

"However, she was ultimately of a lower Rank, and her Mental Energy was relatively weak, while your Mental Energy was stronger than hers, so her attack was blocked by you!"

Jiang Fan pondered.

"I was lucky. I hadn't learned any related Mental Energy application methods before, and I protected my Mental Energy around my glabella purely by feeling..."

As soon as Jiang Fan said this, Song Xixi bared her teeth.

Ye Qiubai ignored it and continued,

"To be able to mobilize Mental Energy to form a defense purely by feeling has already surpassed many people!"

"Among the Mentalists I've encountered, even if they are taught the method, the mere act of mobilizing Mental Energy is a hurdle that many get stuck on!"

"So, you have a lot of talent in Mental Energy!"

After speaking, she shook her head.

"Let's not talk about that; I'll continue the introduction!"

"The third stage of a Mentalist is Mental Energy Manifestation, corresponding to Ranks Four to Five!"

"At this stage, Mental Energy can be materialized, forming very effective attack and defense methods!"

"For example, you can condense a sword for attack or a shield for defense. At this point, one already possesses strong Mental Energy attack capabilities and can interfere with the opponent's consciousness..."

"The fourth stage is Mental Energy Domain, corresponding to Ranks Six to Seven!"

"Once one enters this stage, they can cover a certain area with Mental Energy, forming a Domain!"

"Within the Domain, one can not only perceive everything but also achieve absolute control, and even use Mental Energy to change the environment within the Domain! And form large-scale Mental Energy attacks..."

"Previously, when I was intercepting..."

Ye Qiubai was about to say that when she had intercepted Yu Boyan, she had used Domain suppression.

But remembering that Song Xixi was also there, she changed her words at the last minute.

"Previously, I used the Domain to slow down the speed within the area!"
