Chapter 149: Chapter 59 A Telekinesis Candidate Appears Chapter 149: Chapter 59 A Telekinesis Candidate Appears Editor: Noodletown Translations “`
When the dazzling light faded, the blackness emerged.
However, it was no longer at close range but a thousand kilometers away.
The dark glow gradually dissipated, revealing the Black Knight inside holding a long spear.
“I actually took a hit from the Great Harmony Cannon, now I can boast about it to those guys when I get back,” Reingano was momentarily stunned as he saw the energy bar had dropped to the warning line, then he laughed to himself.
Completely neutralizing the profound meaning technique of the Great Harmony Cannon, it even propelled him to the brink of the Realm-Breaking Gate.
Now, another attack by the Black Knight was no longer feasible.
“I underestimated you.
You’re far stronger than the previous forces.
Federation commander, leave your name!” The voice from the Black Knight echoed once again inside the flagship.
Soon, a voice answered, calm and unruffled as before.
“Federation Colonel—Qi Longxiang.”
After Qi Longxiang left these mild words, Reingano etched the name into his memory and piloted the Black Knight to vanish back through the Realm-Breaking Gate.
As the entire Special Service Q1 Fleet burst into cheers of excitement, there was a thud as Qi Longxiang collapsed heavily from the command platform.
With eyes tightly shut, his pale face was devoid of any color, only a trace of crimson seeped from his ears and nose.
“Medical officer!”
“Connect to Chief No.
2!”
“Fleet, return!”
Lieutenant Colonel Li, beside him, was shocked and urgently issued a series of commands.
The fleet that had come here recently now had to return.
…
The people on the ground were completely oblivious to the encounter that had just unfolded in outer space, one that would definitely be recorded in the Federation’s battle history.
The authorities on Purple Jade Star were even more unaware that the roar of the Great Harmony Cannon was merely for self-defense.
As for the enemy that could prompt a Star Annihilation Ship to defend itself…
it’s better they didn’t know.
Su Xiaomi, pouting, had already returned to the Star Peak Inn.
She had agreed with Qi Longxiang to return to school in a few days.
It’s too boring here.
Originally, there was a rather interesting Martial Path Master, but he had been missing for the past two days.
She still needed to properly thank Master Hei Fan for saving her life.
If she managed to meet him in the next few days, she should invite him for a meal, though no more than 500 Star Coins.
She’s not wealthy.
Remembering Master Hei Fan’s eternally ravenous expression, Su Xiaomi covered her mouth and giggled.
“Hey beauty, what are you thinking about, being all happy?”
Suddenly, a guest coming down the stairs attempted to chat her up.
Su Xiaomi recognized him as a registered high-ranking mercenary.
“Hmph.”
She just gave a sidelong glance, and the mercenary, running into a wall, walked away disinterested.
This little rose looked cute but was all thorns.
Bored, Su Xiaomi resumed her shopping spree, completely unaware that her cousin, who had just left not long ago, was now unconscious on the way back to Capital Star.
“Pfft~~ Bo~~” Taking advantage of no one being around, Su Xiaomi made a funny face, slumping behind the counter.
…
On the ground thousands of kilometers away in outer space, within the Jilan Arena of Area A, the special recruitment for the Federation Army Reserve was still proceeding enthusiastically.
Among the thousand-to-five-hundred matches, Eli had not managed to defeat his newly arrived opponent.
Fortunately, this opponent wasn’t as brutal as contestant number 208 before.
Under the full suppression of physical strength and fighting skill, he didn’t go for the kill on Eli, only delivering a punch that left Eli kneeling and waiting for him to concede.
Eventually, seeing the ease of his opponent, Eli conceded unwillingly.
Descending to where Mu Fan and Paje were, Eli gave a bitter smile:
“I should be thankful that this noble candidate showed some grace; otherwise, I might have ended up like Phil.
The road ahead…
push on!”
Watching Eli leave, full of unwillingness but forced to accept reality, Mu Fan felt a sense of poignancy.
The cruel elimination was tough for candidates from a commoner background like them.
Without a privileged learning environment from a young age, without a complete system of guidance, making it to this point was already the mark of a prodigious talent of their generation.
But…
It could only end here.
The nobility maintained their grip on resources not just through power but also through the high starting point that surpasses others in every minute detail from birth.
The result of elite education was an ever-widening gap.
This was what Hei once casually said during one of their idle chats.
Sometimes it was hard to believe, this intelligent lifeform could be naive to the extreme, yet at times quite deep and profound.
In the enormous arena, contestants were continually going up and coming down.
When the broadcast announced again the new contestant match, whispers arose around.
Though Mu Fan did not look up at the arena, with extraordinary hearing, he caught these conversations.
“Why did two soldiers go up after that contestant took the stage?”
“Wow!
A small arsenal of cold weapons?
Are they using real weapons this time!”
“Shouldn’t be real weapons; if cold weapon combat was allowed, it would have been declared long ago.” One young man remarked thoughtfully.
“Not real weapons, special-made ones.
Look, his opponent is also allowed to choose a weapon.”
Wow, a special case?
The atmosphere at the site was stirred again.
There were indeed countless surprises here; one domineering statement from the military relinquishing all questioning rights to them negated all objections.
“Those four…
spheres, how are they floating!!!”
The site burst into an uproar.
“A telekinetic candidate!”
In the fighting competition, a telekinetic candidate had suddenly emerged!
Hidden deep, nobody had paid attention to the contestant numbered 4919 before, probably because their matches had been too uneventful and the opponents not outstanding.
However, now the situation was different; the candidate suddenly revealed their telekinesis abilities, causing their strength to be astounding.
Because this candidate number 4919 not only met the minimum requirements for the test, having a physique of level 15, but also possessed telekinesis of an unknown level!
Telekinetics were extremely rare across the vast territory of the Federation.
Not hereditary, impossible to manually create, untestable in advance; they only began to reveal their telekinetic features after infancy.
For instance, controlling objects from a distance, or far surpassing average mental strength.
The brain, in its current stage, remains a field beyond the profound reach of science, and the mysteries of the human body offer no determinable limits.
Telekinesis levels have a special assessment criterion, but are often inseparable from mental levels.
Generally, a first-level telekinetic can only move small objects; a second-level telekinetic can manipulate slightly heavier objects with some operations; a third-level telekinetic can be applied in combat, but the weapons they control still hold limitations in multi-directional movement.
A fourth-level telekinetic is considered a master, capable of smooth multi-line operations and initiating multi-directional controls.
From the fifth level onward, one is referred to as a master.
At this level, telekinesis becomes almost second-nature, and the spirit lock must have been unlocked to the second tier or higher.
Beginning at the fifth level, telekinesis involves multiple manipulations and broader functional evolution.
Qi Longxiang’s telekinesis level had never been recorded in the Federation, but for a long time, military top brass regarded him as a high-tier Telekinesis Master.
Unfortunately, most present had only heard of this legendary ability, and few were able to know the detailed divisions within.
Among the few were noble scions raised with wealth and privilege from a young age.
Zhang Yuanren was indeed one of them.
He squinted while watching the four spheres already suspended abruptly behind that person.
At the moment, those four spheres kept moving in a random pattern, each taking a different path.
On the opposite side, contestant number 4919 wielded a specially made high-strength training staff, ready for a fierce battle.
“Smooth multi-line operation, a fourth-level telekinetic…
this match is truly a surprise.”
