Astral Flower-Chapter 397: Mental Strength’s Use

"Really?" Tian Lin’s face lit up almost immediately.

The changes in his expression was so sudden that the others were speechless once again.

They felt that the saying that women changes their face faster than flipping hand was incorrect. It should be Tian Lin changes his face faster than blinking one’s eyes!

Look at how fast his face changed from excited to sad to excited again.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

"If there’s any drama club in the academy, Tian Lin really need to participate," Feng Yu Hua mumbled.

"There shouldn’t be any," Nan Hua added from the side.

Feng Yu Hua nodded, indicating that she knew. She only said it because she felt that even if Tian Lin didn’t enter the military, he would be able to achieve success through his ability to change his expression.

"Yes." Qian Fei Liu rubbed his forehead. He really couldn’t remember how he become friends with Tian Lin anymore. It seemed that this brat was the one who pestered him when he was young?

He honestly forgot.

"What’s the requirement?"

"Having your physical strength above C rank and your mental strength above 1-5 at the very minimum," Qian Fei Liu replied.

"Wait, mental strength?" Tian Lin was stunned.

"Do you not know?" Qian Fei Liu looked at Tian Lin strangely. "It’s not like you can’t control the mecha when your mental strength is lower, but it will cause more burden to your body. Because of that, those with lower mental strength can only control the weaker version of the mecha. If you want to control the stronger mecha, you need to have better mental strength or your brain wouldn’t be able to hold on controlling the mecha."

Tian Lin nodded with a dumbfounded expression. "I forgot about it."

"...Forget it."

Qing Shu Lian furrowed his eyebrows. "The physical strength is the adult’s ranking, right? It’ll be a bit difficult."

His current ranking if using the adult’s ranking was only at E rank. Compared to the others who had reached D rank at the very least, he could be said to be the lowest in terms of strength.

Even if he wanted to control the mecha, it was estimated that he would need to wait for a long period of time.

Thankfully, his mental strength was enough.

"Right, what’s your mental strength?" Tian Lin remembered something.

"Huh? 1-6," Qing Shu Lian replied.

"2-1," Qian Fei Liu added from the side.

Feng Yu Hua arched her eyebrows. "2-1."

"1-7," Nan Hua also answered.

"Wait... that’s mean I’m the lowest in mental strength?" Tian Lin’s expression looked loveless. He felt that he greatly underestimated the others when he heard that they were all much higher than him.

"Your mental strength is...?" Feng Yu Hua asked doubtfully.

"He’s only 1-5, barely pass for the minimum." Qian Fei Liu rolled his eyes. "If you hadn’t been lazy to meditate, you would be able to reach higher mental strength."

"That’s..." Tian Lin couldn’t refute.

But the problem is that meditating was so boring that he didn’t know what he should do. Whenever he had to meditate, he could only last for half an hour before he fell asleep in the middle.

Because of that, his father kept on beating him when he was young. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

But even then, he still couldn’t concentrate to meditate for a long time and still felt that it was really boring.

"By the way, why are your mental strength didn’t increase at all?" Feng Yu Hua looked in Nan Hua and Qing Shu Lian’s direction one by one.

"I haven’t tested it again," Nan Hua replied.

"Me too." Qing Shu Lian’s Virtual World cabin at home was monitored strictly, so he didn’t like to use it very much. Unless it was necessary, he would not use the Virtual World cabin there.

"Tsk, I have been training for a long time and my father said that since my mental strength broke to 2, I can start to learn how to use it in daily life." Feng Yu Hua pursed her lips.

"What’s the use of having high mental strength?" Tian Lin was confused.

"Of course it’s useful." Qian Fei Liu sighed. "From the moment you reach rank 2, you can use your mental strength outside your body. Most people will use it to form a thin layer of protection around their head but only when it’s necessary because maintaining it outside is very stressful."

Tian Lin’s mouth was opened wide. "That sounds like fantasy."

Bletak!

Qian Fei Liu smacked Tian Lin’s head. "From the moment you’re asked to train your mental strength, can’t you already know that it’s not ordinary? Also, human’s physical strength has long increased rapidly because of our contact with the Humans Association. There are many other magical things for us that’s normal for them there."

Tian Lin squatted and rubbed his head resentfully. "I know that I don’t have much knowledge, but can’t you not hit my head? I don’t want to get stupider."

"Don’t worry, no matter how many times I hit your head, you can’t get more stupid with your current IQ." Qian Fei Liu sneered.

"You bully!"

"Oh, want to fight? Let me take my weapon out first."

"Wait, no, don’t!"

Feng Yu Hua looked at Qing Shu Lian curiously. "Weapon?"

"Just a small mechanic arm that will help to boost his strength." Qing Shu Lian handed that thing to Qian Fei Liu when he met with the others on the day he delivered the thing to the men’s toilet for Nan Hua.

He made some excuses to enter the building and successfully put the suitcase there.

After that, Xiao Bai had already taken the suitcase back and put it somewhere safe without his parent’s knowing.

"That’s quite interesting." Feng Yu Hua nodded.

"If you want to, I can make you one."

"No, it looks ugly."

"Then I’ll redesign it so that it will look beautiful," Qing Shu Lian said without any hesitation.

"Really?" Feng Yu Hua’s eyes lit up.

"Real."

"That’s a deal!"
