Astral Flower-Chapter 400: Questions

The five of them talked until it was evening.

The other four left to go home while Qing Shu Lian stayed in the ward. Before Feng Yu Hua left, she told him that she had asked Xiao Bai to keep his belongings somewhere safe and he will come to pay a visit to Qing Shu Lian once it was done.

Qing Shu Lian lightly tapped the top of his eyes.

The front of his pupil changed as if there was a screen there. In fact, it was a contact lenses that he had modified in order to be able to watch over his cats.

Yes, there were several cats.

Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were the only two who were staying near him on the surface. Though, Xiao Hei has been handed over to Feng Yu Hua now.

"Meow~."

There was meowing from the side.

Qing Shu Lian walked to the window and opened it. He looked down at the white colored cat that sit on his windowsill. Seeing his master coming, the white cat opened his mouth and meowed once again.

"Meow~."

"You didn’t a good job." Qing Shu Lian patted the cat’s head. Even if he knew that this was a robot, he had never treated these cats as robots. For him, they were also his partners who accompanied him when he was very lonely.

Xiao Bai moved and rubbed Qing Shu Lian’s hand back.

"Stay here for the time being." Qing Shu Lian picked Xiao Bai and brought him into the ward. He stuffed the robot cat to the bed and laid down beside him. Hugging Xiao Bai, Qing Shu Lian slowly fell asleep.

...

<Nan Family Residence>

Nan Hua and Feng Yu Hua went back to Nan Family Residence. In order to report to Old Master Nan, the driver had left, so the one who drive this time is Feng Yu Hua. Anyway, Feng Yu Hua is already over 18 years old and already had her license.

There was no need to bother other to bring them back.

"Say," Feng Yu Hua suddenly speak. "Is it really possible to increase one’s mental strength if it reaches a bottleneck?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Rank F to E?" Nan Hua asked back.

"How do you know? Wait, you did say that if your mental strength reached a certain rank, it’s possible to know other people’s mental strength?" Feng Yu Hua suddenly remembered Nan Hua’s words.

"Not all of them and only those who are trained in battles. Also, you can only sense it when you’re using the mental strength and if they’re kept inside your mind, you will never be able to guess other people’s mental strength," Nan Hua explained unhurriedly.

"Can you fake your rank?"

"How much you expose at the front is what they know your rank will be. Those who are sensitive will be able to sense the mental fluctuation and guessed your real rank through the difference of fluctuation." Nan Hua tilted her head. "Unless your rank is much higher, it’s usually not very accurate."

"Then you know my real rank?"

"Yes, 2-9."

Feng Yu Hua was speechless.

She never told Nan Hua about her real mental strength, yet Nan Hua was able to guess it just through her perception.

Just how terrifying is this Nan Hua?

Even if she had the advantage of being better in terms of hacking, she had seen Nan Hua’s shield and it was not very bad. At the very least, Nan Hua could still crush many people who proclaimed themselves as a genius.

It was just that compared to the real experts, Nan Hua’s skills was indeed a bit amateur.

"Then how do they know the differences?"

"F rank has only started to learn how to use their mental strength. They’re very weak and the mental fluctuation is also very vague. At the same time, their mental strength can only form a very thin shield around their body."

As Nan Hua spoke, she raised her hand and there was a faint layer of white mist around her hand. "They’re intangible most of the time, but if you reach high enough rank, you can actually give them color."

Feng Yu Hua felt her scalp was numb when she saw Nan Hua’s action. She could exert her mental strength out, but it was definitely not like Nan Hua where other people would be able to see it if she wanted to.

"Rank D could use their mental strength at longer range." Nan Hua moved her mental strength in the shape of the white mist and floated towards the nearby card on top of the dashboard. The card floated as the white mist carried it from below gently.

"They will be able to lift small objects around them as long as they have enough mental strength. As their strength and control increase, it’s even possible for them to use these small objects to attack those around them. But even then, their range usually limited to half a meter around their body and only some people could bypass this limit."

Feng Yu Hua watched in astonishment.

She knew very well that this was the next rank that she needed to strive next in her advancement.

But it was really painful to see that the rank that she strives to achieve was done so easily by Nan Hua.

"Many generals in Green Planet has reached this rank. This also includes some talented people who are at the top of their profession," Nan Hua paused for a moment and then added, "For example, your father is at this rank."

Feng Yu Hua was stunned. "How did you know? Did he use his mental strength or something?"

She knew that Nan Hua had met with her father, but she didn’t know that her father had used his mental strength in front of her.

"I don’t need to have them use it in front of me to know their strength," Nan Hua said calmly. "Also, you need to remember that overusing your mental strength can result in you turning into an idiot."
