Chapter 793 Redefining the Force Classification System
What other Force abilities do you have?

Fu Qinghai looked at the two women and asked:

"I still have plenty of assimilation points."

Upon hearing this, Wei Ran and Qi Niya turned to look at each other—Fu Qinghai's learning speed had completely exceeded their expectations.

Fu Qinghai initially told them that he only had two to three days to study, and that if they stayed away from the Serenno Star Empire military base for too long, it might cause a series of troublesome problems.

Wei Ran originally planned to teach only one Force skill: the Force Barrier. After all, with only two or three days, even if Fu Qinghai was a genius, he would be lucky to learn even one Force skill, and might not even learn one, because the time was indeed too tight.

However, neither of them expected that on their very first day in Arjanrock, Fu Qinghai had already learned most of the Force skills that the two of them possessed.

"Would you like me to teach you that move?"

Qi Nia looked at Wei Ran and asked:

"Our trump card skill."

"Since you've already asked that question..."

Wei Ran gave a helpless twitch of her lips:

"Doesn't that mean teaching?"

This is the benefit of 1,000 assimilation points; if they weren't given enough incentive, these two would probably keep some to themselves.

Fu Qinghai thought to himself.

"Let's skip it today."

Wei Ran stretched and raised her hands with a soft "hmm." She was wearing a halter-neck strapless top, which immediately revealed her slender and beautiful figure, including her narrow waist and clean armpits.
"I've used too many Force abilities today, I'm a bit tired... I'll get a good night's sleep and continue tomorrow morning."

"Yes, I got sucked a lot of blood today."

Zinya looked at her fingers and muttered to herself:
"I feel like I'm a bit anemic, what's wrong with me?"

That's enough.

Upon hearing this, Fu Qinghai twitched the corner of his mouth and said:

"People who bleed for several days every month, how could losing just a few drops of blood make you both anemic?"

"Excuse me."

Wei Ran leaned back in the recliner and smiled:

"We Farin people don't menstruate."

"Oh my, I'm so envious."

Zinia also pulled up a recliner and sat down.

She bent down and opened a metal box that the two of them had carried off the spaceship. White mist emanated from it. The box was filled with crushed ice, as well as bottles of wine and fruit wrapped in ice. Zinia took out a bottle of sparkling wine and threw it to Fu Qinghai.

Fu Qinghai took the bottle, popped off the cap, and took a sip. The cool and refreshing liquid flowed down his esophagus into the pre-made stomach.

After most of the day of teaching had passed, Fu Qinghai was still full of energy, but seeing that the two women were a little tired, he didn't force them. He leaned back in a deck chair, the chair's legs creaking as they sank deep into the meadow.

By this time, it was evening, and the outlines of the two satellites were faintly visible in the bluish-gray sky. The last golden rays of the setting sun filtered through the treetops, breaking into shimmering spots of light scattered across the ground, and an amber-colored silence settled over the jungle.

Wei Ran and Zinia's spaceship is a YT-1000, manufactured by Corellia Engineering Corporation. It has a disc-shaped hull similar to the Millennium Falcon, but is more symmetrical and smaller in size. It is an early model of the YT series. Although the design is a bit old, it is well maintained.

At this moment, the three of them set up a sunshade on one side of the spaceship, placed three deck chairs on the soft meadow, and enjoyed chilled wine and fruit while gazing silently at the undulating mountains in the distance, savoring the afterglow of the sunset and the coolness of the evening.

The atmosphere became somewhat quiet for a moment.

“Although Nia and I are both older Jedi apprentices, our Force talent is not bad among the many apprentices in the Jedi Temple; in fact, we can be considered among the top ones.”

Wei Ran looked into the distance and suddenly spoke.

"and then?"

Fu Qinghai took a sip of fruit wine and continued the conversation.

"But we ran away."

Wei Ran lowered his eyelids and stared at the ground as he said:

"The night Anakin Skywalker led the 501st Legion to massacre the Jedi Temple, we ran away. We didn't have the courage to face the corrupted Anakin Skywalker. After warning those around us as much as possible, we tried to escape Coruscant, leaving our young apprentices in the temple to be slaughtered."

"Forget it, Wei Ran, it's all in the past."

"I'm comforting you," said Zinia, holding her hand.

"You know that a Jedi purge is about to happen."

Fu Qinghai frowned, somewhat puzzled:

"Why not plan ahead and avoid it?"

To be honest, I don't know.

A bitter smile appeared on Wei Ran's face:
"Before entering the cycle of reincarnation, I had never seen a single Star Wars movie. I had heard of the Force, lightsabers, and Jedi Knights, but I had never seen a single movie. I wasn't interested in this kind of space opera. If I hadn't accidentally discovered that I had the Force talent, I wouldn't have even planned to settle down and take root in the Star Wars canon universe for a long time."

"I'm not that much different from her."

Zinya sighed and shook her head:

"Star Wars is a favorite among boys. Before entering the Reincarnation World, I knew almost nothing about its plot. The 'Jedi Purge' you mentioned, I only realized it when it was about to happen to us. After awakening the Force, I frantically studied the plot and settings of Star Wars. In the early stages, I relied entirely on other players' explanations. Looking back, I found many mistakes and omissions."

"Fortunately, after all these years, I've become quite familiar with the place."

Wei Ran gazed into the distance and smiled self-deprecatingly:

"Star Wars is quite interesting, with its bizarre planetary landscapes and all sorts of strange alien races. I regret not having learned more about this sci-fi IP before. If we were forever trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation and could only choose a temporary place to settle down, choosing this place would actually be quite good."

"It would be better if the Sontsewo Brotherhood didn't exist."

Zinya then added a sentence.

"By the way, speaking of the Sontsewo Brotherhood."

Fu Qinghai composed himself and asked seriously:

How much do you know about this reincarnation society?

"We haven't had many direct confrontations with them, and our impressions of them are mostly based on hearsay. A large community of Russian-American reincarnators fits all your stereotypes about that ethnicity: domineering, tyrannical, dislikes negotiation and cooperation, and somewhat racist—you mean, it's brain-dead to be racist even after entering the reincarnation world?"

Wei Ran shook his head as he drank.

“I’ve heard from others that the Sontsworth Brotherhood originated in a game universe called ‘Metro’.”

Zinya added a piece of information she knew.

"Ah, the subway, I know."

Fu Qinghai nodded knowingly upon hearing this:
"It's not just a series of games; it's adapted from the original novel of the same name, and it's a post-apocalyptic survival game."

A shooting game with a strong Russian flavor.

“In the anchored reincarnation world, there is a large reincarnation community that has long stood on the opposing side of you, but our side does not have a reincarnation community of corresponding size. To be honest, the pressure is quite great. If it weren’t for cherishing the hard-won talent of the Force, I would have considered changing the anchored world.”

"I'll take a bite of the meluren fruit," said Zinya.

Indeed, every cultivation talent in the cycle of reincarnation is worth cherishing, whether it is primal force, magic, psychic energy, or cultivation. Reincarnators only have three lives, and it is almost impossible to gamble on new cultivation talents by committing suicide to be reborn.

"Haven't you considered the Star Wars Legends universe?"

Fu Qinghai suddenly thought of something and asked curiously:

"Isn't the upper limit of Force expression higher there?"

"The Star Wars legends universe has no future."

Wei Ran shook her head and explained softly:

"Since Disney acquired Lucasfilm, the Star Wars Legends universe has not been updated with new content. This means that there may not be any new storylines or major events in the future, so there are no Assimilation Points to earn, and anchoring there yields very little benefit."

"Oh I got it."

Fu Qinghai understood immediately after hearing this.

Fortunately, GW's financial report is still acceptable and there are no signs of bankruptcy.

The setting sun disappeared behind the distant mountains, leaving only the last rays of light on the mountain peaks as darkness gradually fell.

"By the way, are you two just having some fruit for dinner?"

Fu Qinghai sat on the recliner, looking at the two women in front of him, each holding a meluren fruit, and couldn't help but ask.

"There are quick-cooked dehydrated rations in the cabin."

Wei Ran pointed to the transport ship and said.

"I want to eat meat."

Fu Qinghai shook his head and refused.

He turned his head and cast his gaze upon the dense jungle under the cover of night, from which the faint roars of animals could be heard.

"Do you want to eat this?"

Qi Nia raised one foot in front of Fu Qinghai, hooked her pink toes, and asked.

This is a bit too stylish, bro.

Fu Qinghai ignored Qi Niya's seduction and stood up on his own, walking towards the dark forest at the end of the grassland.

……

The two women watched Fu Qinghai's figure disappear into the dark, indistinct jungle. Although the man was unarmed and carrying no weapons, they knew that the creatures on this planet would not be able to harm him.

Qi Nia turned her gaze away and looked at Wei Ran.

"You kind of like him, don't you?"

Suddenly, Qi Niya spoke up.

"What did you say!?"

Wei Ran looked at her best friend in shock.

"Stop pretending."

A mischievous smile curled at the corner of Xenia's lips:
“You’ve concealed it well, but don’t forget, I’m a Zeltros Jedi Knight. With my telepathy and Force empathy, your emotional fluctuations are as obvious to me as the stars in the darkest night sky.”

Wei Ran looked embarrassed.

"Okay, there's nothing shameful about it."

Wei Ran shrugged and was forced to admit it openly:

"By East Asian standards of beauty, he is quite handsome."

"By any standard of beauty, he's quite handsome."

Zinya bluntly exposed her.

"Of course, considering we've been best friends for so many years, I can let you have him, okay?"

Qi Nia smiled and put her arm around her shoulder.

"Give it to me? You're just going to give it to me because it's yours?"

Wei Ran looked at the other person with a bewildered expression.

"Hmph, that just means I haven't used my full strength yet."

Zinya raised her eyebrows smugly and said:

"No one in the entire galaxy can resist the charm of the Zeltross. Remember, anyone! This has nothing to do with aesthetics. Pheromones are impulse signals rooted in our genes. Even if the human vomeronasal organ has severely degenerated, as long as it retains even a sliver of function, it can still receive them. Do you understand?"

"Hmm...I don't quite understand."

Wei Ran raised her elbow to look at the light green skin under her armpit, even leaning in to smell it, and said:

"The Farin people also have pheromones, but I didn't notice..."

"That's different."

Zinya interrupted her monologue:

“As you know, the pheromones of the Farin and Zeltros are not on the same level, and besides, I have this.”

Zinya pulled a necklace from her deep cleavage; a ring was attached to the thin metal chain, and in the center of the purplish-red ring was a star-shaped symbol.

"Hasn't your lamp ring run out of energy?"

Wei Ran was surprised to see her take out the ring and said:

"You're going to use the precious energy of the lamp ring to seduce men?"

"Of course not."

Xenia tucked the necklace back into her soft cleavage:

"I'm just telling you that I have this ability."

"Getting back to the point, how do you plan to win him over?"

Qi Nia stared at Wei Ran with great interest and asked:

"Do you want me to come up with some ideas for you?"

"Get lost."

Wei Ran quickly raised her hands and pushed her away:

"I just have a slight crush on him. Everyone likes handsome guys, it's normal. Don't make any unnecessary fuss."

"Besides... do you think a reincarnator as powerful and handsome as him would lack women in the reincarnation world?"

Wei Ran put down the wine bottle in her hand and looked into the distance.

"You East Asians have two very bad problems when it comes to relationships. This is a conclusion I have drawn after long-term observation."

Zinya sat up straight and said seriously.

"What problem? What conclusion?"

Wei Ran turned to look at her companion curiously.

"First, you are too reserved and unwilling to express your feelings directly. If you like someone, just say it out loud! What's there to be embarrassed about? Second, you are always thinking about possession. What does it matter to you whether he needs women or not? Enjoy the right to use, give up the right to possess, and you will find that life is full of happiness."

"I'll cross my legs and say that," said Zinia.

"Thank you for your advice, mentor."

Wei Ran rolled her eyes slightly.

At that moment, the two women simultaneously caught sight of a tall man emerging from the dark, dense jungle in the distance, dragging a two-meter-long spotted fish with one hand. They tacitly shut their mouths and stopped talking about the previous topic.

……

The fire crackled and popped.

Fu Qinghai focused intently on flipping the grilled fish in front of him.

When you don't know what animals on a strange planet taste good or bad, fish is a relatively safe choice. Its flesh is easier to handle than other animals, and it's less likely to have any strange fishy or gamey smells.

"It actually smells pretty good."

"Zinya sniffed and said."

"They should be ripe soon, right?"

Wei Ran heard her stomach rumbling.

"Ha, I thought all the proper Jedi Knights from the Jedi Temple were vegetarians."

Fu Qinghai smirked and said sarcastically.

"We're just too lazy to hunt."

Zinya spoke with considerable confidence.

"Eat your fill."

The fish skin was crispy and fragrant. Fu Qinghai tore off pieces of the still-hot, snow-white fish meat and handed them to the two women.

"Show us your true skills tomorrow."

"You mean you think you didn't teach well enough today?"

"I asked while eating the fish," Zinia asked.

"It's definitely lacking."

Fu Qinghai nodded and said.

Compared to the skills recorded in the Book of the Sith, the Force skills mastered by Jedi Knights are indeed less lethal, but that's just how it is.

"Can you sleep in the cargo hold tonight?"

Wei Ran ate the fish in small bites and asked:

"Our spaceship is relatively small. The passenger cabin only has beds for me and Nia, so you'll have to sleep on the floor in the cargo hold."

"I can sleep anywhere."

Fu Qinghai said with an indifferent expression.

He can sleep even in the jungle.

Oh, they've started caring about it now.

Qi Nia glanced at Wei Ran sideways and thought to herself:
It seems my advice was unnecessary.

After the three finished eating the fish, they returned to the spaceship.

……

The next morning, sunlight pierced through the thin mist.

The meadow outside the spaceship was still dotted with dewdrops.

Two women and one man had already stood on the grass.

The two women from different ethnic groups held hands with their eyes slightly closed, seemingly preparing for something. After a moment, they opened their eyes and stared at Fu Qinghai with their beautiful eyes.

"You're tired, sit down and rest for a while."

The two women said in unison.

There seemed to be some kind of power hidden in the voice.

Upon hearing this, Fu Qinghai instinctively reached to sit down, his knees just bending, when he suddenly realized what he was doing, stopped, and abruptly looked up at the two people in front of him, exclaiming in surprise:
"Mind control by the Force?"

"Yes."

Wei Ran smiled and nodded, saying:
"We used the Force Connection to amplify the power of Force Mind Control, affecting you for at least half a second."

"Force connection, interesting."

Fu Qinghai stroked his chin, deep in thought.

Multiple Jedi Knights achieved a high degree of mental fusion through Force Link, which greatly enhanced the power of their Force abilities. Just now, for example, Zinya's Force Mind Control originally had no effect on Fu Qinghai, but the two of them used it together through Force Link, and almost made Fu Qinghai obey their command.

"Is this your trump card?"

Fu Qinghai looked at the two women and asked.

"of course not."

Wei Ran shook his head and said:

"Please watch carefully."

After saying that, she closed her eyes, focused her mind and began to activate her skill. As ripples spread across her cheeks, her skin color, appearance, hair, height and body shape changed rapidly... Soon, Wei Ran transformed into a short, fat, and unshaven middle-aged human male. This man blinked and looked up at Fu Qinghai.

"how is it?"

Her voice also changed to a man's voice.

"Physical disguise."

Zinya was responsible for explaining and clarifying the situation from the side:

"This is an extremely difficult Force skill. If we hadn't mastered it, it would have been very difficult for us to pass through the checkpoints set up by the Empire. It was precisely because of this Force skill that we avoided several pursuit attempts by the Imperial Inquisitors."

The short, stout middle-aged man also added:

"This skill is not only complex and difficult to execute, but maintaining it also requires the user to concentrate all their attention and provide a continuous supply of Force. With my current Force level, I can only maintain it for a maximum of five minutes."

"IMHO."

Fu Qinghai scratched his chin and said:

"Isn't this... a Sith mask?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Niya was slightly taken aback.

"It does indeed work on the same principle as the Sith mask."

Zinya nodded in agreement:

"They all use the Force to change their physical bodies."

The Sith Mask was a Force ability Palpatine used to conceal his withered and distorted appearance, a result of prolonged use of the dark side of the Force. As Wei Ran stated, maintaining this physical transformation required focused attention and a constant supply of Force power, so Palpatine eventually stopped pretending and directly claimed that the Jedi rebellion had disfigured his face, leaving him in that inhuman, grotesque state.

"Can I transform into other animals?"

Fu Qinghai then raised a new question:

“A crow, a worm, or something else.”

"That won't work."

Zinya shook her head and denied it:

"It can only be altered within the scope of humanoid beings—and the greater the alteration, the more Force is required."

"I understand."

Fu Qinghai nodded noncommittally.

At this moment, Wei Ran also reverted to her original appearance.

"Don't you think this skill is incredibly powerful?"

Qi Niya looked at Fu Qinghai and asked seriously:
"You can completely transform into a different person!"

"Hmm, not bad, not bad, pretty strong."

Fu Qinghai couldn't bear to discourage them either.

After all, they brought out their "best of the best" items.

I have to give them some face and agree with them.

…………

A figure was moving through the dense forest and valley.

Fu Qinghai was running alone through the jungle at that moment.

They run and jump while using different skills.

Fu Qinghai's Force skills currently come from three sources: Jedi, Sith, and the Night Sisters.

Traditional classifications of Force skills typically categorize them into light-side skills, dark-side skills, and general skills that are neither light nor dark. Fu Qinghai dislikes this classification method, finding the criteria vague and overly subjective.

For example, Force Lightning is one of the representative skills of the dark side, but in the Star Wars Legends universe, Jedi Knights can also use the Force to generate lightning to attack others, only the power is slightly weaker than Force Lightning, but it is given a different name, "Force Judgment", which feels like a deliberate attempt to distance itself from the Sith, and seems very redundant.

Similarly, the Force Chokehold is essentially no different from the Force Push or Force Lift, just another slightly more complex application of telekinesis. However, because it appears rather cruel, it is also labeled as a dark side skill. Jedi Knights do not fall into the dark side simply by using the Force Chokehold; this classification method is far too subjective.

Because the Dark Night Sisters have an additional "Soul Elixir" as a material for unleashing their Force abilities, some of their Force skills have developed a unique and distinctive style. They also employ a unique classification method, categorizing their Force skills according to the God of Fangs and the Goddess of Wings. However, in Fu Qinghai's view, this classification method is still too primitive and lacks clear standards.

Because Fu Qinghai learned three different schools of Force skills at the same time, he quickly realized that many different Force skills actually had similar principles, or were even just different ways of naming the same Force skill.

For example, the Jedi's so-called "physical disguise" is actually the "Sith mask" commonly used by Sith warriors; the Night Sisters' so-called "Sullian Roar" is actually the Jedi's "Force Roar"; and the Night Sisters' so-called "Tide of Thorns" is actually the Jedi's "Force Growth".

To avoid confusion, Fu Qinghai decided to standardize all the skill names and rename them in a concise and objective manner. At the same time, Fu Qinghai reviewed all the Force skills he possessed and decided to reclassify them based on the psionic classification method in the Warhammer 40K universe, believing that this classification standard was clearer and more objective.

The following are the Force skills he currently possesses:
I. Telekinetic or force field types.

Force Push, Force Lift, Force Grab, Force Choke, Force Barrier, Force Blind, Force Throw, Inertial Acceleration, Force Suction Cup (Golden Touch), Force Acceleration (Tuchal Speed), Force Roar (Sullian Roar).

All of the above skills are based on the use of mental power. Except for Force Blindness, which creates a bright flash of light, and Force Roar, which generates a huge sound wave, most of the other skills are silent, invisible, colorless, and odorless when they are released.

II. Physical beings, or life forms.

Force Healing, Force Detoxification, Force Lightning, Force Convection, Force Freezing, Life Drain, Body Disguise, Force Regeneration (Life of Ufa), Force Smell (Sense of Schwitter), Force Hearing (Ear of Zirotex).

Using the Force to manipulate and change life, whether it's changing oneself or other animals and plants, all fall into this category, which mainly involves the theory of the Force of Life.

Jedi Knights also have two Force abilities called Sense Enhancement and Vital Enhancement. Essentially, these are ways to use the Force to strengthen the body and improve the five senses. They are passive effects resulting from Force training. This enhancement is more subtle and gradual, unlike the Night Sisters' use of Soul Elixir to strengthen the body.

The skill name "Force Freeze" is not quite accurate. It doesn't actually use Force to lower body temperature. Fu Qinghai believes a more appropriate name would be "Life Loss," corresponding to the advanced skill "Life Drain." This skill causes the enemy's life to deplete, and lowering body temperature is one of the manifestations of this.

Fu Qinghai had once read a secret document: Imperial researchers had dissected the bodies of those killed by Darth Vader using the Force's chokehold technique and discovered that the cause of death was not entirely asphyxiation, but also extensive organ failure. Now it seems that Vader likely used the Force's freezing ability simultaneously with the chokehold.

The advanced skill of Force Freeze is Life Drain, which absorbs lost life into one's own body. The advanced skill of Life Drain is Death Domain, which turns Life Drain into an AOE skill, creating a space that absorbs life.

Fu Qinghai cannot use the Death Domain yet, but he knows that in the Star Wars Legends universe, Darth Nerius, one of the three Sith Lords, nicknamed "The Scar of the Force," has the Death Domain as his signature ability. His Death Domain can even cover an entire planet, and this Sith Lord once drained all life from a planet.

Third, mental or thinking-related categories.

Force perception, language comprehension, Force mind control, Force animal control, Force empathy, Force connection, Force hypnosis.

Compared to telekinetic and physical skills, Fu Qinghai doesn't possess many mental skills. This is partly because Jedi Knights don't delve deeply into these skills, and partly because the Sith Book records only names of these skills without specific methods of activation.

Being fluent in languages ​​is a common Force ability that allows Jedi to understand what the other person is trying to say even if they don't understand the language. It is essentially a direct communication of thoughts. However, it does not work on robots, as being fluent in languages ​​does not allow them to understand the binary language spoken by robots.

Force empathy differs from Force perception, which perceives the surrounding environment. Force empathy senses the inner emotions of others. This skill is highly mystical; for those one cares deeply about, or those with whom one shares a blood relationship, one can even sense intense emotional fluctuations across galaxies.

Force Link allows multiple Jedi to work together to amplify the range or power of other abilities they unleash. The Force Link itself isn't particularly difficult; the challenge lies in finding those who share your mind and will, which is largely a matter of fate.

Force hypnosis, the same Force skill that Old Dakka and Siri used on Fu Qinghai. It cannot be cast from a distance; it requires fingertip contact with the forehead, and its effectiveness is greatly reduced for those with strong willpower.

IV. Time-based or prophetic categories.

Force warning.

Fu Qinghai's only time-related skill is Force Warning, or Force Prediction. It's an incredibly powerful Force skill, almost like a bug. Once mastered to a certain level, it not only allows one to foresee impending dangers but also to anticipate all unfavorable events that will occur in the future.

However, Fu Qinghai was restraining himself from relying too much on the Force's warnings, because he knew very well that Palpatine had become overconfident because of his powerful Force predictive abilities. He failed to anticipate that Vader would suddenly attack him from behind while he was electrocuting Luke, which led to his demise.

V. Soul Category.

The Force shapes, bloodstains are traced, the Force curses.

Soul-based Force skills, also known as soul magic by the Night Sisters, require the ability to sense souls and a firm belief in the existence of the soul world to be used.

Blood Tracking is Asajj Ventress's most frequently used tracking skill, essentially searching for the marked soul. Force Curse is the insidious and deadly technique Matron Tarzin used to torment Count Dooku, making it incredibly difficult to defend against.

The above is Fu Qinghai's redefined five Force classification systems and all the Force skills he has mastered. Almost all Force skills appearing in the Star Wars canon universe, including the legendary universe, can be categorized into this system.

…………

A secluded valley deep within the vast forest.

Vines entwine the perilous cliffs, the empty mountains are secluded and quiet, with only the sound of the stream heard
Fu Qinghai closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the boulder.

I am restoring my energy through Force meditation.

Even with his Force level, using all the Force skills he knew still left him exhausted and dizzy, so he chose a place to meditate.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Fu Qinghai slowly opened his eyes.

Like the reclusive masters described in all martial arts novels, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

…………
