Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 11 Invitation

Every person with a mental mutation is a born mentally gifted individual.

At this moment, Ji Fuyou deeply understood the meaning of those words.

Those who wish to meditate and refine their spirit need to enter a state of extreme stillness, experiencing a boundless and ethereal dynamic state, in order to access spiritual power.

And over the long years, it has gradually refined its spirit, condensing it into a single strand.

Having a wisp of spiritual power signifies success in spiritual refinement and qualifies one for the title of a junior spiritual power user.

Just like a martial artist who has developed internal strength.

Of course, there is another way, which is to refine the source crystal.

Forcibly push the spirit scale to above 10.

With a little training, one can master mental power.

Ji Fuyou himself...

Obviously the latter.

"Refining the spirit is essentially about tempering one's mind and will time and time again, and then breaking through oneself through life and death. Although my dreams are dreams, they are so real that they are like personal experiences. Over the past four years, I have died hundreds of times, and my spirit is as firm as a rock. Therefore, my spirit level is at least 10 or higher."

Ji Fuyou made a guess in his mind.

At least 10 or more, or even 11, 12, or 13.

"I've developed mental strength."

Ji Fuyou carefully sensed...

With a single thought, he activated it, and in an instant, his perception of the outside world became more acute than ever before.

The room was filled with the buzzing of mosquitoes, the rustling of cockroaches crawling on the floor, the whistling of clothes in the wind through the window, the casual conversation of the couple next door, and the sounds of cars driving by downstairs...

The sound reaches my ears.

"That's... amazing!"

Ji Fuyou's eyes were bright.

This kind of supernatural ability is far more mysterious than the physical strength of a martial artist.
Moreover, in this state, would engaging in a life-or-death struggle with the enemy be twice as effective?
For example, he killed that leopard-man...

His unparalleled prediction of the leopard-man's attack trajectory made it seem as if the leopard-man had run right into the tip of his crowbar, killing it instantly.

In a way, this is a technical application that combines spirit and experience.

Humans, as carbon-based life forms, are made of flesh and blood and have a limit to their existence.

But mental fortitude...

Endless.

"If my guess is correct, my mental strength is far more than 10 points. One strand of mental power is not my limit. As long as I have the right method to refine my spirit, I can cultivate a second, third, and even a fourth strand of mental power in a short period of time..."

Ji Fuyou looked at the description of the intermediate-level mental energy user: "Once you have enough mental energy, you can melt it into mist, making it more condensed and powerful."

This is an intermediate-level mental energy user.

While a novice psychic can only hypnotize their target, an intermediate psychic can subtly influence others' emotions and control their joys and sorrows.

For example, having an intermediate-level spiritualist assist a student with their homework makes it easy to guide them into a state of complete concentration.

If you can infect a martial artist with your emotions, you can make him soar to new heights of fighting spirit and ignite his passion for battle.

He can even guide those spiritual practitioners who are unable to enter a meditative state to quickly enter a meditative state and empty their minds.

Because of these abilities, intermediate-level mental energy users have become frequent guests in the homes of many wealthy and powerful individuals.

Above that—a high-level mental ability user.

Intermediate-level spiritual beings can influence others' emotions and guide them into a meditative state, but they must also ensure that the other party does not have antagonistic emotions or be fully on guard, otherwise there is a risk of spiritual backlash.

However, advanced mental abilities have already gained the ability to forcibly shake the mind and will of others.

Even with precautions, one could still be persuaded by a few words from a high-level psychic, gain their trust, and sign contracts that are extremely detrimental to oneself.

The sheer power of such an existence is enough to make people tremble with fear.

While reviewing the information, Ji Fuyou also came across a piece of gossip.

Three years ago, before the supernatural abilities of spiritual beings became widely known, the heir of a large family in Chuzhou gave away all his family property to a woman named Liu Ruyan. Despite being beaten and humiliated by her, he remained steadfast in his loyalty, losing billions in the process.

It was later discovered that Liu Ruyan's real boyfriend was a high-level psychic, and that he was the one behind everything.

This shows how terrifying a high-level mental ability user can be.

"Compared to martial artists, spiritual beings are quite rare, especially high-level spiritual beings. Major cities in the Central Plains regard spiritual beings as high-level talents and grant them various preferential treatments..."

As Ji Fuyou was reviewing the documents, his phone suddenly rang.

I glanced at the number on it...

"Jiang Yubai?"

The owner of Longyuan Trading Company?

Considering the ten or twenty thousand yuan discount offered by the other party, he answered the phone. "Brother Ji, did I disturb your rest?"

"No, is there something you need, Mr. Jiang?"

"Haha, Brother Ji, isn't it a coincidence? I only found out today when I met and drank with Brother Pei Zhaoye that the tactical watch you sold me actually belongs to Brother Pei. After all this time, the watch is back in his hands. If you had told me earlier that you knew Brother Pei, I would have definitely bought it back at the original price."

Jiang Yubai said with a smile.

"It's a coincidence indeed."

Ji Fuyou replied.

"I'm with Brother Pei right now."

Jiang Yubai smiled and said, "Brother Ji, how about we go out for a drink together?"

Pei Zhaoye...

After a moment's thought, he agreed: "Where? I'll come over."

"How could I trouble you to come all by yourself, Brother Ji? Just give me an address and I'll have my driver pick you up."

"Send me your location, I'll go there myself, and it'll be quick."

"That's fine."

Jiang Yubai did not insist and quickly sent over the address.

Ji Fuyou glanced at it and saw it was a well-known high-end barbecue restaurant in the city.

It's not far, about three kilometers.

He went downstairs, hopped on his electric scooter, and arrived at the largest commercial center in the south of Xingguang City in ten minutes.

This place consists of a shopping mall and a 66-story office building. Although the foot traffic is not as high as in the core business district of the city center, there are still quite a few people coming and going.

Ji Fuyou took the elevator directly to the ninth floor, which is a sky garden located on the top floor of a business center.

He had taken photos here before, but as for eating here...

I don't have the money; I can't afford to spend it.

Ji Fuyou arrived at the barbecue restaurant, gave Jiang Yubai's name, and was quickly led to a private room.

Inside the private room, it seemed that only Jiang Yubai and Pei Zhaoye were present.

However, some details suggest that there were likely several other guests present at the time.

Through training, he developed a heightened sense of perception granted by his mental strength...

There was a lingering scent of perfume in the air, probably from their female companions.

However, because Ji Fuyou was coming, they were all sent away to avoid being impolite.

"Brother Ji is here."

Upon seeing Ji Fuyou enter, Pei Zhaoye immediately stood up: "Yesterday's incident was due to my people's offense. The circumstances were not appropriate. Now that I can see Brother Ji again, I will punish myself with three cups to apologize to Brother Ji."

"Captain Pei, you're too kind. The matter is over."

Ji Fuyou Road.

Pei Zhaoye exchanged pleasantries.

After warming up the atmosphere a bit, he got to the point: "Brother Ji must be wondering why I took the liberty of inviting you here."

"Kind of."

Ji Fuyou nodded truthfully.

After all, they weren't really familiar with each other.

"Brother Ji, how many spiritually capable individuals do you think have obtained professional titles in Xingguang City?"

Pei Zhaoye asked with a smile.

However, after asking the question, he realized that Ji Fuyou was also a newcomer to the industry, so he smiled and said, "Sixty-three people, and most of them are beginner-level mental ability users."

Sixty-three people?

"Of course, some people may have the strength of a psychic, but they have not gone to Zhongzhou for certification. However, all things considered, in Starlight City with a population of tens of millions, there are no more than a hundred psychic."

Ten million!

One hundred people!

Ji Fuyou's eyes narrowed slightly.

He knew that psychic beings were rare, but he never imagined that psychic beings with titles would be this rare.

One in ten thousand!?
"Compared to straightforward martial artists, the mysterious and unpredictable abilities of mental ability users pose a greater potential threat to society, and the country cannot ignore them."

Pei Zhaoye said, "After the pilot program of the Zhongzhou Spiritual Ability Association, the higher authorities intend to establish spiritual ability associations in various cities, select outstanding individuals in this field to serve as presidents, and grant them the highest level 7 positions. Our Xingguang City is no exception."

He paused, then said sincerely, "In Starlight City, there are four Level 3... that is, Deputy Senior Level Psychic Ability Users. I, Pei Zhaoye, am one of them. I contributed a lot to the establishment of the association, and I would like to compete for the position of president when it comes time."
