Testing Psychic Power

The two quickly arrived at the school gate.

However, what they saw before them left them both stunned.

Under the Wutong Tree at the school gate, Lin Qingqian, who was always as cold as frost, was standing side by side with Gu Ci.

The two were standing very close.

The morning light filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns on them, creating an atmosphere of indescribable tranquility and harmony.

Lin Qingqian didn't look at Gu Ci; her gaze drifted into the distance. But her dignified face lacked its usual decisiveness; instead, it carried a hint of dazedness.

Gu Ci, unusually, did not put on that deadpan expression; he simply stood quietly, his profile softening considerably in the morning light.

This scene is too bizarre.

Chen Fan's gaze instantly shattered this harmonious scene.

Gu Ci and Lin Qingqian were struck as if by lightning. They noticed their arrival almost simultaneously, and then each jumped back a step in perfect unison, as if they had rehearsed it.

"Cough!"

Gu Ci coughed lightly, forcibly resuming his expressionless demeanor, but his eyes darted away.

Lin Qingqian was even more direct, forcibly putting on a stern face, trying to use her authority to cover it up, but her slightly reddened ears completely betrayed her feelings at that moment.

The scene was extremely awkward at one point.

Seeing the two elders trying so hard to hide their true feelings, Chen Fan's smile deepened.

He grinned and muttered slowly in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone to hear:

"Master, Principal, you two are here so early in the morning... chatting and getting to know each other?"

Before he could finish speaking...

Gu Ci and Lin Qingqian's expressions both froze.

A vein throbbed on Gu Ci's forehead, and he suddenly felt an urge to beat his student to death, but in the end, Gu Ci restrained himself.

Lin Qingqian was filled with shame and anger, and her elegant and noble face instantly turned bright red.

She glared at Gu Ci fiercely, then forced herself to straighten her back, trying to use the principal's authority to cover everything up, but her already bright red ears completely betrayed her.

The atmosphere was so awkward it was almost palpable.

In order to escape this deadly situation, Gu Ci suddenly remembered something and forcibly changed the subject in an almost abrupt tone.

"Hey, didn't you want to know if you have a talent for Mental Power?"

He spoke faster, pointing to a domed building in the distance that shimmered with soft white light in the morning glow.

"Principal Lin's school boasts the most advanced Psychic Power Sensing Laboratory in the entire Jiangdong Region, which is perfect for you to have your mental energy tested."

Lin Qingqian also wanted to end this farce as soon as possible, so she just snorted coldly upon hearing this, which was taken as a pre-arranged response.

She didn't want to stand with Gu Ci for even a second longer, so she turned around and said in an icy voice, "Follow me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she strode away, walking towards the white building without looking back.

Gu Ci touched his nose and followed.

Chen Fan grinned, pulled the still clueless Shen Xuan along, and swaggered to the back.

The group quickly arrived at the futuristic, technologically advanced Psychic Power Sensing Laboratory.

Pushing open the heavy Alloy Gate, the scene inside made Chen Fan slightly taken aback.

This is not the cold, impersonal space of a typical laboratory, but rather a simulated, vast starry dome, with countless Stars slowly revolving overhead, filled with mystery and tranquility.

In the center of the laboratory, a huge Crystal Ball with a diameter of over three meters floats silently, its surface as smooth as a mirror, and inside it seems as if nebulae are flowing.

Su Qingyue was already waiting there. Dressed in a pure white Training Uniform, she stood beside the Crystal Ball, appearing even more aloof and otherworldly.

Seeing the group enter, and especially noticing the extremely strange atmosphere between her teacher and Gu Ci, she simply bowed silently without uttering a word.

Lin Qingqian had now fully regained her principal's authority.

She wanted to showcase the school's strong academic foundation, and also to give Chen Fan a hard time.

"Qingyue, you demonstrate."

She gave a calm command.

"Yes, teacher."

Su Qingyue nodded, stepped forward slowly, and gently placed her slender, fair hand on the huge Crystal Ball.

Buzz!

In an instant, it was as if billions of Stars inside the Crystal Ball were ignited simultaneously!

A dazzling eight-colored light erupted, transforming into a thick pillar of light that shot into the sky, directly hitting the dome! The entire laboratory was illuminated by this magnificent light, making it resemble Divine Domain!

On the Light Screen beside them, data streamed rapidly, eventually settling into two large golden characters.

Eight-Star!

A genuine sense of pride finally appeared on Lin Qingqian's face.

She looked at Chen Fan, who was staring in astonishment, her voice tinged with a hint of pride.

"Mental Power is divided into Nine-Star. One-Star is the lowest, Nine-Star is the highest."

"One to three stars is barely enough to qualify as Psychic Master, nothing more. Four to six stars already make one a pillar of the Psychic Master in the Human Federation. Seven stars is genius. And Qingyue's Eight-Star potential is extremely rare, even among the younger generation of the entire Blue Star Federation!"

These words left Shen Xuan, who was standing to the side, deeply moved. His gaze toward Su Qingyue was filled with shock and awe.

Chen Fan listened with envy.

He turned his head to look at Shen Xuan, who stood beside him in shock, a mischievous smile playing on his lips, "Brother Shen Xuan, don't just stand there watching, it's your turn."

"Me?" Shen Xuan jolted, shaking his head vigorously. "No, no, no, Brother Chen Fan, my Martial Dao Talent is decent, I never thought of testing this, so I won't embarrass myself."

He was self-aware; his strength lay in Martial Dao, so why humiliate himself in such a place?

However, Gu Ci and Lin Qingqian's gazes were both fixed on him at that moment.

Stared at by the two big shots, Shen Xuan felt his scalp tingle and couldn't bring himself to refuse. He could only grit his teeth and reluctantly walk up to them.

He took a deep breath and, as if heading to his execution, placed his palm on the Crystal Ball.

One second, two seconds...

The Crystal Ball did not react.

Just as Shen Xuan's handsome face began to flush red, and he was about to awkwardly withdraw his hand, two faint lights slowly lit up inside the Crystal Ball, one blue and one white, so dim that they seemed to be about to go out at any moment.

The results then appeared on the Light Screen.

[Two-Star]

Lin Qingqian merely glanced at it and said, "Two-Star is better than One-Star. If my Martial Dao cultivation advances further in the future, I can also improve my Psychic Master cultivation!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan nodded; he did have some understanding of this point.

In fact, people with high Martial Dao skills are usually also Psychic Masters, because as Martial Dao improve, Mental Power will also increase.

It's just that they are very different from proper Psychic Master.

With Su Qingyue's brilliant example preceding her and Shen Xuan's worthless one following her, this stark contrast gave everyone a more direct understanding of the rarity of Mental Power talent.

In the end, all eyes were on Chen Fan.
