Developing Psychokinesis (Part 1)

Moonlight shone brightly, and the starry sky glittered.

Luo Han and Cole sat on Green Cliff, each lost in their own thoughts.

"Let's head back, Cole."

Luo Han stood up from the grass, stretched, and said, "I've already found my own path. Once I successfully develop my power, I'll definitely give you a huge surprise. Haha!"

"Ah... okay, Brother Han!" Cole wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth!

Uh! Luo Han facepalmed!

"Let's go back and sleep!"

"Mhm, mhm!"

Luo Han got up very early in the morning.

Meditation! Although he did not know whether it would help his Fruit power, Luo Han believed it would. Starting today, he would get up every morning and meditate for two hours.

..., Two hours passed quickly, but he gained nothing.

By then, Grandma Mo had finished preparing breakfast. After eating,

Luo Han went to Cole's house, called Cole out, and headed to the plaza for morning training.

At the plaza, Luo Han carefully sensed the changes Scale Fruit underwent in his body when paired with Military Fist.

It turned out that the reason he had become skin and bones after practicing Military Fist yesterday was because of the guidance of his Mind Power.

Luo Han had discovered another trait of the Mind Fruit's power.

Although the Mind Fruit could not directly affect reality outside the body, it could affect the Fruit user's own body.

The most obvious manifestation was that it allowed him to perceive the changes in his body with great clarity and even provide a certain degree of guidance.

The reason Luo Han had overdeveloped yesterday was that the Mind Fruit's guidance had accelerated the Scale Fruit's transformation of his body.

The Scale Fruit's actual transformation process was gradual. Under normal circumstances, even with Rainbow Light Fish to replenish him, it would take several years.

Yet under the Mind Fruit's guidance, Luo Han had completed in one morning what others would take a year to achieve.

His body's energy could not keep up, so it could only draw from his body itself to make up the difference.

This time, therefore, Luo Han no longer subconsciously allowed his Mind Power to guide the Scale Fruit's transformation as he had yesterday.

Instead, he guided it slowly and stopped once his energy was nearly depleted. Even so, Luo Han soon completed today's transformation quota.

So when Luo Han stopped, everyone else was still training. There were still two hours before the session ended!

"Brother Rhine," Luo Han said as he walked over to him.

"I feel like my body has reached its limit. If I keep training, I'll end up like I did yesterday!"

"How could that be? Didn't you only end up that way because you did extra training yesterday?" Brother Rhine stopped.

I'm helpless too! Luo Han wore a pained expression!

Luo Han said, "Yesterday afternoon, Uncle Witt said my body's natural talent was too poor! That's why I can't practice my forms for long."

"Is that so? This is the first time I've encountered something like this!" Brother Rhine's face was filled with surprise.

"Then go back first."

"Okay, I'll be going."

After telling Cole, Luo Han headed back alone. The others in the plaza watched him leave early, their faces full of confusion!

When he got home, it was still early! Grandma Mo had not returned yet.

Luo Han saw several wooden sticks used for starting fires in the house, so he took out two and studied them.

He closed his eyes and tried using Observation Haki to sense them..., but it did not work!

It seemed only Roger's Observation Haki could hear the voices—or rather, sense the auras—of inanimate objects.

Luo Han thought about the concept of psychokinesis. It was a force created when one's thoughts acted upon reality. To achieve such power, the most important thing was thought itself.

In Luo Han's view, if Observation Haki could reach the level of All-Hearing, then manifesting thoughts would become much easier.

Clearly! Even though he had awakened Observation Haki after eating the Mind Fruit,

Luo Han's talent was truly a little trashy. He had previously thought his talent was quite good.

Reality gave Luo Han a blow! As a transmigrator, his only cheat was having read a few more novels and watched a few more anime. He had no system and no godly talent.

Back to the point!

Directly manifesting thoughts was too vague and very difficult to succeed at. Luo Han had tried it before, desperately imagining the concept of psychokinesis before using the Mind Fruit's power to construct psychokinesis.

But he had failed. It always felt as though he lacked a direction—or rather, a path.

Luo Han felt that Mind Manifestation might first require manifesting a particular trait of the ability as guidance. That would raise the chances of success.

Analyzing psychokinesis, according to Luo Han's understanding,

Psychokinesis could be divided into two kinds. The first was a force formed through thought acting upon an object. The second leaned more toward the Eastern concept of object control, directly infusing thought into an object and turning it into something like an extra hand, allowing one to control it flexibly.

Both forms of psychokinesis shared one prerequisite: the manifestation of thought was crucial, but it was also the hardest part.

The first kind of psychokinesis had an additional step: the force formed by thought. How could thought turn into a force and act upon an object? Luo Han believed there should be some kind of medium for that conversion. If he found that medium, he could reverse-engineer the manifestation of thought.

But that medium would not be easy to find either!

Instead, the second kind of psychokinesis, where thought was infused into an object, gave Luo Han some inspiration.

If an object infused with thought became a part of one's body, then one should know the shape of that object.

Then, as long as Luo Han could use his mind to perceive an object's shape, that perception could become the concept of thought within the Mind Fruit's power and be manifested. That way, the thought itself would be manifested.

Having thought it through, Luo Han decided to pursue both paths at once. Whichever succeeded first would do.

First, he prepared two wooden sticks of different lengths. By combining his mind with Observation Haki, he would sense the wooden sticks and train this perception of shape.

Then there was...! He still had no clue what method he could use to find the medium through which thought became force.

Sigh! He would take it one step at a time!

By then, the sun had risen high. It was time to make lunch.

Luo Han busily prepared lunch with practiced ease.

At noon.

"Little Han, Grandma's back." As soon as Grandma Mo entered, she saw that Luo Han had already made lunch.

"Lunch is already ready. Little Han is such a good boy!" Grandma Mo smiled kindly.

"Hehe! Let's eat, Grandma Mo." Luo Han helped Grandma Mo sit down to eat.

After they finished eating, Luo Han and Cole arrived at the first-level plaza.

At that point, only a few uncles remained in the plaza. The rest had gone underwater.

After sitting in the plaza and waiting for about an hour, Uncle Witt came up.

Soon afterward, the others came up as well. Just like yesterday, each carried one or two Rainbow Light Fish.

"Keep it up, little Luo Han and little Cole! We uncles are waiting for your performance! Hahaha!" A group of disabled uncles laughed nearby, forming a distinctive sight.

Sigh! Everyone else was sparring, while Luo Han was the only one getting beaten up! This Luo Han was suffering inside!!!

The familiar scene played out again. Luo Han was done after only a few moves.

Yesterday, he could at least occasionally coordinate with Cole's attacks and harass Uncle Witt a little.

Now Luo Han could not even get involved! He could not participate at all. If he forced his way in, that old man would just blast him back out!

Cole's talent made Luo Han, who saw himself as the protagonist of this transmigrator story, deeply envious.

"Luo Han, from now on, you should develop your Fruit power on the side." Uncle Witt had also realized that Luo Han had not yet reached the standard for special training.

"No one on the island can help you develop your Fruit. It's up to you."

"Alright, I understand, Uncle Witt," Luo Han replied listlessly.

Next, Luo Han took out two wooden sticks of different sizes, closed his eyes, and used Observation Haki in combination with the Mind Fruit's power to sense the shapes of the wooden sticks.
