Power Progression
The following milestones trace Jiang Fu’s development as a user of Mental Strength. Some values were temporarily increased by Multiply by Ten.
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mental Strength: 100 | 4 5 | The stat appeared after Jiang Fu multiplied his physique. He noticed clearer, more agile thinking. |
| Mental Strength: 1,000 | 5 10 | A temporary tenfold boost let him move objects and perceive a ten-meter radius. A certification device later measured him at 1,000. |
| Mental cultivation: Silken Rain Chapter, 0.1% | 30 | Jiang Fu began cultivating Star Gazing Chart on a Rainy Night; his depleted Spirit Power rose from 926 to 927. |
| Spirit Power: 1,005 | 43 45 | Cultivation raised his Spirit Power above 1,000. Jiang Fu identified himself as an Intermediate Mentalist. |
| Silken Rain Chapter: 100% | 56 | Jiang Fu multiplied his cultivation progress from 10% to completion, gaining Sword Rain Continuous and Rain Intent. |
| Spirit Power: 1,600 | 63 | He measured 1,600 at his school’s Spirit Power test. |
| Intermediate Mentalist: 8,880 Spirit Power | 207 | His system panel displayed this value after he used a Lesser Origin Pill and multiplied his recovery. |
| Transcendent qualification | 246 | His Spirit Power reached 1,066, or 10,660 when multiplied by ten. Shi Jiu advised refining it alongside Blood Energy to reach Return-to-Truth directly. |
| Initial Return-to-Truth Realm | 249 | His panel showed the Downpour Chapter at 100%, with One Sword Severing Heaven and Rain Momentum. |
Mentalist ranks
| Rank | Spirit Power | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner Mentalist | 100–1,000 | First listed Mentalist tier. |
| Intermediate Mentalist | 1,000–10,000 | Jiang Fu considered himself Intermediate at 1,005 Spirit Power. |
| Advanced Mentalist | Above 10,000 | Reaching this level gives a cultivator the qualification to break through to Transcendent. |
| Transcendent | — | Spirit Power is developed into psychokinesis; at Return-to-Truth, psychokinesis and true qi merge. |
The stated numerical ranges meet at 1,000; the text does not clarify which rank owns that exact boundary 31 45 246 915.
Nature and Use
Mental Strength is a measurable power used by Psychics, a scarce branch of special Martial Artists. Jiang Fu’s research places Psychics below Sequence Martial Artists but above ordinary Martial Artists in status 7 8 10.
- Measurement: A certification device reads Mental Strength when the user focuses it into a hand placed on its touchscreen 10.
- Cultivation: Mental cultivation methods can increase and restore Spirit Power. Jiang Fu cultivated Star Gazing Chart on a Rainy Night, which he raised from High-grade Heavenly Rank to Extreme Dao 22 30.
- Transcendence: Once Spirit Power exceeds 10,000, a cultivator can draw the world’s spiritual energy into the body and develop psychokinesis 915.
Abilities and Skills
Perception
A Psychic can spread Mental Strength outward to sense their surroundings without relying on sight or hearing 5.
- Jiang Fu’s initial field at 1,000 Mental Strength was a sphere with a ten-meter radius. It passed through hospital walls, but could not reveal events outside its range 5.
- He temporarily multiplied that radius to 100 meters. The city wall nevertheless blocked his mental probing 12.
- Spirit Power can detect another Psychic’s power, though Xu Yunfeng could not sense Jiang Fu’s stronger Spirit Power 43 45.
Remote Control
Mental Strength acts like an invisible hand, allowing its user to manipulate objects at a distance 5.
- Jiang Fu simultaneously floated and rapidly moved ten oranges around his hospital room 5.
- He opened locks and operated a computer’s mouse and keyboard remotely 7.
- He controlled sabers and a flying sword in combat, including guiding a saber underground toward a Mutated Beast 17 36.
- A living Martial Artist’s saber resisted Jiang Fu’s Mental Strength through its owner’s qi-and-blood aura; after the owner died, Jiang Fu could take it 15.
Psychics can also launch mental attacks, according to the information Jiang Fu found online 7.
Basic Spirit Power Techniques
| Technique | Application | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Mental Touch | Concentrates Spirit Power into a line for long-range reconnaissance or ambushes. Jiang Fu extended his field into a 500-meter line. | The user loses awareness in other directions while using it. |
| Mental Barrier | Conceals the user and reduces their presence. | No specific limit is stated. |
Both techniques are considered fundamentals for novice Psychic Masters 73.
Silken Rain Chapter Abilities
Jiang Fu gained these abilities by completing the Silken Rain Chapter of Star Gazing Chart on a Rainy Night 56.
- Sword Rain Continuous — An attack that costs 10 Spirit Power and deals damage 13 times.
- Rain Intent — A passive technique that restores 3 Spirit Power per second.
By the Initial Return-to-Truth Realm, his panel listed their evolved forms: One Sword Severing Heaven, which combines the thirteen strikes into one, and Rain Momentum, which restores five percent of psychokinesis and true qi per second 249.
Limits and Consumption
- Reaction speed: Jiang Fu concluded that both bodily and Mental Strength reactions were limited by nerve reaction speed, and multiplied it to improve his response time 8.
- Detection is not infallible: His Spirit Power failed to detect an Azure Flame Owl before it seized its prey 25.
- Multiply by Ten: Jiang Fu’s experiments indicated that using the ability on powerful living beings consumed Mental Strength, while using it on lifeless objects or weak living things did not. Multiplying a corpse’s leg consumed none 15 16.
- Cost varies: Jiang Fu observed a one-point cost for a 0.1-second multiplication and ten points for a permanent one in his early tests. Using the ability on a Level 2 Silver Moon Wolf cost him 60 Spirit Power 15 20.
Later Significance
While watching Great Red Heaven fight using condensed Blood Energy and Spirit Power, Jiang Fu wondered whether those foundational powers could provide a path to godhood outside the established martial arts system 915.
