Genius

Quiet Room.

After Qin Gang said he did not want anyone else disturbing his teaching, Elder Jiang readily provided this empty quiet room and left with Jiang Chengcheng.

After entering the quiet room, Qin Gang did not speak immediately. In Su Hao's eyes, dense Aura suddenly radiated from around Qin Gang's brawny body as he closed his eyes. He then slowly walked through every corner of the quiet room. Only after repeating this twice did Qin Gang withdraw his Aura.

Having finished his inspection, Qin Gang brought his palms together and clapped. "All right, I've checked the surroundings. There are no listening devices. Ordinary people can't sense Aura anyway, but you can release yours now."

Hearing this, Su Hao nodded and began to mobilize the Wave Power flowing through his body.

From Qin Gang's perspective, countless blue specks of light began appearing around Su Hao, who had seemed utterly ordinary at first.

In just a few breaths, the blue specks swiftly filled the entire quiet room, even seeming poised to extend beyond the walls.

At the sight before him, even the usually composed Qin Gang's mind blanked for a moment.

After barely calming his violently pounding heart, Qin Gang placed both hands on Su Hao's shoulders and solemnly invited him to join the Aura School.

"Perhaps you don't understand how astonishing this is, but I need to tell you: you are the person with the greatest Aura Talent our Aura Clan has seen in nearly a hundred years."

The Aura Su Hao was currently emitting was also something Qin Gang had never seen in his more than thirty years of experience. Humans did not possess Pokémon's outstanding energy talents and physical constitutions. Even after awakening Special Abilities such as Aura or Psychic-type powers, apart from a tiny handful of geniuses, the vast majority of humans with awakened Special Abilities could not fight Pokémon head-on.

Such immense Aura, supplemented by the secret manuals passed down through generations of their Aura Clan.

It might easily cultivate an Aura Wielder who could battle Professional Level and Gym Level Pokémon with a human body alone.

"As someone who awakened Wave Power on his own without ever undergoing related training, and whose Aura was already far stronger upon awakening than mine after years of practice, you are undoubtedly a genius when it comes to Aura!"

Qin Gang then explained just how powerful Su Hao's current Wave Power was and expressed his hope that Su Hao could join the Aura School. He was confident he could enable Su Hao to match Professional Level and Gym Level Pokémon physically within ten years.

Although battling Pokémon with his bare body was certainly tempting, Su Hao still politely declined Qin Gang's invitation.

After all, he wanted to be a Trainer, not a Martial Artist.

Qin Gang was somewhat taken aback by Su Hao's refusal, but he was not angry.

Qin Gang took a handbook from his backpack and handed it to Su Hao. "It is regrettable that you are unwilling to join the Aura School, but I understand. After all, many young people like you hope to develop as Trainers. Even many members of our clan have chosen to use Aura to assist in battle and have achieved results."

"Whatever the case, I hope you can accept these Aura Insights. Consider it making a friend."

Facing the handbook Qin Gang offered, Su Hao understood that Qin Gang wanted to build a good relationship with him. He did not refuse and accepted it directly.

After accepting the insights, Su Hao chatted with Qin Gang for a while, and they exchanged contact information.

After saying goodbye to Jiang Chengcheng and her grandfather, Elder Jiang, Su Hao left the Flowing Water Dojo with Qin Gang.

After parting ways with Qin Gang, who was headed in a different direction, Su Hao held the Aura Insights in his arms, reading through them as he poked at the system.

Su Hao was very puzzled. Why had the system only given him beginner-level Wave Power when Qin Gang found this ability so extraordinary?

The system's emotionless mechanical voice answered Su Hao's question.

[Because the host already possesses the potential to become an Aura Wielder, the system's beginner-level Wave Power only provides the awakening. How powerful the awakened ability becomes depends entirely on the host himself.]

[According to the system's scan, even after awakening, the host's own Aura is still constantly growing. It is estimated that after half a month of natural growth, the host's beginner-level Wave Power will advance to Intermediate Aura Power.]

At first, Su Hao had thought that Qin Gang had been so eager to invite him because the strength of the Wave Power granted by the system had exceeded expectations.

He had not expected it to be because he himself possessed such exceptional aptitude for Wave Power.

During their casual conversation, Qin Gang had mentioned that no one in their clan had yet completely mastered all the techniques recorded in the Aura Insights.

Qin Gang himself was already considered one of the Aura Clan's outstanding figures in recent years. In his thirties, he could already use Externalized Aura to form a Detection Field around himself.

Most people's Wave Power could only strengthen their physiques and let them communicate with Pokémon.

Qin Gang said he had only seen Aura like Su Hao's, capable of detecting everything within dozens of meters around him, in records.

In any case, today's goal had been achieved. The Aura Insights recorded many methods for using Aura and training techniques.

Detection and Telepathy were two things Su Hao had been able to do ever since awakening Wave Power.

The insights also recorded methods for learning to condense Aura into Aura Bullets. There were even techniques for using Aura to enhance a Pokémon's Aura, increasing its Combat Power, and even allowing Pokémon that could not use Aura Bullets to use them while in a Synchronized state.

However, the book explained that both abilities required extremely powerful Aura to achieve. Otherwise, the Aura Clan would have long produced many powerful Trainers instead of cultivating martial arts.
