Psychic Power

Biodata

Power Progression

History

Lu Xuan first notices Psychic Power when money rises and moves according to his will. A fruit knife responds as well, giving him a means of self-defense before he becomes a Martial Artist. He later discovers that a manual he bought trains Mental Power rather than blood and qi 4 5.

Dew Star Grass produces his first measured breakthrough and changes how he understands the power: beyond detecting surroundings, it lets him grasp details, flaws, and openings in combat. He subsequently prioritizes mind-related Spiritual Items alongside his martial cultivation 15. Later gains come from an energy source removed from Qin Wuyyao’s mind, mind-enhancing Spiritual Items, and energy sacs from mutated lizards 60 92 103.

After encounters that expose the limits of ordinary mental detection, Lu Xuan pursues Space Exploration. He reaches it while enduring the void’s destructive effects, using Psychic Power to perceive and control space itself 88 123.

Abilities & Skills

Perception

• Detects life signs and approaching threats; it alerts Lu Xuan to an ambushing Ghost-faced Monkey that he had missed by searching normally 7.
• Scans people, objects, and terrain, including the contents of a storage ring and Spiritual Items within his range 30 130.
• Helps him identify combat openings and assess Martial Skills 15 92.
• Is not infallible: sufficiently unusual or powerful targets can elude a scan or resist its effects 59 88 130.

Telekinesis

• Moves and reshapes objects without contact, including blades, scrap metal, and even bullets already in flight 5 7 10.
• Can focus force on a weapon’s point of impact. Against the Blazing Horned Lion, Lu Xuan drives a dagger through a weak spot and controls it inside the monster’s body 10.
• Provides flight by lifting the blade on which he stands; observers mistake the feat for a Martial Dao Grandmaster’s Imperial Flight 15.

Mental Interference

• Lu Xuan calls his attempt to control another person soul-snatching. His test on Lu Ying lasts less than a minute, consumes substantial Mental Power, and cannot yet give him complete control 21.
• He can interfere with visual judgment to help maintain a disguise and can briefly suppress the energy affecting Qin Wuyyao’s consciousness 37 60.
• Living people’s thoughts resist being manipulated like inanimate objects. Modified humans with weakened minds prove more vulnerable, while sustained suppression remains exhausting even after his later breakthroughs 50 130 131.

Space Exploration

• At the threshold of this level, concentrated Psychic Power can make a confined area of space tremble 116.
• After his breakthrough, Lu Xuan perceives space as a form of energy that Psychic Power can control. This is distinct from having learned to travel safely through the void 123.

Limitations

• The Virtual Combat Platform does not replicate Lu Xuan’s Psychic Power, preventing him from using it in virtual matches 29 93.
• Mental techniques can rapidly deplete his power, particularly attempts to control or continuously suppress another person 21 131.
