The Potential of a Divine Sense Master

Chen Lie said, "You can stop here, you should head back now."

"Alright."

Yang Xixi hesitated for a moment, bit her lip, and asked, "Senior, may I add you on Green Bubble?"

"Go ahead!"

Chen Lie took out his Communicator and added Yang Xixi as a friend.

Just then, a flying bus pulled up to the stop, and Chen Lie stepped directly onto it.

Seeing this, Yang Xixi waved gently at Chen Lie and said, "Goodbye, Senior!"

After the flying bus took off and drove away, an airship pulled up nearby.

The door of the airship opened, and a beautiful young woman stepped out, followed by a stunning girl with an extraordinary aura.

"Is that classmate Lu? Hello, classmate Lu!"

Upon seeing the girl with the extraordinary aura, Yang Xixi immediately greeted her.

The girl spotted Yang Xixi as well and replied, "Hello, classmate Yang."

The beautiful woman behind the girl followed up, asking, "Qingchan, is this your classmate?"

The girl nodded and said, "Yes, we are both in Elite Class 1. This is my classmate, Yang Xixi."

The girl was none other than Lu Qingchan, and the beautiful woman behind her was her mother, Xu Yunyan.

"Hello, classmate Xixi."

Xu Yunyan, standing behind Lu Qingchan, greeted Yang Xixi.

Yang Xixi replied, "Hello, Auntie."

"Classmate Lu, I remember you were looking for an Army-Breaking Fist martial arts crystal card a while ago, right? There is a crystal card shop in the third stall on the east side of the market; my dad owns it. If you need one, you should go check it out there."

"Army-Breaking Fist crystal card?"

Lu Qingchan asked in confusion, "I've asked at many crystal card shops and none of them had this card. How could your dad's place have it?"

"It seems a Divine Sense Master entrusted my dad to sell it on his behalf. You wouldn't believe it, but that Divine Sense Master is so young—he's the same age as us. What's even more absurd is that he's actually from our school too," Yang Xixi said.

"Our school? We actually have a Divine Sense Master?"

Lu Qingchan's tone was filled with disbelief.

"It's true. We were just eating together earlier, and that Divine Sense Master senior even gave me some pointers on my martial arts."

Lu Qingchan was stunned. Since when had their school become such a place of hidden talents? First, there was the mysterious expert who had mastered a B-rank movement technique to perfection, and now, even a Divine Sense Master had appeared. Having lived in the Lu family during her childhood, she knew deeply how rare and precious Divine Sense Masters were.

"A Divine Sense Master who can give you pointers and is the same age as us must also be a martial arts genius, right?" Lu Qingchan asked.

"That's what I thought too, but that senior said his strength was only average. I think he was just being humble, so I didn't believe him."

At this point, Xu Yunyan spoke up, "A Divine Sense Master of your age would likely be a trainee Divine Sense Master. However, even as a trainee, even if his current strength isn't that high, his martial arts potential is no less than that of the members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group. If you have the chance, classmate Xixi, you could introduce him to Qingchan. Since you are all the same age, you should have plenty to talk about."

"This..." Yang Xixi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll see. After all, I'm not exactly that close with that Divine Sense Master senior yet."

Xu Yunyan smiled gently and said, "That's fine. Our Qingchan will be waiting for your good news."

Yang Xixi said, "I still need to go to the martial arts gym to train, so I'll be going now. Goodbye, Auntie, goodbye, classmate Lu."

"Goodbye!"

Lu Qingchan waved at Yang Xixi.

Once Yang Xixi had left, Lu Qingchan couldn't help but complain to Xu Yunyan, "Mom, how could you do that? I haven't even met that Divine Sense Master, and you're already thinking about having a classmate introduce me to him. Yang Xixi and I are just ordinary classmates; we don't really interact that much."

Xu Yunyan smiled and said, "Qingchan, do you know what it means to have a Divine Sense Master of your age?"

"I don't!"

"Then let me tell you: a 17-year-old Divine Sense Master, barring any accidents, has a much higher chance of becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster in the future than any member of the Provincial Youth Genius Group. The so-called members of the Dongchuan Provincial Youth Genius Group, who are hailed as 'Grandmaster seeds,' only have a small probability of actually becoming Grandmasters, just like Yuan Hao."

"This... how could that be?" Lu Qingchan couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Once a Divine Sense Master awakens their divine sense, their comprehension, insight, and learning ability will all be ten times stronger than anyone else's."

For a martial art, an ordinary person might need ten months to master it, while a Divine Sense Master might take less than a month; how can you even compare the two?

More importantly, once a Divine Sense Master reaches a certain rank, they can project their spiritual consciousness at any time to observe their own body and the state of their martial cultivation, allowing for timely adjustments and corrections so that their training never goes astray.

A 17-year-old apprentice Divine Sense Master is certain to reach a higher rank within a few years. In truth, martial cultivation and spiritual consciousness cultivation complement each other; once a Divine Sense Master opens their Divine Sense, their martial progress will be twice as effective with half the effort.

"In that case, even though Brother Yuan Hao's martial arts are so advanced, he still doesn't compare to a Divine Sense Master?" Lu Qingchan asked.

Xu Yunyan nodded and said, "Yuan Hao has merely built the foundation to become a Grandmaster. You must understand that a foundation is just a foundation; who can guarantee that his future cultivation won't go astray?

Let me give you an example: have you heard of Zhao Jinglan, the CEO of the Sunlight Group in Dongchuan Province?"

"Of course," Lu Qingchan replied.

"Zhao Jinglan is a Divine Sense Master who opened her Divine Sense at seventeen. The moment she did, the Zhao Family immediately designated her as their successor to be groomed.

Zhao Jinglan began managing the massive Sunlight Group in her early twenties precisely because she is a Divine Sense Master who has already attained her rank.

The current Zhao Jinglan is only ten years older than you, but her martial cultivation is nearly at the Grandmaster level. In the Zhao Family, her word is law; even many of the elders in the Zhao Family have to watch their step and avoid clashing with her.

By comparison, although Yuan Hao is outstanding in martial arts and has entered the Provincial Youth Genius Group, the Xu Family only values him; they are nowhere near designating him as the successor to the Xu Family.

This is the gap between a 17-year-old Divine Sense Master and a martial arts genius. Do you understand now?"

"Then... then..."

"Stop with the 'thens.' Didn't you say earlier that there is a mysterious expert at your school who has cultivated a B-rank martial art to the realm of perfection?

That person is likely this very Divine Sense Master.

To be able to guide a first-year high school student and enable them to use a B-rank footwork technique with such ease—only a Divine Sense Master could achieve that.

If you get to know this Divine Sense Master and have them guide your martial arts, wouldn't that save you a month, or even several months, of bitter training?

Everything Mother is doing is for your own good."

Lu Qingchan couldn't help but say, "But I don't even know the person."

"Mother will teach you. Through your classmate, or perhaps the younger sister of another classmate, you can probe around. You will find information eventually."

Lu Qingchan remained silent; she really couldn't bring herself to do what her mother suggested.

"Let's go. We'll go check out that crystal card shop at your classmate's house."

As she spoke, Xu Yunyan pulled Lu Qingchan into the Martial Artist Market.

Following what Yang Xixi had said earlier, they arrived at the crystal card shop.

As soon as Xu Yunyan and Lu Qingchan walked in, Yang Shen stood up immediately.

"Hello, are you looking for martial arts crystal cards?

The shop has a wide variety; feel free to browse at your leisure."

Xu Yunyan nodded slightly, "Boss, do you have Army-Breaking Fist crystal cards here?"

Yang Shen replied immediately, "You've come at just the right time. The shop just received a few sets of Army-Breaking Fist cards, and we even have the market-scarce Void-Breaking Fist cards. I'll bring them out for you!"

With that, Yang Shen took the Army-Breaking Fist and Void-Breaking Fist crystal cards out from behind the counter.

Xu Yunyan held the cards in her hand to examine them and said, "Boss, both of these types are in short supply on the market. I've been to many shops and none had them in stock. How is it that you have them?"

Yang Shen laughed heartily and said, "To be honest with you, I have a special channel."

Xu Yunyan unwrapped the cards to look closer and suddenly said, "The packaging of these cards seems a bit different from other shops."

"Is that so? I hadn't noticed, but these are all produced by the Lingfeng Group in Chuan Province. They are legitimate psionic crystal cards obtained through proper channels with all the paperwork," Yang Shen said.

"Qingchan, take a look. Shall we get two sets of Army-Breaking Fist cards?"

Xu Yunyan looked at Lu Qingchan beside her.

"Okay!" Lu Qingchan responded.

Xu Yunyan looked at Yang Shen, "Boss, we'll take two sets of Army-Breaking Fist cards."

"Very well. Do you need the Void-Breaking Fist cards? Those are even more sought after than the Army-Breaking Fist."

"No need, just the two sets of Army-Breaking Fist cards."

"Understood, I'll pack them up for you."

As he spoke, Yang Shen took a shopping bag from beside the counter, packed the two sets of cards, and handed them to Xu Yunyan.

"That will be 240,000 Star Dollars in total."

Xu Yunyan nodded and took out a Star Dollar card. Just as she was about to pay, she remembered something and asked, "Boss, do you have any footwork martial arts crystal cards here?"

"Footwork?"

Yang Shen thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any of those, but I do have leg technique cards. Would you like to see those?"

"No, let's just pay," Xu Yunyan shook her head.

"Wait, hold on. I do have one C-rank martial arts crystal card called Cloud Shadow Steps. It's a single card rather than a set, and it has been used once before. If you want it, I can let you have it for 20,000 Star Dollars."

Yang Shen suddenly remembered and spoke up.

"Cloud Shadow Steps?"

Xu Yunyan's heart stirred, and she said, "Take it out and let me see!"

Yang Shen hurriedly produced a pale yellow crystal card and placed it on the counter.

Xu Yunyan picked up the crystal card and turned to Lu Qingchan, saying, "Qingchan, Mother remembers that your Cloud Smoke Steps have reached a bottleneck, but crystal cards for movement techniques are already rare, and a Cloud Smoke Steps crystal card is simply impossible to buy on the market."

"Try this Cloud Shadow Steps crystal card; it might just provide the experience needed to enhance your practice of the Cloud Smoke Steps."

"Alright!"

Lu Qingchan took the crystal card, held it close to her heart, and sensed it carefully.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her mind.

She saw herself placed within a world of pure white, beginning to execute a movement technique.

As her consciousness sank into the crystal card, Lu Qingchan was shocked to discover that the movement technique being performed by her first-person perspective in the crystal world was none other than the Cloud Smoke Steps she had been practicing all along.

Suddenly, her footsteps shifted, her figure swayed, and she saw herself split into dozens, perhaps hundreds, of phantoms spreading out around her true form.

Following that, the dozens or hundreds of phantoms stepped forward with the same footwork as the Cloud Smoke Steps, moving toward her simultaneously until they merged with her true form one by one.
