Spiritual Power

Late at night.

In a private ward at People's Hospital in Yi'an District.

Luo Feng lay quietly on the hospital bed.

Luo Hua and Luo Xia stood guard beside him.

As for their father, Luo Hongguo, and mother, Gong Xinlan, they were too old to stay up through the night. Luo Hua and Luo Xia had persuaded them to go home and rest, leaving only the two younger brothers to watch over their eldest brother.

Buzz—

Luo Xia sat in a nearby chair, playing on his phone.

Suddenly, he sensed a surge of Mental Strength.

Under the influence of that Mental Strength, everything in the ward suddenly floated up, as if gravity had vanished, suspended in midair.

Luo Hua had been checking stock market fluctuations on his Handheld Computer when he suddenly saw it float up as well. His mouth dropped open in shock. "This is..."

Luo Xia looked toward Luo Feng on the bed. "Big Brother?"

"Mmph—"

At Luo Xia's call, Luo Feng slowly opened his eyes. The objects he had unconsciously begun controlling still floated in the air—

"What's happening to me?"

After a moment of confusion, Luo Feng looked at the objects hovering in midair and blinked.

After staring blankly for a moment, he looked at Luo Xia.

Luo Xia spread his hands innocently. "I didn't do it."

If it wasn't you, then who was it?

You're the only one in this room with Spiritual Power... Wait, it was me!

Only then did Luo Feng finally realize what was happening.

He sensed that some mysterious power within his body had caused the chairs, kettle, Handheld Computer... to float into the air.

Luo Feng tried moving the suspended objects.

Under the influence of his Mental Strength, the objects slowly drifted through the air, spinning in circles.

Luo Feng was dumbfounded. "How did I gain the ability to control objects...?"

Luo Xia smiled faintly. "Congratulations, Big Brother. Your Mental Strength has awakened!"

Luo Feng frowned at those words, deep in thought. "So the headaches I often had before, even the times I fainted, were all related to my Mental Strength?"

"That should be it." Luo Xia nodded, then asked Luo Feng, "By the way, Big Brother, how do you feel now?"

Luo Feng first lowered all the floating objects back to their original places. Then he got out of bed, took two steps, and answered:

"My head feels incredibly comfortable. After all these years, I don't think it has ever felt this good."

Luo Xia asked again, "Big Brother, how strong is your ability to control objects now?"

Luo Feng pondered briefly. "Let me try..."

As he spoke, a thought crossed his mind, and he looked at the bed. The entire bed immediately rose into the air.

Then Luo Feng looked at the bedside table beside it, and it too floated up.

Then came the three chairs, the kettle, the Handheld Computer...

Throughout the entire ward, aside from Luo Xia and Luo Hua, nearly every object had left the ground, as though gravity no longer existed in the room.

Luo Hua was completely stunned, his mouth hanging open.

"I'm controlling so many objects in the air, yet I don't feel strained at all."

Luo Feng said.

At that moment, Luo Xia pointed at the railing on the balcony outside the ward. "Big Brother, try twisting off one of the steel bars from the railing."

Luo Feng nodded and followed Luo Xia's instructions, focusing his attention on one of the railing's steel bars.

As his thoughts shifted, the front end of the steel bar began to spin and twist. Amid a piercing screech, it snapped free from the railing with a bang, turning into a Steel Thorn that hovered in midair.

This time, without Luo Xia needing to say anything, Luo Feng was already controlling the Steel Thorn as it flew out.

The Steel Thorn shot like lightning toward a massive boulder in the courtyard below. At its terrifying speed, it instantly pierced through the boulder with a muffled thud.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!

After piercing through the boulder, the Steel Thorn returned under Luo Feng's control and continued drilling through it.

In just a short time, the Steel Thorn turned into countless afterimages, repeatedly piercing the boulder. In an instant, the huge rock was riddled with holes, as if it had been hit by countless Armor-Piercing Bullets, reduced to a sieve!

Bang!

Suddenly, a deep explosive crack rang out.

The boulder, more than two meters in diameter, completely shattered into countless chunks of stone. The Steel Thorn that Luo Feng had been controlling also crumbled into powder from the intense friction!

"Who the hell is that?!"

"Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night?!"

"You're so damn loud!"

Hearing the voices from the neighboring ward, the three Luo brothers shrank their necks and hurried back into the room, shutting the door behind them. They exchanged glances.

"Big Brother is incredible! That was a huge rock over two meters thick, and it was pierced through in an instant! The Steel Thorn Big Brother controlled was powerful enough to rival an Armor-Piercing Bullet fired from a Heavy Sniper Rifle!"

Luo Hua looked at his eldest brother, Luo Feng, and exclaimed in amazement.

Luo Xia smiled from the side.

"That was only because the Steel Thorn wasn't sturdy or sharp enough. If it were replaced with a Psychic Weapon made specifically for Spiritual Psychics, forget stone—even a monster's hide armor could probably be pierced!"

Luo Hua nodded excitedly at that.

"I remember reading online that although Spiritual Psychics are also Warriors, they're extremely rare. They're far stronger than Warriors of the same level!"

He looked at Luo Xia and said happily, "I always thought our family only had you with the talent to become a Spiritual Psychic. I never expected Big Brother to have it too!"

Luo Feng also looked toward Luo Xia at that moment.

They had all known that Luo Xia possessed Spiritual Power, but they had previously understood very little about Spiritual Psychics.

Moreover, Luo Xia had never wanted to reveal it, so they had all helped him keep it secret.

Who would have thought...

Only now that Luo Feng had awakened his own Mental Strength did he realize just how powerful this force was. Ordinary Warriors simply had no way to contend with such an ability!

Luo Feng had some doubts and asked Luo Xia:

"Xia, why was awakening my Mental Strength so troublesome, while it seemed so easy for you? I suffered from headaches, but you were completely fine."

Luo Xia explained, "That's because, Big Brother, your Physical Quality couldn't keep up with your Spiritual Power. When someone's Physical Quality can't withstand overly powerful Spiritual Power, symptoms like headaches and fainting will appear."

As for Luo Xia himself, he had consciously trained from a young age. While still very young, he had already possessed the Physical Quality of an Advanced Warrior, so he could naturally withstand the immense Mental Strength in his mind.

After a pause, Luo Xia continued:

"Besides, my Mental Strength hasn't fully awakened yet. Right now, just like you, Big Brother, I can only control some objects."

Luo Feng and Luo Hua exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised. Luo Feng asked in astonishment, "You can already control objects, yet you still haven't fully awakened?"

Luo Xia nodded and sighed.

"That's right. Because it hasn't fully awakened, using my Mental Strength increases the burden on my body. That's why I haven't used my Spiritual Power much over the years."

Luo Hua and Luo Feng nodded in realization.

That was true. Over the years, Third Brother really had rarely used his Spiritual Power.

They had thought Third Brother simply did not like showing off.

So it turned out that using Spiritual Power before it had fully awakened placed a greater burden on the body.
