Telekinesis

Biodata

Power Progression

• The milestones below track Xu Xiao’s Telekinesis, rather than a universal sequence of cultivation realms.

Origin and Nature

Xu Xiao acquires Telekinesis by absorbing the entire Superpower Crystal himself. The resulting evolution consumes substantial nourishment and severely wastes his already malnourished body. He suspects that possessing the whole crystal helps explain his unusually rapid growth, while his familiarity with ability users from his apocalyptic home world accelerates his practical training 5 6.

He initially prioritizes precise, economical attacks rather than testing maximum output. Northern Darkness True Qi and medicinal meals later restore his body and support further growth, making physical recovery an important part of developing the ability 7 8 16 58.

Source and Related Powers

• Sea of Consciousness: Xu Xiao identifies the source of Telekinesis behind the center of his brow, in the structure the narrative associates with the pineal gland, heavenly eye, upper dantian, and Niwan Palace 87.
• Physical evolution: His later explanation attributes its initial development to evolution of the pineal gland and hippocampus 182.
• Shared foundation with Divine Sense: Both powers operate through the Sea of Consciousness. Divine Sense supplies perception, while Telekinesis applies force 86 87.
• Body–mind dependence: Its development depends on both physical condition and mental strength, rather than cultivation realm alone 111 194.
• Distinct from direct manifestation: After genetic enhancement, Xu Xiao learns to create fire directly through mental power. This is explicitly different from using Telekinesis to manipulate particles, and consumes more energy 125 126.

Abilities & Skills

Remote Manipulation and Compression

Telekinesis applies invisible force according to thought, without requiring the user’s body to perform the corresponding action 6 36.

• Performs delicate tasks such as fastening buttons, retrieving objects, and reshaping metal into weapons 6 91.
• Immobilizes multiple people or applies pressure from every direction; Xu Xiao crushes five boats, each over ten meters long, together with their occupants 32.
• Concentrates force at a selected point rather than distributing it evenly across a target 90.
• Handles noncombat work, including packing Blood Orchids into vacuum-sealing bags, excavating underground passages, and remaking clothing 131 172 354.

Weapon Control

Propelling a physical weapon provides penetrating power without the effort required to crush every target directly 7 91.

• Accelerates small alloy shards beyond the speed of sound and controls several changing attack paths simultaneously 17 23.
• Recalls weapons after an attack and keeps them hovering nearby for reuse 11.
• Controls large numbers of objects at once, including weapons gathered from an entire battlefield 48 111.
• Supports heavier specialized weapons, including six double-edged blades used to sweep through enemy troops 77.

Defensive Barriers and Deflection

Xu Xiao divides Telekinesis into shields and separate force strands to respond to different threats simultaneously 36.

• Stops light projectiles, such as golden needles, against an invisible barrier 36.
• Nudges heavy or Internal Energy–reinforced weapons off course rather than absorbing their full impact 35 36.
• Shields him from the flames and blast wave of his own attack 48.
• Restraint is not absolute: sufficiently strong targets can resist or move against the applied pressure 91 164.

Flight and Movement Support

Telekinesis lifts Xu Xiao’s body and can transport other people with him 8 16.

• Provides mobility while his weakened legs make ordinary movement difficult 16.
• Accelerates his body during close combat; he combines restraint and propulsion to land the killing blow on the Sweeper Monk 74.
• Supplies a coordinate for Spatial Shift Step, although opening space and protecting travelers also require other powers 194.
• Full-speed flight is less convenient than spatial movement because it requires a straight path and heavily strains his body 194.

Divine Sense–Guided Targeting

Divine Sense allows Xu Xiao to direct Telekinesis without seeing a target with his eyes 86 111.

• Removes visual blind spots, including areas behind him and beneath the ground 86.
• Enables concealed attacks without revealing his position 89.
• Locates underground control lines so he can sever them while disabling Vanguard City’s weapons 90.
• Supplies the observation necessary for internal-body attacks and microscopic manipulation 111 112.

Internal Attacks and Emotional Influence

Xu Xiao experiments with passing Telekinesis through the body to attack organs and affect neural activity 111 112.

• Successfully ruptures a test subject’s heart, but the penetration-and-attack process initially takes more than a second—too slow for his preferred combat pace 111.
• Judges internal attacks useful mainly for ambushes: powerful opponents may detect the mental force or block it with protective energy 111.
• Learns to influence emotions by observing neural signals; against stronger opponents, he considers it at most a combat distraction 112.
• Avoids directly rewriting important people’s minds because his experiments frequently cause fatal brain damage. He instead uses limited interference with neural transmission to make his words more persuasive 115.

Microscopic Manipulation and Atomic Collapse

Combining Divine Sense’s observation with Telekinesis’s force allows Xu Xiao to manipulate matter below the visible scale 112 164.

• Particle-generated lightning: Moving particles in the air produces electricity, eventually becoming fast enough for immediate combat use against Doctor Strange 112 119.
• Atomic Collapse: True Essence and Telekinesis compress and guide selected atoms under Divine Sense observation, initiating a chain reaction inside the target 164.
• Demonstrated destruction: Atomic Collapse eliminates the guardian Demon Dragon in a burst of white light, leaving no dust behind 164.
• Research limits: Microscopic work initially demands complete concentration; improved observation and analysis later allow Xu Xiao to begin investigating electromagnetism 112 211.

Training and Limitations

Other Users

• Andrew and his two companions — The Chronicle users provide Xu Xiao’s initial model for the ability. They take approximately a week to control a tennis ball and suffer nosebleeds during use; Andrew achieves building-block assembly in the third week 5 6.
• Wang Que — Controls more than a thousand flying swords, accelerating them to dozens of times the speed of sound against Yanluo. Her Telekinesis is later countered by the Lord of the Abyss’s corrosive black mist 229 235.
• Unnamed Beta-Level Mutant follower — Uses Psychokinesis to stop gunfire during the seizure of the Tesseract. The ability is explicitly described as a mental power 255.
