Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 87 Promotion (Part )

Faced with the rain of fire falling from the sky, the man, or "Sainsbury", only took one action.

He raised his right hand.

The five fingers covered with callous scars slowly opened, and then, as if grasping something, suddenly closed.

It was as if an invisible barrier rose up, with the man as the center and a radius of one meter. When the originally raging flames fell into this area, they were silently extinguished and turned into scattered sparks.

But this is not some "invisible barrier".

With Song Shi's eyesight, he could clearly see that there were a large number of dust particles scattered around Sainsbury - these dust particles surrounded him, turning into an imperceptible but difficult to cross barrier.

——Psionic Skills: [Dust]!
——Psionic skills: [Gathering and separation]!
"And the last one should be the cornerstone ability [Accommodation]."

Song Shi nodded slightly.

At this moment, both of them are at the peak of the first ring, with only three psychic skills - the test attack with the rain of fire just now has already revealed the other party's combination.

--certainly.

Even if it was just a projection from the past on the Tao, with the experience of a fifth-ring psychic, the other party could see his approximate combination. In a fight at this level, this was only the most basic skill.

And the next moment, Sainsbury's counterattack arrived!
Driven by thoughts, spiritual energy moved spontaneously and turned into tiny particles of dust. These particles then gathered at a speed visible to the naked eye, condensing into sharp-edged, finger-sized stone edges.

Then, shoot out quickly!

"It's not just a matter of solidifying the dust into a solid entity and shooting it out. The interior of each stone edge still maintains a subtle state of gathering and separation. Once it hits the target, it will explode a second time."

The raging flames rose high, engulfing the stone edges that were shot at him. In Song Shi's left hand, he was holding one of the stone edges, wrapping it with flames and observing it carefully.

"Interesting. You can master psychic skills to such an advanced level at the first level. You are indeed worthy of being a fifth-level psychic."

Song Shi gave a heartfelt exclamation, then suddenly clenched his five fingers.

The dirt turned back into dust and slowly drifted away from the gaps between the five fingers.

"——There is no need to make any more unnecessary attempts."

Song Shi raised the fire blade in his hand and pointed it far ahead: "Sainsbury, I'll just call you 'Sainsbury' for now."

"Now that we have come to this, let's decide the outcome in the way of psychics."

The man in front paused for a moment.

Then, he lowered his right hand, which had been raised all the time, and a huge amount of dust surged from between his rough five fingers, condensing together and turning into a stone axe with an irregular outline.

The next moment, the two of them disappeared at the same time.

When it reappeared, there was a loud roar as the fire blade and the stone axe collided violently!
--boom!

The flames and dust all over his body blended together, reflecting two completely different fighting styles.

One holds still, but each attack is as heavy as a mountain, intended to crush the enemy completely.

One used attack instead of defense, as if there were no shackles forever. The red-gold flame showed no signs of stopping, and it grew higher and higher with the rider.

In the previous moment, the stone axe chopped down heavily, trying to smash the flames and the enemy together, and in the next moment, facing the fire that was smashed into a "dent" by the stone axe, the burning blade stretched out and hit the stone axe from bottom to top!

Even the sound seemed to slow down for a moment.

Because before the rapid and heavy collision sounds rang out, the red-gold flames and the muddy yellow dust had already devoured each other wantonly. The two trailing streams of light separated as soon as they touched, and then faced each other again just before the collision sound was heard!

The sharp flying stone chips scratched his cheek, leaving a trace of blood. The blazing sparks broke through the barrier of dust, leaving a scorch mark on the latter's body.

But neither side cared.

They simply mobilized their spiritual energy to the fullest and poured out their strength wantonly, trying to completely devour the opponent!
Bang - boom!

Song Shi laughed and swung again. Sainsbury pulled back and turned, and the stone axe blocked the burning fire blade. From the gap between the fronts, the stone edges and the fireworks did not stop for a moment, bombarding each other. Even time seemed to stop flowing.

Until a certain moment.

The dusty stone axe suddenly burst out with unprecedented power. The aura of Sainsbury and the stone axe merged into one at this moment, like a mountain falling heavily, crushing the fire blade that collided again into spider-web-like cracks, and then completely collapsed!
Even the surrounding fire instantly created a "vacuum"!
But everything came to a sudden halt.

The fire blade collapsed and disintegrated, turning into scattered sparks.

In the next instant, these sparks were recast into one, condensing into a burning blade, which slashed into Sainsbury, who was chopping with his stone axe with all his strength and had no time to turn around - and the latter did not turn around either, and continued to chop with all his strength without hesitation!

The axe blade, made of dust and solidified into rock, penetrated an inch into his shoulder.

But I can't make any further progress.

Because a piece of fire blade had penetrated the man's chest, surging flames gushed out from the sharp blade, completely engulfing the latter.

".pity."

Staring at the burly man who was surrounded by flames and motionless but still expressionless, Song Shi nodded and then shook his head slightly.

"You are not the real Sainsbury's after all, not the Barrier of Mountains."

Song Shi sighed, his tone filled with undisguised regret.

"Compared to the real Sainsbury, you still lack a little 'will', but 'will' is the real strength of psychics like us."

"But it was still a good fight... Goodbye."

Sainsbury still said nothing.

So, Song Shi slowly loosened the five fingers holding the fire blade and took a step back.

At this moment, "Sainsbury" nodded slightly to the former, and like a gust of wind blowing through a sand castle, his body turned into wisps of dust and drifted away.

In silence, the dust turned into deep yellow starlight and rose into the starry sky.

The gray-yellow stars slowly disappeared.

Song Shi stood quietly.

When the last ray of light from the stars disappeared, three balls of light suddenly jumped out in front of him - no, more than three, three more balls of light appeared right after that!

This is a gift from the path to those who have ascended, a "psychic skill" that requires no prerequisites or thresholds.

"Is it six this time, instead of the usual three options?"

Looking at this scene, Song Shi nodded.

[Helm of Fire], [Burn], [Molten Incarnation], [Scorching], [Flame Feather], [Spark].

"Not only the quantity, but also the quality is all good. There are no psychic skills that are just for show. At the very least, they are all of the 'usable' level."

“Is this the improvement brought by the test?”

"Well, [Flame Helm] can be directly ruled out, as it has some overlap with [Forging Flame]. [Molten Avatar] is not bad, but it is not suitable for me. [Scorching] and [Incineration] are also okay, but I can get [Ember], so there is no need to take these two."

"【Flame Feather】 allows the holder to fly for a short time at the second ring. After the 'flame feathers' form a complete wing, it can also increase the lethality to a certain extent. It is a very sophisticated psychic skill, but unfortunately I don't like it."

"——As expected, I still have to choose you."

Song Shi smiled, as if meeting an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

He stretched out his hand, took out a ball of light, placed it in the center of his palm, and let it float quietly.

"Long time no see, [Spark]."
