Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 88 Psionic Skills: [Fire]

——Psionic Skill: [Spark].

In his previous life, after Song Shi was promoted to the second ring, this item was not among the psychic skills bestowed by the Tao. In the entire configuration of psychic skills of the second ring, [Spark] was the third psychic skill he obtained.

Like [Forging Flame], [Spark] is also a psionic skill that belongs to the "foundation ability".

As the name suggests, the holder of this psychic skill can create "sparks" through his own psychic energy.

"Spark" can be regarded as a "concrete entity" of a part of the holder's power. The most common use is to consume "Spark" in battle to temporarily strengthen oneself, or restore spiritual power, physical strength, spirit, etc.

Of course, the effect of "Spark" is definitely more than that. There are more advanced applications, such as bestowing "Spark" on others - this method can even allow an ordinary person to become a psychic in a short period of time.

Another point is that [Spark] is not exclusive to psychics of the [Great Source] of "Fire", but can also be used by psychics of other great sources of power.

Even the name of this psychic skill does not have to be "Spark". I call it that because my great source of power is fire.

Of course, there are indeed people who use the name "Fire" as an argument to prove that "fire" is the most powerful source of power.

Theoretically, an ordinary Great Source Psychic who has just been promoted to the second ring can retain two "sparks" at the same time.

If it is used simply to restore spiritual energy, each fire seed can provide the holder with a quarter of it. If it is used to restore physical strength and spirit, the amount will be lower, but not too much lower.

"And six for me."

Song Shi made a simple estimate and came to a conclusion.

The creation of a "spark" can be roughly divided into three steps: "condensation", "stabilization" and "maintenance".

First, extract a part of your own power and shape it into a concrete entity, which is "cohesion". Then make this concrete entity stable, which is "stability". Finally, place the former within yourself and keep it without collapsing, which is "maintenance".

This is both a requirement for "operation" and a requirement for "talent". The former determines the lower limit, and the latter determines the upper limit.

——In my previous life, when I was at the peak of the second ring, the number of "fire seeds" I could retain at the same time was twenty-four.

In a sense, this means that his "psychic power" is more than six times that of a great source psychic of the same level.

But this is just a theoretical calculation.

Because one quarter of the "sparks" of different psychics are for the individual holders, and they vary from person to person. Even if the "sparks" are not taken into account, my regular psychic power is far superior to theirs. In this case, the bonus brought by twenty-four "sparks" is very terrifying.

"I can finally feel more relaxed. It turns out that the true starting point for a psychic is still the second ring."

Song Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

For a first-level psychic, another meaning of [Awakening] is "entry".

The number of psychic skills is too small, the psychic power itself is too weak, and at the same time, it is still in the process of continuous learning - in a few extremely strict forces, the first ring [Awakening] is not even regarded as a formal psychic, but as an apprentice, reserve or the like.

But the second ring, [Mastery], is different.

As the name suggests, psychics at this stage have begun to truly master their own powers. They have more abundant psychic energy, five new psychic skills brought by the second ring, and a deeper understanding of psychic energy. This is the true step into the "extraordinary" realm.

For myself, it can be said to be a "qualitative change".

——Given the limitations of the first ring, it would be difficult for even myself to come up with any tricks.

".Um?"

But then, Song Shi let out a light exclamation.

Sensing the information in the ball of light, Song Shi's expression changed and he was a little surprised.

"This psychic skill doesn't take up an empty slot? Is this the true extra gift of the Tao?"

The number of psychic skills that a psychic can possess at the same time is limited. Just like a drink placed in a glass, syrup, cut fruit, water, base wine. The bartender has many choices, but must make choices. Otherwise, if he only cares about "quantity" and puts everything in at once, he will only get a glass of turbid liquid that is impossible to look at directly.

Not to mention the selling price, I'm afraid people would have to pay for it before they would be willing to drink it.

The same is true for psychics.

A second-ring psyker's second-ring psyker skills are best with five.

In other words, a psychic at the peak of the second ring could, in theory, possess eight psychic skills at the same time.

Just now, Song Shi clearly felt from the ball of light that [Fire Seed] was not counted as part of the fifth item. It was an extra sixth item bestowed by the Tao!
"——I thought that this time, I would have to wait until the third ring to obtain this kind of gift."

Song Shi pondered for a moment and nodded: "But it's not surprising."

In his previous life, he groped his way through it, and only started to make a name for himself in the second ring, traveling around the world as a bounty hunter "Nan Dou".

Before that, my process of being promoted to the second ring and my performance in facing the "test" could only be described as very good, but not particularly outstanding.

At that time, the extra gift given by the Tao was just to improve the quality of the three psychic skills provided. At that time, when I was faced with those three psychic skills that could be called "good", I considered for a long time before making a choice.

And the gift of this extra space was obtained by successfully passing the test of advancement to the third ring.

This is already a top-notch additional gift.

Pinch out the light ball.

——The second ring: [Mastery], and you can start again.

Taking a final glance at the road ahead, Song Shi withdrew his gaze from the magnificent starry sky and closed his eyes.

It was like suddenly rising rapidly from the deep sea and surfacing. After a moment of shock, the world became clear again.

White walls, randomly hung shower heads, and piles of bottles and cans
Song Shi stood up and stood beside the sink.

A young face with black hair was reflected in the flat mirror close to the wall.

The appearance that could only be described as "not bad" at first, for some reason, underwent some indescribable changes at this moment, especially the deep inside of the pair of pupils, which seemed to be burning. But when observing closely, these were just hazy illusions.

Song Shi leaned on the sink and blinked.

Then, all these illusions disappeared, and the whole person's temperament became childish again.

"Well, it's more convenient this way."

After a quick shower, Song Shi walked out of the bathroom and turned on the Internet TV.

"Well-known entrepreneur Cland has confirmed that he will be a guest on the 'Parousser Ten' program in the near future to share his experiences and insights along the way. People who are interested in engaging in business must not miss it. In a week, everything will be on 'Parousser Ten'——"

Change the channel.

"The murderer of the Buck Street massacre four days ago has been arrested. It is reported that the murderer was originally an employee of Hongjing Co., Ltd., but was fired for leaving early and being late for many consecutive days and not working the minimum standard of 80 hours a week. So he held a grudge and took the opportunity to attack his boss when he went to Buck Street to discuss something, using lethal weapons, which led to this heinous tragedy, resulting in more than 12 deaths and 37 injuries."

Change the channel.

"To celebrate the new album "Brilliant Dream" being on the best-selling list in one day, and to thank all fans for their support, the virtual anchor "Chiyana Naing" has decided to start a super long live broadcast in [Valhalla] on the evening of the 12th! Live broadcast reservations are now open. If you help with the number of reservations, you will have a chance to win the right to use the simulated sense of the "Chiyana Naing" live broadcast model once -"

Change the channel.

"Healthier than candy! More exciting than the Relaxing Patch! So cool! Use the 'Jinsong Patch' now! The only official product of the Super Competitive Sports League! Order now! One price! Give your family a treat! So cool! Just use the Jinsong Patch! So cool——"

Song Shi sighed, turned off the TV, lay down on the bed and went to sleep.
