Chapter 47: Spiritual Master, on the High Speed Train

Chapter 47 — Spiritual Master, on the High Speed Train

“… There are a total of 96 zombies in the next street, of which 6 are tough ones that need to be dealt with individually …” Lu Sheng closed his eyes and muttered to himself.

When he opened his eyes, a strange glow appeared in his eyes. This was a new ability he had obtained after mastering the Crystal Visualisation Method.

“I can now detect any objects within a hundred-meters. My vision can pass through the ground, and even through concrete structures …”

This was a very strange ability to have.

It gave Lu Sheng the feeling that he had activated his X-ray vision in the game. Within a hundred meters, he could see everything.

"When used in battle, I can predict the enemy's movements in advance. My opponent's pupils, muscles reaction … I can see the slightest change clearly." Lu Sheng was excited.

He understood that he had entered the most mysterious realm of spiritual power in martial arts cultivation.

"The main purpose of the Crystal Contemplation Method is to cultivate spiritual power. The cultivation of spiritual power is a hundred times more difficult than the cultivation of qi and combat power*. I have a unique condition, which allows me to absorb the memories of zombies.

These memory fragments, after being refined and purified by Crystal Contemplation Method, are the best spiritual fuel … "

Lu Sheng opened the interface of the Photon Mind he carried with him and entered “spiritual power” as a keyword on it.

The result was a huge amount of information.

“It turns out that as early as a hundred years before the martial arts there was the existence of spiritual power, and there are even people who specialize in spiritual power … Only this kind of person is particularly rare, until the late civilization of the martial dao, a large number of martial arts specifically for the cultivation of spiritual power was developed, the number of such people gradually increased…”

"So spiritual power existed as early as a hundred years before martial cultivation was established. There were even people who specialized in spiritual power … but these individuals were very rare, and not until the later stage of the martial arts civilization, when numerous martial arts that specialized in spiritual power were developed, did the number of similar individuals increase …"

According to the information, such people are collectively known as spiritual masters.

Like the martial artists, spiritual masters were also divided into many levels.

Only that the promotion for a spiritual master was very difficult, and the combat power that could be exerted with each promotion was extremely terrifying.

According to the information, a Level 1 Spiritual Master was someone skilled in combat techniques that used spiritual power and could easily handle ten or even more Level 1 Martial Artists, and can even challenge a Level 4 Martial Artist at the extreme end.

“It’s too perverted, it’s almost like a god-level hidden profession in the game …”

Lu Sheng couldn’t help but sigh.

He was curious about his current spiritual strength, but without proper testing apparatuses, it was basically impossible to determine.

“From the limit of my perception alone, I am now considered a Level 2 Spiritual Master, but I don’t if the same can be said about the strength I can exert …”

Base 1359 has special equipments for testing spiritual power, but they were located in the most central command areas of the base. Lu Sheng was probably a dozen or some kilometres away from the base’s central command.

Only god knew how many zombies of terrifying strength lurked in between.

Although Lu Sheng is the spark chosen by the civilization, but these zombies did not have any memories of their own, and would try to beat him up, nonetheless.

“I can think about it later …”

Lu Sheng regretfully put aside this thought for the time being, and then searched for the combat techniques suited for spiritual masters through the Photon Mind.

The result instead showed – [Insufficient authority.]

“Alright …”

Lu Sheng was speechless. His Level 2 authority didn’t seem to hold much value in the Fireseed Repository.

“I’ll have to get stronger. On the one hand, I can raise my authority to unlock more techniques in the Fireseed Repository, on the other hand, I can also challenge stronger zombies and obtain stronger fragments of memories …”

Lu Sheng secretly made up his mind.

Until then, he could only rely on the Crystal Contemplation Method to generate spiritual power. Of course, he could also try to study and gain insights on it by himself.

It would be even better if he could have the luck to take out a zombie that was once spiritual master and inherit its memories.

…

On the high speed train from Shuhai City to the capital of Dongning Province.

On a train, two young men and two young women sat facing each other. All looked young.

“… If it wasn’t for my parents forcing me to go to this cram school, saying that the instructor was a peak Level 5 Martial Artist who had retired from the Extreme Martial Arts School, I really wouldn’t want to go.

“Anyway, my BQV has already exceeded 1.3, easily reaching the standards of a Level 1 Martial Artist before the college entrance examination …

“But if it makes me stronger, why not go? What do you guys think? …” An average looking boy wearing designer clothes kept chattering away, and a round-faced girl, wearing glasses, sitting across him kept nodding her head, with a hint of admiration.

On the other hand, the girl sitting in the seat next to him was indifferent and had a cold expression on her. Her eyes flashed with annoyance from time to time.

Li Yihan was almost annoyed to death by the boy beside her who was constantly showing off his superiority with every word he spoke.

It seemed that the boy considered having a BQV of 1.3 and enrolling in a cram school run by a Level 5 Martial Artist was very impressive.

If the other party had not taken the initiative to spew out all the details, and she had stumbled upon the information, she might’ve even viewed differently. But kept showing off over and over again, make her disgust for him only multiply.

That said, Li Yihan was too embarrassed to ask the guy to just shut up. She could only endure in silence.

But even if she had encountered such an obnoxious fly, Li Yihan did not regret this trip too much.

The reason being … the good-looking guy sitting directly across from her.
