Chapter 5 Psychic Skills·[Forging Flame]
The world was quiet for a moment.
Song Shi's eyes suddenly darkened, as if he suddenly fell from the sky into the deep sea. The cold tide came from all directions, dragging the outsiders who strayed into the deep sea tightly, trying to immortalize them. Trapped to death here.
His consciousness was separated from reality.
Cold.
weightlessness.
It is difficult to tell whether this is an illusion caused by shock due to massive blood loss, or whether it is a real sinking into the deep sea.
At this moment, time loses its role as a yardstick.
Song Shi felt like he was sinking a little bit.
It was as if there were countless people reaching out behind him. They grabbed Song Shi tightly and wanted to drag him into it and integrate him into one.
When people are sleeping, they sometimes suddenly become aware of something and are aware of their own incompatibility, and even want to open their eyes when they are half asleep and half awake, but it is like the eyes are cast with beeswax and covered with white gauze, and it is always difficult to open them.
Even if it seems that there is only a small step away from success, most people still cannot open their eyes in the end and fall into dreams again, letting this opportunity to break free go away.
In the deep dark sea, at this moment, Song Shi's face was slowly sinking. He had this expression on his face. His eyes were closed tightly, and countless pale and cold invisible hands were clinging to his body, grabbing the corners of his clothes. Hold on to your arms and cover your mouth and nose.
Keep dragging toward the darkness below.
The awakening of [psionic energy] is never a safe and comfortable thing, especially when it is awakened due to extreme stimulation - in history, there are indeed many examples of people who were not killed by lightning but awakened spiritual energy, but there are more The people just became a pile of charcoal.
...get out of the way.
In the darkness, someone’s voice seemed to sound.
Get out of the way.
The sound became louder.
The next moment.
From the vast darkness, a ray of light suddenly lit up, and then surged! In an instant, it swept from all directions, and the entire ocean began to boil!
“——Get out of the way!”
Song Shi, who was slowly falling, suddenly opened his eyes. He suddenly raised his right hand, clenched his five fingers, and centered on it, that gleam of light The light of darkness shines brighter!
No.
Not "light".
At this moment, what was surrounding Song Shi's body was the red-gold flame that was burning wantonly! The light that shines in all directions is just an accessory brought by the flame!
The black sea boiled violently, as if it was completely angered by the flames. The terrifying huge waves suddenly rose and crashed down on Song Shi in the distance!
Facing the roaring waves that covered the sky and blocked out the sun, it seemed that it could destroy everything in the world.
"The momentum of this awakening is much greater than the last time."
Sea surface.
Song Shi stood, glanced at the waves in the distance, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Then, he withdrew his gaze and turned to his right hand.
Song Shi stared at the red-gold flames in his palm, lingering between his fingers.
Looking at this flame, a trace of nostalgia appeared in Song Shi's eyes, as if he were meeting a kind old friend: "But this time, is my spiritual symbol still 'flame'?"< br>
The deep wave cast a huge shadow. During Song Shi's silent breaths, the light that originally shone in all directions was suppressed again, and only a small area under Song Shi's feet was still lit.
Then.
At the moment when the huge wave was about to swallow the young man, Song Shi finally made a move.
He raised his right hand and slowly clasped his five fingers together, as if he was holding something - as if he heard a call, the red-gold flames spread up his forearm and poured into the five clasped fingers.
The flames solidified, slowly turning into concrete outlines as they blended and burned.
It was a long sword made of red-gold flames, burning fiercely and extending straight.
Song Shi held the fire sword, pointed forward, and slashed with the sword.
Time stopped for a moment.
Then the whole world fell apart!
The sea turned into two parts, the huge waves broke, and even a trace of red gold appeared on the dark sky! The next moment, flames burst out from the scratches, and the dark sky burned away and completely shattered, revealing the true scenery behind it!
In the quiet night sky, there are twinkling stars.
Song consciousness began to arise.
His body flew up involuntarily. At first, the speed was visible to the naked eye, but in a few clicks, Song Shi's body emitted sparkling light, and his whole body turned into a red-gold starlight and rose into the sky. , leave the sea completely and ascend into the starry sky!
Awakening successful, [Psychic Power] achievement!
——Song Shi once again stepped into the realm of extraordinary beings.
The countless stars twinkling in the sky, each one is a symbol of a psyker.
For a moment, Song Shi subconsciously looked around, trying to find the stars that represented him—not his current self, but Song Shi who was a free bounty hunter in his previous life.
Only three layers of curtains were erected, blocking Song Shi's sight.
Psykers of the first circle must not overstep and peer into the realm of the fourth circle.
So, Song Shi withdrew his gaze.
“No matter how many times I see it, I am still amazed.”
Looking around, Song Shi whispered softly.
At this moment, he was suspended in a starry sky, with countless stars dragging and twinkling, extending forward, and the end of the road could not be seen.
From the first ring, [Awakening] to the sixth ring, [God's Throne], this is a symbol of the path forward for a psyker, and can also be understood as a measure of the power of a psyker.
Only the depth of progress can be unified, but the direction of progress is different.
In front of Song Shi’s eyes, the sea of stars began to change.
An unknown number of stars moved, gathered, and reorganized, until finally, with Song Shi as the center, six roads stretched out - each road was composed of countless stars, and different lights reflected each other. It was a magnificent place that is difficult to describe in words. scene.
[Balance], [Great Source], [Transcendence], [Enlightenment], [Consensus], [Truth]. These are the six spiritual paths!
Throughout the ages, countless psychics have walked on every road.
They set foot on the path, learn the path, and practice the path.
They took the power from their own path, and at the end of their lives, they left the mortal world, ascended into the starry sky, and turned into a star that formed their own path, pushing the path further forward.
This is the meaning of "Path", this is the destiny of "Psychic".
A psyker can only choose one path.
Each psyker has a different affinity for different paths.
From ancient times to the present, countless powerful psychics have said that path is not just a division of so-called "extraordinary abilities". Its real fundamental difference is actually some deep-seated pursuit, principle and significance.
Even if we don’t delve into these, just looking at the superficial differences, there are big differences between Tao and Tao.
[Consensus] Pay attention to personal will affecting reality, tampering with other people's memories, from the power of the mind to the power of thoughts that affect reality; [Transcendence] is the never-ending pursuit of stronger, greater power, faster Speed and sharper thinking allow one to undergo various evolutions and get rid of the constraints of the original mortal body.
[Great Source] Master the "Power of the Great Source" that was born in the world, whether it is the "elements" of earth, wind, water, and fire, or the electric energy and nuclear energy brought about by the progress of civilization; [Revelation] is a group of gods. They are awesome people, but few people dare to ignore their words.
Song Shi looked around him.
The six paths extending out from under his feet can be clearly seen, some lit up and some dimmed.
"Ha, it seems that I will never deal with the "consensus" in this life."
Looking at the road in the two o'clock direction, Song Shi laughed dumbly.
This road representing [consensus] is very bleak, reminding Song Shi that this road is difficult to walk.
While [Transcendence], [Great Source], and [Balance] are all at a bright level, [Revelation] and [Truth] appear bleak.
Exactly the same as in the previous life.
But there is no time to recall the past and sigh about the present.
Song Shi felt the peeling sensation coming from his body.
A newly awakened first-level psychic cannot stay here for too long. If he insists on staying, he will only be forcibly thrown out, and he will have to rest for at least several days to recover.
Song Shi closed his eyes.
When he opened it again, he took a step forward without hesitation.
Embark on the path called [Dayuan]!
The moment the footsteps fell, the other five paths disappeared in an instant, and in their place, the path represented by [Dayuan] expanded rapidly and unfolded in front of Song Shi's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, three light groups suddenly appeared in the void ahead.
This is the key to Song Shi’s choice to awaken his spiritual energy.
For those who step into the Tao for the first time, a gift from the Tao!
In the fairy tales told around the fireplace during the long cold winter, wizards have powerful powers and can cast powerful spells. The former is the cornerstone for releasing spells, and the latter is the shape shaped by mana.
For psykers, their spells are [psionic skills]!
A [psionic skill] that can be used directly without learning or training. This is the gift given by the Tao to those who have just awakened psionic powers.
The feeling of peeling off became stronger all over his body, and three light groups began to flash, urging Song Shi to make a choice as soon as possible.
[Fire], [Elemental Resistance·Fire], [Invigorate Spirit].
Song Shi recognized the meaning of these three light groups in an instant.
[Fire] does not require fuel. It uses spiritual power to summon a flame with bare hands; [Elemental Resistance·Fire] reduces damage from fire. If you choose this, use a lighter to burn the skin for a few seconds. Feel the pain; [Invigorate the spirit] can keep people in high spirits and reduce the fatigue caused by long-term work.
No, not enough.
Song Shi knows the learning principles of these psychic skills. At the same time, the prerequisites are not high, and you can master them after spending a little time! Moreover, these abilities are of little help to my upcoming actions and cannot provide timely combat power!
Stronger psychic skills are necessary.
The feeling of peeling off the whole body increased again.
Song Shi took a deep breath.
I can only use some other means.
In a sense, the road is "living".
Being "alive" means being able to communicate. During the long period of exploration, psychics of all ages have summarized various ways of communication. To this day, these methods are collectively called "rituals".
Fortunately, as a former Fourth Ring Psychic of [Great Source], Song Shi knew the steps of many rituals.
He suddenly raised his right hand, bit the inside of his palm, and tore out a wound that was as deep as the bone, and blood dripped instantly!
Song Shi raised his head high and clenched his fingers tightly, letting the blood slip through his forearm from the closed fingers and drip down.
Like ignited firewood, the blood began to burn, spurting out red-gold flames!
“——I swear!”
"Before the nineteenth sunrise, I will burn the enemies of this body with fire! I will sacrifice the blood of my enemies to the road! I will sacrifice the spirit of my enemies to the road!"
Gazing at the starry sky in front of me , stepping on this road that had been traveled once before, Song Shi roared loudly:
"I swear an oath in the name of Song Shi! I will bear witness on the road! If you violate the oath, you will be punished by burning your five internal organs." ! ”
——Ritual·[Blood and Fire]!
The three light groups paused for a moment.
Then, these three light groups exploded with a bang! Turn into countless overflowing points of light!
And from among the countless flying light points, three obviously larger light groups jumped out, dragging the stream of light towards Song Shi!
Dao Tu recognized Song Shi’s oath.
The entire starry sky began to tremble, like an illusion about to be shattered.
Song Shi tried his best to open his eyes wide and looked directly at the three light groups flying towards him - when he saw the third one, he didn't hesitate anymore and clenched it tightly!
The next moment, the starry sky completely collapsed.
The young man’s consciousness began to fall into reality again——
[Dayuan] Daotu, the first-level psychic, Song Shi.
Possess the psychic skill, [Forging Flame]!
