Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 249: The Third Ring: [Control]

When one understands the meaning of the "road", the "self" is born from the mortal body and the spiritual power is awakened.

——The first ring: [Awakening].

Psionics: When a psychic's understanding of his or her psychic powers deepens, he or she will transform the original unknown instinct into a power that can be driven freely, and with the help of experience accumulation and training, it will become a part of what he or she has mastered.

——The second ring: [Master].

And the third ring.

--【control】.

If the first stage is to obtain psychic power, the second stage is to regard psychic power as a tool, to understand it deeply, and to use it skillfully.

Then the third link is to integrate this tool with oneself. From then on, there will be no distinction. Everything is in the flow of mind. "Psychic power"... No, every part of "self" is controlled in the palm of your hand.

He is no longer an "ignorant person who has awakened psychic powers" or an "individual who uses psychic powers", but a simple and pure [Psychic]!
"I" is the psychic, and "the psychic" is me.

According to the definition of some classical factions, only the third ring is a true "psychic".

If it were in the Vanpusta Empire, no matter how poor his birth or how humble his family background, the moment he was promoted to a third-ring psychic, he and his bloodline would be given the title of "noble" and accepted by the nobles - those respected psychic nobles.

Even without considering these changes in power and status, just talking about the individuals themselves, they are absolutely "supernatural". If they must be called a species, then their only title is [Psychics].

If the transition from the first ring to the second ring can be overcome with time, then the transition from the second ring to the third ring is a difficult door that must be crossed head-on. However, most psychics cannot even glimpse this door until they die.

How long did it take me to reach this point in my previous life?
This thought emerged in Song Shi's mind. Without searching his memory, the young man remembered the answer.

——Five years.

It took me nineteen years to reach the pinnacle of the fourth ring, and before that, it took me five years from [Awakening] to [Control].

I really miss those days.
After being kicked out of the orphanage before he reached adulthood, he first moved goods at the dock for a few days, and then worked in the kitchen of a street restaurant for a while. Then, because he did not compete with the new employees who volunteered to take a pay cut, he was fired at lightning speed.

After that, he became a mechanic apprentice, a bar waiter, and a transport shuttle driver. Actually, being a bar waiter was quite easy, but unfortunately he could not hold back the troublemaker and cut the other person's throat in public. In order not to cause trouble to his boss, he had to run away overnight.

I like the climate in Fangdu very much. I am not so impressed with the taste of the food in Galanla, but the locals I met were all very welcoming. Cangxi is a place where martial arts are prevalent, and I learned a lot of fighting skills there. Unfortunately, for various reasons, I was unable to stay in any of the counties and provinces under the jurisdiction of the Pan-Eastern Continent Federation for long.

In the end, I was left with no other options and almost decided to join the Beiting Defense Front.

Although those guys are a little crazy and their brains aren't very useful, they are quite human compared to the other forces that make up the Pan-Eastern Continental Federation.

Unfortunately, before I could sign up, one day when I was walking at night, I happened to run into a group of three fully armed robbers on the run in an alley. The latter intended to kill me, but I killed them all with the help of the terrain cover. The SWAT team arrived late, confirmed the scene, detained me, questioned me, and recorded my statement, and gave me a reward. Then the idea of ​​joining the army disappeared.

It was at that time that I was pleasantly surprised to discover that bounty hunting was a very promising career.

But later on, I realized that more than half of the bounty was secretly deducted, probably because I was too young. But it was also a lesson, and I paid special attention to this later, and basically no one owed or deducted money.

After that, he was promoted to the second ring and finally left the Pan-Eastern Continental Union. From then on, he traveled around the world with his skills and met masters from all over the world.
Song Shi suddenly realized that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Then the young man opened his eyes.

His eyes were directed at the ground below him, and as if moved by his gaze, slight ripples appeared on the mirror-like ground, and tiny water lines spread out before quickly returning to calm.

"Dayuan."

Then, Song Shi raised his head.

The unimaginably magnificent world unveiled its curtain to the visitors, with brilliant stars hanging high in the sky, leaving traces of radiant light. The silent space seemed endless, with no edge visible.

——This is the final destination of every psychic.

Is my previous self also hanging there at this moment?
Song Shi took one last look at the starry sky and then walked forward.

In front of the straight road, there stands a huge gate, blocking all eyes that want to peek at the scenery behind.

Before he actually touched the door, just approaching it, he suddenly felt pressure. Every step forward required him to bear greater pressure. Even the mirror-like landing place below could not bear the weight and made a slight cracking sound.

This is a barrier to advancement.

But Song Shi's movements did not pause for the slightest.

In a trance, there seemed to be flames rising up, and the entire space was filled with pure red gold!
But when he really looked at the young man, there was no flame at all. His appearance was the same as usual. Song Shi just walked forward calmly, step by step.

Then, the huge and terrifying pressure slowly dissipated as the young man moved forward.

No, it didn’t “disappear.”

It was like dropping a red-hot copper ball into a pool of solidified butter. The oppression, which became increasingly terrifying as the distance increased and almost became tangible, was clearly melted away.

Even before it actually touches "Song Consciousness", it will be completely burned up.

There was no flame at all.

At this moment, Song Shi has become the "flame" itself. Beneath the outer outline of the young man, there is a stream of red-gold flames that is constantly surging and rising, and will never be extinguished!

——Control over “self”?

——Control of "psychic energy"?

This request, in this life, the moment I awakened my spiritual power again, I had already grasped it in my hands, without any shackles!

call--

When they were the last step away from the door, the pressure had reached an unprecedented level, and even Song Shi stopped for the first time.

Amid the slight sound of tearing cloth, Song Shi gently raised his right hand and stared at his five fingers.

Inch-by-inch winding cracks burst out from the surface of the skin and spread across the young man's body, with pure red gold flowing through them.

But at this moment, if someone else were watching here, they would be surprised to find that these cracks did not bring the slightest sense of damage.

On the contrary, it is more like a shell that has long been overwhelmed and has finally reached its limit, and is about to release the existence that has been restraining it.

The ultimate goal of the Great Source [Great Source] path is to achieve the "Great Source" that is enough to evolve everything. Even though this goal has not yet been successfully confirmed by a psychic, Song Shi's current psychic power is still far from this goal.

But to some extent, at this moment, he has completed some reproduction.

——[Song Shi], reshaped from the "flame", born from the "flame"!

The former mortal body was completely burned in the fire, leaving only the "will". With the "will" as the core, a new body was reshaped in the fire.

From then on, Song Shi as a [mortal] disappeared, and Song Shi as a [psychic] was born.

The third ring is accomplished at this moment.

Song Shi nodded slightly.

He didn't care about the cracks on his body surface that were slowly healing as his promotion was completed, but instead crossed the final distance and stood in front of the door.

The young man touched the door with his index finger, then pressed his entire palm on it, and pushing it open was easier than he had imagined.

In silence, the door slowly opened, and brilliant light burst out from the gradually expanding gap, sweeping towards the space in all directions, lighting up every corner. In front of the ocean of light, even those magnificent stars dimmed.

And from the infinite pure light.

A nearly shattered steel sword suddenly burst out!
It breaks the sea of ​​light, shatters doors, and penetrates the atmosphere.

——With a sharpness that surpassed all previous moments, it penetrated into Song Shi’s chest!
