Luo Nan calmed down. He fiddled with the small paper man between his fingers, then tossed it back onto the table a few seconds later. "This is because the prismatic structure requires a certain amount of strength. If the strength you gave me was equivalent to a steel structure, then what I gave me would be a spider web at most. "
"Strength... It's strength. That's right."
Papercut was helpless. Of course, he knew that the crux of the problem was the strength of the structure. If he were to investigate further, it would be the problem of the interference of the mental plane with the material plane. But these were all superficial phenomena!
Who could tell him that a mentally enhanced user with superb mental senses, who could send his soul out of his body as if it were nothing, and whose mental cultivation had nearly reached the B-rank standard couldn't even do the most basic thing of controlling objects with his mind. What was going on?
In the end, there was no answer to this question.
Not only was Papercut unable to get any results, but Bai Xinyan, who knew about this long ago, kept it a secret when Luo Nan went to the hospital for treatment. She didn't give Luo Nan any information that could be used as a reference.
Luo Nan originally wanted to ask He Yueyin, but after some thought, he gave up on this thought for the time being. Problems on the mental plane were largely self-perception. If even he couldn't figure out what was going on, then it was impossible to count on others.
The terrible state of affairs undoubtedly affected Luo Nan's mood. The following training sessions at the Frost River Waterway were simply disastrous. The quality was extremely terrible. The amount of time Luo Nan could last was even less than in the morning. Compared to last night, his endurance had dropped by 20%.
Luo Nan saw the relevant results and made preparations for additional training. However, Bai Xinyan didn't express anything. She let him pass the final moments of his time in the healing pod in peace.
"I still have to learn new things tonight. It's best if I take a nap and relax. Oh right, don't be late. "Bai Xinyan made medical records as she waved her hand to let Luo Nan leave.
In the past, Luo Nan would probably rejoice, but now he thought about it a bit more. Was this attitude a part of Happy (Fast) Healing? Sure enough, when a person is about to die, nothing is taboo?
Luo Nan thought about the results of his peeping from two days ago, and his mood turned even worse. He really wanted to crack open Bai Xinyan's skull and figure out just what kind of state he was in in her eyes. Or perhaps he wanted to peep again …. The problem was, how could he have such an opportunity every day?
Luo Nan left Renai Hospital with his mind in a jumbled mess. Tonight, he had already made an appointment to go to Boshan Manor to learn breathing techniques from Hall Master Xiu.
Last time he went to the daoguan, Luo Nan had the Phantom flying car as a means of transportation. He had already returned the flying car to Xie Junping this morning. Right now he was riding a low-altitude public transport, rushing towards the River Wu District under the curtain of night.
The first thing Luo Nan did after getting into the car was give his aunt a call. He informed her that he would be staying at the daoguan tonight.
In fact, he had already used Xue Lei's tiger skin to ask for leave from his aunt yesterday to confirm the situation of "not returning at night". But he knew his aunt's temperament very well. Right now, he had to make another phone call to comfort her. Otherwise, according to Madam Luo Shuqing, she would have personally brought him to pay a visit to Gym Master Xiu for his first official lesson.
By the time he finally ended the call, they were already halfway through the journey. At this hour, the bus was no longer as crowded as it was during the day. There were only a dozen or so people on the bus. They were all groggy or playing games with their wristbands.
Luo Nan sat at the back. He lowered his head and fiddled with his things. However, he was different from the others. He wasn't fiddling with an electronic device in his hand. Instead, he was fiddling with a thin greenish-yellow paper.
This was a special talisman paper that Papercut had given him. It was personally made by the psychic Mr. Gao. The special material was more suitable for the transmission of energy and information. In the hands of a true expert, this talisman paper could be used to deal with enemies. It was a bit extravagant to use it for practice.
But it would be fine if he could really get some ideas out of it!
Luo Nan followed the technique Papercut taught him. He slowly operated and tore the talisman paper into a palm-sized paper man. The incorporeal prismatic structure took shape as a whole.
At the same time, abundant soul strength poured down, completely submerging the paper man. Luo Nan could sense the texture of the paper, the rough edges of the torn paper, the crisscrossing creases. Not a single detail could be hidden from him.
But under the effect of soul strength, the paper man in his palm merely rolled around in a half-dead state. It then became motionless. His soul strength nearly crushed his body. It seemed to have no practical significance on the paper man.
"It's still like this …. Why?"
Back at Frost River Reality, his support for Xue Weilun and the other special police officers was no problem at all. The effects of controlling the Wraith Sign, influencing Cat Eyes, and even his own mental attack were real. But why couldn't it work when it truly fell on material materials?
Luo Nan looked out the window. The colorful night curtain of the metropolis was like fluttering cotton. It was empty and hard to see the real thing. His mind naturally extended out, passing through the deep void and flowing within the sea of lights of the metropolis. His perception became more real.
Within the clairvoyance of his perception, there were tens of thousands of living beings, the convergence of stars, and the meandering milky way. There were marvelous layers within, majestic and hazy. It was like a grand world, gorgeous and magnificent.
But when such a grand structure of the star river was cast onto the small paper man, not even a ripple was stirred up. The prismatic structure was still as strong as a spider web. He couldn't even feel any connection between the two.
An incorporeal and ice-cold barrier separated his consciousness from the real thing. They were infinitely close, but they had never truly fused.
It was like a dream and reality.
Could it be that this power was all fabricated? Could it be that the crazy ravings of his grandfather only existed on the plane of imagination?
No, no, this didn't make sense!
The beam of light from Luo Nan's consciousness cut through the star river. It definitely wasn't limited to a radius of one or two kilometers. There were many fulcrum points within the enormous metropolis. There were normal people, Awakened ones, Oblatum Knights, crows, Darksider races ….
They were real, giving him feedback at all times.
How could this kind of perception be a dream?
Luo Nan arrived at the Divine Yu Gym above Boshan Building in a daze. It was already nine o 'clock in the evening. The students of the daoguan had long since dispersed. Only Xue Lei remained here. He came out early to welcome Luo Nan.
"Nanster, the gym master is waiting for you inside."
Luo Nan suppressed his chaotic state of mind. He was a bit embarrassed. "I'm late."
"Not at all. It's mainly because the daoguan doesn't accept new business. We finished our business at eight o 'clock. You're actually quite early. It's mainly because you're just getting started. You'll need some time. Relax. I'll be your protector tonight. "
Xue Lei pulled Luo Nan inside. The lights in the front and middle courtyards of the daoguan had already been turned off. It was late in the autumn night. Luo Nan walked along the winding corridor. Luckily, Xue Lei's voice was loud. It diluted this feeling quite a bit.
Luo Nan was quite baffled. "You're spending the night at the daoguan as well?"
"Of course. I've always been the gym master's assistant …. Yes, I'm also an interpreter."
"Huh?"
Luo Nan and Xue Lei had already entered the backyard in the blink of an eye. The light of the humanoid stone lanterns illuminated the front courtyard. Light and shadow separated, like an exquisite oil painting.
