Chapter 97 00097
97 Chapter - Mental Training Chamber
Ye Yao was led by Luo Jianhua to a vast training ground.
The training ground was hidden deep within a hundred meters of rock strata beneath the Countermeasure Bureau.
Ye Yao walked out of the elevator, her face filled with awe.
“So there’s such a huge space hidden underground.”
The three passed through a ten-meter-long decompression tunnel, and their vision suddenly widened.
The dome was over fifty meters high, with three circular orbital rings suspended from it.
Holographic projectors gliding along the tracks were projecting dynamic targets.
Some transformed into high-speed moving afterimages, while others split into dozens of energy clones.
Seeing this, Ye Yao suddenly entered game mode.
She was itching to shoot.
She wished she could show off her skills and hit all sorts of targets.
Shooting targets in games lacked realism.
Now that she could experience a real target practice game, how could Ye Yao not be interested?
The white-haired girl even stopped to watch for a while.
An Ability User was practicing long-range attack abilities.
Ten small energy orbs floated at the tips of her ten fingers.
With a wave of her hands, ten tiny beams of light swiftly hit the moving targets.
When the frequency sped up, it was comparable to an anti-aircraft gun.
Ye Yao could only see the afterimages of the Ability User’s movements.
In just a few seconds, hundreds of thousands of light beams all hit their targets, making her a human-shaped thermal weapon, compensating for the poor flexibility of anti-aircraft guns.
With 360-degree, dead-angle-free shooting, the terrifying firepower was astonishing.
“It’s…it’s spinning!”
Ye Yao was dumbfounded.
Even if this scene were in a game with cheats, it wouldn’t feel out of place.
Mo Qiuli mused.
“I also practiced the accuracy of my Mercury Beam here, but I can’t compare to that adult.”
“It’s okay, the future is bright. You’ll definitely be able to spin like that too someday.”
Ye Yao moved on to the next area.
The ground of the new area was not flat concrete, but rather a mosaic of numerous memory alloy modules, with a pressure-sensing light embedded in the edge of each module.
Here, too, Ability Users were using the training facilities.
They could see what was happening inside through the transparent walls.
The Ability User was seen clenching her fists, muscles taut, and slamming them onto the ground.
“Boom!”
The alloy modules instantly caved into a two-meter-deep pit, but three seconds later, they slowly rose like liquid, returning to their original state.
Only the sensing lights still glowed with an orange-red afterglow, indicating the force of the impact.
Luo Jianhua introduced, “This is where strength data is tested. Would you like to try it, Big Sister?”
Ye Yao glanced at her panel.
【Strength: 5】
Even with one Fission, it would only be 25.
“Is Xiao Luo trying to see Big Sister make a fool of herself?”
Her strength was pathetic; going to test would only be embarrassing.
Luo Jianhua showed an innocent expression.
“How could that be? I just wanted to see Big Sister show off her skills.”
The three arrived at a new area.
Luo Jianhua quickly introduced, “This is where Ability Users train their Spiritual Power.”
Ye Yao quickly became interested, as expected.
Before her eyes was a row after row of meditation pods, full of sci-fi flair.
They looked like the game pods from anime, as if lying inside would activate a game.
Was this one of the Countermeasure Bureau’s three major methods for Ability Users to enhance their Spiritual Power?
Ye Yao suddenly wanted to try if it would work for her.
If it had a significant effect, it seemed she wouldn't have to painstakingly extract attribute points from her family anymore.
Luo Jianhua slowly explained.
“These are Spiritual Training Pods. Lying inside allows you to enter a special spiritual space through the facility’s functions.
There, you will encounter your spiritual clone, whose Spiritual Power will be slightly higher than your own.
Within the spiritual space, abilities will be restricted, and you can basically only duel the clone with Spiritual Power.
This combat process will serve to activate and train your Spiritual Power, and your Spiritual Power will gradually increase over time.”
“Oh, wow~”
Ye Yao’s eyes lit up, eager to try.
“Is it very efficient?”
“Hmm... it depends on the person. Some Ability Users show significant improvement, while for others, it’s very slow.”
Luo Jianhua began to consider her own situation.
She herself seemed to be the type with significant improvement.
More than half of her over four hundred Spiritual Power was boosted by the Spiritual Training Pods.
Some people weren’t as efficient.
Mo Qiuli felt a little emotional.
“It’s been a while since I trained here…”
She was addicted to Magical Girl activities and couldn’t extricate herself.
She was addicted to participating in friend activities at Ye Yao's house and couldn't extricate herself.
Anyway, she just couldn’t extricate herself.
She was having too much fun to think of returning home.
She used to always want to improve her strength and fight as a strength-type Magical Girl.
But now, she only wanted to run the Magical Girl Alliance with Ye Yao and Xiao Luo.
Alas, she had forgotten her roots.
“I want to try.”
Ye Yao didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
However, before trying, she had to ask a few questions.
“By the way, Xiao Luo, after entering the spiritual space, will anyone else know what’s happening inside?”
Luo Jianhua shook her head.
“No, it’s essentially your consciousness space, but the Spiritual Training Pod can inject external Spiritual Power to create a spiritual training ground. Besides yourself, no one can peek into your spiritual space.”
Ye Yao nodded thoughtfully.
“It seems that even if I’m getting thrashed by my clone in the spiritual space, no one will see it.”
Then she asked again.
“What do you mean by abilities being restricted?”
“It means that overly complex abilities cannot be fully used within the spiritual space.”
Luo Jianhua gave Ye Yao an example.
“For instance, Ability Construct. Some Ability Users rely on Ability Construct for combat. After entering the spiritual space, they cannot ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) create Ability Construct, so their ability is essentially useless, and they can only engage in close combat with their spiritual body.”
“There are also other abilities that lean towards physical functions. Those abilities focused on strength and speed cannot be used normally in the spiritual space, and in the end, they can only rely on pure spiritual body close combat.”
Ye Yao understood.
The strength of the spiritual body depended on Spiritual Power.
And the spiritual clone’s Spiritual Power would be a notch higher than the original body’s.
A definite level suppression!
Wasn't this just getting beaten up?
No wonder it could enhance Spiritual Power.
It was equivalent to training one’s ability to withstand blows.
Luo Jianhua added.
“However, abilities that focus on Spiritual Power will have fewer restrictions. For example, my 【A Leaf Obscures the Eye】 can basically be used normally within the spiritual space, allowing me and the clone to influence each other and enhance training.”
“If I successfully use my ability in the spiritual space, will it reflect in reality?”
“No.”
Ye Yao nodded, her decision already made.
“I want to try.”
“Of course, Big Sister, I’ll apply for you.”
The Spiritual Training Pods weren't available for use whenever one wished.
Firstly, outsiders couldn't use them.
Ye Yao was currently only in the registration phase and was not officially a member of the Countermeasure Bureau.
Naturally, she didn't have the corresponding accounts or rights.
Fortunately, Luo Jianhua was there.
Luo Jianhua used her own access code to open a Spiritual Training Pod.
Logically, this was against the rules.
But Ye Yao was the rule within the Countermeasure Bureau.
Even if discovered, it would be treated as if nothing happened.
Ye Yao smoothly lay inside, her face full of anticipation.
Then the Spiritual Training Pod activated itself.
As the hatch closed, an electronic voice sounded in Ye Yao’s ear.
“Detecting user’s Spiritual Power at 75. A spiritual clone with Spiritual Power 99 will be simulated. Please prepare.”
