Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 31 Basic Training Manual for Supernatural Abilities
Fan Ruichen shook his head, recalling the mysterious ability he had displayed earlier that day; it was an ability he had never possessed before. "It seems not."

Yang Nianqing nodded; she had already told him what had happened while he was unconscious. She pointed to the supernatural abilities manual on the table. "Those two people said this book contains some information about supernatural abilities; let's take a look."

Fan Ruichen and Yang Nianqing flipped through the manual on superpowers together.

It's called a manual, but it's really just a small book, about the size of a palm. The first sentence reads: "What's scary isn't ability, but the inability to control."

The beginning of this book is the preface, which basically says that having extraordinary abilities is not scary; what is scary is not being able to control those abilities.

The present society is in the Dharma-ending Age. The legendary cultivation of immortals no longer exists. The spiritual energy is thin, making it difficult for cultivators to succeed and for demons to become spirits. Therefore, there has been a persistent rumor on the internet that becoming a spirit is forbidden after the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, difficulty does not mean non-existence. Perhaps it is the way of Heaven to maintain balance. Although there are fewer cultivators in modern society, there are more and more people with special abilities, which have gradually formed a system. However, when you have superpowers that are different from ordinary people, many people will lose themselves and fall into depravity. Even during World War II, there were superhumans in various countries.

Compared to the number of ordinary people, those with superpowers are few, but they pose a significant threat to the general population. There have been instances where awakened superpowers have led to individuals losing their way, causing riots, embezzling funds, and committing crimes. To avoid public panic, the government concealed the existence of those with superpowers and established a National Superpower Department to manage them. Those who awaken superpowers must register with the government and are subject to its control; they are prohibited from using their powers to commit crimes, and their crimes are punished more severely. Some individuals with superpowers can even join the Superpower Department, holding ranks equivalent to military personnel.

Superpowers are divided into 10 levels, each level further divided into 3 tiers: high, medium, and low. Currently, most superpowered individuals are at level 3 or 4. It is said that level 9 strength is equivalent to a demon king, and level 10 is a legendary existence.

Superpowers are categorized into several types, roughly including offensive, defensive, supportive, healing, control, and special abilities. The training methods vary slightly between these types, but the methods for recovering from the aftereffects of superpowers are largely similar. Besides superpower hospitals and treatments provided by healing-type superpower users, meditation can also be used for repair. This is essentially mental power, but each person's mental power can only be used on themselves. Mental power is a special type, extremely rare. If the ratio of superpowered individuals to ordinary people is one in ten thousand, then the ratio of mental power users to ordinary superpowered individuals is one in a thousand.

The psychic ability is both offensive and defensive, silent and stealthy, capable of killing without a trace. Every psychic is incredibly terrifying. A level one psychic can easily eliminate an ordinary level three or four ability user without warning. While other abilities have strict hierarchies, making challenges to those of higher levels extremely difficult, psychic abilities can routinely overcome level barriers. In a sense, they disregard hierarchical distinctions.

The characteristics of each system and the basic training methods are described in detail above, but how far one can train depends on talent and diligence.

According to the above, Fan Ruichen should be a newly awakened superpower, a low-level level 1 mental superpower user. However, Fan Ruichen should be more powerful than described in the book, as he can control ghosts even at level 1.

Yang Nianqing deduced that mental power should be similar to her spiritual power. If she understood the working principle of mental power, then her spiritual power could serve as a healing ability.

"A superpower." Fan Ruichen suddenly realized that what he had today was a superpower. He had just felt anxious and used it naturally. After meeting Yang Nianqing, it was as if he had opened the door to a new world. He even had a superpower. It was like he was in a TV show.

Thinking of Yang Nianqing's ability to exterminate ghosts today, Fan Ruichen asked in confusion, "Qingqing, was that a superpower you had today?"

Yang Nianqing, who was still reading, thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, it's a different power system."

"So what is your ability?"

"I am a monk."

Upon hearing this, Fan Ruichen's eyes lit up, and he became secretly excited. "Is it the kind of cultivator who cultivates immortality?" Which young person in modern society hasn't read cultivation novels? Fan Ruichen was no exception; he even had a childish dream of cultivating immortality when he was younger.

Yang Nianqing chuckled and said, "You can understand it that way, but it's not that exaggerated. The spiritual energy in the world right now is simply not enough for people to cultivate into immortals, and the Heavenly Dao doesn't allow it either." When they left the secret realm, Gu Lang had told her about the current laws of the world. The Heavenly Dao had basically closed the path for humans to become gods. Demons find it difficult to become immortals, and humans find it difficult to walk the path of cultivation.

"I see." Fan Ruichen was a little disappointed. "Then what kind of cultivator is Qingqing?" Although she can't become an immortal, Yang Nianqing's ability to exterminate ghosts is quite remarkable, and she can also tell fortunes!

"Me?" Yang Nianqing chuckled lightly, "I am a talisman cultivator." Yes, a talisman cultivator. Gu Lang was proficient in the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, and was skilled in everything from exorcising evil spirits to divination. Yang Nianqing had also learned everything, but apart from fortune telling, divination, and feng shui, her forte was actually talismans.

Although there are fewer cultivators now, they are still divided into levels: Celestial Master, Earth Master, and Human Master. Each level is further divided into three grades: high, medium, and low. Yang Nianqing is a low-grade Celestial Master. Gu Lang once said that with her abilities, she is invincible among those of the same grade. Even the most powerful sword cultivator would have to avoid the sharp edge of a serious, peak-stage talisman cultivator, especially a talisman cultivator with spatial abilities. Never underestimate a talisman cultivator's trump card.

“Taoist cultivators seem quite powerful.” Yang Nianqing smiled brightly. “In a sense, talisman cultivators are equivalent to all-elemental ability users.”

Fan Ruichen was dumbfounded. Was it really that amazing?

She nodded, "That's how amazing it is."

'Ding-a-ling.' The doorbell rang, and Fan Ruichen got up to open the door. It must be the food he ordered. He stepped aside and told the waiter to put the food on the table.

"Qingqing, let's study it later. Come and eat."

"Okay." Yang Nianqing replied, put down her book, and sat down at the table. Fan Ruichen placed a plate of steamed sea bass in front of her.

"I wonder where Zhao Yi went looking for Qin Lan today. I'll ask him later," Fan Ruichen said, frowning, thinking he would call Zhao Yi again later.

"Ah."

A distinctive fishy smell filled her nostrils, and Yang Nianqing's face visibly paled. She gently covered her mouth and nose with her hand.

"What's wrong?" Fan Ruichen asked, pausing as he served the rice.

"It's nothing." She casually lowered her hand. "I'm going to the restroom."

When Yang Nianqing got to the bathroom, she turned on the water at the sink. The nausea she had just suppressed surged back up, and she vomited uncontrollably a few times. The sound of the water drowned out her vomiting. She rinsed her mouth with water and looked at herself in the mirror.

It's been almost a month, how should I put this?

Yang Nianqing quickly returned to the dining table. Fan Ruichen had already served the rice, and she subtly moved the fish a little away from herself.

After dinner, Yang Nianqing and Fan Ruichen discussed their superpowers for a while. He still couldn't control them very well, but it was getting late, so Fan Ruichen took Yang Nianqing home.

After watching Fan Ruichen leave, Yang Nianqing did not go home, but instead headed to another place.

Yan Long walked hurriedly, his mind replaying the words of his beloved mother. He couldn't help but laugh at himself. Yes, what did he have to offer that was worthy of her? She was a graduate of a prestigious university, and what was he? A construction worker carrying bricks. What did he have to hope for?
"Aren't you going to regret leaving like this?"

A woman's voice rang out, and Yan Long stopped in his tracks. A woman emerged from the darkness, the cold streetlights casting a chilling glow on her face.

"What are you going to do?"

Yang Nianqing didn't answer him, but just chuckled, "You'll regret it if you leave."
