Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 15 Beginner
The next day, Ji Fuyou bought a high-speed rail ticket to Tiandu City, the capital of Zhongzhou.

The boarding location was not Xingguang North Station, but Chiyang North Station.

As the capital of Chuzhou, Chiyang City continues to expand northward and now borders Xingguang City. Ji Fuyou, who lives in the south of the city, finds it closer to take the train from Chiyang North Station than to Xingguang North Station.

After boarding the bus, we arrived in Tiandu City at 2 PM after a journey of more than six hours.

"I don't have much time left..."

Ji Fuyou did not delay and arrived at the Tian Du City Spiritual Ability Association as soon as possible.

When he arrived at the Tian Du City Spiritual Ability Association, he discovered that the association occupied no less than 10,000 square meters in the city where land was extremely valuable.

Buildings imbued with a profound sense of history stand majestically amidst lush greenery.

In front of the association, there is a plaza of over 10,000 square meters.

Such high specifications...

It is comparable to the three academies and nine ministries.

When Ji Fuyou entered the hall, he found a statue standing at the entrance—Gu Qing, the Federation's first master-level mental ability user.

He achieved spiritual mastery on November 21, 2029, less than two years ago.

Furthermore, the Mental Ability Users Association, which should theoretically be deserted, was surprisingly bustling with activity. Mental Ability Users, whose number in Starlight City was less than a hundred, were coming and going here in considerable numbers.

As soon as he entered, while he was still looking around, a woman in uniform came up to him and asked, "Hello, do you have an appointment?"

"I have made an online appointment for the assessment of the primary mental ability professional title."

Ji Fuyou said.

"Please show me your appointment code, sir."

"it is good."

After scanning Ji Fuyou's reservation code with the device, the woman led him inside.

A short while later, another man in his thirties came out to greet them.

"I will accompany and assist Mr. Ji throughout the entire process of completing his professional title assessment. Please follow me."

The man led Ji Fuyou to a room that was over 100 square meters in size.

In the center of the house, there is a jade pillar with a sphere on top. Around the house, no less than a hundred small spheres are suspended by silk threads.

"For us mental ability users, there are two most important things: mental scale and mental energy concentration... First, we need to test your mental scale."

The man pointed to the sphere and said, "This instrument and its supporting facilities form a special mental energy resonance array. When the instrument is activated, there will be special sounds inside. All you have to do is to fully activate your mental energy and perceive every sound. Press the button on the jade platform every time you perceive a sound, until you can no longer perceive any sound at all."

Ji Fuyou found it somewhat novel.

He glanced at it, placed his finger on the button on the jade platform, and focused his attention on sensing the sphere in front of him.

Soon, a unique sound wave, seemingly capable of resonating with his spirit, emanated from it.

Ji Fuyou pressed a button as instructed.

Immediately afterwards, a second sound wave appeared.

Then the third, the fourth, the fifth...

The entire verification equipment is easy to understand and convenient to operate.

As time went on, Ji Fuyou sensed more and more sounds, while the sounds and mental vibrations coming from inside the sphere became smaller and smaller, making them increasingly difficult to detect.

Thirty, forty, fifty, sixty...

He only stopped after the ninety-first time when Ji Fuyou could no longer perceive the resonance between sound and spirit.

He composed himself and turned his gaze to the man beside him.

The man checked the numbers projected on the device, his eyes widening in slight surprise: "14.1!?"

"Ok?"

Ji Fuyou's gaze immediately fell on him: "How much?"

"Mr. Ji, your mental scale has reached 14.1!"

The man's words already carried a hint of respect: "With this mental scale, as long as you complete the mental energy atomization, or increase the mental scale by another 0.9, you can take the intermediate mental energy user title assessment."

"Unexpectedly..."

Ji Fuyou himself was somewhat surprised.

He estimated that his mental strength level wouldn't be too low.

It's definitely more than 10 quarters.

Even if he thought about it more highly, he only felt that his mental level could reach 12, or at most 13.

I never expected...

It's 14:10!
With an initial mental strength value of 14.1, who dares to say he wasn't born with innate mental power?!

"It seems that the exam for the junior professional title will no longer require a test on mental concentration."

Ji Fuyou Road.

"No need, absolutely no need."

The man smiled and said, "Mental strength scale and mental strength refinement complement each other, but the scale value is the main factor. Even if mental strength is atomized, it may not be possible to push the mental scale to above 10, but a mental scale above 10 can definitely cultivate mental strength."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

Before the appearance of the Source Crystal, those who practiced meditation and spiritual cultivation often had to atomize their spiritual power before they could hope to raise their spiritual level to 10 or higher.

Just like a martial artist needs to develop internal strength to enhance their physical attributes to more than 10 points.

The emergence of Keyuanjing has changed this common sense.

There are also some people whose mental scale exceeds 10, yet they still haven't been able to complete the mental energy atomization.

"I'll enter the information and make the certificate for Mr. Ji right away. It will be ready in half an hour. Please wait here for a moment." As he spoke, he led Ji Fuyou out of the examination room and into a private rest room.

He waited in the lounge for a few minutes, and soon a well-dressed and elegant woman brought him tea and snacks.

"Hello Mr. Ji, I am Chu Qing from the Human Resources and Social Security Department of Tiandu City. Congratulations on completing the assessment for the primary level of spiritual ability professional title."

She spoke with a graceful and poised demeanor.

"Hello."

Ji Fuyou responded politely.

“It’s easy to atomize and liquefy the spirit, but it’s extremely difficult to raise the spirit level. After all, the source crystals that can enhance the spirit are much rarer than those that can enhance the body. Mr. Ji has a profound foundation, so it’s only a matter of time before he can achieve atomization of the spirit.”

Chu Qing smiled and extended an invitation: "Our Tiandu City has always been extremely welcoming to talents like Mr. Ji. If Mr. Ji could settle down in our Tiandu City..."

"I will think about it."

Ji Fuyou gave a perfunctory reply.

"Mr. Ji, there's no need to rush to refuse. For someone with your extraordinary potential, we can offer you a special talent channel in Tiandu City, granting you C-level talent benefits. This includes priority enrollment for your children's education, a housing subsidy of no less than 20 yuan, and a 300 million yuan interest-free loan as special training funds..."

C-level talent?
This is already the standard for an intermediate-level mental ability user.

Many advanced-level martial artists may not be able to apply for C-level talent benefits.

As for the 20 yuan housing subsidy...

In Tiandu City, the price of housing is 6 yuan per square meter, and 20 yuan is only enough to buy a toilet.

Although Ji Fuyou wasn't very interested, he still said, "I need to understand these things in detail and discuss them with others. Can you add me as a friend and send me a detailed form later?"

"It's my pleasure."

Chu Qing and Ji Fuyou exchanged Star Messages, and at the end she said with a smile, "Mr. Ji, if there is anything you need to know, you can ask me at any time. I will serve you as soon as I see it."

"it is good."

Ji Fuyou responded.

Chu Qing didn't linger in the lounge and risk annoying anyone. After a brief chat, she took her leave.

The efficiency of the newly established department is beyond doubt.

In less than half an hour, a brand new certificate was delivered to Ji Fuyou.

Things went so smoothly that even Ji Fuyou himself was somewhat surprised.

Thinking back on my experience at the Association of Mental Powers...

There was no queue.

All green lights all the way, with a dedicated staff member accompanying them.

This made him realize something.

"While Starlight City does value psychic individuals, including martial artists, the level is limited. They are treated as exceptional talents. However, in Central State, in Tiandu City, the political center of the Federation, the preferential treatment that psychic individuals enjoy is clearly different."

It seems that the bigwigs in the decision-making level also foresaw the changes that might come from the continued development of the spiritual ability system.

Ji Fuyou didn't think about it in detail.

Once he got his documents, he immediately changed his train ticket back home.

"6 o'clock, arrive in Xingguang City at 12 o'clock."

It's not too late.

Ji Fuyou quickly changed his train ticket.

However, after changing his ticket, he thought of something else.

Ji Qingqing asked him to "go on a business trip" to take more photos and videos so that they could be used as the first video on her new account.

"I've already registered the number."

Ji Fuyou glanced at the account named "Ten Thousand Star Years".

The meaning of this name...

It's probably a vision for the future.

"With only about an hour left before the high-speed train departs, there's no chance to take photos at other scenic spots."

He pondered, his gaze drifting toward the Association of Mental Powers.

"The Association of Spiritual Abilities is very grand and magnificent, and all of its buildings are old and renovated, which is quite unique..."

Anyway, it's about completing Ji Qingqing's task.

Immediately, I took out my phone and started snapping pictures everywhere.

During the incident, some staff members came to stop him, but after seeing his certificate, they not only did not politely invite him to leave, but also helped him take a few photos.

Their service was so good that it didn't feel like a government department at all.

After taking the photos, Ji Fuyou tidied himself up a bit and didn't bother Ji Qingqing.

Starlight Wings also has an operations and publicity department, so editing videos is not a difficult task for them.

After sending the videos and photos to his subordinates, he boarded the high-speed train back to Xingguang City.

In one day, I completed the trip to Central Plains, obtained the Junior Spiritual Ability Certificate, and also finished collecting materials for my first video.

The entire process was carried out swiftly and decisively.

The problem likely lies in the description of the levels of the Association of Spiritual Abilities, which was compared to the various departments.

Now, all of these descriptions have been deleted.
