The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

"There's no other way, so we have to use observational research to make guesses. I tend to agree with one of these guesses. Have you heard of 'the aggregation of supernatural crystal nuclei'?"

Gu Ran frowned slightly: "The cohesiveness of supernatural crystal cores? Forgive my ignorance, this is the first time I've heard of this."

It must be said that talking with scholars and researchers of the caliber of the president of Lanxin University was indeed very rewarding. He was able to hear a lot of hidden knowledge and cutting-edge scientific information, such as the fact that two spatial ability users cannot coexist for many years, and that the "aggregation of ability crystal cores" was something he had never known before.

Xue Yingsong was not impatient, unwilling to explain, or pretentious. Instead, he explained in a gentle and detailed manner, as if he were teaching a student: "There are countless types of superpowers in this world. The Human Alliance once tried to count all the superpowered individuals, but they quickly gave up on this foolish idea. So, no one in this world should be able to say exactly how many types of superpowers there are."

"Although the operation ended in failure, it sparked some researchers’ interest in research on the types of superpowers, including a study on similar superpowers, which yielded some interesting results."

"That is, many similar superpowers are actually higher and lower level superpowers, and higher level superpowers have a certain 'attraction' and 'fusion' to lower level superpowers. This 'attraction' and 'fusion' is called 'superpower crystal core cohesion'. In other words, under certain circumstances, higher level superpower crystal cores can 'attract' and 'fusion' lower level superpower crystal cores."

“Similar abilities to spatial ability users are rare, or even non-existent. It is truly unique and possesses a very strong uniqueness—except when another spatial ability user is discovered, at which point another spatial ability crystal core will appear.”

Gu Ran's face showed a hint of shock: "You mean that although space ability users don't have a hierarchy like other ability users, they also have 'ability core aggregation' to some extent. And the specific manifestation of this property is that 'old space ability cores' will be attracted to 'new ability cores' and then fuse with them after a period of time? And the old space ability user will die as a result?"

Xue Yingsong smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right. That's what the researchers at Lanxin University guessed at the time. But guesses are just guesses. Even the most rigorous guesses lack actual evidence. So whether it's true or not, only the space ability users themselves know."

......

Outside the screen, everyone was also shocked by this news.

Space ability users possess "ability crystal core aggregation," does that mean that space ability users are actually attracted to each other while also repelling each other?

The attraction originates from the superpower crystal core, while the repulsion is due to the replacement of the old with the new. When a new space superpower user appears, it signifies that the old space superpower user is about to die.

"Is this characteristic true? If space ability users are really like this, then how selfless they are! Each generation of space ability users does not kill newly emerging space ability users, but instead takes them in as students, teaches them carefully, and treats them as their successors."

"This is unbelievable. Has no space-age ability user ever thought of killing a newly emerged space-age ability user to avoid their own demise?"

"Wait a minute, have you forgotten? When Gu Ran was in Saint-Joy City, Leng Feng said that there is a saying passed down from generation to generation among space ability users: this is the mission of space ability users. Could it be that this mission is what makes each generation of space ability users so 'selfless'?"

"Space ability users, space ability, what secrets are hidden behind them? I've never heard of such a secret before, it really makes me very curious."

Amid the discussion, everyone turned their attention to the parties involved once again. However, this time, there were two parties involved: one was Gu Qingqing, a spatial ability user, and the other was naturally Xue Xiling, the most knowledgeable person present.

Xue Xiling didn't hide anything:

"Lanxin University did conduct such a study, but the conditions for the 'cohesion of supernatural power crystals' to take effect are very strict. The two supernatural power crystals must be extremely similar, such as fire supernatural power and heating supernatural power. Heating supernatural power is a superior supernatural power of fire supernatural power. The heating supernatural power crystal must be attached to the fire supernatural power crystal without any environmental interference, and this fusion process is very slow. Have you ever seen a snake eat? It's about the same speed as digestion."

"If there are any other interfering factors, the fusion will be suspended. Once the fusion is complete, the ability crystal core will indeed become more energetic, and the energy within it will be purer. However, if the abilities are not very similar, their ability crystal cores will not react at all."

"Actually, there is a question that has always troubled the researchers at Lanxin University, which makes this conjecture just a conjecture and unable to have a higher degree of credibility."

"It's about spatial abilities... If a new spatial ability crystal core can really fuse with an old one, then with each generation, wouldn't this spatial ability crystal core become stronger and stronger, and wouldn't the next generation of spatial ability users be stronger than the previous generation?" Xue Xiling paused slightly here, organized her words, and continued, "But the actual situation is not like that. Although each generation of spatial ability users will eventually become one of the top experts of their time."

"However, there are still differences between top experts. If we look at a thousand years, the differences between top experts in each era are even greater. According to the literature, there are indeed strong and weak spatial ability users in each generation."

"So this contradicts the 'cohesiveness of ability crystal cores,' unless the ability crystal cores of space ability users can split off. Although each generation will merge with the space ability crystal cores of the previous generation, it will also split off the seeds of the next generation, allowing space ability users to pass on their abilities from generation to generation. This conjecture can explain why different space ability users in each generation are of varying strengths, rather than getting stronger and stronger. It can also explain why space ability, such a unique ability, will have new owners at an appropriate time, achieving the result of passing it down from generation to generation."

After Xue Xiling finished explaining, she looked at Gu Qingqing, who was surrounded by the spatial interference device.

Gu Qingqing's eyes still showed shock. She paused for a moment and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I don't really know the inside story myself. But my teacher did pass away ten years after taking me as her student. Logically speaking, with her strength, she should have lived longer. At the time, I thought she had suffered some kind of injury that never healed, which ultimately affected her lifespan."

"My teacher passed away peacefully. She didn't say anything to me, including the sentence 'Space ability users are coordinates,' which I only learned today. After my teacher's death, I followed her last wishes and randomly teleported her body to the deepest part of space, a place that no one could find. My space ability crystal core did not increase significantly during this process, at least I didn't feel it myself, and at that time I had already broken through to S-level ability user."

An S-level ability user's sensitivity and control over their ability crystal core is incomparable to what it was before, a world of difference. Therefore, everyone can understand what Gu Qingqing means: she did not receive any benefit from the enhancement of her ability crystal core from her teacher's death, otherwise she would have been able to sense it.

Upon hearing Gu Qingqing's explanation, everyone's expressions varied. Some believed her, while others didn't show it outwardly. However, everyone maintained appearances and didn't question Gu Qingqing directly.

Because in fact, only Gu Qingqing's own words are the most authoritative on this matter, and even other powerful figures in Vermilion Bird City could not possibly know more about it than Gu Qingqing.

Because spatial ability users are the symbol of Suzaku City and hold a special status, generally no one dares to disturb their residences.

Each generation of space ability users are also very detached from worldly affairs. They generally do not participate in the mundane affairs of Suzaku City, but only help Suzaku City when necessary, such as when other main cities attack Suzaku City. Although the possibility of this is very small, and there are only a few recorded instances to date, if such an event occurs, space ability users must help Suzaku City defend against the enemy.

The influence of a spatial ability user is enormous, especially that of an S-level ability user, whose influence is at the level of war strategy.

For example, without Gu Qingqing's spatial abilities, the allied forces would not have been able to capture Meteor City so quickly and covertly, and besiege Gu Ran.

Therefore, the importance of spatial ability users lies not only in their own strength, but also in their strategic importance to Suzaku City. This is why even though Gu Qingqing wanted to save Gu Ran at all costs, the powerful figures did not dare to kill Gu Qingqing rashly.

Unless it is absolutely impossible to stop Gu Ran from escaping without Gu Qingqing's death, all the powerful figures present must consider the reaction of Vermilion Bird City after killing Gu Qingqing.

Gu Qingqing's words surprised everyone. They didn't expect that the secret of the space ability user, which they thought was about to be revealed, would actually be a false alarm, making the secret of the space ability user even more elusive.

Based on the conversation between Gu Ran and Leng Feng in Saint-Joy City shown on the screen, as well as the current conversation between Gu Ran and the former president of Lanxin University, and Xue Xiling's confirmation, they can be certain that the space ability user possesses a great secret. However, this secret is broken by Leng Feng, as if she wants to take these secrets to the deepest space, making them impossible for anyone to find.

Teacher, what role are you playing?

Gu Qingqing's expression was very complicated.

She was certain that her teacher had always doted on her, and she could feel it until the day the teacher passed away; those eyes couldn't lie.

However, the teacher did indeed hide many things from her, including her relationship with her brother and the secret passed down through generations of spatial ability users.

Whether people believed it or not, Gu Qingqing stopped speaking after saying these words, returned to silence, and looked at the light screen.

Xue Xiling didn't get the truth she wanted, and her brows furrowed slightly. However, she ultimately didn't make things difficult for Gu Qingqing or use any methods against her. She continued to look at the light screen.

So does everyone else.

Gu Ran's memories are not over yet, which means there is still a possibility of revealing the truth. They can see the truth of what happened back then in Gu Ran's memories.

......

In the light screen.

Xue Yingsong raised his coffee to Gu Ran, then lowered his head and took a sip:

"Look, you and I are the same kind of people. Not only do we have abilities that are different from martial arts and superpowers, but we also have a similar passion for scientific research. Join Lanxin University and my team, and you will be able to fully display your talents and ambitions."

Gu Ran still didn't budge. He wanted to get more information out of her, so he continued to ask:

"What exactly is this ability you're talking about, this ability that we share but is different from martial arts and superpowers?"

129. What's more important for a woman than studying? A difficult job interview! 4.1K

"Psychic power" is what Gu Ran calls it. Before this, he thought that only he possessed this power. But now that Xue Yingsong also has this power, does that mean that others also have this power?

Furthermore, as the president of Lanxin University, Xue Yingsong would certainly have studied this power more. The other party's understanding of this power is definitely deeper than his. It would be wonderful if there were readily available knowledge and research results for him to learn about.

Snow greets the pine tree:

"This kind of power is actually very rare, just like spatial abilities. However, the uniqueness of telekinesis is not high, so there should still be other telekinetic users in the world. Like spatial abilities, telekinesis has been passed down in history, or rather, it has been recorded."

“Telekinesis is different from superpowers; it doesn’t have a cohesive nature. The most significant characteristic of this ability is that it is very helpful for scientific research. Of course, its destructive power is also very strong, but I still think its greatest use is to help scientific research.”

"You should be able to feel it too. Telekinesis can help you perceive the objects around you more clearly. It's like you have countless extra hands. I don't need to elaborate on how valuable this ability is for scientific research."

"However, telekinesis is incompatible with martial arts and superpowers. People who practice martial arts and those who awaken superpowers cannot possess telekinesis. At the same time, only people with an extremely strong will can awaken and unleash telekinesis."

"Therefore, the conditions for awakening a telekinetic are extremely difficult to meet. According to our statistics, the probability of awakening a superpower for each person is about 1/5. However, most of the awakened superpowers are just ordinary superpowers and do not play a significant role. Only a few superpowers can have a practical effect. However, even though their awakened superpowers are useless, they still exclude themselves from the scope of telekinetic users."

"If one's awakened supernatural talent is not high, then most people will choose to switch to martial arts. Even those who haven't awakened supernatural abilities will choose to cultivate martial arts if they want to gain extraordinary power, because supernatural abilities and martial arts are the two ways most people know to cultivate and become stronger. They know nothing about others."

"I personally believe that what makes telekinesis unique is not only that its source and operation are different from martial arts and superpowers, but also that it is not born to destroy but to build and help scientific research, creating more technologies that benefit humanity."

"Being able to become a telekinetic must mean you have the potential to become a great researcher. What you lack is the relevant education and learning. You are a telekinetic, so you have that potential. That's why I invited you to join Lanxin University and my research project."

Telekinesis is actually related to scientific research? And its greater use is in aiding scientific research?

This was something Gu Ran hadn't expected. However, he noticed that the other party was also using the word "psychic power," a word he had only come up with on the spot. Could this be a coincidence?

Gu Ran didn't show it, but asked directly, "Who gave the term 'psychic power,' and why is it called 'psychic power'?"

Xue Yingsong cleared her throat and continued, "The emergence of telekinesis, this extraordinary ability, is as ancient as superpowers and martial arts. However, because so few people possess it, there are very few related records. As for why it is called telekinesis, it is impossible to verify. All we know is that it has been called this since very early records."

"It's hard for me to explain the relevant content to you in just a few words. How about this, after you join Lanxin University, I will give you the relevant permissions and access. You can go to the Lanxin University Library to access books and materials of any level, and you can even look at some of Lanxin University's secret research results."

Temptation, blatant temptation.

The other party was clearly using such resources to lure Gu Ran, but she actually fell for it.

"Having telekinesis only means I have research potential, not that I have an existing ability that I can use immediately, right? What makes you think I can join your team right now?" Gu Ran asked with some curiosity.

Xue Yingsong: "It's okay. Even if you're just a research novice right now, you can be transformed after a short period of study. Moreover, those with psychic powers are considered promising students by ordinary people. They have a more sensitive perception of knowledge than the average person and can absorb knowledge more quickly. Therefore, their thirst for knowledge is usually far greater than that of ordinary people. I don't believe you've never studied before. Once you've experienced the joy of learning, you won't be able to stop."

Xue Yingsong's words made Gu Ran realize something.

So that's why he's so studious and learns so quickly.

Although he possessed the talent of telekinesis before, he awakened his superpower at a very young age in order to protect his younger sister, so his telekinesis did not manifest. Later, he taught himself martial arts and achieved some success, so at this time, his telekinesis power was still latent within him. It was not until he abandoned his martial arts power that the telekinesis power latent within him finally manifested.

Although the other party seemed to have explained a lot, Gu Ran felt that there was even more to hide.

Perhaps it was because they genuinely felt there was plenty of time ahead and that it was difficult to explain in a few words, or perhaps it was just an excuse to entice him to accept the other party's invitation.

Regardless, Gu Ran was indeed very interested in the details that hadn't been clearly explained, not just out of curiosity, but also because they seemed to be directly related to him and he felt they were very important.

So after a moment's hesitation, Gu Ran nodded and accepted Xue Yingsong's invitation.

Besides the factors mentioned above, he also admired Xue Yingsong's talent and knowledge, and after agreeing, he could also follow him and learn from him.

"So, Principal Xue, now you can tell me more, right? Why do you think that my meeting with your daughter was destined?" Gu Ran asked, frowning.

After arriving in Canglong City, all his decisions were made after careful consideration and were not influenced by anyone else. If it was all "arranged," that would be too terrifying.

And what exactly did Xue Yingsong mean when he said that he himself came to Xue Xiling's mother's side in the same way?

Those with spatial abilities have passed down a saying through generations: What about those with telekinesis? What secrets do those with telekinesis hold?

Xue Yingsong smiled slightly: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but being in the thick of it, it's actually hard to explain clearly. When you naturally find out, you'll understand. There are many secrets in this world, and all we can do is keep digging. As for whether they're good or bad, it's hard to judge before we uncover them. Alright, since that's the case, let's make a happy decision. I'll have Xiaoling show you around the school later so you can get familiar with it."

Looking at Xue Yingsong's smile, Gu Ran felt somewhat helpless, but there was nothing else she could do for now.

After Xue Xiling picked up Gu Ran, she kept staring at him, her eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of emotion that was hard to describe.
