.....
Night, at Lake Heart Hotel
Shin is walking on a garden not far from the Hotel. He is digesting the details of their fight against the Bulky Man. Then after few minutes in deep thought, Shin do so shadowboxing exercises.
Shin is doing it for an hour before he feel a gust of wind being attracted in his body. Shin stop what he is doing and regulate his breathing while absorbing the 'Force of Nature' that is coming to him, then he transform it into his own 'Qi'.
*Bang!*
After a few monts, he heard sothing explode inside his body and after that, more and more 'Force of Nature' co towards Shin.
'Huu~.' Shin exhales a lot of air, then he open his eyes and throw a straight punch in front of him.
*Bang!*
Then a loud sound is created. Shin look at his right hand and clench it a few tis before saying. "Looks like I have benefited in that fight. Now I have broken through to the late phase of 'Qi Refinent Stage' and can start preparing to form a 'Golden Core', so that I can breakthrough to 'Core Formation Stage'"
Shin do so regulating exercise to get use to his improve strength. Shin manage to adjust himself after two sets of exercise.
He is about to go back to the Hotel, when he felt a presence coming towards his direction. He stop his steps and see a silhouette not far from him.
Shin focus his eyes on the silhouette while walking towards it. Shin froze when got a clear view on who is it.
Shin saw a beautiful lady wearing a pure white martial-art suit. The martial-art suit is perfectly fit on her body, showcasing her perfect figure even from a far.
As the girl get nearer to Shin, and when he get a clear view on her face, His eyes get even more wider. She have silver hair tied on a ponytail showcasing her perfect oval face. Her brows are perfectly arc in a curve matching her clear round eyes with blue colored irises coupled with long eyelashes.
Her sharp nose is matching her pinkish white lips. And the expression on her face is wearing a cold deanor. The moonlight from the sky is shinning on her from ti to ti, making the scene even more like a fantasy. She looks like a beautiful Fairy that ca from another world.
But Shin is not concerned on any of that, because the girl looks so familiar to him. When the girl is almost 5 ters from Shin, he subconsciously said. "Big Sis."
The girl frown her brows when she heard what Shin have said. She look coldy on Shin while asking. "What did you say?"
Shin snap out in his daze state when he heard the girl's voice. He look at her face while replying. "Ah, sorry about that. I just mistaken you as soone I know."
Shin shook his head and walk towards the Hotel while putting his right hand on his chin and muttering to himself. "What the hell am I thinking? Big Sis Alyssa is already dead 7 years ago. What's more is their temperant are polar opposites plus this girl is few years younger than her, she is at least the sa age as ."
As Shin is passing though the girl's side, She heard Shin's muttering. She raise her brows even higher and turn around while calling out Shin. "Hey! What did you say just now?"
Shin stop his steps and look at the girl while frowning his brows. "Didn't I already said that just mistaken you as soone I know?"
The girl didn't buy Shin's reply and said. "That's not what I'm talking about."
"Then what are you talking about?" said Shin with a little annoyance on his face.
"Whose Alyssa are you talking about just now?" said the girl while releasing a cold aura.
Shin got startled at the girl's reply and said while squinting his eyes. "And why are you asking that?"
The girl got mad because she can't get what she wanted to know, so she she release a powerful ntal energy trying to suppress Shin.
Shin is surprise of the girl's action and said to himself. "ntal Energy? This girl is a ntalist?"
.....
'ntal Energy' is a formless power that cos from a person's mind and originated in ones spirit.
So people in this world have a powerful mind to control the brainwaves in their heads and transform it into their own weapon. And the energy that created in this is called 'ntal Energy'.
'ntal Energy' have a lot of uses. It can use as an detection ability to sense their surroundings more clearly. It can also be use to create illusions to fools one's senses. And it can even use to attack others ntally and etc.
The people that are adept at using this energy are called a 'ntalist'.
Unlike a Martial-Art Practioner, a ntalist is quite rare in this world because to beco a ntalist one not only need to have a very strong will power since birth, they also need to have a talent on controlling it.
But even though it is the case, there are still people that manage to passed down their knowledge regarding it. There are even so that use it as their family inheritance, and beco a Clan of 'ntalists'
There are three types of 'ntalist', the first are 'Psychic ntalists'. These 'ntalists' focuses on ntal attacks such as Telekinesis, Illusions, ntal Suppression, Mind Controlling and others.
Next is 'Fighting ntalist'. These 'ntalist' uses their 'ntal Energies' as a supplent for their physical attack and they can also cleanse their bodies using it, similar to inner 'Qi's of a Martial-Art Practioner.
Last are called 'Kaleidoscope ntalist'. These 'ntalists' are a little simple because they are just the combination the two previous 'ntalists'. Easy to hear but hard to accomplish because they have much harder breakthroughs because their minds need complent their bodies to master both of their ntal and Physical attacks.
Like Martial-Artists, ntalists also have their own realms. It is the Grandmaster Realm, Ruler's Realm, Venerable Realm and Exalted Realm.
In Grandmaster Realm, a ntalist needs to cleanse their minds to have a purer ntal Energy. They also form a 'Niwan Palace' inside their consciousness as a center of their mind and act as the storage of their ntal Energy. It is equivalent to a 'Golden Core' of the 'Core Formation Stage' of Foundation Building Realm of Martial-Artist.
They can also use ntal Energy force to attack others from a certain distance.
Next is Ruler's Realm, in this realm a ntalist can create sothing out of nothing. It is similar to 'Void Manifestation Stage' of 'Ascension Realm', the only difference is the energy that they using and the way of they are using it.
If in the 'Void Manifestation Stage', a Martial-Artist can create weapons and armors to aid them in battles, then 'Ruler ntalist' can create multiple things as their projectiles and barriers to block their opponents attacks.
The next realm is Venerable Realm. It is comparable to 'Domain Creation Stage' of 'Ascension Realm' expert, but they have different fighting style.
If 'Domain Creation' Expert have a territory called 'Domain' and large destruction skill called 'Domain Skills', then a 'Venerable Realm' ntalist have an 'Authority' and 'Formation Spells'.
Unlike the 'Domain' of Martial-Artist, where they can do anything inside it. An 'Authority' of a ntalist is just an perception range, but inside this perception range nothing can escape their senses.
ntalists can also use their skills much faster if they activate their 'Authority'. And can also be use to increase thier suppression on their enemies.
anwhile 'Formation Spells' have a lot of uses. There are different types of formations such as 'Slaughtering Formations' for attacking, 'Defensive Formations' for guarding, 'Illusion Formations' for fooling one's senses and many others.
Then the last but not the least is the 'Exalted Realm', in this realm a ntalist is as powerful as a Martial-Artist that reach 'Transcendent Realm'.
And similar to 'Transcendent Realm', 'Exalted Realm' is the peak of humanity. It is also not been fully explored because breaking through in this realm is much harder than in Martial-Art.
But if it is a 'Kaleidoscope ntalist' that manage to reach the 'Exalted Realm', then they are slightly stronger that a 'Transcendent Martial-Artist' because their mind and body are perfectly fuse to beco one.
In the entire World there are only 7 known Exalted ntalist and they are also in seclusion to discover more about this realm.
...
Going back to the ntalist Girl and Shin. Shin is frowning his brows because of the girl ntal suppression.
But contrary on him the girl is shock on Shin's reaction because if it is others they are already on the ground kneeling to her. Well to bad for her Shin has an innately powerful will power.
When the girl realize that a re ntal suppression is not effective to Shin, she start taking her battle stance for her to attack with other ans.
The girl take a step forward with her left foot while facing both of her left palms at Shin.Then she raise her left arm almost leveling it on her shoulders while lowering the other in front of her belly.
She take a deep breath and throw a palm strike in the air with her right arm, sending a ntal Energy force towards Shin.
*Swoosh*
The ntal Energy is quite swift, but Shin calmly enfold his left hand with inner 'Qi' and block the attack by deflecting it using the back of his hand.
*Bang!*
The ntal Energy exploded on Shin left side. Then Shin is about to open his mouth to say sothing but the girl ignore his actions and continue to attack by throwing a consecutive ntal Energy with her palm strikes.
*Swoosh*
*Swoosh*
*Swoosh*
*Swoosh*
'"F*ck, what the hell is wrong with this woman?" said Shin in his heart when see the girl's actions. Then he cover both of his hands with inner 'Qi' and continue to block the girl's attacks.
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
A series of explosion ring on both of Shin's side when blocking the attack. Shin frown his brow and said to himself. "This girl is using range attacks that ans she is a 'Psychic ntalist'. If I manage to get near her then I can suppress her since 'Psychic ntalist' are weak in lee combat."
That is what Shin want to say but before he make a his move, the girl suddenly sprints towards him and manage to reach him in just blink of a eye. Then she enfold her right hand with her ntal Energy and throw a powerful palm strike towards his chest.
Shin is gotten off guard because of the sudden developnt. Then he take a deep breath and his body instinctively move to cross his arms in front of his chest while bracing himself for the impact.
*Bang!*
Shin is send sliding backwards because of the attack. He exhales heavily while looking the girl cautiously. "A 'Kaleidescope ntalist'? This girl is really not simple, looks like I better need to take this on more serious manner."
What Shin didn't know is the girl is actually surprise with his reaction speed. "What? He manage to block that attack? Even if it is just an ordinary strike, the speed and power that I put in that strike is not sothing that anyone in 'Qi Refinent Stage' can react, especially in that kind situation.
"Just who is this guy and how did he just do that." she said to herself while looking at Shin coldly.
The beautiful girl look at Shin and asked. "Who are you?"
Shin frown his brows and said to himself. "What the is wrong with this lady? Did she just hit her head sowhere or is she suffering a Princess Syndro?"
When the girl see that Shin didn't reply, she asked once again. "Are you deaf? I am asking you, what is your na?"
'Did this girl think that she is the ruler of this world? Why the hell is she keep asking questions?' Shin got annoyed because the girl's attitude and reply frustratedly. "How about introducing yourself before asking other's."
'This guy don't know who I am? Is he so kind of bumpkin that ca from the mountains?' said the girl to herself while looking at Shin blankly for a second before going back with her cold look and replied. "You don't know who am I? But are you qualified enough to know my na?"
'This girl really like to ask questions. Don't tell she don't know how to have a conversation normally.' said Shin to himself before replying. "If that is the case, then I have no reason to tell you my na."
After that Shin turn around and starting to walk away. When the girl see that Shin have no intention of staying, she frown and yell at Shin. "Hey, I'm not done with you! I didn't said that you can go away already."
Shin ignore her and continue his steps. The girl got frustrated when she saw that Shin is ignoring her. She release her ntal Energy and enfold it to herself, then she sprints towards Shin while throwing so ntal Energy attacks.
This ti Shin didn't turn his head, he just tilt his head sideways or step on his left or right to dodge the ntal Energy attacks without looking.
When the girl get near on Shin's back she send a powerful palm strike and use a ntalist lee Skill.
'Formless Lotus Arts: Flying Feather'
Before the girl's palm strike manage to reach Shin, he use a movent skill. The soles of his feet glow with silver light and dodge the attack by changing his direction quickly.
'Flowing Water Arts: Shifting Movent'
Shin suddenly disappeared on girl's view resulting for her to hit nothing but thin air. The girl imdiately turn around and look at Shin that is now behind her.
"Aren't you underestimating too much? Showing off your skill without looking at your opponent? Looks like you are confident on yourself." said the girl while rotating the ntal Energy that she is releasing around her.
Shin shruggle his shoulders not minding the girls provocation. When the girl sees Shin's action and said to herself. "Looks like I need to take this guy more seriously, to teach him so lesson."
Then suddenly the girl's pupils turned rhombus while the aura that she is releasing beco fierce. And as if the ntal Energy around her understand it's user, it rotate even faster and transform into a formless power that is ready to obey her commands.
The look on Shin's face beco solemn because of the sudden change. He look at the girl cautiously while saying to himself. "Is that an ocular skill? No, it is more like an activation of a peak class talent."
"A peak class ocular talent? I wonder what talent is it. Is it similar to Arthur's 'Foresight'?" said Shin to himself while releasing his inner 'Qi' and wrap it on his entire body. Then he regulates his breathing to enters Deep ditation.
Shin entire body is covered with a silver-gray light while releasing a silent but deadly aura.
The girl is startled at first when she see Shin's changes, then after a few seconds she ford a satisfied smile while saying in her heart. "Eh? Looks like I bumped in to an interesting fellow. I guess I don't need to do my evening exercise today, since it is rare to find a suitable sparring partner with my talent. And what's more is the sa age as ."
