"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If the enemy wants to move, I'll move first!" Seeing the thug launch an attack, Luo Chao preemptively struck, delivering a swift kick with the force of a storm, hitting the fat thug squarely in his large belly.
The fat thug had no ti to react and didn't expect this seemingly honest young man to have such astonishing leg strength. He instantly fell backward, landing flat on his back!
The stuttering thug saw this and imdiately lost his stutter, shouting, "You're looking for death, aren't you!"
Saying this, he raised his knife to stab, while another tall and skinny thug also lunged at Luo Chao.
At this mont, Luo Chao focused all his attention on the switchblade in the stuttering thug's hand, hearing a voice in his mind, "I'm going to stab through your belly, let your guts spill all over, and show you the consequences of ssing with us!"
Luo Chao knew this was the effect of telepathy, so he quickly used his ssenger bag as a shield on his stomach. In the next instant, the stuttering thug's knife pierced halfway through Luo Chao's bag.
In that instant, Luo Chao also opened the last buckle of his bag, silently chanting in his heart, "Rise! Stab for !"
Three fountain pens flew out from the briefcase with a whooshing sound. The three black shadows shot toward the stuttering thug with a speed untraceable by the naked eye, hitting him right in the throat.
The stuttering thug felt the pain and imdiately crouched on the ground, only able to make guttural "gu... gu..." sounds, now truly mute.
It's important to know that the subcutaneous part of the human throat is the thyrohyoid muscle and sternohyoid muscle. The deeper parts are the trachea and esophagus, lined with the vagus nerve and swallowing nerve. If injured, it can cause loss of voice, fainting, and an inability to eat.
So, the stuttering thug was temporarily unable to speak and had lost the ability to resist.
Fortunately, Luo Chao showed rcy; he didn't remove the pen caps and didn't use his full strength, so the stuttering thug only suffered a painful blow without any bloodshed.
Otherwise, at best, if the thyroid cartilage were fractured, he'd be permanently mute. At worst, it would pierce through organs, resulting in death.
anwhile, the tall and skinny thug also lunged at Luo Chao, but without the stuttering thug's coordination, he was no match for Luo Chao alone. With a few swift moves, Luo Chao slamd him to the ground, unable to get up for a while.
At this mont, the fat thug had just gotten up. Seeing that both of his companions had lost their combat ability, he no longer had any thought of fighting back, just staring dumbfounded at Luo Chao.
Luo Chao felt a bit amused and then decided to scare him as a joke.
He walked towards the fat thug, pretending to hit him. The fat thug, seeing this, scread, "Oh shit!" and quickly ran away, leaving his companions behind.
Luo Chao greatly despised this fat man.
Then, Luo Chao squatted down and said to the two on the ground, "Don't let see you again, or I'll beat you every ti I see you!"
"Okay... okay... from now on I'll stop... stop... robbing. It's for scum and thugs..." the stuttering thug said tremblingly.
After confiscating his switchblade, Luo Chao turned and left.
After buying a late-night snack, Luo Chao brought a portion to Lin Yun before returning to his room.
Thinking of the fat thug who ran away, Luo Chao couldn't help but reflect, "These thugs always talk about brotherhood, but when facing real danger, their selfish nature shows!"
...
After a few more days of exploration, Luo Chao beca increasingly adept at mastering his telekinesis.
Moreover, he noticed a phenonon: whenever he frequently or intensely used telekinesis to control objects, he would feel dizzy, followed by a strong sense of sleepiness.
"It seems that telekinesis isn't completely without cost. Frequent use leaves feeling extrely exhausted and ntally drained," Luo Chao thought, "Could it be like mages in gas, where using skills depletes their mana bar? I might deplete my mana too?"
Mana can be replenished through ditation, which, in simple terms, refers to one's essence, energy, and divine power, or Spiritual Power.
The so-called Spiritual Power is essentially willpower, an invisible force released by the brain tissue of living organisms.
Everyone has Spiritual Power, but it varies in strength.
A well-rested person will have abundant Spiritual Power, feeling energetic in the morning and motivated in all tasks.
On the other hand, soone who just pulled an all-nighter will lack prompt replenishnt of Spiritual Power; even if he doesn't feel sleepy, others can easily tell his poor ntal state from his complexion, response speed when answering questions, and fluency in speech.
"Therefore, the sufficiency of Spiritual Power directly determines the duration of my telekinetic abilities. In other words, if I can increase my maximum Spiritual Power, I can effectively increase my Spiritual Power reserve, allowing to prolong my telekinesis usage significantly," Luo Chao pondered.
Hence, Luo Chao decided to start by training his Spiritual Power.
For the ti being, the strength of Luo Chao's moves was enough to deal with ordinary people. The combination of telekinesis, paired with sharp blades or objects, along with the kinetic energy from speed, can almost imdiately render an enemy incapacitated.
"I just need to enhance my Spiritual Power to unleash more techniques so that when facing more enemies, I won't pass out due to Spiritual Power depletion."
"I wonder if there's a good thod for training Spiritual Power," Luo Chao thought.
"Spiritual Power Enlightennt?" Luo Chao searched for "Spiritual Power books" on a shopping website and saw an option pop up.
"Author Uri Geller, total sales: one, price: 188 yuan. Isn't Uri Geller that Israeli who claims to have telekinetic powers? Could he be a fraud?" Luo Chao mused.
Considering his own experiences, Luo Chao suddenly felt that he might not be the only one in the world capable of telekinesis!
"Never mind, it's better than nothing, might as well buy it and see," he thought.
He clicked to purchase, only for a window to pop up: "We're sorry, the item you've purchased is no longer available! Please contact the seller."
"Huh? It's been taken off the shelves already? No wonder, it only sold one copy in such a long ti, maybe the seller bought it themselves," Luo Chao speculated.
He clicked the seller's profile to contact them.
"Hello? I want to buy a copy of 'Spiritual Power Enlightennt.' Do you have any in stock?" Luo Chao typed.
Thirty minutes later.
"You want it? I don't even believe in this book myself; I couldn't even give it away," the seller replied.
The seller's ID was amusingly nad "My Heart Flies."
Luo Chao: "I'm just curious. Do you have a copy? Let buy one to take a look."
My Heart Flies: "Yes, yes, I actually only have one copy, and it's still not sold."
Luo Chao felt a bit exasperated, realizing the displayed sales number was indeed inflated by the seller!
