Chapter 74: Three Confused People

 

"But your room was ruined by me." Yu Jin Li flustered as he looked at the debris on the ground and the strange beast with a worried face.

 

"It's okay, it will be clean up later.  Can you tell me how you triggered the energy card? What is ‘divine sense’?” Jiang Mo Sheng asked after calming down Yu Jin Li.

 

For Jiang Mo Sheng, the words ‘divine sense’ is an unfamiliar term, but with everything that has happened with Yu Jin Li so far, nothing surprises him anymore. After all, he has learned such a miraculous cultivation technique. What else could be more surprising?

 

Yu Jin Li's emotions gradually calmed down, and then he told Jiang Mo Sheng about how to use his divine sense.

 

Most cultivators have divine sense, but each individuals’ divine sense varies in strengths and weaknesses.

 

Although Yu Jin Li now occupied someone else's body, his soul is still his own, and his divine sense was still there. Moreover, although his cultivation base is gone, the divine sense that he had trained for so long did not disappear, but is still at the same level as in his previous life.

 

Hence, although Yu Jin Li’s current cultivation base is not as high as Jiang Mo Sheng, his divine sense is actually much stronger than him. When Jiang Mo Sheng heard that he himself also possesses divine sense, his whole person was stunned.

 

He also has divine sense? Then can he also trigger the energy card the same way as Little Chestnut? Does that mean that he can use energy cards even if his power core has not been completely repaired?

 

If this is true, then this news is very shocking.

 

Jiang Mo Sheng had originally thought that even if he recovers to good health, he would just be an ordinary person. He didn't expect that one day he would still be able to use energy cards like an ability user. Then would he be able to fight side by side with his comrades as before?

 

"Then how can I use my divine sense?" Jiang Mo Sheng asked excitedly.

 

Yu Jin Li patiently guided Jiang Mo Sheng to understand his own divine sense. Although Jiang Mo Sheng’s current cultivation base is not high and his divine sense is not very strong, when he activated it, he actually ‘sees’ through the walls of the room, and even ‘saw’ everything in the entire Jiang mansion.

 

Seeing a panoramic view of the mansion, the always calmed and collected Jiang Mo Sheng was shocked.

 

So, this is ‘divine sense’.

 

Divine sense is actually more powerful and useful than he had ever thought. Little Chestnut’s cultivation methods is really so incredible, almost causing Jiang Mo Sheng's entire cognition to be overturned.

 

"Have you learned it?" Yu Jin Li asked.

 

"Well, let me try." Jiang Mo Sheng couldn't wait and took out another D-level energy card, and carefully probed his divine sense into it. The next moment, another huge spirit beast also appeared in the room, taking up what little space was left.

 

With the appearance of the two spiritual beasts, Jiang Mo Sheng's entire room was completely destroyed. Since the room was too small, cracks started appearing on the walls, and a huge cracking sound was heard downstairs.

 

Qiao Mu Lan was reading a book, when she heard several loud cracking sounds from the second floor, especially from the back of the house which sounded like the building was tearing apart.

 

Shocked, she immediately put down the book in her hand and rushed up the stairs in steps of two and three. When she reached the second floor, she saw web-like cracks on the wall of her son's bedroom.

 

"Little Chestnut, Ah Sheng, what are you two doing in there?" Qiao Mu Lan knocked on the door and shouted. She then tries to open the door, but found that the door seemed to be blocked from the inside, and couldn't be open, so she became even more anxious.

 

"Mom is here. She’s right outside." Yu Jin Li pulled Jiang Mo Sheng's clothes. He could "see" Qiao Mu Lan anxiously knocking on the door outside, but when he looks back at the two huge spirit beasts in front of him, he felt very sad.

 

"It's okay..." Jiang Mo Sheng comforted Yu Jin Li, and was just about to respond to Qiao Mu Lan when he heard a loud "bang", and saw that the bedroom door had officially give up on life.

 

Yu Jin Li: "..."

 

Jiang Mo Sheng: "..."

 

The two spirit beasts who didn't understand anything: "..."

 

Qiao Mu Lan who had just broke in: "..."

 

Three people and two beasts looked at each other, all showing the same expression.

 

"This is...what's going on here?" Qiao Mu Lan looked at the huge spirit beasts that appeared in the room, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

 

As an ability user, she naturally knows what these two spirit beasts are, but the key thing was why did they suddenly appeared in her son's room.

 

Is it because someone wants to assassinate her son? Qiao Mu Lan immediately and instinctively raise her guard, and quickly moved to the front of Jiang Mo Sheng and Yu Jin Li, trying to guard them behind her.

 

She watches the two spirit beasts in front, and was ready to fight anytime. As long as the two spirit beasts make any moves, she will immediately kill them.

 

"Mom, we’re okay." Jiang Mo Sheng didn't know how things had developed to this situation, but he was still very excited.

 

After all, he had thought that since his power core would take a long time to repair, it would mean a long time before he can use energy cards again. Unexpectedly, he is able to use it now. Even if only low-level energy cards can be used at present, it is much better than not being able to use any at all.

 

Jiang Mo Sheng immediately recall the two spirit beasts, and then took Qiao Mu Lan and Yu Jin Li, who was still in a sluggish state, to the study room next-door, and prepared to explain to his mother.

 

After learning that both Yu Jin Li and Jiang Mo Sheng could use energy cards to summon spirit beasts, Qiao Mu Lan was first hit by a big surprise, and then didn't know how to react next.

 

She used to be an atheist, but the series of events that happened after Yu Jin Li came to the Jiang's family have all convinced her that gods may really exist in this world. Their Jiang family must certainly been blessed by the gods, otherwise, how could all the dead ends get resolved so smoothly, and are even getting better and better.

 

She had thought that she was about to lose her son, but her son's health suddenly improved.

 

She had thought that her son was about to become an ordinary person, but suddenly discovered that her son could use energy cards.

 

Even the ‘daughter-in-law’ that was thought to be just an ordinary person could also use energy cards.

 

This is simply... it's more exciting than winning the lottery.

 

If it weren't for Qiao Mu Lan's strong psychological endurance, she might have fainted by surprise at this very moment.

 

"So, those two spirit beasts were summoned by the two of you just now?" Qiao Mu Lan confirmed again.

 

"Yeah." Jiang Mo Sheng replied.

 

"That’s great, so great." Qiao Mu Lan was so excited that tears of joy begin filling her eyes, but she stubbornly refuses to let them fall out.

 

Qiao Mu Lan, who has always been strong and who has never shed tears easily, can't help it at this moment.

 

Jiang Mo Sheng knew how much pressure his mother was under during this period. Due to his father's toxin and his own injuries, all the important responsibilities of the Jiang family were placed on his mother's thin shoulders.

 

Jiang Mo Sheng took his mother into his arms and patted his mother’s back silently. His mouth was clumsy, and he didn't say anything. He could only comfort his mother in this way.

 

But even so, Qiao Mu Lan was still very happy.

 

In the evening, Qiao Mu Lan, who was in a good mood, personally cooked a sumptuous evening meal for everyone. Of course, these dishes were all taught by Yu Jin Li.

 

Jiang Zhen Tao hasn't eaten his wife's cooking in a long time, and he was more than happy to eat. At the same time, he realizes that his wife is in a good mood and the smile on his face has never disappeared.

 

"Did something good happened today?" Jiang Zhen Tao asked while eating.

 

"Yes, it's a great thing." Qiao Mu Lan replied with a smile as she gently used a pair of chopsticks to pick up food for all three men.

 

"What's so great?" Jiang Zhen Tao was even more curious now.

 

"I will tell you when you finish eating."

 

After dinner, the family of four gathered in the study.

 

When passing by Jiang Mo Sheng's room, Jiang Zhen Tao couldn't help but raise his brows as he looked at the wall with web-like cracks.

 

Was there a thief in his house? But there is no thief who only destroys other people's walls, right? And his wife is in such a good mood, it can't be because of a thief, right? Jiang Zhen Tao thought about all the different possibilities.

 

"Zhen Tao, I want Little Chestnut to go to First Military Academy." Qiao Mu Lan said directly.

 

Jiang Zhen Tao has no objection to this, "Little Chestnut is still young, just the age for school. This is no problem. I will make arrangements later. What major does Little Chestnut want to study?"

 

"I want to study the card crafting major." Yu Jin Li said with a smile, showing two small dimples on his cheeks, which was very cute.

 

"Major in card crafting?" Jiang Zhen Tao was a little embarrassed when he heard that, after all, this major is not something one can go on a whim.

 

Seeing her husband frowning slightly and looking embarrassed, Qiao Mu Lan immediately said: "This is the ‘great thing’ that I was planning to tell you about. Our Little Chestnut has already awakened mental power, and now he can even summon a D-class beast. His talents and qualifications are very good."

 

Not all people who have awakened mental power can become card craftsman. Only those who can make energy cards can earn the right to be called craftsman. Generally speaking, before going to university and formally study card crafting, people who have awakened mental powers will go through an apprenticeship under an established craftsman. 

 

Although Yu Jin Li's mental power awakened a bit late, but fortunately, his age is just right, similar to the starting point of other apprentice craftsmen, and he won’t be too far behind. Whether he can become a real card craftsman depends on his personal efforts.

 

Of course, the fact that he was able to summon a D-class beast without any formal education indicates that his mental power has high potential, and he will very likely become a card craftsman.

 

"Little Chestnut has awakened his mental power?" Jiang Zhen Tao was a little surprised when he heard this. After all, they all knew that Yu Jin Li did not awaken his mental power at the age of five.

 

A late awakening, as surprising as it may be, may have implications that is even more astonishing. Although it was not the first time a person has awaken mental power late, it is extremely rare. There may not even be one in a million.

 

"It should have suddenly awakened today. At that time, I was introducing Little Chestnut to the school's card crafting major, and I showed him a D-level energy card. As a result, he summoned the spirit beast." Jiang Mo Sheng helped Yu Jin Li explained.

 

He currently does not intend to tell anyone about Yu Jin Li's cultivation method, including his own parents. The less people know, the safer Little Chestnut will be. Therefore, Jiang Mo Sheng will explain Yu Jin Li's use of energy cards on the grounds of sudden mental awakening.

T/N:

For those who are new to the cultivation genre:

In Chinese cultivation novels, 神识 (divine consciousness/sense) is a magical ability that stretches one’s soul/spiritual power to allow the user to have a omniscient, third-person view and total awareness of everything happening around them. For the purpose of the novel, this will be translated as ‘divine sense.’
