Chapter 391: Chapter 390: The Ability that the Sect Hierarch Lacks
After asking the leader of the review committee to leave, the Director-General stood up to pay his respects to Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu.
“The Leader of the Special Ability Sect is highly ambitious. He not only wants to become a ruler, but he also wants to create a world.”
“The Super Power User Management Bureau has multiple times mobilized several fifth-order super power users to assassinate him, but he is extremely powerful, possessing several different abilities, each of a fifth-order. Not only did we fail to assassinate him, he even turned the tables on us.”
“We sent spies to join the Special Ability Sect and, after several years undercover, we finally learned about his general plan.”
“He believes that by melding all super powers together, he can obtain a genesis-like strength, and his personal super power is the ability to absorb other’s super powers.”
“For this reason, he is terrifyingly powerful, and we are no match for him.”
“As we know, he lacks only a few rare super powers and then he will have amassed all super powers, allowing him to carry out his plan of genesis.”
Bai Hongtu curiously asked, “Which super powers does he still lack?”
“Immunity to Heat and Cold, Restored Light, Invisibility, and Banishment to Another Space.”
“These four super powers seldom appear. A single occurrence may not even happen in centuries. While this is due to incomplete historical records, it still shows their rarity. During the 180 years since the establishment of the Super Power User Management Bureau, we have never heard of anyone awakening these four kinds of super powers.”
“… Although I really want to question the Restored Light superpower, what I’m more curious about is what Banishment to Another Space is, and how is it different from the general space superpower?”
Jiang Li knew that many people in this world have space super powers, and can manipulate space on a small scale, which is a superficial grasp of the Tao of Space.
A fifth-order space super power is considered of average or slightly below average level in the Buddhist circles well-versed with the Tao of Space.
Considered an average level in the Buddhist circles is the creation of a Storage Ring.
Yet in the Wei Gu world, super power users are not able to create Storage Rings.
“Of this, we don’t know much either. We only know that 1,700 years ago, someone had awakened the Banishment to Another Space super power, and could make people and objects disappear out of thin air. Even after ten or twenty years, when the people and objects reappear, they are just as they were originally.”
“A seventy-year-old man who was banished to another space returned ten years later by that super power user, only to find he was still seventy, exactly the same as he was before he disappeared. It was as if time had stopped for him.”
“When those who had been banished were asked what they saw after they disappeared, those people seemed to have lost all memory and had no knowledge of what had happened after they disappeared.”
“Even the super power users themselves didn’t know where the people they banished went.”
Logically, time should flow in any space. For example, within a Storage Ring, time does not stand still. The purpose of the Storage Ring is to place objects, not to preserve them for a long time.
In the Nine Provinces world, when cultivators study spells, they first learn from textbooks such as “Complete Guide to Spells”, “Spell Analysis”, and “Understanding the Tao of Magic”, and have old cultivators explain over and over until they understand the principle of spells and can cast spells.
Knowing the what is precondition upon understanding the why.
But in the Wei Gu world, super power users often don’t even know when they awakened their super power or what the awakened power is. They only realize one day that they seem to have a special ability and understand that they have become super power users.
As for how to use the super power, it requires slow exploration.
They only know how to use the super power, but not the principle of the super power.
Jiang Li said: “Before you’ve learned to walk, you’ve learned to run. This is currently a defect of your world.”
The Director-General, helpless, said, “We also know that this is not conducive to discovering super powers, but we really don’t know the principles of super powers.”
“This is not hard. The essence of super power lies in the application of the Five Elements Spiritual Root. As for what the Five Elements Spiritual Root is, you’ll figure it out when you want me to teach you the way of cultivation.”
The Director-General was overjoyed. As expected, these two were top figures from another world. The problem that had plagued the Wei Gu world for six thousand years was so simple in their eyes.
He decided that when he sent off these two gentlemen, he must stay up all night, researching while requesting multi-party advice, so as to determine who should be taught the way of cultivation.
Shao Junyi and Peng Lianghai followed Director Shao to the headquarters to report. After the report, Director Shao lingered at headquarters to strengthen relations with the high-level officials there. Shao Junyi and Peng Lianghai temporarily had nothing to do.
“I remember you said that you wanted to go to Capital University. Since we’re here in the capital city, why not go and have a look at Capital University?” Shao Junyi suggested.
“Coincidentally, I graduated from Capital University, so I’m quite familiar with it. I can be your tour guide.”
“But didn’t you say your academic performances were mediocre?” Peng Lianghai was puzzled. Capital University was one of the top five universities, and although Peng Lianghai was confident in his academic abilities, he wasn’t confident about getting in.
On the way to the capital city, the two chatted about their academic performances in passing, with Shao Junyi commenting that she was always in the middle of her class, far inferior to Peng Lianghai’s academic performance.
“My father donated a teaching building to Capital University.”
“I see.”
Mid-June, the weather was scorching hot. The two, wearing short sleeves and eating popsicles, were touring Capital University.
Shao Junyi was serving her duty as a university student and a tour guide, explaining the charm of Capital University to Peng Lianghai with enthusiasm.
“This is the library of Capital University, which holds the third highest number of books in the country.”
“Which two are ranked higher?”
“The second is the National Library, and the first is the internal library of the Super Power User Management Bureau.”
“The headquarters has more books than the National Library?” Peng Lianghai was surprised.
“The National Library is open to the public, anyone can read there, but there are some books naturally wouldn’t be convenient to be placed there, such as works studying super powers and real historical records involving super power users, and so on.”
“Speaking of which, do you have a major you are interested in?”
Peng Lianghai was troubled: “I haven’t thought about it.”
“Are you interested in arts or sciences?”
“Sciences.”
Shao Junyi was browsing the university forum and cheerfully said, “It is just in time that Professor Luo is lecturing on Basic Physics today. Should we go to listen?”
“Does Professor Luo lecture well?”
“He lectures really well. Whenever I had insomnia, I would fall asleep as soon as I listened to his class.”
“Is Basic Physics hard to learn?”
“It’s really easy to learn. You understand it as soon as you listen.”
Shao Junyi dragged Peng Lianghai to Professor Luo’s lecture, not because she liked listening to Professor Luo’s lectures, but because she missed her school days.
Before they stepped into the classroom, they could hear the resounding voice of Professor Luo.
They walked into the classroom tippy-toed and discreetly sat down in the last row.
“… A system of identically constituted particles, when particles ‘1’ and ‘2’ are swapped, we can prove, are either symmetric or antisymmetric. Particles in symmetric states are known as bosons; those in antisymmetric states are known as fermions…”
“… One of the consequences of the antisymmetry of fermions is the Pauli exclusion principle, that is, two fermions cannot occupy the same state…”
