A moment later, Su Shu stretched out his hand, and a blue light emerged, materializing a spoon-shaped tool in mid-air.
"This is..." Mr. He and Mrs. He were exceptionally surprised; it was their first time witnessing a live Psychic, and Su Shu's action could be considered miraculous to ordinary people.
"It's a type of Superpower Tool, He Xiaomai, right? Next, hold this spoon in your hand, focus your attention on it, and just carefully imagine its shape," Su Shu said with a gentle smile.
This Superpower Spoon was a medium and a top-grade tool collected by the Tianxing Style, capable of momentarily drawing out the potential of a Psychic.
"A spoon from the Hudi Clan?" Fang Yuan rubbed his chin, suddenly recalling a legend.
According to legend, the Pokemon Machamp was the result of a Human spontaneously mutating, specifically a Psychic boy unable to control the Mental Power within his body, transforming into a Machamp, and then breeding the line of Casey... Furthermore, with this kind of Pokemon belonging to the humanoid egg group, Fang Yuan found the thought extremely alarming.
"Okay." At this moment, He Xiaomai had returned to the appearance Fang Yuan had first encountered—a bright, confident, and strong girl. She obediently took the Superpower Spoon and began to meditate, as Su Shu had instructed.
A moment later.
The Superpower Spoon glowed with a blue light.
Although just a girl who had never undergone Superpower training, she now seemed to suddenly transform into a Psychic.
Seeing the change in the spoon, He Xiangdong and his wife showed nervous expressions.
"She indeed possesses Superpower Talent, and the talent is very good," Su Shu began, slightly surprised by the changes reflected in the spoon. "As for the talent bias, it should be similar to yours, leaning towards the Mind Induction side. Such a Superpower is very conducive to forming bonds with Pokemon."
"Is that so." Fang Yuan also revealed a smile, content that he had not misjudged. With this confirmation, He Xiaomai fit the Heart Source Style criteria even more.
The reaction of the spoon became more intense, and the light became more vibrant. Su Shu nodded seriously, continuing his careful observation. He was secretly astonished; although He Xiaomai was blind, her Superpower Talent was strong. Such talent could definitely rank in the top 10 in Hua Nation's Superpower field. Fang Yuan really had great luck to have taken in such a gifted student.
After his initial surprise, Su Shu gradually calmed down. Fortunately, the talent wasn't too exaggerated; otherwise, he would have been extremely envious.
"Can you feel the power inside your body?"
"Should it be... light blue dots?" Su Shu asked.
"Yes." He Xiaomai's expression of calmness turned to delight because for the first time, she saw a different color. Amidst the darkness of her vision appeared blue dots of Mental Power, distinct from the blackness. While she could only see them and not control them, for He Xiaomai, this was already an immense change.
However, what He Xiaomai cared about more was the feeling of another force stirring within her heart.
As the Mental Power became more active, a power from within her heart gradually awakened.
"I see light blue dots now, but I feel like... there's another force inside me," He Xiaomai said, somewhat bewildered.
Faced with this situation, she had no experience to draw from.
After He Xiaomai spoke, Su Shu was momentarily dumbfounded; indeed, he was inexperienced as well.
However, neither Fang Yuan nor Eevee showed any sign of surprise.
"As I thought, a Twin Born Martial Spirit... ah no, wrong, Twin Born Talent, possessing both Superpower Talent and Wave-guiding Power Talent. After all, Wave Motion and Superpowers are almost identical in nature, but Wave Motion leans more towards the Power of the Heart," Fang Yuan murmured to himself.
The next second, as He Xiaomai felt another form of Mental Power, the spoon she was holding underwent a transformation. The blue Wave Motion enveloping it seemed to change its nature, morphing into a ripple-like pattern that spread outwards, as the blue waves were blown away like a gust of air.
Continuous ripples emanated from the spoon. Su Shu's expression became blank for a moment—what was this situation?
Fang Yuan's gaze remained fixed on the spoon, and true to his expectations, the manifestation of the Wave-guiding power was quite similar to his Power of the Heart.
"May I ask..." He Xiangdong, observing the changes in the spoon, grew more anxious, fearing something unexpected might happen.
Unable to provide an answer because he was also unsure of what was happening, it was Fang Yuan who spoke up, "Don't worry, it's just a special Superpower, there are only benefits and no drawbacks. Mr. He, Lady Tang, you should keep the changes in Xiao Mai to yourselves; please don't disclose them to others."
"We understand." Even though they didn't know the specifics of what occurred, Mr. and Mrs. He took Fang Yuan's words to heart, and as He Xiaomai's parents, even if he hadn't reminded them, they wouldn't have openly broadcast her special abilities.
Special Superpower?
Su Shu was still in a very bewildered state.
He had never heard of this before.
At this moment, Fang Yuan had already stopped He Xiaomai and taken the Superpower Spoon from her.
"Let me borrow this," Fang Yuan said to Su Shu.
"Go ahead," Su Shu replied, pondering.
Moments later, holding the Superpower Spoon, Fang Yuan invoked the Power of the Heart, and indeed, the spoon showed the same reaction as when He Xiaomai held it.
And it was even more intense.
The blue stream blowing out from the spoon could now be felt for its coolness.
The Power of the Heart... was a type of Wave-guiding power.
"Here," Fang Yuan said after a brief experiment, handing the spoon back to an even more baffled Su Shu.
Su Shu was now completely at a loss. Fang Yuan's superpower was something he had introduced, so why, after such a short period, could he no longer understand it?
Seeing Su Shu fall silent all of a sudden, Fang Yuan understood. It seemed that even top superpower users did not understand Wave-guiding, nor the application of Mental Power.
In that case, only he could guide He Xiaomai in developing this power, and there should be no misleading of the young.
............
After a conversation, Fang Yuan informed Mr. and Mrs. He of his plan to take He Xiaomai away for a while the next day, and gave them half a day to prepare.
Fang Yuan and Su Shu then left the He residence.
All the way, Su Shu was deep in thought, pondering what the special power that Fang Yuan and He Xiaomai possessed could be.
Finally, Su Shu couldn't help but ask.
"The power of Wave-guiding," Fang Yuan provided a term that the other could more easily understand.
"Wave-guiding?"
"You can consider it a combined ability of mental power and mental power of the heart, a type of superpower. Aside from applications of mental power, only by mastering the application of mental power of the heart can one skillfully use Wave-guiding."
"Mental power of the heart?" Su Shu fell silent at once. How could such a thing be possible?
He understood the concept of mental power of the heart, but that understanding was limited to knowing that such a concept existed. Even his teacher, Kong Hai, hadn't heard of anyone possessing this skill.
"Perhaps some talent is needed?" Fang Yuan was not very clear himself; he simply could sense mental power of the heart because he had developed the superpower bestowed by Emuritto.
"Ever since the first encounter with He Xiaomai, I could feel that she had a similar talent, and now it seems I was right. Thanks to you this time, Senior Su Shu."
"By the way, Senior Su Shu, is that spoon one of those superpower tools you can find on the market?"
"I…"
"No, that's a special tool from the Tianxing Style. The ones on the market are useless."
An exasperated answer and the realization that he couldn't grasp the Wave-guiding power Fang Yuan spoke of made Su Shu smile wryly. What kind of person was this?
He Xiaomai's talent was much better than Su Shu had imagined. The mysterious Wave-guiding power even made him forget the fact that He Xiaomai was blind. Why couldn't such an exceptionally talented disciple come his way?
"Wait a minute!!" Su Shu suddenly remembered something very important. If He Xiaomai was taken by Fang Yuan to meet the Prince of the Sea and got recognized, wouldn't that mean Fang Yuan, once again, naturally formed a closer bond with the Prince of the Sea, on top of already being kin?
