20 A Mentalist Girl (2/2)
But if it is a 'Kaleidoscope Mentalist' 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 become one.
In the entire World there are only 7 known Exalted Mentalist and they are also in seclusion to discover more about this realm.
...
Going back to the Mentalist Girl and Shin. Shin is frowning his brows because of the girl mental 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 mere mental suppression is not effective to Shin, she start taking her battle stance for her to attack with other means.
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 Mental Energy force towards Shin.
*Swoosh*
The Mental 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 Mental Energy exploded on Shin left side. Then Shin is about to open his mouth to say something but the girl ignore his actions and continue to attack by throwing a consecutive Mental 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 means she is a 'Psychic Mentalist'. If I manage to get near her then I can suppress her since 'Psychic Mentalist' are weak in melee 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 Mental Energy and throw a powerful palm strike towards his chest.
Shin is gotten off guard because of the sudden development. 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 Mentalist'? 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 something that anyone in 'Qi Refinement 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 somewhere or is she suffering a Princess Syndrome?”
When the girl see that Shin didn't reply, she asked once again. ”Are you deaf? I am asking you, what is your name?”
'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 some kind of bumpkin that came 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 name?”
'This girl really like to ask questions. Don't tell me 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 name.”
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 Mental Energy and enfold it to herself, then she sprints towards Shin while throwing some Mental Energy attacks.
This time Shin didn't turn his head, he just tilt his head sideways or step on his left or right to dodge the Mental Energy attacks without looking.
When the girl get near on Shin's back she send a powerful palm strike and use a Mentalist Melee Skill.
'Formless Lotus Arts: Flying Feather'
Before the girl's palm strike manage to reach Shin, he use a movement skill. The soles of his feet glow with silver light and dodge the attack by changing his direction quickly.
'Flowing Water Arts: Shifting Movement'
Shin suddenly disappeared on girl's view resulting for her to hit nothing but thin air. The girl immediately turn around and look at Shin that is now behind her.
”Aren't you underestimating me too much? Showing off your skill without looking at your opponent? Looks like you are confident on yourself.” said the girl while rotating the Mental 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 some lesson.”
Then suddenly the girl's pupils turned rhombus while the aura that she is releasing become fierce. And as if the Mental 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 become 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 Meditation.
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 formed 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 same age as me.”
