”Mind Possession,” Han Xiao said with a low voice.
A tint of surprise flashed through Feidin's eyes as he heard this. He did not expect Han Xiao to know the truth.
”I didn't expect you to realize.” Then it occurred to Feidin—it turned out that Han Xiao had suddenly attacked him because he had discovered Chen Xing's secret.
As he understood why Han Xiao attacked him, he became skeptical. Why did this mercenary called Black Star help him? Mercenaries were not ones who would kindly help others without asking for anything in return—he definitely had a motive.
”So, it's Mind Possession…” The youngest Volga understood and immediately started explaining it to the others. He was a Psychic, too, so he knew what Mind Possession was.
Just like how a Pugilist trained their body, a Psychic trained their mind and soul. The strong ones could detach their soul and consciousness from their body and possess the mind of another, giving them a second life.
Usually, they would only use this spell when their body was heavily damaged and they had no choice, as the detaching process would cause irrecoverable damage to their soul. Furthermore, the success rate was only 0.3%, and failure would cause their soul to shatter, killing them on the spot.
Most people were not willing to abandon their original body and change into someone else's body unless they were left with no choice. Chen Xing was a perfect example for this. She was a woman, so why would she ever want to change her body into a man? They did not even have mutual hardware!
It was impossible for Psychics to possess someone whose mind was stronger than their own. As soon as a Psychic successfully possesses someone's mind, they would gain control of that body, and the original owner's body would be trapped in a cell. The original owner could feel what the body was feeling but would not be able to control the body, like a spectator.
Chen Xing was heavily injured, and her mind was very weak, so she had to rest. Hence, Feidin took over his body, and Chen Xing became a spectator.
Han Xiao had attacked because he wanted to meet Feidin, and injuring Chen Xing's mind was the most direct method to do that. It just so happened that he had Hila's Character Summon Card, which could attack one's mind, so there was no need to beat Feidin's body up to the brink of death… although his injury was still not light.
The youngest Volga briefly explained the principle of Mind Possession, and the others finally understood what it was.
No wonder Chen Xing was so feminine—it turns out she was a woman from the start.
”When did you get possessed?” Herlous said curiously.
”You mean, when was the last time I controlled this body?” Feidin shrugged. ”4 years, 9 months, 14 days, 8 hours, and 23 minutes, oh, now it's 24 minutes.”
”About five years ago…” Sylvia had woken up. She had heard their conversation and was puzzled. ”Isn't that when Chen Xing made his debut?”
”Yes… my home is in a remote Star System in the Shattered Star Ring. I didn't like the completely modified main planet, so I migrated to a remote half-colonized planet. That planet is a gathering ground for the poor, also an abandoned planet in the others' eyes. However, I felt that place was more full of life than the city surrounded by iron and steel. I lived in the wild, making a living through farming land and hunting. Everything was peaceful. One day, a spaceship fell onto the land of my house, and inside was a heavily injured, unconscious woman. She was Chen Xing. I saved her and treated her wounds, but her injuries were too heavy. Before she died, she took away my body and continued living with it, then she became a celebrity. That's the gist of what happened.”
Feidin spoke very calmly as if he did not have much hatred or anger on how his body had been taken away. He had long adapted throughout the five years, so there was no more resent and anger like when it first happened.
Han Xiao nodded. Despite the fact that Chen Xing had been crushed by him without being able to fight back, it was because her power had been heavily damaged when she extracted her soul from her body. Her strength had once been extremely close to Grade A. Because she changed a body, she became tremendously weaker and almost dropped to Grade C. That was why she was collecting things like these statues—it was to recover her powers.
Chen Xing was not a main character, but Feidin was!
Furthermore, his luck was stronger than Herlous, who was just a local main character. His Luck Glow was high-class!
Having someone so strong staying in one's mind was a standard main character storyline. However, for others, it was an old man, whereas for Feidin, it was a young woman.
If not for Chen Xing, Feidin would never have maximized his potential with his old man personality and would have been an ordinary person forever. Although Chen Xing took away his body, she also brought him on an unknown path. If that did not happen, Chen Xing would never have discovered how much potential he had. Furthermore, he would only face this difficult situation temporarily. Although Han Xiao did not know the exact time, he knew that Feidin would become stronger than Chen Xing in the future and retake his body.
