The white-haired mentalist smiled as though he could read Ye Chong’s thoughts, and spoke up first, ”Relax, relax, I come in peace. Oh, you should know that mentalists are very sensitive.”

Ye Chong knew this alright. Mentalists were all about mental training. They were more sensitive than the average person. Even combat experts with their strong six senses were no match for the mentalists. Strong mentalists could even do something akin to having premonitions, and even Mu or Shang did not understand the reason behind this.

It was a queer phenomenon, but a true one, and Ye Chong had seen it in action himself. Back when he fought against Feng Su, the woman’s fighting techniques had left a deep impression in him. The truth was, Feng Su was not all that great in combat, but he was the one who was in a tight spot when they fought.

Ye Chong was not afraid of these abstract concepts. He knew more about mentalists than the average person. Nothing in this world is absolute. These skills were only a kind of element, like speed and strength. Mentalists were just people who were particularly skilled in this element.

They stood with 15 meters between them. Ye Chong did not attack immediately, since he was not confident of succeeding. It was obvious that this white-haired man was much more powerful than Mr Yin in the Orbits. That mental restriction on him was also more powerful than Rui Bing’s. Who knew if he had other ways of attacking! WIth 15 meters between them, it would only take him an instant to cover the distance. However, he also knew that while mentalists were physically weaker, their attacks were usually faster than combat experts.

They attack by controlling the mind.

That was a bit iffy. Back on the trash planet, Mu had told Ye Chong about the importance of having spirit when attacking. However, Ye Chong had only really achieved this with his lance techniques, which was also when he achieved Jie. However, even as a Jie expert, he could do little in terms of controlling the mind. On the other hand, Rui Bing as a Jie expert outdid him in this field. She could even perform purely mental attacks.

Of course, Ye Chong had no opinion on that. He was in pursuit of strength. Strength was the result of a combination of factors, and not just some specific ones. Besides, everyone had their own unique ways of combat. Ye Chong, for example, excel in physical strength and speed. The September Lan Family’s muscle control techniques allowed him to perform miraculous feats with his body. Aside from physical strength, speed and mind, there were many other elements at play, such as experience and tactics.

”Who are you?” Ye Chong asked, his plain voice sounding hard and expressionless.

The white-haired mentalist was not offended. He smiled gently and said, ”I am Huang Baiyi, a mentalist.” Huang Baiyi was not exactly handsome, but his demeanor and charisma were flawless. His voice was calm and steady, without any awkwardness. His calm demeanor was entirely opposite of Ye Chong’s calmness; the former was warm, the latter cold.

Ye Chong was doing a lot better now, as he could partially hide his killing intent. This was unlike before, when he was like an unsheathed blade, always so noticeable and not fitting in whenever he went.

”Huang?” Ye Chong’s eyes widened. ”Do you know Huang Jiming?” He was very touchy with the subject of the Three Aristocratic Families. As members of Xi Feng Clan, most women had the surname Feng, while men had the surname Huang. Huang Jiming was one of the elites of Xi Feng Clan. If this white-haired mentalist was from Xi Feng Clan, he must know him.

”Huang Jiming?” Huang Baiyi paused in thought, and shook his head. ”Don’t know him. Who’s he?” His expression was open, nothing suspicious about him at all. More importantly, his pulse did not change.

He was not lying. Ye Chong calmed down. This was the free space zone, and it was very unlikely to meet a member of the Xi Feng Clan.

”Is he your enemy?” Huang Baiyi asked, curious.

”No,” Ye Chong answered crisply.

Huang Baiyi laughed softly and studied Ye Chong with interest. ”My young friend, how old are you?”

”Why should I tell you?” Ye Chong asked bluntly.

Huang Baiyi was surprised, and laughed heartily. ”Okay, okay. How about this? I’ll ask you a question, you’ll ask me a question. Quid pro quo, and you have to answer all questions posed. What do you think?”

Ye Chong thought about it, and nodded. ”Alright.” He too had many questions of his own. Perhaps this man could provide him some answers.

Huang Baiyi smiled and said, ”Alright, hmm, I’ll ask first. Consider that my first question.”

”23,” Ye Chong answered as briefly as possible.
