I Can Give Talents

Chapter 569: Chapter 569 - Sense Blocker

"What if someone spreads their spiritual sense over a large area and happens to sweep over you while you’re inside the range?" Leyvi asked. "Would that make you uncomfortable too?"

He was genuinely curious.

"Why do you want to know so much?" one of the men standing behind Gwen asked suspiciously.

Before Leyvi could answer, Kajol stepped forward.

"Everyone, they’re my friends. I brought them here specifically to learn more about Spiritual Cultivation. If possible, please satisfy their curiosity."

The Spiritual Cultivators exchanged glances before nodding.

"Since it’s Professor Kajol’s request, we’ll cooperate as much as we can," one of them said respectfully.

Gwen then turned back to Leyvi.

"To answer your question, yes. In fact, it’s much more uncomfortable. Imagine you’re trying to focus on something and suddenly someone keeps brushing against your skin every few seconds. That’s what it feels like to us."

"However, it can’t be helped in public places. There are simply too many cultivators using their spiritual sense. We can’t go around demanding that everyone stop. That’s why most Spiritual Cultivators learn a skill called Sense Blocker. It creates a barrier that isolates us from random spiritual senses," she explained.

Sense Blocker. Leyvi nodded inwardly.

That technique was indeed recorded in the manual he possessed. He simply had not learned it yet. Now he finally understood why it was considered a fundamental skill among Spiritual Cultivators. Since they could detect other people’s spiritual sense, it must feel very uncomfortable when it happened unexpectedly.

Gwen continued.

"But private places like this are different."

She gestured toward the training hall.

"This is a Spiritual Cultivation facility. Everyone here is practicing various mental techniques and abilities. Maintaining Sense Blocker while training is distracting and wastes mental energy."

"If people constantly probe us with their spiritual sense while we’re training, we won’t be able to concentrate properly."

"I understand." Leyvi nodded. "I can’t sense other people’s spiritual sense yet, but I can imagine how uncomfortable it must feel. I apologize for what I did earlier."

Gwen smiled.

"Don’t worry about it. You’re actually pretty nice and understanding compared to many Qi Cultivators in the academy."

"Huh?" Leyvi blinked. "Why do you say that?"

Gwen’s expression immediately soured. "Because most of them don’t care."

She crossed her arms. "We’re part of a special program, which means we didn’t have to take the academy’s entrance examination. Because of that, many students think we’re stupid and don’t belong here."

Her voice became increasingly annoyed. "They also think Spiritual Cultivation is an inferior cultivation system, so they look down on us even more."

Several people behind her nodded in agreement.

"Some of them even intentionally sweep us with their spiritual sense after learning that it bothers us." Gwen clicked her tongue. "Tch, sometimes I really want to break the rules and beat them up."

Leyvi was surprised. "Is that really happening?"

He looked at the other Spiritual Cultivators.

Their expressions immediately gave him the answer. Some looked annoyed. Some looked resigned. Others simply sighed.

"Unfortunately, yes," one of them replied.

Leyvi turned toward Kajol. "Is this normal here, Senior Kajol?"

Kajol rubbed her forehead helplessly.

"Unfortunately, yes. The academy generally doesn’t interfere with minor conflicts between students. Besides, those students are quite clever. They always stay within the rules, so there isn’t much the academy can punish them for."

Her expression became slightly embarrassed. As a professor of the academy, she wasn’t exactly proud of this situation.

Leyvi simply nodded.

He understood. This was not something outsiders could solve. The Spiritual Cultivators would ultimately have to earn enough recognition themselves to change how people viewed them.

"Anyway." Leyvi’s attention returned to the visor. "May I borrow one of those goggles?"

"You want to try it?" Gwen asked.

"I’m curious."

"Sure. I have a spare."

Gwen scanned through her space bag before taking out another visor and handing it to him.

"Thanks." Leyvi put it on.

The moment the visor covered his eyes, his view changed. Many translucent hands of varying sizes floated throughout the training hall. Some were lifting weights. Some were moving training equipment. Others were performing intricate exercises with astonishing precision.

They appeared in different shades and levels of clarity, reflecting the strength and control of their users.

Leyvi immediately recognized them. They were manifestations of Spiritual Touch. For the first time, the normally invisible ability had become visible before his eyes.

Everything else in the room remained unchanged.

"This is nice. Is this device newly invented?" Leyvi asked, still examining the goggles.

"Not really. It already existed when we first started practicing Spiritual Cultivation," Gwen replied.

"Already existed?" Leyvi was surprised.

"It’s not just this goggle. They also created an ocular technique to see spiritual sense," she elaborated. "But that ocular technique is incredibly high-level. I heard it’s not easy to master at all."

Leyvi blinked. A complete device and an ocular technique to see spiritual sense had been ready even before they began developing the cultivation path. It was obvious that countermeasures for Spiritual Cultivation had already been prepared in advance.

"Husband, do you know about Demoness Cocolia?" Caterina suddenly chimed in, linking her arm with his affectionately.

Husband??

The Spiritual Cultivators in the gym were all shocked when they heard her. Their heads kept turning back and forth between Leyvi and Caterina. They could hardly believe that a Soul Formation Realm powerhouse had married a mere Core Formation Realm man.

Who is this guy? they wondered.

At the same time, Ava Clover, who had been training with the equipment elsewhere in the gym, suddenly perked up her ears.

Demoness Cocolia? She recalled that Barbara had once told her the story of that evil woman.

"Who is that?" Leyvi asked, turning to Caterina.

"She used to wreak havoc across the Cloud Continent a long time ago," Caterina explained.

"At that time, I joined the war to fight against her evil group. It has been so long that it took me a while to realize what she practiced back then must have been Spiritual Cultivation. She terrorized the continent with invisible attacks that nobody could see and a terrifying domain that made it extremely difficult for us to approach her. It took unbelievable efforts and heavy sacrifices before the Protectors finally managed to kill her."

Caterina sighed at the end, clearly recalling the many deaths from that dark period.

The Spiritual Cultivators listening nearby were shocked. They had never heard this story before. Doesn’t that mean they also had the chance to grow that strong one day? Who says Spiritual Cultivation is inferior to Qi Cultivation?

The group of Spiritual Cultivators felt their blood boiling with newfound excitement. They suddenly gained much more confidence in their chosen cultivation path.

"I get it now," Leyvi said, connecting the dots. "Is that why they already had the goggle devices and ocular techniques ready before they started exploring Spiritual Cultivation?"

"Most likely," Caterina nodded. "I remember them banning any techniques and methods related to spiritual sense after that incident, fearing another Demoness Cocolia might appear. Since then, they must have been quietly developing countermeasures to Spiritual Cultivation."

What made Spiritual Cultivators so terrifying was the invisible nature of their attacks. Being able to see them made the path much less dangerous.

"I see. Since they’re spreading Spiritual Cultivation now, they must no longer see it as a threat," Leyvi said thoughtfully. "I didn’t expect Spiritual Cultivation to have such a heavy history here."

The group of Spiritual Cultivators also began discussing the story excitedly among themselves.

Then, Leyvi walked over to the side where barbells of various weights were lined up. The heaviest one weighed 500 kilograms. Instead of round metal plates, it had huge square metal plates, probably designed that way to prevent rolling since the weight was so immense it could easily crush someone if it slipped.

Leyvi planned to test his Spiritual Cultivation abilities while wearing the goggles.

First, he spread his spiritual sense in a small radius around him. Through the goggles, everything covered by his spiritual sense became slightly darker, as if a thin, transparent sheet had been laid over it.

After that, Leyvi aimed at the floor and applied spiritual pressure.

Through the goggles, he could see the pressure manifest as a faint, translucent ripple spreading outward from him, like a wave of compressed air pressing down heavily on the ground. The floor beneath him seemed to dim slightly under the force.

At this point, the group of Spiritual Cultivators was already paying close attention to what Leyvi was doing.

"Wait. Isn’t his spiritual pressure a bit too strong for a Qi Cultivator?" one of them muttered.

With the help of the goggle devices, they could clearly see the strength of the pressure he was exerting.

"Right. Don’t tell me he’s one of those Qi Cultivators who also has talent in Spiritual Cultivation. Maybe that’s why he came here to see us," another one said.

They collectively nodded in agreement.

"Haha. I bet there are more like him out there. When Spiritual Cultivation is publicized later, more people will join us."

However, the next moment, all their eyes nearly popped out and their jaws dropped wide open when they saw Leyvi condense and form a huge hand, far bigger and darker than any Spiritual Touch object they had ever created, and then lift the heaviest barbell up and down as if it weighed nothing at all.

Holy shit!

"Prof-Professor Kajol! Who? Who is he??" Gwen asked in an almost screaming tone, her voice full of shock.

The strongest among them could only lift a hundred kilograms after giving their all, but the stranger before them was not only lifting the heaviest one with ease, he was doing it casually, as if it were a light toy.

Who is this monster? Where did he come from? How come they had never heard of this particular Spiritual Cultivator?
