Chapter 255: Someone Who’s Been Through It
Ji You had just asked this question when Lu Zhen was momentarily stunned, then he suddenly laughed and said, "Young student, your question is somewhat unexpected."
Ji You, slightly embarrassed, said, "Captain Lu, is my question... inconvenient to answer?"
If it concerned a secret, she wouldn’t have pursued the matter further.
Lu Zhen shook his head and said in a gentle tone, "That’s not it... It’s just, I didn’t expect your observation to be so sharp. People who haven’t trained in spiritual power rarely know that the Spiritual World can be temporarily closed."
Ji You widened her eyes: "Captain Lu, is the state where people cannot detect spiritual power really a closure? I asked because I couldn’t find an adjective for it."
Lu Zhen smiled and explained, "To describe this state, words like closure, blockade, or shielding are all applicable and correct." He paused slightly and looked at Ji You with a gentle and friendly face: "Also—you can call me Senior Lu Zhen. I graduated from the Lanyue Star Military Academy Combat Department in the same class as Captain Yang Bin."
Ji You gasped, then quickly corrected herself: "So you’re Senior Lu Zhen! The school has indeed produced many talents! In the future, I want to be as excellent as you all!"
After hearing this, Lu Zhen encouraged her: "Keep it up!"
Now that it was her school senior, Ji You felt much closer to him and immediately asked further, "Senior Lu Zhen, about the temporary shielding of the Spiritual World you mentioned earlier—how exactly is it done?"
The reason Ji You had this doubt was that in her usual interactions with students, whether it was those with a Spiritual Level of S like Shen Changqing and Yue Qiyuan, or those with levels B like Xuzhou and Yue Qiguang, or level A like Zhang Ye, as long as Ji You came close to about 1 meter from them (and sometimes it didn’t even need to be 1 meter, just within 3 to 5 meters), she could feel their spiritual power threshold actively fluctuating. Those with level S had higher activity levels, while level A and B were less active...
But with individuals like Teacher Mu Jianling, Principal Hong, Dr. Luo... no matter how close Ji You got, she could not sense any activity in their spiritual power and didn’t even feel that their spiritual power was very strong when interacting with those teachers. However, as soon as they used their spiritual power, just the sheer pressure of it was enough to make the students tremble in fear...
Before, Ji You didn’t know the reason behind these two different statuses, but when she had a comparison contest with Senior Yang Bin, she specifically observed his spiritual power activity and realized she couldn’t sense it at all, as if a barrier had separated them...
