Chapter 939: Chapter 873: In the Name of Spiritual Energy
Veronica’s words left Valerian and Zhuang Chi completely bewildered.
A muscular giant guiding Roger in meditation through dreams?
The two rubbed their eyes, but saw nothing; Roger’s window was empty, with the drawn curtains blocking out the sunlight.
But knowing Veronica as they did, they were certain she was not the type to joke around.
Her long-term elite education had deeply influenced her character, molding her every action to fit the perfect standards of "the good child next door." When Zhuang Chi observed Veronica’s eyes more closely, she was captivated by the dazzling brilliance within them, a glow not from any artificial eye but seeming to peer through deep blue pupils into the vast cosmos itself.
It was as if she were suddenly placed in some foreign space.
"That’s not any natural energy!"
After a brief moment of stupor, Veronica understood it all.
She witnessed the entire process of the muscular giant transitioning from the dream world to reality, and as the figure emerged beside Roger, he too opened his eyes.
"He has awakened his Psychic Abilities, becoming a Standin messenger!"
Yet another term Zhuang Chi and Valerian had never heard of.
"Standin messenger?"
"It’s another form of awakening Psychic Abilities. It’s said to originate from a place called Egypt in the Pre-war World. When some individuals’ spiritual power becomes potent enough, it takes human form and can even affect the real world. I never imagined that Roger would be one of them; it’s extremely rare!"
"Is Roger... of Egyptian descent?"
Valerian pondered thoughtfully, considering that it might indeed be possible.
The Third War had altered the entire world’s structure, and nearly a century had passed since then. Especially in a border city like The Seventeenth Region, which had once experienced a gold rush, most likely the majority of its residents were unaware of their ancestral bloodlines.
Like her, for instance; in the Pre-war World, her people were also called a warrior nation.
"No, it’s not important whether Roger is Egyptian or not. What’s important is where did you hear about Standin messengers?"
"The new foundation set up by Hog Foster. After the turmoil in The First Region ended, the Foster Family donated a huge sum of money to search for the whereabouts of Standin messengers around the world... It’s normal that you don’t know."
The Review Meeting virtually blocked all news related to the High-level Parliament, intending to bury the upheaval that nearly destroyed The First Region.
She had also learned of this from her parents, as the Counter-Intelligence Department had, after all, entirely survived that catastrophe.
But more importantly, Veronica found that she too seemed to have undergone a change.
For some reason, her eyes could perceive the presence of spiritual power. She saw Roger’s dreams and the human figure condensed from his spiritual power.
Does this also mean...
She has become a Psychic as well?
Her abilities appear to be interference-type Psychic, related to dreams.
But this was simply too incredible, to the point that Veronica herself didn’t dare believe it at first.
In her childhood, her parents had sent her to the Psychic research institute several times, and even allowed the institute to perform some mild stimulative experiments on her, all of which invariably ended in failure.
Now the United Government’s most authoritative Psychic research institute deemed her to lack the talent to become a Psychic, and the only path laid before her was cyberization. Veronica had long since given up hope and never imagined that she would awaken her Psychic Abilities in such a casual way in this unfamiliar city.
Amidst the joy, confusion also filled her heart.
As the child of senior Counter-Intelligence officials, she was accustomed to looking at the world through logical scrutiny. Every cause had its underlying logic connected to a result, and her parents always told her that understanding the principles behind things would enable her to forever hold the key to victory in her hands.
Yet Psychic Abilities... seemed to defy all logic.
Roger’s meditation, and everything she had witnessed in this room, felt more like an extraordinary encounter, something that would only happen to characters in movies and TV shows.
"Just like this."
Roger, having finished his meditation, clasped his fists and assumed the standard boxing defensive stance. As he changed his movements, the figure beside him maintained the same pose, "I felt especially smooth in today’s meditation, the Natural Energy greatly amplified. Why is that?"
After muttering to himself, a confident smile appeared on his face, "I’m in excellent form today; I feel that even Vadim would not be a match for me."
"Keep dreaming!"
Valerian returned to their usual interactions, walking up to Roger and slapping him on the shoulder with great familiarity, "Don’t forget you still have a boxing record of 0 wins and 2 losses, yet to secure a victory."
"That’s different."
"What’s different about it?"
"Those were matches—friendship first, competition second. It was enough just to get on the ring and experience the excitement. But now, it’s about the responsibility to a companion."
Roger’s gaze was firm as he lifted his right fist, feeling the flow of Natural Energy surging through his body, "Before I take down Vadim, I must not fall!"
"Alright, alright, keep that up and you’ll become the protagonist of a movie."

Meanwhile, Lu Xiang’s research also yielded results.
