Esper X Family – Chapter 266 – The Five Form Skills of S-rank Espers
“Everyone shouldn’t think that improving physical fitness becomes completely useless after reaching S-rank.
The foundation built in youth will yield significant returns after reaching S-rank.
This is related to the ’Form Skills’ that can only be mastered by S-rank Espers.
In any case, all S-rank Espers advocate for early physical training.
Everyone shouldn’t overlook this point.”
Yu Yayin’s serious voice reached everyone’s ears.
Ye Yao fell into contemplation.
Form Skills?
Could it be the “Celestial Form” and “Selfless Form” that Lou Wei used?
What Yu Yayin mentioned should be the “Selfless Form”, which can convert other attributes into mental power.
During the offline PK with Lou Wei, she had suffered a significant setback from this move.
Its activation time was extremely fast, truly integrating offense and defense.
Its only drawback was its upper limit.
Lou Wei said that this skill is common to all S-rank Espers.
Who would’ve thought that it was indeed the case?
Not every S-rank Esper can use that godlike “Celestial Form”, right?
Are they all as terrifying as the “Purple-skinned People 1 Not purple guy from FNAF, and not Thanos either. Apparently it’s a meme about the 2024 Olympics, where the US team’s faces turned purple after swimming. Chinese netizens accused them of doping, while the explanation is that it’s a normal discoloration from a lack of oxygen. As for the truth, nobody knows. “?
A figure of a certain uncle surfaced in Ye Yao’s mind.
Lou Wei was one thing.
What if the strongest in history could also activate Celestial Form?
Would she really be able to defeat him?
Ye Yao unconsciously swallowed.
At this moment, a student raised their hand to ask.
“Teacher, what are Form Skills?”
Ye Yao cast a grateful glance.
She wanted to ask the same question!
Yu Yayin’s gaze swept over Ye Yao.
Unexpectedly, she looked rather serious.
Rеаԁ οո КаtReaԁіոgСafе
She had thought that she would be slacking off instead.
It seems that she is very interested in this question.
It wouldn’t hurt to talk about it a bit.
“Form Skills are related to the domain of S-rank Espers.
This is too far off for you, and understanding it too early is not a good thing.
However, I can mention a little.
Form Skills are common techniques for S-rank Espers. After reaching S-rank, they can be learned through official channels.
As I just mentioned, the payoff of strong physical fitness at S-rank is the ‘Selfless Form’ among the five Form Skills.
Its effect is to concentrate all of the Esper’s other attributes into mental power.
Once an Esper reaches S-rank, it becomes very difficult for them to enhance their mental power.
Each enhancement is a breakthrough of the self.
The ‘Selfless Form’ is a very cost-effective technique for enhancing mental power.”
“Ah?”
Ye Yao was dumbfounded.
What did you just say?
There are actually three more moves besides “Celestial Form” and “Selfless Form”?
Are you kidding me!?
So it means that Lou Wei actually has three hidden moves!
If he activated all of them, what will he turn into?
Ye Yao broke into a cold sweat.
Her initial thought was to defeat Lou Wei at his peak in a fair and square manner.
Ye Yao would naturally not bring her family down unfairly.
Only by winning a one-on-one can she reign supreme like lightning.
To this end, she was prepared to treat defeating the peak Lou Wei as her ultimate goal.
For instance, facing Lou Wei who activated “Celestial Form” and “Selfless Form” beforehand.
Ye Yao was prepared to give him that activation time.
She wanted to crush Lou Wei at his full power.
Like giving a chicken pot three turns to activate 2 “Chicken pot” is a Slay the Spire reference. Long story short, The Defect is called 鸡煲jibao because it’s a homonym for 机宝jibao (machine + treasure), so it’s a term of endearment. Another reason is because the character needs time to “cook”, hence the mention of three turns. .
Or letting Jamie drink four drinks under the guidance of old Zang 3 Jamie and Zangief from Street Fighter. Jamie is a character based on the Drunken Fist technique, and he has a unique drinking mechanic where he unlocks unique moves the more he drinks, with up to 4 levels. .
Rеαⅾ οn ΚαtRеadiոgCαfe
It all came down to healthy martial ethics.
But what does it mean that the Dayun Truck might have three more Form Skills he had yet to use?
If he activated everything, wouldn’t that transform him into a true galactic battleship?
When would she be able to beat her stern father fairly?
Ye Yao felt a rush of heat to her face.
The enthusiasm of the other students was also stirred up.
“Teacher, can you tell us about the other Form Skills?”
Yu Yayin shook her head.
“No, it’s still too early for you. Let’s stop it here. You’ll naturally know when you reach that realm.”
She had only revealed so much for Ye Yao’s sake.
Saying too much wouldn’t be good, as it would lead these newcomers to aspire too high.
Yu Yayin looked towards Ye Yao’s position.
Huh?
She’s actually daydreaming.
But being distracted is fine.
Yu Yayin was very tolerant of this.
She needed to seize her future fiercely!
Even if Ye Yao fooled around, it didn’t matter!
“Ahem~”
Yu Yayin cleared her throat.
“Let’s move on to the next topic, concerning the application of mental power for new Espers…”
Ye Yao snapped back to attention and continued to listen to the class.
The five Form Skills were still very fascinating.
Ye Yao realized that she had only peered at the tip of the S-rank iceberg.
She could only use the advanced mental power application techniques.
She hadn’t touched the so-called universal Form Skills at all.
Although she could rely solely on numerical superiority to crush her opponents, it wouldn’t necessarily be the case if the opponent were Lou Wei.
From Yu Yayin’s explanation, it seemed that it involved systematic learning.
Rеаⅾ oո ΚаtRеαⅾіոɡСαfе
Learning through official channels indicated that this information was unavailable through civilian channels.
Without seniors guiding her, would the comprehension be extremely difficult?
Ye Yao quickly thought of the newly promoted S-rank, Old Gu.
Even though he was at S-rank, he was still outdated.
Because normal S-rank Espers would have several Form Skills at least.
Yet, Old Gu had only reached the S-rank standard for mental power.
In quality, it probably falls far short of the S-rank Espers from the Countermeasures Bureau.
Having less powerful abilities wasn’t a problem.
But Form Skills could make up for the lack of mechanism!
How could Ye Yao bear to let her family become outdated?
She didn’t know whether the Countermeasures Bureau would be willing to impart such seemingly high-level knowledge.
A cooperative relationship…
They should be on the same side, right?
Ye Yao was multitasking.
She was contemplating the possibility of helping Old Mu and Old Gu keep up with the new meta.
At the same time, she listened attentively in class.
To others, she appeared as a good student with a single-minded pursuit of progress.
The Ye Yao Circle was becoming increasingly distressed.
The headquarters had never lacked opportunities for strengthening.
Even if all classes were watered down for Ye Yao.
As long as she maintained her fighting spirit, she could always find a way to grow stronger.
The only way out was to make her fall into decadence.
As time passed, the class ended.
There would be another lesson later.
It was currently break time.
Ye Yao still hadn’t turned on her phone.
The network interference team observing through the surveillance nearly fainted from anxiety.
Rеαⅾ oո ΚatRеаԁіոɡСαfе
Little ancestor, there’s no need to take it so seriously.
Break time should be used for slacking off.
Just take out your phone and scroll through something, anything!
What’s with that expression that looks like you’re reviewing the class content?
Ye Yao remained unaware that certain people were confused by her.
She was still contemplating whether she could find a way to let Sequence Zero’s oldies break free from the ranks of outdated beings without losing face.
Should she ask in her Ye Tong persona?
What a joke.
She would rather hiss at them!
How could she lower herself to request such a thing?
She would just have to see if she could say a word about it later.
If not, she would hiss, hiss heavily!
Everyone must bear the pressure!
“Mmm…”
At that moment, a voice that sounded like it had just woken from sleep came from behind Ye Yao.
“… Is class over?”
Ye Yao couldn’t help but turn her head to look.
This slacker loli finally woke up.
Upon closer inspection, it seemed that there was drool at the corner of her mouth.
For a girl, that was somewhat astonishing.
Could she also be a divine being like Fang Tang?
Is this really someone sent by the Countermeasures Bureau?
Ye Yao began to doubt her own judgement.
Author Note
Whoa! The temperature dropped so fast! It was almost 20 degrees 4 68°F yesterday, but when I woke up today it was only 5 degrees 5 41°F . I’m back in bed again!
