Channeling could be either difficult or easy. Channeling ordinary people and channeling mediums were actually two completely different methods of operation.
The consciousness of ordinary people was like radioactive material hidden in a safe, which would always leak out inadvertently. The thoughts that were not important to them, such as their troubles at work, the sweetness of love, and their good or bad feelings towards a certain person would always radiate out without their control and could be easily read by mediums. However, what they regarded as major secrets, such as their deepest hatred, heaviest pain, unbearable past, or their bloodiest wounds, were firmly locked up by them, and they added layers of protection.
It was easy for mediums to read the lives of ordinary people, but to uncover their secrets they must open their inner safes and reveal their most valuable things. Some mediums would try to find the key or password to the safe, while others would use violent means to smash the safe and rob the person like a robber.
Opening locks and smashing safes, literally speaking, was enough to understand the difficulty of these two methods.
But when they met the same kind, the same goal required completely different means. This was no longer a matter of opening locks and smashing boxes, but a duel between two souls. If you want to snatch my treasure chest, you must fight with me. This kind of battle was silent and invisible, but it was more brutal than a fight with real swords and guns, with fists hitting flesh and blood splattering for three feet.
One could recover from physical injuries sooner or later, but injuries to the soul might affect their lives. Psychics with advanced skills could find ways to repair their souls, but most psychics could only watch their souls dissipate day by day. This process was far more terrifying than death. Ordinary people could only imagine what it meant for their souls to dissipate.
Therefore, the “battle of psychics” proposed by Zhang Yang was translated as—kill each other!
This was a very ridiculous and extremely cruel request, but with the temptation of 10 million in cash, this request had an unparalleled allure. One of the psychics soon became excited, and glanced at the bundles of banknotes with greedy eyes, and then at the faces of all the others.
Fan Jialuo stood leisurely, his eyes slightly lowered, not looking at anyone, and naturally, he would not look at the money. He did not express his position, and Yuan Zhongzhou and others also did not express their opinions.
There was an awkward silence.
He Jinglian’s head moved, wanting to look at Teacher Fan, but she quickly gave up the idea. She couldn’t let anyone notice the current Teacher Fan, because she can feel that Teacher Fan was very weak now. If everyone accepted the challenge, he, who was originally the strongest, might become everyone’s joint target. She didn’t dare to consider the result! This was simply taking advantage of the situation! So despicable!
Although Ah Huo didn’t have as strong a sense as He Jinglian, he could still smell the strong smell of blood emanating from Fan Jialuo’s body, so he also knew that this man was seriously injured and extremely weak.
How could Yuan Zhongzhou and Zhu Xiya be unaware of something that the two younger participants could detect. So they all understood that once they agreed to join forces to solve Fan Jialuo, it was unknown who would end up with the ten million. Whether to remain in poverty or become rich overnight seemed to be a mere whim.
This kind of challenge was originally the most beneficial to Ding Puhang. His ability was simply born to find out other people’s secrets. Most people’s safes were open to him, and no matter how many locks they added to their hearts, it would be useless, including even powerful psychics like Yuan Zhongzhou and Zhu Xiya.
But at this moment, he was breaking out in a cold sweat, but he still had to pretend to be calm, because he actually couldn’t pry into the psyches of these four people who appeared inexplicably, and he didn’t know what their true purpose was. Furthermore, his biggest secret was actually his ability. As long as outsiders knew that he could read minds, it was already foreseeable what kind of end he would face.

No one could avoid being afraid, because everyone had hidden secrets.
A person with unique ideas and extraordinary wisdom was far from being called a heretic. A mind reader was a real heretic. Ding Puhang could guarantee that once his ability was known to the outside world, he could face only two endings: one was to be imprisoned and used for the rest of his life, and then killed. The other was to be eradicated immediately and completely destroyed!
He was 100% sure that Fan Jialuo knew his secret! No, he might know everyone’s secrets! As early as the beginning of the recording of the program, he should have seen through all the contestants! He didn’t need to join the chaos at all. At this moment, if he opened his mouth slightly, he could reveal everyone’s secrets!
Was Ding Puhang’s guess correct? Yes, his judgment was very accurate. Fan Jialuo did know the secrets of all the mediums:
Yuan Zhongzhou’s ability was extraordinary hearing. Like a bat, he could capture the information he wanted through various audio wavelengths, including even the screams of other people’s souls. He was already very powerful ordinarily, but when he closed his eyes, he was countless times more powerful than he was now. Wearing a blindfold and breaking away from the shackles of the flesh, he could let his consciousness wander between the Yin and Yang realms, penetrating and crushing anyone’s soul in an instant. He kept this secret to hide his most deadly weapon, but it was just as easy to destroy him, just by breaking his soul bell.
Zhu Xiya was a witch who could cast spells to kill or save people, but she was also a Gu master. She had a Gu King in her body, which could save her from danger if she was seriously injured and on the verge of death. If you dug out this Gu and fed it to someone, and even if that person was terminally ill, they would be cured instantly. She was a walking elixir, and this secret was enough to cost her her life.
Ah Huo came for revenge, and he had already succeeded once. The butcher who once bathed his village in blood was smashed in the head with a punch and burned to ashes. He had violated the law, but he was not afraid. What he really cared about was whether his fellow villagers’ souls in heaven could be comforted, even if he was likely to suffer decades of imprisonment or even the death penalty for it.
He Jinglian’s ability was channeling. When she touched a person or a ghost, all her senses would be synchronized with the other person’s, and then she would know the most painful thing or the most embarrassing secret they had ever experienced. She could accept anyone’s thoughts and feelings without distinction. If she was well trained and exerts her complete strength, she could also synchronize or even assimilate these people’s thoughts and feelings as her own.
Right now she was just a poor person who was always affected by other people’s emotions, but if she learned to reverse the manipulation, she would become an omnipotent medium, capable of easily dominating anyone’s thoughts and souls and replacing them. Her abilities were very similar to the three forbidden arts in ancient times, namely the Body Seizing Technique, the Puppet Technique, and the Soul Capturing Technique! If she was guided and allowed to grow enough, she could easily make anyone into her own puppet. She was a walking weapon in the world!
Ding Puhang’s ability could be summed up in just two words—mind reading, but it was also the one least tolerated by the world.
Fan Jialuo knew all these secrets, but this was not the result of his active sensing, but rather the fact that these people released their own consciousness and spiritual thoughts when sensing others, and he captured them. But he wouldn’t resort to speaking, and at this moment, he closed his eyelids and remained silent.
He didn’t speak, and Yuan Zhongzhou and others didn’t speak either. The remaining medium spoke eagerly, “I’ll challenge it first! I can sense their secrets!” He jumped out as he spoke and kept swaying, spinning, and sensing in front of the six people.
However, Fan Jialu only needed to gather up his magnetic field to wrap himself tightly, and this person will not be able to sense anything. His spiritual thoughts and magnetic field were not strong enough to collide with Fan Jialuo, even if he was already weakened.
The medium had been sensing in front of Fan Jialuo for a long time, and when he was about to make up some nonsense, Zhang Yang reminded him with a smile, “When you give us an answer later, we will make you wear a lie detector. If you tell even half a lie, you won’t get a share of the money. Either tell the truth or don’t, but those who tell lies will get nothing.”
The medium could only shut up angrily and walk towards Yuan Zhongzhou.
As soon as Yuan Zhongzhou closed his eyes, his soul was instantly hidden, as if leaving only an empty shell. The man felt for a long time, but found nothing except a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He walked towards Zhu Xiya, but the Gu King in Zhu Xiya’s body was already letting out an inaudible piercing cry.
“Ah! It hurts!” The medium held his head and squatted down, taking several deep breaths before he recovered. He immediately fled from Zhu Xiya and ran towards Ah Huo and He Jinglian. Ah Huo glared at him fiercely and locked the door of his heart with strong willpower, and like before, the man still didn’t feel anything. He Jinglian was very scared and anxious, but because of this anxiety, her thoughts turned into a mess, tangled and twisted, making it impossible to grasp any meaningful point.
The medium stared at her for a long time. Her consciousness and spiritual thoughts ran wildly outside her body, as if she was thinking a lot, but in fact she was thinking nothing. The man’s head, which was already in severe pain, was dizzy from her thoughts, and he had to give up this soft persimmon that looked easy to pinch.
He finally walked up to Ding Puhang. Ding Puhang put his hands in his pockets and smiled relaxedly, but in fact, his back was dripping with cold sweat. He knew his own background. Apart from reading minds, he was no different from ordinary people, and he didn’t know how to control magnetic fields to protect himself. If this person used violence to break open the door to his heart, he would have no room to resist.
This time I’ve really failed! Ding Puhang thought to himself with regret.
The medium suddenly shouted urgently, “I seem to have sensed it! What is his secret? What is it? Come on, come on, I’m almost touching it!”
Ding Puhang’s soul was struggling and screaming, but on the surface he was still smiling calmly, as if he scorned this man’s words. He didn’t know what the motivation that kept him from falling was. Maybe it wasn’t motivation at all, but the overwhelming fear that made his body spontaneously enter a state of stagnation. This was the most primitive means of human self-protection.
Many thoughts ran through his mind, and each thought was soaked in one word—despair!
However, at this moment, a gentle magnetic field quietly spread over and enveloped Ding Puhang, who seemed powerful but was actually fragile and helpless. The soothing breath seeped into his pores, allowing his body that was almost trembling to recover quickly and return to calm. The silence and serenity carried by this magnetic field was so familiar that Ding Puhang subconsciously moved his head to want to look at Fan Jialuo, but he quickly restrained himself.
At the same time, the medium’s sensing was also interrupted, his face turned pale, and he shouted, “How is it possible? Why did your soul suddenly disappear! Impossible! What did you do?” He lowered his hands, his gaze and lips trembling. It was as if he had encountered a formidable enemy. He thought that Ding Puhang’s strength had exceeded the limit of his spiritual power, and he was deliberately teasing him just now. If Ding Puhang took this opportunity to fight back, his soul would definitely have been severely damaged. How could he not be afraid?
The medium finally realized that he was playing with fire. What else would happen besides burning himself to death? He was so frightened by his own imagination that his legs weakened, and he immediately fell to the ground.
At the same time, Ding Puhang’s knees almost weakened and collapsed. He had always known that he was a heretic, a rat in the gutter, a parasite that burrowed into other people’s corrupt hearts to feed on pus and blood! Once his secret was exposed to the light of day, his end would be very tragic! He never expected that Fan Jialuo would save him. When he was wrapped in the other person’s warm breath, he almost cried!
No wonder Ah Huo and He Jinglian liked to be with him so much. No wonder Yuan Zhongzhou and Zhu Xiya ignored everyone and only treated him with great respect and admiration. Because he was worthy, he had really achieved a certain level in life!
Ding Puhang was moved to tears in his heart, but his smile grew more and more graceful. With Teacher Fan as his backing, he would naturally not show any cowardice.
The medium who was tempted by the money didn’t sense anything, and almost lost his mind. At this moment, he was paralyzed on the ground and pulling his hair in pain, but his eyes lingered on those hundred-dollar bills with extreme greed.
Zhang Yang was very disgusted with his behavior, and it showed on his face. Seeing that no one else was moving, he knocked on the table and said, “Why aren’t you responding? Do you think the money is too little? It doesn’t matter, I’ll give you a little more stimulation!” He clapped his hands, and a group of security guards brought ten more boxes, doubling the chips in an instant.
Normally, Ding Puhang would have been tempted, but now, he felt that Zhang Yang was a bit ridiculous. Money might be able to buy anyone, but it could never buy Teacher Fan. If he really loved money, what could he not have based on his ability? It was precisely because he knew this that he could stand here with such peace of mind now. It felt really good to have someone trustworthy!
As expected, Fan Jialuo was unmoved and didn’t even raise his eyebrows. Yuan Zhongzhou and Zhu Xiya chanted sutras with their eyes closed, equally unmoved. He Jinglian and Ah Huo blinked at the banknotes with bright eyes, but there was only amazement in their gazes, expressing “Wow, this is the first time I have seen so much money,” but not the slightest bit of greed.
Zhang Yang, who was smiling wantonly and evilly, saw that these people still didn’t react, and the complacent and victorious look on his face finally cracked. He gritted his teeth and shouted, “Give me more, more!”
Thirty more boxes were brought in, and bundles of banknotes were taken out and stacked one by one to form a bright red wall. The unique fragrance of money spread in the recording room. The bright red color dazzled everyone’s eyes, and the wall made of 50 million yuan made for a spectacular scene with great visual impact!
Even Song Wennuan, who was born into a wealthy family, couldn’t help but feel her heart tremble, let alone others. This was 50 million in cash! Just say a few words and you can take away 50 million. Who wouldn’t want it? When the staff thought that the bargaining chips were enough and these mediums would definitely start a chaotic battle, Fan Jialuo raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Yang and said lightly, “I refuse.”
“Teacher Fan, you are sure to win! Please think about it again!” Song Wennuan was even more anxious than the person involved, and she unconsciously spoke out what was in her heart.
But Fan Jialuo just waved his hand and expressed his choice in a particularly peaceful manner. Secrets that might endanger the lives of kind people and should not be revealed would forever remain secrets to him.
“Sure, it’s okay if you don’t participate, but what about you guys? People who don’t participate can also be your targets. There are five of you and one of him. Isn’t it easy to win?” Zhang Yang began to fan the flames and sow discord. He was excited to watch these people killing each other, and especially wanted to see the scene of Fan Jialuo surrounded, cornered, and forced into a desperate situation. This was much more interesting than doing it himself!
However, Yuan Zhongzhou raised his eyelids and said, “I also refuse.”
“I refuse,” Zhu Xiya sneered.
“We won’t participate either!” Ah Huo and He Jinglian said in unison.
Ding Puhang shook his head and sneered, “I also refuse. Not to mention 50 million, even if you gave me 500 million, I won’t do such a thing. What a bullshit challenge, you are treating us as monkeys!” After this incident, his outlook on life and his values had undergone tremendous changes, and he suddenly felt that these bright red banknotes did not seem so important anymore.
However, Zhang Yang opened his mouth and smiled evilly. “I regret to inform you that rejection is not allowed. From today on, I am the chief director of this program.”
then…. bye program? I mean… all things considered…. not a great loss.
Thank you for the chapter!!!💕💮
