There is a saying in the Federation: difficulties are often greater than one imagines. Ye Yu thought he was already unfortunate for being stood up, so he expected that practicing martial arts would go a bit smoother. However, at this moment, he was clearly facing the same failures as before.
The Mountain and River Secret draws from various schools of thought and is inherently difficult to master. Moreover, Ye Yu's current physique cannot accommodate the energy brought by martial arts. Previously, he attempted to split his Psychic Power into two streams, forcing the energy required for martial arts practice to remain within him. However, his once well-controlled Mental Power quickly dissipated.
With no other options, Ye Yu continued to use his Mental Power in conjunction with the Mountain and River Secret to practice martial arts. Although the effects were not immediately apparent, it was better than making no progress at all. Nevertheless, Ye Yu did gain some insights; he realized that his Mental Power could be considered at the beginner level of stellar rank, and the stronger and purer his Psychic Power was, the better his chances of successfully mastering the Mountain and River Secret.
The founder of the Mountain and River Secret introduced a method for refining Mental Power in the first chapter of this technique. According to this founder's teachings, after refinement, Psychic Power of the same level could achieve an attack power capable of challenging higher ranks. Of course, this method of practice is exceedingly tedious and complicated. Ye Yu's primary issue remained with martial arts practice; even if he wasn't facing a challenge at his peak, he still needed to resolve the problem of being unable to store energy within his body.
Originally, Ye Yu had planned to learn how to control multiple streams of Mental Power to assist in practicing martial arts. However, it now seemed necessary to follow the method described in the Mountain and River Secret—using Mental Power to refine the cells within his body. This approach would not only enhance the purity of his Mental Power but also lay a solid foundation for practicing the Mountain and River Secret.
Controlling Mental Power to refine his physical body required extremely precise manipulation, just like when Ye Yu previously tried to forcefully store energy within himself using Mental Power. One misstep could lead to severe self-harm; after all, Mental Power can injure others and inevitably harm oneself as well. Furthermore, even with excellent control, this refining method would place a significant burden on his body.
"Success or death!" Ye Yu exhaled deeply and gradually calmed down. The turbulence in his mind caused by the earlier collapse of his Mental Power had now settled.
In the next moment, Ye Yu focused intently, entering a meditative state. As soon as he closed his eyes, an invisible energy began to circulate around him.
Following the instructions recorded in the Mountain and River Secret, Ye Yu prioritized using his Mental Power to refine his limbs, starting with his right hand.
At that moment, the Mental Power that had been swirling around him seemed to receive some kind of command and surged toward the tip of Ye Yu's right finger. Gradually, a fierce energy began to coalesce at his fingertip; what was once formless energy became densely concentrated and faintly took on a semblance of a Virtual Image.
Ye Yu's long and thick eyebrows raised slightly, and even his eyelids trembled slightly. Clearly, he was enduring a sharp pain within his body—a sensation akin to countless needles piercing simultaneously.
However, following the guidance of the technique, Ye Yu directed his Mental Power to begin refining the cells within him, causing much of that sharp pain to dissipate. At this moment in Ye Yu's mind, it seemed as though he could see countless densely packed blood-red dots pulsating like hearts within his consciousness.
Ye Yu, feeling nervous, instinctively held his breath. At this moment, if the pain did not penetrate into the cells, it would be an even more unbearable agony. Fortunately, Ye Yu had already cultivated his Mental Power to a stellar level, giving him considerable control. The invisible energy that seemed intangible to others appeared as countless silver-white threads in Ye Yu's mind.
At this moment, these threads gradually condensed into a membrane under Ye Yu's control, and these nearly transparent membranes quickly enveloped the cellular particles. This extremely delicate operation was exhausting; even though Ye Yu was merely controlling the Mental Power to cover the tips of his fingers, he was drenched in sweat.
Ye Yu was also a person of strong will. Although this situation was uncomfortable, it remained within his limits. His lips gradually turned pale, and his right hand, wrapped in Mental Power, trembled slightly. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the trembling started from the fingertips and slowly moved upward. Clearly, Ye Yu was controlling his Mental Power to slowly temper the palm of his right hand.
As dawn broke in the east, Ye Yu's entire demeanor had become much more haggard, as if he had just endured a fierce battle. Nevertheless, a faint smile appeared on his face. During the past half hour, through continuous tempering of his cells, he miraculously discovered that there was a trace of energy stored at the tips of his fingers. For Ye Yu, who had lost his powers for nearly half a year, this initial success was undoubtedly a great joy.
Even though the amount of energy that could be stored at his fingertips was minimal, it at least indicated that according to the cultivation method from Mountain and River Secret, there was hope for restoring his strength and even advancing further. Although Ye Yu's Mental Power was nearly depleted at this moment, he knew that once he recovered, the purity of his Mental Power would also improve compared to before.
At this point, class time was approaching. Ye Yu moved his stiff body and took a moment to meditate and recover some Mental Power. After all, he still had to attend class later; if his Mental Power ran out completely, he would have no choice but to rest.
Suddenly, at that moment, an invisible force enveloped the spot where Ye Yu stood. The suddenness of this power made his hair stand on end.
"You are indeed here!" Just as Ye Yu prepared to summon what little energy he had left to counterattack, a familiar cold voice echoed in his mind—it was the same person with whom he had exchanged Psychic Power twice before.
"This location is quite good for me to practice my Mental Power and absorb natural energy," Ye Yu replied candidly without hiding anything. He was somewhat surprised that the other party had reached out to him. Although he had never seen this person and their voice felt ethereal due to their Mental Power communication—making it impossible to determine their gender—he remembered them as being cold.
"Oh? You are cultivating both physical techniques and Mental Power?" The other party suddenly seemed interested and continued to inquire.
"Yes... I am cultivating both," Ye Yu replied wearily; he sounded somewhat drained in response.
"Then you are learning physical techniques and Mental Power at Silver Dragon Guard?" The other party seemed oblivious to Ye Yu's current reluctance to continue the conversation and shifted the topic directly.
"It's not... a family heirloom." Ye Yu thought of the source of his martial arts and Psychic Power, and his mind involuntarily drifted to his parents and that old man who had lost his legs.
"Oh, it's time for class. Let's talk next time."
The other person seemed to finally sense Ye Yu's indifference and took the initiative to end the conversation. Ye Yu felt the other person's Psychic Power fade away and couldn't help but smile wryly. Then, he straightened his back and walked down the mountain, facing the rising sun.
