Most students at the Federal First Military Academy practice martial arts, and many of them are powerful Ability users. However, even those with great strength need continuous training to become even stronger. Even Ability users must constantly manipulate their Abilities to master the various mutated energies within them.
To the northeast of the First Military Academy stands a building specifically designed for specialized training. Each room in this building serves a different purpose; some are suitable for Martial Arts training, others for training in the five elemental Abilities, and some are meant for Mental Power training.
At this moment, Ye Yu and his group of five are in the comprehensive training room of the specialized training building. This room, over five hundred square meters in size, is constructed entirely from super-strong Alloy, capable of withstanding the full force of an Eighth Level martial artist's attack. Many students who practice martial arts conduct sparring sessions here without worrying about damaging the room.
"Peak actually wants to challenge you?" Xia Chiu frowned after listening to Ye Yu's account and said, "If you win against him, he will definitely be unconvinced. I'm afraid he might take the opportunity to hurt you."
"Hmph, when has the young master of the Gao Family ever suffered such a loss? He probably wants to prove that you're weaker than him!" Nasha, dressed in a form-fitting training outfit that accentuated her curves and exuded a unique feminine charm, remarked. Wang Jiu couldn't help but steal glances at Nasha from time to time, prompting Chen Tang to shake his head and smile wryly.
"The only grandson of Mr. President is naturally used to having things go his way. Even if Ye Yu wins this time, it won't be easy for him in the future."
Chen Tang rested his chin on one hand and continued, "Peak's father is a Martial Arts expert and a general in the army; he's also an emerging talent. In the future, we will all have to serve in the military, and at any moment, we could receive orders sending us to the most dangerous places."
"What's wrong, Old Chen? Are you scared?" Xia Chiu stared wide-eyed at him, puffing out her chest. Her demeanor seemed less like questioning someone and more like playfully teasing.
"I believe in the glory of the Federation." Chen Tang knew that explaining further would yield no results, so he quickly shifted topics and said, "For now, we need to focus on our leader's problem: how can we ensure victory in this battle or at least avoid injury?"
"If I had first-level martial arts strength, I could at least withstand Peak's first attack and then have a chance to counterattack," Ye Yu acknowledged that with his current Third Stage martial arts ability alone, relying solely on his Mental Power was insufficient.
Nasha crossed her arms and pursed her lips. "According to your assessment, Ye Yu, you once had Fourth Stage martial arts strength. It's just that after your injury, you lost all your martial energy and have only managed to cultivate a small amount recently. If we enhance our training further, reaching first-level martial arts shouldn't be too difficult since you already have a foundation!"
As the highest-ranked individual present regarding martial arts expertise, Nasha certainly had the most authority on the matter. She knew that Ye Yu had worked hard to cultivate even a trace of energy that morning. But if they intensified their training, would he not progress even faster?
"Well, that makes sense. When I first started practicing martial arts, it was all about toughening my body and accelerating energy absorption," Ye Yu nodded. He remembered the hardships he endured to master the basics of martial arts. Back then, he constantly engaged in rigorous training, guiding the natural forces into his body according to the principles of martial arts, transforming them into his own strength.
"From now on, I'll train you, aiming for you to reach the first level of martial arts within half a month," Nasha said with a slight raise of her eyebrows, looking at Ye Yu with a teasing smile.
"It's quite tough for Brother Yu to train alone; I want to join too. After all, my water-based ability is still quite weak. Last time I fell into an illusion, I could barely handle using my ability just once," Xia Chiu said, glancing at Ye Yu with a pitiful expression, resembling a begging kitten.
"Since we're a team, let's train together. Even though we're only in our first year, there will be plenty of competitions in the future. Improving our individual strengths can increase our chances of winning," Chen Tang suggested as he surveyed the group.
"Alright, let's create a special training plan together. We'll set goals for each stage and strive to achieve them within the designated time."
As the captain of the team, Ye Yu felt he couldn't refuse when his teammates actively requested special training.
"Um... Brother Tang, I want to ask, besides professional military knowledge, what else are you good at?" Ye Yu hesitated before asking. He firmly believed that personal combat strength was crucial, but Chen Tang currently had no combat capabilities.
"Actually, I had the opportunity to practice martial arts before; it's just that the training centers outside charge too much and most are just for show," Chen Tang recalled something from the past, a hint of bitterness flashing in his eyes. "I’ve researched various martial arts and know that practicing martial arts requires certain innate abilities. I'm aware of my own body; I've focused on theoretical knowledge for years and haven't been physically active. So if I could practice Mental Power, I wonder if you..."
"I also want to practice Mental Power!" Before Ye Yu could respond, Nasha suddenly interjected.
Ye Yu pondered for a moment. The method he learned for cultivating Mental Power was taught by an elder from the empire. Although he wasn't supposed to pass it on to anyone else, he felt conflicted about sharing it with Chen Tang and Nasha. However, he also understood that they were in this together—what affected one would affect all.
"In fact, everyone has Mental Power. There's an old saying in the Blue Seal Empire: 'Hearts resonate with each other.' In a way, it's like two people experiencing a collision of Mental Power and coincidentally doing the same thing. However, this level of Psychic Power is very weak and occurs only by chance.
But through specialized training, we can enhance our Mental Power. How much we can improve depends on individual circumstances. The method I learned for cultivating Psychic Power was passed down by an old gentleman. While I can't share all the details right now, I can teach you both the basics."
Ye Yu could only seek a compromise, after all, the methods for entering Mental Power were quite similar, and other channels could also provide access.
"Well, let's start with the basics. We'll see if the school has any techniques related to Psychic Power," Chen Tang nodded in understanding, then turned to Nasha.
"I have no objections!" Nasha replied decisively. If she were asked to pass on her own martial arts techniques to others, she would find it difficult to accept.
"Great! From now on, we will begin our special training!" After saying this, Ye Yu looked at Nasha and Chen Tang and added, "If you want to practice Mental Power, I can help test your aptitude first!"
"How do we test it?" Nasha and Chen Tang asked in unison.
