"Sister Nasha, if you keep hitting like that, Brother Yu is going to be beaten to death!" Xia Chiu, who had been practicing water element manipulation nearby, looked over at Ye Yu, who was injured, her face filled with concern. "Why don't you lower your combat level to the first tier and train with Brother Yu?"
Nasha paused for a moment, then turned her gaze toward Ye Yu. Since she was training with him, she naturally wanted to know his thoughts.
"There’s no need to suppress my combat power to the first tier; that won’t work. The greater the danger, the more it can stimulate my potential," Ye Yu said, his breathing steady as he made an attacking gesture. "Just don’t go too hard on me, but make sure I feel the threat!"
Nasha nodded lightly, feeling a newfound respect for Ye Yu. This was a school setting; even under pressure, it shouldn’t be life-threatening. She knew her combat power was at the fourth tier, and even if she controlled it, it could still cause significant damage. Ye Yu's approach seemed reckless at first glance but also demonstrated his courage.
At that moment, Nasha sensed something different about Ye Yu, though she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was.
In the next instant, Ye Yu suddenly moved. Nasha was slightly startled; she could clearly see his movements. However, compared to before, it seemed like he had leveled up.
In just a moment of thought, Ye Yu had closed the distance between them, and she saw his right fist shooting straight toward her.
But when she noticed where Ye Yu's punch was aimed, her face flushed crimson. Her admiration for him dissipated in an instant, replaced by annoyance.
With a swift twist of her slender waist, Nasha evaded Ye Yu's frontal attack with an uncanny speed. In the next moment, her fist shot out like a cannonball towards Ye Yu.
Ye Yu was taken aback; he had just attempted to use Mental Power to control his body’s movements and discovered that with full Mental Power enhancement, he could significantly increase his strength! Although he had tried using Mental Power before, it hadn’t been effective due to insufficient Psychic Power intensity. But now, with his stellar-level Psychic Power strength, he could clearly enhance his speed.
However effective the Psychic Power enhancement was, using this force for the first time left Ye Yu somewhat disoriented. When he saw his fist nearing Nasha's elevated position, he felt a jolt of surprise. But soon after, he sensed Nasha's fury and the power about to explode from her fist.
"Gather!"
Ye Yu knew that his current energy was absolutely no match for Nasha, and that one punch could seriously injure him. In that moment, he concentrated all his Psychic Power into his right fist.
In an instant, just as Ye Yu gathered all his Mental Power into his right fist, Nasha's fist collided with it. A piercing sound erupted in the air, as if the atmosphere had been compressed to its limit before bursting apart.
A tremendous force surged through Ye Yu's arm, and he felt a collision like that of a mountain crashing down on him. At that moment, Ye Yu was filled with dread; such a powerful strike to his body would surely leave him gravely injured, if not dead.
A sharp scraping sound echoed in the spacious training room, reminiscent of a blunt object grinding violently against the floor.
Ye Yu watched in shock as Nasha moved further away from him, his heart sinking as he thought to himself: My life is over!
When the deafening sound finally faded, Ye Yu realized he was still alive. Before his eyes, a glaring black line appeared—marks left by military boots scraping against the ground.
"What... is happening?" Nasha suddenly appeared in front of Ye Yu. He then felt his palm being grasped by a delicate hand. However, before he could sense the warmth from that soft touch, a powerful energy surged into his body.
Although this energy bore no malice, Ye Yu still felt a sharp pain and involuntarily hissed in response.
"You're not recovering energy?" Nasha furrowed her brow, puzzled. "I clearly sensed your power increase significantly when we exchanged punches. How is it gone now?"
"It seems so... At the moment I felt the crisis, I think I did recover some energy," Ye Yu replied, reflecting on Nasha's words and recalling the earlier scene.
Though he had used Mental Power to enhance his body, increasing both his speed and strength slightly, he knew that this added power could never withstand Nasha's full-force attack. He vaguely remembered feeling something new within him just before exchanging punches with Nasha.
Everything had happened too quickly; if Ye Yu hadn’t known for certain that he wasn’t injured, he wouldn’t have been able to recall whether he truly had gained any extra energy at all.
"This kind of instantaneous energy I've never heard of before, it's like a one-time use; once it's consumed, it's gone!" Nasha shook her head, certain that there wasn't such powerful energy within Ye Yu at the moment.
"Well... actually, this can be explained. When a person is faced with life-and-death situations, the potential that their body can unleash is quite terrifying!" Xia Chiu stepped closer to Ye Yu, glanced at him, and then suddenly coughed a few times for reasons unknown.
Nasha, feeling flustered, quickly released Ye Yu's hand, her face turning red. However, she soon shifted the topic, saying, "That's impossible. While potential can indeed unleash great power, to suddenly exhibit combat strength close to fourth-tier martial arts is clearly out of the question! It's like an ordinary person might be able to lift five hundred pounds in an instant, but when a thousand pounds comes crashing down, no matter how much that person taps into their potential, they would only meet a dead end!"
At this moment, Ye Yu was also deep in thought. For more than a month now, he had been practicing the Mountain and River Secret, but no matter how hard he tried, the energy within him continued to dissipate. The emergence of this instantaneous energy might suggest that it wasn't that he couldn't store energy; rather, the energy he had been cultivating was preserved in a way he didn't understand. When he faced a life-threatening crisis, this energy erupted forth but vanished as soon as the danger passed!
"Let's have another battle! I think I might have found a solution!" Ye Yu thought of a possibility and couldn't help but feel excited and eager to try it out.
