"This is impossible! How could you have two types of abilities?" Ye Yu felt the overwhelming pressure enveloping him, beads of sweat pouring down his face. The flames were drawing closer, and the chairs around him had already begun to catch fire.
"Hahaha, of course it's not me! You just saved my wife, and in return, she naturally wants to keep you here!" The Obese Man laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke, his body shaking with mirth.
"You really think highly of me, sending three Ability Users to deal with me!" Ye Yu's mind raced. He never expected that what he thought would be a simple break would turn into such a situation.
His first thought was that Peak was taking the opportunity to retaliate. However, he later learned that the old man from the Gao Family was preparing to run for office again, so he wouldn't let his family members stir up trouble. But in the Federation Homeworld, if he had offended someone, who besides Peak could it be?
Sweat streamed down Ye Yu's face, quickly evaporating in the heat. As the sweat dried up, his entire body began to sting painfully.
"When we strike, we aim to hit. Your strength data shows you're skilled in Mental Power attacks, so we prepared for you right from the start! As for your physical combat ability, I must say, it's quite lacking!" At this moment, a ring of steam rose around the Obese Man; clearly, he was also struggling against the scorching flames.
"Are you assassins?" Ye Yu gritted his teeth. He had just tried to turn his body but found that the pressure was too strong for him to break free.
"Assassins? Not quite. We are a group of idealists, and you stand in the way of our ideals! You caused our plans to fail; do you want to die?" The Obese Man looked at Ye Yu, who was gradually being engulfed by flames, a victorious smile creeping onto his lips.
"How is that possible!"
Ye Yu nearly screamed in disbelief. He still couldn't understand where he had offended them. After all, this was Home Planet, one of the most important areas of Home Planet; they shouldn't be assassins. Such people could never safely enter the core area of the Federation.
"Die!" The Obese Man seemed to have lost interest in explaining things to Ye Yu. As soon as he finished speaking, countless burning clothes wrapped in his water-based ability lunged toward Ye Yu. Strangely enough, despite water and fire being incompatible elements, those burning clothes did not extinguish. This indicated that their control over water elements was exceptionally skilled, allowing them to manipulate conflicting flames.
"This is Federation Homeworld! Even if you're powerful, you won't escape when the police arrive!" More than two minutes had passed since the fire started; according to Ye Yu's estimation, the fire department should have been alerted by now. Although they weren't Warhead team members, if they discovered three Ability Users were involved here, they would certainly investigate further.
"I apologize in advance, but you're going to die. The fire department has already been called, but they will encounter various obstacles... At this rate, it will take at least ten minutes for them to arrive, and by then, you might already be reduced to ashes," the Obese Man said with a look of regret as he glanced at Ye Yu.
At that moment, Ye Yu's communicator vibrated rapidly. Without even looking, he knew it was Long Ling'er. Naturally, it was abnormal that he had suddenly turned off the Quantum Communicator and hadn’t responded for several minutes. However, Ye Yu couldn’t open the communicator now, and even if he could, he didn’t want to see Long Ling'er worrying about him.
"Open it!" Ye Yu could no longer endure the scorching flames. He disregarded the consumption of his Mental Power and unleashed all his Psychic Power in an instant, pushing back the encroaching fire. Even so, the oxygen in the room was dwindling, and the temperature was rising. Each breath Ye Yu took required immense effort, and the air around him was filled with a searing heat.
"Let’s see how long you can hold out!" The Obese Man felt a twinge of unease but knew that Mental Power had its limits. No matter how hard Ye Yu tried, he would eventually be unable to withstand the relentless flames. Moreover, with the oxygen growing thinner in the room, even if he didn’t burn to death, he would suffocate.
At that moment, Ye Yu felt as if his entire body was about to explode. The omnipresent heat from the flames and the scalding air he inhaled, combined with the constant drain on his Mental Power, were overwhelming him.
His eyes had turned crimson, resembling those of a feral beast. The skin exposed to the air was also a deep red. Blood coursed through his veins as if trying to burst forth from his body. Even more unbearable was the pressure in his head; as he recklessly released his Psychic Power, it felt like a storm raging within his mind. With each depletion of Psychic Power came a sharp pain that pierced deep into Ye Yu's consciousness like countless needles.
"Ah—" Ye Yu suddenly let out a long howl, his voice filled with anguish or perhaps defiance. Ultimately, it was all futile; he could only scream.
The howl, infused with myriad emotions, seemed to have some effect; the flames appeared to diminish slightly. However, Ye Yu knew that even if they did lessen, he wouldn’t survive much longer.
The oxygen was scarce now; every breath required all his strength. Although the flames were held back by Ye Yu's Mental Power, the scorching air remained unbearable. He needed oxygen, yet inhaling it felt like swallowing boiling water.
"Open up! Open up!"
At that moment, Ye Yu finally remembered something. As a Martial Arts Practitioner facing perilous circumstances, why not take a desperate gamble?
With that thought in mind, Ye Yu began to circulate his Psychic Power according to his training method. Almost instantly, invisible energy surged against the barriers deep within his mind.
At this moment, Ye Yu held his breath, fully immersing himself in the practice of Psychic Power.
"Crack—"
A familiar sound echoed in Ye Yu's ears, reminiscent of the moment when dinosaurs hatched millions of years ago. It was also akin to the alert tone emitted by the Exploration Radar when a new planet was discovered over the past few millennia. Ye Yu understood that he had broken through; after days of accumulation, he had finally achieved a breakthrough at the brink of life and death.
The Obese Man seemed to sense something amiss, but it was merely a feeling. When his gaze met Ye Yu's starry eyes, his entire consciousness plunged into chaos.
