Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

They're practically just one step away from becoming a couple.

However, because Sonoko also liked her very much, she couldn't bear to hurt Sonoko, which is why she delayed it.

He was unwilling to let go of Sonoko either. Now that he had been given a second chance at life and had found the path to immortality, he did not want to leave any regrets.

It's the rule of this world that powerful men possess more women, so he doesn't think of himself as a womanizer.

If the rules block his path, he will use his sword to carve out his own way!

In an instant, his resolve hardened, his will became as firm as a rock, and he no longer wavered in the slightest.

He's just a guy in armor. Even if he has some mysterious abilities, they're nothing more than some kind of change in human function or a manifestation of some kind of power.

Moreover, if the opponent truly had the ability to kill him, he would never have shown himself just now, but would have launched a sneak attack from the shadows. The reason he intervened to save that spider was to give himself an extra ally, making the battle a two-on-one advantage!

He took a deep breath, and his entire body instantly entered a fighting state.

Since it's unavoidable, let's use our swords to have a thrilling and exhilarating battle!

"It seems you're ready. In that case, let me go first!"

In an instant, the surrounding shadows, as if they were tangible, swept towards Miyazaki Hajime, like countless octopus tentacles.

Miyazaki Yu held his sword horizontally in front of his chest, then slashed outwards with a smooth, flowing motion. The tentacles formed from the shadows were instantly sliced ​​apart by his blade, like a hot knife cutting into butter.

However, these shadow tentacles, after being severed, did not dissipate, but instead transformed into sharp blades that swept towards Miyazaki Yu. Meanwhile, a shadow had silently spread to the feet of the armored man!

"Hehe, now that your shadow and mine are connected, our brains are connected too!"

Miyazaki Yu, who was swinging his sword, suddenly felt countless spikes rushing towards his brain, while his feet were simultaneously bound by shadows!

In the blink of an eye, the sharp spikes formed from the shadows had already landed on him!

"what!"

In an instant, Miyazaki Yu felt as if his whole body had been pierced by a thousand arrows!

This was an extreme pain, as if his whole body was being slowly tortured. All sorts of terrible pain spread throughout his body, and even with his strong will, he still could not withstand it!

"Hahaha, so what if he's a swordsman? There's a limit to how much pain a person can endure."

These shadows and black mists of mine are all formed from mental energy. The so-called spikes and bindings are all forms of mental suppression!

My brain capacity is ten times that of an average person, and my mental strength is dozens of times greater, even several times that of this little spider. Such a powerful mental attack can instantly trigger spasms in all the nerves of my body, enough to be fatal in an instant!

Even so, the armored man did not hesitate at all. A short sword instantly extended from the side of his right-hand armor. This short sword was an integral part of the armor. He moved up in a flash, about to pierce through Miyazaki Yu's body.

Just as he launched this attack, Miyazaki Yu's eyes turned bloodshot, and he gripped the short sword directly in his left hand. The armored man seemed to be stabbing a stone with a blunt knife, unable to penetrate even an inch.

"How is that possible!"

"Your spirit is indeed very strong, but I have my own methods!"

Little did he know that just a moment ago, Miyazaki Yu transformed his muscles into a cat's form, causing his strength to surge once again!

Moreover, from within his sleeve, a small silver-white snake bit Miyazaki Yu's arm, and a neurotoxin instantly spread out. Due to the paralysis caused by the toxin, the suppression of his mental power instantly loosened!

Although Miyazaki Yu sensed that as long as the shadow did not break, the continuous mental suppression would continue, and he would still be bound.

But one opportunity is enough, especially since the other party is already close enough to him!

A sword is swung out!

"—Click—"

"Ah—" the armored man screamed in agony.

The right hand's horizontal cloud strike landed heavily on the armor. The opponent's magnificent armor was surprisingly sturdy. Miyazaki Yu's sword, which was capable of cutting through metal, could not destroy it!

However, a deep crease appeared on the armor, and the glow on the armor dimmed!

"There's something wrong with this armor. So that's why. Just like the sword in my hand that I've nurtured for a long time with the sword-nurturing technique, this armor has also undergone some kind of change due to the influence of spiritual power, turning into something similar to a magical artifact."

Ultimately, it was the magnetization caused by external forces that altered the atomic arrangement of the weapon!

It's like a long sword. In the hands of a master swordsman, it can cut through steel, but in the hands of an ordinary person, it will break when trying to chop through steel. The reason is that once this sword is in the hands of a master swordsman, it will become something that is harder than steel due to the magnetization of bioelectricity, or rather, the enhancement of internal force!

However, once the blessing is removed, these swords are just ordinary swords!

However, there are always exceptions in this world. Steel will generate magnetic attraction after being magnetized for a long time, and swords will also undergo other changes after being altered by bioelectricity or mental power for a long time!

This armored man's mental strength was already very powerful. Just as he said, his brain capacity was astonishing, ten times that of an ordinary person, and his mental strength was dozens of times greater than that of an ordinary person. He could even make his mental strength into something similar to a physical entity!

Chapter 233 Mental Power and Brain Development

"My armor! Ah!"

More than the physical pain, the armored man was heartbroken for the armor he was wearing.

Three or four tenths of his current strength comes from this armor. Only with this armor does he have the ability to compete with those extraordinary powerhouses.

Once this armor is destroyed, his combat power will be greatly weakened, possibly even dropping to a level comparable to that of a spider, which is something he absolutely cannot tolerate.

"No, this can't go on. We must finish this quickly and decisively. We can't let this kid leave alive, otherwise I'll never be able to beat him again when we meet!"

Thinking of this, a ferocious expression appeared on his face beneath the armor!

Fortunately, Miyazaki Yu was also trembling all over. After unleashing that sword strike, he was unable to move and could only stand in place to adjust himself.

The mental shock caused him to feel dizzy, and the toxins injected into his muscles brought on a severe numbness, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.

Using snake venom to break free from control was not a reckless act; rather, he had previously conducted experiments to test his resistance to venom. He used a small amount of toxin to stimulate his muscles, making their expansion and contraction more flexible and varied.

After his mind was suppressed and he suffered damage, he thought of using snake venom to reduce the mental suppression.

Now, with just a little time, he can quickly break down toxins by utilizing changes in muscle shape and adaptation to them.

So he needs time now!

The armored man also needs time!

Psychological attacks are ineffective against the weak, but they can be problematic when dealing with opponents of similar strength.

If you can't kill your opponent instantly, the consequences will be extremely serious. If you get dragged into a protracted war, it will be a nightmare!

So he turned his gaze to the spider, who was still in a daze. This kid was exceptionally talented and had already reached a level of strength close to the extraordinary realm at a young age.

I had high hopes for him, but now it seems that he still needs to make some small sacrifices.

The spider, who had been in a daze, suddenly changed his expression. He felt his mental energy being stimulated, like ripples spreading and overlapping, and the leader's voice also reached his mind.

"Spider, listen up. I'm preparing a mental attack, which will take a little time. You need to hold on for me for just twenty seconds. This kid will be injured by my mental attack and won't be able to fight at full strength. Do you understand?"

The spider, who had just come to his senses, trembled involuntarily. The other person's voice had actually entered his brain directly.

However, he immediately became angry.

"Are you kidding me? You want me to fight a monster like that? I almost got beheaded by this guy just now!"

"Hehe, you don't need to worry. Just relax and I can use my mental energy to stimulate your brain and greatly increase your mental energy in a short time. Then you'll be able to stop that kid."

The spider cursed inwardly, "Nonsense! I also possess mental abilities, do you think I don't know that? Stimulating the brain can indeed generate more mental power in a short period of time, but doing so can easily lead to mental derangement!"

The organization leader sneered, "You don't have to agree, but you should have realized that the most terrifying thing about these martial arts experts is their unwavering will. Once they make up their minds, they won't give up easily. Even if I fail, I can leave calmly, but what about you? Are you confident that you can escape from their swords?"

Spider struggled for a moment, but in his mental perception, Miyazaki Yu, who had just suffered a violent shock and was originally listless, was gradually beginning to recover!

In his spiritual vision, Miyazaki Hayao's original spirit had transformed from a blazing sun into a torch, which was normal.

The mental shock of that intensity was enough to cause brain death instantly!

But this guy, as time went by, was actually recovering rapidly!

It gradually grew from a small torch into a large flame, and even grew stronger, which made the spider even more terrified.

Now that he has already fought this guy, it's as if he's been targeted. This means his future hunting career is going to be bleak.

"No, I have to kill this guy, otherwise I'll have to avoid him like the plague from now on!"

He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I agree!"

The organization leader chuckled: "I knew you'd agree, so let's get started now!"

What they didn't know was that Miyazaki Yu, who seemed to be stuck in place, was already undergoing a subtle change. A drastic change was taking place in his world of consciousness, and a strange brain was gradually taking shape.

This brain is the brain of a spider!

Miyazaki Yu can create a person's body in the world of consciousness and then bend it to complete some complex tasks, but this is subject to certain conditions.

The first is physical contact, like Vermouth's three henchmen. They fought Miyazaki Yu countless times, and Miyazaki Yu constantly made physical contact with them, thus fulfilling the first condition.

Then comes a full understanding of the human body!

His reason for dissecting corpses was to enrich his data; otherwise, a normal person would not be interested in corpses.

However, Miyazaki Yu had no choice. He wanted to make the bodies of his enemies or friends more realistic in the world of consciousness, so that his anatomical training would be more effective, and he needed to collect more data.

So whether he was studying medical books, dissecting human bodies, or fighting with others, these were both ways of learning and ways of gathering information!

So much so that now, it has become not so difficult for him to condense a person's body in the world of consciousness.

However, there is still one obstacle: strength!

Like that armored man, he had some contact with the other party, but the other party was very strong. After contacting the other party, he was unable to collect any data about the other party. The other party's mental power was like a barrier, resisting his invasion.

Previously, when simulating the swordsmen Takizaki and Makino in the world of consciousness, the timing was merely to materialize their images in a three-dimensional form in the world of consciousness, which was just a superficial appearance.

He simply couldn't dissect them in the world of consciousness.

All she could do was adjust their power and speed, as well as the circumstances of the battle, and study their movements and methods of exertion.

The spider beside him was the same; its mental power was also extremely strong, making it extremely difficult for me to simulate its body.

However, because his strength far surpassed that of his opponent, and the opponent was filled with great fear of him, this fear created enough loopholes in his mental barrier!

Even so, it is still impossible to directly simulate a complete spider in the world of consciousness.

So Miyazaki Yu came up with a good idea: to simply condense the other person's brain and use that brain to find the source of their spiritual power!

"I see. Their brains are so developed. If the average person's brain is only one, their brains are ten or even more!"

Only a brain region like this can generate enough outward-projecting mental power to interfere with the minds of others. Combined with some unique techniques, this guy can unleash illusions powerful enough to affect people's minds—illusions that even the witch Koizumi Akako couldn't resist!
