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

"Vermouth, you monster! I swear I will never let you get away with this!"

Carmel sighed inwardly. He had long known that if Judy found out that this matter might be related to Vermouth, she would act impulsively.

However, this is not her fault. The connection between Vermouth and Jodie is not just because of Shuichi Akai.

When she was young, her father was killed by Vermouth, and she almost died as well.

From that moment on, she stubbornly wanted to avenge her father. Later, she joined the FBI for this reason. In order to constantly remind herself not to forget the hatred, she has been wearing her father's only keepsake, the glasses.

Mentioning Vermouth's name again now will naturally ignite her hatred.

"So what we need to do now is lie in wait within Japan and search for Vermouth's whereabouts. We will definitely succeed!"

Judy nodded, her fighting spirit rekindled in her eyes.

As long as I'm alive, this will never end. Just wait, Vermouth, we'll meet again!

Inside a high-rise apartment building.

Two figures, one tall and one short, were also watching the sunset, just like Judy.

These are two women, one of whom is dressed like a boy and has short hair that reaches her ears, but she is actually a girl.

The other one was a little girl with short, slightly curly blonde hair, who seemed to be of mixed race. She had a tuft of curly hair on her forehead and sharp, dark green pupils with upturned corners.

If an average person saw this, they would definitely be very curious: how could a little girl have such a sharp look in her eyes?

But all of this seems perfectly reasonable in this girl's case.

Because this little girl isn't a real little girl, but rather, like Conan, she's shrunk from an adult into a child—this is, of course, also the work of APTX4869.

These two are Sera Masumi and her mother, Akai Mary. At this time, the female high school detective has not yet transferred to Teitan High School, but their actions have already deviated from those in the original story.

"Mom, do I really have to transfer to that school? It doesn't seem necessary, does it?" Sera Masumi asked, puzzled.

Chapter 241 Sera Masumi's Determination (3rd Update!)

Mary Akai looked serious.

"Zhen Chun, the way things have developed has exceeded all our expectations. That woman's strength has also exceeded our predictions. If we can't get more information, there is absolutely no way we can get revenge."

Hatred is the strongest driving force that motivates a person to act!

Because hatred is a human instinct, the more someone values ​​emotions, the less likely they are to forget hatred.

And Mary Akai is just that kind of person!

"Revenge?"

A hint of confusion flashed across Sera Masumi's handsome face, but her eyes quickly hardened.

"My father's grudges, and Mom, you became like this because of that organization, and Brother Xiu..."

As he said this, his lips trembled slightly.

She knew from a young age that she had an exceptionally talented older brother, but she had never met him until she was ten years old, when she finally met him for the first time.

From that moment on, his image was like a brand, deeply imprinted in his heart, never fading in the slightest.

He was so outstanding, so powerful. I started learning Jeet Kune Do from the videotapes he sent me.

Although we rarely met afterward, every time I thought about having such a brother, I felt at peace and reassured.

But all of this took a sudden turn for the worse!

They were shocked to receive news from the FBI that Shuichi Akai had died!

This was something they couldn't accept at first, but the truth was as hard as steel, and in the end they could only helplessly accept the fact that Shuichi Akai was dead.

"Based on the information I have now, Shuichi's death is inextricably linked to that woman Vermouth. Immediately after Shuichi's death, the organization canceled its assassination mission against him, and that woman's position within the organization was also promoted. All of this is certainly not a coincidence."

Sera Masumi frowned deeply: "I still can't believe it. Xiu-ge is so strong, yet he was still... "

Mary Akai coughed a few times.

"Hmph, that woman is a cunning fox. She's too good at disguising herself. She can easily transform into other people's appearances. Isn't that why I was given that drug?"

Sera Masumi nodded heavily.

Even the strongest person has moments of weakness, and Brother Xiu is no exception. That devilish woman must have taken advantage of Brother Xiu's moment of weakness to launch a sneak attack and succeed!

I absolutely cannot let her get away with this!

At this time, Vermouth was unaware that two forces targeting her were gathering in Japan and secretly searching for any clues about her.

However, Vermouth today is very different from the past. It remains to be seen what kind of sparks will fly from the clash between these three forces.

On the rooftop of Miyazaki Hayao's residence in Beika Town.

He stood quietly in place, sword in hand, seemingly completely relaxed, without exerting any effort whatsoever.

In reality, all the muscles in his body were undergoing rhythmic peristalsis at this moment, and the energy expenditure from this peristalsis was incomparable to any strenuous exercise.

In other words, although he is just standing still, he is engaging in the most intense activities.

Gradually, a layer of sweat appeared on his body, and his body surface began to heat up, turning dark red.

A white shadow flew out from Miyazaki Yu's sleeve; it was the small, silvery-white snake.

Snakes are very sensitive to temperature. At this moment, the temperature on Miyazaki Yu's body suddenly rose, which frightened the snake, so it crawled out ahead of time.

The little guy tilted his head, staring at his owner who was clearly not in the right state, his eyes full of doubt, and could only wait quietly.

Miyazaki Yu suddenly opened his eyes. He abruptly began to wield his longsword, and the pores of his entire body opened, as if the air and sunlight were flowing directly into his body, making him feel as if he had become one with the wind and the sunlight.

His attack was not swift at this moment, but rather carried a lazy feel to it.

This is not any kind of sword or knife technique, but just a casual gesture, a posture that makes me feel most comfortable.

At this moment, Miyazaki Yu neither pursued the sharpness of swordsmanship nor the training of the body, nor even considered the rules of swordsmanship.

Feeling the gentle breeze and basking in the sun, he was so comfortable that he simply danced however he felt comfortable, without thinking about anything else.

This is truly a wonderful feeling!

The five internal organs of the human body are originally closely connected.

But now, the external environment and the internal organs are in harmony, and the wind flows freely within the body!

Between the five internal organs, there is an extra layer of wind as a buffer and isolation. It seems that many organs in the body can slide and move a little distance in the chest and abdominal cavities under one's own control, instead of being fixed in one position as before.

All the breath and internal energy penetrated into the internal organs through the hidden channels within the body!

It's like the interaction between internal and external forces, and the unity of man and nature!

"Is this the effect of projecting mental energy?"

At this moment, Miyazaki Yu's face was expressionless, but in the world of consciousness, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak!

After he returned, he suddenly realized that mental power is the power in the brain, which is actually brainwaves, while internal power is the power in the physical body, which is bioelectricity and ion flow.

If you combine these two, along with introspection, you might create a wonderful chemical reaction!

After trying it out, he was utterly astonished!

In internal vision, many parts that were previously difficult to perceive can now be seen clearly!

This includes both internal and external parts, the surface of muscle tissue and organs, as well as the main blood vessels, all of which can be observed very clearly, which is the foundation of his martial arts.

However, the inside of the organs, the bones and the inside of the bones, and the most mysterious brain are all blind spots in our field of vision!

There are also the surface layers of the skin and muscles, and countless capillaries.

These are all blind spots in the field of vision, places that cannot be seen through internal vision.

But now, with the support of mental power, the internal vision has been upgraded like a slingshot has been equipped with a magnifying glass, and it also has the functions of X-ray vision and telescope, which has raised the level of the device to a whole new level!

What surprised Miyazaki Yu even more was the change in his internal energy.

After acquiring internal energy, he practiced diligently, constantly trying to increase its quantity. Countless time-travel and martial arts novels have proven this fact.

Basic energy, whether it's called chakra, internal energy, or spiritual energy, is all the same: the quantity must be large!

Like a certain fox demon, what was originally a forbidden technique was transformed into a common technique by his excessive chakra, unleashing unexpected power.

However, he later discovered that no matter how much he trained, the increase in internal strength was directly proportional to the strength of his physical body. His physical body was already very strong and had entered the accumulation period.

It would be extremely difficult to make any further significant progress.

However, he was unwilling to accept this. If he only had this much internal energy, it would be virtually impossible to use sword energy, that is, to extend the ion flow beyond the blade and achieve the legend of a forty-meter-long broadsword!

But now it's different. With the support of mental power, or brainwaves, the speed of internal energy circulation has been greatly increased instantly!

If he possessed strong mental power, cultivating internal energy would definitely be twice as effective!

Chapter 242 The Eye of the Soul that Sees Through Inside and Out

He suddenly realized that he might have opened up a new field and reached an unprecedented state!

Just looking at the path of becoming a swordsman, after reviewing the records of the Swordsman Association, he was also surprised that those who could become swordsmen before the age of forty were extremely rare!

To go further, one would need almost a lifetime of effort.

Almost no one has the ability to be distracted by other things. After training and tempering their physical body and developing internal strength, they still have the ability to study mental power.

This is equivalent to asking someone to have both the physical body of Li Yuanba and the intelligence of Zhuge Liang, which is almost impossible. The two things are completely opposite and almost impossible to achieve simultaneously.

In modern society, many disciplines are becoming increasingly specialized. The fundamental reason for this is that the more any discipline develops, the more knowledge is accumulated, and the more there is to learn.

In ancient times, when the classification of disciplines was rudimentary and the knowledge of each discipline was limited, it was possible to produce some all-rounders, some people who were proficient in everything.

However, as we get to modern times, the accumulation of knowledge in many disciplines is already immense. Many talented people spend their entire lives studying, sometimes until they are forty years old, before they can even grasp the forefront of a particular discipline. It is even more difficult to innovate.

The difficulty of what Miyazaki Yu has accomplished is like the example given before, which is equivalent to him merging two originally contradictory paths, and cultivating both paths to an extremely profound level.

Awakening one's spiritual power, especially to the point of projecting it outward, is extremely difficult. This is because, since ancient times, this power has only been passed down among certain bloodlines. There are indeed some training methods after awakening, but there is no way to achieve it without awakening.

In other words, this direction actually depends on innate talent. If you don't have it, you don't have it. It cannot be developed through training. Moreover, even if you have good innate talent, you still need years of training to have strong combat power.

Like the Spider who was taken away by the police, this guy is quite talented, but after so many years of training, he can only use his mental power in illusions. If he wants to reach the level of the organization leader and directly influence reality with his mental power, he will probably need to work hard for many more years.

These two achievements, which are almost impossible to achieve at the same time, have both occurred in one person, especially a young person.

That's how the chemical reaction we have now came about, opening up a whole new world!
