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

Director Liu Ze was in a dilemma.

The ultimate goal of this project is to study the secrets of human physiology, obtain more data, and thus conduct research on super soldiers.

The government has actually been monitoring and researching famous athletes.

However, the results were not significant. After all, although the athletes' physical abilities far exceeded those of ordinary people, there was still a huge gap between them and those truly outstanding individuals.

The swordsmen of the Sword Masters Guild, in particular, are the best source of material.

But these old folks, each clinging to their own limited knowledge, completely ignored the government's suggestions.

Moreover, these people each belong to different factions, and their networks of relationships are intricate and complex. If they ignore it, the government is completely powerless to do anything about it.

That's why they set their sights on this young man, Miyazaki Yu.

Especially since he is all alone and does not belong to his own sect, he is not involved in any network of relationships, making it much easier to break through from him.

What's even more amazing is that he's the youngest swordsman, and his physical abilities are far superior to those of the older guys.

It is the most valuable case for research, which is why the government sent Director Yanagisawa to talk to them personally.

"Miyazaki Kengo, I hope you will seriously consider this matter. This is the government's decision!"

The tone of this sentence was very forceful, and it seemed to carry a subtle threat.

Miyazaki Yu narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this.

The reason he did so many things after waking up was ultimately because he didn't want to be threatened in any way.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body, instantly silencing all the chirping of insects and birds around the building!

Chapter 269 The Source of the Matter

"what!"

In an instant, Director Liu Ze felt his whole body stiffen on the spot, and he couldn't even move a little finger. He was like a wax figure, completely fixed in place.

He felt heavy all over, as if a large rock was pressing down on him.

This feeling was similar to when he had stared at a giant Steppenwolf many years ago.

The giant wolf's eyes flashed with a terrifying red light, and its monstrous aura of predation made him feel a fear that all living beings would never forget.

And that's exactly what happened!

During his battle with the leader of the mysterious organization, Miyazaki Yu unexpectedly awakened his spiritual power, and after achieving a state of internal and external harmony, his inner strength underwent a strange transformation.

Therefore, although he had not systematically studied how to use mental power, he could still perform the simplest form of mental suppression.

Just like the leader of that organization, when he made his appearance, he used this move to render everyone present except for himself completely immobile, pinning them to the spot!

The current Director Liu Ze is the same.

Miyazaki Hayao is like a spiritual giant, while he is a spiritual weakling.

It's like a wild dog encountering a tiger; instead of fighting back, it lies prostrate on the ground waiting to die. It's not because the wild dog lacks courage, but because the fear ingrained in its genes completely overcomes its reason.

"Whoohoo-"

A moment later, Miyazaki Yu withdrew his imposing aura and stared sharply at Director Yanagisawa without any attempt to evade him.

Director Liu Ze was panting heavily, and while anger rose in his heart, he also felt a wave of weakness throughout his body, as if he had just gone through a fierce battle.

This filled him with horror.

"What's going on? I was only targeted by his aura, and I'm already trembling to this extent. If he were to attack me, wouldn't he be able to take my life in an instant?"

He suddenly understood why swordsmen of this caliber could roam freely throughout the land in ancient times, and even the emperor could not summon them at will.

That's because such people were practically invincible before the advent of firearms. Even if a large-scale army was deployed, as long as the enemy sensed something was wrong, the encirclement and annihilation would inevitably fail.

A failed harem is met with endless assassination attempts from the enemy.

Just thinking about that feeling sends chills down your spine.

So what if the other party refuses me, relying on the behemoth that is the Sword Masters Association?

Unexpectedly, power, which had always been invincible, now appeared so pale and powerless.

That's understandable. Power is actually composed of two aspects: coercion and consequences.

It's like when you're an official exercising power over someone in front of you, you have the ability to coerce them. For example, if an emperor issues an order and you don't obey, he'll kill your whole family, so you have no choice but to obey his imperial decree.

If not, the deterrent effect of power will be greatly reduced.

But power has another trick up its sleeve: consequences.

For example, a company leader may not be able to force others, but he can be bossy towards his subordinates. If the subordinates do not listen, the consequences are self-evident: they will be packing their bags and going home.

Then comes the loss of income, then the lack of food, and even worse, the other party will target you even more, making it extremely difficult to find another company.

If you can't handle the consequences, then you'll naturally have no choice but to do what the other person says.

This is what power truly is.

However, these two moves are now ineffective against Miyazaki Yu.

He can neither force the other party nor cause them serious consequences.

All of the opponent's abilities come from his own combat power; a powerful swordsman is enough to create a special deterrent.

This is hard to imagine in modern society. The state apparatus is so powerful that the power of an individual is extremely insignificant in comparison.

But there are exceptions!

When a swordsman truly goes berserk, he can cause immense destruction, the consequences of which could be unbearable for a nation.

Just like Teiji Moriya before, an architect who was determined to take revenge on society could steal some gunpowder from the gunpowder depot.

A swordsman, on the other hand, has even more options.

All of this was just a fleeting thought in Director Liu Ze's mind at that moment.

These thoughts sent a shiver down his spine.

"Damn it, we all underestimated this young man! His actions just now were both a threat to me and a way of saying that he doesn't mind fighting to the death at any time!"

No one could make him submit; having already achieved fame and fortune, he could still be so resolute!

Unbeknownst to him, Miyazaki Yu's heart had undergone a genuine change when he hunted down Shuichi Akai in America.

He can be a gentle and refined young swordsman, or a ruthless and decisive demon from hell!

What others find difficult to adapt to is a change of mindset that only takes him a moment.

Courage is never just a slogan, but a price to pay; it's a resolute willingness to start over at any time.

Such a person may be praised and lauded by some, while others may think he is crazy, but no one dares to underestimate him; that's the reality.

"Director Liu Ze, please go back. I can pretend that our conversation today never happened, and you should also forget all of this. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

Director Liu Ze's expression shifted constantly, but he was inwardly extremely annoyed.

I shouldn't have said those things. Instead of using my power to intimidate others, I ended up putting myself in a passive position.

"Miyazaki-kun! I apologize for my rudeness just now. What I said was just my personal stupidity and had nothing to do with the government's decision. The government is sincere!"

Miyazaki Yu sneered: "Oh? So you're really sincere. This whole plan of yours was actually started because of that guy I captured, wasn't it? You used my spoils, and now you're coming to tell me this?"

Director Liu Ze swallowed hard, his pupils shrinking involuntarily.

Miyazaki Yu is right. The reason the government has started this project is because they have found an excellent research subject.

The government has already gained some useful insights from the study of this person, and is even conducting brainwave experiments.

The subject of this study was the spider that had been captured earlier, namely Günter von Goldberg II.

After the government apprehended the man, they attempted to interrogate him, but he had already become mentally deranged due to excessive stimulation of his mental energy.

But even in this state, some incredible things can still be accomplished.

This piqued the interest of the government, which had conducted human trials before.

The result was quite astonishing: this person's brainwaves were abnormally active, dozens of times more active than normal. These abnormally active brainwaves could affect the mental state of others.

The government was delighted with the results. Once the secrets of brainwaves were fully unlocked, it might be possible to use similar methods to stimulate others and create superpowers.

Once such highly capable individuals can be mass-produced, Japan will be able to significantly enhance its military capabilities without researching cutting-edge weaponry!

At this moment, Director Yanagisawa looked at Miyazaki Yu as if he had seen a ghost.

This young man was truly terrifying; he was able to start with a vague idea and quickly find the source of the problem, which shocked and terrified him!

Chapter 270 Miyazaki Yu's Conditions

This was also Miyazaki Yu's guess. He deliberately asked a question to test the waters, but he never expected that his words would come true.

He couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He had captured an extraordinary person and made him a subject of government research, and now he was actually setting his sights on him.

For a moment, Director Liu Ze was at a loss.

Logically speaking, having reached his current position through countless trials and tribulations, and having long held a high position with considerable authority, he should not be in such a state of panic.

However, ever since Guigu revealed his true colors, this young man has exuded a terrifying pressure, making Guigu feel as if he were at a high altitude, experiencing altitude sickness. Both mentally and physically, Guigu was in a state of absolute weakness.

Just like a hare facing a tiger, it has no way to think properly.

After struggling for a moment, he gritted his teeth and continued, "Miyazaki Kengo, I can guarantee that as long as you participate in this project, the benefits will far exceed your imagination. The government can also authorize you to access some secret government databases."

Even the library, which is exclusively for royalty, can be opened to you.

Furthermore, I can assure you on behalf of the government that the scope of the research only includes physical endurance and some motion capture and analysis. If it involves research on human tissue, it will require your full knowledge and authorization.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Miyazaki Yu was also surprised; the government had gone to great lengths to get him involved in the project.

However, Miyazaki Yu's expression remained indifferent, without any indication of her reaction.

This made Director Liu Ze even more uneasy.

Miyazaki Yu suddenly smiled and said, "Director Yanagisawa, now that things have come to this point, if I don't agree, I'd be ungrateful."

Director Yanagisawa's eyes lit up: "Miyazaki-kun, you agree?"
