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

Ai was slightly taken aback, then let out a soft hum, nodded gently, and buried her face in his chest.

She only breathed a sigh of relief after Miyazaki Yu put her back on the bed in the room.

Held in his arms, she tensed up. His scent was wonderful, like being surrounded by green hills and clear waters, giving her a sense of peace and security.

Lost in thought, she soon fell into a deep sleep.

On the rooftop in the early morning, a clear bird song awakened the sleeping earth, and a ray of light fell on the rooftop, officially ushering in a new day.

It was a hazy moment between heaven and earth, and Miyazaki Yu was sitting cross-legged on the rooftop, his body shimmering with a crystalline light, as if coated with a faint frost-white fluorescent glow.

However, upon closer inspection, they turned out to be countless white crystals formed from condensed mental energy, evenly distributed across every inch of the skin.

If Miyazaki Yu were dissected at this point, it would be discovered that not only his skin but also the major blood vessels inside his body were gradually covered with a layer of crystals.

This may seem simple, but in reality, even with telekinesis, and having cultivated it to the point of being able to control one's own arms, achieving this is extremely difficult.

The first step is to compress your mental energy and evenly cover it across your entire skin, just like carefully applying scales.

This requires extremely precise control; otherwise, if even a slight increase in mental energy is used, the psychic power will penetrate the skin and return to the body's interior.

What Miyazaki Yu wanted was to transform his psychic power into a barrier, like the pure energy barrier in science fiction stories, to protect his skin, blood vessels, muscle bundles, and organs.

It's like condensing a layer of armor over all the vital organs and body structures!

Even more remarkable is that this layer of armor is not simply for defense, but for deflecting the backlash of power, which is what Miyazaki Yu values ​​even more.

Just like the previous body mimicry training.

He can move his muscles freely and mimic various shapes. Although mimicking the peacock mantis shrimp was difficult, he still managed to do it.

However, this way of exerting force is truly terrifying. The peacock mantis shrimp is small, and it is in the water, yet it can create a vortex of several thousand degrees Celsius over a very short distance with a single strike.

A living human being, whose body is hundreds or thousands of times larger than a mantis shrimp, will have to withstand a correspondingly greater backlash.

Even with Miyazaki Hayao's powerful physique, he couldn't withstand this kind of power!

However, if one can achieve the state of mental power described above, accurately attaching it to muscle bundles and various organs, a miraculous effect can be achieved.

That is, all the pressure and all the backlash are borne by the psychic barrier, while Miyazaki Yu's own body will not suffer any backlash!

However, achieving this ideal state is simply too difficult.

The area covered by the blood vessels throughout the body is more than 0.5 hectares, and in terms of length alone, it could circle the Earth twice!

Even if we only look at the major blood vessels and organs, the difficulty of covering them all and achieving a delicate balance is unimaginable.

Therefore, Miyazaki Yu decided to temporarily abandon this direction and work directly in the opposite direction, which he named "Spiritual Illusion"!

The so-called "spirit phantom" is actually a direction that Miyazaki Hayao came up with by borrowing the supernatural power of "manifesting heaven and earth" from Journey to the West.

Since I can't do it on a microscopic scale right now, I'll do the opposite and use my mental power to create an external avatar!

In anime, when the battles reach their later stages, so-called "Gundam-like abilities" often appear.

Gundam warriors and Susanoo are examples of this type of ability.

When the protagonist encounters a battle, he directly activates this gigantic ability to sweep away everything. Therefore, both the microscopic and macroscopic aspects represent immense power; it all depends on how you utilize it.

Chapter 618 The Old Taoist's Surprise

However, to achieve that effect, the amount of mental energy required is simply enormous.

To give an example, if his current mental power is just a trickle, then the amount of mental power he would need to truly use the phantom of mental energy would be as vast as the ocean, or at least as mighty as a raging river.

Therefore, his primary goal now is to cultivate inward to increase his control over mental power and make breakthroughs at the microscopic level, or to cultivate the illusory image of mental power to increase the quantity of mental power.

"call--".

He let out a long breath, his whole body throbbed with energy, and his mental power circulated throughout his body, instantly cleansing him up and sweeping away the fatigue from a night of cultivation.

This technique is like the refresh function on a computer; it can eliminate physical fatigue in an instant.

This was an effect he discovered by chance after his telekinetic powers were upgraded.

He was amazed that telekinesis could move freely through flesh and blood without any side effects. However, he immediately realized that telekinesis was a product of the condensation of mental power and internal energy.

Just like an alloy among metals, psychic power possesses the characteristics of both internal force and spiritual power, and also has its own unique and powerful potential. It is a mutation and upgrade of energy within the body, representing the ultimate in bioenergy.

That's right, that's Miyazaki Yu's assessment of telekinesis: the ultimate form of bioenergy!

Because mental power is the crystallization of bodily energy, as long as you use mental power to travel through the meridians, muscles, and blood vessels throughout your body, you can quickly restore your physical strength, and it only consumes a little bit of mental power.

In other words, if Miyazaki Yu has sufficient psychic power, he could go on without sleep forever, giving him one-third more time than ordinary people!

However, while this may restore one's spirit, the fatigue in the body's cells is not actually eliminated. If one does not rest for a long time, even someone like Miyazaki Yu will experience cell fatigue.

In summary, he still needs sleep, but not so much. A few hours of sleep every few days or even every ten days is perfectly sufficient.

"The illusory image of the mind is based on mental power, which conjures up an external image to become one's own avatar. In fact, if one really uses enough mental power, it will not be an illusory image, but will be transformed into a real entity and solidified. With the strength of my current mental power, the mental power that has solidified into a real entity will immediately become an indestructible and terrifying existence!"

In his vision, the entire phantom of the mind was entirely composed of condensed mental energy, but it also contained sword energy. Once it encountered a sufficiently strong fortress, the phantom of the mind could smash it with its fist.

It can also unleash a large amount of sword energy stored in the phantom of the spirit, tearing a small hole in the enemy's so-called fortress in one go, concealing the phantom of the spirit, and thus turning the enemy's fortress into ruins with minimal cost.

With a thought, the psychic energy crystals quickly began to cover his entire body, making his skin sparkle and shimmer, just like Goku in Dragon Ball who had used Ultra Instinct, his entire body covered in crystals.

With his current physical strength, plus this layer of protection, not to mention ordinary artillery, even powerful missiles and small nuclear bombs can no longer pose a fatal threat to him.

However, his transformation was not yet over. White crystals continued to condense on the surface of his body, like a thick layer of ice, enveloping his entire body.

Although it was described as a thick layer, its overall thickness was only about one centimeter. However, even so, he was completely encased in this shell, as if frozen in ice.

However, although it is only one centimeter thick, this one centimeter is like the armor of the droplet detector in The Three-Body Problem. It looks crystal clear and dazzling, but in fact it has unimaginable and terrifying hardness.

Whether you use a knife or axe to chop or attack with any kind of firearm, it will have absolutely no effect.

At that moment, a figure lightly leaped from the rooftop next to them, landing on the rooftop where Miyazaki Yu was, like a black wild goose.

He immediately noticed Miyazaki Yu, who was encased in a crystal of psychic energy, and his eyes widened instantly.

"What... what is this? Is it ice? No, it's not ice. It has no temperature on the surface. It's a strange crystal. Is this some kind of superpower? No, it's not a superpower. It's clearly energy cultivated through practice, just like internal energy. It's a kind of power generated by the human body!"

The old man in black was none other than the old Taoist priest who was coming to Japan to meet Miyazaki Yu.

However, at this moment, the old man had changed his attire, wearing a black casual outfit, just like an ordinary old man.

He arrived in Japan yesterday and rushed to Beika Town overnight to stay. He couldn't resist coming here early this morning and found the house where Miyazaki Yu was staying.

The old man was somewhat surprised that he had not encountered any obstacles along the way.

This is normal, though. When Miyazaki Yu first showed his talent, the higher-ups in Japan were already very nervous and secretly deployed control over the entire Beika Town. It may seem like the same as before, but in reality, the entire Beika Town is already an impregnable fortress.

While this created some surveillance over Miyazaki Yu, it also achieved some positive results. Reporters who wanted to interview him, as well as those who tried to spy on Miyazaki Yu's life, were all driven away.

The Japanese higher-ups knew that angering this man's harem could be disastrous, and they didn't want to bear the consequences.

Over time, various media outlets, small gangs, and individuals with ulterior motives all gave up.

It wasn't until Miyazaki Hayao caused a ruckus in America that all the people deployed in Beika Town were withdrawn.

However, the place remained peaceful. Reporters considered it a restricted area, and others habitually avoided it as well. This allowed the old man to arrive at Miyazaki Yu's residence without realizing it, leading to the scene before us.

As a martial arts expert, the old man's curiosity had been completely aroused, and he stared intently at the 'ice block' in front of him.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable! This seems to be the crystallization of some kind of power, a power that should be extremely terrifying, but I am standing here and cannot feel even the slightest bit of this energy's restraint."

The old man couldn't resist and placed his palm on the crystal, wanting to touch and feel its properties.

In that instant, Miyazaki Yu, inside the crystal, suddenly opened his eyes, a divine light emanating from them, and a powerful sense of oppression spread out instantly.

The moment his hand landed, a feeling of terror swept over him, and the old man instantly felt a great horror descend upon him.

It was as if an enormous dragon was baring its fangs at him, and every cell in his body was screaming warnings.

There was only one thought in my mind: to run fast, as if if I slowed down even a little, I would be completely crushed into pieces!

The old man reacted instantly, leaping more than ten feet away. However, at that moment, the crystal, which had been incredibly hard, underwent a sudden change.

Chapter 619 Miyazaki Yu's Interests (3rd Update!)

Those crystals, which seemed as hard as ice, softened instantly and turned into tendrils like vines. Two or three slender tendrils swept towards the old man in an instant.

"what?"

The old man was shocked. The little guy's mastery of this power was clearly beyond his imagination.

It can change the shape of this crystal at will, but it is unknown whether this is a characteristic of this power or if there are other unknown secrets.

The old man dodged with all his might, his body gracefully twisting and turning to avoid an attack from a tentacle. At the same time, he flicked his sleeve and pressed down hard on the tentacle. With a clang, the old man used the force to move away from the vine that had turned back and was attacking from behind.

"A hidden dagger? Interesting."

At this moment, Miyazaki Yu had fully woken up and was somewhat annoyed. After returning, his vigilance had greatly decreased, which was not a good sign.

Although he knew that no one could easily break through his defenses, it was illogical that he only discovered the other party's presence after they got so close.

However, he also knew in his heart that this old man should not have any ill intentions. If he had any ill intentions, the killing intent on his body would be as conspicuous as a bright lamp in the dark night, which would definitely not be able to hide from his perception.

So after waking up, he did not attack immediately, but instead controlled the psychic crystal to transform into vines and launch an attack, wanting to test the old man's origins.

With just a slight probe, the old man's cultivation level and methods aroused his great interest.

The old man had just concealed a soft sword in his sleeve, and the sword was covered with extremely sharp sword energy. Although it did not pose any threat to the crystal, its sharpness surprised Miyazaki Yu.

This old man, who looks like an ordinary old man, is in no way inferior to Kawakami Gensai in terms of the sharpness of his sword energy!

So he immediately perked up and began to fully control the crystal vines, launching an attack.

With his current control over the crystal, he could only create a dozen or so crystal vines at most, which was Miyazaki Yu's limit. Furthermore, since the psychic crystal was used for off-body combat and without sword energy as its core, the speed of the psychic crystal was not particularly fast.

Miyazaki Yu's Void Sword Technique is particularly terrifying because it combines superhuman speed with stability enhanced by telekinesis, achieving a perfect complement between sword energy and telekinesis.

At this point, simply using telekinesis to fight would seem rather clumsy.

However, the so-called clumsiness here is only relative to Miyazaki Yu; at this moment, the old man was already complaining bitterly.

"Damn it, what are these things? Could they be the kind of energy that forms tiny crystalline swords? They're so tough! My sword energy doesn't even scratch them. And without me even realizing it, I'm completely surrounded by them."

The old man immediately stopped hiding his abilities. He had originally intended to pay a visit quietly, but due to a chance discovery, things had turned out this way, and he had actually started to greet the person in question directly.

These days, young people don't have any sense of martial ethics. If I, an eighty-year-old man, don't try to escape, I'm afraid I'll be sliced ​​into sausages.

He immediately let out a soft shout, and the soft sword in his hand transformed into a series of afterimages, because the speed of the soft sword was pushed to the limit!
