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

Her fingers silently pierced through the smooth wall of the wine glass, and the fragile glass was punctured with a hole in an instant, just like a piece of toilet paper that had been dripped with water.

Moreover, everyone here has sharp eyes. For example, Makoto Asai, as a skilled doctor, has excellent eyesight and saw it in an instant.

After my finger pierced through the glass, the edges of the two holes on the stemmed glass showed no signs of cracking whatsoever, as if they were the same holes that came with it when it was first made.

Kevin Yoshino and Hunter, as top snipers, immediately noticed the problem, as did Maeda Satoshi, Sayama Akiko, Miyano Akemi, and others.

Everyone was deeply shocked by this ability to control power.

While great strength is terrifying, it is not enough to make one feel invincible, because so-called martial arts are actually methods of avoiding the strong and attacking the weak.

However, this combination of strength and gentleness is unstoppable, like a rapid torrent that can shatter any stubborn rock!

Seeing the shocked or horrified looks on everyone's faces, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Vermouth's eyes.

Her primary purpose in taking action against Shiho Miyano was not only to teach this unruly girl a lesson, but also to intimidate others and re-establish her own position.

She's a mature, sophisticated, and ever-changing enchantress, unlike this little girl who deliberately picks fights out of jealousy.

With a twist of her fingers, the wine glass shattered, and she caught the shards in her hand. Then, with a gentle squeeze, the broken glass turned into tiny, sparkling particles.

At this moment, Shiho Miyano also recovered. This woman used her as a stepping stone to establish her authority, while that scoundrel Miyazaki Yu wanted to use this battle to increase his experience in fighting and find that feeling of combat.

After all, she was so well protected that she had hardly encountered any danger since following Miyazaki Yu.

Unlike in the original timeline, where she was guided by a Detective Conan character and reincarnated as a little girl, she experienced every danger imaginable in the world, as if she were possessed by a curse.

Although she had come to a realization, she still couldn't let go of her pride, but she didn't dare to act recklessly anymore. She gave a soft hum, bowed to Vermouth, and then walked to her sister's side.

Only then did Miyazaki Yu turn his gaze to everyone.

His gaze, like a searchlight, swept across the faces of the crowd, who all stared at him with fervor.

In particular, the eyes of Tadokoro Toshiya, Kevin Yoshino, Hunter, and Sayama Akiko all held a fervent and zealous look that no one else possessed, as if they were worshipping a deity.

The others also had solemn gazes, filled with heartfelt respect and obedience.

Although the number of people in front of them is small, they are actually a very powerful force.

Imagine, for example, the Black Organization in the past, which actually only had a dozen or so top-tier combatants that they could be considered capable of.

This was already evident when the Black Organization joined forces with the Pandora Organization to attempt to attack the Sword Masters' Guild.

With just a little preparation, the Sword Masters Association could wipe out all the strongholds of the two major organizations by gathering the strength of more than ten sword masters.

If all the people under Miyazaki Yu's command are added together, their strength is no less than that of ten sword masters. Especially if you include Ling Che and Akame who are still in the United States, the strength of the entire organization is already quite considerable.

But for Miyazaki Yu, it was still not enough, not nearly enough!

He doesn't need a dozen or so swordsmen as subordinates; that level of combat power wouldn't be of much use to him.

What he needs is a stronger fighting force; what he needs is a group of fighters who have reached the level of sword saints like Kawakami Gensai, or even stronger!

This is not wishful thinking, but something that is actually possible!

After fully understanding the properties of APTX4869, he used this drug to achieve the ability to traverse the physical body.

From Shiho Miyano and herself, it can be seen that after taking this drug and restoring their bodies, they can greatly strengthen their bodies and unleash their enormous potential.

Moreover, his control over mental power has reached a very subtle level. He can use mental power to infuse internal energy into other people's bodies, helping them to quickly cultivate internal energy, open up various meridians, and then extend the meridians into the internal organs to achieve the status of a Primordial True Person!

In other words, the achievements that geniuses need to work hard for a lifetime to have a certain probability of attaining have become something that Miyazaki Hayao can mass-produce!

With innate internal strength combined with sword techniques guided by muscles, the combined strength of these two factors already far surpasses that of ordinary sword masters.

The steel-cutting technique, once regarded as a divine skill by Miyazaki Hayao, can now be easily performed by those who have received it from him.

But that's not enough!

With their innate internal strength and sword skills, coupled with rigorous training, their strength is equivalent to that of a peak swordsman, still quite a distance from a sword saint.

Therefore, a new enhancement method is needed, which is to open the brain and guide out mental power!

This has already been proven in Gin's case; the brain can be guided and developed after birth, but the conditions are extremely demanding.

After dissecting the corpses of Gin and Orenello, and later obtaining the brain regions of several people with psychic abilities, Miyazaki Yu, through thousands of deductions, also found a way to draw out the psychic power of others.

However, he did not intend to follow the steps and help them cultivate innate qi first, and then open up the spiritual power. That would be too simple and the acquisition of power would be too cheap.

Therefore, he wanted to do the opposite: first, to draw out spiritual power and determine a person's potential in order to decide their future.

Chapter 655 Guiding Spiritual Power (3rd update!!!)

"The reason we've gathered everyone here today is that our little group has never had a gathering before, and all the members are complete strangers to each other, so we need to get to know each other."

For me, I don't have the energy to manage an overly large organization, so what I need is a small organization with a dozen or so capable subordinates, which is more than enough.

Therefore, I will not rashly expand the size of the organization. The ten of you, plus the two superhumans far away in America, make a total of twelve people, which is my current fighting force.”

Everyone nodded slightly; that was indeed true.

Their leader was not keen on expanding the organization's size. Every member of the organization had some connection with him and became a member for various reasons.

Moreover, since the organization was established, the leader has not assigned them any tasks, but only let them train themselves and handed over some industries to them to manage.

While this brought him considerable wealth, in reality, this amount of money was merely icing on the cake for Miyazaki Yu at this point.

However, it is precisely because of this trust and unconditional trust that everyone feels even more nervous.

Without rules, elimination of the bottom performers would be the natural rule, and whoever performs poorly would be the first to be eliminated!

This is the law of nature, and it is also the law of any organization!

So in reality, everyone is striving for the best.

Just like Makoto Asai, who joined Miyazaki Yu's team but always lacked presence, this little doctor from Tsukikage Island, after gaining resources, devoted himself to learning medical knowledge and working hard to train himself in order to repay Miyazaki Yu.

This greatly enhanced his abilities, making him a master among ordinary people.

Akemi Miyano is the same; her combat power has been greatly enhanced. She was once not valued by the Black Organization and was regarded as a girl with average talent, but she has made rapid progress.

After receiving muscle guidance from Miyazaki Yu, her combat power increased significantly, and she became a minor expert. If we use a swordsman as a unit of measurement, her strength is equivalent to 1.2 swordsmen.

"However, everyone, it is precisely because I do not care about quantity that I have even stricter requirements for quality. After joining the organization, you have all undergone extremely rigorous training, and your various abilities have been greatly improved, enough to make you stand out among ordinary people."

But that's still far from enough. It would be ridiculous for someone to be my subordinate and just bully ordinary people. What I need is a group of powerful warriors at the level of sword saints, each of whom can stand alone and intimidate others!

So the second reason I've gathered you all here today is to give you an opportunity to enhance your abilities. As for how far you can go, and whether it will satisfy me, that depends on your own capabilities!

He then told everyone that he would guide the spiritual power hidden in their minds.

Everyone was deep in thought. This was clearly an opportunity to rise to the top in one step. If they could seize this opportunity, they would naturally leap over the dragon gate and become a significant force in the world.

However, it's obvious that developing brain regions involves huge risks.

Vermouth spoke first: "What is the success rate of this method you mentioned for drawing out spiritual power? What will be the consequences if it fails?"

Miyazaki Yu smiled and said, "There won't be any consequences, because my power will continuously release energy during the guidance process to protect the brain."

The only consequence is that this is a one-way street, and everyone can only use it once; in other words, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. However…

He paused for a moment, then continued.

"However, this process of guiding out spiritual power brings unavoidable, almost soul-deep pain because it impacts the meridians of the brain. It feels like dozens of electric drills are drilling into the brain at the same time."

Furthermore, the process will become increasingly painful over time, like being torn apart by a thousand cuts. As time goes on, the intense pain will completely break a person's willpower. The longer you can endure it, the more mental strength you will generate!

With more mental energy, your strength will be greatly enhanced in a short period of time, allowing you to become the strongest in this world.

Everyone was horrified. The pain seemed like something that could be endured, but in reality, excessively intense pain was beyond the power of willpower to resist.

After all, in principle, pain is a nerve signal, and willpower is also a type of nerve signal. The idea of ​​overcoming oneself is a false proposition.

In this way, it becomes obvious who has a stronger will and who has higher qualifications and goes further.

"Let's eat first, and then we'll decide who will be the first to try it."

After the meal, a figure walked up to Miyazaki Yu and volunteered to be the first to try it. It was Vermouth. As Miyazaki Yu's woman, she wanted to be the first to try this secret technique and see how much power it could bring her!

"boom!"

The moment the guidance was activated, Vermouth's brain felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer weighing hundreds of pounds.

Intense pain suddenly spread, triggering spasms in her muscles. If it weren't for Miyazaki Yu's internal energy protecting her body, she wouldn't have been able to endure such pain for even a second.

Because once a muscle spasm occurs, it will stop even if you don't want to!

After the intense and direct pain comes an extremely sharp, throbbing pain, as if countless fine needles are darting around in the brain like fish, turning the entire brain into a paste.

She can no longer feel fear; all that remains in her mind is pain and suffering.

Vermouth was sustained only by her pride; otherwise, her consciousness would have already faded.

She didn't know how much time had passed when her brain reached its limit, and she was about to lose consciousness when the pain receded like a tide.

Upon opening my eyes, an unprecedented sense of exhaustion washed over me, and I felt like collapsing to the ground. This was caused by excessive mental exertion.

At this moment, two maids came forward, helped Vermouth up, and led her towards the bedroom.

At this moment, Vermouth was covered in sweat. With each step she took, beads of sweat dripped directly to the ground, giving an idea of ​​just how much she had sweated.

"Her record is twenty-five minutes, gentlemen, who wants the next one?"

This time, Shiho Miyano did not hesitate and stepped forward to sit down, thus beginning her guided journey.

Twenty-two minutes later, she was exactly like Vermouth had been, even rolling her eyes and falling into a deep sleep.

Then another maid came forward and led him back to his room.

Then it was Asai Makoto's turn, and fifteen minutes later, it was the next one.

Chapter 656 A New World Under the Power of Mental Force

Finally, all the results are as follows.

Vermouth 25 minutes, Shiho Miyano 22 minutes, Makoto Asai 15 minutes, Akemi Miyano 15 minutes, Koichi Matsumoto 14 minutes, Toshiya Tadokoro 9 minutes, Satoshi Maeda 10 minutes, Akiko Sayama 9 minutes, Kevin Yoshino 10 minutes, Hunter 9 minutes.

In other words, this divides everyone into three tiers.

The first level is those who can endure such intense pain for more than twenty minutes. There are only two people in this level: Vermouth and Shiho Miyano.

Then there are those who played for ten minutes or more, namely Makoto Asai, Akemi Miyano, Sayuri Matsumoto, Satoshi Maeda, and Kevin Yoshino.

Finally, those who lasted less than ten minutes were Toshiya Tadokoro, Akiko Sayama, and Hunter.
