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

In fact, Miyazaki Yu had been prepared for this ranking for a long time.

Vermouth was one of the earliest followers of his, and she was already quite strong and had a strong will. In addition, she was one of the first people to receive muscle guidance, and Miyazaki Yu also gave her a lot of guidance. After a period of hard training, it was only natural that she was the strongest among them.

Shiho Miyano is the same. After her body recovered, her overall aptitude was greatly enhanced. Her perfect control over her power is also a manifestation of the enhancement of her spirit.

Furthermore, this period of practicing Taoist swordsmanship, which was integrated into the swordsmanship taught by Miyazaki Yu, makes his second-place ranking well-deserved.

As for the second tier, they were all specially taught by Miyazaki Yu, like Matsumoto Sayuri, who was originally just an ordinary person who didn't know martial arts.

She only achieved her current strength after Miyazaki Yu guided her muscle memory. Moreover, as Miyazaki Yu's woman, she had more opportunities for special training than many others.

As for the third tier, they are in a rather unfortunate situation, like Akiko Sayama. Although Miyazaki Yu guided her through muscle memory, it was only once, and she was not particularly strong to begin with. The same goes for Toshiya Tadokoro.

Hunter was a little different. Although Miyazaki Yu had surgically healed his old injury, the psychological trauma of the pain remained a permanent memory.

Just like the control that drugs exert on people, although Hunter has been trying to overcome it, the psychological issues still need to be addressed little by little.

That is why his guidance time was almost the shortest, even less than Kevin Yoshino's.

That being said, in reality, these people's performance was already quite remarkable. Each of them had a pain tolerance that was more than ten times higher than that of the average person.

Just like the international classification of pain levels, even the highest level twelve pain, which is similar to childbirth or the feeling of a man being hit in the groin, is completely incomparable to the pain produced by the method used by Miyazaki Hayao.

Because this is a kind of all-encompassing, all-encompassing pain, once it begins, there is no part of the body that is not in pain, so it is a way to slightly distract yourself.

Therefore, being able to endure such pain for even a minute is already the mark of a true warrior.

Those that last more than five minutes are extremely rare!

Now, the person among them who lasted the shortest time has exceeded eight minutes; they are clearly all formidable individuals.

Indeed, they are all characters who have had a profound impact on the original work. Each of them is not a simple character. In addition, Miyazaki Yu brought about completely different changes to them, naturally making them an existence that ordinary people can hardly reach!

The next morning, on the soft bed, her biological clock jolted Vermouth awake from a deep sleep, her eyes sparkling with intelligence.

The beauty, who had just woken up, suddenly went from dim to bright, emitting a faint glow all over her body, illuminating her entire being.

"This feels so light!"

She made a sword gesture with her hand inside the blanket, then flicked it, and the blanket covering her body suddenly fell off by itself. With a light touch of her toes, she was already standing lightly on the bed.

She could clearly feel the difference; the world looked completely different to her, and her vision was suddenly filled with many more colors.

This isn't a color, but a feeling, a clearer and brighter feeling, like a clean glass that suddenly has a dazzling, crystalline quality.

By spreading his mental energy outwards, he could clearly perceive all the movements around him. Most people in the surrounding rooms were asleep, and only some servants were busy preparing breakfast on the first floor.

From the grass downstairs, rustling sounds could be heard incessantly, and many butterflies were flying among the flowers.

Passing through the sculptures in the courtyard, my consciousness wandered around and suddenly discovered Miyazaki Yu sitting in the center of the courtyard. His eyes were closed, and his body was surrounded by a layer of crystal-like material.

His expression was calm, his handsome face with its distinct features, exuding an unparalleled sense of solemnity amidst his gentle demeanor.

Gazing at him, she felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. This was the man she loved. He possessed unparalleled strength and a meticulous and decisive character. He was the most powerful and mysterious being in the world, a true god!

She was using her mental power to silently watch him, just like she used to secretly count his eyelashes after waking up in the morning.

Just then, his eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened wide.

Immediately, she felt a pair of enormous eyes appear above her head, like the eyes of heaven looking down upon all living beings.

Before she could even react, his figure vanished. She had just gotten off the bed when a smiling figure was already standing in the room.

"I knew someone was spying on me, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Vermouth spat lightly: "I wasn't spying on you. I just became a little curious after gaining mental power. I never imagined that mental power could have such wonderful uses. Tell me the truth, did you often use your mental power to spy on me before?"

Miyazaki Yu stepped forward and put his arm around her slender waist.

"You belong entirely to me, why would I need to peek?"

He then smiled and said, "Alright, everyone is awake now. Let's see what everyone has gained this time. Moreover, guiding out spiritual power is just the beginning. Such spiritual power can only be used as an aid. To truly enhance strength, we still need to improve our internal energy cultivation."

Fifteen minutes later, everyone gathered back in the hall.

At this moment, everyone's faces were filled with excitement.

At this moment, they, like Vermouth before them, also felt changes in their bodies.

After channeling their mental energy, each of them now possesses mental strength comparable to that of the former Spider Killer. With just a little learning of mental techniques, they can launch attacks using their mental energy.

Moreover, the wonderful uses of mental power go far beyond this.

Chapter 657 Illusion Ability and Mental Object Manipulation

Their powerful mental strength gives them almost inexhaustible energy.

In critical moments, even if it takes ten days and ten nights without sleep, they can persevere and not break down.

Not only that, but their learning ability will also increase significantly, and even their intelligence level will be greatly enhanced.

To give an analogy, it's like their brains were originally on a 3G network, and now they've been upgraded to 4G. The network speed has increased dramatically, and the improvement isn't just in one aspect.

It's a comprehensive enhancement!

It can be said that once they activated their spiritual power, they instantly transcended the realm of ordinary people and became members of the extraordinary realm!

Even for the best in the extraordinary realm, it's only a matter of time!

At this moment, everyone was experiencing the changes within themselves, and the expressions on their faces were quite varied.

"Is this mental power? Using my current senses to imagine past feelings is like someone wiping away the condensation on a window, and all the sensations suddenly become clear!"

Although Hunter, as a top-notch sniper, had the weakest mental strength among all the people, he still sensed things extremely clearly.

Not only is the brain exceptionally clear, but there has also been a qualitative leap in the judgment of various external factors, such as wind speed, the size and distance of objects, mental arithmetic ability, and subtle judgment of air humidity and temperature!

Just like the previous analogy, he felt that his brain had undergone a broadband upgrade, and its computing power had been greatly improved.

Even their eyesight and ability to detect moving objects have improved dramatically, making them completely different from what they used to be.

"Previously, although my sniping ability had been greatly improved under Miyazaki-sama's muscle guidance, two thousand yards was my absolute limit. But now, that distance has been greatly extended!"

I am now confident that I can effectively snipe targets at yards of 3,500 or more!

This directly boosted his ultimate ability by almost double, which made Hunter's excitement overflow!

Then he remembered the painful experience he had had before, when a bullet had pressed on his nerves and caused him pain—a memory that was all too vivid in his mind.

This significantly affected his tolerance for pain, so he was actually among the worst in the process of guiding his spiritual power.

Moreover, during the guidance process, he also knew that every extra minute he persisted would bring enormous benefits.

Those who lasted for more than ten minutes already benefited greatly, so how much benefit must Lady Vermouth and Ms. Shiho Miyano have received?

Now, everyone in the organization no longer regards Miyazaki Yu as a benchmark; compared to ordinary people, he is now a true god!

It is the ceiling of combat power in this world, and the supreme life form in this world!

Therefore, the only ones we can compare now are those two.

At this moment, Akemi Miyano also sensed the change. Her eyes suddenly brightened, and if you looked closely, you would find that her eyes were like a vast starry sky, like a bottomless pool, with a captivating sharpness!

"Is this the ability to create illusions?"

She could clearly sense that, if she wanted, she could easily pull someone with lower mental strength than herself into an illusion.

This surprised and delighted her!

After joining Miyazaki Yu's organization, she gained a fundamental understanding of this world and learned many of its secrets.

Only those who enter the realm of the extraordinary can be considered among the strong, and the strong in the realm of the extraordinary are generally divided into several types.

First, there are the powerful individuals who inherit the power of their bloodline. These individuals have inherited a powerful bloodline from ancient times, and they only need to guide the power of their bloodline to become powerful beings.

The Royal Knights of the British Empire are a prime example, and the Holy Reconciliation of the Royal Knights has brought some trouble to Miyazaki Yu.

Moreover, it should be noted that as time goes by, the sacred bloodline is becoming increasingly diluted, and the number of people who can become official knights has greatly decreased compared to the glorious past. Therefore, when they fought against Miyazaki Yu, they were not at their peak strength.

Then there are those with superpowers. These people, through a genetic mutation with an extremely low probability, have gained immense power.

Thor, who wields the power of lightning; swamps, who possess the ability to alter the soil; and vines, who control the transformation of plants—these are all representative examples.

However, their problem is that this kind of mutation is like winning the lottery; it cannot be identified in advance or artificially created before the mutation occurs.

This is because it involves the deepest changes in genes, like God's trump card, a realm that humanity cannot currently reach.

For now, humanity can only look up to them, not truly create; we can only wait for the dice to be rolled by heaven, so that this fortune may fall upon us.

So even in the United States, after years of accumulation, there are only a few dozen superhumans. Moreover, these superhumans vary in strength, with the strongest being those who dealt with Miyazaki Yu.

Now almost all of them are dead, which is causing the American government immense pain.

The last category consists of those who, through cultivation, elevate their strength to the extraordinary realm. These individuals are exceptionally talented, possessing innate aptitude combined with diligent effort, which leads to their formidable power.

However, this is only a general classification based on the means of acquiring power.

If we categorize them by the form of power, they can be divided into two types: physical power and mental power.

Whether it's the Royal Knights, the bio-warriors, or even most superhumans, they can all be categorized into this category.

Pure mental ability users are extremely rare. Apart from the Holy See and some ancient and mysterious sects in the Dragon Kingdom, mental ability users who can appear without relying on ancient rituals and secret inheritances are practically nonexistent.

Before Miyazaki Yu, he had slaughtered all the cardinals of the Holy See, as well as some hidden black-robed bishops and black priests, causing the Holy See to suffer a direct shortage of combat power.

Changes are happening all over Europe, but that's another story.

In other words, pure mental ability users are not only extremely powerful, but also extremely rare, and their mental attack methods are unpredictable.

Whether it's illusion magic, creating illusions, direct mental attacks, or even using mental manipulation to attack objects, they are all formidable and difficult to deal with.

Like a spider, his level is only equivalent to Hunter, who has the weakest mental strength in the hall at this moment, or even worse.

But it is precisely because of this kind of spiritual power that he has become a world-renowned and terrifying existence, making many people tremble with fear!

Just as Miyano Akemi was feeling shocked and happy, she suddenly heard everyone exclaim in surprise. She saw that Miyano Shiho's palm lit up slightly, and the water glass on the table slowly flew up and landed in Miyano Shiho's hand.

"Mind control over objects!"

Akemi Miyano uttered a few words, her eyes filled with shock.

Chapter 658 A Frenzied Charge (3rd Update!)

After the initial shock came great joy.
