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

Chapter 662 Battle Test

On the morning of the third day, a gentle breeze rustled the verdant grass, causing the glistening dewdrops on the tips of the leaves to fall.

However, through the reflection on the dewdrop, one could see ten figures standing on the grass, surrounding one other figure.

At this moment, everyone was in a fighting stance, each person tense to the extreme.

Compared to a few days ago, each of them exuded a powerful aura, like raging flames or raging waves. Their formidable pressure resonated with each other, making even the grass and leaves on the ground feel somewhat disoriented.

Such a powerful aura can only be felt from the top experts of various countries; it is absolutely impossible to see it under normal circumstances.

But at this moment, ten people suddenly appeared, and all ten of them enveloped one person with their aura. Just this aura alone, with ten layers of force combined, should have crushed even the finest steel.

It is evident that the mere clash of energies and the overwhelming pressure of auras are already incredibly terrifying and frightening.

But at this moment, the person in the middle, whose aura was superimposed by ten layers of pressure, was strolling around as if in a leisurely garden, with a faint smile on his face, gently looking around at everyone.

It's like a commander admiring the soldiers he has trained.

If it were anyone else, of course they wouldn't be qualified to do this, but he is different because these ten powerful individuals were indeed trained by him. This person is naturally Miyazaki Yu.

The ten people surrounding him at this moment were, of course, the group led by Vermouth.

They have now had some of their meridians opened up, guiding out the innate energy of their internal organs, and have directly reached the state of an innate true person in terms of their physical body.

With their innate true energy, combined with their spiritual power and techniques, their combat abilities have been greatly enhanced, making them among the most outstanding extraordinary experts. In fact, the strongest among them are already among the top in the world.

However, when facing Miyazaki Yu, he did not feel the gap narrowing at all, as if his rapid progress in recent days was just an illusion.

This is not their illusion, but a form of psychological suppression.

It's like a mouse facing a tiger. Even if the mouse's strength increases tenfold, the balance of power between the two doesn't fundamentally change.

The gap between them and Miyazaki Yu is so huge, even greater than the gap between a mouse and a tiger.

Therefore, the invisible suppression made everyone feel tremendous pressure.

However, this was a battle test demanded by Miyazaki Yu. Their continuous use of cheat codes gave them immense power, but this great power could also make them arrogant and lose themselves.

Therefore, they need to fight a true powerhouse once, so that they can personally experience the gap between themselves and the true powerhouse!

"Begin. Each of you must give it your all. You may use any means of attack you like. I will not draw my sword, nor will I use sword energy or any related abilities. I will only use my right hand. Do not disappoint me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone launched an attack!

One of the figures was now clad in strange armor, the patterns on which shimmered with an eerie luster, like an electrified circuit board.

His figure seemed to have lost its weight; to onlookers, he appeared as an arrow released from a bow, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

With a loud thud, Vermouth, now fully armored, reappeared. Her fist, covered with a menacing, spiked gauntlet, was grasped by a hand, instantly neutralizing the powerful attack!

Before Vermouth could react, Miyazaki Yu lightly touched the ground with his toes, maintaining his entire body position, and directly pressed against Vermouth as he moved forward. Dozens of slender needles flashed past from the side in an instant, which was the attack of Miyano Shiho, who had mastered the ability to manipulate objects.

However, it is clear that all of these flying needles have landed in empty spaces!

Immediately afterward, the attacks from the others came in full force. Several sword blades came from different directions, all of them cunning and sharp, completely blocking Miyazaki Yu's retreat!

At this moment, Miyazaki Yu smiled slightly, then crossed his wrists and directly grabbed the wrist with sharp spikes. A huge force came, and Vermouth was pulled by an elephant. Her body flew backward. Miyazaki Yu actually used Vermouth as a weapon and swung her around fiercely!

This attack was swift and terrifying, and Vermouth was also wearing indestructible armor. This strange weapon instantly blocked all the incoming swords and blades.

He then floated out lightly, his figure skimming the ground. Two more sword attacks missed their mark. He seemed to be strolling leisurely, or like a flying saucer unaffected by force, instantly bypassing all the attacks.

At this moment, he kicked out again with a graceful ease. This kick seemed to be done casually, yet it also seemed to be carefully calculated. With a tap of his toes, he had already deflected Kevin Yoshino's sword. His toes then landed gracefully, landing lightly on Kevin's chest.

However, this seemingly light blow sent Kevin Yoshino flying backward at three times the speed he had when he charged forward, a speed comparable to that of a cannonball.

With a loud bang, he crashed into the wall, blasting a large hole in it, and then passed out.

Without even looking behind him, Miyazaki Yu swung his right hand again, and Vermouth, inside her armor, was once again swung around like a windmill. Several sword blades struck her body, but the armor deflected them all. Then he released his grip and pressed down on Vermouth's shoulder.

Like Kevin Yoshino, Vermouth was blasted away like a cannonball, her body colliding violently with Tadokoro Toshiya and Hunter, who had just rushed up.

In an instant, the three collided like meteors, and the violent impact spread throughout their bodies. Even Vermouth, who was protected by armor, felt dizzy and disoriented.

But that wasn't all. This scene left everyone wide-eyed, but in the heat of battle, there was no time for surprise.

The rest of the people noticed a problem: where did Miyazaki Yu go?

Vermouth's sudden flight immediately drew everyone's attention, but in the brief moment of surprise, Miyazaki Yu disappeared from sight, making everyone even more tense.

However, they immediately stopped being nervous, because Miyazaki Yu appeared, standing beneath Vermouth's body.

Just now, after he pressed Vermouth and launched her like a cannonball, he immediately shrank back and lightly hid under Vermouth's body, using her body to conceal his own figure!

At this moment, his targets were Maeda Satoshi and Sayama Akiko, who were closest to him!

His body flew out smoothly, like a flying coffin. With a light flick of his feet, just like when he dealt with Kevin Yoshino, he blocked the two men's swords. Then, with a twist of his ankles, he wrapped his arms around the other man's wrist like a serpent.

He then exerted force with both legs, and a terrifying power that Pei Mo could not withstand came, causing both of them to be flung away. Then, in mid-air, he made a move that defied common sense, as if inertia had lost its effect on him.

His body rose suddenly in the air like a giant bird, and dozens of flying needles flew past his head. Miyazaki Yu reached out and snatched the flying needles, then threw them out at any time.

A crisp clanging sound rang out in the air. After landing, he pointed backward with his hand, blocking a sword's edge. Asai Makoto, who was holding the sword, widened his eyes, for what had blocked his sword was merely a long needle!

Chapter 663 Utter Defeat and Mental Impact

The fine needle tip blocked the edge of the longsword!

A head-on confrontation truly occurred under these circumstances!

He was clearly looking away from his body, not with his eyes, but with his mental perception. However, perception is different from seeing with the naked eye. The naked eye can see every detail, while perception can only detect a general outline.

Otherwise, wouldn't mental power be able to directly replace the eyes?

But then it occurred to me that the other party could not only replace eyes, but far surpass ordinary eyes, not only revealing every detail, but also possessing super dynamic effects.

It can be said that although his dynamic perception is not as good as the dynamic capture of his own eyes, this difference is not something that his ability can detect.

He continued his charge with all his might, the thin needle gradually bending. But the needle possessed an unruly, taut force that prevented the sword in his hand from advancing!

Just then, the force of his sudden advance abruptly dissipated, and before he could react, a hand had already gently pressed down on his waist.

Suddenly, his whole body trembled violently, and he flew backwards into the distance. At this moment, Miyano Akemi and Sayuri, who were attacking, dodged Asai Makoto like cats. Their longswords transformed into snakes, and they launched attacks from above and below.

Their attacks were relentless and continuous. Having spent the most time at the research base, they were perfectly coordinated. Moreover, they knew that no matter how they attacked, it would be ineffective. As a result, they went all out and fully demonstrated the effects of their training.

At this moment, those who had been knocked down were unable to stand up immediately and could only watch, only to witness an even more horrifying scene.

Amidst the intertwining sword strikes of the two, he placed his hands behind his back and with a slight movement, perfectly dodged all the attacks. His toes lightly touched the ground as he moved with divine speed, as if all the sword blades would naturally avoid him after encountering him!

He even used his toes to touch the opponent's sword blade the moment the opponent made a move, leaping between the two swords. No matter how the two thrust, parry, or slashed, it was as if they were using a giant sword to stab a slender mosquito.

It had absolutely no effect. Miyazaki Yu felt as if he had no weight, leaping between the blades, displaying all sorts of amazing moves and techniques.

At that moment, Shiho Miyano finally joined the battle. While controlling her longsword to attack, she also once again rode her flying needles, circling around Miyazaki Hayao to attack.

Miyazaki Yu chuckled. He had held back just now so that everyone could see something. If he continued to go easy on her, Bayonetta would be unhappy. He hadn't held back when he attacked her earlier.

With a flick of his wrist, the fine needle held between his two fingers trembled, and the tip of the needle began to shake violently, much like the effect of inserting a ruler into the crack of a table and then forcefully wiggling it.

Then, with a reverse horizontal flick, the needle is released with a series of shakes, just like using chopsticks to pick up a fried dough stick from a frying pan, easily separating it.

A tremor ran through his arm, and in an instant, all three attacks were extinguished, and the weapons in his hands almost slipped out of his grasp!

Then Miyazaki Yu continued to extend his right hand, and suddenly punched the ground with one hand. The ground shook violently, and the intense tremor was immediately transmitted to his body.

The three of them were instantly thrown into a state of shock, as if they had been held by a violently shaking railway track for hours. Their bodies trembled so badly that they could not move. The next moment, Miyazaki Yu arrived at their side and gently pressed down on each of them. Just like the people before them, all three of them were sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Whoohoo-"

The three of them struggled to their feet, panting heavily.

The entire battle lasted less than a minute, but the three of them, as well as everyone else, were all drenched in sweat.

"That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying!"

This is the common feeling of everyone at this moment!

Their continuous and significant increase in strength also greatly boosted their confidence. When they learned that Miyazaki Yu wanted all ten of them to fight him together, they knew in their hearts that there was no chance of winning.

But deep down, isn't there a sense of anticipation?

Having power, one wants to unleash and utilize it.

They are all different now; their speed, strength, and combat skills have all improved significantly. And with ten of them working together, a sense of luck also arose in their hearts.

Even though Miyazaki Yu is as powerful as a god, he also has many limitations on himself. He does not use weapons, sword energy, or telekinesis.

In other words, he simply used his physical strength to deal with all of their attacks.

But once the battle begins, everyone is as fragile as toilet paper; a gentle tear and they're reduced to shreds.

The battle just now appeared to be a contest of strength, but in reality, whether it was Vermouth or the others, they all used mental energy to attack from the very beginning.

The so-called mental shock is like Aurelion Sol, spreading out mental energy like a tide to attack the target.

This was something they had agreed upon. Miyazaki Yu had given them time in advance to discuss tactics, wanting to see just how much combat power they could unleash when they were prepared.

Therefore, the battle on the surface is a clash of powerful forces and a collision of techniques.

But in reality, the mental impact had already begun in the very first instant!

However, despair also arrived at the same time.

I originally thought that even if it couldn't play a decisive role, it could at least restrain the opponent a little. But whether it was the initial energy lock or the subsequent mental attack, it was all a shock.

Miyazaki Yu's spirit is as solid as a rock, completely unshakable.

Their spiritual energy, when it landed on the mountain, was like a weak current of water, barely causing a ripple as it crashed against the towering peaks.

Moreover, mental shock is not a conventional technique of mental attack; it carries enormous risks. First, it consumes a huge amount of energy. In the past, Aurelion Sol only used this technique in desperate situations, and the result was that he suffered great losses.

Moreover, this move is equivalent to completely dispersing one's spirit, which is like opening a drain gate. Although the water gushes out all at once, it also creates an opening that can enter the brain.

Therefore, this move can only be used by those with superior mental strength against those with inferior mental strength. In other words, it can only be used to deal with those whose mental strength is inferior to yours.

If the opponent's mental strength surpasses yours, using this move is suicide!

Therefore, psychological impact is actually a double-edged sword.

However, they all knew that Miyazaki Yu would not use mental power to retaliate, so they came up with this move: ten people working together to use a mental shock. Because as long as one has mental power, regardless of the degree, one can use this move, and there is no technical difficulty involved.

While it may seem like cheating, this tactic is undoubtedly the most cost-effective when it's clear there's no chance of retaliation.
