Pressure was the best catalyst. Under the dual pressure of a potential Soul Emperor-level assassin and the Royal Capital Competition, Lin Kun unleashed unprecedented potential.
He devoted nearly all his spare time to cultivating the Beginner Energy Guidance Insights and practicing Mental Power control. He used Insight Skill and Information Overload frequently, not to analyze the outside world, but to look inward and precisely sense every trace of movement in his own Mental Power.
Failure was the norm. His Mental Power dissipated, unstable control left his head splitting with pain, and sometimes even caused nosebleeds... But Lin Kun gritted his teeth and persevered. He knew this might be the fastest way to develop combat strength at present.
Hard work paid off. During a late-night practice session five days later, he made a breakthrough.
He immersed all his focus into his fingertips and, following the method in the "Insights," carefully compressed and guided that invisible, intangible mass of Mental Power. This time, it did not disperse as easily as before. Instead, it barely maintained an extremely unstable compressed state, condensed at the tip of his index finger.
