Psychic Power, Breakthrough!

In the brightly lit testing room.

Xue Zhan and Xu Qi exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

However, neither spoke to interrupt him. They merely watched Lin Ye quietly.

Lin Ye stood by the window, allowing sunlight to spill over him.

Bathed in golden light, he seemed like an exiled immortal, extraordinary in bearing... And in Xu Qi's eyes, Lin Ye's entire aura was changing.

The easygoing air he had possessed before gradually condensed... radiating a sharp, awe-inspiring presence.

Although Xu Qi did not know what transformation Lin Ye was undergoing.

A woman's intuition told her that the man before her would become very powerful.

Sensing Lin Ye's changes, Xu Qi could not help but feel a powerful sense of anticipation.

At this moment.

As Lin Ye's state of mind changed, his Psychic Power was like a blade of wild grass in the wilderness.

Neither raging winds nor torrential rain, lightning nor thunder could stop it from growing upward. Nothing could prevent it from desperately absorbing every ray of sunlight and drop of rain, much less halt its upward growth!

The power of the mind was incredibly wondrous.

If one's mental strength was powerful enough, even an ordinary person could create miracles.

In that case, even a common person could accomplish great deeds.

And as a Psychic Master... he could create even more.

"Right now, I am like that blade of grass—insignificant. Before the Beast Tide, before Hong and the Thunder God, I am incomparably weak."

Lin Ye suddenly smiled.

With one hand, he pulled open the curtains and let the sunlight shine over him. Raising his head toward the sky, he said, "A man's life is but a season, like grass and trees. I too want to climb higher and go farther! To reach the level of Hong and the Thunder God!"

"No! I will surpass the Thunder God and Hong and become even stronger!"

"His mental strength is growing stronger!"

Xue Zhan stared intently at Lin Ye and said softly, "A man without words carries no weight; a man without a soul cannot stand. What makes a person human is not an eight-foot body, but the spirit within him!"

"Napoleon was only five feet two inches tall, yet he rode across battlefields with his sword pointed at the world, becoming a great man of his generation."

"Lin Ye is clever and intelligent, and his talent is so exceptional. After this transformation, his future will surely be boundless. It is not impossible that he may one day stand alongside Hong and the Thunder God."

"..." Xu Qi looked at the silver-haired middle-aged man in surprise, her eyes filled with confusion.

Did he truly think so highly of Lin Ye?

"Don't forget, he isn't even eighteen yet!"

"From becoming a Martial Artist until now, it has not even been a full year, yet he has already achieved so much... What if he is given another three to five years? Ten years? Eight years?"

"..." Xu Qi raised her head to look at Lin Ye. Light shone in her beautiful eyes, and joy gradually welled up within her.

If that truly happened, then Lin Ye would be a great blessing to Shan City and Great Xia.

By the floor-to-ceiling window, Lin Ye felt something stir within him.

The sensation of enlightenment was wonderfully profound.

Bzzzz!

As if responding to his thoughts.

The Blood-Colored Giant Tower at the core of his Sea of Consciousness trembled slightly, unexpectedly emitting a resonant bzzzz.

Focusing inward, Lin Ye discovered that faint radiance flowed over the tower's crimson body, while its blood-red color steadily deepened.

At the same time, an unprecedentedly immense pulling force erupted from the Blood-Colored Giant Tower.

It passed through his Sea of Consciousness and surged out of his body.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In an instant, Lin Ye seemed to transform into the center of a vortex, drawing the cosmic energy around him rapidly toward the five points of his palms, soles, and Baihui acupoint.

At this moment, he could clearly sense threads of cosmic energy continuously seeping in from the outside world.

In the end, all of it was absorbed by the Blood-Colored Giant Tower and transformed into Psychic Power.

Gradually, the color of the tower grew deeper and deeper...

At the same time, the Blood-Colored Giant Tower continuously released streams of Psychic Power into the Sea of Consciousness.

Lin Ye felt his consciousness become incredibly comfortable, and he could not help closing his eyes.

Time passed bit by bit.

Lin Ye remained bathed in sunlight, calm and peaceful, allowing his Psychic Power to grow.

Beside him, Xue Zhan and Xu Qi quietly watched Lin Ye without disturbing him in the slightest.

However, the former could clearly sense that the cosmic energy around them seemed somewhat unusual.

But he couldn't put his finger on what was wrong.

And so, ten minutes passed.

Only when the Blood-Colored Giant Tower in his Sea of Consciousness was fully satisfied did the absorption of cosmic energy finally cease.

At that moment, Lin Ye could clearly feel that his Psychic Power had improved noticeably once more.

"Display my status panel!"

[Name: Lin Ye (High-tier War General)]

[Attribute Points: 75]

[Movement Technique: Perfect Level (Proficiency 5/100)]

[Strength: 35710 kg]

[Speed: 207.6 m/s]

[...]

"Under this enlightenment, my Psychic Power has indeed improved tremendously. My current Psychic Power is equivalent to that of an Intermediate War God!"

Lin Ye smiled in satisfaction. He was extremely pleased with this improvement.

As for the several dozen additional Attribute Points, they were merely a pleasant bonus.

He knew it clearly in his heart.

The most important thing about this enlightenment was that it had planted the heart of a powerhouse within him.

Unafraid of hardship, he would bravely scale the highest peaks!

When he looked back at the test results on the Big Screen, the smile on Lin Ye's lips had turned into calm yet powerful confidence—

But this was still far from enough!

After a long while.

Only then did Lin Ye close the curtains and stride over with great strides, like a king standing high above all others.

Suddenly, Lin Ye noticed Xu Qi and the other staring blankly at him.

"Hm? What's wrong with you two?" Lin Ye raised an eyebrow slightly, noticing that both of them were looking at him with faces full of expectation.

Like elders anticipating the future of a younger generation.

Xue Zhan walked up to Lin Ye, gently patted him on the shoulder, and said, "No matter what, you're already far stronger than I am now—but you must never be satisfied with this, because the road ahead of you is still very long."

"Forget Mountain City. The other seven major cities of Great Xia are all facing the grave threat of Beast Tides. The road ahead is long and fraught with difficulties!"

"I know!" Lin Ye glanced at Xu Qi before turning his gaze to Xue Zhan and nodding heavily.

Unparalleled determination flickered in his eyes, prompting the same thought in both of them—this boy was destined for greatness!!

"Right. New York City being gone is a problem for America to worry about. What we need to focus on now is ourselves!"

Lin Ye said with a smile, an involuntary hint of delight appearing on his face.

"We were suddenly interrupted just now. We can continue now." Xu Qi nodded as well.

Xue Zhan said nothing, but his gaze said it all.

They were not the sort to wallow in sorrow.

In times like these, they knew how to quickly adjust their emotions and regain their composure.

Besides, it was New York, thousands of miles away, that had encountered a Beast Tide.

It was not some city in Great Xia that had suffered disaster, so there was no need for them to worry excessively.

Very quickly, the attention in the testing room returned to Lin Ye...
