Defy Heaven and Slay Gods, Only I Am Supreme!
Dai Huabin straightened up, waiting for him to continue.
Sure enough, Mu En changed the subject.
"But your belief is not strong enough."
"Belief?"
Mu En explained:
"Integrating mental power into physical attacks is merely a matter of technique; even at its peak, it's just a means of enhancement. What truly transforms it is the conviction you infuse into it."
"Your beliefs are too scattered; they haven't coalesced into a single point. To put it simply, they're not firm enough."
Dai Huabin frowned slightly. His own beliefs?
Seeing this, Mu En continued:
"You know my self-created 'Reign Over the World.' It's not Soul Skill, but it surpasses all Soul Skill. Its core lies not in how strong one's mental power is, nor in how heavy one's physical attack is, but in the fact that the person who uses it must have something absolutely unshakable in their heart."
"If you can find this thing, solidify it, and make it persistent and resolute enough, what you unleash will no longer be an imitation of the Reign Over the World, but a combat technique unique to you."
"It won't be Reign Over the World." Mu En looked at Dai Huabin, his tone serious. "It will be yours."
Dai Huabin fell silent, displaying his unique combat skills.
It's not about imitating Mu En or copying predecessors, but something that grows from one's own beliefs.
Belief.
What are my own beliefs?
Dai Huabin closed his eyes.
From the moment he transmigrated to this world, his first thought was to survive. His second thought was to suppress Huo Yuhao.
Why suppress Huo Yuhao?
According to the original story, Huo Yuhao possesses the protagonist's halo, soaring to great heights and surrounded by a wealth of resources and opportunities.
Having taken over Dai Huabin's body, she changed the character's fate, but she also had a blood feud with Huo Yuhao for killing her mother, so she naturally had to worry about Huo Yuhao's revenge.
Therefore, after Dai Huabin traveled through time, he seized the initiative before anything happened.
What if we think about it more deeply?
Why did he do that?
Because the rule of this world is that might makes right.
Titled Douluo can wipe out an entire family, and a God King can control the fate of mortals.
I'm just a transmigrator, without a system or any cheat codes...
No, Electrolux is a bit of a cheat code, but Electrolux isn't omnipotent.
Therefore, we must become stronger.
So powerful that no person, no god, and no rule can control one's destiny.
Only in this way can we protect the people we want to protect.
Is the heavens about to crush me?
Then let's tear the sky apart.
Is God trying to control me?
Then we'll kill even the gods.
My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven.
Once this idea takes shape, it's like a seed that has taken root in the soil, instantly sprouting roots and frantically absorbing nutrients.
Dai Huabin's Spiritual Sea began to fluctuate violently.
Mu En had already closed his eyes to rest, but the sudden change made his gaze instantly fall on Dai Huabin.
Is this child trying to understand?
At this very moment, in enlightenment?
Mu En focused all his attention on Dai Huabin.
He had only intended to offer a few words of guidance, not expecting the other party to grasp it immediately. "Reign Over the World" was something he had spent many years honing; the solidification of belief requires experience and time.
How could Dai Huabin, a mere teenager, achieve enlightenment on the spot?
But the facts are right in front of us.
Dai Huabin's aura was visibly changing.
It started with a slight fluctuation in Soul Power, then spiritual power surged from between the eyebrows, and finally, blood and qi surged. The three forces collided, intertwined, and merged within the body...
Completely different from before.
The previous fusion was awkward and forced; mental energy was merely stuffed into the framework of physical attacks.
Now, a core has emerged among the three.
An extremely domineering will rose from Dai Huabin's dantian, like a pillar reaching to the sky, connecting his spiritual power, Soul Power, and blood and qi.
Mu En's pupils contracted slightly.
This is not about "Reign Over the World".
The core of "Reign Over the World" is the mindset of a king, looking down upon all living beings with an aura of authority without anger.
The will that rose from Dai Huabin did not carry the slightest hint of condescension.
That was a rebellion that broke all shackles!
I will not kneel before Heaven, nor will I accept my fate.
A full hour.
Mu En stared intently.
Dai Huabin opened his eyes.
A very thin golden light flashed in his pupils, disappearing in an instant, before returning to his normal deep blue, evil eyes.
But his overall demeanor underwent a subtle change.
It's hard to pinpoint exactly what's different, but just standing there, it makes you feel like the ground beneath the boy's feet belongs to him.
Dai Huabin raised his right hand and slowly clenched his fist.
Spiritual power, Soul Power, blood and qi, belief... all four are seamlessly integrated in this punch.
Dai Huabin spoke up:
"Defy Heaven and Slay Gods, Only I Am Supreme!"
As those eight words were uttered from his mouth, that will silently spread from his fist.
The air Sea God Pavilion suddenly froze, the teacups on the table cracked slightly, and the paintings on the wall swayed gently.
There were no spectacular light effects or earth-shattering explosions.
But Mu En clearly sensed it...
If this punch lands on someone, it will not only shatter their physical body and Soul Power, but also the most steadfast thing in that person's heart.
This is different from "Reign Over the World".
"Reign Over the World" intimidates with the aura of a king, instilling fear in opponents and deterring them from further battles.
The "Defy Heaven and Slay Gods" attack doesn't crush the opponent's courage, but rather the very foundation of their beliefs. Those whose beliefs are shattered by this punch are not "afraid to fight," but rather "don't know why they're fighting anymore."
Mu En stood there, stunned.
He has taught students for so many years and discovered countless geniuses, but he has never seen anything like it...
A young boy mastered his own combat techniques within an hour.
Mu En remained silent for a long time.
What are your beliefs?
Dai Huabin withdrew his fist, his tone very calm:
"My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven!"
Mu En looked at him, hesitant to speak.
This sentence was too simple, so simple it sounded like a child throwing a tantrum. But when it came out of Dai Huabin's mouth, Mu En sensed an unreasonable truth in it.
That's really what this kid thinks.
At the same time, deep within Dai Huabin's Spiritual Sea, in the independent space carved out by the Life Gold, a phantom figure slowly opened its eyes.
Electrolux, the Holy Necromancer who once stood at the pinnacle of necromancy, sensed the fluctuations of conviction emanating from the outside world.
He didn't speak, he just watched quietly.
Defy Heaven and Slay Gods, Only I Am Supreme.
Electrolux's phantom nodded slightly.
Then, he closed his eyes again.
Sea God Pavilion, Mu En let out a long sigh.
He walked to the table, pushed the now-cold teapot aside, took out a gourd of wine from the drawer, and took a swig.
"Alright, that's enough for today. Go back and digest this properly, don't rush to use it." Mu En paused, "This thing is newly formed and not stable yet. Rushing to put it into your Soul Skill could easily hurt you."
Dai Huabin responded, "Thank you, Mu En."
Mu En pointed to the door again. "Xiaotao is still waiting outside. Let her take you home."
Dai Huabin turned and left.
Mu En watched Dai Huabin leave, his eyes gleamed with a sharp light. He saw a destined powerhouse, someone Shrek Academy could entrust with its future.
However... the bond between Dai Huabin and Shrek Academy is still too weak.
"Sigh..." Mu En sighed.
