Jerry in Superman State

Why activate the "Mind Refresh" function before a fight?

That was because, after repeated experiments, Jerry discovered that the "Mind Refresh" function actually stimulated his brain's potential for a short time, putting it into a highly active state.

Since this state could be used to speed up the learning of magical knowledge, it could naturally also be used in battle.

When used for studying, it could greatly improve his comprehension, memory, and analytical abilities. When used in battle, the highly enhanced brain could unlock the body's restraints and set it free.

Jerry called this state of using the brain to free the body "Superman Form"!

In his previous life, he had watched a movie called Lucy, in which the female lead's body and brain were developed beyond their limits because of a drug.

In the end, she became an omniscient, omnipotent existence like a god.

Jerry's Superman State was naturally nowhere near that exaggerated, but it could still allow his body, under his brain's control, to be freed to nearly one hundred percent.

As everyone knew, an ordinary untrained person found it difficult to coordinate their muscles and bring their physical strength to its fullest potential.

But martial artists who had trained for years could use subtle control over their muscles to unleash far greater power from the same body.

Jerry's current Superman State was like transforming from an amateur martial arts enthusiast into a grandmaster-level martial artist in an instant.

It was still the same body, but in Superman State, both his strength and speed were far greater than normal.

Combined with a high-end brain, his five senses were enhanced as well. Together, they could raise his combat ability by several levels.

However, this state was not without side effects, and the longer it was maintained, the greater those side effects became.

First was his brain. After stopping the "Mind Refresh" function, his brain would become extremely sluggish from overtaxing its potential, and he would especially want to sleep.

If he used it for too long and overtaxed himself too severely, he might even fall directly into a deep sleep, just like the last time he had read continuously for four hours.

And if, after activating "Mind Refresh," he used his enhanced brain to enter Superman State and perform movements beyond normal limits, his muscles would become abnormally sore afterward and require a period of rest to recover.

If he overused it, he guessed he might even suffer widespread muscle strains afterward.

So when activating Superman Form, he either had to end the fight as quickly as possible, or make sure he would be in a completely safe environment when it ended.

Otherwise, it would be dangerous.

"Smoke Screen!"

He raised his wand and pointed it at the four men counting money. A flash of magic shot out, and the center of the Warehouse was immediately shrouded in smoke.

"Smoke bomb? Damn it, the cops found us!"

When smoke suddenly rose around him, Smith, the leader of the robbers, immediately assumed the police had found their location.

He hurriedly ordered his men to grab the rifles beside them and fire toward the Warehouse doors and windows while retreating farther inside.

At the same time, Jerry pushed off with both legs and charged toward the four robbers inside the smoke like a cheetah.

In Superman State, Jerry was incredibly fast, comparable to world-class sprinters. In less than three seconds, he crossed nearly twenty meters and arrived before the first robber in the smoke.

This robber was none other than the burly man who had gotten off the school bus earlier to kick his butt.

A gentleman takes ten years to avenge himself; a petty man takes revenge morning and night!

Clearly, Jerry was not a gentleman.

He leaped up, and the dagger in his hand slashed viciously across the burly man's throat.

"Slice!"

Blood sprayed out. The burly man instinctively clutched his neck and tried to gasp for air, only to find that his once-strong body had already become weak and powerless from blood loss.

Perhaps sensing the commotion behind them, the other three robbers turned around at the same time, guns in hand.

"Spongify!"

Raising the wand in his left hand, Jerry cast a Softening Charm on the rifle of the robber farthest from him.

Actually, a Transfiguration Charm would have been better at this moment, but with his current level of magic, he could transform a small dagger at most. Transforming an entire rifle would most likely fail.

But as long as the Softening Charm softened the rifle barrel, the rifle would be unable to fire properly.

"Off you go."

As he cast the Softening Charm, his right hand did not remain idle. He directly threw the dagger in his hand toward the robber closest to him.

In Superman State, the dagger he threw was both fast and accurate, comparable to the hidden weapon masters in movies.

"Aah!"

With a scream, the dagger plunged precisely into the robber's right eye socket and deep into his brain.

At that moment, Jerry's sixth sense began warning him frantically.

The robber leader at a moderate distance from him had already raised his rifle and aimed it at Jerry's head.

His legs exploded into motion. With a sliding step backward, taking advantage of his small stature, he narrowly retreated behind the first burly man he had killed, who had not yet fallen, just as the robber leader fired his first bullet.

"Full Speed Repulsion!"

Jerry aimed the wand in his left hand at the first burly man's back. Drawing on his years of experience playing Angry Birds in his previous life, along with the calibration of his supercharged brain, he unleashed all his magic in a Knockback Charm.

The magical light struck the first burly man's back through the wand. With blood continuing to spray from his neck, the man instantly became a giant red bird and slammed viciously into the robber leader.

What did it feel like to be struck midair by a burly man weighing nearly two hundred pounds? Smith experienced it for the first time. The result was that he was smashed to the ground, hit his head, suffered severe injuries, and passed out.

Putting away his wand, Jerry said nothing and sprinted at full speed toward the robber farthest from him.

That Knockback Charm had nearly drained all of his limited magic. He could only fight the last robber head-on at close range.

Meanwhile, the last robber was still completely dumbfounded.

What the hell was going on?

First came the smoke bomb. After firing a barrage and finding no police, one of his brothers behind him had his throat slit by a little guy.

Just as he was about to shoot the vague figure in the smoke, his rifle had suddenly gone limp like a noodle. It was practically supernatural!

By the time he came to his senses, another brother had been stabbed in the eye, the boss had been knocked to the ground, and the little guy in the smoke was charging straight at him.

When he got close enough to see clearly, it was actually that brown-haired little boy they had taken off the school bus!
