Mu Qingyun raised a Paper Hammer, and under his incantation, the Paper Hammer transformed into a Great Hammer that could follow his commands. However, due to Mu Qingyun's limited cultivation, the Great Hammer moved slowly, but its imposing presence forced Guan Yue to evade, leaving him momentarily at a loss for how to counter it.
Gradually, Mu Qingyun became more adept at controlling the Great Hammer, which increased its speed. Seeing that evasion was not a viable strategy, Guan Yue drew his Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Sword and thrust it at the Great Hammer. With a clang, he only managed to leave a mark on its surface.
Unwilling to give up, Guan Yue infused his sword with Five Elements Will and attacked the Great Hammer again. This time, he succeeded in piercing a hole through it, prompting him to press the advantage and strike wildly at the Great Hammer's surface.
At this moment, Guan Yue was also learning to split the Nine Pulse Will for use. When he employed the Seven Elemental Will, the Great Hammer shattered like tofu under his sword.
After using his final move and still being countered by Guan Yue, Mu Qingyun quickly conceded defeat. However, he remained puzzled as to why Guan Yue had initially struggled against the Great Hammer but later managed to slice through it.
From this battle, Guan Yue's greatest gain was mastering the split application of Nine Pulse Will. He even considered splitting a single Willpower to counter his opponents' techniques.
Upon returning to his dormitory, Guan Yue immediately began refining his techniques. After a challenging process, he proved that during his battle with Mu Qingyun, he could have avoided using Peak Fire Sprite and instead raised his body temperature to match the environment using Fire Willpower. Simultaneously, he could expel Water's Will from his body to form a layer of low-temperature protection against Mu Qingyun's icy attacks.
Guan Yue also contemplated whether he could attack opponents with separate Nine Pulse Wills or combine them for an assault. If successful, it would be akin to wielding dozens of spells!
Thus, after ten days of research on this issue, Guan Yue finally made some progress. He could now split Five Elements Will for attacking opponents; however, manipulating Wind Thunder and Sun Moon Willpower remained difficult for him. Aware that his cultivation level was too low, he ceased further refinement and challenged Yin Fu, ranked fourth in the Tiger Lion Ranking.
He did not intentionally avoid Ouyang Shaohua, who was ranked fifth; rather, he sought out Yin Fu because he was a Mind Master. Guan Yue had no intention of climbing the ranks one by one. He wanted to battle a Mind Master to observe their combat characteristics.
Ouyang Shaohua also arrived to watch the match; she was curious about how far Guan Yue could go. She understood his intention: to gain combat experience by facing both mages and Mind Masters. In just a few months at Qilin Academy, he had already achieved a top-six position in the Tiger Lion Ranking. If he won today, he would surpass her ranking; however, Ouyang Shaohua felt no jealousy—she was genuinely happy for him. What pleased her even more was seeing Guan Yue grow taller day by day until he was nearly the same height as his classmates—clearly indicating that he had been malnourished before.
Yin Fu was a genius Mind Master known among freshmen for his magical prowess. He frequently created strange phenomena that left his classmates baffled by their principles. As a result, many held blind trust in him. He had numerous followers; naturally, Lei Dazhuang and the Huangfu Sisters were among Guan Yue's supporters as well. Although Ouyang Shaohua did not openly cheer for Guan Yue, seeing her in the audience warmed his heart.
Yin Fu had heard about Guan Yue's impressive performance in the Illusory Array and recognized his strong Mental Strength. Consequently, he put in considerable effort devising a series of techniques specifically designed to counter Guan Yue and was determined to halt his rise in the Tiger Lion Ranking—at least preventing him from surpassing himself!
Both participants entered the Arena with high spirits. The audience had gathered around them—dozens of fans supporting both sides. Generally speaking, few people paid attention to ordinary matches since they were approaching mid-term assessments; nearly every day saw over ten pairs of opponents battling here as they sought opportunities to hone their tactics before their exams. Only Ruo Yi came specifically to assess Guan Yue's situation.
Guan Yue and Yin Fu exchanged respectful gestures before the Host Teacher called for the match to officially begin.
Guan Yue continued to use his boxing techniques. He had already mastered the first four forms of the Li Zu Divine Fist, and using these four moves in succession was something that Yin Fu could not withstand. After a few exchanges, Yin Fu was forced to unleash the Mental Attack of the Mind Master.
First, Yin Fu employed the One-Line Flow Technique. This was the most basic skill of a Mind Master, concentrating Mental Strength into a single line to launch pinpoint attacks on the opponent. Yin Fu chose to target Guan Yue's brain.
Seeing Yin Fu initiate his Mental Attack, Guan Yue stopped his boxing and focused on countering with his own Mental Strength. The audience was stunned; both fighters stood still, leaving them wondering what was happening. After all, Yin Fu was a Mind Master, and Guan Yue dared to confront him with Mental Strength? They could only wait for the outcome. Meanwhile, the spectators began to argue among themselves.
"Look, that Guan Yue isn't all that impressive! As soon as Yin Fu attacked, he froze up. It seems he's going to suffer against the Mind Master."
"Exactly, Guan Yue is strong in formations and can withstand pressure well, but Mental Strength is his weak point."
"That's nonsense! Look at Guan Yue's expression; it doesn't differ much from Yin Fu's. Their Mental Strength hasn't harmed their capacity to endure yet. The real show is still to come." A student who was also a Mind Master spoke up, prompting everyone to pay attention to Guan Yue and Yin Fu's facial expressions.
Regarding Yin Fu's One-Line Flow Mental Attack, Guan Yue was unconcerned; he was curious about what special skills Yin Fu had that could harm him.
Thus, Guan Yue also used One-Line Flow to counter Yin Fu. He deliberately controlled his strength to match the intensity of Yin Fu's attack, giving Yin Fu a bit of confidence. However, this surprised Yin Fu greatly. He did not expect Guan Yue's Mental Strength to be so powerful, nearly on par with his own. Consequently, he abandoned his gradual strengthening plan and recklessly launched a focused assault on Guan Yue!
He summoned the Divine Assistance Device, a treasure borrowed from another Mind Master. This Divine Assistance Device could increase a Mind Master's Mental Strength by about five times if used effectively. There were only a handful of such devices throughout the Southern Source Empire. Yin Fu borrowed this treasure intending to improve his ranking in the half-year assessment by several places, aiming for at least a top three finish. Now he had the perfect opportunity to use Guan Yue, this inexperienced Mind Master, as a sharpening stone.
Under the influence of the Divine Assistance Device, his Mental Strength surged by about three times, shocking Guan Yue significantly. This level of Mental Strength was something Guan Yue could not withstand immediately.
Yin Fu's reckless attack completely disrupted Guan Yue's original plan. Guan Yue had intended for him to gradually experience the combat characteristics of a Mind Master. At this moment, Guan Yue noticed the small treasure in Yin Fu's hand. It was a black crystal that shone brightly and sparkled; looking at it made one's eyes feel fatigued easily. After just a brief glance, Guan Yue found it difficult to look directly at it any longer.
Under the powerful Mental Strength attack from Yin Fu, Guan Yue felt an immense pressure and experienced severe impacts in his mind; his own outwardly projected Mental Strength diminished significantly as well. For the first time under such intense Mental Attack, Guan Yue understood the damage that powerful Mental Strength could inflict on one's mind.
However, soon after, Guan Yue sensed that his latent energy was being activated within him. Countless golden lights began to radiate outward from inside his body. His mind started to churn violently and throb with pain; he immediately felt some discomfort.
To his surprise, despite this situation, he noticed that the quantity of his Essence was rapidly increasing. Therefore, he did not rush to counterattack but instead continued to relish this painful yet joyful state.
As golden light continuously emerged from within him, Yin Fu did not realize that this phenomenon indicated the emergence of Essence because his own Essence was azure in color; thus when it appeared, it manifested as Azure Light flickering around him.
However, Ruo Yi began to have doubts. Could it be that Guan Yue's Essence was the highest grade golden yellow? Was his Essence quantity increasing now? He realized this point was very important. Because he only knew of one person in the entire Qilin Academy whose Essence was golden yellow, and that person was Lu Xiao, who ranked first in the Inner Courtyard and also first in the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking.
Yin Fu was puzzled. What kind of monster was this Guan Yue? Despite being attacked by his multiple times Mental Strength, he only showed a slight displeasure on his face; everything else seemed normal. Moreover, he could withstand the attacks while occasionally emitting golden yellow light. It seemed that even with the help of this Divine Assistance Stone, it was difficult to harm him. What should he do?
The only thing he could think of was to persist, but at the same time, he decided to use another attack method of Mind Master against Guan Yue: Will Attack. The so-called Will Attack involved using the powerful Willpower of a Mind Master to attack an opponent's mind, forcibly suppressing the opponent's Willpower in order to disrupt their thinking ability. This was an important method of attack for a Mind Master.
Thus, while utilizing the Divine Assistance Stone, Yin Fu also allocated part of his mental energy to attack Guan Yue's Dantian. He aimed to strike at his weak point.
Yin Fu's targeted Will Attack was extremely powerful; his talent was more evident in attacks. So when he targeted Guan Yue's Dantian, Guan Yue's already formed Palace Sea was unexpectedly stimulated violently, causing intense oscillations. Guan Yue himself was startled by the vibrations of his Palace Sea.
This was because the frequency of Yin Fu's attack had aligned with that of the Palace Sea. Gao Yuxin understood this principle and immediately began to make adjustments. However, at the same time that Guan Yue felt the oscillation in his Palace Sea, he also sensed a heating and vibrating sensation in his mind, along with a vague feeling of expansion.
He quickly instructed Gao Yuxin, "Don't rush to deal with the attack; first see what changes are happening in my mind."
"Brother Guan, there is actually a Blood Sea appearing in your mind! But it's not very large." Gao Yuxin's voice sounded high-pitched and sharp with surprise!
The appearance of a Blood Sea? Wasn't that a sign of reaching a certain realm? That situation would only occur after five hundred drops of Essence appeared! The emergence of the Palace Sea indicated Attainment! Why were all these things mixed up in my case?
Guan Yue suddenly had a flash of insight: "Could it be that my Essence quantity has already reached five hundred drops?"
"Gao Yuxin, can you check how many drops of my Essence I have now?"
