Lu Jun felt an overwhelming pressure descend upon him, leaving his mind buzzing.
Although it wasn't an attack, the effect wasn't sharp pain but a dizzy sensation, as if a mountain were pressing down on him.
Bang! Bang! Bang! A series of loud sounds erupted as one transparent crystal wall after another in his spiritual world was rcilessly crushed. A colossal force rampaged through his mind like a bulldozer.
Despite this, Lu Jun gritted his teeth and resisted the pressure. He barely managed to control his stars and continuously released low-tier Psychic Walls. The mont one transparent wall shattered, a new one would imdiately form, endlessly regenerating in an unbroken cycle.
anwhile, Ding Yumian's spiritual intent flowed steadily, maintaining a consistent level. In addition to the ntal impact, she subtly incorporated psychological seduction and emotional manipulation.
Over the past few months, with Lu Jun acting as her practice dummy, she had also benefited greatly. Her mastery over her psychic abilities had improved significantly, making her ntal intrusions seamless and nearly impossible to guard against.
To put it simply, their ntal duels were at a high level, sothing an average mid-tier Psychic Mage couldn't even comprehend.
The two opposing spiritual intents clashed like two armies, engaging in fierce combat. One side attacked while the other defended.
Lu Jun fortified his ntal defenses, calmly allocating his resources. Occasionally, he even sacrificed certain "positions" to lure in the "enemy forces." When these forces invaded those positions, they would be struck by explosive counterattacks, leaving them in disarray.
On the other side, Ding Yumian's face flushed with embarrassnt as she glared at Lu Jun. Those "positions" turned out to be useless mories—previously disguised as nightmare curses that had failed to affect her. Now, they had been replaced with endless amounts of obscene and absurd nonsense.
Seeing Lu Jun's expressionless face as he executed this tactic, Ding Yumian fud. How could soone be so shaless and thick-skinned?
Moreover, how did he manage to produce such a limitless and varied stockpile of "content" without any repeats?
"Teacher Ding," Lu Jun noticed her emotional reaction and said seriously, "didn't you teach that a Psychic Mage must attack a person's weaknesses? Well, this just happens to be yours."
After saying that, he couldn't help but smirk. He hadn't expected to et soone with such a pure mind.
In his experience, even his sister and the won he knew were more corrupt than many n, despite their outward appearances of propriety.
Perhaps Ding Yumian's sheltered upbringing had preserved her innocence. This might also explain why she lost control during the beast tournant after being slightly provoked.
Ding Yumian huffed angrily but gradually adapted to the tactic. She no longer panicked as she had during the first encounter. Though still blushing, she faced it calmly and even unwillingly learned a variety of bizarre and peculiar knowledge.
Sotis, she wondered if she had been corrupted, blaming Lu Jun for leading her astray.
When Ding Yumian finally breached layer after layer of Psychic Walls, the path ahead beca clear, devoid of obstructions. She withdrew her spiritual intent like a receding tide, retreating into her mind without intruding into his mories or secrets.
"It's your turn now."
"Alright, I'm coming in. Be ready."
On the other side, Lu Jun nodded, took a mont to recover his mana, and then controlled his stars. A low-tier Psychic Strike condensed into a spiritual sword, which pierced through Ding Yumian's ntal defenses smoothly.
After months of training, his spiritual sword had beco flexible and highly refined, incomparable to the crude state it had been in when it took him days to condense one.
However, he found the process oddly smooth.
Soon after, his consciousness seed to enter a mysterious realm. He "saw" a vast, boundless ntal lake. At its center stood a grand and intricately designed palace, perched on the water's surface. Its structure was transparent and crystalline, resembling a dragon's palace made of glass.
The tranquil lake mirrored the palace perfectly, its reflection forming an upside-down counterpart. Together, they rged into one.
Seeing this, Lu Jun was dumbfounded. A spiritual sword, like a wandering dragon, circled around, unable to find an entry point.
Gritting his teeth, he decided to force his way in. A streak of sword light slashed at the palace's gate, prying it open after a long effort.
Stepping inside, he barely had ti to celebrate before finding himself in a spacious corridor stretching into darkness. Rows of doors lined both sides, densely packed and leading deeper into the palace.
Moreover, even if he managed to open one of the doors, it would only lead to another endless corridor. The rooms constantly shifted, forming an ever-changing labyrinth.
The external defenses of the palace were manageable, but its interior was a ntal maze designed to trap intruders for eternity.
"This is impossible!" Lu Jun admitted defeat imdiately. As the palace gates reopened, his spiritual intent retreated to his body.
Opening his eyes, he exclaid in shock, "You... you actually created a ntal labyrinth!"
Ding Yumian smiled faintly and nodded.
"Wait a second," Lu Jun's expression shifted. "You've advanced to the Advanced Tier, haven't you?"
Ding Yumian replied nonchalantly, "Yes, I broke through a few days ago. My spiritual Realm is still at the sixth level, though, just short of a higher realm."
It dawned on Lu Jun why her ntal world had expanded so much, allowing for the construction of such a massive and intricate ntal palace.
Only an Advanced Psychic Mage could achieve this level of control.
"Nineteen years old and already Advanced Tier..." Lu Jun's feelings were complicated. But on second thought, it made sense for soone with Ding Yumian's circumstances. After all, Qin Yu'er reached the Advanced Tier at just seventeen. Compared to that, this progress seed slower.
In the original tiline, Ding Yumian's advancent speed wasn't explicitly ntioned. However, judging from the power of her vengeful soul after death, she likely reached the Super Tier at around twenty-six.
At her current pace, she would surpass that tiline.
Before eting Lu Jun, Ding Yumian had been plagued by "ntal exhaustion"—literally, as her multiple soul fragnts conflicted with one another, preventing her from focusing on a single goal.
This highlighted the importance of setting a clear objective.
Of course, having the talent of a "Calamity Mage" ca with trade-offs. For instance, one elent's extraordinary growth often suppressed others. Mu Ningxue's Summoning Elent stagnated, and Qin Yu'er only developed her Ice Elent.
Ding Yumian's case was slightly better. She cleverly split her soul fragnts, with each fragnt mastering a single elent. Currently, her Fire Elent was controlled by her vengeful soul.
Moreover, her ntal palace had a dual structure. The reflection beneath the lake represented another soul fragnt. Even if one labyrinth was destroyed, another would remain. It might take a Super Mage to unravel it fully.
For now, Lu Jun had no chance of succeeding and could only endure repeated defeats.
Noticing the sparkle in Lu Jun's eyes, Ding Yumian smiled and asked, "You want to learn?"
"Coach, I want to learn!" he nodded eagerly. If he could master such a technique, his Psychic Elent would reach perfection. A ntal labyrinth could protect his spiritual world and, in the future, trap entire cities.
"Forget it." Ding Yumian suddenly changed her tone and teased, "You can't learn it."
Lu Jun was montarily stunned. She had indeed changed a lot during this ti. Refusing to give up, he begged pitifully, "Please, big sister! I was wrong before. Be generous and forgive your little brother for his mistakes."
Ding Yumian replied seriously, "The ntal palace you described requires imnse spiritual power and precise control. The key lies in the talent of a Calamity Mage, with multiple soul fragnts."
Hearing this, Lu Jun was struck by inspiration. "I may lack the talent, but perhaps I can use magical skills to compensate."
