Lu Yuan's body shook slightly, forced back several steps by the sudden outburst of Xu Weiguo's aura.

Soon after, he felt the air around him growing viscous, his thoughts slowing, and his vision seemed to distort. Everything appeared as if viewed through frosted glass. Simultaneously, the light in the room dimmed.

Lu Yuan looked at Xu Weiguo and was shocked to find five towering, jet-black, ferocious tigers materializing around him. Each tiger stood over five meters tall, its crimson eyes glaring malevolently at him, postured as if ready to tear him apart and devour him. In a daze, Lu Yuan even smelled waves of a nauseating, bloody stench, as if five true jungle overlords were present.

His mist-like Spiritual Power retracted, and a spark of clarity ignited in his mind. Lu Yuan instantly returned to normal.

Looking again, Xu Weiguo was still Xu Weiguo; all the strange phenomena he had witnessed had vanished. However, the air around Xu Weiguo was visibly distorted; even the incandescent light from the ceiling fixture was warped and seemingly devoured as it passed through, creating a dual sense of physical and psychological oppression.

A Grandmaster's Power Field. Lu Yuan observed Xu Weiguo, his eyes shining with a peculiar light.

Xu Weiguo didn't respond; at this moment, he seemed like a changed man. He stood quietly in the center of the martial arts field, possessing a majestic, imposing aura, like a deep abyss or a towering mountain.

"Control Style: One Tiger!" Xu Weiguo uttered softly, then made a slow, deliberate gesture of raising his fist.

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, still contemplating how to respond.

Xu Weiguo's fist was suddenly right in front of him.

So fast?!

Lu Yuan was abruptly startled. He instinctively raised his arms, crossing them before his chest. The muscles in his arms bulged slightly as dark-golden Martial God Strength surged forth.

BANG!

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP—

Taking the punch, Lu Yuan felt as if he had been struck head-on by a speeding heavy truck. His entire body was sent reeling backward, propelled by an unprecedentedly colossal force. Each step he took back gouged a deep crater into the super-alloy steel floor. He retreated more than twenty steps before he barely managed to stabilize himself.

PHEW—

Lu Yuan exhaled a long breath and slowly lowered his hands, the sparkle in his eyes even brighter.

Xu Weiguo's punch was at least twenty times more potent than his previous moves! It felt somewhat like taking a punch from his [Demon] form.

As he worked to dissipate the overwhelming force, Lu Yuan realized his inability to react in time wasn't because Xu Weiguo was too fast. Rather, the Grandmaster's Power Field had, to some extent, skewed his mental and sensory perceptions. He had been "deceived."

Impressive! Even with 28 points of intelligence, my Spiritual Power is still affected. I've truly underestimated the Grandmaster realm...

The more this was the case, the more Lu Yuan's anticipation grew.

"Control Style: Two Tigers!"

Ahead, Xu Weiguo saw Lu Yuan's composure return and, assuming his stance, was about to attack again.

However, Lu Yuan called for him to stop.

Xu Weiguo looked slightly taken aback, then realized he wasn't actually here to spar but to cooperate with Lu Yuan's comprehension and research.

Sigh... I got a little carried away.

Lu Yuan asked Xu Weiguo not to retract the Grandmaster's Power Field and then slowly walked towards him.

The distorted Power Field around Xu Weiguo was visibly only about three meters in radius, but its actual range of influence was far greater. As Lu Yuan steadily approached Xu Weiguo, the impact of the Power Field on him grew stronger.

When he was about half a meter away from Xu Weiguo, Lu Yuan began to experience mild hallucinations, feeling as if one moment he was in a deep, ancient forest surrounded by tigers, and the next, he was back in the Martial Arts field.

Lu Yuan gently shook his head, feeling the impact of the Grandmaster's Power Field on his spirit and will. He spoke to Xu Weiguo, "Master Xu, how is a Grandmaster Level Power Field generated?"

Xu Weiguo pondered for a moment, then replied, "It's formed by fusing spirit, vital energy, and martial arts comprehension. When these three are harmonized and form a self-sustaining cycle, the Grandmaster's Power Field is naturally generated… Anything more can only be intuited, not articulated."

Lu Yuan nodded. Without saying more, he closed his eyes to carefully experience and comprehend the profundities of this Grandmaster's Power Field.

It's undeniably great to have Lord Tong looking out for me. Knowing I wanted to break through to the Grandmaster realm, he immediately found a Grandmaster for me to observe and learn from, practically dissecting the experience for my benefit. Otherwise, I'd have to rely on texts or recordings for inspiration, and the effectiveness of those methods is far inferior.

After about twenty minutes, Lu Yuan opened his eyes and said politely to Xu Weiguo, "Thank you for your trouble today, Master Xu. Could I ask you to come again tomorrow?"

Xu Weiguo had no objections. He cupped his fists in a farewell salute to Lu Yuan and departed.

The moment Xu Weiguo left, Lu Yuan immediately entered the [Imaginary Enemy]'s Consciousness Space, his own consciousness inhabiting Xu Weiguo's body.

Hmm...

After meticulously perceiving Xu Weiguo's physique, Lu Yuan discovered that Xu Weiguo's physical constitution was actually inferior to his own. But, just as Xu Weiguo himself had described, when his spirit, vital energy, and martial arts comprehension fused into one, harmonizing and forming a self-sustaining cycle, it triggered some kind of wondrous, ineffable change. This had caused a profound transformation in his entire life form.

Will... Will is the key! It's the Light of Spirit found in the New Martial and Modification Systems!

The power of the mind was incredibly potent. This wasn't limited to this world; even in his previous life, Lu Yuan had heard news reports of things like 'an eighty-year-old mother single-handedly lifting a multi-ton car to save her child,' or 'an eight-year-old elementary student, in a burst of pre-deadline energy, finishing three hundred blank test papers in a single night...'

When the power of the mind reached a certain threshold, it could indeed unlock the vast, latent potential hidden within the human body to an immense degree.
