After rushing to wipe off a whole body of sweat, Mu Xiao changed into another dry tank top and sat down on the sofa, staring thoughtfully at An Rongru who was busy clearing the tableware.

  An Rongru's spiritual power sensed Mu Shao's gaze lingering on her, and she felt a flush rise to her cheeks like red jade. She was shy but sweet in her heart, but she wasn't worried that he would behave improperly because if he had other intentions, he wouldn't have let her off so easily just now.

  He admired his wife's beautiful figure as if he were her husband...

  This is the feeling that Mu Xiao gave to An Rong Rou, so she had a kind of warm and sweet feeling in her heart. After Mu Xiao's unexpected understanding and consideration just now, she almost hung her heart on Mu Xiao.

  In fact, she had long acknowledged in her heart that Mu Xiao was her man, and all that was needed was a catalyst to break the relationship.

  She admitted her feelings in just one day, abandoning the guard she had held in her heart for many years. It seemed absurd, but if one experienced several life-and-death situations in a single day, any woman would be unable to bear it. Moreover, she first had a good impression of Mu Xiao, and then developed romantic feelings, rather than the so-called love at first sight which was even more bizarre.

  Bad environment has made many impossible things possible, including personal emotions and feelings...

  An Rongru gathered the dinner utensils, preparing to go to the bathroom to clean up. The mutated meat was rich in calories, and she had just eaten a lot of it. After replenishing her body, her blood was boiling, and she naturally broke out in a fragrant sweat. Moreover, the ambiguous atmosphere earlier had stirred up her emotions, causing her thoughts to wander...

  "Come here for a moment, don't go to the bathroom to wash up yet, or you'll have to wash again later." Mu Xiao said solemnly from the sofa.

  "Is... is there something?" An Rongru's face turned red as jade, as if Mu Xiao had seen through the shameful thoughts in her heart, and he only spoke out such suggestive words.

  But isn't he reluctant to force himself? Why suddenly again...

  Dai An Rong Ru noticed Mu Xiao's cautious expression and thought to herself that she must have misunderstood again, feeling deeply embarrassed and thinking that she was being overly sensitive today.

  She quickly gathered her disorganized emotions and walked over to sit in front of Mu Xiao.

  "Do you feel any changes in your body?" Mu Xiao said more accurately: "As a new human, have you discovered your innate abilities, such as my innate ability is 'mind power' to drive some objects and can also be used for intangible attacks."

  As he spoke, his finger moved slightly, and a gentle mental force swept across An Rongruo's bangs, sliding down her soft cheeks, as if flirting. An Rongruo clearly felt an invisible hand gently stroking her face, suddenly understanding that Mu Xiao had made a demonstration, but still couldn't help blushing.

  "If my psychic power just now wasn't gentle, but in a strong attacking state, it would be like this..." Mu Xiao pinched her thumb and index finger together, forming a "pinching" gesture. The warm and gentle psychic power suddenly transformed into cold, hard iron chains that tightly constricted An Rong's slender neck. Her breathing was instantly cut off, and a pained expression appeared on her face. Her hands unconsciously reached up to her neck to try and relieve the pressure, but they couldn't loosen anything. The suffocating feeling grew stronger and stronger.

  Seeing her painful and anxious appearance, Mu Shao relaxed his grip on the Nen energy and said: "In the future, when you encounter this kind of invisible attack, don't panic. Just gather all your physical strength, spiritual power, and willpower to burst out in an instant, using that momentary explosive force to break free from the predicament. However, if your body shows any abnormal signs, immediately shake it off, don't give the enemy a chance to fully activate their ability."

  "He continued, 'However, new humans with psychic powers and mutated monsters are rare. If you're unlucky enough to encounter one, it's an enemy situation, and if they're at the same level as you, running away is still the safest option. As long as you can get out of range of their psychic powers, the restraints will weaken, and the ability user will have to expend more energy to maintain the intensity of their powers. If you can drag it out, it'll be advantageous for you. Of course, that's assuming your speed is faster than the enemy's; otherwise, it'll be the same outcome.'"

  "I'll try to learn how to fight, hoping to help you out in the future." An Rongru rubbed her sore neck, but didn't blame Mu Xiao for his rough demonstration.

  "Very well, you have such an awakening." Mu Xiao tapped his thigh with his fingers and said calmly: "Next, I will try to stimulate your innate ability as a new human, to determine what type of ability you have. However, during the process, you may feel very uncomfortable. But everything has its pros and cons. If we successfully stimulate your innate ability, you will have another way to protect yourself. Moreover, in this stimulation process, if you can persevere, your willpower will become more cohesive, which is also beneficial for the "Life Detection" ability you just obtained. Most importantly, when you encounter danger in the future, you won't be at a loss and will have the courage to face all bloody battles."

  His eyes were calm and flat, like a deep well that was bottomless, mysterious and dark. "Do you accept this process? Once you do, what I'll be doing next might seem cruel to you, and you might fear me..."

  "I accept!" An Rongru's face took on a resolute color as she replied without the slightest hesitation.

  Under her gentle and elegant appearance, she has a strong character like a rose.

  Because of the terrifying crisis she experienced today, far surpassing any experience in her past life. Her former identity and status seemed so fragile and powerless in the face of global disaster. The boundless fear and helplessness made her thoroughly understand that no power was as weak and small as hers, that life was beyond her control, and even suicide was impossible to achieve, leaving only a deep and silent despair.

  An Rongru didn't want to feel that cold and helpless despair again, her heart was filled with a longing for strength, so she wouldn't refuse Mu Xiao's suggestion.

  She fell silent for a moment, and Mu Xiao saw that she had made up her mind. He nodded secretly, but what followed would have to be a fatal blow. He hoped she could hold on and complete the initial transformation of her soul, so that in future battles, she wouldn't be timid or shrink back.

  "No matter what happens in the future, remember to stick to your heart, firm up your will, and believe in your ability..."

  Mu Xiao's voice grew colder and colder, like an emotionless machine.

  As soon as An Rongru heard the three words "Jian" fall, she didn't have time to carefully think and savor the profound meaning contained within. The next moment, a terrifying pressure like a demon or a monster surged out in front of her, that furious and raging sea, heavy as a great mountain, collided with, crushed, shook, and destroyed her spirit and will, making it seem as if they would be annihilated into nothingness.

  Musha's "Advanced Evolution Degree" battle aura had become his innate nature. If fully released, it was enough to crush the will of any human at this time, unable to produce the courage to resist him, and collapse in self-destruction.

  Especially now that he has truly become a new human, the strange swallowing properties in his blood make the terrifying pressure on his body even more tangible. The aura of evil around him condenses into waves of terror, and behind him seems to be a gathering of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. In the dark void, there appears to be a gigantic ferocious beast lurking, making An Rongyu feel like she could be torn apart at any moment.

  And he fought against the variant humans without using this aura, actually also to temper his mind once more. After all, in the past he was an extreme personality, if during battles he mixed in this terrifying pressure, it would be easy for him to fall into his previous extreme fighting methods. So he tried not to use pressure to impact his opponents, unless it was a life or death crisis.

  At this time, An Rongru's face turned pale, her lips were bloodless, cold sweat dripped down, her heart was extremely fearful, her pupils almost dispersed, and her limbs trembled constantly. She was like a small boat in a stormy sea, with huge waves crashing against her, her life and soul wavering uncertainly, even on the verge of being scattered, struck down, and plunged into boundless dark depths.

  When An Rongruo couldn't hold on any longer, countless thoughts flooded her mind, and suddenly Mu Xiao's words flashed back in her thoughts.

  When people are in a state of despair and helplessness, all feelings are magnified countless times, trying to find a glimmer of hope.

  At this moment, An Rongru is in such a state, her soul is about to collapse, and she grasps the words that Mu Xiao told her to remember, which are composed of three "Jian" characters.

  Hold on to your heart, be firm in your will, and believe in your ability!

  An Rongru's pupils quickly dispersed, gradually gathering into a firm gaze, unafraid and unpanicked, gritting her teeth to resist.

  "Oh?"

  Her eyebrows rose slightly, adding a bit more pressure to her already intense gaze, trying to crush and disperse An Rongru's temporarily gathered willpower. With this added pressure, An Rongru felt as if she had an extra mountain weighing down on her, as if her body was about to be crushed into pieces.

  Calmly thinking about what he said will definitely help me persevere.

  An Rong's forehead was sweating like a small stream, her heart had a kind of suffocating pain, negative emotions kept surging up, and her body also showed slight abnormal twitching. But she still persisted in taking a break, constantly thinking about the meaning of Mu Xiao's words.

  It was unclear whether an hour had passed, a minute, or just a few seconds.

  An Rongru insisted that there was still a limit, but within that limit, she understood Mu Xiao's words.

  Sticking to one's heart means not being affected by external emotional influences and holding on to a persistent and unyielding belief.

  Firm will is having a spirit that does not yield, does not panic, does not get tense, and does not bow to fear, treating life and death as nothing.

  Faith in one's abilities means believing in one's own strength. One's own ability is the best weapon to protect oneself and also a partner that will never betray oneself.

  Although An Rongyu understood the meaning of these words and resisted Mu Shao's pressure to the greatest extent, under his absolute pressure, An Rongyu was still a small boat in an angry sea, with the danger of being overwhelmed at any time. Moreover, truly achieving the mental state implied by the three "firm" characters is fundamentally a difficult task.

  This is a state of mind that requires going through countless dangers and having great courage and sacrifice.

  Unless it is a profound and high-level state of enlightenment, otherwise it is fundamentally impossible to have such a mindset.

  Lian Mu Xiao has his own fears, unable to be fearless, but his will is stronger than many people, his bloodline is his courage, most importantly he only believes in himself.

  Actually, Muxiao mainly wanted to help An Rongruo, condensing her tenacious will and spirit, so that she could quickly grasp the spiritual power of "Life Detection" and reduce her fear of the bloodiness of battle.

  The oppressive atmosphere was like a receding tide, and An Rongru, sitting across from him, was drenched in sweat, as if she had just been pulled out of the water. Her sports jacket was soaked with thick, sticky sweat that clung to her skin, accentuating her two full, upright breasts, which rose and fell with each deep breath, trembling slightly, making one's heart ache with a desire to hold her tightly in his arms.
