Neurolink System in the Modern World

The beam of light targeted me again. Its brightness cut through the space like a sharp blade, closing in on me with a force enough to evaporate normal metals into dust.

With every passing second, it grew stronger, enveloping me in blinding light that threatened to overwhelm.

'Can my shield really hold on?' I muttered to myself, even though my defense had immunity. Despite its protection, I couldn't shake the feeling of looming threat.

When the attack finally subsided, a massive hole marred the ground. It was so deep that even with my heightened senses, I couldn't see the bottom.

I planned to repeat the process of farming EXP. However, this time, I quickly returned Sung Hei to my storage. It dawned on me that I wasn't gaining EXP from my puppets' deaths anymore, and the difficulty had increased significantly.

'What a bummer,' I sighed inwardly. I realized that I had just wasted my third attempt. Discover hidden tales at empire

The people replaced by alternate versions of themselves no longer provided me with EXP. If I wanted to earn more, I needed to venture into a different area. However, the problem lay in the difficulty. I was certain the fourth attempt would be even harder.

With no better option, I landed on top of a building, the breeze tousling my hair as I pondered my next move. My mind raced, considering the best course of action in this situation.

I could wait for the cooldown and try again, for the fourth time.

But what if the attack grows even stronger? My immunity might not hold up. Nothing was absolute in this world, and I've got this nagging feeling that pushing my luck too far would anger something or someone .

RING RING RING.

The sudden ring of my phone jolted me from my thoughts, its tone cutting through the quiet of the rooftop.

With a quick swipe, I checked the messages. The screen illuminated with urgent notifications detailing the pressure various clans were exerting on Yuki.

'Those guys really don't know what's good for them,' I sighed at their ignorance. Then, I hovered through the air, flying towards Yuki's clan.

With my improved Mind Power, flying long distances was no longer an issue.

SWOOOOSH!

The world blurred around me as I raced forward, leaving a trail of air waves in my wake. Each passing second brought me closer to my destination, the wind roaring in my ears as I pushed my abilities to their limit.

Flying at Mach 3, I enveloped myself in Telekinesis to withstand the air friction, while simultaneously cloaking myself with invisibility. I made sure to fly high enough to avoid making noise.

This was once impossible for me, but the boost in my Mind Power not only increased its quantity but also enhanced my efficiency in wielding Telekinesis, significantly reducing its energy consumption.

At this level, I felt like I now had better control than the Zol Clan members I had encountered before. My skills had advanced, surpassing theirs in efficiency and mastery.

However, I couldn't compare my abilities to Zely's, as I hadn't witnessed her full power yet. I wasn't naive enough to believe that I was the only one holding back to preserve my trump cards as a secret.

After arriving at Yuki's clan mansion, I remained invisible, quietly observing. Thanks to my Mind Link, I could track her down immediately and simply teleported to her location.

Stepping inside, I found myself enveloped in a space that seemed to breathe with the spirit of mythical birds. The walls were draped with tapestries depicting scenes of phoenixes soaring amidst vibrant landscapes, their graceful forms weaving tales of resilience and rebirth.

Yuki stood at the center of the hall, surrounded by representatives from various clans, their imposing figures silhouetted against the soft glow of lanterns adorned with phoenix motifs.

The hall exuded a regal aura, reminiscent of a Japanese throne room, with majestic pillars intricately etched with phoenix patterns rising to support an elaborately designed ceiling depicting the cycle of life and renewal.

I eaves drop on their conversation, catching snippets of their demands and accusations. The atmosphere crackled with tension as she stood her ground, her voice steady despite the mounting pressure.

"Tell us the secret to unlocking the potential of our weapons!" demanded a middle-aged man with lustrous black hair. He wore a blue robe, its extravagant design signaling his high status, while his piercing gaze bore into Yuki, brimming with expectation and authority.

Yuki's gaze remained unwavering as she faced the man in the blue robe. With a firm voice, she responded defiantly, "The secrets of our weapons are not for outsiders to exploit. They are earned through dedication, discipline, and loyalty to our clan. You will not find them through coercion or demands."

"If you want to know the secret, then you need to submit to me," Yuki declared, her voice brimming with confidence. She knew I was already here, watching over her, so there was nothing to fear.

"You insolent girl, do you know who you're talking to?" The middle-aged man sneered in anger, clearly dissatisfied with her manner of speaking. His tone dripped with condescension, his eyes narrowing as he asserted his dominance over the conversation.

"I am the Patriarch of the Fifth strongest clan in Japan. You dare to speak to me like this?" He added, his voice filled with disdain as he emphasized his formidable status.

"And?" Yuki countered with a nonchalant tone.

Fifth strongest Clan? Even if the strongest in Asia were here, she wouldn't falter, because I'm backing her. With my current power, even five Zhangs wouldn't stand a chance against me if I went for the kill.

I was tempted to join the fray, but at the same time, I wanted Yuki to assert her dominance.

She would become my representative in Japan, so I needed to teach her that she couldn't be easily swayed by anyone.

Her future held great promise, and as long as I was here, Japan was nothing compared to what she could achieve.
