[The title of Ancestral Master sounds quite nice, but becoming an Ancestral Master is no simple matter.]
[At least in the current Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, only two people possess Mental Energy of this level.]
[One is naturally Yu Xiaogang, and the other is the strongest, Yu Yuanzhen.]
[Yu Yuanzhen attained such Mental Energy suddenly during a recent Cultivation session.]
[Regarding his sudden ability to perceive various elemental particles in the air, along with other effects, Yu Yuanzhen thought it was an ability he gradually mastered after his Spirit evolved.]
[But as Yu Xiaogang's Mental Energy also reached this level through a Breakthrough, Yu Yuanzhen finally understood that it was his Mental Energy that had achieved a Breakthrough.]
[And this was even more shocking.]
[Yu Yuanzhen is already level 97 now, and his strength is definitely in the top tier of the Douluo Continent.]
[Yet under such circumstances, Yu Yuanzhen's Mental Energy only reached its current Realm for some inexplicable reason, while Yu Xiaogang reached it when he was only a Spirit Ancestor.]
[Doesn't this mean that the current Yu Xiaogang can already rival a Titled Douluo, or even surpass many Titled Douluos?]
[Furthermore, although Yu Yuanzhen possessed this power, he was not very familiar with it.]
[In the past, Yu Yuanzhen had always been the fierce combat type, and his Mental Energy was basically used for defense.]
[Therefore, the task of developing the usage of Mental Energy ultimately fell onto Yu Xiaogang's shoulders.]
[Fortunately, Yu Xiaogang himself was very interested in applications in this area and directly took on the task of researching Mental Energy.]
["Uncle Lin, next I will demonstrate several different applications I've discovered. Please help me assess the specifics."]
["By the way, please lower your defenses first so that my mental Moves can successfully take effect on you."]
[Yu Xiaogang reminded him.]
["No problem, but Xiaogang, don't make me lose face like that Tai Tan did."]
[Lin Lang nodded in agreement, but quickly reminded him again.]
[The scene of Yu Xiaogang making Tai Tan cry was still fresh in his mind; it would be too embarrassing if he were made to cry as well.]
["Don't worry, Uncle Lin, I won't lead it in that direction."]
[Yu Xiaogang grinned.]
[At the thought of a Spirit Emperor being made to cry by him, Yu Xiaogang couldn't suppress the curl of his lips.]
[Mental Energy is truly wonderful.]
[After ensuring everything was ready, Yu Xiaogang utilized Mental Energy and mixed it with his First Spirit Skill to form a long staff.]
[Griping the long staff tightly, Yu Xiaogang charged at Lin Lang without a word.]
[Seeing this, Lin Lang also began to respond cautiously.]
[Of course, it was only a physical response; his mental defenses were completely wide open.]
["First, try my Mental Shock."]
[As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang mobilized his Mental Energy and, along with the long staff, began to impact Lin Lang's mind.]
[The prepared Lin Lang took Yu Xiaogang's attack, and in an instant, a mental impact surged directly into Lin Lang's mind.]
[Under the impact, Lin Lang felt his consciousness become somewhat blurred, and his body began to lose control.]
[Yu Xiaogang did not continue his pursuit but waited for Lin Lang to recover.]
[After a few breaths, Lin Lang shook his head.]
["This Move of yours is truly insidious."]
[This was Lin Lang's most direct feeling.]
[While both sides were in hand-to-hand combat, the opponent suddenly unleashed a Mental Shock.]
[Under the influence of the Mental Shock, his consciousness became blurred, even though his strength was far superior to Yu Xiaogang's.]
[Lin Lang dared not imagine if he were at the same level as Yu Xiaogang, would a single Mental Shock from the opponent turn him into an idiot?]
["Insidious?"]
["In battle, the more insidious a Move is, the more useful it becomes."]
["Alright, Uncle Lin, you've experienced this Move, so now it's time for the next one."]
[As his voice fell, Yu Xiaogang once again swung the long staff to attack.]
[Lin Lang responded just as before, but this time, that intense feeling of impact did not come.]
[Seeing this, Lin Lang did not dare to relax in the slightest.]
[After all, the calmer it is now, the more outrageous the follow-up will be.]
[As the battle continued, Yu Xiaogang seemed to be purely honing his close-quarters combat, bringing no changes at all.]
[This caused the confusion in Lin Lang's heart to intensify.]
[Just as Lin Lang was about to stop and ask, suddenly, a small Dragon appeared behind Yu Xiaogang, who was fighting him, and began spitting rays in his direction.]
[Seeing this, Lin Lang had no choice but to dodge.]
[Without waiting for him to ask why Yu Xiaogang summoned the small Dragon, Yu Xiaogang and the small Dragon attacked together, the man and Dragon cooperating tacitly as if this were just an ordinary sparring match.]
[After dozens more rounds, Yu Xiaogang finally stopped his attack.]
[He looked at Lin Lang, then at the small Dragon beside him, and asked with a smile:]
["How is it, Uncle Lin? Did you notice anything unusual?"]
["Anything unusual..."]
[Yu Xiaogang's question startled Lin Lang.]
[Because it meant Yu Xiaogang had already made a Move, yet he hadn't noticed any problem.]
[After thinking for a moment, Lin Lang eventually shook his head.]
["Under my perception, everything is normal."]
["Hehe, then how about this?"]
[Hearing Lin Lang's answer, Yu Xiaogang chuckled and waved his hand. The figure of the small Dragon beside him began to turn illusory until it vanished.]
["This... could it be that in the battle just now, Xiaogang, you didn't actually call out the small Dragon?"]
[Lin Lang's eyes widened.]
[In the previous battle, Yu Xiaogang was clearly fighting alongside the small Dragon, and he had even tangibly felt the small Dragon's attacks. But now, the small Dragon hadn't even been called out?]
[Doesn't that mean he was only fighting Yu Xiaogang alone before, and the small Dragon was purely his illusion?]
[But what was the reason for the realistic tactile sensation?]
["The previous battle was indeed just a one-on-one between me and you."]
["As for why you saw the small Dragon, it's because I was creating illusions through Mental Energy."]
["And the realistic tactile sensation was also simulated by me using Mental Energy and transmitted to you through the attacks."]
["Well, Uncle Lin, did you notice any flaws during the battle?"]
[Hearing Yu Xiaogang's explanation, Lin Lang shook his head.]
[If he had noticed any flaws, he wouldn't have been so shocked.]
["Illusions... if you use this kind of illusion to confuse opponents in future battles, wouldn't they not even know how they died?"]
[Lin Lang was becoming somewhat interested in this ability.]
["Yes, that is indeed possible, but these kinds of Moves also have major flaws."]
["The simplest one is that illusions are constructed based on my perception of something.]
["If the illusion I construct has a flaw, then the opponent can easily perceive it as an illusion or even turn it against me."]
["Because the small Dragon is always with me, I am clear on its every Move, which is why there were almost no flaws."]
["But if I were to construct one of your acquaintances, Uncle Lin, you would probably notice something wrong immediately."]
[Yu Xiaogang touched his hair.]
[Illusion Creation is something that can be explored further.]
[When my created illusions can completely deceive all perceptions, that will be truly formidable.]
