The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 256 Dissatisfaction
"Well……"

Huan Xian, who was standing shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Hui, suddenly groaned and unconsciously covered his eyes with his palm.

Jiang Hui, who was standing next to him, immediately noticed something was wrong: "What's wrong?"

"Good bastard, you actually cut off my mark."

The girl was a little stunned: "He found you?"

Huan Xian nodded and said, "That guy is very perceptive. I don't know how he did it. He didn't release any mental energy. I could only detect the mental energy fields of his companions. But the distance was too far, and the information available for reading was very weak."

In short, it's 'unable to mark, difficult to lock'.

This is going to be tricky.

"Don't worry, they can't hide their spiritual power forever, can they?" Huan Xian sneered.

Mental strength, even more sensitive than sight, is undoubtedly the best weapon for self-protection in chaotic battles. People invisible to the naked eye, sounds inaudible to the ear, can all be detected with sufficient mental strength. Huan Xian understood this deeply.

To put it bluntly, without mental strength, what's the point of them fighting?!

"Don't use your mental energy for now, and don't let him detect your presence," Huan Xian said to Jiang Hui.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hui nodded without saying anything. Then he saw the other person turn his head and continue to look through the void at an enemy hidden by layers of bushes.

This person seems to be subtly provoked. Jiang Hui thought to himself.

After severing the faint spiritual thread, Holly's expression turned grim: "Everyone, put away your spiritual energy, now!"

Others were confused, some followed the advice without knowing whether it was appropriate or not, like Xiao Li, while others were unhappy and wanted an explanation.

In this small team, all five players are strong attackers, and Holly is undoubtedly at the top. However, the second-best player is not Shaw, who clearly holds the position of the team's second-in-command, but Mukun.

Her mental level is comparable to Holly's, or even slightly higher. Coming from a military family and having received extensive training, she possesses more knowledge and experience than the average student. Her physical fitness, martial arts skills, and marksmanship are all formidable, on par with Holly's abilities.

However, Holly has a much better overall perspective, and with Shaw by his side providing full support, the team is currently under Holly's complete control.

But in terms of overall team strength, this guy is definitely far superior to Xiao Li.

Mu Kun had been dissatisfied with this unprecedented predicament for some time. Initially, everyone had come together because of their similar abilities and the same desire to win. She felt that she couldn't beat Holly, so she logged off.

Indeed, for a long time, under their leadership, they held the upper hand, far more smoothly than she had been fighting alone, and quickly climbed to the front. However, this situation seemed to change after they encountered R186's group, and the situation suddenly deteriorated.

They were no longer as confident as before, and Holly seemed to be losing his composure. Even the arena, which they had previously considered harmless, seemed to be working against them. Heaven knows how many people in the arena were waiting to see them make a fool of themselves.

This change made Mu Kun extremely uncomfortable, and he kept hovering on the verge of having an attack.

Now she finally couldn't take it anymore: "Holly, what do you mean?! Are we hiding our mental energy and waiting to die? If, as you say, someone is lying in ambush, wouldn't hiding our mental energy be the same as surrendering with our weapons raised?"

"..."

"What exactly are you trying to do? You've completely lost your composure since just now. I remember you weren't like this when I first met you. Now you're already like this just because you've encountered a slightly troublesome enemy. Where's your arrogance? Where's your swagger?" Mu Kun couldn't stand the other party's demeanor. What kind of behavior was this, all coy and hesitant?

“Speak up, I didn’t criticize you for anything. Since you’ve become our team leader, you should take on the responsibilities of leadership. You didn’t say anything, just muttered to yourself, who knows what’s going on. Heaven knows if I’m out of my mind or what, that’s why I made you team leader, and now you’re even slacking off. Is it too late for me to step down?”

"What are you saying?" Someone suddenly grabbed her wrist and spoke condescendingly above her head, their tone as cold as ever.

"...You finally remembered to respond to me. I thought you were mute."

"Holly, let me tell you, Shaw is afraid of you, but I'm not. Everyone on the field is racing against time, trying to maximize their chances of winning, but you're just sitting there thinking about nothing... just being dramatic. I'm telling you, it's time to wake up, get to work! I'm not following you around to be made a fool of like a monkey." Mu Kun said confidently, launching into a tirade.

She felt a little better at last. If she had kept it in any longer, she feared she wouldn't have made it to the end of the competition; she would have suffocated. Mu Kun had never suffered such humiliation in her entire life…

As for whether Holly would settle scores with her later, that wasn't her concern. Anyway, Holly couldn't do anything to her. At most, she'd be kicked off the team and eliminated—it was just one competition… But if Holly really dared to treat her like that, they'd never be done with each other again. Mu Kun thought to herself.

“The person lying in ambush has unusual mental power. He marked the area near us. Once your mental field expands, his mental connections will also expand, and then they can easily locate our position,” Holly said in a deep voice.

He lowered his eyes, his disheveled hair obscuring half of his face, making it impossible to see his expression. Only his taut wrists revealed a glimpse of his true psychological state.

A spiritual mark… Unheard of! I’ve never heard of anyone being able to leave a mark on another person’s spiritual field. What kind of person is that? And what kind of monster can move with their spiritual energy?

No wonder Holly had been acting strangely since earlier. Even now, hearing about the monster that could mark mental energy lurking nearby made her uneasy. Mu Kun didn't dwell on why he had believed Holly so easily; he was simply filled with lingering fear.

For them, mental power transcends the five senses; in many situations, they are even more inclined to trust mental power than their eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Without the perception of mental power, even the strongest warrior would lose much of their confidence.

"Then, then let's leave it at that," Mu Kun said, somewhat unwillingly, after recovering. Xiao Li, standing beside him, also looked grim, glancing around warily, as if the terrifying person Holly had mentioned might suddenly appear and attack them at any moment.

"...Let me think about it some more." A strange look suddenly appeared on the boy's face.
