The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Li Chunfeng never imagined that the young man on the other side of the lake would possess such formidable strength.

Judging from the current perception, he is actually three points stronger than Zhou Shan.

"how is this possible?"

"Such a character, how could he have been so unknown before?"

"Could he be the fourth-ranked player in the organization?"

However, he immediately interrupted this idea as soon as it came to mind.

"It shouldn't be."

"Those four people we just sensed must have been four Upper-Rank Armor level warriors?"

"Why does this guy possess such formidable strength?"

"..."

"Is this another trump card of Zhou Shan's? Disguised as a second-class member and hiding until now? In reality, he has the strength of a first-class member... In other words, the information we have about four first-class members has been wrong, and there are actually five first-class members in the organization?"

There are five of the Four Heavenly Kings; that's common knowledge.

Li Chunfeng frowned, somewhat surprised to encounter such a situation.

Fortunately, I've been lucky enough to discover this now, which is better than finding out after a full-scale conflict has begun. What I need to do is defeat him completely at this moment.

But... this guy named Li Yu is actually half a point stronger than Zhou Shan... am I confident that I can defeat him by myself? This level of competition is completely impossible to win by sheer numbers. Only if another expert of my strength comes along can I secure a victory.

"What the other party's ability is is currently unknown... but this guy definitely knows my ability."

"Zhou Shan already knew my true abilities when he was in Jinling. Once the competition begins, I will be the one who suffers."

A rare feeling of unease arose in Li Chunfeng's heart.

At this moment, he was filled with a thousand thoughts. The more he looked at the situation in front of him, the more he felt that he should wait and see.
He had already sent out the truly powerful spiritualists in the alliance to intercept the machine armor, and it seemed that as long as he could hold off Li Yu, he would have already won.

If the other party remains inactive, then one should be happy to see it happen.

"Although there are some variables, the difference is not significant."

"The outcome was already decided when this operation began."

His thoughts raced, a multitude of ideas flashing through his mind.

Then he looked again at the powerful figure on the other side of the lake, surrounded by steaming light, and felt a little relieved.

Making a decision, if the other party doesn't make a move, then simply waiting it out is not a bad option.

Chen Yufei stared at Li Yu's retreating figure, his nerves taut, remaining motionless.

He could tell, of course, that the richly dressed man on the other side of the lake was incredibly powerful, and he saw him beckon with his finger.

However... the other party did not make a move.

He didn't know why the other party hadn't made a move, but he knew that if the other party made a move, they would have no chance to fight back.

The situation has been calm for the time being, so why has there been no action?
Chen Yufei looked at Li Yu standing by the lake again, not understanding what had happened, but since he was still alive, maintaining the status quo was the most appropriate state to be in.

The Cao brothers, Zhigang and Zhiqiang, shared the same thought. Their faces were grave as they stared at the opposite shore of the lake, their muscles and nerves stretched to their limit, ready to explode at any moment. The elaborately dressed man opposite them exerted immense mental pressure, as if they were facing a prehistoric behemoth; waves of fear from the depths of their genes were assaulting their minds.

None of the three of them were mental powerhouses, so they had no idea that the richly dressed man was emanating layers of energy, as if facing a formidable enemy, which was why he brought them such a strong sense of pressure.

If they could see Li Yu's face, they would probably immediately know what had happened.

At this moment, Li Yu's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

In order to delay his opponent, Li Yu was currently outputting his mental power at maximum power, dragging his opponent into a dream.

The methods of a dream interpreter are indeed bizarre.

What fifth place is there?

Li Yu had no idea about Li Chunfeng's background. They were on a mission in Kunlun and had not yet received any intelligence from headquarters.

At this moment, the power that Li Chunfeng misunderstood was merely his own self-perception.

That was because Li Yu induced the emotion of "fear," causing Li Chunfeng to form a related perception in his own mind.

When one is truly in a dream, even someone in a high position cannot tell whether they are in a dream.

This is precisely the biggest disadvantage of a dream enterr. Once Li Chunfeng realizes he is not in reality and attacks the dream, the dream constructed by Li Yu will immediately collapse. Unlike when Li Yu entered other people's dreams, where even if the person entering the dream is aware of their ability to dream, they can forcibly keep the target in the dream, as was the case with Princess Anle and Zhao Xingyu.

However, once the two sides are of similar skill levels, the dream enterr's abilities become relatively useless. Once the dream is exposed, Li Yu is not confident that he can keep the other party in the dream. Therefore, everything must become "reasonable" and not as bizarre as a real dream.

However, this constructed dream also shares some commonalities with real dreams. That is "self-awareness".

Li Chunfeng was subtly induced to feel fear by Li Yu. The enemy in Li Chunfeng's dream possessed even greater power, making him wary. And within dreams, the dreamer may inadvertently overlook certain details.

Cold sweat slid down his forehead and streamed down his cheeks. But Li Yu seemed oblivious to it; he didn't move, focusing entirely on the mental energy he was channeling.

When will he notice?

"..."

"What should we do after we notice?"

Li Yu knew very well that his actions could buy time, but he also knew that he could not maintain such a high level of mental energy output indefinitely, and that his opponent would not be trapped in the dream forever. Once the opponent became aware of the dream, he and his teammates would be instantly killed in the next second.

The power gap is too great.

I am just a nominee for the top tier, but my strength is still some distance from that of a true top tier player.

Even though the opponent was in a dream, on his own turf, Li Yu still wasn't confident he could kill him, so they were stuck in this stalemate...

At this moment, Li Yu felt conflicted.

If the other party will find out sooner or later, then it's better to try killing him on your own turf.

However, once an attack is launched, the opponent will likely realize the problem very quickly, and even the slightest delay that can be achieved at this point will be wasted.

"How exactly can we kill him?"

"..."

There is no perfect solution.

In fact, Li Yu understood as well...

There is never a perfect solution when faced with choices.

Adventure and the unknown are the norm in life.

If the other party will eventually find out, rather than waiting to die, why not give it a try?
Only by actively trying can new variables be introduced.

But trying means that you'll never get rescued.

With such a powerful anomaly erupting... has headquarters already sent people to Kunlun? Given the strength of the opponent, have all four top-tier warriors arrived?

"Oh shit."

Li Yu is usually calm, even cold. Neither the members of Team Three nor people familiar with him like Song Chen and Jiang Chuan have ever been able to discern what he's thinking. His demeanor is remarkably composed. However, under immense pressure, he finally broke with his usual behavior and chose to take a gamble.

"So be it, I'm dead..."

"Bros……"

Although he didn't turn around, he glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye, but of course... he didn't see anything.

His gaze shifted for only a moment before returning to Li Chunfeng, and then Li Yu closed his eyes.

……

"Why not take a step forward?" Li Chunfeng heard a powerful voice from the other side of the lake that made his heart tremble.

Why not take a step forward?
Is this an invitation to a fight?

"Take one step and I will kill you."

Li Yu's voice was extremely loud, seemingly emanating from every corner of this world, even the sand and lake water seemed to be making a sound.

Li Chunfeng smiled; he had never seen such an arrogant person before.

However, he became increasingly wary.

Arrogance is having the power to be arrogant.

That guy named Li Yu on the other side of the lake certainly has the right to be so arrogant.

But as an opponent, Li Chunfeng did not show the seriousness in his heart:

Why didn't you make the first move?

"Is your ability to retaliate?"

"Hmm... the longer we wait, the stronger our counterattack will be?"

Li Yu: "Oh?"

"It seems the infiltration work has been done quite well."

"But what can you do even if you know my abilities?"

"Do you dare to attack me?"

At this moment, Li Yu gained the ability called "counterattack".

This is a dream constructed by Li Yu, in which Li Yu exists as the object, while Li Chunfeng is the one dreaming.

Li Chunfeng's "beliefs", "analysis", and "speculations" will all come true in this dream.

This is the power of dreams.

When dreaming, he is the king in his dream world.

Life and death are decided by fate, falling off a cliff, being chased by evil spirits... The source of it all is just the deception of the brain by "perception," the power of "belief."

The more Li Chunfeng "believed" something was, the more reasonable it seemed to him, and in the dream... "reasonableness" was the root of what would happen next.

This is the true power of a dream interpreter.

It induces the other person to think, thereby making the dream increasingly terrifying and unfavorable to the dreamer.

As described in the novel, it is "the power of my thinking".

The difference is, in the opinion of the dreamer, Li Chunfeng.

Even Li Chunfeng himself was surprised that his casual remark was actually true... This matter became an established fact in the dream.

Instead of making him realize that this was a dream, it further solidified the dream that Li Yu had constructed.

Li Yu also knew that the fact that this dream was stable made him realize that Li Chunfeng was not as relaxed as he appeared.

This could further encourage Li Yu to manipulate him.

"If you don't come over, I'm going to go over there."

"The abilities I can reveal are only one of them."

"Even my teammates don't know... This is something that can't be revealed."

"I've already given you the first-mover advantage..."

"And you, are you unwilling to seize this opportunity?"

Stack buffs, the more the better.

The stronger and more invincible the image that is established in Li Chunfeng's subconscious, the more likely it is that he will be forever trapped in this dream!
In just a few words, Li Yu seemed to see a glimmer of hope for victory.

This induces the opponent to think, making him increasingly amplify this emotion under the tone of "fear," leading him to believe that he is invincible!
And this kind of thought-provoking idea is like what hypnotists say: "Don't think about elephants"...

The other party will definitely start thinking, and the answer to that thinking will definitely be reflected back on them!
The dream world has become even more stable.

Li Yu also felt that he was stronger in the dream, and his mental power was filled to an unimaginable degree, a level of strength he had never experienced before!

"very good!"

Everything is proceeding according to my plan.

A disdainful yet powerful smile curled at the corners of Li Yu's lips. He looked at Li Chunfeng and sneered:
"You still won't take action?"

"ridiculous."

"Then I'll come."

After speaking, Li Yu took a step forward.

The moment Li Yu took that step, he was pleasantly surprised to realize that his strength had actually increased somewhat!
It seemed that the instant he took that step, countless thoughts and possibilities flashed through Li Chunfeng's mind! And those thoughts and ideas were applied to Li Yu one after another.

The more intelligent and knowledgeable a person is, the more it highlights the strength of Li Yu's abilities.

Because once they enter a dream state, they have just too many thoughts.

With just the slightest push, they will collapse like dominoes!

He stepped onto the lake, and his feet immediately began to communicate with the surface of the lake. A ferocious-looking water dragon roared out from beneath the water!

The waters of Yaochi Lake began to ripple...

The sky began to distort, as if a giant prism had appeared in the sky, and the sunlight was concentrated into a single point. The most intense light energy plowed across the lake and landed directly in front of Li Chunfeng.

Li Chunfeng's eyes widened in shock. He hadn't expected his opponent to be so powerful. He gritted his teeth, and light patterns immediately appeared on the ground beneath his feet. At the same time, he was rapidly considering whether his opponent had any means to stop him...

"here……"

Because of Li Chunfeng's contemplation, he had only uttered two words when the air seemed to instantly draw away, silencing him.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yu had already stepped across the lake and arrived in front of Li Chunfeng. His invincible figure pierced through the water, and he raised his fist high, throwing a punch at Li Chunfeng's face!
That punch came stronger and more ferocious.

It seemed to be extremely slow, but it locked onto Li Chunfeng's life force. It was as if the target of this punch was not his body, but the soul hidden behind his body!
This punch will annihilate his soul!

"It's done!"

Li Yu was overjoyed.

He looked at the dumbfounded Li Chunfeng, and on the one hand, he was shocked by the vast knowledge and experience in Li Chunfeng's mind, and on the other hand, he was glad that this was such an imaginative person, a person who kept thinking during the battle, and who listed out items like a computer.

Otherwise, how could the victory have been so easy?
As Li Chunfeng pondered, this punch grew stronger and stronger, piercing through the air and breaking through space, about to leave Li Chunfeng forever in this dream world, about to truly shatter his spiritual sea!
This punch reached its peak power in an instant, possessing all the abilities that Li Chunfeng could comprehend, making it unbelievably powerful.

In the blink of an eye, just as Li Yu was about to kill his opponent...

Li Yu's pupils suddenly contracted.

He felt the power crumble in an instant; the dream world, which was as stable as the real world, began to shake instantly.

The fist dissipated all its power at the last moment, stopping in front of Li Chunfeng, who was completely astonished.

Li Chunfeng looked at Li Yu's face, at his fist that had just been invincible, and shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"Dream Master..."

"How could I have forgotten this?" (End of Chapter)
