After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

After saying goodbye to He Yuanyang, Leng Ran followed Cao Yike to a mental training room specifically for commanders.

The walls of the training room are made of a special material that can prevent mental energy from spreading to the outside world, and various mental energy training equipment is placed inside.

Cao Yike handed Leng Ran a mental sea monitoring device and gestured for her to put it on: "This is used to detect the stability of your mental sea and prevent damage from overtraining."

Leng Ran deeply understands this; when she was seven years old, she forcibly activated the Thunder to fight against the subordinates of the Other Shore Flower, and her mental sea almost collapsed.

If a commander forces the use of skills after exhausting all their mental energy, it can easily lead to the cracking of their mental sea, which in turn affects brain function. Therefore, this kind of safety equipment is very necessary during mental training.

This was the first time Leng Ran had ever seen such a good thing. When she was training with the Illuminati on the Nameless Star, Instructor Mei Meng had always pushed herself to the limit, to the point of not caring about life or death.

Waste has no value to them.

After suppressing his mental state to level three, Leng Ran connected the detection device under Cao Yike's guidance. A slightly undulating wave line appeared on the display screen next to him, recording the stability of Leng Ran's mental sea.

She wasn't worried about her actual mental level being exposed. The mental shield provided by Zhao Lesong could fool an eighth-level divine messenger, so it should be able to fool Cao Yike, who was at an even lower level.

Cao Yike: "Alright, Mo Li. Tell me, what do you most want to learn right now?"

Leng Ran said without hesitation, "I want to improve my mental strength level, but I always feel that I have encountered a bottleneck in my mental strength cultivation."

Cao Yike: "First, release some of your mental energy, don't let your mental sea be in a full state."

He calmly did as instructed, mobilizing the mental energy within his mind and letting it naturally dissipate into the outside world.

Cao Yike: "Now, cover your eyes with your mental energy and observe the dissipation of your mental energy."

In her cold eyes, wisps of spiritual energy drifted aimlessly, and without her control, they seemed about to dissipate quickly.

Cao Yike: "Now control them, don't let them appear as threads anymore, but as water droplets."

Leng Ran was somewhat troubled, since she hadn't given these spiritual energies any instructions when she released them, and now that they were about to dissipate, they were difficult to control.

She tried once, but failed. The drifting spiritual energy seemed to have its own ideas and quickly dissipated.

Cao Yike encouraged, "Try a few more times, take it slow, and find the feeling of compressing your mental energy."

Leng Ran carefully controlled the direction of her mental energy, and finally, on the third attempt, she successfully condensed the overflowing mental threads into water droplets.

Cao Yike was somewhat surprised. This method was taught to him by his master, Leng Ziyi. He originally thought that Leng Ran would need to try more than ten times to succeed, but he did not expect that she would master the technique in just three times.

"Very good. Now, take this drop of water back into your spiritual sea."

Leng Ran clearly sensed that the concentration of this drop of spiritual energy was quite high, far exceeding that of the threads surging within his original spiritual sea.

"You've probably already noticed that the concentration of spiritual energy in this drop of water is higher than the spiritual energy within your spiritual sea," Cao Yike explained. "Our commander's spiritual energy is essentially an ocean. As the level of spiritual energy increases, the amount of spiritual energy increases, and the capacity of the ocean will continue to expand."

"Besides increasing capacity, another way is to improve the quality of mental energy within a limited capacity. Condensation is a very good method."

"When you condense the spiritual power in your spiritual sea to a certain degree, new spiritual power will be born to fill the space vacated by the condensation. When the spiritual power becomes thick enough, the spiritual sea will naturally expand."

He nodded coldly: "I see. It is indeed a good idea. Thank you for your guidance, Commander Cao."

“Hmm,” Cao Yike replied, “The concentrated droplets of spiritual energy have another wonderful use—they can be used as a means of attack.”

Hmm? Leng Ran looked at Cao Yike with great interest.

“Mental Blast.” Cao Yike smiled. “Let me demonstrate. This attack skill is extremely dangerous. Do not attempt it lightly before your mental level reaches level five. It can be used as a last resort to save your life.”

Leng Ran's only existing mental attack skill is Mental Impact, which involves gathering a large amount of mental energy in a short period of time and smashing it into the opponent's mental sea to achieve short-term control.

If it is instantaneous, it requires mentally suppressing the opponent by two levels to gain three seconds. It is mostly used for assassination missions against non-commanders and is not very practical on the front line of battle.

Cao Yike walked into a transparent training pod, picked up a test block, and placed it on a metal platform.

In his cold, detached mental vision, he condensed a powerful droplet of mental energy, which quickly floated to the cube, compressed rapidly, and then exploded.

The cube turned into tiny fragments, while the droplets of spiritual energy skipped the stage of turning into threads and then disappearing, evaporating into thin air.

He calmly assessed his own abilities... If he were to drain all his existing mental energy, condense it into a single drop of water, and then detonate it, perhaps he could succeed.

"As you can see, mental blasts may achieve unexpected effects, but to achieve sufficient damage, the cost is staggering, far exceeding that of mental shocks and higher-level mental control."

Leng Ran was somewhat itchy: "Commander Cao, may I test it out using a small amount of my mental energy?"

"Don't draw out too much mental energy. You can try it under my supervision." Cao Yike opened the hatch and let Leng Ran in. "If you detonate too little mental energy, it may not be effective. You should be prepared for that."

Cao Yike placed another block on top, and Leng Ran, mimicking Cao Yike's previous actions, mobilized a small portion of his mental energy, gathered it into a droplet, and then detonated it instantly upon rapid compression.

On the screen, Leng Ran's mental sea was fluctuating violently. The mental explosion was indeed successful, but it only shook the cube slightly, almost negligible.

"Not bad, Mo Li, you succeeded on your first try. You are even more talented than I expected." Cao Yike praised, "Try a few more times and find the feeling. Once your mental strength level increases, the power will increase greatly."

Leng Ran tried five more times, failing only once and succeeding the other four.

However, the specially made cube remained completely still on the metal table.

"That's enough, you've already exhausted a lot of mental energy." Cao Yike called a halt. "Let's call it a day for today's demolition training. In your free time, you can focus on intensive practice. You can come to me for training these next few days."

The expert's guidance was very helpful. Leng Ran sincerely thanked Cao Yike and arranged to continue their special training the next day.

Such opportunities are rare, so of course we should take advantage of the other party's free time to listen to their guidance.

Leng Ran noticed that it was still early and, thinking of He Xiting who was still training at the shooting range, decided to go visit him.
