The sound of the door opening startled everyone.
Lin Zhen turned around, watching those familiar faces step out from the doorway one after another.
His pupils suddenly shrank.
Were all these people here to deal with Yun Ruoxi?
Wasn’t this going too far?
They were all top one-hundred ranked elites!
Zi Jiu immediately spotted Yun Ruoxi, who was suspended in midair, and her expression changed in shock. She glanced at Lin Zhen’s bitter face, hurried over, and asked in a low voice, “What’s going on?”
“What’s going on… is exactly what you’re seeing.”
Lin Zhen pointed at the collar around her neck. “And exactly what you’re hearing—everyone, using our full strength, against Xiao Xi.”
“So many of us against just her—”
Before Zi Jiu could finish, in the distance, Yun Ruoxi suddenly grabbed more than a dozen trainees and hurled them straight back inside the door.
Blue flames surged around her, and she shot forward like a cannonball!
Dust billowed in her wake.
The overwhelming telekinetic force rippled outward, forcing cracks like spiderwebs into the ground with harsh cracking sounds.
The trainees were sent flying, as if struck by an invisible tidal wave, utterly unable to resist.
Even Zi Jiu, Lin Zhen, and Yun Che were no exception, crashing into the wall before sliding to the floor.
Swish!
In just five seconds, Yun Ruoxi crossed more than five hundred meters.
As if inertia meant nothing, she abruptly halted in front of the top trainees.
Then—
She slowly raised both hands.
Blue flames flared violently again, surging telekinetic force crashing down on everyone before her like a tide.
From near to far, the top one hundred trainees were pinned to the walls and floor, one by one.
No matter how they struggled, they couldn’t move an inch.
Their faces contorted under the enormous pressure, eyes bulging as if about to be crushed.
“Hey hey hey, what kind of joke is this? This is way too much!”
012, who had once regarded Yun Ruoxi as prey, broke out in a cold sweat at her overwhelming power.
With a flash of electricity, he reappeared over a hundred meters away.
On camera, a bead of cold sweat slid down his cheek.
“219, huh? Worth killing!”
“Open the ship—no, open the door for me!”
“LOL, 012 the clown is finished.”
***
The stark contrast before and after for 012 instantly dispelled the tension in the interdimensional audience.
The chat was lively in an instant.
But for those present, the situation was grim to the extreme.
The top trainees, usually dubbed “monsters,” found themselves utterly helpless before a true “monster.”
But just then—
Far away, the black-haired, black-eyed girl No. 0009 suddenly extended her hands, forming a strange triangle and aiming it at Yun Ruoxi.
A formless wave shot from her gesture, striking Yun Ruoxi, who was wrapped in layers of telekinetic force.
Both girls instantly snapped backward.
The girl collapsed into her companion’s arms, while Yun Ruoxi drifted, silent, in midair.
Both of their eyes began to tremble violently, until an “xx” pattern appeared in their pupils.
“0009’s power can drag enemies into a mental domain, forcing a fantasy battle! Quick, while 219’s unconscious, restrain her body!”
0009’s roommate, 0028—a pink-haired, childlike girl—held the black-haired girl and shouted loudly to everyone.
She set the black-haired girl down and, in the next instant, leapt into the air, transforming into a dazzling starlight as she shouted her attack name, sacrificing herself to crash into Yun Ruoxi.
“Cute Flying Star Strike!”
Though everyone was speechless at the attack name, they seized the fleeting opportunity and launched a ferocious assault on Yun Ruoxi.
To rank in the top hundred, they knew better than anyone how to weigh priorities.
Pride, shame, morality—all could be set aside to complete the mission.
Bang!
The pink-haired girl thought her Flying Star Strike would easily succeed, but even dragged into the mental domain, Yun Ruoxi’s telekinetic force continued to surge outward unabated.
She crashed headlong into the layered invisible barrier, barely forcing through the last layer, only to be instantly repelled by the girl’s naturally overflowing psychic power.
Regaining human form in midair, she crashed hard to the ground.
But her attack had torn a crack in the shield, creating a chance for the others.
0001 pointed to the spot she’d struck, shouting to 0003:
“Attack that spot with everything you’ve got.”
“What about you?” The white-haired boy limbered up as he advanced.
“I still need a bit of time to analyze.” 0001 stared at Yun Ruoxi, floating in the air, the purple light in his pupils solidifying into intricate, interlocking polygons, spinning within each other.
“Is that so? Then you’d better be careful.”
The white-haired boy twisted his neck, crouching low. “So many of us against one girl, it’s just…”
As he spoke, he shrank to the size of an infant, leaping dozens of meters in a single bound, leaving behind a floating remark, “More than enough!”
Bang!
The white-haired boy landed in front of Yun Ruoxi.
His body instantly expanded to a three-meter giant, fists pummeling the telekinetic shield like a storm.
Crack, crack…
His enlarged body gave him immense power.
Under his fierce barrage, the shield splintered layer by layer.
But just as he broke through the last defense and his fist was about to touch the blue-haired girl, Yun Ruoxi, who had been floating on her back, suddenly righted herself, opened her crimson eyes, and locked onto him!
In the distance, 0009 awoke simultaneously, shrieking as she scrambled away in terror.
“Monster—she’s a monster!!”
Yun Ruoxi extended a single finger, touching the boy’s pot-sized fist, effortlessly stopping a punch that had already broken the sound barrier.
0003’s face flushed red, pouring all his strength into his fist—but he couldn’t advance an inch.
“Almost there… just one final push…”
In the monitoring room, Dr. Forefinger stared at the awakening progress, now at 99%, and a starlight index of 190. His face was filled with anticipation as he unconsciously gnawed his fingertip.
“Prepare to welcome the arrival of the Perfect Awakened!”
As he spoke, Yun Ruoxi tilted her head in the monitoring feed, lips curling into a mocking smile.
Her index finger unmoved, she gently flexed her middle finger.
Bang!
An irresistible force instantly sent 0003 flying, shrinking him back to normal midair as blood sprayed from his lips.
Just before he crashed to the ground, a gentle telekinetic force steadied him, pulling him safely to the floor.
“Cough, cough…” He collapsed beside 0001, coughing up blood.
“Are you done?”
He looked up, hope shining in his eyes at 0001.
“Yes, I’ve finished.”
0001 glanced at 0003, voice calm. A mysterious force seeped from his body, making his uniform ripple without wind, dust swirling around him as the center.
He spread his arms, heels slowly lifting from the ground.
Then his toes—
Finally.
He hovered in the air, rising to Yun Ruoxi’s height.
He gazed impassively at the blue-haired girl, who was swatting trainees away like flies with each punch.
“Telekinesis? Not a bad ability.”
0001 clenched his right fist and swung forward, invisible force shaping into five spiral cones that shot toward Yun Ruoxi from tricky angles.
But in midair, Yun Ruoxi pinched them apart with precision.
Meeting her gaze, 0001 spoke evenly, his voice echoing across the battlefield:
“Your opponent… is me, 219!”
“Wow, a live plagiarism right here?”
“‘Your ability is great—now it’s mine.’”
“Classic: The copy-power user, like Yu in Charlotte, Greedy Wolf from Stealing the Star of September, or Celer and Pete in Hero.”
“Isn’t it more like a Sharingan? All eye techniques.”
Just as the chat guessed, [Ability Analysis]
An ability extended from 0001’s ultimate insight, letting him analyze the principles behind anything—including powers—and perfectly copy them once finished.
Taking advantage of Yun Ruoxi being distracted by the others, he had already completed the analysis and copied her ability.
Now, telekinesis was his to command.
Swish!
0001 spread his arms wide.
Telekinetic energy gathered around him, forming countless missiles that rained toward Yun Ruoxi.
Unlike Yun Ruoxi’s habit of manipulating psychic power to grab, strike, or smash enemies up close, he preferred compressing power and firing it at range.
There was no clear superiority between the two styles, but Yun Ruoxi’s telekinetic force was undeniably stronger.
With a single sweep of her hand, her psychic energy surged like a tsunami.
All the missiles shattered instantly, and the nearby trainees were swept away as well.
Boom!
Blue flames surged around Yun Ruoxi, transforming her into a blue meteor as she shot toward 0001.
0001 didn’t flinch; instead, he charged to meet her head-on.
The shockwaves from their flight sent all the trainees on the ground flying.
This was a clash between monsters—ordinary people were barely qualified to watch.
In his deep purple eyes, the oncoming blue light was reflected as the polygons within spun faster.
Suddenly, flames burst from 0001’s body.
He halted abruptly, thrusting both hands forward as blazing fire erupted from his palms.
In a heartbeat, Yun Ruoxi was engulfed.
“That’s… my ability!” trainee 0039 shouted from the ground.
Before he finished, the flames exploded apart under telekinetic force.
Yun Ruoxi emerged unharmed, and from more than ten meters away, threw a barrage of punches at 0001.
Psychic-formed giant fists pummeled him from all directions.
He calmly switched powers, using telekinesis to intercept some of the blows.
At the same time, he suddenly shrank to just twenty centimeters, darting through the air to arrive right in front of Yun Ruoxi.
That was clearly 0003’s ability!
In fact, compared to 0003 and 0039, 0001 wielded these powers even more skillfully.
It wasn’t mere copying—he was optimizing and enhancing the abilities with his own understanding.
“He even copied my ability?”
The white-haired boy burst out laughing. “So by ‘finished,’ you meant copying all our powers?”
“Impressive as always!”
In midair, 0001 instantly returned to normal size in front of Yun Ruoxi, his right fist swelling several times larger as he smashed down with tremendous force.
The sound of her telekinetic shields shattering filled the air.
But Yun Ruoxi still had another shield—a final, ultra-dense psychic barrier.
It was extraordinarily tough.
Protected by it, Yun Ruoxi was slammed hard into the ground, but instantly bounced back, unharmed, to float before 0001.
“Die!”
Yun Ruoxi spat the word, throwing a rapid punch.
Propelled by her immense psychic force, 0001’s telekinetic shield shattered at once.
He shot backward like a broken kite, spinning several times before finally regaining control.
Looking down at the fist-shaped dent in his chest, blood trickled from the corner of his lips.
But his excitement only grew, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.
“Good—
That’s more like it,” he said softly. “The unfinished match on the arena—let’s settle it here and now!”
0001 had never forgotten the humiliation of that day.
But with the camp’s rules and Instructor Behemoth’s warning, he had suppressed his anger and hatred.
Now, there was no better time for revenge.
Even if 219 seemed even stronger than him, he would prove who the real powerhouse was, and who was just a weakling hiding behind a mask of pity.
Bang!
Before he finished, Yun Ruoxi ghosted in again, slamming him with another punch.
She gave him no time to catch his breath.
With a flick of her right hand, vast psychic force seized the tumbling 0001, yanking him back in front of her.
“You… are no longer my match!” Yun Ruoxi enunciated, her eyes burning ever brighter with red light.
“Is… that so?” 0001 forced out a retort through clenched teeth.
The next instant, Yun Ruoxi swung her arm toward the ground, and 0001 was hurled from over fifty meters high, slamming into the ground below.
Dust filled the air as 0001 vomited a mouthful of blood.
But his excitement only grew, the purple light in his eyes turning even wilder.
He struggled to his feet.
His gaze swept across the trainees and fixed on one person, purple light flashing in his eyes.
The dent in his chest healed rapidly, and a massive phantom stage materialized at once.
“Damn, he even stole my ability!” 0002, watching from the sidelines, spat angrily.
Flipping his hands, another phantom stage slammed down.
The two phantoms collided in midair, both exploding in the end.
0001 shot a cold glance, earning nothing but an upraised middle finger.
“My stage shines only for me.” 0002 flicked his bangs.
0001 rolled his eyes, body crackling with electricity as he vanished, reappearing hundreds of meters away.
In the ensuing battle, he switched constantly between copied powers:
Flame, mind control, metallic body, blood manipulation, frost…
But he still couldn’t break through the last, turtle-shell-like psychic barrier protecting Yun Ruoxi.
He was sent flying by her time and again.
If he hadn’t copied a rapid healing ability from trainee No. 0121, he would have collapsed long ago from his wounds.
One viewer’s comment perfectly summed up their fight:
[The super-stat monster crushes the mechanics monster]
With so many abilities, 0001 could easily defeat any other trainee.
But he just happened to face the all-rounder power of telekinesis—and Yun Ruoxi, whose stats were simply overwhelming. No matter how many tricks he had, he couldn’t turn the tables.
It was a pure showcase of stats.
The audience watched Yun Ruoxi pummel 0001, gleefully spamming all manner of mocking comments.
Almost no one sympathized with him.
They all believed his defeat was inevitable—he was just a clown putting on his final act.
Yet, the camera quietly shifted to the monitoring room.
Dr. Forefinger watched the feed, his eyes gleaming as he declared, “0001…He’s analyzing Yun Ruoxi’s Perfect Awakening.”
“He may not be able to directly reach a Perfect Awakening, but his insight and persistence make up for that—he’s forging his own path to perfection.”
“0001 and 219 have a deep grudge. If any other trainee had achieved a Perfect Awakening, it might not have driven 0001 this far—but now, it seems 219 has delivered us a wonderful gift.”
Instructor Behemoth’s face gradually broke into a smile.
