Mind Suppression
When the familiar system beep rang out, Ye Xuan's mind shook abruptly. The mind source core hovering above his mind started its third metamorphosis.
This metamorphosis process was actually very short. In just a few seconds, the weak throbbing sensation in his mind disappeared. Ye Xuan suddenly felt that his mind power was somewhat different, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.
Pleasantly surprised, he immediately returned to his senses and started to check the situation in his mind.
Soon, the demon's mind source core hovering above his mind was reflected in Ye Xuan's probing consciousness. Compared to before, this mind source core had clearly changed quite a bit.
The original purplish black had become a purplish black. In the past, there had been more black than purple, but now there was more purple than black.
In addition, its volume had also changed. However, instead of increasing, it had decreased. At first, it had been the size of a thumbnail, but now it was only the size of a soybean.
Its shape hadn't changed much, though. It was still elliptical and prismatic like a pigeon's egg. Its entire surface had countless refractive surfaces, making it look like a perfectly refracted purple diamond.
Although Ye Xuan was rather surprised that its volume had decreased instead of increasing, he quickly understood after thinking about it for a moment.
Since this was a metamorphosis and its quality and grade had increased, its density and the power of the mind source core would naturally increase accordingly. It was just like compression. Under the circumstances, its volume would decrease instead, which was very normal.
If Ye Xuan wanted its volume to increase again, all he needed to do was accumulate quantity. This sort of accumulation was actually equivalent to an increase in Ye Xuan's own cultivation base.
After investigating for a while, Ye Xuan's consciousness quickly retreated from his sea of consciousness. The reason why he was so anxious was because he was really looking forward to the mental strength skills that he'd obtained from the transformation of his source core.
During the second metamorphosis, Ye Xuan had obtained four types of mind power skills. All of them had been extremely useful secret techniques. If nothing unexpected happened, the third metamorphosis would result in even more mind power skills and even greater power.
With this kind of beautiful anticipation, Ye Xuan immediately gave the order to activate the system. In the next moment, the familiar system prompt sounded in his mind once again.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host! Activation successful! You have obtained the mind power secret technique, Mind Suppression! "
That's it?
After this short sentence, there was no response. Ye Xuan waited expectantly for four or five seconds before he confirmed that he might have been wrong. He had only obtained one mind power skill this time!
In an instant, an extreme sense of loss welled up in his mind. Indeed, the higher the hope, the more the disappointment... was indeed true.
That wasn't right!
As Ye Xuan sighed, he suddenly thought of something. His eyes lit up once again as a thought flashed through his mind.
If I remember correctly, the system beep didn't say that I would obtain a mind power skill. Instead, it said that it was … a secret technique? "
If there wasn't any difference between the two, the system wouldn't have needed to change its explanation.
This meant that the Mind Suppression he had obtained this time wasn't just a mind power skill. It had risen to the level of a secret technique. This was definitely a qualitative leap!
As soon as he thought of this, Ye Xuan grinned as if he had picked up a precious treasure. At the same time, his consciousness couldn't wait to check the details of the Mind Suppression secret technique.
After some investigation, Ye Xuan quickly understood everything.
The so-called Mind Suppression was actually the same as the Cultivation Suppression aura of a human powerhouse, but it was more thorough and overbearing.
When a human cultivator faced an existence with a lower cultivation level than him, if he deliberately released his cultivation aura to form a kind of pressure, although he could suppress his opponent, it would only be a suppression of his physical body. Even if the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, the suppressed side would involuntarily start to tremble. However, compared to the mental suppression secret technique that Ye Xuan had just obtained, it was still more than just a little bit inferior.
This was because the latter directly suppressed the other party on the spiritual level. Furthermore, it was silent. If used skillfully, it could even be used without anyone noticing. Moreover, once the spiritual level was completely suppressed, it was equivalent to controlling the other party's thoughts and consciousness. Whatever the other party wanted to do, it would be done with just a thought.
This kind of effect was on a completely different level from the Cultivation Suppression aura formed by a human powerhouse deliberately releasing his Cultivation Suppression aura.
On the surface, this secret technique and Ye Xuan's slave seal seemed to have the same effect and function, but in reality, this wasn't the case.
The two of them weren't on the same level, so the slave seal was much weaker.
First of all, the slave seal had to be condensed and shot out into the other party's body to control their brain. Only then would it be effective.
The Mind Suppression secret technique was different. It required a slave seal to be condensed. When one wanted to use it, it could be completed in an instant. When one's mind power was extended, they could directly control the other party silently. Basically, as long as the conditions for suppression were met, there was basically no chance of failure.
The so-called conditions for suppression were the second advantage of the Mind Suppression secret technique over the slave seal.
If a slave seal wanted to control a demon powerhouse, it had to be of the same rank. For example, if one wanted to control a black-hole-grade martialist with an eighth-grade cultivation base, they would have to condense at least an eighth-grade slave seal. If the situation was urgent and they didn't have a ready-made eighth-grade slave seal, they could only watch helplessly.
Although the Mind Suppression secret technique also had this restriction, Ye Xuan clearly had an advantage over the other party.
There was only one condition for the Mind Suppression secret technique: the level of one's source core, which was also the level of one's mind power.
Ye Xuan's source core was currently at grade four, which meant that he could suppress anyone below grade four. Although he couldn't suppress anyone above grade four, given his abnormal source core transformation speed, he might be able to in the near future.
Although he could only suppress three grades of demon powerhouses, even if he searched the entire demon race, how many powerhouses with source cores above grade four would he be able to find?
The Demon King was only at grade seven, after all.
Of course, apart from the rigid restriction of source core grade, Ye Xuan's Mind Suppression secret technique also had an elastic effect on the difference in cultivation base between the two parties.
If this difference was too great, it would also affect the effects of the suppression. For example, when the secret technique was unleashed, the other party would only be stunned for a moment before they regained their senses immediately.
This was the only thing that Ye Xuan felt regretful about. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he quickly felt relieved.
After all, if he could ignore the difference in cultivation base and unleash suppression at will, wouldn't that mean that he would be able to suppress the Demon King if he transformed his cultivation base to grade seven within a month?
