Ning Yu took a deep breath, suppressing his unease. He knew that mastering power was not something that could be achieved overnight; only through constant practice in actual combat could he truly internalize it. The dangerous area before him was undoubtedly the best training ground.

He strode forward, resolutely stepping into this land shrouded in nuclear radiation. The moment he entered, a powerful sense of oppression washed over him; the surrounding air seemed to thicken, making breathing difficult.

"Is this the effect of high-concentration radiation?" Ning Yu frowned slightly. He could feel this invisible pressure trying to invade his body and disrupt his power.

He tried to activate the mysterious power within him to sense his surroundings, but the feedback was as chaotic as distorted radio waves. His once effortless ability had become somewhat unstable.

"It seems the energy fluctuations here are very chaotic, interfering with my power," Ning Yu thought to himself. However, he did not back down because of this, but instead observed the surrounding situation even more cautiously.

Suddenly, he felt the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly, and then a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart.

"Not good!" Ning Yu thought to himself, and was about to make a move when he saw...

...Suddenly, the ground cracked open, and three enormous mutated creatures burst forth from the earth. Their bodies were covered in a thick layer of keratin that gleamed with a metallic sheen, their thick limbs ended in sharp claws and teeth, and their scarlet eyes stared intently at Ning Yu, radiating a bloodthirsty ferocity.

The sudden attack startled Ning Yu. He reacted quickly, instinctively dodging backward while simultaneously mobilizing the mysterious power within him to form a barrier in front of him.

"Roar!" The roar of the mutated creatures was deafening. They launched a fierce attack on Ning Yu without hesitation. Sharp claws tore through the air, creating a sharp whistling sound, and slammed heavily against the barrier.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Violent impacts rang out one after another. Ning Yu groaned, feeling his blood surging. Affected by the high concentration of radiation, the power within his body fluctuated wildly, and the barrier he had formed flickered, threatening to shatter at any moment.

"Damn it!" Ning Yu gritted his teeth, trying his best to maintain the barrier, but he knew in his heart that this couldn't go on.

Finally, under the relentless onslaught, the barrier shattered, and a mutated creature seized the opportunity to swing its claws and slam them hard into Ning Yu's chest.

"puff!"

Ning Yu spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground. He struggled to get up, but felt as if all his bones had fallen apart, the excruciating pain causing him to gasp.

"Cough cough..." Ning Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with solemnity. He looked up at the mutated creatures that were approaching step by step, and an unprecedented sense of crisis rose in his heart.

He knew he had to find a way out of his predicament as soon as possible, or the consequences would be dire.

"Calm down! Calm down!" Ning Yu forced himself to calm down. He closed his eyes and focused all his attention on the mysterious power within his body.

"How exactly should I control this power?" Ning Yu pondered incessantly. He felt that this power was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, violent and difficult to control.

"No! Not control! It's..." A sudden flash of inspiration struck Ning Yu, "It's fusion!"

He tried to fully integrate his will into this mysterious power, to feel its fluctuations, and to understand its essence.

Gradually, he felt the barrier between himself and this power slowly disappearing, and an unprecedented sense of control arose spontaneously.

"That's the feeling!" Ning Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling with confidence.

When he faced the attack of the mutated creatures again, he successfully used his mysterious power to knock one of them away, but at this time his physical strength was greatly exhausted, and more mutated creatures surrounded him.

Ning Yu looked at the mutated creatures surrounding him, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Use you to test my strength!" Ning Yu didn't back down; he gritted his teeth and persevered, a resolute light flashing in his deep eyes. He skillfully used the surrounding terrain to maneuver against the mutated creatures, sometimes hiding behind boulders, sometimes using the shadows of ruins to conceal his figure. Every attack he launched was precise and effective, wasting not a single ounce of power.

"Roar!" A mutated creature roared and pounced at Ning Yu. He dodged to the side, and at the same time, he gathered a powerful force in his right hand and slammed it into the mutated creature's abdomen.

"Bang!" The mutated creature's massive body was knocked back several steps, letting out a painful howl.

However, even more mutated creatures lurked around them, ready to pounce. Ning Yu's stamina was rapidly depleting, but he had no intention of giving up. In each battle, he constantly sensed the changes in the mysterious power within his body, trying to find a way to break through his limits.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on a withered tree not far away. Although the withered tree had lost all life, a faint trace of life energy still remained on its trunk.

“Natural energy…” Ning Yu’s heart stirred, and a bold idea emerged in his mind.

He took a deep breath, extending his will and trying to resonate with the withered tree. Gradually, he felt a cool aura emanating from the withered tree and flowing into his body, merging with his own power.

"Now!" A glint flashed in Ning Yu's eyes. He mobilized the mysterious power within his body, which was fused with natural energy, and an unprecedentedly powerful energy fluctuation erupted from his body.
