"Damn it!" Ning Yu's face was pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He had never felt such intense pain before, as if his body was instinctively resisting the use of his superpower.
He was unwilling to give up so easily, and despite the excruciating pain, he tried to control his powers again and again. However, each attempt was like hitting an invisible wall, relentlessly repelled by the interference waves.
"How could this happen..." Ning Yu collapsed to his knees, panting heavily, his clothes soaked with sweat. His vision blurred, and his body felt completely drained; he couldn't even move a finger.
"Give up, Ning Yu." A voice echoed in his mind, full of temptation. "Give up this impossible challenge, and you still have a chance to keep your superpower and your life."
"No, I can't give up!" Ning Yu roared in his heart. He struggled to stand up, but fell down again and again.
Time passed second by second, and Ning Yu's consciousness began to blur, but he never gave up. He gritted his teeth tightly, his eyes filled with an indomitable will.
“I…I can’t give up…” he murmured to himself, his voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible.
Just then, the image of Mu Xue suddenly appeared in his mind—the woman who always had a smile on her face, yet possessed immense power. He seemed to see her standing in front of him, looking at him with encouraging eyes, and softly saying, "I believe in you, Ning Yu."
“Mu Xue…” A glint flashed in Ning Yu’s eyes. He clenched his fist tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh, but he was completely unaware of it.
"I...I can definitely do it..." he managed to squeeze out the words through clenched teeth, and then...
“…I can do it!” Ning Yu squeezed out the words through gritted teeth. He was like a sapling swaying precariously in a storm, yet he refused to bend his back. Mu Xue's image flashed in his mind—her smile, her encouragement, her trust in him—all of this transformed into a powerful force, supporting him as he got up from the ground.
The excruciating pain continued to gnaw at his nerves like a leech, but he forced himself to ignore it and focused all his attention on his right hand. He mobilized the meager energy within his body, attempting his first supernatural skill move—"Gathering"—again and again.
"Gathering" is the foundation of all supernatural abilities, requiring the concentration of dispersed energy within the body into a single point to generate powerful explosive force. However, under the influence of the interference fluctuations, the energy within Ning Yu's body was like a flock of startled birds, scattering wildly and completely out of control.
He tried again and again, failing time and again. Sweat soaked his clothes, and the excruciating pain nearly made him faint, but he never gave up. He was like a traveler lost in the desert, desperately grasping at the last straw, refusing to let go even when hope was slim.
"Again!" Ning Yu gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, large beads of sweat sliding down his cheeks. He mobilized the last bit of energy in his body, concentrating it in his right hand. However, just as he was about to succeed, an even more powerful interference wave suddenly struck, instantly shattering all his efforts!
"Pfft!" Ning Yu spat out a mouthful of blood, his body collapsing limply to the ground. His supernatural power seemed to have been drained away, vanishing without a trace.
"Is... this how it ends?" Ning Yu's consciousness began to blur. Just then, he felt a warm power slowly flowing into his body, and a familiar voice rang in his ear: "Don't give up, I'll help you..."
