Jett managed to hold on for a full three minutes before finally stopping his training.
The gravity device in the room imdiately ceased its humming, and a faint light once again shone from behind Jett.
Roar!
Following a furious roar, the apex predator of the ancient era—the Spinosauru, descended once more!
This ti, the phantom of the Spinosaurus was much more solid and blinding than ever before.
Jett was on all fours, half-slumped on the ground, his body drenched in sweat, nervously swallowing hard over and over again. It was obvious that the training session had left him extrely weak.
The Spinosaurus phantom behind him had ballooned to over five ters in height, its body length even exceeding ten ters. Its already slender forelimbs had grown three or four tis thicker, while its fingers beca even longer, the razor-sharp claws looking like ten deadly daggers!
The teeth in its mouth, which were originally curved inward, were now even sharper, looking exactly like a downsized version of the black scythes belonging to Fly's Beast Totem!
"Roar!"
The roar of the Spinosaurus echoed through the entire room once more. Suddenly, the gaze of the Spinosaurus phantom locked straight onto Jett, who was right in front of it!
This placed Jett, who was still slumped on the ground, under even more imnse pressure, his sweat dripping down like rain.
"Jett, don't panic, control your mind!" Fly shouted a warning. He recalled the situation when he broke through to the third level; Jett's current feeling was very similar to his back then. Because the essence of a Beast Totem was connected to the Beast Warrior's Sea of Consciousness, it allowed them to accurately sense the Beast Warrior's current state of mind.
If the Beast Totem origin couldn't be thoroughly subdued, it would launch a 'rebellion' when the Beast Warrior was at their weakest. Using more professional terminology, the Beast Warrior would suffer a 'backlash' from the powerful force of their own Beast Totem.
Obviously, Jett had overlooked this. He hadn't completely subdued his Beast Totem essence beforehand, or rather, his Beast Totem origin had rely been feigning submission on the surface. Indeed, since a Beast Totem origin possessed its own consciousness, there were naturally cases where it would deceive its host.
"Ah?" Hearing this, Jett finally snapped out of it, as if waking from a dream.
He was the master of this body, no matter how weak he was right now, there was absolutely no reason for him to cower before a 'guest' like his Beast Totem.
But Jett was ultimately a step too slow. By the ti he realized he needed to adjust his mindset, the Spinosaurus phantom behind him had already opened its massive, bloodthirsty jaws and chomped down toward his body.
Fly was burning with anxiety, but right then, he was completely powerless.
The phantom behind a Beast Warrior was nothing more than an external projection of the Beast Totem essence within their Sea of Consciousness. In other words, it wasn't the Beast Totem phantom attacking Jett's physical body in reality; rather, it was the Beast Totem origin hidden within his Sea of Consciousness launching an attack on Jett's ntal world, and this towering phantom was simply displaying the scene of that attack.
At this mont, Fly and the others had not entered Jett's Sea of Consciousness, so they couldn't offer him any assistance.
The Spinosaurus phantom in reality was ultimately just an illusion, attacking it would be of no use. As for attacking Jett's body? Don't be stupid, that would just be wishing for him to die sooner.
Just as Jett fell into crisis and Fly and the others were at their wits' end, the temperature in the Gravity Chamber suddenly plumted once more. Visible frost surprisingly began to creep up the Spinosaurus phantom, forcefully bringing its movents to a grinding halt.
"This..." Fly was completely bewildered, staring in sheer amazent at the scene unfolding before his eyes.
Even Mr. Carter, Genevieve, and 'Emperor' Valerius were plunged into deep shock.
What shocked them wasn't just that the phantom girl had suddenly intervened and stopped the crisis, but that her attack could directly halt the actions of the Spinosaurus phantom.
Which ant, what she executed was a Psychic Assault!
She bypassed the physical body and reached directly into the depths of Jett's Sea of Consciousness, suppressing the rebellion of the Beast Totem origin!
They watched as the frost grew thicker and thicker on the Spinosaurus phantom, ultimately turning into a massive block of ice that completely sealed it within.

By the ti Jett snapped back to his senses, the crisis had been completely resolved.
He turned his head and looked at the Spinosaurus phantom that had been frozen into an ice sculpture, standing there completely dumbfounded.
Although he had dodged a bullet, his confidence had taken quite a hit.
He ca from a family of warriors and had always prided himself on knowing a great deal about Martial Studies. He thought he had always kept his Beast Totem origin strictly under control, but who would have thought he'd actually get played by it? For who knows how long, his Beast Totem origin had been slowly lying dormant, waiting for the exact mont he was weak to launch a fatal strike!
The end of today's training was precisely the mont when his ntal state was incredibly weak, and it was also the exact mont his Beast Totem origin had been waiting for.
If this Guardian Totem hadn't intervened in ti to save him, he probably would have kicked the bucket already.
He had practically just taken a stroll through the gates of hell.
Jett clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with a deep sense of unwillingness.
"This Skill..." Mr. Carter took a few steps forward, clicking his tongue in marvel as he inspected the Spinosaurus ice sculpture phantom.
"It's simply miraculous. To actually bypass the physical body and directly launch a Psychic Assault." While Mr. Carter praised it, he was secretly terrified.
It was a good thing this Guardian Totem harbored no malice towards them, otherwise, it would have been truly horrifying.
Psychic Assault was an extrely rare mode of attack; it could often catch opponents off guard, allow one to kill above their level, and slay without leaving a trace. The reason many dead Beast Warriors were found without a single wound on their bodies was precisely because they had suffered a Psychic Assault. The cause of death for these victims looked similar to sudden cardiac arrest, making it incredibly difficult even for forensics to determine what happened. Without any witnesses, it would probably be near impossible to even track down the killer.
Too terrifying! Absolutely terrifying! Mr. Carter repeatedly sighed in his heart.
Suddenly, the pupil of the ice-sealed Spinosaurus phantom twitched, its gaze staring straight at Mr. Carter.
Mr. Carter let out a yelp of fright and stumbled back several steps in a row.
"I've got it," Fly suddenly said.
"This phantom girl is a Guardian Totem stationed here, but since she hasn't hard us, I'm guessing her duty is precisely 'to help control suddenly rebelling Beast Totem origin'."
"And since her ability is Psychic Assault, it makes her perfectly suited for this kind of job."
"So, does that an my Spinosaurus Totem is alright?" A hint of pleasant surprise flashed in Jett's eyes.
Even though Beast Totem origin carried the risk of rebellion, not a single Beast Warrior actually hated their own Beast Totem.
Naturally, Jett didn't want his Beast Totem to be destroyed just like that.
"Right," Fly nodded. "It's just that she's only temporarily neutralized the crisis for you. Afterward, it will still be up to you, the host, to truly make the Beast Totem origin submit."
"Yeah, don't worry." Jett patted his chest.
Fly turned his head to look at the phantom girl, then looked down at the unthawed frost on the ground.
Speaking of which, his Roach Matriarch's ability to manipulate lightning fell under controlling the power of nature. So, wouldn't this phantom girl's ability to control frost, despite being a Psychic Assault, also fall under controlling the power of nature?
It seed the principle behind her ability was forcing the surrounding air temperature to drop drastically, with the external manifestation being the moisture in the air condensing into ice. If that was the case, wasn't his power of lightning just concentrating and controlling the positive and negative ions in the air, forcing them to move directionally to generate an electric current?
The rapid movent of positive and negative ions in the air would generate high temperatures and even emit light, just like during a thunderstorm.
Then...
Fly's eyes lit up as a bold idea ford in his mind.
"I could execute fire-attribute and light-attribute attacks by controlling the intensity of the electric current!"
As if he had just discovered a new continent, Fly imdiately raised his fingers, ready to test it out.
Genevieve: "???"
'Emperor' Valerius: "???"
Mr. Carter: "???"
Aside from Jett, who was still dwelling on his Beast Totem origin's recent rebellion and hadn't quite snapped out of it, everyone else sported expressions of sheer disbelief.
"Fly, are you saying you're going to use the lightning attribute to form fire-attribute and light-attribute attacks?"
"Fly, you aren't the first person to co up with this idea. Many have tried it in the past, but the vast majority of them failed."
"Although there might be so commonalities between different attribute attacks, those are rely secondary effects. The inherent attribute of the attack itself doesn't change. Take your lightning attack, for example: even though it produces instantaneous high temperatures and emits light, it's fundantally still a lightning-attribute attack."
"It's a great idea, but it's incredibly difficult to put into practice."
Genevieve said with a polite smile.
"Genevieve is right," 'Emperor' Valerius said coldly. "How could converting between different attributes be that easy?"
"Many years ago, there was a scientist nad Einstein who attempted to unify different forces. He even proposed the 'Unified Field Theory' for it, but he never succeeded before he passed away. If even a great scientist couldn't achieve it after spending his entire life on it, how could you easily pull it off?"
But Fly rely stared off into the distance, seeming to turn a deaf ear to Genevieve and Valerius's words.
He slowly raised his fingers, aiming at the far wall.
The walls of the Gravity Chamber were specially made to withstand powerful attacks, so Fly wasn't worried about damaging the facility.
Crackle, crackle, crackle!
Pale purple and deep blue lightning rapidly coiled around his arm, constantly colliding and sending showers of electric sparks flying outward.
"Fly, you... you're not actually being serious, are you?" 'Emperor' Valerius audibly gulped.
He knew Fly had extrely high talent and could always pull off various miracles.
But...
No matter how incredible he was, it wouldn't be to this ridiculous extent, right?
Yet, completely beyond Valerius's expectations, the very mont his words trailed off, a cluster of bluish-white flas suddenly ignited on Fly's arm. The flas expanded larger and larger, ultimately transforming into a fiery vortex that tightly wreathed Fly's arm.
"Huh!?"
In that instant, 'Emperor' Valerius threw all elegance out the window, his eyes bulging as wide as a bull's.
Mr. Carter and Genevieve even directly cursed out loud: "Holy shit!"
What the hell was going on?
Fly simply murmured softly, "Just as I thought..."
