Wu Li took four steps backward before he stopped, frowning as he looked ahead at Jon.
In that instant, he distinctly felt a sudden change in Jon's aura; his blood and Qi circulation sped up significantly, and his strength surged momentarily, enabling him to withstand Wu Li's Reverse Sumeru.
Jon's abrupt transformation reminded Wu Li of Siti during the group competition when he faced off against Zhao Lixin. Mid-fight, Siti also underwent a sudden change in demeanor, and his body's capabilities enhanced likewise.
Afterward, Zhao Lixin told Wu Li he suspected that Siti's ability was very similar to a type of self-hypnosis which originated from the Siberian Training Camp and circulated in the underground boxing ring. It involved, within a short period, using self-hypnosis to stimulate the release of certain hormones, such as adrenaline, thereby achieving effects akin to taking stimulants.
