Chapter 910

~8 min read 1,491 words

The cost of wanting to master Beast Intuition is a bit high, but Su Xiao feels it's worth it. When he slashed at Sha with his blade earlier, the other party's dodging was too precise.

However, mastering Beast Intuition is not easy.

Whoosh~

A whistling sound of wind strikes. Su Xiao subconsciously wants to use the Counter Shield to defend, but he immediately suppresses this impulse and instead relies on the Mind's Eye ability to dodge Sha's attack.

Sha rushes to Su Xiao's side and bends her knee to smash at Su Xiao's side waist. In Su Xiao's senses, a knee-shaped object crashes toward him, the position seeming like his side waist, and also like his thigh.

This momentary misjudgment causes Sha's knee to hit Su Xiao's side waist.

A dull pain comes from the internal organs at the side waist. Sha's attack method is too special; the other party's attack seems to ignore defense. Muscles and ribs are not seriously injured, but various organs suffer.

The organs feel dull pain. If it were an ordinary person, they would have curled up their body by now, but Su Xiao has experienced tests of blood and fire time and again. He doesn't curl up, but instead curls his right leg and right arm to block the right side of his body, although his body is flying rapidly to the side due to the knee strike.

"Too slow!"

Sha's voice comes from the left. As the voice comes, Su Xiao's head hums, as if hit by a train, and the direction his body is flying changes.

While in mid-air, Su Xiao's head hums. His hand rests on the hilt, and just as he wants to draw the blade, he stops the action. Now is not the time for combat; drawing the blade is meaningless.

"Unexpectedly fierce, but... I appreciate this fierceness. Only the strong have the capital to survive. The world is cruel."

Sha's combat style is the exact opposite of Su Xiao's. When she fights, she often mutters something; this is a personal habit.

Su Xiao barely lands steadily. His vision is pitch black, and a warm feeling comes from his cheek—it's blood.

Drip, drip...

The room is so quiet that a pin drop can be heard, only the sound of fresh blood dripping to the ground. Sha has disappeared; her breathing has disappeared, and the sound of movement has disappeared.

"Don't judge the enemy's position by sound; that is a more clumsy perception method than basic perception."

Sha's voice appears behind Su Xiao, yet a straight punch slams into Su Xiao's chest. This is teaching by example.

"You fight often, and your combat intuition is strong, but compared to personal exploration, the experience summarized by predecessors is richer. That is something exchanged by countless people with the price of blood. Following the steps is stupid, but those experiences are worth learning from."

As Sha speaks, she hits Su Xiao's shoulder again.

"Compared to using the brain to feedback the enemy's attack, using the 'heart' and body feels faster. The outcome of combat is a matter of an instant. You only need to consider how to defeat the enemy in your brain; the body is the thing used for attacking and dodging. Use your body to perceive where my punch is coming from."

Sha's voice gets further and further away in Su Xiao's ears. It's not that he has had an epiphany, but that he has a concussion from being beaten by Sha, and his hearing is affected.

"Hey, hey, can't hear anymore? That's best. See, the punch to the head earlier was effective."

Sha stops in place and grabs Xiang Bubu Wang's snacks—a bag of chocolate—and tosses one into her mouth.

"What's this strange taste..."

Sha's brow furrows, and she spits out the chocolate in her mouth. She hooks a piece of chocolate with her thumb and flicks it toward Su Xiao.

Even if Sha's Strength attribute is sealed, it is still 80 points. Coupled with her unique method of using strength, that piece of chocolate erupts with the speed of a sniper rifle bullet.

Whoosh~

The chocolate flies past Su Xiao's ear. He turns his head instinctively. Compared to the incoming fist, the speed of this 'unknown' object is much slower, and the attack trajectory is obvious.

"Already have preliminary senses? Then let's increase the intensity."

Sha pours out all the chocolate. She grabs at least dozens of pieces in her hands and swings her arm to smash at Su Xiao.

With a slap, a piece of chocolate hits Su Xiao's arm, and all the others are dodged. It's not that Su Xiao has made rapid progress, but that his Mind's Eye ability has been activated.

Su Xiao is surprised to find that the speed of dodging attacks with the Mind's Eye is at least 10% faster than using basic perception in the past—that is, one-tenth.

Don't underestimate one-tenth. In life-and-death combat, this can be called a world of difference. If Mind's Eye has this effect, what about the effect of Beast Intuition? It will definitely be stronger; after all, Sha's strength is there.

"Progressing very quickly. No, I should say you adapt very quickly."

Sha grabs another bag of dried pineapple from Xiang Bubu Wang's hand and tries taking a big bite.

"Delicious."

Sha sits cross-legged on the ground. While eating the dried pineapple, she stares at Su Xiao. She is creating a silent sense of threat to stimulate Su Xiao to become familiar with the Mind's Eye ability faster.

With the Mind's Eye ability as a foundation, the speed of mastering Beast Intuition will be faster.

About half an hour later, Sha gets up under Xiang Bubu Wang's speechless gaze. This long-legged female animal has snatched many of its snacks. If the other party weren't so good at fighting, Xiang Bubu Wang would have bitten her long ago.

After Sha gets up, she disappears from the spot instantly. When she appears, she is already in front of Su Xiao.

At this time, Su Xiao's vision is blocked, and everything in front of him is pitch black. Under the nourishment of Xiang Bubu Wang's recovery aura, the aftereffects of being hit by a few punches have disappeared.

Su Xiao's feeling now is very wonderful. Although basic perception is sealed, his perception of the surroundings within a few meters is clearer.

The surroundings are vast and white, with dust particles floating in the air, which are particularly conspicuous in this vast whiteness. He can even perceive the airflow in the room flowing slowly.

Not only that, everything around him slows down, including the female who approached him 0.2 seconds ago. He can feel this woman's heartbeat, the other party's breathing sound. The other party stands in front of him as if naked. The scar on the woman's collarbone begins to deform due to her action of raising her fist. The chest, which was not plump to begin with, becomes somewhat like an airport due to the spreading of her arms.

Fist attack, attack trajectory is a straight line, attack target is the face.

Su Xiao turns his head, and Sha's fist strikes past his ear, the wind of the fist blowing his black hair.

"Very good. You originally mastered an advanced perception-type ability. The preliminary practice stage is 10 hours faster than expected. You can take off the blindfold."

Sha retreats a few steps and looks at Xiang Bubu Wang.

"Bring another bag of that thing from just now as a reward, and I'll teach you some good things."

Ignoring the 'trade' between Xiang Bubu Wang and Sha, Su Xiao pulls off the black cloth strip in front of him. His vision is restored, and his basic perception is restored.

This time, Su Xiao no longer relies on basic perception. He tries to perceive the surroundings with his Mind's Eye.

"It's wonderful, right? But you're in for it. Continuing to use advanced perception abilities for half an hour, even if your mental power is strong, will have side effects. That is an ability opened for a short time in combat. Even if you fight for a whole day and night, the total time opened will not exceed twenty minutes."

Sha smiles, revealing very sharp canine teeth.

Without Sha saying it, Su Xiao already feels something is wrong. As he takes off the black cloth strip, his temples throb, and a stinging pain comes from his brain.

"This is a normal reaction. You can endure it after a few minutes of agony."

Sha is speaking without feeling the pain. Beast Intuition is not an orthodox perception-type ability. Although the effect is powerful, the practice process has a high mortality rate. More than 99% of perception-type abilities will not lay a foundation by overdrawing perception. Although doing so is more efficient and can possess more perfect perception, the risk is too high. In Sha's original world, practicing Beast Intuition was strictly prohibited.
