Chapter 911: Intuition (Fourth Update)

After the first time she overdrawn her perception, Sha felt so miserable that she wished she were dead; at only 17 years old back then, she had cried until she was a mess.

Su Xiao was feeling the same way now. His brain felt as if it were being pricked by thousands of needles. Whenever his perception touched anything around him, it would transmit a sharp, heart-wrenching pain, and his perception was temporarily unable to be retracted.

However, compared to when he awakened his talent ability, Soul Eater, his current feeling was much better. That feeling back then was truly worse than death, making him want to slit his own throat with a single blade.

Su Xiao leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, and held it in his mouth, motionless.

"Hey? Are you dead?"

Seeing Su Xiao's reaction, Sha stopped chewing her dried pineapple. She thought Su Xiao was about to kick the bucket; Su Xiao's reaction was too abnormal.

"Temporarily... I can't die yet."

Su Xiao exhaled a puff of blue smoke.

"This isn't right."

Just as Sha stood up, Su Xiao raised a hand to stop her.

"Don't come near me, my perception is stinging."

"Perception stinging... that means the side effects of overdrawing your perception have appeared. Your tolerance is not bad."

Sha was somewhat disappointed; she had been looking forward to seeing Su Xiao in such pain that he would doubt his own existence.

"Enduring pain is a form of self-cultivation for becoming stronger."

Su Xiao felt the stinging in his brain gradually receding.

"Disappointing."

"I didn't feel so miserable that I wished I were dead, I'm truly sorry to disappoint you."

Su Xiao had already realized the danger of learning Beast Intuition, but having reached this point, giving up halfway would be unwise.

Time gradually passed. About an hour later, Su Xiao opened his eyes. He had a feeling that the previous overdrawing of his perception had made his perception slightly stronger.

"My perception has become stronger. Is this normal?"

"Of course. After you master Beast Intuition, the growth rate of your perception will be faster. Most people just let their perception grow freely. The risk of doing that is indeed very low, but the final result is that perception cannot keep up with the progress of one's strength. For close-quarters combat, perception is closely related to one's life."

In the previous hour, Sha had eaten who knows how many of Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's snacks, while Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was lying on the ground, wondering about something; Sha seemed to have taught it some kind of technique earlier.

"We can start now. First, you need to know what Beast Intuition is. You can discard the word 'beast'; this was named by the namer according to their own preferences. What you truly need to know is what intuition is..."

Sha began to explain the knowledge related to Beast Intuition, and Su Xiao listened silently.

【Hint: The Hunter has received guidance from the plot character 'Sha' and is obtaining information related to 'Beast Intuition'...】

【Guidance in progress...】

【Hint: Detected the buff effect 'Alice's Gift'. The Hunter's efficiency in mastering Beast Intuition has been greatly increased.】

Sha had said one thing earlier: "With the help of that bitch Alice, you will be able to master these skills very quickly."

Facts proved that Sha had not lied. Amplified by 'Alice's Gift', Su Xiao's train of thought was much clearer, and his ability to learn Beast Intuition was greatly enhanced.

Two hours later, Su Xiao already knew what Beast Intuition was. This was a type of ability similar to the Mind's Eye, but its efficiency far exceeded it. If the Mind's Eye was using the 'heart' to feel, then Beast Intuition was using instinct + perception + the body to sense an enemy's attack.

Intuition is very different from basic perception. The range of basic perception is very large; if Su Xiao perceives in one direction, he can even perceive hundreds of meters away. The initial distance of intuition is only eight meters. Increasing the skill level of intuition will not increase this range much. Sha's Lv. 59 Beast Intuition only has a perception range of sixteen meters.

If a high-speed bullet were flying in from 500 meters away, if he used basic perception to sense it, the probability of Su Xiao dodging it would be 6%–8%. Using intuition, the probability of successfully dodging would be at least 90% or more.

That's right, it's that exaggerated. From basic perception sensing the bullet to feeding it back to the brain, and then to Su Xiao making a dodging movement, there are many processes involved, and these processes take up too much time. Even if he senses it 500 meters in advance, whether he can dodge it is not certain.

Although the range of Beast Intuition is only eight meters, the moment a bullet enters within these eight meters, Su Xiao will instinctively make a dodging movement. Regardless of whether his subjective consciousness is alert at that time, his instinct has already prepared the best dodge.

A long perception distance does not mean a faster reaction to dodging. Moreover, the biggest feature of intuition is that it is an all-weather active skill.

That's right, it's all-weather. If the burden of activating the Mind's Eye on perception is 100, then the burden of activating intuition is only about 1–3.

As long as Su Xiao masters Beast Intuition, under the condition of equal strength, it is basically impossible for an enemy to sneak attack him. In Sha's words, people who master intuition will only die in fierce battles, not in sneak attacks. This statement has some exaggeration, but it also shows how strong the early warning ability of intuition is.

When activating Beast Intuition, there is no need to deliberately perceive, which gives Su Xiao more mental energy. When not in battle, it can save physical strength and will not cause mental fatigue due to mental tension.

Attacks that cannot be dodged with intuition cannot be dodged even with full perception. It is better to save mental energy to make thinking more flexible during battle.

The more he understood the Beast Intuition ability, the more Su Xiao wanted to master it.

"The verbal explanation is basically like this. Next is to let you awaken Beast Intuition. Having progressed to this point, and with the help of that bitch Alice, awakening Beast Intuition is not difficult. What you need to worry about most is not losing your life during the process of awakening intuition."

Sha handed over the black cloth strip. Su Xiao's eyelids drooped, he cursed 'fuck' in his heart, and silently put on the blindfold. He suspected that this woman might have been locked up for too long and had developed a sadistic tendency.

The wooden door was tightly closed, and sounds of crashing and dull impacts came from inside the room.

Three sneaky figures were squatting outside the wooden door.

"Big Brother, they've been inside for several hours. Brother Bai Ye is truly enduring."

"Tsk tsk."

"That woman is my type—wild, with a slender figure, plus those abs. Damn it, Big Brother, do you think I've been cheated on? My heart suddenly hurts so much."

"Stop thinking about those useless things. If it weren't for your loose lips, we would still have hope."

The leader of the National Football Team punched the second brother's head, while the third brother on the side giggled.

Actually, the compatibility between the three members of the National Football Team and Sha did not conflict. Plus, they provided the Wolf Butler's special introduction letter, so Sha had already agreed to trade with the three of them.

But the three members of the National Football Team had just mastered a god-tier skill, and the second brother of the National Football Team couldn't help but be a bit lewd. The leader and the third brother of the National Football Team were the same.

At that time, Sha was so angry she was about to explode. When had this woman ever been 'teased' like this? Therefore, she beat the three members of the National Football Team out.

The three members of the National Football Team were not stupid. After seeing Sha's several abilities, they knew that Sha's abilities were not suitable for them. Most importantly, in terms of soul crystal reserves, the three of them were a group of losers. They couldn't even bear to use the soul crystal (medium) in their team space themselves. Even if they gave it to Sha, the gains would not be of much help to their improvement.

The tactics of the National Football Team were: after the battle started, use a small energy hammer to stun the enemy from a distance, then get close and switch to a large energy hammer. If the enemy luckily pulled away, switch back to the small hammer. The small hammer hits for forty, the large hammer hits for eighty, taking turns to serve the enemy, educating them until they cry for their parents and are bruised and swollen.

Sixteen hours later, in the room where Su Xiao was.

Whoosh~

The wind from the punch blew up Su Xiao's short hair. Su Xiao's eyes were covered by the black cloth strip, but he could still dodge the enemy's attacks.

Sha's fists attacked like raindrops, but Su Xiao swayed his upper body left and right, dodging the fists one by one. What was even more exaggerated was that Su Xiao was quickly twisting a Rubik's cube in his hand, which showed that his attention was not on dodging the attacks, but on the Rubik's cube in his hand.

Noticing this scene, Su Xiao's heartbeat accelerated. Undoubtedly, if Beast Intuition were developed further, the prospects for this ability would be great. What was even more wonderful was that this skill had strong compatibility. His Mind's Eye skill had already disappeared, and a brand-new skill appeared, which showed that Beast Intuition could also be compatible with other perception-type abilities, such as Observation Haki-type abilities. According to Sha's introduction, her Beast Intuition was already compatible with more than 30 types of perception abilities.

"Very good. You have initially mastered Beast Intuition. Because you have the foundation of the Mind's Eye ability, your intuition is much higher than that of a beginner, even if it is just initially awakened."

Sha stopped throwing punches, and the Rubik's cube in Su Xiao's hand had already been solved.

"The trade is over."

Sha flopped onto the bed with a thud.

"Is there a way to increase the strength of intuition?"

"Yes, trade with pure souls."

"Okay."

Su Xiao took out a soul crystal (medium), and Sha's eyes went straight.

Whoosh~

Sha pounced over, Su Xiao subconsciously dodged, and Sha, who had pounced on nothing, was somewhat unhappy.

Su Xiao threw out the soul crystal (medium). He was prepared to increase the level of Beast Intuition, and he wanted to check the attributes of Beast Intuition.
