Chapter 918: Practice
The price of mastering beast intuition was high, but Su Xiao felt that it was worth it.
Even now, he was reacting much better to Sha attacks.
However, it wasn't easy to master the beast's intuition.
*Whew~*
Su Xiao subconsciously wanted to create a barrier to protect himself, but he held back the impulse and relied on the ability of the discerning heart.
Sha bent her knee and hit him squarely in the side.
Su Xiao felt like she wanted to kick him, but this small mistake immediately made him realize how wrong he was.
A dull pain began to radiate from all of his internal organs.
Sha's attacks were too special and seemed to ignore any defense. Right now, Su Xiao's bones and muscles weren't damaged by her attacks, but his internal organs were suffering for everyone at once.
Trying to ignore the pain, Su Xiao bent his right leg and right arm to block the new attack, however, in the next moment, his body quickly flew to the side due to the new strike.
— Too slow! Sha's voice came from the left.
When her voice rang out in Su Xiao's head, it was as if he had just been hit by a train.
Su Xiao's head buzzed, and out of habit, he placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. He wanted to pull it out, but eventually stopped.
This wasn't a battle, so there was no point in pulling him out.
— I appreciate this kind of training. Only the strong have the resources to survive easily. The world is cruel.
Sha's fighting style was the exact opposite of Su Xiao's. When she was fighting, she would often mutter something.
As soon as Su Xiao stabilized his stance, he suddenly stopped hearing anything but the same sounds.
*Drip-drip ... drip-drip...*
The only sound in the room was the sound of blood dripping on the floor.
Sha was gone. Her breath was gone, and she didn't even seem to move.
— Don't judge your opponent's position by sound. This is the worst method to detect the enemy, much worse than normal perception, " Sha's voice suddenly rang out from behind Su Xiao, but her fist ended up hitting Su Xiao's chest directly.
This lesson was obvious.
— You've fought a lot and have strong fighting instincts, but compared to the experience you've accumulated over the decades, it's nothing. My experience has been gained at the expense of the lives of countless people. It's stupid to follow it step by step, but you can't ignore it, " Sha said as she slapped Su Xiao again, but this time on the shoulder.
— It is better and faster to use your heart and body to sense and avoid attacks than your brain. Winning or losing a battle is only a matter of seconds. The brain should only think about winning while the body attacks and dodges. Use your body and feel my fist, " Sha's voice kept getting farther and farther away, and it wasn't that Su Xiao had an epiphany, but that he was slightly concussed due to Sha's attacks.
— Hey, hey, can't you hear me? Well, that's better. Let's see if my punch to your head worked, " Sha stopped in her tracks and picked up some Bubtney snacks.
In his paws he held a bag with some special treats.
After looking at the strange-looking candy, she casually popped it into her mouth and immediately blurted out — "What a strange taste ..." Frowning, she spat out "candy", grabbed it with two fingers, and threw it in Su Xiao's direction.
Even though the Sha's true powers were sealed, even so, all of its stats were equal to 80 points.
Combined with her unique method of using energy, this candy shot at her target with the speed of a sniper bullet.
The candy flew past Su Xiao's ear.
Compared to her fist, the speed of this strange object was much slower, however, and the trajectory of the attack was more obvious.
— Have you already started to understand something? After saying that, Sha picked up a handful of candy and threw it at Su Xiao.
One of them hit Su Xiao's hand, and he was able to dodge the rest of them.
He was only able to achieve this because of the activation of the discerning heart.
Thanks to this skill, according to his senses, he reacted to her actions about 10% faster.
Don't underestimate the difference. In a battle, one tenth of a second could decide who would survive and who would die.
If his skill already showed such a difference, then how strong was the beast's intuition back then?
— You're progressing fast, no, you're more likely to adapt quickly, " Sha said, and snatched some dried pineapple candies out of Bubtney's bag.
She popped one into her mouth and nodded. After that, she sat cross-legged next to Bubtney and started eating dried pineapples, staring at Su Xiao intently.
It gave off a silent sense of menace, which should encourage Su Xiao to become more familiar with his old ability.
With the help of his skill and external stimulation, he would be able to master the beast intuition faster.
After about half an hour, Sha stood up under Bubtney's displeased gaze.
This woman dared to take his favorite treats away from him. If she wasn't so good at beating people up, Bubtney would have bitten her long ago.
After Sha stood up, she immediately disappeared and appeared in front of Su Xiao.
Everything in front of Su Xiao was still in pitch darkness, but due to Bubtni's aura, the main damage from her previous attacks had mostly come to naught.
But Su Xiao was feeling very strange right now. Although his perception was blocked, he could somehow sense a couple of meters around him.
There seemed to be an immense whiteness around him, with dust particles floating in it. They were especially noticeable in this vast whiteness. He could even feel the air currents moving slowly in the room.
Not only was everything around him slowed down, the woman who had approached him 0.2 seconds ago was giving herself away with her heartbeat and breathing.
Sha was standing in front of him. The scar on her collarbone suddenly deformed as she raised her hand.
Her chest also looked like a warped runway.
She wanted to hit him right in the face in a straight line.
Su Xiao turned his head, and Sha's fist brushed against his ear, and a gust of wind whipped his black hair.
— Very well, you've mastered an advanced way of using your perception. You did it 10 hours faster than I expected. You can take the blindfold off, " Sha said, and took a few steps back to look at Bubtney. "One more bag of those things and I'll teach you a couple of good tricks.".
Ignoring the deal between Bubtni and Sha, Su Xiao removed the blindfold from his eyes.
His perception immediately returned to normal.
But Su Xiao didn't immediately rely on his perception.
He tried to take in everything around him with that gaze.
— If anything, even with your power, you can't use this perception for more than half an hour. You should only use this perception during combat and only at critical moments. Remember, if you fight day and night, you must not use this ability for more than twenty minutes in total, " Sha said, and grinned, revealing her sharp fangs.
But even without her reminding him, Su Xiao sensed that something was wrong.
When he removed the blindfold, his temples began to throb and his head tingled.
— What you're feeling right now is normal. The pain will increase, but it will disappear in a few minutes.
This advanced way of using perception wasn't a normal ability. Although this method was very powerful, it was very difficult to comprehend, plus it spent a lot more energy when using it, but all this was more than compensated by an incredible perception of the environment.
In the Sha world, however, it was forbidden to try to comprehend this method of using perception.
