Chapter 164: Skills
Su Xiao jumped down from the roof and started walking towards Annie after landing smoothly.
Although UPM greatly accelerated Su Xiao, he wasn't used to fighting in the air.
He could only fight well on the ground.
In the air, he could at most change direction with UPM, but that was all — he didn't have any support under his feet and didn't feel like he could dodge to either side at any time, which greatly reduced Su Xiao's strength.
Overall, the UPM was a good escape gear. If someone wanted to adapt to fighting with UPM, then it was necessary to master not only the UPM management skills at a very high level, but also spend a lot of time practicing.
Seeing that Su Xiao really threw the UPM away, the female titan began to slowly retreat.
Eren had already blocked one of the holes. She shouldn't have let Eren block the other two holes, so it would be best if she killed Eren now.
Annie turned around and started moving, looking carefully at Eren in the distance.
*Boom-boom!..*
Dust rose from the titan woman's footsteps, and she didn't even look at Su Xiao.
Annie knew that if she ran, he wouldn't be able to catch up with her. In the end, he took off the UPM.
The gas supply in the UPM was very limited, and as soon as it ran out, the UPM became just a pile of scrap metal.
Annie was fast, but Su Xiao kept up with her.
Su Xiao quickly arrived at her feet and cut the Achilles tendon on one of her limbs.
She almost fell to the ground again, but managed to stop herself and stay on her feet.
A very awkward scene ensued. Su Xiao calmly stood on one of the rooftops and waited, and the female titan couldn't leave, as it would clearly attack her as soon as she moved forward.
Annie understood this, but if she continued to stand still, she would eventually die.
However, she didn't have much choice — her last resort couldn't protect her from his sword. If she was too careless, he would just cut her apart.
Thinking about this, Annie's eyes filled with rage. Although she didn't have very long to live, she wanted to see her family again and see her father.
Thrusting her fists slightly forward and placing her feet at a certain distance from each other, the female titan assumed her exceptional fighting stance.
Compared to the 14-meter-tall titan, Su Xiao, who was only one meter and eighty centimeters tall, looked very small.
But the creature's height didn't always correctly reflect its strength.
Although the titan in front of Su Xiao took up a fighting stance, she looked too clumsy, as her enemy was "a little small" in comparison to her.
Seeing her pose, Su Xiao started circling around her.
The female titan didn't dare open her back to Su Xiao, so she started to keep an eye on her opponent.
After making one lap, Su Xiao's pace suddenly sped up, and the female titan also sped up her turn. After a few seconds, Su Xiao stopped abruptly and rushed towards the female titan.
Su Xiao's move was unpredictable, and although Annie reacted in time, her body's momentum was too great.
Once at her feet, Su Xiao swung his sword.
*Pouf!*
The female titan's leg separated from her body.
The titan's flesh offered no resistance to his sword blade. As long as the angle of his strike was right, there wasn't any flesh that his sword couldn't cut off.
She tried to stay on her feet, but her body was too heavy, so she ended up falling to the ground.
However, during her fall, she tried to hit Su Xiao with her hands.
*Bang!*
Her impact sent dust flying into the air.
Su Xiao was covered in a large amount of dust and dirt. He couldn't see anything because of the dust curtain, but he didn't panic and immediately closed his eyes.
Since his vision was blocked, he could use his heart to sense the surroundings.
When Su Xiao sensed a powerful air flow from his left side, he immediately made up his mind.
Su Xiao's body tilted and he immediately bounced to the side, causing the partially crystallized titan's flesh to fly past his head, but the accompanying pressure ruffled his hair.
He sensed the enemy's attack without seeing it.
This strange feeling allowed Su Xiao to reach a new level.
Just like Sasaki Kojiro said, the outcome of the fight didn't just depend on the eyes.
The smoke and dust had dispersed, but Su Xiao still had his eyes closed.
The female titan was currently paralyzed, but her leg was recovering very quickly.
Seeing Su Xiao standing there with his eyes closed, Annie was a little confused. It was already a surprise that he didn't use UPM to fight titans, but he actually fought it with his eyes closed?
But this was her opportunity, and the female titan raised her fist, wanting to make mincemeat out of Su Xiao.
A huge fist began to fly at Su Xiao, and Su Xiao held a sword in his hand, the tip of which pointed at the ground, and did not move.
The female titan's fist seemed too slow in Su Xiao's perception.
After making two leaps to the side, the female titan's attack ended up missing him.
*Boom!*
Small fragments of rocks and dirt were scattered in different directions.
The blade of the sword calmly blocked all the stones flying at it.
Su Xiao now had a different understanding of the 'discerning heart' skill, and he had some guesses about the skills that could be obtained in Paradise.
Perhaps the skills he obtained in Paradise were like seeds. Improving these skills in Paradise was like watering seeds.
After that, the contractor had to gradually learn this skill himself in real combat.
He didn't just have to mindlessly use the skill he obtained, but also gain a deeper understanding of the skill.
Once a contractor acquired a new skill, they only had a basic understanding of that skill. If the contractor fought the creator of this skill on equal terms, they would never be able to defeat it, but the contractor could comprehend its depth and reach a level of understanding of this skill that was not inferior to the level of understanding of the creator of this skill.
This was the most magnificent part of Paradise.
Previously, Su Xiao only had a general understanding of the discerning heart, but now, he felt as if he was about to fully comprehend it.
However, there were exceptions. Shadow of law skills weren't like other skills. Shadow of law's skills were more like the instincts that had always been with him.
After avoiding Annie's two attacks, the female titan felt somewhat awkward.
Her fists started hitting Su Xiao randomly and quickly...
*Boom-boom-boom*...
The ground in front of the female titan started to turn into a mess, but Su Xiao easily avoided her attacks.
After nearly two minutes of raging attacks, Annie began to breathe heavily.
However, when the dust and smoke settled, Su Xiao's figure was still standing on the ground.
His clothes weren't damaged at all and he stood there calmly.
— The attacks were very strong. Several times I found myself on the edge.
Seeing Su Xiao who wasn't injured, the female titan's pupils narrowed.
By this point, her body had fully recovered, and Annie immediately got up and started running away.
She couldn't fight such a monstrous person. She wasn't even able to hurt this person.
Along with a bright cold flash, the female titan's legs were chopped off and she fell to the ground with a crash.
The mouths of the members of the training corps on the roofs were slightly open, and the swords of some of the recruits even fell on the tiles.
The scene they witnessed was somewhat unbelievable.
They never thought that humans could be so powerful.
