Su Xiao jumped off the rooftop, landing steadily before walking towards Ani.
Although using the ’Three-Dinsional Maneuver Gear’ can increase speed, Su Xiao was not used to fighting while flying around in the air; having his feet on the ground was more suitable.
In midair, there is nowhere to borrow strength, at most using the ’Three-Dinsional Maneuver Gear’ to change direction, which significantly reduced Su Xiao’s slicing power.
Overall, the ’Three-Dinsional Maneuver Gear’ is decent for escaping, but adapting it to a fighting style is not sothing a skill can fill; it requires a lot of ti to practice.
Seeing Su Xiao detach from the ’Three-Dinsional Maneuver Gear’, the Female Titan facing Su Xiao began to retreat slowly; Eren was already blocking one of the exits, and it was imperative that he didn’t block the other two; she had to quickly stop and take him away.
Ani, controlling the Female Titan, gathered strength under her feet, her gaze glancing towards Eren in the distance.
Boom!
The soil beneath the Female Titan burst up as she sidestepped and distanced herself from Su Xiao, then attempted to run at full speed.
Ani knew that once she starts running, that man absolutely couldn’t catch up with her; ignoring that he had already removed his ’Three-Dinsional Maneuver Gear’, the gas within the gear itself was limited, and without it, the gear was just a pile of scrap tal.
Ani’s sidestepping was quick, but Su Xiao’s speed was even quicker.
With a few steps, Su Xiao dashed to the Female Titan’s feet, and before she could stabilize her stance, Su Xiao lifted his hand and sliced through her Achilles tendon.
With the Achilles tendon of one foot severed, the Female Titan’s attempt to run was distorted, nearly causing her to fall again.
The Female Titan’s running speed was indeed fast, but before she started running, her moving speed wasn’t quick; the massive body needed to accumulate forward inertia to accelerate.
Su Xiao was the exact opposite; his burst speed was incredibly fast, but in a long run, he would definitely lose to the Female Titan.
It was an awkward mont as the Female Titan couldn’t get running under Su Xiao’s blockade.
Ani inside the Female Titan quickly realized that if things continued this way, she would die here today.
Ani even doubted whether her last resort could defend against that blade; if not, her fate would be like a dissected lab rat.
Thinking of that situation, the killing intent in Ani’s eyes surged, even though her remaining lifespan was limited; she still wanted to see her family, her father again.
With her fists guarding her front, standing on one leg, with one leg forward and one back, the Female Titan assud her unique combat stance.
Compared to the Female Titan’s fourteen-ter height, Su Xiao, at only one ter eighty, looked very small.
But being tall doesn’t an strong, just like the current Female Titan.
The upper body of the Female Titan bent down, with fist faces aid at the ground; this combat stance made Ani inside uncomfortable, as the enemy was truly ’too small.’
Upon noticing the Female Titan’s posture, Su Xiao began to stride sideways, circling around her.
The Female Titan dared not turn her back to Su Xiao and thus adjusted her direction following his steps.
After making a half-circle, Su Xiao’s pace suddenly quickened, prompting the Female Titan to speed up her rotation as well, but then Su Xiao’s steps suddenly stopped, and he lunged towards the Female Titan with a swift sidestep.
Su Xiao’s sudden movent was unanticipated; it was too late for the Female Titan to turn.
In three strides, Su Xiao charged under the Female Titan’s feet, gripping the Dragon Slash and unleashing a blade.
Slash.
The blade swept across, severing the entire lower leg of the Female Titan.
The Female Titan’s body offered no resistance under the blade of Dragon Slash; as long as the angle was right, no position couldn’t be cut.
Despite losing a leg, the Female Titan struggled to stabilize her stance, but her gigantic body was too heavy to control, and she fell uncontrollably.
The Female Titan wasn’t without defense capabilities; as her body fell, her fists hamred down towards Su Xiao.
Boom!
The Female Titan’s fists slamd down, sending dust flying, and creating two shallow trenches half a ter deep in the ground.
Su Xiao was enshrouded in a cloud of dust, his vision blocked, with everything around a hazy yellow, yet he remained unfazed and closed his eyes instead.
Since his sight was obstructed, he resorted to the ’Heart’s Eye’ to perceive.
With eyes shut, he sensed his surroundings, the wind flowing, and each speck of dust drifting in the air.
A gust ca from the left.
The imminent attack was aid above the shoulder, leading Su Xiao to a quick judgnt in his mind.
Su Xiao leaned sideways as a partially crystallized giant’s lower leg skimd past his head, the accompanying air pressure rustling his hair.
Perceiving the enemy’s attack without sight had opened a new door for Su Xiao.
Indeed, as Kojiro Sasaki had said, fighting isn’t solely reliant on the eyes.
The dust dispersed, revealing Su Xiao standing before the Female Titan, his eyes still tightly shut.
The Female Titan was now in a semi-paralyzed state, her severed leg emitting steam as it gradually healed.
Seeing Su Xiao standing with eyes closed before her, Ani inside the Female Titan was puzzled; not using the ’Three-Dinsional Maneuver Gear’ to fight a giant was already bizarre, and now he closed his eyes?
But this was an opportunity; the kneeling Female Titan raised her fist to strike Su Xiao.
The massive fist, carrying a gust, slamd toward Su Xiao, who held the Dragon Slash, its tip angled towards the ground, with no intention of striking.
From above to the left, the attack ca from the Female Titan’s fist.
In Su Xiao’s perception, the descending punch from the Female Titan seed to slow down as he anticipated her attack trajectory.
With two sidesteps, the Female Titan’s strike missed.
Bam!
The ground’s stone slabs shattered, sending small fragnts flying towards Su Xiao.
With successive slashes of his long blade, he either deflected or shattered the stones.
The impact from fist eting ground sent ripples through his clothing.
Su Xiao developed a new realization of the ’Heart’s Eye’ skill and ford so theories on the skills he learned within Reincarnation Paradise.
Perhaps the skills learned in Reincarnation Paradise are akin to a seed, and upgrading them in Paradise is like watering this seed for rapid rooting and sprouting.
Afterward, Contractors don’t fully understand the skills outright but need to gradually realize them through combat.
One should not rigidly stick to learned skills but instead gain a deeper understanding through combat.
After learning skills, Contractors have a basic understanding, but to reach the level that took the skill’s creator ten or twenty years, one only needs to truly comprehend it in battle, illustrating the power of Reincarnation Paradise.
Su Xiao had already mostly grasped the ’Heart’s Eye’ skill and would soon fully master it.
However, skills have exceptions; skills from the Shadow of Annihilation Law aren’t in this realm—once learned, they’re mastered perfectly and can even be deeply developed.
...
Ani inside the Female Titan couldn’t believe having missed two attacks in a row, leading her to recklessly pound her fists at Su Xiao.
Boom. Boom, boom....
The ground in front of the Female Titan was smashed to bits, but Su Xiao easily dodged her attacks on the broken ground.
After about two minutes of indiscriminate pounding, Ani inside the Female Titan began to pant.
The breeze swept away the dust, revealing Su Xiao’s figure.
Not a tear marred his clothing as he calmly stood before the Female Titan.
"Your attacks are sharp, and there were a few tis I nearly couldn’t dodge."
Seeing Su Xiao unscathed, the Female Titan’s pupils contracted.
Her body had fully recovered, and Ani imdiately controlled her to rise and escape.
No human could fight such a monster, and she couldn’t even hit him.
A bright slice of a blade flashed by, severing half of the Female Titan’s foot, and with a crash, she fell to the ground again.
On the rooftops nearby, mbers of the Training Squad had their mouths slightly agape; so recruits didn’t even notice when the handles of their blades fell to the ground.
What they were witnessing defied belief; they had never imagined a human could be so powerful.
