The price to master Beast Intuition is rather high, but Su Xiao feels it’s worth it; earlier when he struck at Sha, her dodge was unbelievably precise.
However, mastering Beast Intuition is not easy.
Whish~
The sound of air being cut reached him, and Su Xiao instinctively wanted to use Counter Shield for defense, but he imdiately restrained this impulse and instead relied on Heart-eye Ability to dodge Sha’s attack.
Sha rushed to Su Xiao’s side, bending her knee to slam into Su Xiao’s side waist; in Su Xiao’s perception, a knee-shaped object was crashing towards him, positioned either at the side waist or the thigh.
This montary misjudgnt led Sha’s knee to hit Su Xiao’s side waist.
A dull pain ca from the internal organs at the side waist; Sha’s way of attacking was too peculiar, her attack seed to bypass defense, causing slight injury to muscles and rib bones, while various organs suffered misfortune.
Organs experiencing dull pain — if it were an ordinary person, they’d already be hunched over by now, but Su Xiao had been tested multiple tis by blood and fire, so instead of bending over, he bent his right leg and arm to shield his body’s right side, although his body was swiftly knocked sideways by a knee strike.
"Too slow!"
Sha’s voice ca from the left side, and as it did, Su Xiao’s brain buzzed as though hit by a train, altering his body’s direction.
In mid-air, with his brain buzzing, Su Xiao reached for his sword hilt, but stopped from drawing it since this wasn’t a battle, making it pointless to unsheathe it.
"Unexpectedly ferocious, but... I admire such ferocity. Only the strong have the capital to survive; the world is cruel."
Sha’s fighting style was completely contrary to Su Xiao’s; she often muttered sothing during battles, a personal habit.
Su Xiao barely stabilized after landing, his vision black while a warm sensation was felt on his cheeks, it’s blood.
Drip, drip...
In the room, the sound of a needle dropping could be heard, only the sound of fresh blood dripping on the ground. Sha vanished, her breathing disappeared, the sound of movent vanished.
"Don’t rely on sound to judge an enemy’s position, that’s worse than Basic Perceptive Power."
Sha’s voice appeared behind Su Xiao, yet a straight punch hamred into his chest, teaching by example.
"You fight often, your Combat Intuition is strong, but compared to individual exploration, the experience summarized by predecessors is richer, obtained at the cost of much blood; following the steps gradually might be foolish, but such experiences are worth referencing."
While Sha spoke, she punched Su Xiao’s shoulder.
"Compared to the brain feeding back an enemy’s attack, using ’Heart’ and body sensations is quicker; the outco of combat is a matter of monts, the brain only needs to think about how to defeat the enemy, and the body is what attacks and dodges, use the body to perceive where my punch is coming from."
Sha’s voice grew more distant in Su Xiao’s ear, not because he had a revelation, but due to being sowhat concussed from Sha’s hits, affecting his hearing.
"Hey, hey, can’t hear anymore? That’s best; see, the previous punch to the head worked."
Sha stopped in place, casually snatched Bubu Wang’s snacks, a bag of chocolate, and tossed a piece casually into her mouth.
"What a weird taste..."
Sha furrowed her brows, spat out the chocolate, used her thumb to flick a chocolate towards Su Xiao.
Even with Sha’s Power Attribute sealed, it’s as high as 80 points, coupled with her unique power usage thod, the chocolate exploded with a sniper bullet’s speed.
Whish~
The chocolate flew past Su Xiao’s ear; involuntarily, he turned his head; compared to a punching fist, this ’unknown’ object’s speed was much slower, and its trajectory was obvious.
"Already have preliminary senses? Then increase the intensity."
Sha poured out all the chocolate; she grasped dozens of chocolates in both hands, swinging her arms to hurl them at Su Xiao.
With a splat, a chocolate hit Su Xiao’s arm; the rest were dodged—not because Su Xiao progressed quickly, but because his Heart-eye Ability was activated.
Su Xiao was surprised to find that dodging attacks with Heart’s Eye was at least 10% faster than using Basic Perceptive Power, aning a tenth.
Don’t underestimate a tenth; in life-and-death struggles, this is heaven and earth difference; if Heart’s Eye has such effects, then how about Beast Intuition’s effect? It must be stronger, given Sha’s strength here.
"Improvents very fast, no, should say you’ve adapted very quickly."
Sha again snatched a bag of dried pineapple from Bubu Wang’s hand, attempting to take a big bite.
"Delicious."
Sha sat cross-legged on the ground, eating dried pineapple while staring at Su Xiao, creating a silent threat to hasten Su Xiao’s familiarity with Heart-eye Ability.
With Heart’s Eye Ability as the foundation, mastering Beast Intuition will be much quicker.
About half an hour later, Sha got up under Bubu Wang’s speechless gaze; this long-legged female creature had stolen many of its snacks; if she weren’t so formidable, Bubu Wang would have bitten her long ago.
Once Sha got up, she vanished instantly from her original position, appearing before Su Xiao.
By this ti, Su Xiao’s vision was hindered and everything was pitch black; under Bubu Wang’s Recovery Aura nourishnt, the aftereffects from taking punches earlier had vanished.
Su Xiao feels wonderful now; though Basic Perceptive Power is sealed, his perception within several ters around him is much clearer.
All around was a white mist, dust particles floated in the air, conspicuous amidst this white mist; he even sensed the slow airflow in the room.
Not only that, everything around was slowing down; including the woman approaching him 0.2 seconds ago, he could feel her heartbeat, her breathing—it’s like she was standing naked before him; the scar on her collarbone, deforming as she raised her fist, her not-so-full chest becoming sothing of a flat due to arm extension.
A fist attack, trajectory straight, target was the face.
Su Xiao turned his head, Sha’s fist swept past his ear, the punch’s wind stirred his black hair.
"Good, you already mastered Perception Advanced Ability, the initial training phase is 10 hours faster than expected, the obstruction can be removed."
Sha stepped back a few paces, looking at Bubu Wang.
"Bring another bag of that thing earlier as compensation, I’ll teach you so good stuff."
Ignoring Bubu Wang and Sha’s ’trade’, Su Xiao tore off the black cloth strip before his eyes, vision resud, Basic Perceptive Power restored.
This ti, instead of relying on Basic Perceptive Power, Su Xiao tried using Heart-eye to perceive the surroundings.
"Quite mystical right? But there’s a lot to endure; using Advanced Perceptive Ability continuously for half an hour—even if your spiritual power is strong—will have side effects; it’s an ability to be activated for short periods in combat, even if fighting for a night and a day, the combined periods of activation won’t exceed twenty minutes."
Sha bared a toothy smile, revealing sharp deadly teeth.
No need for Sha to say, Su Xiao already noticed sothing amiss; as he removed the black cloth strip, his temples started throbbing, brain with a stabbing pain.
"This is a normal reaction; endure the unbearable pain for a few minutes and you’ll get through."
Sha had the privilege of not being affected by such aches—Beast Intuition wasn’t a conventional Perception Ability; despite its potent effect, the process had high mortality, over 99% of Perception Abilities wouldn’t build foundation through perceptive power overexertion—though efficient, leading to more perfect perception—it was too risky, originally forbidden practice in Sha’s world.
