Hui Shuai Jiao De Xiong Mao
Chapter 20 Senior Apprentice Sister
After Luo Er spoke, she waved her hand, signaling Nan Jin and Zhong Wei to move further away.
Then, she closed her eyes.
The girl placed one hand behind her back and pointed to her brow with the other.
"Come on, attack."
Sweat beaded on Gu Shen's forehead... He hadn't awakened any so-called supernatural power at all. Although the Ruler of Truth was with him, he couldn't possibly take it out and activate it now. This secret needed to be carefully guarded.
How could he attack?
There was no way to attack at all!
Nan Jin silently retreated, hugging her saber, and stood with Zhong Wei, waiting quietly... Gu Shen's powerful talent was only reflected in his files; they hadn't seen it for themselves.
Five seconds.
Ten seconds.
The training ground was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"..."
Luo Er slowly opened her eyes, but there was no disappointment in them. Calm as a mirror, she smiled faintly. "As expected, you can't use it? You seem to be different from what those old guys in the Tribunal guessed... If you were to participate in the assessment now, you wouldn't even get a C grade, let alone an S."
Gu Shen silently clenched his fists.
"Alright."
A hand gently patted him on the shoulder.
Gu Shen's pupils constricted. He hadn't seen how Instructor Luo had moved at all; she had arrived by his side in an instant.
"Don't be discouraged. There are many cases where supernatural powers can't be used due to overdrafting." Instructor Luo chuckled. "Doesn't this just prove... that Zhong Wei and I came to Da Teng with a purpose?"
Gu Shen was stunned.
He looked behind him and saw the smiles of the other two.
They all thought... that he couldn't use his supernatural powers because of "overdrafting"?
"Your fate is in your own hands."
Luo Er turned around and walked towards the weapon rack filled with knives and swords, "The assessment is in fifteen days, and every hour from now is crucial. Now... the special training has begun."
She arrived in front of the massive weapon rack.
Instructor Luo didn't make any movements, but the entire rack suddenly began to tremble. Those sharpened knives and swords floated into the air one after another... It should be known that these alloy-made equipment were extremely heavy, weighing dozens of pounds!
Even untrained adult men would find it difficult to wield them.
These dozens of knives and swords must weigh close to a thousand pounds!
Luo Er slowly turned around. At the same time, the knives and swords turned their blades with her, swimming in the air like fish, swaying their blades and making crisp, clear sounds.
She asked, "Does this scene look familiar?"
Gu Shen looked at Instructor Luo as if he had seen a ghost.
At this moment, Luo Er, within a radius of ten meters, was filled with the edges of knives and swords, much like the scene when he first used the Ruler of Truth and wanted to imitate Nan Jin's saber domain... How did she replicate it? Had the secret of the Ruler been discovered?
"I used 'Profiling'."
She smiled slightly. "I went to the fire scene last night, and I reconstructed a part of what happened there through profiling. I originally wanted to directly determine your supernatural ability through 'Profiling,' but unfortunately, the picture of you in the profiling was too blurry."
"My supernatural ability should be... related to mental power."
Fortunately, the Ruler hadn't been discovered... Gu Shen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He pretended to guess and said slowly.
Chu Ling had mentioned "Profiling"... This was a power exclusive to the mental system. It seemed that Instructor Luo was a mental-type transcendent! His use of the Ruler of Truth was, in a sense, a manifestation of mental power, so this explanation shouldn't reveal any flaws.
The backlash after using the ruler was unusually swift and fierce. Chu Ling said it was related to his insufficient mental power... This special training with Instructor Luo could help him.
Gu Shen took a deep breath and helplessly described his symptoms: "After the fire, I always felt like my mental power was drained... I lay down for two days, but my head was still empty, it was difficult to concentrate, and I often felt a stabbing pain."
Luo Er listened carefully, nodding from time to time.
"Normal phenomenon. Your mental power is too weak... It seems this is an area that needs rigorous training."
She beckoned.
Zhong Wei and Nan Jin both approached.
"Strength, speed, mental power, control... The Tribunal's assessment is actually very simple, it assesses newcomers from these four aspects. No matter which of the three systems, you can get an objective evaluation in this quadrilateral scoring system."
Luo Er suddenly raised her hands, facing away from the empty space of the training ground.
The floating cluster of knives and swords suddenly rioted, and short knives and long swords began to dance without warning.
"Sha sha sha—"
Silver light flashed in the air like snow!
The next moment.
Dozens of targets and wooden dummies standing suspended in the training ground were struck in the ten-ring, heart, head and other vital areas by the swords that roamed the sky... For a time, the sounds of sharp instruments bursting out together, piercing the eardrums.
"Supernatural power essentially has no high or low distinction; there is only a difference in combat wisdom and the degree of development. Newly awakened newcomers, even if they contain a powerful supernatural source within them, cannot perfectly control it."
Luo Er said, "Strength corresponds to power. Speed corresponds to evasion. Mental power determines the length of time you can use supernatural power. And control represents accuracy and distance."
"Having a powerful source of power, but not being able to hit the opponent, even if you try your best, you can only have a fleeting bloom. Such transcendents... can hardly be considered true experts."
A bead of sweat formed on Gu Shen's forehead, slowly sliding down and eventually dripping onto the blade of a dagger that was close at hand.
"Dang."
A crisp, slender ripple of water was shaken out.
The dagger, under the manipulation of mental power, was suspended in front of his cheek, and the invisible coldness almost pierced his cheek and penetrated into his bones.
This was... the real meaning of a monster.
To control dozens of knives and swords at the same time, what a powerful mental power this was!
This was not a nihilistic sword intent, without weight...
Moreover, unlike his frenzied killing on the rooftop, targeting the same target... Every sword wielded by Instructor Luo accurately pierced the target. The most terrifying thing was that she didn't use her vision to assist in aiming at all!
Obviously, this was also a kind of application of mental-type transcendence. She could see the world behind her, and her "gaze" was sharper than an eagle.
Gu Shen took a deep breath. He laboriously extended two fingers and moved away the dagger that was currently suspended in front of his face.
This dagger was probably only one centimeter away from piercing his skin.
Gu Shen knew that if he had just trembled, even just a little, the blade would have drawn blood.
He didn't feel fear, only... amazement.
This time, when Gu Shen looked at Luo Er again, he seemed to see the powerful soul, which was awe-inspiring, carried within this seemingly thin body.
Like a mountain, like an abyss.
The previous preaching about the strong was actually somewhat empty and weak.
But Luo Er said it.
It was so right, so correct... Because she was a true expert.
With a "buzz," the dagger slowly flew up and came into Luo Er's palm.
"Want to learn?"
"Call me 'Senior Instructor'," she smiled, "and I'll teach you."
"...Senior Instructor!"
Gu Shen nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "From today on, you are my own senior instructor!"
