My stats are higher than yours!!

The answer is that they are naturally gifted, have good physical strength, and recover quickly. Anyway, it only adds to their base stats, so it's no different from being naturally strong.

"Doing something bad?"

Xia Yanxin seized on the key words, then fixed her gaze on him and asked, "Hey, let me ask you something. When we were chatting earlier, why couldn't I sense that you were planning something bad? Did you use some kind of ability to break my intuition? Or is there something wrong with my intuition?"

"Your feeling is right, but that feeling can be deceived."

Bai Shuodong crossed his arms in front of him, looking thoughtful, and continued, "Intuition is something that gives an answer that goes straight to the root, an absolutely correct answer, but it is just an answer without a process."

"What's the meaning?"

"Then let me ask you, did I hurt you?"

Bai Shuodong then asked.

"no."

Xia Yanxin shook her head.

"Do I have bad intentions towards you?"

Bai Shuodong asked again.

"Have."

Xia Yanxin nodded affirmatively.

That's prejudice.

Bai Shuodong leaned back and then continued with a smile, "What I did was to your advantage, without any malice. I just enjoyed watching you suffer during the massage. That doesn't mean I have any ill intentions towards you, so your intuition won't detect the problem."

"Is it still possible to do this...?"

Xia Yanxin murmured to herself.

“Yes, so I suggest you don’t rely entirely on your feelings. Relying on intuition is indeed easy, but you might also be deceived. You’d better be careful in the future,” Bai Shuodong said.

"Okay, thanks."

Xia Yanxin nodded deeply.

She sat there, then suddenly opened her eyes slightly, as if she had thought of something. She just sat there blankly, staring into the void not far away, her eyes seemingly locked on that spot, her body motionless.

"Huh? What's wrong with her...?"

Bai Shuodong looked at her with a puzzled expression, then walked to Xia Yanxin's side, observed her carefully, and gently waved his hand in front of her. However, her gaze did not fall on his hand at all; she just stared blankly into the void.

What's wrong with her?

Surely it wasn't a sudden epiphany?

"..."

After a moment's thought, Bai Shuodong walked to a slightly farther location and quietly called the head of teaching, Lao Bi, describing Xia Yanxin's appearance and inquiring about the specific situation.

Soon, Lao Bi's voice came from the other end of the phone.

“I see. Then she may have had an epiphany. Don’t disturb her for now. This is a very important opportunity for her. I will come over to observe her later to avoid any safety issues. You keep a close eye on her and don’t let anyone disturb her.”

"Ok."

Bai Shuodong hung up the phone, and his gaze toward Xia Yanxin gradually became complicated.

I just gave her a massage and said a couple of words, how did she suddenly have an epiphany? Is epiphany really that simple?

This monster!

and many more...

She looks like she's drooling.

Bai Shuodong narrowed his eyes slightly, a wicked smile appearing on his lips. He then took out his phone to take pictures, carefully capturing them from various angles to leave her with a deep and dark history.

quack quack!

This is the price for having an epiphany right in front of me!

I'm definitely going to keep your ugly photos in my album! Hahahaha!

Not only that, I'm going to turn your ugly photos into memes, add text to them, and then casually send them out during chats! Hahaha!

Then, Bai Shuodong recalled the scene of his battle with Xia Yanxin in the projection earlier that afternoon. The movements and feelings when he drew his gun kept replaying in his mind, and the image of Xia Yanxin wielding her greatsword in battle also became clear in his mind.

Suddenly, he felt as if he had grasped the core of the matter, and everything connected.

The battle scenes became clearer, the battle strategies became clearer, and he thoroughly understood the basics of the weapons.

In that case...

[Hint: Congratulations on successfully learning Greatsword Skill Level 1]

Ok?

Why is it a greatsword specialty?

...

(PS: I accidentally fell asleep while updating yesterday, so sorry for the late update)

Chapter Twenty-One: Numerical Values, First Glimpses

Good news, I've figured it out.

Bad news, things have gone wrong.

Bai Shuodong looked at the greatsword's special feature, his expression unusually melancholy.

Theoretically, this should be because the pressure of battle at that time was too great. He would subconsciously observe the opponent's fighting style, think about how the opponent would fight, and then make a response.

I didn't understand it before, so I didn't comprehend it. Now that I do, I've grasped the greatsword's special ability.

There was no way around it; Xia Yanxin's projection combat was too oppressive. Without some prediction, it was impossible to fight. Paying attention to and analyzing the opponent's actions was unavoidable.

"So, in actual combat right now, I rely solely on prediction, without any power techniques, and my weapon usage skill proficiency level is only level 1? If I practice weapon usage skills further, wouldn't my proficiency level increase rapidly?"

Bai Shuodong's expression was somewhat strange.

It's important to understand that this was achieved without using any temporary greatsword-type skills; he relied solely on his combat talent analysis to reach this level.

The pressure of combat is too great, and the types of weapons being used in combat are different, so this situation can indeed occur. If you want to improve your spear skills, it is best to find a projection that uses a spear to practice with.

"Ding!"

The phone notification sounded.

Bai Shuodong glanced at the message; it was a text message sent by Lao Bi after he arrived. He was probably worried that knocking or ringing the doorbell would disturb Xia Yanxin inside.

Open the door to welcome them.

"Crack!"

The training room door opened, and Lao Bi immediately glanced inside, his gaze settling on Xia Yanxin. He then patted Bai Shuodong on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You did a good job. She really had an epiphany. If we had interrupted her because she didn't recognize him, it would have been a big problem."

"Sigh, I'm a little envious. I wish I could have an epiphany like her, so my skill level could improve quickly, right?" Bai Shuodong sighed.

"How is it now?"

"Don't even mention it. I recently wanted to switch to marksmanship, and when I went to the training room, I found that Xia Yanxin had already opened it for me, letting me fight her projection, and it was a projection that completely replicated her strength."

Bai Shuodong sighed, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"It's normal if you didn't gain anything. You've contributed quite a bit this time. How about I open another room for you and give you 10 hours of free training time?"

Old Bi said with a smile.

For him, Xia Yanxin's breakthrough was the most important top achievement.

It's important to know that even the most outstanding warrior-type genius in the history of the Psionic Academy only reached level 6 in skill before entering the Spirit Realm Trial. If Xia Yanxin continues to break through, she will be able to break the Psionic Academy's historical record from a hundred years ago.

This is a top-tier achievement that will go down in history!

"It's not like I gained nothing at all; there was a little bit. I've now raised both the Greatsword and Long Weapon specializations to level 1. It will take some time to mature before I can continue to improve them."

"...How long did it take you?"

"It took about three or four hours, most of which was spent recovering. That guy's projected combat power was too strong. He could basically knock me back to the rest area in just a few moves. Fortunately, there is a healing aura here, so the recovery speed is relatively fast. Otherwise, the speed of skill improvement would be reduced." Bai Shuodong replied.

Of course, this is the combined time for comprehending both specialties. If we only consider the long weapon specialty, it only took him half an hour to comprehend level 1.

This is the numerical value of cultivation speed!

What beautiful numbers!

"Three or four hours?"

Old Bi exclaimed in disbelief. Because Xia Yanxin was right next to him, he kept his voice very low, but his expression was completely different at this moment.

He stared intently at Bai Shuodong, as if trying to find any trace of lying on his face, while continuing to ask, "Wait, you didn't choose a greatsword training weapon before, did you? What's the deal with the greatsword specialization? How did you come to understand it? Don't lie."

"Um..."

Bai Shuodong scratched his head, looking embarrassed, and said, "Because Xia Yanxin's projection is too strong, I have to keep an eye on her movements at all times and predict her movement trajectory and attack route. Otherwise, I can't fight at all and will be defeated in just a few moves."

"And then?"

"I observed carefully, and then sorted out the logic, roughly figured out how to use the greatsword, when to fight and how to use it, and then my skill level automatically increased to level 1."

Bai Shuodong spread his hands, tilted his head slightly, and said helplessly, "Actually, I've never used a greatsword before, and I didn't know it was so easy to comprehend."

'I've never even used a greatsword.'

'I didn't realize it was so easy to grasp.'

Those two sentences were like two heavy hammers striking Lao Bi's heart. He staggered two steps, then asked, "Then why did your skill level improve so slowly before? Did you suddenly realize something?"

"Perhaps it's because a longsword isn't suitable for me?"

Bai Shuodong thought for a moment and then said.

"..."

Old Bi paused briefly, then took out his phone to text a friend, saying, "Come out with me, I'll have someone else keep an eye on her."

"Oh."

Bai Shuodong nodded, then asked, "I accidentally broke a training spear because I was fighting too hard during training. You won't mind, will you?"

"A training spear that has been used to the point where its skill level has been raised to level 1... it has successfully completed its mission," Old Bi said, giving him a deep look.

...

In another training room

Old Bi casually picked up a standard-issue rifle, looked at Bai Shuodong opposite him, and said, "Let me personally confirm whether what you said before is true."

"no problem."

Bai Shuodong assumed a fighting stance, activated Lion's Eye, and locked his gaze on Lao Bi.

At the same time, the disintegration marks left on the training spear were quietly triggered, and the training spear, which had been placed in a hidden corner, quietly shattered and disappeared into countless tiny specks of light.

[Hint: Gunnery skill channel has been obtained]

Bai Shuodong glanced at the skill effect: skill level 6, duration half an hour.

Is it the same as before?

That's fine too.

"Are you ready?"

Old Bi stepped forward, slowly raised his gun, and assumed a standard starting stance. He said, "You say you are good at pushing your limits in high-pressure environments, so I'll give you that chance to see what your true level is."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Bi flicked his wrist slightly. The movement was small, but the force it released was extremely strong. The tip of the spear pierced out a sharp arc, like a dragon emerging from the sea, and stabbed towards Bai Shuodong.

"clang!"

Bai Shuodong sidestepped and raised his gun to block, narrowly escaping the attack. A little cold sweat trickled down his forehead. He could feel that Lao Bi was displaying very strong speed and power at this moment, with an overall strength close to that of Xia Yanxin's projection in the training room earlier.

Was it intentional control?

'Interesting, very interesting!'

Bai Shuodong's lips suddenly parted into a wide grin, his smile radiant, his blood seemed to be burning, and power surged continuously from within his body.

He laughed, he brandished his spear, and he thrust his spear at the head of the teaching department without reservation.
