Ma Xiaoling was silent for a moment.
She spoke, "Of course not, it’s your problem."
Ren Zhong: "What could be my problem?"
"Just now, you used something a level beyond Five Senses Resonance. This exceeded the underlying data architecture capabilities of Fourth Level Virtual Reality, which forcibly logged us both off."
"Combat Intuition, also known as the Sixth Sense."
Upon hearing this, Ren Zhong pondered for a while.
Ma Xiaoling was right.
At that moment, he really didn’t go through much information assessment or weighing process for that strike, his mind was a blank slate, suddenly enlightened, and his body reflexively moved as if it were similar to the natural blink reflex when something is about to hit you.
Ren Zhong: "Teacher Ma, could you explain the Sixth Sense in detail?"
Ma Xiaoling: "The so-called Sixth Sense is built on the brain’s ability to process vast external information in a fuzzy manner. It’s the brain’s capacity to make instantaneous correct decisions that seem thoughtless but are actually pre-simulated at the subconscious level."
"If you’re not wearing the exoskeleton, you’d have some perception when someone is secretly watching you from behind. But once you don the armor, even as a Fourth Level warrior, without activating the armor’s built-in rear vision, you’d be clueless if someone was stalking you from behind. Like being inside a house reading, no matter how sensitive you are, you wouldn’t know if someone was outside on the street, peering through the walls at your house while inwardly greeting your family."
"For normal Mechanical Warriors, only when parameters exceed the Fourth Level limits, the armor scanners’ performance further enhanced to model the environment precisely, and the data transmission capacity with the brain’s neural connections significantly improved, could they acquire Combat Intuition."
"But for the Ma Family, our brains are exceptionally sensitive, forming direct pathways with the Five Senses Resonator links, so I achieved a Perfect Level Five Senses Resonance even in my Fourth Level stage, which could catalyze an emerging Sixth Sense. Yet you... you’ve already achieved it."
After listening, Ren Zhong understood slightly, "Got it."
Opposite him, Ma Xiaoling: "Ren Zhong, just admit it. You’re really my dad’s illegitimate child, aren’t you? You’re my brother, right? What’s your mother’s, um, aunt’s name? Where is she from? What’s her background?"
Old Comrade Ma’s lifetime of prestige, seemingly about to be ruined by himself.
What in the world is more socially devastating than having an illegitimate child exposed by one’s own daughter?
Clearly, things weren’t like that.
How should he explain this?
But he quickly thought of a reply.
"Wait, Teacher Ma, you mentioned you need to achieve a Perfect Level Five Senses Resonance to develop a Sixth Sense, right?"
"But I just reached Fourth Level last night. Even with an output power 500 kilowatts higher than yours, I’m still no match for you, and I haven’t achieved a Perfect Level Resonance, yet I’ve already acquired the Sixth Sense. We actually... aren’t the same. Teacher Ma, do you get what I mean?"
"Ah! Is that so? Uh... goodbye!"
Ma Xiaoling abruptly ended the communication and vanished.
The illegitimate child joke seems to have been brushed aside, though it seems Teacher Ma suffered another blow.
She might realize that the Ma Family isn’t as unique as she always believed.
Who knows which blow is stronger.
Anyway, after a night of intense training, Ren Zhong’s mastery of the new Fourth Level state improved significantly, confirming that he too has Combat Intuition, such an out-of-syllabus ability.
His parameters continue to rise.
He feels more confident about the upcoming duel with Lin Wang in a few days.
On the morning of the 59th day, Lin Wang, who had long been down on his luck, finally received good news that pleasantly surprised him.
The new team member Ren Zhong, whom he had given up on, had miraculously overcome the psychological shadow left by the Dream Weaving Worm and recovered!
