Thus, the superpower user was quite nervous at this moment; no one wanted to be shot for no reason.
He walked into the courtyard and said with a grimace, “I feel like my reaction speed has increased, but surely not to this extent…!”
Before he could finish his sentence, he already had a terrifying feeling in his heart.
The air was pierced by something flying at high speed, a bullet carrying enough kinetic energy to obliterate a human body was incoming.
The sound of the gun did not reach his ears in time before the bullet almost touched his abdomen.
Shiyu Lianyi didn’t even bother looking for the “furthest distance”; he directly chose a nearby high point and initiated the sniper attack at a moment entirely unexpected by Gongsun Ce!
A bomb seemed to explode in the gray-haired young man’s mind, and instantly, he was devoid of any thoughts.
His eyes couldn’t see the bullet, his body couldn’t move fast enough, and his nerves couldn’t keep up with the rapidly unfolding events.
However, another sensation emerged just before the injury occurred, a sensation from the depths of his soul.
He followed this extremely sensitive feeling and mobilized his superpower in a span of time so brief that even he was unaware of its length.
Thus, the belated gunshot whipped through the air with a piercing howl, and a large swathe of white fog-like sonic boom appeared in front of Gongsun Ce.
The bullet, flying at supersonic speed, was halted a moment before its mission was completed, revealed under the control of telekinesis to morph into an ordinary droplet of ink.
Cold sweat dripped from Gongsun Ce’s forehead.
After calming down for a good while, he finally turned around and said, “…
it seems fast enough.”
He saw Yan Qi also holding a pistol, its muzzle flashing with fire just as he was settling down.
That son of a bitch was using live rounds; the bullet was heading straight for his brow!
This time, the superpower user instantly flattened the bullet out of thin air and shouted furiously, “Is this ever going to end?!”
Yan Qi lowered the gun’s muzzle and rarely offered praise, “Not bad.”
An hour later, the three of them returned to the room.
They conducted a series of tests afterward, and the conclusions were as follows.
Gongsun Ce’s range of abilities and maximum output hadn’t changed much, but his reaction speed and precision control of his superpower had significantly improved compared to before.
Now, he also possessed protective abilities against ultradistanced attacks in his normal state and could perform more intricate tricks.
On the other hand, the maximum output of his white matter had increased, but the speed of mobilization had essentially stayed the same.
“I think I can now, with my eyes closed, simultaneously manipulate a dozen threads to thread through the eyes of needles, maybe even more,” Gongsun Ce seriously asked, “Is the Spirit Illumination Realm’s Impermanence Skill really that powerful?”
Shiyu Lianyi thought about the possible consequences after being honest and believed his friend might become overly inflated with pride.
He sincerely felt that being this guy’s teacher or senior was not an easy task, at times tempted to appease him with a few words…
but regretfully, seriousness was necessary on official matters.
“Spirit Illumination Realm is just the entry level of the Impermanence Skill.
What Spirit Light can do is invigorate a cultivator’s spirit, boost physical strength, enhance intuition, and improve reaction speed.
Beyond that, it only provides a trivial effect based on the main cultivation focus…
like a Spiritual Image Mage could enhance the persuasive power of their words.”
“What about that rune I used before?”
Shiyu Lianyi exchanged a look with Yan Qi and replied, “Generally speaking, basic runes are abilities that are accessible upon reaching the Clarity Realm.”
Yet, he was able to utilize the effects of runes before reaching Spirit Illumination.
Gongsun Ce took off his glasses and ran his hand through his hair, looking exceedingly melancholic.
“I really don’t want to admit it, but it seems I am indeed a once-in-a-lifetime genius in cultivating the Impermanence Skill.”
You indeed are an infuriating once-in-a-lifetime genius, Shiyu Lianyi silently said in his heart.
