Eye System

Chapter 82: Perceptive Eye

After a few hours of recovery, Lex felt his body had a qualitative improvement and with the excess vitality he had that Ashura had absorbed from the beasts, he was mostly healed.

Although his body was mostly healed, his meridians were damaged and his entire body was still in pain.

Meridians are too profound and great to be understood by Lex, but from what he had experienced, he knew that they were key and fundamental to being able to cultivate, so he assumed that if damaged, which he could feel they were, it would be incredibly hard to recover them.

[System show me my current status]

{Ding, the host's current status is:

Name-Lex Black

Body Power LVL- Mortal LVL 10

Energy Power LVL- Mortal LVL 16

State- Healthy with unstable and damaged meridians

Eye Powers- Spacial Eye, Scouting Eye

Skills- None} the system stated.

Lex was happy with his progress in power level and knew that he would be able to defeat those on the same level as him as he had his Eye Power and because the Eye Demon had cultivated his body properly unlike those that call themselves levellers.

However, his damaged meridians were an issue and he felt that it was hard for him to absorb energy from the atmosphere and when he did it was painful.

Knowing that he had the Eye Energy Reserves, he knew he still had energy he could use in his body to increase his body for the time being and decided he would postpone finding a way to heal his meridians for the time being.

{Ding, the system will continue to display your power in LVLs which is easier for the host to understand and shows you the percentage you have completed of each cultivation realm}

{Ding, The Reward for the mission to save Angela is a singular B-Rank Eye Power Draw that the host will find within his inventory} the system announced.

With an excited smile, he withdrew a small golden ticket from his inventory that instantly melted in his palm.

{Ding, The host has gained Perceptive Eye} announced the system.

The last time Lex used a random power he had the option between three powers, however this time he had no choice.

{Ding, singular Eye Power Draws do not give the host an option between three Eye Powers}

[What is the Perceptive Eye] asked Lex curiously and assuming that it wouldn't be useless as a B-Rank Eye Power.

{Ding, unlike your growth type Spacial Eye, ranked eye powers don't mean they don't get stronger with the user, but its applications and abilities are weaker and or more limited than those at a higher Rank.

The Perceptive Eye is an ability that not only boosts the user's perceptivity, as the name suggests, but it also allows the host to foresee attacks and boosts the users reflexive and sensory power} told him the system.

It's application and use seemed very basic and it didn't seem to make him any stronger, yet it was still a B-Rank Eye Power, which baffled Lex.

{Ding, the Perceptive Eye is not to be underestimated and it increases the host's combat power in both close and long-range combat with your boosted reflexes and can allow the host to perceive attacks and be prepared. It is also not only restricted to battle but boosts the host's perceptivity in general} reassured the system.

{Ding, the Perceptive Eye has been integrated}

As he heard this, he felt a tingling sensation in his eyes and felt as though he had an additional function with his eyes added to the two he already had.

Perceptive Eye

Lex activated the new Eye Power he felt that he had access to and he felt that his mind was working at much faster speeds, but couldn't feel any useful effects.

Looking around in the sewers he found that within his vision no detail was missed, but he couldn't find out how it would help him in battle.

If he could see himself, he would see that his eyes became blank similar to the Scouting Eye, but had a green target on the centre that became his iris and had a red centre that was his pupil.

Retracting the Eye Power, Lex was slightly let down by its seemingly minimal effects and felt that the Scouting Eye was much better and boosted his vision without the Perceptive Eye.

Looking down at Angela, he felt better after remembering that his main target was to save Angela and not get a reward from the system.

The effects were not noticed by Lex who was in an area that had nothing moving and not much to notice and without sudden movements or attacks, its effects were not obvious.

[System how many system points do I have] 

{Ding, the host currently has 2254 system points}

[Buy 3 Mortal Recovery Pills]

3 small pills appeared within his inventory, which he withdrew and placed one in Angela's mouth.

Waiting for the pill to begin its healing effects on Angela, Lex decided he would experiment with the Perceptive Eye to understand why it was a B-Ranked Eye Power.

Perceptive Eye

Lex began to stroll around the open area he was in as he walked off leaving Angela's body lying in the same spot.

He felt the same sensation that everything he was looking at was so detailed and nothing was missed by his vision, but he didn't feel as though his reflexes had improved in the slightest as the system had described.

Suddenly a large loose piece of the ground above him, from the hole in the ceiling that the beasts made for light, began to crumble.

The cracks and signs of collapse were all noticed by Lex's clear targetted eyes and despite his vision being weaker than with the Scouting Eye, his perceptivity was much higher.

As the ceiling began to collapse over them, in Lex's vision it was falling much slower than it should and Lex knew exactly where they would fall, but his body was still lagging behind his mind and reflexes.

A reflex is a sudden subconscious movement of the body, where there is a need for a fast movement due to danger or risk in an unexpected event.

However, despite it being subconscious it still needed to be perceived by the eyes and mind and the faster they can react, the quicker the movement would be depending on the body's speed.

Lex felt he was focused and wasn't overwhelmed by the extreme situation they were in as his mind calculated the landing position and trajectory of the debris that fell over him.

Bursting off his feet with his body that was now twice as strong as it was before, Lex rushed towards Angela's position.

Each LVL in the Mortal Realm would increase the user's ability by approximately 10% of its original power in terms of his body and for energy would increase by 10% depending on the size of the dantian and meridians and the density of the energy.

Similar to levelling so would cultivation, but the efficiency, power and ability of that 10% is higher and by using the spiritual roots of the user would maximise the use the potential and talent of the user, unlike levelling.

Looking up Lex could see that the ceiling above Angela's body was also cracking and from what he had perceived, he knew that it would fall at any moment, but he was too far from her.

"Angela" he screamed.
