Reincarnation Paradise

Su Xiao opened his skill list to find the Beast Instinct skill but instead found a similarly named skill.

Skill Effect: Forms a sensory circle with a diameter of 14 meters and a radius of 7 meters, with a sensory strength of 4+16 points. Any attack entering the sensory circle will be automatically dodged by the body, even if the user's conscious mind is not alert.

Hint: This skill can be turned on/off.

Hint: This skill cannot be used simultaneously with elemental sensory power. While using this skill, elemental sensory power cannot be utilized.

Hint: With a sensory strength of 20 points, dodging can occur as soon as an attack enters the sensory circle.

Hint: With a sensory strength of 50 points, it can overload sensory power to slow down the enemy's attack.

Hint: With a sensory strength of 100 points, it can predict the enemy's attack within the sensory circle, foreseeing the attack's direction 0.24 seconds in advance based on the enemy's initial move.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hint: With a sensory strength of 200 points, it can predict the enemy's future attacks within the sensory circle, with a prediction time of 0.23 to 0.51 seconds in advance.

Hint: Current sensory strength is 20 points.

Hint: This skill cannot be upgraded within the Reincarnation Paradise and can only be improved through the hunter's self-training.

Su Xiao stood still with his eyes closed. A sensory circle indeed appeared around him, forming a 7-meter radius sphere. This sphere extended above and below him, though its sensitivity to the ground was lower.

The intuitive ability felt like an invisible sphere enveloping Su Xiao. As long as he kept his instinct active, he didn't have to worry about ambushes.

Su Xiao tried to sever his mental connection with the sensory circle, not turning it off but letting it activate automatically. Keeping his mind in the sensory circle consumed a lot of mental energy.

As Su Xiao's subjective perception of his surroundings disappeared, a black cloth strip flew towards him, and he instinctively dodged without thinking.

As he made the dodging move, Su Xiao's eyes lit up. It wasn't that he consciously controlled his body to move; the sensory net around him detected something coming, and he reacted instinctively, like a hand retracting from a needle prick, regardless of conscious thought.

Instinct compressed Su Xiao's elemental sensory power to an extremely high concentration, synchronizing it with his body. Outside of combat, Su Xiao wouldn't focus on the sensory circle. During combat, however, he would partially concentrate on it, and the energy consumption was negligible compared to elemental sensory power.

Understanding the general effect of instinct, Su Xiao was very interested in the 'sensory strength' mentioned in the instinct skill. This should refer to the sensitivity of his senses; the higher the sensitivity, the earlier he could dodge attacks.

With a sensory strength of 20 points, he could dodge as soon as an attack entered the sensory circle. With a sensory strength above 50 points, he could see attacks in slow motion within his sensory range, allowing for more appropriate responses.

A sensory strength of 100 points was even more impressive. It enabled a 0.24-second preemptive prediction of enemy attacks, meaning Su Xiao could foresee attacks as soon as they began.

A sensory strength of 200 points was unimaginable, allowing a momentary prediction of future attacks, albeit just an instant. This indicated great potential for instinct development.

However, the inability to enhance instinct within Reincarnation Paradise limited its growth speed. This limitation arose because of instinct's unique nature. Su Xiao continuously trained his instinct and sensory power by keeping his instinct active, and the skill, along with his basic sensory power, improved with usage. Ř𝓪ΝÔ₿Ɛṧ

Instinct didn't need enhancement within Reincarnation Paradise, as it would save resources. Su Xiao could improve it independently, and its growth rate would double in life-and-death battles.

She had taken a soul crystal from Su Xiao, indicating she would help him enhance his instinct with her experience.

"So, what do I do next?" Su Xiao wondered how Sha would help him improve his instinct level. Would he continue dodging attacks while blindfolded? That method seemed like it could have been more practical.

"Take this." She handed over a notebook with a tattered cover.

Su Xiao caught the notebook and didn't receive any notifications, indicating it wasn't a skill scroll. He opened the notebook and saw a sketch of a twisted humanoid figure with a circle around it, annotated with lines of small text.

'The sensory circle is mainly for early warning. After dodging an attack, immediately use your conscious mind to locate the enemy.'

'Contracting the sensory circle slightly increases sensory strength, though the effect is minimal.'

'Trying to train under a waterfall was ineffective for Beast Instinct.'

'Being struck by lightning was also ineffective and nearly fatal.'

'Rain weakens Beast Instinct initially, but the effect disappears once accustomed.'

'Be wary of underground attacks. The sensory circle isn't very sensitive to the ground; soil is denser than air.'

...

Su Xiao flipped through the notebook, which contained Sha's notes on Beast Instinct, referred to simply as Instinct in his case. This ability had nothing to do with beasts.

The notebook had dozens of pages detailing Sha's exploration and development of Instinct, including many creative uses.

This notebook would undoubtedly help enhance Su Xiao's Instinct, providing insights into its practical application, though Sha's handwriting and drawings could have been better, making some parts hard to decipher.

"Did you write this?"

"So what?"

"Did you draw the second half with your feet?"

Su Xiao struggled to read a line of small text.

"No, I used Beast Instinct to draw it." She crushed a peanut shell, and the peanut floated into her mouth.

"Can Instinct affect physical objects?"

Su Xiao was puzzled. His Instinct didn't have that ability.

"Mine can. Yours might not. Each person's Beast Instinct has unique characteristics. Mine is persistence. That's it." Sha's eyes widened slightly, and an invisible wave spread out.

When this wave enveloped Su Xiao, he felt it was a condensed form of sensory power, thickening the air around him like a swamp.

"We don't know your characteristic yet. Once you develop your Instinct to a certain level, you'll naturally understand."

She chewed on a peanut and scratched her head.

"In general, the ultimate development of Instinct will be influenced by your personality, combat style, and environment. That's about it. The transaction is complete."

She didn't directly enhance Su Xiao's Beast Instinct; she couldn't. She merely provided her personal experience in the notebook.

Su Xiao knew his development direction for Instinct. If he reached Sha's level, he could predict the future by 0.23 to 0.51 seconds, which wouldn't help much in exploring derivative worlds but would be invaluable in combat.

This was an overwhelmingly powerful ability. Once awakened, it would have limitations like cooldowns or high energy costs. However, the ability to predict the future would be worth any price.

Yet, with Su Xiao's current sensory strength of only 20 points, reaching 200 points was still a long way off.
