Chapter 636: Chapter 289 ’High-Order Perception’ Fails?_2

"Do any of you recall... were there any Second-order Sports Students who left the campus area like him before?"

"You suspect..."

"There’s no way I’m not suspicious."

On the other side.

14:08.

Lin Yi, having learned from past mistakes, had now gained the ability to manipulate the sky-blue aura within his body to perform a second tier dodge when facing Li Huiyuan’s feints and real attacks.

Gradually, during the latest beating, Lin Yi surprisingly discovered that when Li Huiyuan attacked him, the light around him no longer dimmed, and Li Huiyuan’s speed no longer showed signs of slowness.

"What’s going on?" Lin Yi wondered to himself in astonishment, "Has my ’High-Order Sensing’ failed?"

The next moment, Li Huiyuan’s foot solidly kicked him in the chest, he grunted, took a step back, and directly countered Li Huiyuan’s attack.

The sky-blue force flowed along Li Huiyuan’s foot like a jet of flame rushing through Lin Yi’s body, yet Lin Yi stood firm as a rock on the floor, his body also stirring up a circle of sky-blue steam, completely neutralizing Li Huiyuan’s force.

After the force dissipated, Li Huiyuan maintained her posture with her foot on Lin Yi’s chest, while Lin Yi stayed in a ’I can take it’ stance, much like a performer of ancient throat-locking techniques.

Both were silent as statues.

They stayed that way for about ten seconds, then Lin Yi couldn’t hold back anymore and whispered, "Are we good... do you want to retract your foot?"

Li Huiyuan snorted, "Help me! I think I pulled something in my foot!"

Lin Yi: "..."

Seeing Li Huiyuan being serious, he could only helplessly curl his lips and then reached down to lower her leg.

But just as his hand touched Li Huiyuan’s ankle, a sharp light burst in her eyes. She used Lin Yi’s force to perform a backward somersault and fiercely kicked her other leg towards Lin Yi’s chin!

"A sneak attack?!"

Lin Yi exclaimed in surprise as he instinctively moved the leg he was holding in front of him.

*Bang!*

A heavy blow, Li Huiyuan’s leg bones both broke, and she let out a cry, then heavily fell to the floor...

"Lin! Yi!"

Li Huiyuan’s leg was still held by Lin Yi as her body lay on the ground. She looked down at Lin Yi, eyes blazing with fire. She wasn’t calling him ’Lin Linzi’ anymore, and directly shouted his name.

"Why did you use my leg to block?!"

Lin Yi let go of his hand, and Li Huiyuan’s leg fell to the floor bonelessly with a ’slap’.

"Lucky it was handy..." Lin Yi chuckled, "I didn’t expect you’d suddenly launch a sneak attack..."

Li Huiyuan puffed her cheeks like an angry little pufferfish.

Lin Yi sheepishly said: "Well... you can recover, right? How about you recover first, and then we continue training?"

Li Huiyuan gritted her molars so loudly it made a grinding sound, she was still on the offensive, but somehow, it turned out she was the injured party...

Lin Yi softly asked again: "Umm... Huihuizi, why do I feel like your last few kicks lacked killing intent?"

Li Huiyuan’s eyes flared: "Do I look murderous enough now?!"

"Um..." Lin Yi was at a loss for words.

Just then, Boss came over and said indifferently, "It’s not that Huihuizi lacks killing intent, but rather, for you, Huihuizi’s attacks no longer pose a threat. ’Killing Intent’ is relative, a small stone falling may not matter to you, but to an even smaller ant, it’s full of murderous intent. Once your Instinct no longer perceives Huihuizi’s attacks as a threat, the supposed ’High-Order Sensing’ no longer manifests."

"If you still don’t understand..."

Boss said, then suddenly exploded with sky-blue steam without warning, and kicked at Lin Yi.

"Damn!"

Lin Yi instinctively wanted to jump away, but he seemed to realize something, voluntarily suppressed the flow of the sky-blue aura inside his body, and stayed in place.

As expected, Boss didn’t actually kick out; it was merely a signal for attack.

The next moment, she effortlessly withdrew her killing intent and calmly retracted her leg.

"You get it now?"

Lin Yi nodded: "Got it."

The threat wasn’t enough.

Enough of a threat would do.

"Next up, there’s no need for more sparring," Boss said flatly.

Lin Yi puzzled: "Huh?"

Boss explained: "The effects are already showing. One near-death experience, one half-dead state, plus a few somewhat effective attacks from Huihuizi, and about one-third of your ’Ashes’ has been absorbed."

"The remaining two-thirds...?"

"There’s another way to handle the remaining part." Boss glanced at the clock, "It’s only 14:12 now, nearly 6 hours until 20:00 and almost 4 hours until 18:00..."

"You can maintain this pace, and you’ll even have time to sign in at the classroom and then head back to the dorm."

"Next, I’ll give you some time to rest, take a shower, and then we’ll go to swimming class."

"Swimming class?" Lin Yi’s heart stirred, and he subconsciously glanced over at Wei Liang.

"While resting, if there’s anything you want to talk to Huihuizi about, feel free."

Lin Yi asked, "Since we have to shower after swimming anyway, why not go straight to swimming?"

"If you can stand being sticky, I don’t mind."

Lin Yi quickly responded, "Then I better take a shower..."

Boss nodded slightly, "I’ll go call someone to keep watch while you shower."

"Huh?" Lin Yi was taken aback.

"What huh? Do you want me to watch you shower?" Boss frowned slightly.

"I actually wouldn’t mind that," Li Huiyuan, still recovering her legs but with her hands intact, candidly raised her hand with a bold remark.

In part, she was eyeing the ’Ash’ impurities in Lin Yi, the rest is hard to say.

Boss leaned down and gave her a not-too-gentle tap on her smooth forehead: "You go shower too, I’ll keep an eye on you."

"Alright..." Li Huiyuan slumped a bit, somewhat disappointed.

"You guys chat, I’ll go call someone." Boss left a word and turned toward the changing room.

But just as she reached the changing room door, as if sensing something, a subtle light flashed in her eyes, then she immediately changed direction towards the men’s changing room.

...

Wei Liang, who was training on the rings under Little Zhouzi’s guidance, seemed to receive some kind of brainwave, or as though a barks-at-heaven dog smelling Chen Xiang far away, inexplicably glanced in Lin Yi’s direction.

A thousand miles of telepathy!

Heart-to-heart connection!

It must be about the swimming class!

"Good bro!" Wei Liang suddenly burst out like a barking dog, startling Little Zhouzi.

"What?"

"Nothing, nothing..." Wei Liang smiled and gripped the rings as if infused with renewed vigor.

...

Meanwhile, Lin Yi looked at the recovering Li Huiyuan, squatted down next to her, and asked with concern, "Li... Huihuizi, are you okay?"

Li Huiyuan glared at him, "Stop pretending, you know better than I do it’s just a bit painful. You’ll get used to it."

Lin Yi shrank his neck, "Then... shall we talk about something else?"

"You’ve shown your true colors!" Li Huiyuan huffed, "Your concern for me is all fake."

Lin Yi: "..."

"Wasn’t it you who said... you’ll get used to it?"

"You! Me!" Li Huiyuan angrily slapped the floor, "I really want to fly up and kick you!"

"Then you’d better recover quickly..." Lin Yi weakly said, speaking like an old cheeky dog.

"You!!!"

"Forget it, ask whatever you want!"

"But whether I answer or not depends on my mood!"

"Ow... okay." Lin Yi secretly wiped a sweat, feeling a spine-chilling sensation.

"Oh right!"

"Um, what is it?"

"Either call me Huihuizi or Li Huiyuan, don’t call me — Li Huihuizi! It sounds ugly, like some weirdly named fruit to catch people’s attention!"
