#293 - Failure of high-level perception?

The boss glanced speechlessly at Li Huiyuan, who had a bluffing look on her face, and said, "If it really comes to combat, I have other arrangements. You don't need to worry."

"After he gets up, go kick him a few more times like you did just now to wrap up the training."

Li Huiyuan asked in surprise, "'Wrap up'? Seriously, boss? How long have we been training?"

She glanced at the clock on the wall of the gymnasium.

"It's only 2:02 PM!"

The boss shook his head slightly: "Targeted training isn't about the training itself, but about the targeting."

"Besides, I haven't determined his situation yet, so I need you to add a few more kicks."

"After you finish kicking, I can almost determine whether he 'already knew it but just forgot' or 'is incredibly talented and improving rapidly'."

Li Huiyuan wrinkled her nose: "Aww."

On the other side, Lin Yi got up after lying down for almost eight minutes.

At this time, there were still cracks on his body, but overall, he had recovered to more than eighty percent.

During this recovery process, he had gained some understanding of the sky-blue aura and could even consciously mobilize it a little, but he was still not very clear about how to transform 'Original Pollution' into sky-blue aura.

"Linlinzi, can we continue training?" Li Huiyuan shouted from a distance.

Lin Yi nodded: "Come on!"

He knew his limitations. His injuries were just right at this moment, otherwise, Li Huiyuan wouldn't be able to hit him again if he recovered further.

And then she would be as anxious and resentful as a little girl who can't catch fish.

"How much have you recovered now?" Li Huiyuan asked curiously.

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "About eighty percent?"

Li Huiyuan's eyes lit up, and she rubbed her hands together: "Then I'm coming!"

"Hurry up, or the injury will recover!" Lin Yi said astonishingly, acting like a masochist.

Li Huiyuan moved her ankles, then took a deep breath, and charged towards Lin Yi with a running start.

This time, instead of flying up and kicking like before, she lowered her center of gravity as she approached Lin Yi, like the boss, and switched to a side whip kick.

"Hah!"

Li Huiyuan shouted sweetly, and a cloud of sky-blue steam rose around her, spiraling around her leg, and whipping it out fiercely.

Perhaps because the injury worsened, Lin Yi felt that the pressure from Li Huiyuan's kick was much greater than before, and even the steam on her body turned from light blue to sky blue.

He didn't dare to be careless. As the surrounding light dimmed, he took in Li Huiyuan's movements and trajectory, and then, following the dodging instinct in his subconscious, his body trembled slightly, and he quickly dodged a position.

However, to her surprise, after Li Huiyuan's single leg missed, she directly used this leg to touch the ground as an axis to adjust her attack, and swung her other leg out.

This familiar taste and familiar formula were exactly the same as the boss just now.

So, in the next moment, she kicked Lin Yi, and her seemingly delicate palm carried an extremely heavy force, kicking hard on Lin Yi's chest!

"Boom—"

As the energy poured in, spiderweb-like cracks immediately spread from Lin Yi's chest, covering his torso in an instant.

Lin Yi flew backwards, but barely adjusted his posture in the air. After landing, he staggered back a few steps to dissipate Li Huiyuan's force, and then stood firm, panting softly.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

Lin Yi looked at Li Huiyuan in shock, "You..."

"All's fair in war!" Li Huiyuan said with a smile, "I just realized that although you are good at dodging, you rely too much on instinct."

"So I decided to deceive your instinct. The first kick was a feint, and the second kick was the real one."

Lin Yi opened his mouth, speechless for a moment. Li Huiyuan's comprehension seemed a little high...

Li Huiyuan said, "Huh, why is your mental state so good? Have you recovered already?"

Lin Yi looked at the cracks on his chest and said speechlessly, "I'm just a little used to this kind of pain..."

"That's fine, then let's continue!" Li Huiyuan knew that there wouldn't be many sparring sessions left, so she had to seize the opportunity to leave a deep impression on Lin Yi.

So the two continued to spar.

...

On the other side, Xu Shun and others, during their training breaks, were also observing the sparring situation between Lin Yi and Li Huiyuan. Looking at Li Huiyuan's posture, they couldn't help but click their tongues.

"Little Huiyuan's progress is too fast."

"Yeah... I remember she only completed the transformation last night."

"Today, she has already reached this point."

"Too fast... Even with the boss's personal training, it's too fast..."

"Don't mention the boss's personal training. Who among you hasn't been trained by the boss? Is there anyone like Little Huiyuan?"

"..."

Xu Shun Kang sighed: "Although acquired training is indispensable for sports students, we have to admit... talent determines the lower limit."

He paused: "Speaking of which, at first, Zhi and I thought Lin Yi was a sports student seedling arranged to come in, but now it seems that perhaps our ideas are inaccurate..."

"Brother Xu?"

"Yeah." Xu Shun Kang nodded, "Little Huiyuan may be the seedling the company sent in... As for Lin Yi... he's too strange. I guess the boss is also trying to figure out his background."

"If it's Little Huiyuan, it's understandable."

"But that Lin Yi... is indeed very problematic."

"If you didn't say it, who would have thought he was just an experience student?"

"Experience student?"

"Someone who can survive the boss's kick can't be a normal person."

"Do you guys have any impression... Have there been any second-level sports students similar to him who left the campus before?"

"You suspect..."

"It's impossible not to suspect."

On the other side.

2:08 PM.

Learning from his mistakes, Lin Yi had gained some ability to mobilize the sky-blue aura in his body to perform a second-stage dodge between Li Huiyuan's feints and real attacks.

Gradually, during the most recent beating, Lin Yi actually found that when Li Huiyuan launched an attack on him, the light around him no longer dimmed, and Li Huiyuan's speed no longer showed that kind of sluggishness.

"What's going on?" Lin Yi was secretly shocked, "Has my 'High-Level Perception' failed?"

In the next moment, Li Huiyuan's foot firmly kicked him in the chest. He grunted and took a step back, directly withstanding Li Huiyuan's attack.

The sky-blue energy flowed along Li Huiyuan's palm, impacting Lin Yi's body like a burst of flames, but Lin Yi was like a stubborn rock nailed to the floor, with a circle of sky-blue steam also surging around him, completely dissolving Li Huiyuan's energy.

Finally, when the energy dissipated, Li Huiyuan maintained the posture of kicking Lin Yi in the chest, while Lin Yi maintained the "I'm resisting" posture, like an ancient street performer demonstrating the golden spear lock throat.

Both of them were silent, like sculptures.

After maintaining this for about ten seconds, Lin Yi couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Is it okay... should we retract our feet?"

Li Huiyuan snorted, "Help me! My leg cramped a little!"

Lin Yi: "…"

Seeing Li Huiyuan's serious expression, he could only helplessly curl his lips, then reach out to put down Li Huiyuan's leg.

But just as his hand touched Li Huiyuan's ankle, a glint suddenly flashed in Li Huiyuan's eyes. Using Lin Yi's strength, she did a backflip on the spot, while simultaneously kicking her other leg towards Lin Yi's jaw!

"Sneak attack?!"

Lin Yi exclaimed, actually managing to move the leg of Li Huiyuan that he was holding in his hand to the front.

"Bang!"

With a heavy thud, Li Huiyuan's leg bones both fractured, and she let out a cry of surprise before heavily slamming onto the floor…

"Lin! Yi!"

Li Huiyuan's leg was still being held by Lin Yi, her body collapsed on the ground. Looking down at Lin Yi, her eyes seemed to spit fire. She no longer called him Lin Linzi, directly calling him by his name.

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

Lin Yi released his hand, and Li Huiyuan's leg fell onto the floor with a "plop" as if it had no bones.

"Wasn't that conveniently at hand…" Lin Yi chuckled dryly, "Wasn't it also because I didn't expect you to suddenly launch a sneak attack…"

Li Huiyuan puffed out her cheeks, like an angry pufferfish.

Lin Yi said awkwardly, "Um… you can recover, right? Why don't you recover first, and then we can continue practicing?"

Li Huiyuan's molars were grinding, making "creak, creak" sounds. She was indeed the attacker, but now the injured person had somehow become her…

Lin Yi asked softly again, "Um… Hui Hui Zi, why do I feel like your recent kicks lack killing intent?"

Li Huiyuan's small eyes spat fire: "Is this appearance of mine enough killing intent?!"

"Uh…" Lin Yi was speechless.

At this time, the Boss walked to his side and said indifferently, "It's not that Hui Hui Zi doesn't have enough killing intent, but rather that for you, Hui Hui Zi's attacks no longer pose a threat."

"The thing about 'killing intent' is relative. A small pebble falling down doesn't matter to you, but to a smaller ant, it's full of killing intent."

"When your instincts no longer feel that Hui Hui Zi's attacks are a threat, the 'high-level induction' that should have appeared will also not appear."

"If you still don't understand…"

The Boss said, suddenly bursting out with sky-blue steam without warning, and then kicking towards Lin Yi.

"Whoa!"

Lin Yi subconsciously wanted to jump away, but he seemed to realize something, actively suppressing the surge of sky-blue aura within his body, making himself stay in place.

As expected, the Boss did not kick out this kick, only giving Lin Yi an attack signal.

In the next moment, she retracted this killing intent with ease, calmly retracting her foot.

"Do you understand now?"

Lin Yi nodded: "Understood."

It's still not enough of a threat.

It will be fine if the threat is enough.

"There's no need to practice anymore next."

Lin Yi puzzled: "Huh?"

The Boss said: "It's fine as long as the effect comes out. One near-death experience, one half-dead, plus Hui Hui Zi's several attacks that had decent effects, roughly one-third of your 'Ashes' have already been absorbed."

"Then the remaining two-thirds…?"

"There are ways to deal with the remaining part." The Boss glanced at the pendulum clock, "It's only 14:12 now, there's still nearly 6 hours until 20:00, and there's still nearly 4 hours until 18:00…"

"You only need to maintain this progress, you even have time to sign in at the classroom and then return to the dormitory."

"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 at Wei Liang's side.

"When you're resting, if you have anything you want to say to Hui Hui Zi, you can also say it."

Lin Yi asked, "We'll have to shower after swimming anyway, why not go swimming directly?"

"I don't mind if you can stand being sticky."

Lin Yi quickly said, "Then I'll still wash up…"

The Boss nodded slightly: "I'll call someone to guard you while you shower."

"Huh?" Lin Yi was stunned.

"Huh what? Don't tell me you want me to watch you shower?" The Boss frowned slightly.

"Actually, I'm okay with that." Li Huiyuan's legs were recovering, but her hands were fine. Lying there, she raised her hand without any reservation, speaking tiger-like words as soon as she opened her mouth.

On one hand, she was aiming for the 'Ashes' impurities in Lin Yi. It's hard to say about the other aspects.

The Boss leaned down and gave her a small but not too small flick on her smooth forehead: "You go take a shower too, I'll watch you."

"Alright…" Li Huiyuan wilted down, a little disappointed.

"You guys chat, I'll go call someone first." The Boss dropped a sentence and turned to walk towards the changing room.

But just as she arrived at the entrance of the changing room, as if sensing some aura, a hidden light flashed in her eyes, followed by her directly changing direction and walking towards the men's changing room.

Wei Liang, who was undergoing ring training under Xiao Zhouzi's control in the distance, seemed to receive some kind of brainwave in the dark, like a哮天犬 (Xiàotiān Quǎn, Howling Celestial Dog) smelling Chenxiang's aura from a thousand miles away, inexplicably glancing in Lin Yi's direction.

Telepathic transmission!

A meeting of minds!

It must be about swimming class!

"Good brother!" Wei Liang suddenly laughed like a dog, startling Xiao Zhouzi into a shiver.

"Huh?"

"Nothing, nothing…" Wei Liang smiled, the hand grabbing the rings seemed to be injected with a brand new vitality.

On the other side, Lin Yi looked at the gradually recovering Li Huiyuan, squatted down beside her, and asked with concern, "Li… Hui Hui Zi, are you okay?"

Li Huiyuan glared at him: "Stop pretending, you know better than me that this is just a little painful, you'll get used to it."

Lin Yi shrank his neck: "Then… shall we talk about something else?"

"The dagger is revealed at the end, huh!" Li Huiyuan snorted, "Your concern for me is all fake."

Lin Yi: "…"

"Didn't you say… you'll get used to it?"

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

"Then you have to hurry up and recover…" Lin Yi said weakly, sounding like a cunning old dog as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You! ! !"

"Forget it, ask whatever you want to ask!"

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

"Aww… okay." Lin Yi secretly wiped away a handful of cold sweat, unknowingly feeling a sense of being drenched in sweat.

"Oh, right!"

"Uh, you say?"

"Either call me Hui Hui Zi, or call me Li Huiyuan, don't call me—Li Hui Hui Zi! It's very unpleasant to hear, like some kind of fruit with a strange name taken to attract attention!"
