Chapter 785 - What Is Battle Instinct?
"Battle instinct?" Xiao Tian had no idea what battle instinct was because Lan Ruoxi didn't tell him anything about it yesterday.
He tried to find the answer in his predecessor's memory but found nothing. He had also never heard of battle instinct in his previous life. However, from the name, he believed it was related to fighting ability.
Because Zhao Chen knew that Xiao Tian had no idea about it, he began to explain it. "Battle instinct is a technique that severs the consciousness from the body in order to allow the body to subconsciously move it to even attack and evade."
Then he continued, "The body of any living being is accompanied by limitation. For anyone to perfume basic actions, they must first process their actions and think with their brain. This will limit their speed and hamper their ability to fight efficiently."
When Zhao Chen was explaining about battle instinct, Xiao Tian paid attention to him carefully.
"The ultimate goal for martial artist is the mastery of self-movement, the ability for each and every part of body to act and think on its own." Zhao Chen spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "With this, martial artist will have much greater speed and no longer needs to take time to process their actions and can instantly do them."
And based on Zhao Chen's words, any martial artist who was using battle instinct would emit a special aura around their bodies. Of course, they could only feel it and could not see it.
This aura would act as a bridge between the person who was in battle instinct mode and the others or their surroundings.
If they were in danger, the aura would give a signal to their bodies, and as a result, their bodies would move on its own before being hit.
However, because battle instinct used the energy of heaven and earth, the human body had to use a lot of stamina to maintain it.
Due to this reason, all martial artists were unable to stay in this state for a long time. Of course, they could prolong the use of their battle instinct later, but they had to become stronger first because they needed a strong body to carry the energy of heaven and earth.
Upon hearing Zhao Chen's words, Xiao Tian suddenly desired to master it.
'Amazing. If I can master this battle instinct, my speed, reflexes and strength will be enhanced by many times.'
Xiao Tian desired to be a very strong martial artist so that he could protect his family and friends from enemies.
'I have to master this battle instinct no matter what.'
a blazing determination burned in Xiao Tian's eyes
"How is it, Xiao Tian? Aren't I amazing? I'm only a martial artist at the mid-level master stage but I have gained insight about battle instinct. They say I have a chance to become the Ruler in the future. Haha." Zhao Sheng laughed happily after saying that.
Like before, Zhao Chen hit his grandson's head again. "Stop showing off! You can only stay in this state for six seconds. What is there to be proud of? Can you beat a martial artist at the grandmaster stage in six seconds?"
Even though he said something like that, Zhao Chen was indeed proud of his grandson. Zhao Sheng was the second to gain insight about battle instinct while still at the master stage.
The first person to do that was Zhao Chen's great-great-grandfather, Zhao Zhi. When Zhao Zhi was still alive, no one dared to cause trouble for the Zhao family.
Every family in the whole of China treated them with respect because Zhao Zhi was the Ruler, the strongest martial artist in the whole of China.
"Grandfather, can't you let me show off a little in front of my friend? Why do you always hit my head? What if I become an idiot because of this?" Zhao Sheng was annoyed because his grandfather kept hitting his head.
He wanted to fight back, but alas, his grandfather was too strong for the current him.
"What? You don't like it? Beat me if you don't like my behavior." Zhao Chen spoke as he crossed his arms over his chest.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng could only grit his teeth in annoyance.
"Elder Zhao, can you tell me how to gain insight about this battle instinct?" Xiao Tian inquired.
Because he was sure that Xiao Tian would not gain insight about battle instinct when he was still in the mid-level master stage, Zhao Chen didn't mind answering his question. "You have to calm your mind and feel your surroundings. When you become one with nature, your body will tell you if you are in danger."
Xiao Tian touched his chin.
"Your body will tell you when you are in danger?'
Xiao Tian suddenly recalled the time when he was dodging countless arrows because, at that time, his body also gave him a warning when the arrows were about to hit him.
'Wait! Could it be that I have already gained insight about this battle instinct?'
Xiao Tian asked in his head.
"I see." Xiao Tian uttered,
"Xiao Tian, now that I have gained insight about battle instinct, we're not on the same level anymore. Haha." Zhao Sheng believed that he was stronger than Xiao Tian now.
In the past, they were equal, but now with the help of battle instinct, he was sure that he could beat Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian only smiled because he didn't care about it. Zhao Sheng was his best friend and always helped him, so he didn't care if Zhao Sheng was stronger than him.
At this moment, Lan Ruoxi arrived. "Greeting, Elder Zhao."
"Oh! Ruoxi, you have arrived." Zhao Chen spoke when he saw Lan Ruoxi.
"Yes. I'm sorry for coming late." Lan Ruoxi was startled when she saw Xiao Tian. "Young master Xiao, you are here too?"
"Yes." Xiao Tian responded as he smiled. "If I had known you were also invited, I would have come to your place before coming here."
Lan Ruoxi smiled before looking at Zhao Sheng. "Congratulations, young master Zhao for breaking through to the mid-level master stage."
"Thank you." Zhao Sheng smiled happily. "Big sister Ruoxi, how about we spar later? Maybe I can beat you now."
Before Lan Ruoxi could answer it, Zhao Chen spoke, "Brat, she is still too strong for you. You won't be able to defeat her."
"Really?" Zhao Sheng was disappointed after hearing his grandfather's words. "Xiao Tian, how about we spar now? I will show you how strong I am now. Hehe."
"Good idea." Zhao Xun spoke abruptly
"I also agree with this." Zhao Chen added.
"Emm. Can we not do that?" it was not like he was afraid of Zhao Sheng, but it was because he was not in the mood to fight.
"Why? You are not afraid of my son, right?" Zhao Xun wanted to know how strong Xiao Tian was now.
Because Xiao Tian was also a genius in martial arts, he was sure that he was stronger now.
"Young master Xiao, why don't you accept it?" Lan Ruoxi added.
The corner of his lips twitched after hearing her words. Because he could not refuse anymore, he decided to accept it. "Fine."
"Good." Zhao Sheng responded happily.
Then they headed to the backyard.
