Chapter 781 - Battle Instinct

"Huft...Huft...Huft..." Xiao Tian, who was sitting on the floor, breathed heavily.

Previously, he immediately trained martial arts after arriving at Lan Ruoxi's place.

'No. I can't be lazy around like this.'

His underlings had gotten stronger, so as their leader, he had to become stronger quickly.

When Xiao Tian thought that he was ready to practice again, he raised his head to look at Lan Ruoxi. "Lady Lan, let's continue again."

Lan Ruoxi turned her head to the right side and uttered, "Throw the arrows again."

"Understood." The person next to her responded.

Xiao Tian's expression turned serious.

'Feel my surroundings as if it's part of my body.'

His previous life martial arts master told him to feel his surroundings if he wanted to improve his reflexes.

His martial arts master said that there were two ways to improve reflexes. First, being beaten every day until his body reacted automatically when he was in danger or constantly sharpened his senses.

Because Xiao Tian wanted to become stronger as quickly as possible, he did both things. He often practiced martial arts with Lan Ruoxi, got beaten up by her, and trained his reflexes in the training room.

*Wuish...Wuish...

Two arrows were shot towards him at high speed. Since Lan Ruoxi wanted to help him improve his reflexes quickly, she increased the speed of the arrows without telling him. With this, it could help him break through to the mid-level master stage faster.

Xiao Tian moved to the left to dodge the first arrow. But a second arrow suddenly came from his right side. Since Xiao Tian didn't have time to move left or right, he did a bridge position.

*Wuish...Wuish...

Two arrows were shot at him again, aiming at his legs.

Xiao Tian instantly did a backflip.

'I can't let my guard down.'

In order to test the reflexes of the martial artists, they were shot with countless arrows at a certain speed.

'Hmm? This is....could it be Battle Instinct?'

Lan Ruoxi found it hard to believe what she was seeing.

Usually, only a martial artist at the grandmaster stage could gain insight about battle instinct. Even some martial artists at the low-level grandmaster stage didn't get any battle instinct like Jufan, Yahui and Shuren.

But most of them already had the battle instinct, although they only touched a small part of that battle instinct.

Their battle instincts would be even better after breaking through to a higher level. This was why almost all martial artists at the low-level grandmaster stage could never defeat a martial artist at the mid-level grandmaster stage because battle instinct was very important in battle.

There were many benefits to having battle instinct. For example, their bodies would tell them if they were in danger, they could sense auras emanating from other people's bodies, or their bodies would signal them if they were facing an opponent, they would not be able to defeat. And there are many more benefits of having battle instinct.

'How can he already have a battle instinct? Didn't he just break through to the mid-level master stage?'

Countless questions appeared in her mind.

'Am I looking at the next ruler now?'

Several hundred ago, the Ruler of martial artists also gained battle instinct when they were still at the master stage.

Xiao Tian was a genius in martial arts. Coupled with him already having battle instinct when he was only at the mid-level master stage made Lan Ruoxi believe that he would become a powerful martial artist in the future.

She then spoke to the person next to her. "Continue firing the arrow. Don't stop."

"Understood." The person next to her replied.

Seconds turned into minutes, and without realizing it, Xiao Tian had been dodging the arrows for about seventy seconds.

Even though he wanted to know why Lan Ruoxi kept shooting the arrow, Xiao Tian said nothing and focused on dodging the arrows.

*Shui...Shui...

The last two arrows were finally shot at Xiao Tian's head and chest.

Like before, Xiao Tian could dodge those arrows.

'Oh! She didn't shoot the arrows anymore?'

Xiao Tian thought Lan Ruoxi would keep firing the arrows, but he was wrong.

*Csshhh.

The sound of the metal door opening rang in his ears.

*Clap...Clap...Clap...

As Lan Ruoxi was walking towards Xiao Tian, she clapped her hands. "Congratulations, young master Xiao. Now you are officially a martial artist at the mid-level master stage."
