Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 367: Guidance

Following that, he turned around and threw a punch straight at the nearest afterimage, regardless of whether it was real or fake.

The punch created a wind that easily tore through the afterimage.

But, unfortunately, that was not the real Xiao Zhan.

However, Shan Hao didn’t care. After releasing the punch, he didn’t even bother to see the result and went directly for a flying kick at the second afterimage.

Though it was two separate moves, his speed was incredibly fast.

He completed both almost instantly, and after that, the third and fourth moves followed in quick succession. In the blink of an eye, he destroyed over half of Xiao Zhan’s afterimages.

As Shan Hao was about to strike Xiao Zhan’s physical body, Xiao Zhan seemed to become more tense, but he clenched his teeth tightly, maintaining calmness in his eyes.

At the same time, he was channeling the energy of his Spirit Manipulation Power to the extreme within his body, reaching even faster speeds than before and creating several more afterimages.

Shan Hao was startled; he thought he had already seen the fastest Xiao Zhan could move, but he didn’t expect the youngster could burst out with even greater speed!

If this was the speed, it would be somewhat difficult for him to catch up.

But then he noticed something was off. Xiao Zhan’s speed wasn’t consistently that fast; after briefly increasing the distance between them, it returned to the previous speed.

He immediately realized that such an explosive burst of speed was only temporary; Xiao Zhan couldn’t possibly maintain it.

Realizing this, Shan Hao immediately launched an attack and charged towards Xiao Zhan again.

As long as Xiao Zhan couldn’t continuously burst at that speed, he was no more than a lamb to the slaughter before Shan Hao.

In the room.

Watching this unfold, Reksen wore a confident smile on his face the entire time.

As if contemplating something, he suddenly turned to Liu Xin and said, "This Xiao Zhan does have some real skills to be able to fight Shan Hao without a scratch. But in a moment, Shan Hao will capture him, and at that time, Xiao Zhan will be torn to shreds instantly."

Liu Xin stared into his eyes, feeling as though he could see through her thoughts.

But she still maintained an indifferent demeanor, "Is that so? That would be quite good."

"Yes, indeed, that would be quite good." Reksen laughed, not saying much more.

But no matter how one looked at it, that smile seemed somewhat sinister.

In the arena.

Xiao Zhan was quickly caught up to once again, but in the nick of time, he burst out with that rapid speed again, narrowly escaping Shan Hao’s menace.

Shan Hao failed to capture Xiao Zhan, a hint of anger flashing across his face.

This was the fifth time Xiao Zhan had escaped from his hands; at the critical moment when he was about to touch Xiao Zhan, he would burst out with speed.

It made Shan Hao feel like he was being toyed with!

His gaze, fierce and unyielding, fixed on Xiao Zhan; his attacks kept coming relentlessly, "Let’s see how many times you can burst out like that!"

Such an explosive speed was definitely unsustainable!

Shan Hao refused to believe in this absurdity today!

A powerful speed burst, sweeping through several afterimages once more, he closed in on Xiao Zhan yet again.

Xiao Zhan’s expression did not show panic; instead, he locked his Perception Ability firmly on Shan Hao while performing the Thunder Shadow Step.

At the same time, he was silently counting down in his mind.

"Three, two..."

This number was informed to Xiao Zhan by the person in the letter, representing Shan Hao’s weakness.

It indicated the rest interval between Shan Hao’s continuous combo technique.

Unlike Spirit Masters like Xiao Zhan, Shan Hao was purely devoted to physical cultivation, and physical movements have a lead-up and recovery process.

That is to say, they require preparation and rest.

This is different from the energy of a Spirit Master, which is always in operation, allowing their bodies to be powered by both physical strength and Spirit Manipulation Energy.

While there are still lead-up and recovery processes, the time is significantly reduced, and with proper coordination, it is almost possible to cancel out the physical motion lead-up and recovery using Spirit Manipulation Energy.

With the help of Perception and the ability to rapidly release Spirit Manipulation Power in his body, Xiao Zhan could essentially eliminate these lead-up and recovery movements to zero.

And this duration was the rest time Shan Hao needed after a series of actions.

Seven seconds.

A series of actions could last a total of seven seconds, and now only one second remained.

It might seem like only a mere seven seconds.

But for a Sixth Grade Spirit Master, these seven seconds are enough to perform a barrage of moves; Shan Hao’s relentless attacks, powered by his mighty physique, can last without pause for seven seconds, which is also quite formidable.

Moreover, he needs less than half a second of rest time before he can perform another seven-second bout.

And this half-second gap is Xiao Zhan’s window to counterattack.

Of course, with only half a second, Xiao Zhan couldn’t inflict any significant damage.

Half a second is the interval for opportunity, Xiao Zhan’s chance, but not Shan Hao’s definitive death point.

To ensure Shan Hao’s absolute demise, another fatal weakness was required!

And that weakness was also mentioned in the letter: a sunken spot on Shan Hao’s back. A blow to that muscle would devastate Shan Hao.

However, the depression is small and nestled between crisscrossing muscles; it’s a spot most people wouldn’t know to target.

Even if someone knew it was a weakness, it would still be difficult to strike effectively.

But for Xiao Zhan, this wasn’t as challenging. His perception could accurately locate that spot.

Furthermore, in order to hit that spot with absolute certainty, Xiao Zhan had laid a trap for Shan Hao.

That was the positioning of the afterimages left behind after his Thunder Shadow Step.

These spots weren’t left randomly but were carefully planned. By predicting the trajectory of Shan Hao’s next strike based on his current assault pattern...

Xiao Zhan adjusted the position of his next afterimage left by the Thunder Shadow Step. With each interconnected, they guided Shan Hao’s attack in a way Xiao Zhan needed.

And that very motion was one that exposed Shan Hao’s back to Xiao Zhan.

However, in doing so, Xiao Zhan was taking a significant risk.

If his speed was too slow and fewer afterimages were left, Shan Hao would catch up in an instant, and Xiao Zhan would suffer under that punch.

And if his speed was too fast and too many afterimages were left, Shan Hao would change his attack trajectory, leading to more variations in Xiao Zhan’s predictions.

Therefore, it was crucial to maintain a speed that wasn’t too fast nor too slow, constantly leading Shaw Hao to attack along the predetermined path.

That’s why the phenomenon of Xiao Zhan’s speed appearing fast at one moment, then slow another occurred.

Everyone thought it was Xiao Zhan’s erratic spurts, but in reality, it was by Xiao Zhan’s own design.
