Li Wei did not know how to worship

He could only instinctively swing the Black Spiral Sword in his hand to parry. Soon, a bloody gash appeared on his shoulder, followed by his thigh, waist, and face.

The bloodstain seemed to appear suddenly, without any warning.

Li Wei knew that the wounds were caused by Rakanishu's knife; the damage from the ultra-high-speed attack made him feel no Pain for a while.

"The speed of the blade is too fast!" Li Wei's eyes widened as he tried to see the trajectory of Rakanishu.

Finally, Li Wei spotted a dark figure, and almost instantly, he swung his sword.

With a crisp sound, Rakanishu's knife stopped.

Li Wei's sword suppressed the small curved knife, forcing Rakanishu to retreat before he could launch another attack.

Gibberish!

Rakanishu was clearly stunned. In that instant, Li Wei raised his sword and thrust it, striking Rakanishu squarely in the shoulder. However, the moment the sword struck, a powerful surge of true energy flowed through the iron sword and into Li Wei's body. Not only that, dozens of crescent-shaped arcs of electricity suddenly burst forth from Rakanishu's body, rapidly dissipating in all directions. Li Wei, enduring the numbness in his body, quickly retreated.

Lightning enhancement, extra fast!

The combination of these two special attributes is simply monstrous. Fortunately, the sword strike just now also injured Rakanishu, but because of the electric current, it didn't penetrate very deeply. The injured Rakanishu became even more enraged, and the murderous intent in his eyes grew even stronger.

Using ranged attacks would be the best approach when facing this monster, but Li Wei did not make a move.

The super-fast sword technique that Rakanishu just used must have been due to the "extremely fast" attribute. This kind of sword technique, which leaves no trace, is definitely designed for killing.

In the close combat just now, Li Wei managed to defend his vital organs well, but he suffered dozens of knife wounds in other areas. Fortunately, thanks to his Super Regeneration, the wounds healed quickly.

"I think it will be very difficult for me to obtain the 'Extra Fast' attribute. However, is there any other way to perform that kind of ultra-fast attack?" Li Wei circulated all his true energy, and the Dragon Whisker Armor appeared on his body.

After thinking for a moment, Li Wei attached half of his true energy to his spine on his back, and gathered the other half in his head. In an instant, his hearing and vision were sharpened, and all five senses were enhanced.

It not only enhances the five senses, but also improves nerve reflexes.

What is a neural reflex?

It's a bodily instinct; nerve reflexes only intervene to control the body's movements when something beyond the five senses occurs. But for ordinary people, this is just a fleeting moment.

Neural reflexes are not related to physical fitness; ordinary people often demonstrate their neural reflexes in unexpected situations.

It's like a person walking past a sports field when a ball hits them from behind at an extremely fast speed. By the time someone warns them that they've noticed the ball, it's already above their head. In that less than a second, or even less than a tenth or a hundredth of a second, even if a person's five senses detect the danger, there's no time to control their body to avoid it.

At this point, the "potential" of neural reflexes will emerge, and many people will find that their bodies can dodge such a sudden ball strike in an instant. Of course, in most cases, neural reflexes will not be involved.

At this moment, Li Wei wanted to rely on this "potential" to fight the enemy.

In reality, Li Wei was unaware that this "potential" wasn't limited to just nerve reflexes; the human body's potential was limitless. However, he was beginning to come into contact with this "primitive power."

Rakanishu charged forward again with a howl, and Li Wei swung his sword, trying his best to block the whirlwind-like attack.

However, he soon discovered that when Rakanishu's knife went even faster, even his enhanced senses couldn't keep up with its trajectory. At this point, his body's movements naturally slowed down by half a beat.

"No!"

After being stabbed several more times, Li Wei retreated again.

"Something feels off! How does it unleash such a high-speed attack? My combat power rating is higher than itss, so why can't I keep up with that speed?!"

Li Wei, of course, was unaware that he had fallen into a misconception.

Even the fastest senses have their limits, especially eyesight, which is the slowest of the five senses to receive signals. Complex images take the longest to process through the visual nerves, so no matter how fast the eyes are, they can never keep up with ultra-fast knife techniques.

After careful consideration, Li Wei realized where the problem lay!

"My combat strength rating is indeed higher than my opponent's, but my five senses are limiting this body, like five invisible chains binding it. Perhaps if these chains are unlocked, the situation will change!"

Li Wei's sudden realization overjoyed him; perhaps this was a way to improve combat power without strengthening his body.

"Then let's start by unlocking one of the five senses: sight!"

As Rakanishu charged at him again, Li Wei's pupils suddenly dilated, the black parts completely filling his eyeballs. In this state, his vision had completely deteriorated.

However, this does not mean that he cannot see anything.

On the contrary, at this moment, Li Wei was using his mental perception to see things.

Rakanishu continued to use "extraordinarily fast" speed, rapidly wielding his small scimitar. This time, it was even faster, almost reaching its maximum speed.

"This time, we'll definitely cut this damned human in two!"

A sinister smile crept across Rakanishu's face, but its hopeful strike missed its mark.

Rakanishu didn't see the sword in the other's hand move at all, so why did the knife seem to strike a hard object, sparking out of nowhere?

Are you seeing things?

Rakanishu shook its little head and continued its attack. However, something unbelievable happened: every slash it made seemed to strike an invisible armor, just like the sound of parrying with a sword.

However, the strangest thing is that the sword in the human's hand didn't move at all!

Completely baffled, Rakanishu continued his attacks, but they were all blocked by that invisible wall.

Li Wei smiled as he deflected his opponent's attack again.

He succeeded, using the powerful reflexes his body gained after breaking free from the shackles of his vision to block all of Rakanishu's attacks.

Rakanishu didn't see it, but Li Wei knew that with each of Rakanishu's attacks, his arm would swing the iron sword to parry at an even faster speed, then return to its original position. Because the speed was so fast, the opponent would mistake it for an invisible wall.

The battle is over!

For the first time, Li Wei abandoned defense and unleashed his first super-fast attack against Rakanishu, who possessed the "Extra-Fast" attribute.

The lightning enhancement attribute on Rakanishu is also an extremely troublesome thing, but if you can kill it with one blow, then the lightning enhancement is just a joke.

A sword strike as fast as lightning.

Even Li Wei himself couldn't see the trajectory of the sword. In any case, a second later, Rakanishu's head flew off its body, landed on the ground, and rolled a long way away.

Kill Rakanishu!

The headless body collapsed to the ground, revealing a dark gold Treasure Chest, which made Li Wei ecstatic. This was the first time he had ever encountered a dark gold-level Treasure Chest.

Quickly picking up the items scattered on the ground, Li Wei decided to abandon the monster horde guarding the teleportation array and instead savor the exhilarating feeling of having one of his five senses liberated.

The Five Senses Release does not mean shutting down any of the senses. This technique is extremely difficult to master. Li Wei bet that if he were to repeat that state again, he could only last for a dozen seconds at most.

Even a body of top-tier combat strength couldn't maintain that liberated state for long.

Presumably, those who are only at the highest level of combat power, or even lower, would not be able to experience the feeling of having their Five Senses Release.

Finding a sheltered rock, Li Wei sat down and summoned the Yellow Paper. He wanted to see what he would find inside the dark gold Treasure Chest that had fallen out.

With a click, the Treasure Chest opened.

A ring fell out.

Li Wei picked it up and was immediately stunned.

The "Dwarf Star" ring is a Dark Gold tier ring. When equipped, it: reduces magic damage, increases stamina regeneration speed, increases maximum stamina, and increases life.

Li Wei didn't care about the other attributes; he just stared at the "Mitigation Magic Damage Blade" attribute, his eyes revealing a meaningful look.

Negating magical damage holds special significance for him, because he has an enemy who is most skilled in magical attacks.

Great Wizard!

Thinking of that guy, Li Wei recalled the burning pain after the electric shock. This revenge was something he absolutely had to take. Now, with this ring and the experience of "Five Senses Release," Li Wei believed that if he were to encounter the Great Wizard again, his chances of winning would be over 100%.

After putting the Dwarf Star on his finger, Li Wei felt the power that enhanced his physique spread throughout his body.

At that moment, his Yellow Paper popped out.

Hint: The quest "Forgotten Tower, Earl Middle Lady" must be defeated by Squad 3.

"Note: The Tools of the Trade will be conducted by Team Number 1."

Seeing these two notifications, Li Wei muttered to himself, "It seems that among the six reincarnation teams, at least team number 4 is very strong. Team number 6 has already been wiped out by me, and team number 7 shouldn't be much stronger either. The only problem is that team number 7, which should be the strongest, seems to have made no moves except for the thief I killed. That's a bit strange."

Li Wei felt that if it were him, he wouldn't just sit there and do nothing after his team members were killed, so the No. 1 team definitely wouldn't just go quiet like that.

About ten minutes later, several more messages appeared on the Yellow Paper. When Li Wei saw them, he was so surprised that he stood up.

"Hint: Squad 3 has been wiped out by the numbered Reincarnators." The killer (quotes) is a wanted Reincarnator. Killing them will reward you with Liankoupei points.

"Hint: The entire Slogan Squad has been wiped out." The Killing Reincarnator has been given a reward of Merit Points upon defeat.

"Notification: Squad #1 has been wiped out by Reincarnator #2." The Killer who encountered Reincarnator #2 is wanted. Killing him will reward you with Murder Power Points.

Three clues sent a chill down Li Wei's spine.

These three killers who suddenly appeared were clearly members of the Reincarnation Squad. Unexpectedly, their actions were astonishing.

"Could it be that their plan is to kill all the other reincarnators?" Li Wei stroked his chin. He had taken down Reincarnation Squad 6 himself, and now only two squads remained.

In other words, the next target of the "Number Reincarnation Squad" is their own squad.

Suddenly, Li Wei noticed several green dots appearing on the map on the tissue paper, moving towards his location.

ECHO is currently off.
