Chapter251 Deceptive Assassin!
"It's you yourself that is depriving yourself of your flexibility!"
Shi Xiaobai speaking unequivocally confounded Kevin. However, he did not subconsciously retort like he used to. Instead, his eyes lit up and said, "Why do you say so?"
At this moment, Mozzie had also walked over. Her eyes had a glint of curiosity, and even more of anticipation. Lord Shi Xiaobai's lectures were not to be missed!
Shi Xiaobai looked at Kevin and did not answer directly. Instead, he returned with a question, "Why do you use your superpower every time you attack?"
Kevin was slightly taken aback.
Why? The answer was not anything. Ever since he awakened his superpower, he had always used the powerful strength given to him by his superpower in front of his friends to make them gasp in awe. Slowly, he went down the route of a pure Strength-based warrior, with each strike in pursuit of the most terrifying destructive power. Of course, he had to use his superpower.
However, with Shi Xiaobai asking him now, Kevin was somewhat confused.
Yes, why did he had to use 'Price of Might' every time he attacked?
Shi Xiaobai noticed Kevin's silence and did not wait. Instead, he continued asking, “Why do you use your superpower every time you use Black Bear Dominating Palm?"
Kevin's brows knitted slightly. Black Bear Dominating Palm was extremely destructive.
Coupled with 'Price of Might', wouldn't its power be immeasurable?
Furthermore, he had only grasped Black Bear Dominating Palm as his only single offensive skill. This was probably normal for a rookie or freshman, learning one skill from the three categories—offensive skills, defensive skills, and movement techniques. They would then work hard to raise it from the Familiarized Proficiency to the Exemplary Mastery. After all, they should not bite more than they could chew.
Not everyone was like Shi Xiaobai!
Kevin had such a thought, but he did not answer.
Shi Xiaobai sighed lightly and asked another time, "Why do you choose to bias yourself to a warrior-based fighting style?"
Kevin frowned even more. His superpower raised his strength and weakened his movement. Wasn't it obvious to bias himself towards a warrior's fighting style?
Shi Xiaobai's three questions confused Kevin. However, he knew Shi Xiaobai would not randomly question him. Hence, he began to contemplate in deep thought with his brows furrowed.
Shi Xiaobai did not seem to be in a hurry and waited for Kevin to think.
Moments later, Kevin sighed. His eyes were still somewhat glazed over as he said, "I have never considered those three questions. This is because my superpower destined me to walk this path. I can't think of an answer. I always thought that doing it this way was for granted."
Shi Xiaobai said earnestly, "It is these preconceived notions that limited your advantage. You always think that geniuses are born, but you have ignored the need to unearth them. From This King's point of view, the best route for you should be...an assassin!"
"Assassin?"
Kevin was dumbfounded from shock. He never expected to hear such an answer.
His superpower was suitable to go down the path of an assassin?
Mozzie was also slightly surprised. However, due to her complete trust in Lord Shi Xiaobai, she was mostly feeling curious. She could not help but charmingly say, "Lord Shi Xiaobai, don't keep us guessing..."
Shi Xiaobai nodded and said seriously, "Let's first talk about the three issues. Firstly, your frequent use of your superpower is extremely foolish. Although the cost is fixed, you can reduce the impact of it by seizing the correct moment to use it. From This King's point of view, your superpower should be used as a trump card. At least, it should not be frequently overused."
"Secondly, the usage of Black Bear Dominating Palm has certain preparatory movements that make it easy to be dodged. Furthermore, Black Bear Dominating Palm itself does not lack destructive power. However, by making superfluous use of your superpower coupled with an easily-dodged offensive skill, you are just enlarging your weaknesses and burying your own advantage."
"Thirdly, a warrior has a fighting style that has extremely high comprehensive requirements. Offense, defense, speed cannot be lacking in any way. However, you only have an advantage at offense. Your physical and psionic defense are lacking, while your movement technique is not even worth mentioning. You do not possess the qualities of a warrior."
Shi Xiaobai answered the three questions he asked. Kevin felt a jolt as his face turned pale. After hearing what Shi Xiaobai said, Kevin immediately realized the problems he had. This was something that he could easily have thought of if he had looked at it from another point of view. However, his preconceived notions had become his blind spot.
Kevin's lips went pale. He realized that he had been ridiculously wrong. With his superpower being his pride, a manifestation of the difference between a genius and a mortal, him choosing to frequently use his superpower during battle was only for a laughable sense of superiority.
He knew that Black Bear Dominating Palm was an offensive skill that had a delay before damage could be dealt, but because his surrounding friends marveled at the power of his Black Bear Dominating Palm, he had been complacent and forgot himself.
He had blindly thought of promulgating his advantage so as to gain a greater sense of superiority. As such, all his efforts and focus were placed on his attacks. He had ignored the cultivation of his defense and movement techniques. Yet, he sadly thought of himself as a Strength-based warrior. But in fact, which kind of Strength-based warrior had such weak defenses like him?
The more Kevin thought, the paler he became. He muttered, "What should I do?"
He could only rest his hopes on Shi Xiaobai. Shi Xiaobai, who he had once resented but slowly made him speechless and then convinced, was at this moment likely to be a crucial lighthouse in his life.
God DogLeading, help me!
Kevin recalled of this name he had deliberately forgotten.
Shi Xiaobai smiled and said, "Very simple. Switch builds and become an assassin!"
Assassin!
Kevin's eyes lit up as though he had clung onto a life-saving straw. He hurriedly asked, "How?"
Shi Xiaobai said, "This King said before. Your superpower is best used as a trump card. The best choice is in pursuit for a one-shot kill! However, the one-shot kill This King talks about is different from how you use Black Bear Dominating Palm augmented with your superpower. It's different from overpowering your opponent, but what you should aim for is a surprise instant kill!"
"What's the greatest advantage of a sudden burst of power? It's sudden as well as...deceitful! For example, by using three normal Black Bear Dominating Palm strikes consecutively, and when you suddenly augment it with your superpower on your fourth time. What would the effect be? A very ordinary kick with a sudden augmentation of superpower, what would the effect be? Deceiving your opponent into a habitual mindset is your greatest advantage."
"If you can catch your opponent unprepared, the cost of your body stiffening will be reduced. Furthermore, your body's stiffening can also be used as a deceitful trick. When your opponent has realized that your sudden burst of power will result in your body stiffening, and you suddenly pretend to stiffen your body despite not using your superpower, so as to deliberately show a flaw, that can lead to your opponent's carelessness. And what follows would be an opportunity for you."
"Hence, This King believes that by transiting to an assassin, but not the charging or sneak attack assassin, instead a—deceptive assassin!"

Chapter252 Super Healer and Godlike Mentor
Deceptive Assassin!
Kevin's dull eyes were gradually restored of their light. His perplexity slowly disappeared. Shi Xiaobai's words seemed to have opened up a whole new world for him, as though the fog in front of his eyes had been lifted...
Kevin asked, "What should I do next?"
Although Kevin had some ideas, he did not dare to push the boundaries. He had already come to a realization how worthless his so-called sense of superiority was.
Shi Xiaobai obviously had some ideas. He said, "An assassin's basic nature is being able to create an instantaneous burst and being agile. You already have that instantaneous burst, but your movement technique is your weakest aspect. Hence, what's next is for you to seriously cultivate your movement technique. You will have to regain the 'flexibility' you deprived yourself of."
"After that, you will need an extremely fast offensive skill, or even refrain from using any offensive skills. Your trump card should not have any preparatory movements. It's best if it has some deceptive component to it."
"And most important is the learning of how to deceive! Deceit requires intelligence and courage. There is a higher requirement of knowing how to seize opportunities. Things like how to deceive your opponent and even yourself are things you are in dire need of learning."
Following that, Shi Xiaobai shared with him his comprehension of deceitful techniques from the time when he used Crab Steps. This comprehension was slowly grasped when he was being constantly one-shot in the head by Thomas, time after time. Some of it was Thomas's theory and knowledge after researching Yaris's divine Crab Steps.
Deception was not a simple matter. In order to deceive the opponents' eyes, senses, psychological state of mind and even their subconsciousness, every progressive state contained great wisdom. Shi Xiaobai's deceit techniques were only limited to such research. He could only try his best to use elementary words to teach and guide Kevin. It was ultimately on Kevin to do his own in-depth study.
After more than ten minutes of lecturing, Kevin had gained a lot of useful insights despite being still somewhat confounded. Every time he felt a new path open, he was more determined about his next path.
A fraudster essentially had no fate with glory, much less superiority. However, Kevin had already realized the mistakes of his past. He had suddenly matured a lot.
Kevin's eyes were filled with gratitude as he said, "Let's go. We've already wasted a lot of time."
In order to help Mozzie and him, Shi Xiaobai had truly done his best. He did not care about the passage of time, as though the trial was not on his mind.
Shi Xiaobai nodded and suddenly reached out his hand to pinch Kevin's shoulder.
Kevin's eyes stared widely as he said aghast, "This..."
He felt that the psionic power that he had just expended was rapidly being restored!
Shi Xiaobai said, "Do not worry about damage or the consumption of psionic power. This King can restore them in a timely manner. However, do not force yourself to do something overly dangerous. The actual combat that follows next is very important. How much you can improve yourself will depend on your willpower and effort."
Mozzie and Kevin nodded their heads heavily. At this moment, they felt their blood boiling. With an opportunity for them to become better so close at hand, if they failed to grasp it, they would definitely regret it for the rest of their lives.
...
As they walked through the cave, they encountered the third batch of goblins. There were a total of thirteen, ten dark green ones and three dark red ones.
Mozzie easily used Kun Peng Hammer Technique to finish the ten dark green goblins.
Kevin was in a somewhat sorry situation, but he was much better than before. As he dodged for a prolonged period of time while receiving the three dark red goblins' attacks, he had been inflicted with light injuries. However, his Cloud Traversal Steps had enjoyed a small boost. He chose to use Psionic Wavelet out of the five basic psionic offensive skills as his trump card. Psionic Wavelet Palm was the simplest and most direct palm technique.
He slowly learned how to seek the opportunity to use Wavelet Palm. Although he was in a sorry state during the process, he was still able to grab the chance to use Price of Might to augment his Wavelet Palm to instantly kill a dark red goblin. And due to the proper grasping of the timing, the disadvantageous state of his body stiffening up no longer put him in a predicament.
After the battle, Shi Xiaobai used Massage Technique of God to restore the duo to their full psionic power and used the power of light to heal Kevin of his wounds. Suddenly, he became like a super-healer.
Shi Xiaobai evaluated the duo based on their performance, "Mozzie, some of your actions are redundant. Also your strength is too dispersed and not focused onto a point. When you use Kun Peng Hammer Technique, try to keep it simple and concise. Focus your strength, while taking into account your speed and control."
"Kevin, the accelerating and decelerating of your movement technique is done too hastily. Making a judgment only at the final moment won
't do. You need to learn how to observe the minute motions of your opponent, and judge the opponent's next attack. During this battle, you had seven opportunities you did not grasp. Your acuity of opportunities still needs improvement. The root of the problem is that your judgment is lacking. So, you need to first improve that!"
"Pay attention to the points This King said and continue working hard!"
Mozzie nodded seriously and said, "Alright, Teacher Shi Xiaobai!"
Kevin nodded his head while he pondered, "Alright, I'll take note of it."
...
As they ventured deeper into the caves, every batch of goblins they encountered increased in number. Slowly, dark blue, dark yellow, dark purple, and various other types of goblins appeared. It became harder and harder for Kevin and Mozzie to obtain victory, and the injuries that were inflicted on them and the consumption of psionic power increased with each batch.
However, Shi Xiaobai was like a bottomless healer. Regardless of how injured they were, the power of light could rapidly rejuvenate them. Regardless of how much psionic power they expended, a simple pinch from the Massage Technique of God restored them.
And Shi Xiaobai's roles as an observer and mentor were extremely impressive. He could keenly pinpoint every flaw during their battles and come up with a corresponding solution, giving them the most pragmatic guidance, leading them onto the right path.
From Mozzie and Kevin's point of view, Shi Xiaobai alone was comparable to a medical team and an education team, or even better!
How exaggerated was this matter?
It turned out that Shi Xiaobai being so powerful was not only because of his unique talents, but that his thought processes of battles were more in depth than anyone else’s. Maybe he was somewhat naive and childish in certain aspects, but he had wisdom and comprehension that far exceeded others when it came to combat.
In fact, Shi Xiaobai's comprehension of combat being so in-depth was a result of him experiencing numerous defeats. Thomas, Hisith, and Sunless had all made him suffer defeat. He had never steered clear of defeat, but faced it with a smile. He learned his lessons through failure and obtained progress.
And throughout his suffering, be it the virtual world, the Underworld or the Demon City just recently, Shi Xiaobai had experienced numerous actual fights. He commonly fought one against many, or challenged people levels above him. He had always been using his life to engage in combat in life and death situations!
