Chapter 7 Innate Superpowers
Carelessness can lead to serious mistakes.

"Let's hold things steady for now, calm down, and continue our cultivation." Han Yun took a deep breath to compose himself.

The next moment, his innate superpowers were unleashed.

Time seemed to slow down suddenly.

But this was actually an illusion. After several days of exploration, Han Yun finally understood the superpower that his predecessor had awakened.

After enveloping their entire body in Qi, their perception will be greatly enhanced, allowing them to capture the movements of everything around them, much like the compound eyes of an insect.

Compound eyes do not slow down movements; on the contrary, they make movements appear slower.

From a scientific perspective, a compound eye is a visual organ composed of many ommatidia. Each ommatidia can only capture an independent image point, and these image points are eventually pieced together to form a complete image.

Because the photoreceptors inside the umbilicus of a compound eye recover quickly from stimulation to the point where they can receive stimulation again, the compound eye can distinguish a great many changes in light and shadow per unit of time and is very sensitive to movement.

This means that from the perspective of compound eyes, external movements appear to be slower than they actually are, which allows insects to better cope with rapidly changing environments.

Overall, compound eyes possess three characteristics: high temporal resolution, a wide visual range, and high adaptability to the surrounding environment.

The principle behind Han Yun's innate special ability is quite similar to that of compound eyes.

However, Han Yun's innate ability is to use Qi to assist the five senses that humans possess, to capture the surrounding environment, and then feed back the information into his mind to form an image.

At this stage, Han Yun relies more on vision, but in the future he may be able to combine it with other senses, or even a sixth sense, which involves the future development of his own special abilities.

Ultimately, Han Yun's innate ability can be traced back to the "nature" within his life, that is, the awakening of his soul.

The awakening of his innate supernatural abilities also greatly increased Han Yun's cultivation of sexual techniques.

In practical terms, it can increase the margin for error in combat, making it extremely suitable for a combat novice like Han Yun.

Extraordinary people all emphasize the cultivation of both body and spirit.

If it were the previous body, one could only sense it during battle, but wouldn't have time to react, given the physical strength of the body.

It's like two people fighting. You know exactly which direction he's going to throw a punch from and where he's going to hit you, but you just can't dodge it. Isn't that a waste?

Now, Han Yun possesses the Silent Technique, and with the combined cultivation and life essence of Duan Chengtian, he has made up for his shortcomings in life cultivation.

Han Yun took a deep breath, his innate Qi circulated within his body, and the Silent Technique quietly activated. He lowered his body slightly, gripped the hilt of the Tang Hengdao sword with his right hand, and his eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Whoosh-!"

In an instant, his figure transformed into a blurry afterimage, his blade flashing like lightning, tracing several sharp arcs through the air. The surrounding trees seemed to freeze for a moment.

Subsequently.

"Snap! Snap!...Snap!"

Five trees, each as thick as a bowl, snapped in unison, their cut surfaces smooth as mirrors. Han Yun's figure had already appeared ten meters away, his Tang-style sword steadily sheathed.

"call……"

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and turned to look at the fallen trees.

In that instant, he pushed the speed of the Silent Technique to its limit, and combined it with the sharpness of Tang Hengdao's blade, he completed five strikes in the blink of an eye.

To outsiders, it looked as if he merely brushed past the trees, causing them to snap on their own. "The speed is sufficient, but the control of power is not refined enough." Han Yun frowned slightly, walked to the nearest broken tree, and ran his hand over the broken surface.

Although the cut surface is flat, a closer look reveals tiny burrs, indicating that the blade still vibrated slightly when it made the cut. If it were a true master, the cut surface would be as smooth as if it had been polished.

Of course, this also has something to do with the quality of the Tang Dynasty sword. After all, it is an ancient weapon and a standard piece of equipment. How good can you expect it to be?
"It seems I need more practice," Han Yun muttered to himself.

He stood still again and began to use the silent technique once more.

This time, he deliberately slowed down, focusing on controlling the power of each strike. A flash of light, and another tree fell, its cut much smoother than before.

And so Han Yun practiced again and again, from sunrise to sunset, until half of his Qi was depleted before he stopped to rest.

As night fell, Han Yun sat cross-legged on the bed in his rented room, adjusting his breathing to recover. He felt the innate Qi gradually filling his body and silently planned his next cultivation path.

"The art of silence only requires following the instructions. The rest is a matter of patience and gradual improvement. As for swordsmanship, although I have the battlefield killing techniques of the Tang soldiers, it lacks subtlety and variation. I might suffer if I encounter a true master."

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and took a wooden box from under the bed.

Upon opening the box, one finds more than ten sharp scalpels neatly arranged inside, gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

"Perhaps, we should give this a try."

Han Yun picked up a scalpel, his fingertips twirling it lightly. The blade traced a graceful arc in the moonlight. The silent technique combined with this small, deadly weapon was perhaps the best combination.

He closed his eyes, recalling Duan Chengtian's combat memories. The techniques of assassination and infiltration gradually became clear, and the scalpel in his hand seemed to come alive, nimbly turning between his fingers.

Han Yun tried attaching his Qi to the scalpel, and with a gentle flick, the blade sliced ​​through the wooden table as easily as cutting tofu.

"Indeed, small weapons are more suitable for silent techniques..." Han Yun nodded in satisfaction.

Although the scalpel he bought was ordinary, its advantage lay in its lightness and concealment. Combined with the stealth of the silent technique, it could produce unexpected results.

"Whoosh!"

The scalpel suddenly flew from his hand and embedded itself deeply into the bullseye on the wall.

Han Yun's lips curled up slightly. Although he was a beginner, it seemed that his hidden weapon skills were not too bad. He got up, walked to the wall, pulled out the scalpel, and returned to his original position to continue practicing.

And so, day after day, Han Yun continued to cultivate in the open space and rented room in the suburbs, his strength steadily improving. Like a sponge, he greedily absorbed Duan Chengtian's experience and memories, turning them into his own.

A few days later, one night, Han Yun stood in an open space, surrounded by a dozen wooden stakes. He took a deep breath, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, deep knife marks appeared on the wooden stakes, and Han Yun's figure appeared at the other end of the field. He slowly sheathed his knife, and the wooden stakes behind him broke off and fell to the ground with a thud.

"It's finally done." Han Yun nodded in satisfaction.

He has now perfectly combined the art of silence with swordsmanship, and his control over speed and power has reached a new level.

Although he is still far from Duan Chengtian's level of combat prowess, where he can "pass through a sea of ​​soldiers without a single leaf touching him," he is no longer the naive man he once was.

Han Yun looked up at the starry sky, his eyes shining with determination.

"It's time to start the next step of the plan."
