Chapter 239:
Meanwhile, at the martial academy, Lin Hui maintained an appearance of complete ignorance.
And genuinely so.
Between Surrounding Wind and Wind Disaster Affinity, his raw power and defenses had reached an extraordinary level. Through the body tempering wrought by his Typhoon Sword Technique, the Star Breath Sword Canon had since driven his physical strength considerably further.
According to his own tests, if he stood before an average Divine Officer and allowed them to attack freely, they still might not break his defenses.
With that kind of durability, Lin Hui did not need superficial protection.
Furthermore, his reaction speed far surpassed his peers—a prerequisite for sustaining such extreme velocities. Uncontrolled speed would only injure the user; failing to react in time would cause his combat ability to collapse entirely.
An increase in movement speed, therefore, demanded a commensurate sharpening of reaction time. Simply put: anyone slower than him possessed inferior reflexes.
Consequently, Lin Hui restricted his perception to a mere two-hundred-meter radius. As long as he reacted before an opponent breached that sensory threshold, he would be fine.
Of course, he had already received advance notice via Wind Chime that Tuyue and Ning Qianzhi were looking for him.
