Chapter 919: Intuition
After overexerting her sensory abilities for the first time, Sha felt as if she were in a living hell. At the age of just 17, she cried her heart out. Su Xiao now felt the same way; his brain felt like thousands of needles were pricking it. Whenever his sensory abilities touched anything around him, they sent back intense pain, piercing through his heart, and he couldn't retract his sensory skills for the moment.
However, this feeling was much better than when he awakened his Devourer ability. That sensation was genuinely unbearable, making him wish he could slit his own throat. Su Xiao leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, and held it in his mouth without moving.
"Hey? Dead yet?" Seeing Su Xiao's reaction, Sha stopped chewing her dried pineapple. She thought Su Xiao was about to die because his response was too abnormal.
"Temporarily... not dead," Su Xiao exhaled a puff of smoke.
"This isn't right." She just got up, but Su Xiao raised his hand to stop her.
"Don't come near me, my senses are in pain."
"Sensory pain... this means the side effects of sensory overexertion have appeared. Your endurance is quite impressive." She seemed a bit disappointed. She had been looking forward to seeing Su Xiao in so much pain that he'd doubt his existence.
"Enduring pain is a self-discipline for becoming stronger." Su Xiao felt the stabbing pain in his brain gradually subside.
"Disappointed."
