Chapter 36: Vision Development

Upon killing the Mirage Lynx, Su Chen began to exercise an absorbance technique.

After a being with Origin Energy died, the Origin Energy in its body would slowly dissipate into the air.

Some said that cultivating at that very instant would have twice the effect while halving one’s effort.

However, rapid improvement was never seen. There were even a few people who believed that this saying was fabricated. Thus, many people had different attitudes about cultivating near corpses.

Su Chen didn’t know either if there was any improvement. After cultivating for a brief moment, he stopped. He did not feel any significant changes.

The next order of business was to reap the spoils of battle.

The body of a Vicious Beast was full of treasures. Their hide could be sold, their meat could be eaten, and their blood and marrow could be used to refine Bloodline Medicine. If they possessed Origin Crystals, those were precious treasures that could also be used to improve one’s cultivation.

However, this lynx was only a low-tier Vicious Beast, so the chance for it to possess an Origin Crystal was less than one in a thousand. Even if one was able to use it to refine a Bloodline Medicine, the medicine would still be of lowest grade. Its value was limited, and it would be inconvenient to carry around. Thus, it was better just to give up on it.

Battling this lynx had consumed two Origin Stones. When he subtracted the value of the Origin Stones from his overall profits, Su Chen discovered that he had actually netted a small loss.

First of all, his battle with the lynx had been too prolonged, forcing him to increase his rate of energy consumption. Second of all, he had no way of carrying the entire corpse with him due to his limited storage space.

If only he had a spatial ring.

However, losing money meant very little to Su Chen. More importantly, he had obtained even more precious experience through this battle.

This was the first time that he had ever battled against a Vicious Beast before. Having witnessed the strength of these Vicious Beasts, Su Chen had finally realized the gap in strength that existed between him and those Vicious Beasts. At the same time, his self-confidence in fighting a Vicious Beast had been established, and his own strength had been greatly tempered.

Most importantly, Su Chen’s eyes had once again made a new breakthrough.

As of this moment, Su Chen’s eyes had changed three times.

After the first change, Su Chen felt the presence of light. His world was no longer shrouded in darkness.

After the second change, Su Chen’s eyes could finally see, and he had completely recovered his vision.

These two changes had allowed Su Chen’s vision to be that of a normal person’s.

However, the third change had brought for Su Chen an experience that he had never had before, one that normal people could not have.

That was “motion vision”.

Su Chen had discovered that his eyes could now capture objects moving at high speed, slowing down those movements to make them more visible. He could also see more clearly and accurately. Su Chen could see mosquitos flying by over a hundred feet away. He could even see the afterimages that the mosquito’s wings left behind.

Was this what the old beggar had meant when he said that he would allow Su Chen to see much more?

If so, he was not wrong. After being stuck in a nightmare for three years, his suffering had finally turned into rejoicing!

Although he had guessed a long time ago that his eyes would continue to evolve, Su Chen was still unable to suppress the excitement in his heart when this evolution actually happened.

Su Chen stopped trying to lure Vicious Beasts to fight them for the rest of the day. Instead, he sat on the peak of the hill, constantly testing out his new motion vision.

After playing around with it for a whole day, Su Chen finally understood how to use his motion vision.

He could activate and deactivate his motion vision. Every time he deactivated it, his vision would return to normal.

Long-term usage of this motion vision would exhaust his eyes. However, as long as he closed them, the fatigue of his eyes would gradually decrease and they would rapidly recover.

If his eyes were too fatigued when he deactivated the motion vision, his regular vision would also become temporarily blurry. However, once they recovered, this blurred vision aftereffect would also quickly disappear.

Conversely, if he didn’t use his motion vision for a long time, preserving his eyes’ energy, then his regular vision would also improve. Although this improvement was not very significant, it was already much better than Su Chen’s original sight.

Finally, motion vision was just motion vision. It didn’t alter time and it didn’t alter his own movements. It could only grant him the ability to see fast-moving objects. How he reacted to those fast-moving objects was still up to himself, just like how he had used it to kill that lynx.
