256 Deceptive Assassin! (2/2)

“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!”
