Marcello nodded and said, “The Primordials were the ones who left the Celestial Abode behind. This should be a
piece of cake. Let me impart to you some of my techniques. You should be able to pass the barrier easily.”
Right then, the Son of Heaven stood up.
Though he failed a moment ago, he now had a rough understanding of the formation. Then, he tried breaching
through the formations’ defenses.
James and Marcello observed him intently.
The Son of Heaven charged into the formation and dodged a succession of attacks flawlessly. Soon, he was already
halfway through. In the end, a dozen golems attacked all at once.
Meanwhile, the Son of Heaven performed an unusual technique. No matter how many golems attacked him, he was
able to dodge them in time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEventually, he passed the formation.
Standing at the other side, he turned to look at James and Marcello and flashed them a smirk. Then, he turned to
leave, descending the slope and disappearing from view.
Marcello was unconcerned. After all, this was only the third barrier. There would be more to come, and there was
no way the Son of Heaven could pass through all nine barriers.
James looked at Marcello and asked, “You were saying you’re going to impart me some of your techniques?”
“Mhm.” Marcello nodded slightly and said, “Although you are strong, you have never undergone official training.
Thus, you’re unable to exert your full strength.
“Now, sit in a lotus position on the ground.”
James did as he was told.
“Close your eyes and empty your mind.
“Relax…
“Try sensing your surroundings with your Psynergy,” Marcello said.
Then, he suddenly struck James with his fist. However, James managed to instinctively dodge his attack.
“It’s done,” Marcello said.
James opened his eyes and looked at Marcello, stunned.
Marcello smiled and said, “Our eyes have blind spots, and our senses have a brief moment of delay. When you
charged through the formation just now, you used your senses to detect the attacks. Then, you transmit the
information to your brain, which will then make a judgment. However, this process requires time. This caused your
speed to slow down, thereby failing to pass through the golems.
“Empty your mind and discharge Psynergy to sense your surroundings. Let the body make its own decision, not the
brain. Just now, when I tried striking you, your body dodged
instinctively. That’s because your Psynergy sensed a looming threat and performed a conditioned reflex.”
James listened intently.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMarcello’s words seemed to have opened his mind.
“Don’t look at me like that. These are merely the fundamentals. With your current strength, you should be able to
pass the third barrier with no problem at all once you master what I’ve told you. However, it takes time for the body
to learn to perform a conditioned reflex. Regardless, there’s no need for you to learn this now,” Marcello said.
“Mhm.” James nodded slightly.
Marcello said, “Once I finish training you with my methods for a few days, you should be able to pass the third
barrier.”
“Thank you.”
James was thankful for him.
Marcello smiled and said, “Without further ado, let’s begin.”
After he spoke, he appeared before James in the blink of an eye and struck him. Before James could react, he was
sent flying and collapsed heavily to the ground, groaning in pain.
“Hey, at least give me a heads-up!”
He crawled up with great difficulty.
However, the moment he stood up, Marcello immediately appeared before him and launched a succession of
attacks. Still, Marcello had controlled his strength. James would not be in any danger.
