Chapter 879: Delicate Night (3)

“...” Shen Yanxiao’s smile froze before it suddenly twitched.

Xiu looked at Shen Yanxiao with his cold golden eyes.

“Too weak.”

“...” Shen Yanxiao wanted to die.

“You wasted too much time. The speed of your hand signs already is very fast so you could have started it the moment you grab an arrow. If you do that, you will have completed all the hand signs once you nock an arrow. However, you have the habit of forming hand signs after you have nocked an arrow. It is a waste of time, and even if it didn’t take much longer, a small difference in time could be fatal.” Xiu’s ice-cold voice did not contain a trace of emotion as he commented on Shen Yanxiao’s attack.

Like Xiu mentioned, Shen Yanxiao would always overlook the fact that it took her less than a second to nock an arrow. On the other hand, it also took her less than a second to complete the needed hand signs. She could have done it while she drew the arrow, but she would only subconsciously do it after nocking an arrow .

Shen Yanxiao listened attentively. Xiu was right; she had not noticed it.

“The opponents you have encountered until now are either as strong as you or weaker than you. For such a small difference in time, they would not be able to react properly. However, if you were to encounter someone who has gone through the second class promotion or above, you would lose your life in less than a second.” Before Xiu could finish his sentence, his slender figure had already disappeared from Shen Yanxiao’s sight.

The next second, an ice-cold hand caressed Shen Yanxiao’s slender neck.

“If I were your enemy, you would have already died a hundred times over.” Xiu’s deep voice echoed in Shen Yanxiao’s ears.

A real expert would only need the blink of an eye to launch an attack. In a real battle, even a millisecond of hesitation could cost one’s life.

Xiu’s cold fingertips touched Shen Yanxiao’s warm skin. He did not exert any strength, but he slowly removed his hand from her neck.

“I... got it.” Shen Yanxiao felt a chill run down her spine. She knew that Xiu had not used his full strength yet. Otherwise, she would have been in his grasp before she could even realize.

Xiu nodded in satisfaction, and he appeared before Shen Yanxiao again.

“Archers are a fragile profession, and your habits while being one are not good. As an Archer, you must not stay in the exact same position before or after an attack. Archers’s strengths are their agility and long-range. Even though I asked you to attack, you were not serious about it. If you don’t get used to your archery skills, you will suffer in the future.” Xiu crossed his arms calmly. In his eyes, Shen Yanxiao’s attacks were full of flaws. She was only relying on her special ability to train in both magic and battle aura.

In reality, her actual combat experience was pathetic.

“If you cannot hide your tracks well, you will become a live target. The opponent will sense your position from the direction the arrow came from. In the future, you will have to face people who have gone through the second class promotion and above. It will be hard to kill them with one strike. Your current habits will easily expose you in a fight. If they do not die, you will.” Xiu was very reasonable as he mercilessly pointed out all of Shen Yanxiao’s weaknesses.

Shen Yanxiao listened quietly. Xiu was telling the truth. She definitely had developed a bad habit of attacking.

As an Archer, they should utilize their agility and long-range to their fullest extent.

Shen Yanxiao was glad that Xiu was the one who pointed out her flaws.
