Fighting Gamma Creatures at Night Part 3

'Listen, Smell, Touch, Feel and See. These are the five senses of our body. We use these senses on a daily basis but I never realized just how much further we can go with these senses,'

'Spiritual Sense! It is considered to be the sixth sense that a cultivator awakens. It allows a cultivator to create three-dimensional figures of his surroundings inside his mind.'

'But, we have never used the five senses' full potential. So, why did we develop the sixth one? I didn't have the answer to this question but I know that if I use my Spiritual Sense together with my other senses, I can heighten their abilities.'

'It allows me to understand my battlefield even more allowing me to see and process the entire battlefield in my mind. It allows me to think of the possible movements of my own and my enemy.'

'All of these merge together to create a perfect opportunity for me to actually train while fighting. During my trial, I was concentrating on training and at that moment, I realized something.'

'What I need to grow stronger much faster is none other than the restrictions. A type of restriction that doesn't hamper my strength but always keeps my strength in a limit, constantly allowing me to evolve and get stronger.'

Tyler swung the sword in his hand and sliced the head of the Gamma Creature next to him. But, it didn't there. His sword slightly changed its course and head straight at the neck of another Gamma Creature. His sword pierced that neck and sliced it.

Suddenly, his body moved to the right and ducked slightly down. He raised his right elbow and smacked the chin of the Gamma Creature although it was hard to call that a chin.

When the Gamma Creature fell back, he took his left step and turned around. He raised his hand and slashed his sword against that Gamma Creature's neck.

Upon finishing it, he continued to kill other Gamma Creatures. Each strike from his sword was directly aimed at their neck. So, he was completely absorbed in his training plus fighting.

But, there was something more going on.

On the side, Tim was inspired by Tyler to get better. And, Tim was really trying everything he could to get stronger.

While fighting, Tim was constantly observing Tyler. He was observing Tyler's movements and reading each of his movements, he began to understand something.

'He is not using his full strength. Each strike seems so fast and powerful but it is full of care. For each strike, he is putting the exact strength that would allow him to preserve his overall strength while killing these creatures.'

'But, why so? Why is he preserving his strength? Is he exhausted by the trial?'

Suddenly, he understood something and his light bulb turned on.

'Of course, he is. Once the trial ends, you only get half an hour to finish what you need to finish. He finished the fifth trial. Of course, he would be exhausted.'

'But, something bugs me even more. Why is he able to exactly find out how much strength he required to kill these creatures? I have never seen him before. He should be new at this but he is fighting like a pro.'

Bang!

While Tim got distracted by Tyler, a Gamma Creature came from behind and smashed his back with its claw.

"Argh!"

Tim grunted in pain and struck the ground. The pain in his back was distorting his expression. But, the Gamma Creature wouldn't wait for him to stand up. One of the Gamma Creatures rushed from the side and pounced at him.

Its body was covered with dark red energy that seemed extremely destructive. Tim also noticed it and tried to move but his back was injured.

Splash!

"It seems like you lost. How about you let me handle this one then?" Tyler stood next to him as he cut the neck of that Gamma Creature.

When Tim heard his words, frustration emerged on his face. He gritted his teeth and swallowed his pain. He got up and while his hands were trembling, he held his spear.

"I can still fight."

Tyler moved his eyeballs to the side.

He was noticing Tim's gaze. He understood that Tim was observing him but never expected this guy to completely get lost in observing him so much that he would forget about the surroundings.

And, the most suspicious thing about him was that he wasn't looking at him with any ill intent. Tyler's senses are currently heightened to the point where he could even read emotions.

So, he was surprised to find Tim looking at him with respect and a strong desire to surpass him.

He thought that all those high-class families and younger generations of those families were just a bunch of highly talented people who look down on everyone else. But, looking at Tim, he found his perspective to be incorrect.

Tim neither seemed jealous nor angered by Tyler's talent. Rather, he wanted to understand how Tyler was doing what he was doing.

And, for the first time, Tyler felt a strange emotion in his heart. He felt like he should save this guy even if he was from his enemy's family, even if he could become his enemy in the future.

Tyler knew his heart very well. He would rarely save people in distress, much less his enemies. But, for the first time, he found his heart changing a little bit.

Tyler shook his head and recollected his thoughts. He was constantly moving around, dodging the attack while thinking about Tim. Thanks to his senses, his body was able to react quickly so he could now do the thinking and move differently at the same time.

'Pathetic! How could I let myself forget about my surroundings? The last thing that I want to do is die in such a pathetic way. No, I can't let my get distracted.'

'If I can't think of a way to improve my strength right now, I will think about it later. Right now…'

Tim clenched his spear and poured his spiritual energy into his spear. His spiritual energy was unique. It was constantly changing between two different colors.

The red and the azure. Right now, it turned azure and a massive amount of energy burst out of his body. He pushed his foot against the ground and his body dashed toward the Gamma Creature.

The azure energy emerged out of his spear and formed the shape of an azure dragon. His eyes were locked into a group of Gamma Creatures. As he thrust his spear forward, the Azure Dragon roared out of his spear.

'Right now, I need to fight.'
