The huge wooden barrel was filled with light green potion, and the air was filled with a complex smell of herbal medicine.

The calm water suddenly surged, and a pale face slowly floated upwards, and a light green potion slid across the sides of the face.

Duan Mu stood up from the wooden barrel with his upper body bare shirtless and looked at the scar on his chest. The night of medicine bath and special reply skills made the knife edge on his chest that was still fatal yesterday. Now it has scarred, and some places have even left, revealing his newly-grown fair skin.

Crash.

Standing up from the wooden barrel, Duan Mu wiped his body, and did not wash away the marinated herbal fragrance on his body with clean water.

Anyway, the smell is not particularly bad, and according to the knowledge Duan Muxin has obtained, these medicinal fragrances will be of great benefit to his subsequent recovery.

While wearing clothes, Duan Mu focused his attention on the system interface in his mind.

...

As always, there has not made much progress in spiritual pressure. Even after yesterday's fight, it has only risen by more than 60 points.

Compared with other aspects, although Duan Mu majored in the advanced ghost realm this month, the one who made the most progress was the low ghost realm that he practiced by the way. After learning the advanced ghost realm and then practicing the low ghost realm with the foundation of the advanced ghost realm, it was like a dimensional reduction attack.

In just one month, all the low-level ghost paths activated by Duan Mu reached the level of "intermediate".

"Hiss~~"

Looking at the three digits behind the current experience value, Duan Mu only felt a toothache.

I have to learn it sooner or later, but in Duan Mu's mind, the priority of replying is far behind spiritual pressure and combat skills. And normally, Duan Mu's injury yesterday actually only needs to upgrade the reply to the intermediate level of 3,000.

But before investing experience, Duan Mu couldn't figure out how much experience he invested in the "reply" to ensure that he could recover his combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Moreover, he couldn't think too much at that moment, so he simply added it all to the reply.

This made Duan Mu’s original cultivation plan fail before it even started...

He originally planned to use the 2,800 experience value he had finally earned, concentrate on practicing for one month, and raise the spiritual pressure to the advanced level, which is the level of the deputy captain of the Thirteenth Team of the Guarding Court.

"I knew there would be such an outcome, yesterday after obtaining experience points, I directly added all the spiritual pressure in one breath."

When Duan Mu thought of this, he regretted it so much. After the battle began, he never thought that this battle would be so dangerous, and even thought about how to use experience points in his mind so that he would not waste it.

Because in terms of spiritual pressure strength or combat skills, Duan Mu is far stronger than Ju Su and others.

Those evil people from low-level officials are an example. Duan Mu doesn't need to lose any thoughts to solve them. Duan Mu's mental state at that time can be described as "the advantage is me"... As a result, he was defeated by the weak and almost killed with a knife.

And the reason for this result...

It is entirely because, in addition to the two factors of spiritual pressure strength and combat skills, Duan Mu ignored one of the most important factors in combat.

instinct!!

In terms of hard power, Ju Su is indeed weaker than Duan Mu, but the combat instinct he has accumulated in hundreds of years of life and death is beyond Duan Mu's anyway. After all, his combat experience is far inferior to those evil people at the level of low-level officers.

The so-called combat instinct not only includes rapid response to crises and a keen sense of flaws, but also combat will and combat intelligence. These things can often have unexpected effects in combat.

Even though he had expected Ju Su to use his flaws to attack him, Duan Mu still thought Ju Su would not come so quickly and he had time to prepare for it. As a result, he was caught off guard by Ju Su.

One mistake, one step wrong, and finally ended up in the same situation as yesterday.

This kind of combat instinct cannot be developed in a short period of time, let alone Duan Mu, who has less than a palm of his hand, has been experiencing a battle.

Duan Mu remembers that the person with the strongest combat instinct is the captain of the 11th Team, Gengmu Jianba!

Ju Su naturally is not qualified to be compared with Gengmu Jianba, but the battle between Ju Su and Duan Mu is somewhat similar to the battle between Gengmu Jianba and the captain of the 11th team in some places. Both sides do not understand skills at all, are not proficient in killing techniques, and rely on instinct to win.

Although he survived the battle between Duan Mu and Ju Su, from the combat level...

It was because I lost.

Duan Mu will not deny this matter.

Every time after a battle, no matter how successful he wins or loses, Duan Mu will reflect on the mistakes he made in the battle afterwards, and he will not selectively forget the failure.

Putting aside the flaws in this battle, I have made a mistake that I should not make since the beginning of the battle.

Despised the opponent!

If Ju Su and others paid enough attention from the beginning, Duan Mu could add all the experience values ​​he obtained to spiritual pressure and use his absolute strength to fill the shortcomings of insufficient combat experience.

actually……

At the moment when he decided to resist, Duan Mu also thought about whether to add all his experience points to the spiritual pressure, and then use the "spiritual pressure defense" at the deputy captain level to resist Jiu Su's sword. In this way, even if he is injured, it may be just a minor injury.

With a low-level reply, you can continue to fight without even needing healing.

But Duan Mu finally gave up this idea.

Because this is "maybe", let go of whether the spiritual pressure defense will be as he imagined. At that critical moment, even if Duan Mu invested his experience value in time, there was not enough time to familiarize himself and call the growing spiritual pressure to form defense.

It can be said that in a hurry, the spiritual pressure he could mobilize would not change much.
