Chapter 872: Trust and Distrust (4)Si Mo Fan''s lips twitched after hearing Nan Hua''s words.


    Though, he had to admit that Nan Hua was correct. Her words might make her sound arrogant, but coupled with her real strength, it turned into confidence.


    "Then, what are you going to do."


    "Watch and train." Nan Hua turned to look at Hui Ling behind her.


    Her instinct could still be honed further. That was what she felt when she met Hui Ling. It was as if the instinct that she had from her previous life hadn''t been broughtpletely to this world.


    Because of the difference in fighting methods, technology, and many other things, Nan Hua actually had trouble adapting at the beginning. But it was because of her extreme training that allowed her to adapt to any environment at the shortest period of time that she never showed anything strange.


    Observation ability, instinct that was faster than lightning, determination to grow stronger and astonishing adaptability.


    These four things have always been the reason why she was named the first. It was the precise reason why everyone trembled in fear when they heard her name. She might not be the strongest in terms of her muscle because she hadn''t grown uppletely, but her reaction speed alone could put many geniuses in shame.


    And Nan Hua never thought that she had reached her limit.


    She continued to challenge herself and break through her limit over and over again.


    After being close to 14 years old, Nan Hua thought that she was close to reaching the level she used to be in her previous world. And her body was also adapting slowly with the growth of her strength.


    But seeing Hui Ling, she had realized that another path was opening itself slowly in order to allow her to grow stronger.


    With her current strength, every improvement meant a lot.


    It was no longer easy for her to improve.


    "Train?" Si Mo Fan was surprised. He turned to look at Hui Ling. "I thought that he''s weaker than you."


    "He is." Nan Hua nodded. "But he''s a good training partner."


    Hui Ling''s natural sense as a hunter and his attacks has been without pattern. What Nan Hua needed was to learn how to respond at the fastest speed to his attacks until she could finally found all of his attack''s pattern.


    Even though Nan Hua could easily find his pattern if she paid closer attention, she purposely avoided doing it.


    She wanted to test her body.


    And to increase her reaction speed.


    So that no one would be able to hurt her.


    "Alright if you say so." Si Mo Fan shrugged. "I thought that you have pity on him."


    Pity?


    Nan Hua shook her head.


    She was not that kind andpassionate. It was only because she didn''t want him to end up the way she used to be and because he was a good training partner for her that she chose to keep him.


    At least, for the time being, it would be like that.


    "Get ready for the next battle."


    "Got it."


    …


    For the next few days, Nan Hua allowed Hui Ling to attack her and responded instinctively. She purposely emptied her mind and only let her instinct yed to the fullest. Thanks to that, Hui Ling arrived at the death door a few times.


    *cough* *cough*


    Nan Hua looked at the choked Hui Ling and retrieved her needles. She had just given him an emergency treatment because her attack was a bit too harsh on him.


    Hui Ling looked at Nan Hua in fear, but there was also a faint tinge of respect.


    "Get up. You''re still alive and will not die just from this."


    "…Yes."


    Si Mo Fan watched the two of them speechlessly. Just a few days ago, Hui Ling treated them like a gue and tried to avoid them or attack them at any chance he got. Buttely, he only targeted Nan Hua and seemed to be beaten up so badly.


    Yet, he alwayse to her.


    Of course, there were many times of near death experience he had because Nan Hua''s attack were all aimed at the vital points.


    As an assassin, Nan Hua was trained to kill her opponent with one blow.


    Because there might be only one chance.


    She purposely restrained herself at thest moment to stop herself from killing Hui Ling. It was not as easy as training her instinctive reaction to be faster, but it allowed her to have more control of her body when she let her instinct decide.


    "Are you done?" Nan Hua asked.


    "There are still some, but it''ll take time to arrange the people and attack pattern. They wouldn''t be easy to handle."


    "I see."


    "We''ll be going to the Xia Mountain in the near future and watch from there. I''ll leave the frontline to Ji Han Yu."


    Si Mo Fan''s lips twitched.


    Will that brute even able to handle this task properly? He felt somewhat hesitant about leaving this task in his hand.


    Nan Hua knew what Si Mo Fan was worried about. "The time limit is two months. If he couldn''t handle it properly, either you or me will take the shot directly."


    "That''s good." Si Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief.


    At the same time, Nan Hua nced in the direction of Hui Ling. Thanks to him, she had found out the way to improve her reaction speed, but she no longer needed him. It was because her body had alreadypletely adapted to his attacks'' pattern and also bodynguage.


    She would know what kind of attack he wanted to make even without thinking about it.


    Sometimes, Nan Hua felt a bit distressed about her astonishing adaptability. But anyway, it was good that she could grow stronger.


    "Hui Ling."


    When his name was called, Hui Ling raised his head. He looked at Nan Hua expectantly like a child who was eager to have a candy.


    "We''re going to a different mountain. Do you want toe along or not?"
