This series of events was actually all planned by Lin Xiao. From the moment he saw the raccoon's speed, he had a rough plan in mind, which he gradually refined.
Since the Microstep technique reached a minor success, nothing could escape the eyes of Lin Xiao at the fourth level. The Microstep technique had not progressed further. This time, coming to seek the marriage flower, seeing such speed, Lin Xiao's eyes lit up; this was a heaven-sent opportunity.
Lin Xiao had always been puzzled about how to break through from a minor success to a major success in the Microstep technique. The records stated that one needed to open the Heart Eye to break through to a major success, but Lin Xiao could never figure out what the Heart Eye was, a big question mark always lingering in his mind.
Later, there was the incident of luring the raccoon and provoking it. Initially, he took out the Star Fragment Grass to see if he could dodge the raccoon, but after repeated attempts, Lin Xiao realized he had no ability to dodge and could only rely on spatial techniques to protect the Star Fragment Grass, otherwise it would have long been in the raccoon's hands.
Finally, Lin Xiao made up his mind to experience it himself; such an opportunity would not come again. Who knew if he would encounter another mutated raccoon like this one.
The situation unfolded as Lin Xiao had anticipated. No matter how intelligent the raccoon was, it could not compare to a human. After being teased by Lin Xiao, it became furious, and everything proceeded according to Lin Xiao's script.
However, the raccoon's speed exceeded Lin Xiao's expectations. In the end, the raccoon's burst of speed almost caused Lin Xiao to bleed to death, leaving him with lingering fear.
At the last moment, Lin Xiao finally felt it, finally breaking through that layer of illusion.
From the initial level of vision to the current level of the Heart Eye, Lin Xiao had risked his life to break through. If he had taken a wrong step, it would have been a disaster.
The breakthrough from a minor success to a major success in the Microstep technique came at a great cost, but it was worth it.
After the Microstep technique reached a major success, a subtle feeling emerged in his heart. He felt as if his heart could see some images, and his body naturally dodged attacks in response to his heart's guidance.
In fact, what his heart felt was the wind. The wind conveyed sensations, and no matter what he did, it would always bring a breeze, omnipresent.
In the final moment, the wind foretold the raccoon's attack direction and path to Lin Xiao. Although Lin Xiao's speed was not as fast as the raccoon's, he still dodged the attacks with ease.
...
The raccoon stood just three meters away from Lin Xiao, looking at him in confusion, unable to understand how its attacks had been dodged. Clearly, Lin Xiao had never effectively dodged its attacks before.
Lin Xiao opened his eyes, though his face was pale, his eyes sparkled, indicating that his spirit was still strong, despite his physical weakness from excessive blood loss.
Lin Xiao smiled at the raccoon and made a gesture to continue. He wanted to experience that feeling again, the sensation of being enveloped by the wind, to solidify the feeling of the Microstep technique entering a major success.
Seeing Lin Xiao's provocative gesture, the raccoon, enraged, charged forward with ten figures, each attacking from a different position, using its signature skill.
Lin Xiao closed his eyes, a smile on his face, but his heart was not calm. His heart heard the wind's message, realizing that this was the Heart Eye. He did not need his eyes to see; it was as if there were invisible eyes in the air, presenting everything around him in his mind.
A new round of attack and defense began. The raccoon's attack strength did not decrease, but it never hit Lin Xiao again. All attacks were dodged in advance by Lin Xiao.
Even with the raccoon's fastest speed, using ten afterimages to attack from ten different directions, Lin Xiao dodged them with ease. After all, the ten afterimages moved at different speeds, and there was a definite sequence.
The wind the raccoon brought was strong, but the stronger the wind, the easier it was for Lin Xiao to dodge.
After a while, the raccoon could no longer maintain such high-speed movement and had to stop, panting heavily as it looked at Lin Xiao. It could not understand how Lin Xiao had suddenly become so powerful, as its speed no longer caused any harm to him.
The scratches on Lin Xiao's body had long stopped bleeding, and his body, having undergone several marrow washes, had an astonishing recovery rate. All the small wounds had scabbed over, and his complexion gradually improved, no longer as pale as before.
Smiling at the raccoon, though his expression was calm, Lin Xiao was overjoyed inside. He had never expected this breakthrough in the Microstep technique, which had always been the most elusive to him, and he was almost laughing so hard his teeth would fall out.
A golden light flashed, and the raccoon returned to the tree, pouting at Lin Xiao. It knew that its most powerful speed could not harm this human, and it had no other way to deal with the intruder in its territory.
Lin Xiao took out the Star Fragment Grass again, looked at the raccoon, and made a gesture to exchange it, pointing to the marriage flower below the tree.
The raccoon's eyes instantly lit up, and it habitually charged forward to grab it, but this time it missed. Lin Xiao's hand was lowered by three centimeters, making the raccoon miss.
The raccoon returned to its tree, looking dejected, first looking at the marriage flower, then at the Star Fragment Grass in Lin Xiao's hand. It made a cute expression, covering its eyes with its hands, then jumped down from the tree, walked to Lin Xiao's side, nodded to indicate its agreement, and extended its hand.
Seeing such a human-like raccoon, Lin Xiao was delighted. He handed the Star Fragment Grass to the raccoon and walked past it to the marriage flower, his goal.
The raccoon, holding the coveted Star Fragment Grass, examined it from all angles, and the Purple Golden Mastiff, seeing the raccoon's silly expression, laughed so hard it rolled on the ground.
Earlier, the Purple Golden Mastiff had watched Lin Xiao's battle with the raccoon, unable to help. It feared that rushing in would cause trouble for its master, and it had also seen its master's eyes signaling it to just watch.
Lin Xiao walked step by step toward the marriage flower, feeling that this branch mission had been quite fruitful. Not only had he obtained a special flower, but he had also unexpectedly broken through in the Microstep technique. He took out a shovel from the spatial ring, carefully separated the entire plant from the soil, and then entered the spatial ring to plant the marriage flower in a corner, as its medicinal effects were quite terrifying.
Having completed everything, Lin Xiao stretched, patted his hands in satisfaction, and signaled the Purple Golden Mastiff to follow. The goal had been achieved, and it was time to leave the mountain.
After a week of hard work, he set off on the return journey with a smile, leading the Purple Golden Mastiff back the same way.
After walking for a while, Lin Xiao suddenly felt something approaching quickly. He instinctively dodged, turning sideways. A golden light flashed past him, directly colliding with the Purple Golden Mastiff leading the way, causing both to tumble.
