Although the two who received the answer were still a little doubtful, they did not refute it, because what I said did make some sense; training speed does indeed require first training reaction speed.

After seeing the two off, I finally considered my own practice direction.

When it comes to understanding animals, I turn my attention to Top and Pat, as I know them best now.

Top and Pat immediately became alert when they saw my gaze sweep over them. Seeing my shifty, mischievous look, they had a feeling something bad was about to happen.

I carefully recalled the behavioral characteristics of the two animals. Top mainly relied on crawling and flexible limb movement.

Pat's style is somewhat similar to the chief's beast skills, both emphasizing bravery, fearlessness, and deadly, one-hit kill moves.

Now I feel that if we can combine their characteristics and then integrate them with our own ideas, we can balance their advantages and disadvantages.

But I'm struggling with how to train them. Animals only act according to their instincts, and trying to ask them about the reasons behind those actions is like asking a person why they need to eat.

For the next few days, whenever I had free time, I would follow them around secretly to observe their behavior, even when they went to the toilet.

Top, who has always been very close to me, has started to consciously distance himself from me, which strongly suggests that I may have developed some kind of fetish.

You need to keep a little distance from me, otherwise strange behavior might occur.

Through careful observation, I have made some discoveries. At least now I can accurately identify which major muscles Top uses when climbing trees, and I am more familiar with the principles and structure of his power generation.

As for Pat, it was a bit difficult because I can't fly, so I could only observe its appearance.

But this guy remained as lazy as ever. Every day, apart from flying up into the tree for a short while, he would basically doze off in the tree like an old monk in deep meditation.

This leaves me speechless. If Pat continues to train with his lazy habits, I don't know if he can develop a fierce offensive beast skill like the leader, but he might be able to become a master of sleep.

However, I still trained Pat based on some of his outstanding strengths, the first being his eagle eyes, which is key to his hunting ability.

To be able to see and distinguish objects clearly from a kilometer away like Pat is out of the question; even if I were incredibly gifted, I could never achieve that.

However, if you train your eyes to be more sensitive, it shouldn't be a problem. Like a frog's eyes, you can quickly detect the movement of any object within your field of vision.

In actual combat, the sensitivity of the eyes is also a major advantage, allowing for meticulous observation of every small movement of the opponent and avoiding the embarrassing situation of being ambushed by the opponent.

To achieve the desired training effect, I went to the riverbank and collected a lot of small clam shells, punched holes in them, and hung them up with ropes.

In the beginning, I simply hung six clam shells evenly in my field of vision. Whenever a breeze blew, the reflective surface of the clam shells would appear intermittently.

What I had to do was accurately record how many clam shells reflected light at that moment. This kind of practice was a bit tedious, and sometimes I would practice for one or two hours without moving.

Gradually, as I became more familiar with them, I started adding more and more clam shells: ten, fifteen, twenty...

Until the very end, I was able to observe the subtle differences that occurred in fifty clam shells within my field of vision at the same time, and accurately pinpoint the locations of the reflective clam shells.

Dante and Susu have come to watch my training these days, but all they see is me standing there staring blankly at those clam shells.

Seeing that it didn't help improve his speed, he felt a bit bored and went back to use two three-lined cloacal snakes to train his reaction speed.

I now feel that my eyes are comparable to those of a frog. Within my field of vision, I can notice the subtle changes in up to fifty points at the same time.

To put it dramatically, if this ability were placed in a martial arts world, it would be virtually impossible for someone to use a hidden weapon against me. I would be able to see through their actions the moment they tried to use a hidden weapon.

This naturally involves the hand-eye coordination training that the leader initially gave us using the three-lined serpentine snake. I simply changed it from focusing on one point to simultaneously distributing fifty points.

To my surprise, when I casually mentioned adding two Triticothoracic snakes to a clay pot for training, both Su Su and Dante actually managed to do it.

Now they come to me every day asking how to continue training, which is giving me a bit of a headache. I can't just say things casually and tell them not to take them seriously.

If that's really the case, then the bite marks on their arms will probably be doubled and directed at me. Even if I'm Su Su's master, such behavior of betraying her disciple is still worthy of her putting aside her own family for the greater good.

In order to keep this lie going, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to deceive them.

"Not bad, the speed has improved a little. But would you like to have an attack speed as fast as that three-banded coelacanth?"

After I gave them this advice, their eyes immediately lit up. They knew all too well how fast the snakes attacked; even when they were being very careful, they would still occasionally get bitten by the two three-banded serpentine snakes.

If we could really reach the speed I described, that would be wonderful! Immediately, the two of them nodded vigorously, determined to learn.

I sighed and looked at them, feigning difficulty, and said...

"Let's forget about it. This last layer of basic skills is very painful, and you might not even succeed even if you practice it. You're already quite fast, so we can move on to the next step of training."

To my surprise, the two of them became unhappy when they heard what I said. "You have a way to improve, but you want to keep it a secret and teach us the later things?"

I absolutely disagree. We still need to learn this last basic skill today. There's no reason to interrupt someone who's already speaking and then has to tell them what's going on. It's obviously making people uncomfortable.

The two immediately shook their heads like rattles, indicating that they would only learn the next thing after mastering the last layer of basic skills. Did they think we were stupid for not learning something that could improve us?

Seeing their firm stance, I finally felt relieved.

Seeing that I had already laid the groundwork and created enough atmosphere for the two of them, I pondered for a moment and began to explain my method to them.

That is, to train one more snake in the same way, based on two trichordal cavorolac snakes.

"ah!"

Susu and Dante, speaking in different languages, exclaimed in unison in surprise. They had been full of expectations, but this was the result they had not expected.
