Chapter 91
Tang Ling’s reflex test was outstanding .
His dodging rate was very high . Compared to the others, it seemed effortless when he carried out the test . There were almost no big movements from him, and it seemed to be an important criterion .
Why was prediction ability regarded as something valuable? It allowed the user to perform micro-movements for effective dodging, and there was a term in the professional world for that—micro-senses .
It was a necessary step in becoming a Purple Moon Warrior . Tang Ling displayed his forte well, albeit still being very far away from achieving the state of micro-senses .
“There is still something in him that shines . It’s certain that he has prediction ability although it’s still very weak . ” Yang Kong finally came up with a conclusion .
At the same time, both Instructor Thuja and Tang Ling’s mates finally heaved a breath of relief . Judging from Tang Ling’s performance, passing would not be a problem, and he might even achieve decent results .
On the other hand, Tang Ling did not even care about what other people thought about his performance . He was actually testing the limits of his Precise Instinct .
Inside the reflex test machine was a 5-square meter space, and any kind of dodging movement in the space was allowed .
The light spots floating in the air represented incoming attacks . The test was all about effectively dodging the light spot and not letting them hit the body .
Of course, if it was just a simple test, Tang Ling would have passed with ease .
Even without using his Precise Instinct, his reflexes alone could achieve decent results . He did the same during the normal training, not even using his Precise Instinct while dodging the swinging logs .
Therefore, he would usually fall behind Amir and be evenly match with Yu .
However, after Su Yao gave him a boost, Tang Ling was confident about reaching a 95% dodging rate which would be a lot higher than Amir’s result .

Nonetheless, he could not reveal it brazenly . If he simply relied on his reflexes to pass the test, it could not explain his exhaustion . Hence, using his Precise Instinct became reasonable since he already exposed it a little during his first exam .
Moreover, the environment was hard to come by, so why not use it to test the limits of his Precise Instinct?
Tang Ling controlled his body and maintained around a 73% dodging rate most of the time . However, inside his mind, he was challenging himself to quickly calculate more than three ways to dodge the light spots .
If he could not form more than three ways, he would imagine himself in a space with increased light spots and how he could effectively dodge them .
His calculation must remain at a high precision most of the time, and he could not exceed his physical capabilities . In short, it was a very exhausting feat .
Nevertheless, training either his mind or body was beneficial to his Precise Instinct . After his life changed, his Precise Instinct became a lot more useful in his daily life .
Therefore, after a minute, Tang Ling’s nose started to bleed reasonably .
According to his own calculation, the speed of the light spots reached 150 meters per second, and the number increased from 2 to 5 every square meter .
His successful dodging rate would then drop to above 60% .
After the precise number came into his mind, he knew that this reflex test had also been tinkered with .
It was a very smart move, changing the speed of the light spots from 80 meters per second to 83 meters per second . The minor bump in speed was not something normal people could distinguish, but with Tang Ling’s Precise Instinct, the numbers appeared in his mind .
The concentration of the light spots were also changed but was a lot more subtle than the speed . The test was skillfully tinkered with!

Even Tang Ling had to admit that someone without Precise Instinct, no matter how powerful, could barely notice the minor differences .
However, the minor differences, according to his calculation, could theoretically lower his successful dodging rate by around 5 to 7% .
It was not just some increase in numbers . Under extreme conditions, the slightest speed would greatly increase the difficulty of dodging .
5 to 7% was his conservative calculation, but despite that, if he used his Precise Instinct in the test, Tang Ling would be able to easily achieve a 100% dodging rate while munching on a jerky .
He intentionally lowered his results to Amir’s standards . He still upheld the principle of having a low profile . Since he had exposed a part of his ability, he might as well maximize the benefit .
A low profile could save his skin .
Displaying value at a suitable time was also considered as balance in his performance . Besides, the one who tinkered with the test must have known about his true ability . Would the culprit tinker even more due to worrying and somehow expose himself?
A minute flew by quickly .
Tang Ling controlled his dodging rate to be around 74%, which was higher than everyone and second to Amir .
Coupled with his usual training, his current condition and ability would seem very reasonable . Moreover, he did not bleed during his usual training .
After he came out from the machine, Instructor Thuja nodded at him in relief, but Yang Kong was not in a hurry to announce the result . Instead, he looked at the two lines of blood from Tang Ling’s nostrils and asked, “Prediction?”
Tang Ling showed a helpless look at Yang Kong’s question, but deep in his heart, he was thinking about whether the people of Safety Sector No . 17 noticed a part of his ability that he exposed and simply labeled him as something else .
Looking at Tang Ling’s lost look, Yang Kong explained, “I’m saying you seem to be able to predict danger beforehand . It’s known as prediction ability . ”
“I don’t know what prediction you are referring to, but I do sense danger beforehand . ” It was not a lie coming from Tang Ling . He did not predict danger beforehand, but his brain calculated all the numbers precisely and provided them to him .
It did sound like the prediction that Yang Kong was referring to .
Deep down, Tang Ling knew his Precise Instinct was totally different from the prediction . As for what differences there were between his current stage of Precise Instinct and the prediction ability, or which one was stronger, he really could not tell .
The only minor detail was that prediction seemed to be able to sense danger beforehand and drive the body to dodge or counter it .
Precise Instinct? It only calculated the result . Tang Ling would still have to precisely calculate the solution and countermeasures himself .
It sounded like prediction was much more useful .
However, Tang Ling did not think the same . Compared to instinctive reflexes and countermeasures, Tang Ling preferred Precise Instinct’s calculation which provided a better sense of control .
Moreover, Su Yao told him that his Precise Instinct still had space to grow!
Since Yang Kong had mistaken his Precise Instinct as a prediction ability, Tang Ling was happy about the outcome too .
His Precise Instinct could not afford any exposure .
While Tang Ling was comparing prediction ability and his Precise Instinct deep in his heart, Yang Kong had come up with his own answer .
He nodded and looked at Alan with an embarrassed gaze again . “Director, I can’t really judge Tang Ling’s third test . The final decision whether he passes or not is up to you . ”
