Chapter 1050 Training With a Cat


    After the cat emerged from the gray forest, it found an open grassy area not far away and began


    devouring the small dried fish.


    It ate the fish greedily, its drool softening the dried meat.


    In less than half a minute, the fish vanished, leaving the cat with an unsatisfied look, as if to say, "Don''t


    forget about my reward!"


    ke responded, "Do I look like someone who wouldn''t keep my promise?"


    Yes, you do.


    ke could not help but feel speechless and amused. He threw another dried fish at the cat.


    With lightning-fast speed, the cat darted forward, leaving ke''s vision blurry. It swiftly returned to its


    original spot, now clutching the dried fish in its mouth.


    ke observed the cat intently, an idea brewing in his mind.


    The speed of the cats in the Gray Earth was truly astonishing. Their speed was so fast that it almost


    seemed like they were teleporting.


    If only he could learn how to do it...


    Taking a few steps closer, ke squatted down one meter away from the cat and said, "Hey there, little


    cat... Look what I have."


    He patted his pocket. "A bag of dried fish."


    The cat ignored him and continued eating.


    ke continued, "Well, if you teach me how to match your speed, I''ll give you this whole bag of dried

    fish."


    Reluctance filled the cat''s eyes, as if the temptation was insufficient.


    But when it was tempted enough, the cat finally looked up.


    It swallowed thest piece of dried fish, licked its paw, and then fixed its gray-blue eyes on ke.


    ke could not understand what the cat was going to do, but relying on his intuition honed through


    years of battlefield practice, he sensed that the cat was about to strike.


    True to his instinct, as soon as he reached for his pocket, the cat before him vanished in an instant.


    In the next second, it reappeared directly in front of him!


    "Swipe!"


    Its sharp ws unsheathed, as if apanied by their own sound effects.


    A chill ran down the back of ke''s hand, and when he looked down, he saw bloody marks etched


    across his skin.


    Remainingposed, ke raised his gaze, feeling a tingling pain.


    The cat returned to its spot and, while nonchntly grooming itself, cast a contemptuous gaze at


    ke.


    In its eyes, it seemed to say, "How dare you dream of achieving my speed, you clumsy human!"


    ke retorted, "Come at me again! It''s yours if you manage to snatch it!"


    He had not expected the cats in the Gray Earth to adhere so strictly to their principles. He had thought


    the little kitten simply took off with his small dried fish, along with the bag.


    Upon hearing his words, the cat became tempted to do so.


    Really? If it could snatch it, all those dried fish will be mine? That was what he said himself. It wouldn''t


    be viting any principles cause that''s not considered robbing, right?...


    ke beckoned the cat, saying, "Come on!"


    And just like that, the cat approached him!


    ke clutched his pocket and dodged nimbly, but still ended up getting his arm scratched.


    He chuckled. This was interesting. It was much more challenging than training with the kids on his


    team.


    Removing the pocket, which was fastened to the top of his uniform for convenience, ke bit down on


    the buckle, cing the pack of dried fish in his mouth. He then made a finger-hook gesture toward the


    kitten.


    ke dodged the shadow lunging at him, but not before receiving a few scratches on his face.


    ke''s free hand was not idle. He assessed the cat''s movements and swiftly extended his hand,


    attempting to catch the cat barehanded.


    The cat''s eyes filled with disdain. In its view, ke''s movements were slow and clumsy, and it easily


    evaded his attempts.


    ke resembled the young hero in a martial arts drama, using chopsticks to catch flies.


    The cat toyed with him, as if ying with a mouse. Gradually, its curiosity and yfulness took over,


    causing it to almost forget its goal of snatching the dried fish...


    As they continued their back-and-forth, the cat came close to snatching the bag from ke several


    times, only to miss it.


    Initially, ke could only focus on protecting his pockets.


    However, as time passed, he gradually freed up space in his mind and started observing the cat''s


    movements.


    With each attempt, he felt as though he brushed against the cat''s soft fur, which was a much better


    result than grasping at thin air.


    In Gray Earth, where there was no day and night, there was only an eternal gray sky, ke had lost


    track of time. His arms ached to the point where he could no longer lift them, but he clutched the bag of


    dried fish tightly and eximed, "I''m done ying!"


    The cat was speechless.


    Gasping for breath, ke copsed onto the ground.


    With one hand still holding the small dried fish, he reached out towards the cat and said, "Come here.


    You''ve worked hard, and I''ll give you a piece of dried fish as a reward."


    The cat remained silent.


    Meow, are you treating me as a training buddy?!


    I''m not gonna fall for that!


    In a fit of anger, the cat turned around and sat with its back facing ke.


    ke could not help butugh. He took out a piece of dried fish and tossed it towards the cat.


    "You have to keep your word as a cat. You promised to snatch my dried fish, so you must fulfill the


    promise."


    The cat was speechless.


    This was the first time it had encountered such a peculiar request.
