Chapter 16: The Hunt
For ordinary injuries, those life therapists in the Black Courtyard were easy to heal.
Cut off the wounded and necrotic lots, inject life soul power, promote regeneration, and some life therapists are troublesome, and can even directly cut off the arm to give you a new one.
In Penglai Black Courtyard, even if there is one breath left, it can bring people back to life within three hours, but Jiang Shang this time, it is not so easy to solve.
In the past, no matter how serious the injury was, Qi Lier and Sun Hongling did not have malicious intent when they started, and they would not leave their soul power at the wound, but would take the initiative to help recover and disperse the soul power, and the result was that no matter how heavy the injury was, it was only the most basic physical damage, and it could be intact the next day.
But this time, it was the abandoned beast that fed on people that hurt him.
His wounds have black spots, which are the most common negative soul damage from the Night's Watch, which is the hostile soul energy caused by the abandoned beasts, and the injuries caused by the Asura often carry the secondary destruction of blood energy, and they must first be dispersed in order to allow the body to recover normally, and then to carry out the next step of regeneration and healing.
For the masters of Penglai Black Academy, the double damage of negative soul energy and blood energy caused by a four-armed Asura is nothing, and the hospital bed is already full of students who have returned from the battlefield, basically they are all here to expel blood energy, and they can be discharged from the hospital after lying down for two days at most.
It takes time to gradually dispel blood energy and negative soul power, especially Jiang Shang's own soul power is not high, and he has to consider his ability to bear it, so he can only slow down the process of dispersion, I'm afraid, Jiang Shang will have to rest in Penglai Black Courtyard for two days.
But even so, Jiang Shang, who had half a swollen face, was still very satisfied.
Luna undoubtedly mentioned that she had chosen the most haode opponent.
In retrospect, this unfortunate Asura officer was restrained by himself in all his abilities.
Although they are at least three levels stronger than their own soul power, the Asuras are not good at all kinds of soul skills, and the mid- and low-level Asuras do not have any natural abilities, and they are most proud of the killing skills of multi-armed soldiers.
But just like the disadvantages of the three-headed and six-armed supernatural powers, the asura has many hands and weapons. Instead, it caused the blood energy attached to it to drop, and he couldn't break through his own incorruptible body.
And their excellent physical skills are dwarfed by their own martial saint powers, plus they are lighthouses, they can use the way of attrition to gradually eat away at the opponent's defenses, fight for almost five hours, and finally win.
As a result, with the restraint of his ability, he alone defeated this theoretically impossible opponent. The accumulation of soul power has taken a big step forward at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
“…… At this rate, a few more of them will probably be enough to become a fourth-level soul power. ”
The idea is haode, but the same kind of beast abandonment is the most efficient for the first time, and the more it is different from the soul power, the greater the benefit after absorption.
Four-armed Asura, if you only look at soul power, it is at least the level of a sixth-level soul power.
Challenge the abandoned beast with poor soul power at the third level alone, and force it to the limit of physical strength and soul power. With the understanding of life and death, Jiang Shang can get such a high return.
The more completely the opponent loses, the more completely the soul dissipates, and the more benefits the winner has.
This is also the product of the combined effect of the first rule and the second rule. The more you output, the more you push to the limit, the greater the gain,
So, the more battle-hardened warriors. The stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker, as long as they can survive long enough on the battlefield. The more amazing the soul power reserves, and on the contrary, the primordial stones can't fight even the weakest abandoned beasts, and they can't hunt if they want to.
For Sun Hongling and them, the soul power itself is not important, as long as it is still on the battlefield, it will inevitably grow steadily, and it is only energy, and in the end, it depends on the comprehensive combat power, or it depends on the soul skills, supernatural powers, and soul tools, which are really lethal.
But for Jiang Shang, who is seriously lacking in soul power, this is a charcoal in the snow, drought and rain.
This is also the reason why his ST mechanism that improves the level of soul power is nothing in the eyes of the night watchman, but in the eyes of Shiraishi, whose soul power is thin, it is a treasure.
Killing this Asura now is equivalent to more than half a year of Star Soul Martial Arts cultivation, and with such a big gain, Jiang Shang can also rest with peace of mind.
But lying on the hospital bed, with his eyes closed, but the silver light was still flowing in his eyes, he was seizing the time to sort out the gains and losses of the previous battle and further improve his combat ability.
"He slashed with his long sword and caught my fist with a single shield, but suddenly stabbed me three times in a row, almost piercing my heart, if I had to do it again, how would I deal with it...... Either smash the opponent's shield, or be on guard...... Well, the next move. ”
When Jiang Shang reviewed and summarized, there was a figure walking alone in the dark night.
She had already walked to the port area of Penglai, and although it was night, the guards who passed by all saluted, because the figure was wearing a golden badge representing the highest honor of the night watchman on his chest.
In the new era, the dark night has greatly reduced the ornamentality of the ornate costumes, and in their place are emblems made of new-age materials, which have become a testament to identity and status.
After all, instead of trying to identify each other's clothing and identity in the dark, it is better to look directly at those glittering emblems.
Those badges are often processed from precious magic crystal ores such as red cold stone, snow tooth iron, and Bahamut special steel, and when added to a simple lighting circuit, they can glow after being infused with soul power, which can become the best proof of identity.
The emblem of the Night's Watch is only an honor, representing past contributions, not strength, but the Gold Night's Guard can be respected and treated favorably in any human settlement.
Perhaps, the night watchman with the golden emblem was just a mapper who created a high-risk zone, or maybe he was just a healer who invented a new first aid method, or maybe he just made a diplomatic agreement with a true god that brought decades of peace to a region.
But there is no doubt that they have made an astonishing contribution, and the golden emblem, in the eyes of most humans, has been equated with heroes.
And the night watchman of the golden emblem in front of him did not look like a hero, he walked three times and turned around, hesitating, and seemed to be very reluctant.
"If you don't want to leave, just stay. Leaving a book and running away or something, it's not for you. ”
"Sun Hongling?!"
Yes, the one blocking the way in front of him is Jiang Shang's soul servant Sun Hongling, and the other one is naturally Qi Lier, the only golden emblem of the Fengshen War Regiment. Simple.
"I, I, I, I...... I'm going to eat fish soup and go fishing at the pier! ”
The panicked blonde girl hurriedly shook her head. It was clear that it was a lie, but Sun Hongling laughed.
"It just so happens that I want to go eat some seafood too, let's go together."
At this time, when it came to Qi Lier, she was silent, and the two stood one after the other, half loudly, before squeezing out a sentence.
"Well, I think you guessed it. I'm going hunting. ”
“weishenme? Did he finally figure it out and know that he was not interested in your dry body. Planning to leave the teenagers? ”
Glaring at Sun Hongling fiercely, Qi Lier said.
"Don't try to provoke me. I just feel a little slack lately, and I'm going to go to the battlefield area to refresh myself, and it won't be long before I'll be back. ”
"It's because of the boys, right?"
Qi Lier was still silent, but this attitude had already explained everything.
“…… I really didn't expect it to be so fast. ”
Qi Lier couldn't say it clearly, but Sun Hongling understood.
Single-handedly take on the abandoned beast of the C-class threat. It's nothing to them, but by the time they've been able to do it, they've all qualified as professional night watchmen and have been on the battlefield for more than two years.
This is still because they all have powerful battle-shaped star souls. Normally, it takes at least five or six years of practice to do this.
And Jiang Shang's contact with real soul skills and supernatural powers was full of calculations, but it was only less than two months!
Jiang Shang grew up. It's too fast, it's too fast to accept, it's so fast it's scary.
Unlike other newcomers, the Night's Watch relies on soul skills and soul equipment. Jiang Shang's fighting style is very simple, and it can even be described as simple.
Success is not accidental, and the great growth after coming into contact with soul skills is because of the foundation laid in the past, Jiang Shang does not have gorgeous soul skills, and some, only many years of penance physical skills and star soul martial arts.
For five or ten years, he honed his martial arts and physical skills that he might never use, and practiced the Star Soul Martial Arts Dayan Star Decision, which never bloomed, but in the end, he was rewarded.
The Great Yan Star Decision is famous for being difficult to practice, and Murong He sacrificed his body and feelings and paid a huge price in order to practice the Great Yan Star Decision and enhance his calculation ability.
There was no success for no reason, there was no Great Yan Star Decision taught by Situ Xue Ji in advance, and there was no Jiang Shang's years of hard work, and it was impossible to practice the Great Yan Star Decision, which ranked first in difficulty, to the second stage in just five years.
And the martial saint supernatural power of the Great Yan Star Duel, which is used to deduce the three versions of the Eight or Nine Xuangong, and restore the Vajra incorruptible supernatural power that seems to be above the original version, is the basis for him to be able to defeat Asura.
There are no gorgeous high-star soul skills and ingenious self-created soul skills, one punch and one kick is just an ordinary physical technique, which is a compulsory course for every night watchman, but the degree of cultivation is far greater than that of the enhanced night watchman who is the best at hand-to-hand combat.
There are no expensive artificial soul tools, and it is even more impossible to have soul power soul tools condensed by third-order and fourth-order soul skills, and some are just the King Kong not bad magic power simulated by Star Soul Martial Arts.
Asura, who is the best at hand-to-hand combat with physical arts, is convinced, and it feels incredible just thinking about it.
Divine powers are paired with physical skills, when these are nothing in isolation, but when the two sides accumulate to a certain extent, and then accumulate together, this basic training accumulated by blood and sweat for a long time will not disappoint the efforts that have been made, and directly turned into real combat power.
Although she was still far from the level of Qi Lier of the Golden Emblem, she vaguely saw the day when they walked side by side or even surpassed.
"Sister Xue can't speak, but she always does great things in silence. She taught me a lot, but she only taught Ah Shang the physical technique and the Great Yan Xing Technique, which always failed to bloom, I didn't understand it before, and I thought that the senior sister was expecting Ah Shang not to get Liliang and to be able to grow in a peaceful area, but now it seems that it has laid the foundation for him for so many years. ”
"If in the past, Ah Shang held the treasure house that he had honed over many years and would not use it, then the awakening of the star soul was the key to open the door to the treasure house. Years of accumulation, the desire to become stronger at all costs, and the treasure land of Penglai, Ah Shang will inevitably grow explosively. Perhaps, this is what Sister Xue has hoped for many years, the seeds she silently planted have reached the time to germinate. ”
After a moment of silence, Sun Hongling nodded.
"The desire to become stronger is the source of any warrior's strength, but even so, even if he accumulates a lot, Jiang Shang's growth speed is too fast, incredibly fast. There is only one possibility for him to grow beyond our expectations."
"The law of equivalent exchange, if you don't find the price to pay. In fact, it is the teenager who gave everything, and he must have done something in secret, or paid something. ”
Qi Li'er nodded, Jiang Shang did not tell them the price they needed to pay for the power of the gods, but Sun Hongling and the others were also experienced warriors, and they had vaguely guessed something from the cultivation speed of the supernatural power or the incredible progress speed of the soul power.
"The desire to fight and get stronger, we all have it, but Ashand was in the previous fight. But he was too obsessed with winning and losing, he was original, but he was not like this. I could feel that he was in a hurry, very anxious, and wanted to go to war tomorrow. ”
Sun Hongling nodded thoughtfully. "Don't want to lose? Or don't you want to be left behind? ”
Ziliel smiled and shook her head.
"Ah Shang has never determined the value of the other party because of the strength and status of others, let alone because of the value. It depends on whether the other party is in a relationship or not. I just think that if I mess around like this, maybe one day I will be surpassed by my own star soul envoy, and it will be too embarrassing for this soul servant. And. I'm a little angry, but Luna was the one who saw it first, so she arranged this trial. ”
Countdown to death. gave Jiang Shang a lot of pressure, and although he tried to hide his anxiety, he saw a lot of Luna. But this "death match" was arranged, which was also a reminder to other soul servants.
If he saw Jiang Shang's ruthlessness that he even dared to die with the enemy, Qi Lier still couldn't understand the anxiety of his Star Soul Envoy, it was indeed a bit unusual.
"I don't know that he Weishenme obviously saw hope, but he was still so anxious, but since it was his wish, I, Qi Lier. Jane will follow to the end. ”
The girl's relaxed tone was a rock-like oath.
"So, Hongling, don't stop me."
"Alaala, did I say I was going to stop you?" Sun Hongling covered her mouth and chuckled, and then threw the package on the ground.
"The basic materials and living utensils of the war zone, you really rushed to the battlefield without preparing anything."
Ziliel took it, a little dazed, but then, she also smiled.
But then, she realized something was wrong.
"Why are there two copies of a toothbrush, a cup, and a first aid kit?"
"Allah, didn't I tell you? I'm going to hunt too, so let's go along. ”
Ziliel threw the package to the ground violently, as if she was a little annoyed.
"Don't be kidding, you go too, what about Ashan's actual combat guidance and security guards?"
"Actually? I don't think we can teach a lighthouse of luster with an enhancement system and a change system. The only thing we could do was to gain experience for it, but after watching that fight, I felt that it was unnecessary. This is Penglai, I want to find a teacher, there are many. ”
"As for the guards, let's not mention whether a guy who kills a C-class abandoned beast alone needs a guard, someone has vouched for me, and if you are inside Penglai, Jiang Shang's safety is fine." "Who?"
Sun Hongling pointed to the highest peak of Penglai, but did not say much.
Qi Liel was startled at first, then lowered her head and muttered.
"If he intervenes, there's really nothing to worry about."
But then, the gaze became as piercing as a blade.
"But I also think that even if you hunt, you won't want to be with me."
"Indeed, but the gold emblem of the night watchman you got is indeed very enviable, so I want to get one too."
"Golden Emblem? Even if your strength is up to the mark, you have to make enough merits, you have to have a chance to wait, you mean?! ”
Sun Hongling picked up the abandoned beast data book thrown out of the package, and turned directly to the page of zuihou, where a roaring monster was waving its eight arms and elephant trunk, opening its teeth and claws.
"Hey, aren't there just a few evil gods here? Let's find a lonely one, it's better if it's underage. ”
Sun Hongling proposes to hunt the gods, but what she says is as easy as hunting a lone cub in a herd.
"The boy hunting that asura is equivalent to saving the second half of the year, our level. If you want to grow explosively like that, I'm afraid, you can only pick this level of trouble. ”
"I'm not going to die with you." Ziliel said in a deep voice, although the harvest was indeed tempting, she had seen the old gods and knew the power of the gods.
Although there is no support from the Shijie rules, but the evil god can be crowned with a god word, which means that it is extremely troublesome and powerful, when he hunted the old god Pan, he dispatched three or four hundred professional night watchmen and Western god killers, and now the two of them are challenging the evil god. What is the difference between sending to death.
"Of course, the two of us are sent to death, but if there is a team of ten colors pressing the array, and there are coolies who can spray samadhi true fire, will the result be much better?"
Ziliel thought for a while, and found that if Sister Luna was added, the combat power of this squad would be extremely objective, and it was really possible to hunt evil gods, but Qiliel was still unmoved.
"But at least it needs a black life healer and a lighthouse, although it doesn't need to be strong, but it must be. Where to find the right place to go to the battlefield, I'm stupid. ”
Seeing Sun Hongling handing towards the teaching building of the academy, Qi Lier swallowed her extra doubts, this is Penglai, and it is not easy to find someone.
"It is said that a few bronze emblems in the fourth grade here are not bad, and that 'Little Bian Que' is famous, so it should be a good craft. I remember that there was a Heavenly Fortune Knight in the third grade, and there was a Moon Emblem in the fourth grade. All are good beacons. ”
"Such a cherished talent, there should be a team. Well, I got it. ”
Seeing Sun Hongling clenching her fists, Qi Lier understood.
"After all. Ashan is still here, and we will stay here for a few more years, so let's be masked. ”
Well, they don't consult each other directly. I'm going to tie people up in a mask.
"No, I got the go-ahead."
The two women laughed in embarrassment, the old enemy. For the first time, I felt that the other party would become a good partner.
Perhaps, in the later part of Journey to the West, Yang Jian and Sun Wukong turned enemies into friends, and they were brothers, also because they had a common calculation target, the hydra.
“…… I thought you'd hurry up and spend time with Ashan, what made you make up your mind. ”
"The new divine soldiers need to be familiar, and Wukong's star soul is also advancing wildly, and I want to simulate it in real combat. In addition, the boy has already given me the star soul of the six-eared spirit monkey, and the fusion of the star soul is equal to multiple lives, and it is not too wasteful to fuse it plainly, just take the opportunity to make a big pen, and ......"
"And?"
"Hah. It's nothing. Sun Hongling covered her head and laughed.
"These days, the comfort is like a hundred days of dreams, and the happiness is a bit fake, I think if it goes by like this, I will rot, so I want to breathe in the air of the battlefield and experience the feeling of being alive."
"You're battlefield syndrome! Can't live a peaceful life? Qi Lier couldn't understand it, but she didn't plan to continue to ask, in her mind, Hongling's thinking circuit was incomprehensible most of the time.
In fact, this is just one of the reasons, the most important reason, Sun Hongling is really embarrassed to say.
“…… If I said that leaving for a while at the right time would help promote my love life with the dead wood, it was the expert who gave me advice, and if the expert was still the romance novelist Xia Yu, Qi Lier would definitely laugh at me. ”
Hongling carefully touched her pocket, and there, an old envelope was lying here, this was the reply from the "expert" to her-
And half a month ago, this letter was also in a room in Penglai.
Dear Little Red Line,
I've received your letter, and I can also understand your recent confusion, after all, suddenly discovering that the person you like actually has a fiancée, it must be a serious blow to a girl who is in love for the first time.
But you don't have to worry too much, after all, that fiancée hasn't met your boyfriend yet, and in his mind, it's probably just a symbol, far less important than you.
But you don't have to be too anxious, if you make too much trouble around him and force him to make a choice, I'm afraid that it will be like in a romance novel, something very unpleasant will happen, then, try cold treatment. Leave him for a while, let him think of your good in the days without you.
Finger for marriage or something, that was how many centuries ago, in the novel, it is the most vulgar bridge, it is destined to hit the street. Don't worry, how can a fiancée who has never met compete to win you.
Have more faith, and perhaps, in the absence of you, he will know what is most important to him.
Well, that's it, I wish my lovely reader Little Red Line a speedy fall in love.
Summer rains
The letter is spread out and placed on the table.
It was a house full of books, but most of them were in Braille, and a girl with long hair was listening to the rabbit girl read a letter to herself.
Best-selling romance novelist Xia Yu, a bosom friend sister and love expert in the eyes of countless female readers, is just a blind girl of the Eyeless clan who has no experience in love.
At this time, after listening to the letter from the brother who Tuyumen Xiaoye read for him, Xia Yu, no, Gui Xia Niang nodded.
"Xiao Ye, help me reply to my brother, I will have a relationship with that fiancé on the premise of marriage, please rest assured, and, work hard."
is completely different from what the reader replied to, regardless of the crying expression of the earth palace gate in front of her, Gui Xia Niang herself intends to accept the old tradition of finger marriage.
"Dad, I won't shame the Gui family." Perhaps, this whispered murmur said that her heart was not so willing.
The pursuit of a happy ending in the novel, the encouragement of her readers to pursue their own feelings, perhaps, is her willfulness, the indulgence of her thinking, but the reality, but has chosen to abide by the choice of the family and her brother.
"Damn Jiang Shang!! Damn bullies, dudes! I'm going to kill you! "This is the anger of Tsuchiomon Saya. (To be continued......)
