Chapter 33: Wind and Thunder Squad
Ling Xian finally got the badge of the second-level mercenary he wanted.
To be precise, it should be a second-level mercenary.
What a puppet can test is only a person's strength, but the strength of a cultivator is varied, tactical strategy, tracking and concealment, and so on, etc., these are all part of the cultivator's strength, but they are not something that a rigid puppet can test.
Therefore, the Mercenary Guild only issues apprentice badges, and in order to become a real mercenary, you need to complete at least three tasks of the corresponding level.
However, Ling Xian didn't care about this, his purpose was just to be able to take on the task, and besides, the big man who tested it didn't see it, Ling Xian himself knew very well in his heart that his apprentice second-level mercenary was very watery.
That big man's estimate was actually right, with Ling Xian's current strength alone, it was almost impossible to light up the second rune, even if Ling Xian used the eight fire palms that condensed two fire spirits, it would be useless.
However, in addition to the eight Flame Palms, Ling Xian also had other hole cards.
Formation!
The silver bottle is broken!
After Ling Xian practiced the formation, he had been trying to combine the formation with martial arts, however, this was very rare in the entire Xianyuan Continent, after all, the formation master was more studying the formation, and he had never paid much attention to martial arts, and he would not try these.
What's more, formations often need to be laid out in advance, and it is difficult to have such ample time in battle, so although it seems that the combination of formations and martial arts can improve strength, this path is often scoffed at.
However, Ling Xian had a unique advantage in this regard.
Mysterious Palace!
Although Ling Xian had never figured out the origin of the mysterious palace in the Sea of Divine Thoughts, and the dream tapir had always been secretive about it, this did not prevent him from using the power of the mysterious palace, and after several attempts, Ling Xian found that the mysterious palace could greatly increase his control of spiritual power. The previous few times to save the day was by relying on this characteristic of the mysterious palace.
However, what Ling Xian didn't know was that his control of spiritual power, in addition to relying on the blessing of the Mysterious Palace, was more of his own talent, and the Mysterious Palace only magnified his talent. Ling Xian's talent was praised even by the Dream Tapir, but the Dream Tapir never told Ling Xian because it was afraid that Ling Immortal would become arrogant because of this, and more importantly, it did not want to admit that there would be someone with a more terrifying talent than the king.
And just now, Ling Xian is the first test of the Ox Knife, the silver bottle is broken and the eight fire palms are added, the wind helps the fire, the fire takes advantage of the wind, but the effect is surprisingly good, it is with the bonus of the silver bottle that Ling Xian can strike a blow far beyond his own strength, lighting up the second rune.
Ling Xian is actually cheating, but it's no wonder that the Mercenary Guild is not thoughtful, after all, most of the mercenaries are just low-level people, which is really difficult to associate with high-level nobles like the Formation Master.
And even if a formation master really chooses to be a mercenary, he will not choose to use a puppet to verify his strength, and for a formation master, his own cultivation may be the least important.
However, no matter what, even if Ling Xian's identity as a second-level mercenary has water, the fox fake tiger power is enough.
If the first-level mercenary is nothing more than cannon fodder here, then the second-level mercenary can be regarded as the mainstay of a mercenary team. After all, in such a remote place, most of the cultivators with a little strength were in the sect, but there were very few who actually came to be mercenaries.
Ling Xian arrived at the place where he received the task and said his intention.
"The quest to go to the Wild Forest?"
The middle-aged man behind the table frowned and hesitated. After hesitating for a while, he pointed out a direction to Ling Xian, "You go over there and have a look." ”
Ling Xian looked in the direction of his finger, but there were four cultivators, three men and one woman, standing in a corner of the hall.
Ling Xian thanked them and walked over to them.
Before he could get closer, he felt a pressing pressure rushing over his face, and he felt as if the air around him was about to freeze.
"Look, another fool has passed. ”
"Tsk, guess he'll be able to block a few moves. ”
"Three moves, at most, but looking at his small body, I'm afraid it's a question of whether he can block Yan Yan's moves. ”
There were bursts of whispers around, and sometimes undisguised ridicule.
Ling Xian's face was still impassive, but there was a drum in his heart, thinking about the strange gaze that the person looked at him just now, he suddenly felt that this matter didn't seem to be so simple.
However, at this time, Ling Xian naturally would not retreat again, even if there was a sword mountain and a sea of fire in front of him, he would have to break through.
Many thoughts flashed through Ling Xian's heart, but his steps were not slow at all, and he quickly walked in front of the four of them.
"I heard you're short of manpower?"
As soon as Ling Xian's words fell, he only heard a sneer, but a big man standing behind him sneered: "In these years, cats and dogs dare to come to be mercenaries. ”
Ling Xian was not angry at all, he just glanced at the four people in front of him, and a playful smile appeared on his face.
Ling Xian's provocative glance saw that the big man was furious, he took a step forward, and his tall and burly body stood in front of Ling Xian like a pagoda, originally Ling Xian was a little thin, and compared to him, he was like a chicken in the shadow of an eagle.
The dangerous aura coming from the big man's body also made Ling Xian frown a little, the spiritual power in his body frantically converged to his hands, two fire spirits appeared in the palm of his hand, and the spiritual power in the sea of divine thoughts was also churning, and Ling Xian didn't dare to keep his hand at all, and pressed almost all of his hole cards.
"Yan Yan, you are so fierce, you are going to scare this little brother away. ”
A giggle chuckle made the momentum of the big man suddenly stagnate, and there was no longer the previous oppressive force, and the tense atmosphere between the two eased down.
Dahan snorted and took a step back, Ling Xian was also relieved to see that he had no intention of making a move, and only then did he dare to look in the direction where the voice came from.
The fiery red light veil, the tempting red lips, and the small waist that could not be grasped made Ling Xian look a little stunned.
However, the delicate situation at the moment made Ling Xian always have a string in his heart, and he soon came back to his senses, secretly cursing a goblin in his heart, constantly reminding himself not to look at it, and looked away with difficulty and nostalgia.
Although he was a little out of shape, Ling Xian's performance was much better than the others, just listening to the constant sound of spitting around him and looking at their fanatical faces, Ling Xian felt that if it weren't for the four big men beside him, I am afraid that someone would not be able to help but pounce on them.
There was also a hint of strange color in the woman's eyes, she had always been confident in her appearance, and she was invincible in dealing with such a hairy boy, but she didn't expect the young man in front of her to be indifferent.
"I'm Red Silk, the captain of the Wind and Thunder Squad. You're going to go with us to the Wild Forest?"
Ling Xian was stunned, he didn't expect that this delicate beauty in front of him would be the captain of this four-person team, no wonder that big man was so obedient.
He nodded, looked directly at Hongxuan's fierce gaze and said, "Yes!"
Hong Xuan suddenly smiled, like a spring breeze on her face, and like a flower blooming, but her next words surprised Ling Xian.
"Are you ready for the test?"
