Chapter 314 The name spread
At this moment, the atmosphere between Su Ming and Chi Qian became somewhat stiff.
Su Ming did not stop and continued talking to Chi Qian.
"You already have hidden injuries in your body. The bottle of medicinal wine I gave you last time was not enough to completely heal them. In addition, you are also missing a hand, so your strength has been affected. Isn't that right?"
Su Ming directly revealed the reason why Chi Qian performed poorly in the previous battle.
Chi Qian wanted to deny it, but the facts were before her eyes, how could she deny it? ".It did have an impact, but not a big one."
Chi Qian could only say these words in a slightly stiff voice.
Su Ming did not make any comment on this, but just looked at Chi Qian deeply.
"I say, Chi Chuanqi, Captain Chi, you are not still thinking about bearing the guilt of your former companions' sacrifice alone, so you can't heal the hidden injuries in your body and the broken palm, right?"
Su Ming could more or less see that Chi Qian had thoughts and tendencies in this regard.
This was also something Chi Qian had admitted before.
Chi Qian didn't heal her hands and appearance not because she couldn't do it.
In addition to the idea of leaving all the contribution points earned in the past year for Mu Yan and the others to use, and not wasting them on himself, so not spending a lot of money to buy high-quality alchemical potions to treat himself, Chi Qian also had the idea of punishing himself.
Almost all of her companions died, and she was the only one who survived. This matter already made Chi Qian very painful. If she had survived without paying any price at all, she would never be able to accept it.
In other words, Chi Qian believed that he must accept punishment.
In order to save Mu Yan, Feng Qing'er and Tong Xinyao, she signed a contract to sell herself, which was a punishment for herself.
As a price to pay, one's hidden injuries, broken hands and ruined appearance cannot be restored, which is also a punishment for oneself.
Chi Qian was punishing himself in this way, punishing himself for deciding to take on the S-level mission and leading the team to destruction.
Even though Mu Yan had said that the decision was made jointly by all members of the team, and that they were also professionals and had already made mental preparations for this, Chi Qian still did not feel relieved.
So, in response to Su Ming's questioning, Chi Qian chose to remain silent.
"Okay." Su Ming rubbed his brows and said, "I won't judge whether your approach is right or wrong. I will only tell you two things."
Su Ming stretched out a finger.
"First, this will affect future team activities." Su Ming said ruthlessly: "We have successfully completed the mission this time, but if we encounter a more terrible enemy in the future, and you fail to exert your full strength because of your own choice, causing Mu Yan, Feng Qing'er, Tong Xinyao and even me who fought side by side with you today to die, what will you do?"
Chi Qian trembled all over.
"Second." Su Ming seemed not to have seen this scene, and said lightly: "You may not know, but I have seen it more than once."
"See the pain and sadness on Mu Yan and the others' faces when they saw the scars on your face and your broken hand."
Hearing this, Chi Qian was completely speechless.
The stiff atmosphere between the two was immediately replaced by oppressive silence.
Su Ming looked at Chi Qian and spoke slowly.
"You can't always live in the past, you have to look to the future. Otherwise, when the same thing happens again, it may be too late to regret it."
"What you should do is not dwell on your mistakes, but learn from them and reflect on them."
"At least, if I were you, I would try my best to become stronger, so that when the same thing happens in the future, I will have enough strength to protect the people around me and prevent the tragedy from happening again."
As he spoke, Su Ming took out a bottle of alchemical potion from his backpack.
That was the only bottle of the highest quality recovery potion in Su Ming's backpack. As long as the head was not chopped off and the heart was not dug out, no matter how serious the injury was, it could be recovered.
Including severed limbs.
After taking out the bottle of alchemical potion, Su Ming threw it on Chi Qian.
"That's all I'm going to say, and it's up to you to decide what to do."
After leaving these words, Su Ming turned around and left, chasing after Mu Yan and the others.
Chi Qian was left standing there alone, holding the bottle of alchemical potion which was obviously of high quality, and remained silent for a long time.
Outside the chaotic area, there is a wilderness danger zone.
In the direction of Tianfeng City, the off-road vehicle sped away again, carrying Su Ming and his party, and started the return journey.
Feng Qing'er was holding a horn cut off from the zombie's body in her hand. She was chattering with Mu Yan and Tong Xinyao, while immersed in the joy of successfully completing her first mission.
Of course, there were more than just these materials on the zombie’s body. Except for the burnt parts that could not be used, the rest had been collected by Su Ming and were placed in his backpack.
The group successfully completed the A-level mission and were preparing to return to Tianfeng City.
As she was talking, Feng Qing'er seemed to suddenly remember something, and she turned her head sharply to look at Su Ming who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"By the way, Captain, you've deceived us so badly." Feng Qing'er complained, "You are obviously a senior warlock, at least a five-star senior warlock, but you have been pretending to be a newcomer. How cunning!"
Feng Qing'er's words made all the girls react.
"That's right!" Tong Xinyao seemed to be excited, leaning forward slightly, and said, "It turns out that the captain is such a powerful sorcerer, and can even use high-level spiritual arts with a sequence ranking of more than 80. It's really amazing!"
As a fellow sorcerer, Tong Xinyao was particularly excited when she saw Su Ming use the [Eighty-one Styles: Miaoye Fanjing] with her own eyes.
This was the first time that Tong Xinyao had seen such a high-order spiritual technique.
Thinking back to the scene at that time, Tong Xinyao couldn't help but look at Su Ming with admiration.
I have to say, I really enjoy seeing the little girl looking at me with admiration like this.
Su Ming touched his nose and spread his hands.
"You guys are not bad either." Su Ming smiled and said, "I also didn't expect that Qing'er, you actually have a fine alchemical weapon. Yaoyao surprised me even more. She was so young but could use that level of spiritual arts, and she was so skilled and dexterous. The last technique even made my eyes light up."
To be frank, Feng Qing'er's strength, after being enhanced by the fine-quality kukri, is the highest among the "Azure Mercury" except for Su Ming, at least in terms of attack power.
Even dangerous species like ghouls that were about to evolve had their skin and flesh torn apart in an instant under the attack of Feng Qing'er's kukri, becoming scarred and in a miserable state. If this knife was used to chop a person, it would be easier to cut a bone than to cut vegetables.
Not to mention Tong Xinyao, who really surprised Su Ming.
It's no surprise that this little genius can use [Form 47: Blazing Lotus Scarlet Flame] and [Form 58: Wind Demon Pursuit].
As a spirit carrier and a genius who was promoted to three stars at the age of fourteen, it was understandable to Su Ming that Tong Xinyao could use spiritual techniques of this level.
But before finally killing the ghoul, Tong Xinyao once changed the technique of [Wind Demon Chase], turning the sandstorm into a restraint, restricting the ghoul's movements. Such performance really surprised Su Ming.
"You took some of the principles of [Seventh Style: Ash Binding] and applied them to [Fifty-Eighth Style: Wind Demon Chasing], and reconstructed the technique, so that the originally single-target attack technique has the characteristics of a binding technique, right?"
Su Ming expressed his understanding, and Tong Xinyao nodded embarrassedly.
"That's a technique called spell transformation. I also learned it from the Warlock Guild."
Tong Xinyao's words moved Su Ming's heart.
"Warlock Guild?"
As an academic organization, the Warlock Guild brings together warlocks from almost all over the world to discuss and research spiritual arts with each other. It is indeed possible that there are many techniques and alternative ways of using spiritual arts.
"You can go and have a look later if you have time."
Su Ming had this idea.
There was no way. He had taught himself most of his spiritual arts from the book of techniques that he got out of the package. Although his skills and techniques in using spiritual arts were not bad, they were mediocre and he copied the methods in the book completely. As a result, he had not learned any advanced skills and techniques so far.
The Demon Hunting Academy does teach some skills and techniques for using certain spells, but it’s obvious that the skills and techniques that students can easily learn in class are not very advanced.
In view of this, Su Ming, as a five-star magician, is unable to use special techniques like spell transformation like Tong Xinyao.
If the Warlock Guild had such skills and techniques, Su Ming wouldn't mind learning them.
"As for the hunter, I have the ancient sword technique. My fighting skills are gradually improving."
"In that case, my warlock combat skills should also be improved at the same time."
“I still have a lot of room for improvement.”
Su Ming was silently making such a plan.
Until Mu Yan suddenly spoke.
"You have such strength, why don't you show it?"
Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.
Mu Yan's sudden question made everyone look at Su Ming.
Su Ming also reacted.
"Don't look at me like that. I just want to avoid some trouble." Su Ming shrugged and said, "Qing'er just said something wrong."
"What?" Feng Qing'er became curious.
"I didn't pretend to be a newcomer, I really just debuted, a pure newcomer." Su Ming almost put the word "newbie" on his face and said, "It's been less than a month since I graduated from the academy. I'm really only 18 years old this year. I even successfully obtained my license this month. How can this be considered a disguise?"
"Ah, this." Feng Qing'er was stunned.
The same goes for Mu Yan and Tong Xinyao.
It was not until then that they thought of a terrible thing.
"That is to say, Master, you have already become a senior professional at the age of eighteen, or even younger?"
Tong Xinyao told this matter tremblingly.
"How is it?" Su Ming grinned and gave a thumbs up, "Great, right?"
Feng Qing'er and Tong Xinyao immediately nodded rapidly.
"Awesome! So awesome!"
"Master, the group leader is awesome!"
The two innocent girls looked at Su Ming with stars in their eyes, making Su Ming, who was just talking casually, at a loss for words.
Only Mu Yan looked at Su Ming deeply.
"It turns out that the historical record has already been broken, but no one knows about it." Mu Yan said calmly: "I think I know why the leader wants to conceal his strength."
If Su Ming's true strength were to be exposed, Tianfeng City would definitely be in a state of chaos.
An eighteen-year-old high-level professional, and a rare warlock, this kind of talent and strength is enough to make super families like the eight major families fight for him.
By then, Su Ming might never have peace.
Don't think that being in the spotlight is a good thing.
In a place like Tianfeng City, a peerless genius like Su Ming would inevitably get into a lot of trouble if he didn't join any force, and would also get into a lot of trouble if he joined any force.
Do you really think that you can rest easy just by joining a big family and getting their support and protection? Who knows if this big family has a mortal enemy? If they see their mortal enemy recruiting such an amazing genius, will they have any bad thoughts?
The relationship between the major forces in Tianfeng City is very complicated and far from being as peaceful as it appears on the surface.
Mu Yan has been in Tianfeng City for quite some time, so she is naturally very clear about this.
Therefore, if Mu Yan were to choose, she would also choose Su Ming's approach.
It is best to make a fortune in silence. If your wealth is exposed, you will be guilty even if you are innocent.
"You knew about this a long time ago?"
Mu Yan turned to Chi Qian who was driving the SUV and asked this question.
Hearing this, Chi Qian, who had remained silent all along and no one knew what he was thinking, gave a bitter smile.
"No, I just found out today that our leader is such a powerful warlock."
This is the truth.
Chi Qian had seen Su Ming use the [Silver Arm] to repel the Poison Queen, and knew that Su Ming was a hidden dual-professional.
But Chi Qian had no idea that in addition to his strength as a hunter, Su Ming's strength as a warlock was also so strong.
She thought that Su Ming was just hiding his strength as a hunter, and his strength as a warlock was consistent with what he showed on the surface, just the level of a one-star warlock who had just debuted.
Who would have thought that Su Ming would suddenly use a nuclear-level spiritual power, bringing down a natural disaster and demonstrating the power to destroy the world.
As for hunters, Su Ming has the special ability of mutation, and can defeat the nightmare-like existence like the Poison Insect Queen, which is comparable to a seven-star professional, with one blow.
As for the sorcerer, Su Ming can easily perform high-level spiritual arts, and his sequence ranking is as high as 81st.
Both professions are superior, and both have the ability to threaten the top of this world.
This kind of talent and ability "may be more terrifying than that person, right?"
Chi Qian couldn't help but think of a figure.
Compared to myself, that person is the real legend.
A legend that dominates the world.
"In the future, is it possible for the leader to surpass that person?"
Just thinking about it, Chi Qian felt scared.
"It seems that I have to make a choice too."
Chi Qian's confusion was gradually replaced by a decision.
The group chatted and laughed all the way back to Tianfeng City.
In the evening, Su Ming and his party came out of the Professional Center.
They completed their mission successfully and received corresponding rewards.
Naturally, the news that Su Ming's team received an A-level mission for the first time and successfully completed it on the same day spread quickly.
The name "Azure Mercury" was remembered by the world for the first time.
This is true whether you are intentional or unintentional.
