Chapter 389 "Guardian"

In human recorded history, the youngest senior professional was promoted at the age of twenty-three.

Su Ming was only eighteen years old, and was an extremely rare dual-professional, yet he had trained both professions to a high level. Even No. 3 among the Ten Demons was no match for him and was easily crushed by him.

In addition, he possesses a legendary artifact, and his achievements and extraordinary qualities have been spread. It would be strange if he was not popular in a place like Tianfeng City.

Su Ming didn't even need to take out the terminal to confirm. He could imagine that at this moment, the official website of Tianfeng City must be flooded with reports about him.

"This is completely unbearable."

Su Ming sighed.

"What's wrong?" Ling Lao asked in a somewhat strange tone, "Are you unhappy?"

"Why should I be happy?" Su Ming sighed, "I seem to see endless troubles coming towards me. What is there to be happy about?"

Apart from anything else, just the identity of the holder of the artifact, Su Ming could foresee how much attention and prying eyes this would attract from people with ulterior motives.

When the news that King Ming had obtained the divine weapon spread, both the Yun family and the Xu family were implicated. They were tempted, threatened, or lured into giving trouble by countless famous foreign forces, all for the sake of this legendary divine weapon that could give people terrible power.

The artifact really lived up to its legend. The girl Qingqing, holding the Blade of Sin, was able to suppress a wounded nightmare mutant. Even Li Wu could only rely on extraordinary means to control the opponent. He was obviously very afraid of its power. His own Demon Emperor Sword must be not too bad.

Although such power is dangerous, there are definitely countless people who are eyeing it.

Even if he doesn't use it himself, like "Sin", he can give it to the girl Qingqing to use, and then he can rely on some extraordinary means to control the other party and use her to achieve some ulterior purposes. Isn't that also good?

Therefore, Su Ming dared to say that his exposure this time must have attracted the attention of countless people.

In the future, I’m afraid I’ll be in big trouble.

"That's true." Ling Lao nodded in agreement, but suddenly changed the subject and said, "Only if I am not there."

Su Ming was stunned.

What does this mean?

"I mean, I will solve your problem for you." Elder Ling looked at Su Ming's puzzled expression, smiled, and said, "Although I am not like the other old guys, who either have a big family or a big force under their command, but believe me, as long as I spread the word that you are mine, then no one in Tianfeng City will dare to cause trouble for you openly."

When saying this, Mr. Ling's tone was not particularly confident, but rather very indifferent and calm. But it was precisely because of this that his words were convincing.

"You don't need to worry about the troubles caused by those people with ulterior motives. I will help you to prevent them."

Old Ling said this with a smile, leaving Su Ming speechless.

After a while, Su Ming scratched his head.

"It seems that you, Mr. Ling, are a more complicated person than I thought." Su Ming looked directly at Mr. Ling and said, "But why did you help me?"

Mr. Ling did not deny that he had his own ideas and that they were not simply out of kindness.

"Of course I have my considerations."

Elder Ling said this.

"I'd like to hear more about it."

Su Ming naturally wouldn't let the old man get away with it.

"There are two reasons."

Elder Ling glanced at Su Ming and spoke slowly.

"The first reason is that I believe in your potential and I don't want you, a monstrous person who has never been seen before and may never be seen again, to die at the hands of one of our own people."

From Ling Lao's standpoint and perspective, it would undoubtedly be a foolish thing for a super genius like Su Ming, who has never been seen before and may never be seen again, to die at the hands of his own human beings.

With Su Ming's potential and strength, he should be a super sharp knife used by humans to deal with the Spirit Demon Prison. Even if he dies, it should be at the hands of the phantom demon or on the battlefield. If he dies in the internal strife of humans, it will become a huge stain engraved in human history.

For this reason, Mr. Ling chose to help.

"The second reason is actually similar. I still believe in your potential, but I personally want you to be my successor."

Su Ming blinked at Elder Ling's words.

"Heir?"

Su Ming became confused.

Seeing this, Mr. Ling showed an obvious bitter smile.

"It seems that you really don't know me." Ling Lao smiled bitterly and said in a ridiculous way: "Why don't you use your terminal to search for the name "Ling Xiao"?"

"Ling Xiao?" Su Ming muttered.

Is this Mr. Ling’s real name?

Well, he is quite domineering, just like the protagonist Long Aotian in the amateur novels.

Thinking of this, Su Ming took out the terminal and searched the name "Ling Xiao".

This search completely shocked Su Ming.

"Ling Xiao, a seven-star professional, the patron saint of Tianfeng City."

"He does not belong to any family, nor does he belong to any power, but he holds the supreme position in Tianfeng City."

"He is the chairman of the Seven Star Conference, the highest level in Tianfeng City. He is the leader of all Seven Star professionals. He has the highest status, the strongest power, and the most say in Tianfeng City. Even the royal family that manages Tianfeng City has to respect him like a god."

"In this era, he is recognized by the world as the strongest hunter and the strongest professional. He is known as the ultimate weapon of mankind and is invincible in the world."

Such information is displayed clearly and distinctly in the terminal.

Although there is not much information, only a few lines, the contents of those lines are all shocking.

At this moment, Su Ming had only one thought in his mind.

"Nimma, he really is the protagonist Long Aotian in the amateur novel?"

The patron saint of Tianfeng City? The leader of the Seven Star Professionals?

The strongest professional? Invincible?

With all these titles, he is not the protagonist, but he is better than the protagonist! Su Ming could only look at Elder Ling who was looking at him with a smile, in astonishment. He never expected that this old man had such a great background.

No wonder he dared to say that, claiming that he could help him avoid all the troubles.

This guy is the thickest thigh in Tianfeng City, the most terrifying boss. If he really wants to praise himself, who dares to provoke him? Even the eight great families don't dare, right?

"wrong."

Su Ming suddenly discovered the highlight.

"Are you a hunter?"

That's right.

The introduction on Tianfeng City’s official website clearly states that the old man Ling in front of him is the strongest hunter.

But... But isn't he a sorcerer?

Su Ming was confused.

In response to this, Mr. Ling simply made his expression even more amusing.

"I am a hunter." Ling Lao said, "but I am also a warlock."

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Ming completely understood.

"You are also a dual-professional?"

Su Ming's even more intense surprise was rewarded with Ling Lao's smiling nod.

"I am a seven-star hunter and a six-star warlock, so I don't belong to any family."

"Because I am not a natural hunter from a hunter family, but a warlock who has awakened his spiritual physique."

"However, by chance, I had no choice but to swallow a bottle of magic potion, and finally successfully survived the pitifully low odds and became a dual-professional."

The way Elder Ling looked at Su Ming was as if he was looking at one of his own kind.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

"That's why I want you to be my successor, because you are the only dual-professional person I have ever seen besides me."

Why is Mr. Ling the strongest professional?

It's not just because he is the strongest hunter, but also because he has the strength of a six-star warlock.

Su Ming had heard that once humans reached the Seventh Star, they would no longer have the possibility of advancement due to the limitations of their bloodline and spirituality levels.

Therefore, after reaching the Seven Stars, there is no longer any such thing as beginner, lower level, upper level, or peak level for professionals. They are all collectively called Seven Star professionals, and their strength is at the same level. The only difference is in combat skills, combat experience, and so on.

Unlike other levels, there is still an obvious gap in strength between beginners and those of the same star level who have reached the peak level.

Therefore, the strength gap between seven-star professionals is not that big.

It is extremely difficult, even impossible, for a seven-star professional to defeat another seven-star professional.

Unless the opponent is not in good shape, or there are obvious advantages and disadvantages in conditions between both sides.

For example, one of the seven-star professionals holds a top-grade alchemical weapon, while the other seven-star professional holds a lower-grade alchemical weapon. In this case, the former will naturally have many advantages.

But as a seven-star professional standing at the top of humanity, it is basically impossible for him to have such a shabby net worth.

Be it combat skills or spiritual skills, including alchemical weapons, combat experience, combat methods and fighting skills, etc., these seven-star professionals who have already reached the pinnacle of humanity will basically not have much gap.

Even though Old Ling was known as the strongest hunter, Su Ming could say with certainty that if he fought with other seven-star hunters of the same star level based solely on his hunter strength, the gap would definitely not be too big. At most, he would just have some advantages in combat skills and other aspects.

Of course, if one Seven Star Hunter possesses powerful mutation abilities and the other does not, then the gap between the two is quite obvious.

But even so, as beings of the same level, it is still not easy for one party to easily defeat the other party unless one party possesses a foul-level mutation ability like Su Ming's [Silver Arm].

However, Elder Ling is not only a hunter, but also a warlock.

A dual-professional is completely different from others of the same level.

Just look at Su Ming and you will know.

Even if Su Ming did not use spiritual magic, he could challenge opponents of higher levels simply by relying on his extraordinary spiritual perception and the strength of his right hand.

Even if we don't take into account the strength of the right hand and the mutant ability, it would not be difficult to challenge opponents of higher levels just based on the strength of a dual-professional.

Elder Ling is not only a seven-star hunter, but also a six-star warlock. With the two combined, his strength is probably far greater than that of other strong men of the same level.

This is the advantage and power of dual-professionals.

If this were not the case, Su Ming would not have taken such a huge risk to try to take advantage of the outrageous success rate of dual-professionals.

It is precisely because of the strength of dual-professionals that Su Ming is willing to pursue it.

And Elder Ling obviously took a fancy to Su Ming's dual-professional identity.

"I have always been worried. If I die one day, what will happen to Tianfeng City and the human race?"

"Seven-star professionals are certainly powerful, but being called the patron saint of mankind and the ace of mankind is not enough."

"Among the phantom demons, nightmare species already have power close to the seven-star level. The best nightmare species can even rival the seven-star professionals of humans and compete with the top humans."

"But above the nightmare species, there are nightmare species mutants, and even horror species, which even I fear."

"If such a being appears, does it mean that humans will have to rely on a large number of sacrifices to perform forbidden techniques every time in order to resist the invasion of these beings?"

Elder Ling looked at Su Ming with burning eyes.

"If this continues, when will it end?"

Mr. Ling obviously has a great sense of crisis and is extremely worried about the current situation of humanity.

He knew very well that human beings were far inferior to the power of demons.

He himself didn't know how many times he had saved humanity from danger.

And every time those dangers came, they could not be solved by just one or two seven-star professionals.

"Humanity needs a stronger force, a trump card that is more powerful than the Seven-Star Professionals."

"I have always wanted to find a successor to protect Tianfeng City and the human race in the future."

"Unfortunately, dual-professionals are too rare, and the probability of their appearance is too low. They are even rarer than those so-called soul carriers."

Elder Ling sighed.

"At least, as far as I know, I am the only dual-professional person in the world today. The only dual-professional person who was born before me was a person from 200 years ago, and he was only a three-star hunter and a four-star warlock."

If they were just dual-professionals, then it would be possible for one or two to appear with incredible luck.

But even if one becomes a dual-professional, whether this dual-professional has the potential and talent to reach the top is another matter.

There are tens of thousands of hunters in the world, but how many of them can become Seven-Star Hunters?

There are tens of thousands of sorcerers in the world, but how many of them can become seven-star sorcerers?

There are only a dozen of them in the entire Tianfeng City, and only a few dozen in the entire human race, which proves the rarity of seven-star professionals.

In this way, even if one could become a dual-professional, after practicing both professions, the possibility of reaching the top and advancing to seven stars is extremely low.

Even a figure like Old Ling, whose warlock strength has not yet reached seven stars, is a clear example.

"Originally, I had already given up and was planning to look for someone with extraordinary talent, a relatively powerful mutant ability, or someone who has learned extraordinary spiritual skills as my successor."

Mr. Ling suddenly burst into laughter.

"Until you showed up, I finally regained hope."
