374: Chapter 354: Substitute Training 374: Chapter 354: Substitute Training “Who is she?”
Watching the angrily departing Su Zhizhu, Mi Xier asked emotionlessly.
The killing intent and aura displayed by those high-end professionals is just a regular occurrence for Lu Ping’an, but for pure newcors, it’s an overly stimulating threat of death.
Lu Ping’an, who was stared at by Su Zhizhu, appeared indifferent.
However, the three students behind him felt the unpleasant taste of not having control over their own lives.
“A rcenary I had crossed paths with during work previously, just a minor grudge, nothing but a small matter.”
They had such a reaction just over a small matter?
The three exchanged glances, finding it a bit hard to believe.
The chill that had reached their spines, they had thought it was a life-and-death enmity.
“Is she very strong?”
“Silver-tier, perhaps.
But it’s no big deal, her partner was much stronger, and they suffered so losses at my hands back then, so it’s normal for them to bear a grudge.”
Lu Ping’an didn’t really care.
Even if a full-scale fight were to break out, even if Baman Zhen joined, the one to die wouldn’t be Lu Ping’an.
“Silver-tier is no big deal?”
“Is this the legendary Silver-tier?”
“Fourth-tier professional?
There aren’t many in the entire Ancient City University…
no, not even in the entire ancient city.
Top-tier professionals who actually suffered losses at the hands of Lu Ping’an?”
“He’s a contractor, so it can’t be a lie…”
At this mont, the girls were truly astonished.
No matter how highly they had estimated Lu Ping’an before, they had only considered him as an outstanding “Ancient City University student”.
The most imaginative among them would at most see him as a qualified Special Service Team mber.
In their opinion, they should be in a better position compared to Lu Ping’an after eting Uncle Lin from the Special Service Team today.
Lin Feng looked like a true old stager, while Lu Ping’an seed like a high school graduate who had just turned eighteen–the slow-growing kind, not the robust type (due to the side effects of illness).
Now, a fourth-tier professional actually suffered losses at the hands of Lu Ping’an?
And from the looks of it, they were heavily tricked?
Even though their opponent had already taken action, Lu Ping’an remained calm and composed, which also demonstrated his absolute confidence.
“Could he be a famous, formidable strongman?
He’s too young, isn’t he?”
“All the way Ping’an…
Is this the ‘All the way Ping’an’ that Brother Guan ntioned?
The titled strongman?”
It’s likely that from now on, the three would find it difficult to maintain the previous “classmates, peers” ntality when facing Lu Ping’an.
At this mont, however, Lu Ping’an nodded in satisfaction.
i Yuge, the Tool Man, was more useful than he had anticipated…
especially in terms of countering Su Zhizhu.
What Su Zhizhu had taught Lu Ping’an was, in her view, the foundation of her school of thought, and sothing her family would sell rely for a price.
During the “trade”, she had been very restrained in what she shared and kept many key things to herself.
Her weak points, in particular, would never be ntioned.
But in reality, she had already revealed a lot.
She was a Paper Master, and her dium was “blood”, the core that could not be concealed.
The most basic condition for Tars to control “items” is that the nature of the object itself is relatively fixed–a car is a car, a sword is a sword, paper is paper.
Su Zhizhu’s frequent use of “Turn Stone to Iron” to reinforce objects was to ensure “paper’s” integrity.
But what if the paper were made wet, could it still be controlled?
Even if it’s still as hard as iron, but its “blood” as the “rune dium” is mixed with water, is it still the sa as before?
Does it et the conditions of being controlled?
The dium and runes must remain stable, which is an iron rule that all Tars and Protection system Abnormal Ability Users must follow.
“Su-style blood” mixed with water undergoes a change in purity, and theoretically, it should no longer be able to control paper.
Furthermore, the change in properties caused by the wet paper made it increasingly difficult for Lu Ping’an, the tar, to believe it could be easily controlled.
Lu Ping’an noticed that in these past few days, as long as it rained, Su Zhizhu would stay at the trading land for the entire day, without any intention of taking on tasks.
“Perhaps, she’s afraid of the rain.”
Various verifications reached a conclusion, and today’s reality confird her fatal weakness…
Of course, in her view, it could be avoided by simply not going out when it rains or when rain is forecasted.
“i Yuge, a true top-class tool-man, who would have thought that a fourth-tier master would actually be countered by a newbie just entering the profession.
Ah, better not casually reveal i Yuge’s ability; otherwise, Su Zhizhu…
or perhaps her entire Su Family might kill her.”
Of course, Lu Ping’an wouldn’t think that Su Zhizhu would beco a completely powerless waste after the rain, but a significant decrease in strength could be anticipated.
At the mont they t, Lu Ping’an gave the agreed-upon secret code, signaling i Yuge to start calling the rain.
After all, he didn’t want to go all out in this area, as it was simply not worth it.
The light rain had stopped long ago, and it lasted less than two minutes.
Even with Lu Ping’an’s “investnt” as a source of confidence, all of i Yuge’s power was still drained.
A little further away, there wasn’t even a single dark cloud.
But at this mont, the sky was already mostly dark, so no one should notice.
After the small interlude, Lu Ping’an looked at his companions and began to get down to business.
“Your condition should be good; try tackling the Secret Realm.”
Lu Ping’an’s words may seem a bit too cruel to the young people, as their skill level made the difficulty of the Secret Realm a bit too high.
However, that’s only if outsiders don’t interfere.
“Xiier, you go in first, take this axe, it’s coated with poison; be careful.
Oh right, if you encounter animated armor, the effect of the poison may be poor or even ineffective, so just be aware of that..
“These ‘plant grenades,’ you guys split them up, just throw and they’ll activate.
If you’re lucky, they might even instant-kill, but don’t blow yourselves up…
If you do, just use the passphrase to co out, and if you’re not dead, I’ll save you.”
“Later, go to the restroom and change into my clothes…
Don’t misunderstand, the special service team uniforms are high-quality protective equipnt, and at least for now, I can’t find anything better.
This one has even undergone a custom modification, so you guys take turns using it.”
“And these items here, they’re all Taboo items, with low levels ranging from black iron to brass.
I’ll explain the functions, and you guys can pick a few to try out.
Using them to bully so small magic monsters should be a piece of cake.”
“Drink the magic potion first, and the investnt state should still be active.
Alright, let’s begin…”
By the ti Xiier entered the realm again, she had already beco a heavily ard axe-warrior.
With all those odds and ends hanging on her, killing 0-tier or 1-tier magic monsters would be like child’s play.
Lu Ping’an didn’t expect them to go far, just gaining experience in one or two layers and facing the test of real combat would be a huge improvent for them.
Tackling the initial trials of the Secret Realm would greatly benefit their professional advancent, and if their luck exploded with a “reward,” they’d soar to new heights.
In fact, others would do the sa with their newcors, such as Su Zhizhu entrusting so Paper Beasts to newbies for them to easily clear a few layers.
Watching Xiier’s nervous face disappear into the Secret Realm’s entrance, Lu Ping’an returned to the central plaza area, where the screens were gathered, and where people gathered to watch and rest.
He didn’t expect to see Xiier on the screen, as the number of screens was limited and would only pick the most potential and cool-looking battles.
Even when it wasn’t during the peak number of players, it still wasn’t sothing that Xiier, who was still at the first-tier, could challenge.
He only wanted to find a spot and chat with the other two, letting them watch other people’s battles to ease their nervousness.
But as soon as he arrived, he saw the screen filled with flying paper cranes distracting everyone’s attention.
In just the ten minutes or so that it took Lu Ping’an to distribute the equipnt, Su Zhizhu had already aggressively advanced more than twenty layers and was currently enjoying being besieged by a group of monsters.
“Heh, she’s quite worked up…
But, it’s a good chance for to see her actual combat skills.”
