Chapter 005 I am truly a clever little genius

Why not simply use "Command the Heavens to Turn" to eliminate all these people instantly
He opened his backpack and took out a set of black combat gear, putting it on while also donning a mask.
Su Ming then planned to sneak away quietly
As a powerful technique that is almost at the pinnacle of advanced spiritual arts, it is evident how much spiritual power is required to execute the "Commanding the Heavens and Earth"
Therefore, Su Ming had no intention of exposing himself and almost instinctively chose to remain concealed
Indeed, being a supporting role is the safest option
It was like kicking a soda can or knocking over a bottle; in any case, it was just a matter of "accidentally" creating some noise, which led to being discovered by the enemy
Now is the time to realize the成果 of the preparations made in a state of vigilance and caution!
This is a bottle of a sedative agent, which, after consumption, can reduce the body's life response, allowing the user to cease almost all life activities for a duration of one hour, without causing any physical discomfort or side effects
Su Ming had long considered the possibility of encountering an emergency situation where he would need to act with all his strength. Therefore, in order to avoid exposing his identity at that time, he had always been prepared with various tools to conceal his true self.
The crowd looked at this clumsy companion, who was dressed similarly to themselves but whose hands and feet were not very agile, and they clicked their tongues in dissatisfaction before continuing with their work
Such a vial of alchemical potion is typically used only when one needs to enter an extremely harsh environment
ーー ! ''
However, these individuals were dressed in uniform combat attire and carried weapons, making it clear that they were not to be trifled with
I am truly a clever little genius
Su Ming glanced at the numerous opponents and then at his solitary self, decisively abandoning this idea
Under the gaze of so many people present, Su Ming's heart was as calm as a still pond, and she even felt a bit like... cursing at someone
It is not that "Destiny Turns the Heavens and Earth" possesses such power, but rather that Su Ming knows he is incapable of utilizing "Destiny Turns the Heavens and Earth".
Su Ming also obtained this bottle of Mysterious Potion during a package opening event, and it has been kept in his backpack until today when he finally took it out
It is better to extricate oneself first
At this moment, Su Ming resembled an inconspicuous extra in a suspicious organization.
Although Su Ming has opened many items that can enhance spiritual power in the packages over the past year, his own spiritual power has long surpassed the level of a student. However, this level of spiritual power still cannot support Su Ming in executing high-level spiritual techniques that are close to the ceiling of their capabilities
I knew it ... ... I knew it! ... ... !
At this moment, the encounter made Su Ming feel a sense of déjà vu.
Su Ming is not that kind of person
Lift Confinement, Intermediate Spiritual Technique, ranked forty-fifth in the sequence, is a type of detection-based technique
Su Ming, while internally expressing his thoughts eloquently, began to naturally observe the people around him, as if searching for something, slowly parting the grass.
It is no longer the age of a typical overpowered protagonist, do you really think that after just one year of crossing over, one can challenge heaven, earth, and the universe
The masked figure at the forefront also waved his hand, causing the other suspicious individuals, who appeared to be hunters, to disperse in all directions as if they were searching for something
Su Ming merely had this fleeting thought and then abandoned further contemplation
As long as one quietly blends in, one can be an inconspicuous extra
A group as suspicious as this appearing in the outskirts in the dead of night, searching for something, is certainly not a trivial matter by any means
What happened next also confirmed Su Ming's thoughts
Do not ask him why there are these items in his backpack, asking is a matter of caution
Su Ming could be certain that these individuals were either hunters or sorcerers
For this reason, Su Ming is willing to think a little more, consider a bit more, and be more cautious.
That is to say, as long as it is not a living organism, it will not trigger the reaction of "lift-induced vortex"
However, the two sorcerers did not cease their reconnaissance at this point; instead, they began to move about on the spot, continuously conducting their surveillance
He stepped on a branch
From now on, as long as one quietly separates from the group, one can leave without anyone noticing
A group consisting of exactly twenty to thirty people, such a number would dare to collectively run to the outskirts in the dead of night; if one were to say they were not emboldened, Su Ming would not believe it
Just as Su Ming was laughing heartily in his heart, suddenly, a voice rang out.
The reason is simple, his spiritual power is still insufficient
Upon witnessing this, Su Ming felt a tightening in his heart
Sometimes, some individuals may use this vial of potion to feign death in order to deceive their enemies
However, he quickly dismissed this thought again
For instance, when one is quietly preparing to leave, it is often at this moment that a compelling plot twist occurs
The "Lift Confinement" is a specialized technique used to detect the spiritual essence of living beings
Are they using the "Lift Confinement" for detection
In the silent night, a group of suspicious individuals suddenly appeared in the outskirts, accompanied by the sound of disordered footsteps, bringing a hint of a chilling atmosphere to the air here
This is a clichéd plot that has appeared in countless storylines, also known as a forced narrative
Before ascertaining the opponent's strength, it is impossible to confront them head-on, nor is it feasible to expose oneself; one can only find ways to continue to endure in this manner
I am leaving, I am leaving
As for relying on one's own strength to confront head-on
In the grass, Su Ming's heart gradually sank downwards
Does Su Ming want to take a lunch box
Su Ming was at a loss for words, feeling utterly despondent
This is how one can live longer and become stronger
Nice!
Almost simultaneously, a sound of breaking branches came from beneath Su Ming's feet
ーー ''
They unleashed their spiritual techniques, causing waves of light composed of particles to begin sweeping away like sound waves
The detected particle stream continuously swept over him, yet it did not elicit any biological response
Although Su Ming was still unaware of the details of this suspicious group and could not ascertain their reaction if they discovered the presence of others nearby, he would not gamble with the safety of individuals whose security could not be guaranteed
Then why not join them
Indeed, he intends to use this bottle of stealth potion to evade detection by those suspicious individuals
As someone aiming to be a supporting character, Su Ming is acutely aware that in such a harsh world, failing to consider matters more thoroughly or to exercise greater caution could very well lead to a disastrous outcome
Su Ming, hiding in the grass, closely observed the scene and looked at each of the suspicious uninvited guests
Su Ming only had such a thought
Furthermore, there is no reason not to be
In this day and age, without a set of night clothes, without tools to conceal one's true identity, and without the means to engage in clandestine activities that cannot be known to others, one would feel embarrassed to claim to be a time traveler who pretends to be a pig while eating a tiger.
Su Ming came up with an idea
He knows that he may be overthinking this
Such a statement shattered the rather oppressive calm of the scene
However, in the next second, Su Ming halted his movement again
Since we cannot win against ... ...
Throughout this year, I have never revealed my true capabilities, nor have I ever taken on any tasks that were too conspicuous; they have no reason to be targeting me
The reason is nothing more than that it has nothing to do with oneself
Indeed, this group is quite large, and as long as they do not deliberately count their numbers, it stands to reason that they will not discover that there is a spy among them.
He does not aspire to be the kind of extra who can exit the stage after receiving his pay, but rather to be an extra who can persist quietly, unnoticed by anyone, seizing the opportunity to develop in the shadows
Only then did a masked individual at the forefront issue some instructions to two people in the crowd, prompting them to step out of the line
After taking it out, Su Ming quietly consumed the bottle of the sedative.
Su Ming silently praised his own cleverness
Based on these considerations, Su Ming believes that these individuals are unlikely to have come specifically for him
Stop joking around
Do not forget, his dream is to become invincible in the world
Yes
The two individuals simultaneously extended their hands, and a series of circular arrays continuously appeared on their palms
All of these individuals are wearing masks; some cover the entire face, while others cover only half of it. Without exception, their appearances are obscured.
Su Ming recognized this spiritual technique, and without any hesitation, directly opened the backpack in his mind's interface and took out a vial of potion
What are they looking for then?
At this moment, are you not going to pull a clichéd plot on me?
Countless plots from past television dramas and novels flashed through Su Ming's mind in that instant, allowing him to easily find similar melodramatic scenes
There is no doubt that these two individuals are sorcerers
Regardless of their intentions, it is certain that once involved, it will inevitably lead to significant trouble
He suddenly had an idea
Su Ming could not help but think this
Moreover, Su Ming came out from the academy on a whim tonight, and no one knew he would appear here. This suspicious group hurriedly arriving like this shows no concern about raising their own alertness, which significantly reduces the likelihood that they are coming for him
Thus, Su Ming quickly dressed himself and quietly stood up from the grass.
Found it
But this is not realistic
Could it be that this is specifically aimed at me
The value of this alchemical potion is not insignificant; at least, ordinary students generally do not have the means to equip themselves with it at any time. Only those professional hunters and sorcerers would be able to procure it.
In an instant, all the suspicious individuals around abruptly turned their heads to look in Su Ming's direction
Moreover, a group of twenty to thirty individuals composed entirely of hunters and sorcerers, assembled to deal with oneself, is truly an overkill for such a situation
The purpose of this technique is to detect living beings within a certain range
At present, it is still a long way from being invincible, and Su Ming would naturally not take the initiative to engage with such an obviously suspicious event
In other words, Su Ming did not wish to encounter any unforeseen circumstances
However, Su Ming had no interest in seeking trouble for himself
For instance, in a swamp filled with toxic gas or at the bottom of a deep body of water, consuming such a vial of potion would allow one to cease breathing and metabolic processes, enabling individuals to explore those perilous environments with harsh conditions
Su Ming does not accept any rebuttals
Just now, Su Ming seemed to have grasped the technique of "Commanding the Heavens and Earth to Turn," but those close to him know their own affairs. He was certain and confident that even if he continued to comprehend it, he would ultimately be unable to execute "Commanding the Heavens and Earth to Turn."
