Chapter 007: I will no longer serve you, young master
No matter how one puts it, Su Ming is merely a sorcerer. To rush forward and engage in a struggle with Xu Qianqian, who is a hunter, the outcome is clear just by thinking about it
Humanity requires sorcerers and hunters to risk their lives in combating the phantoms and resisting the invasion of the spirit demon prison, thus it is only natural to grant them privileges to the greatest extent possible
After leaving the suburbs, Su Ming deliberately took a long detour to disrupt his movement pattern, ensuring that he would not be tracked, before finally removing his combat suit and mask and returning to the academy
Therefore, Su Ming still places considerable importance on this formal license
That was a severe injury that was directly pierced through the entire abdomen by a sharp weapon
In other words, Xu Qianqian originally appeared here with serious injuries
Su Ming and Ye Bai, while yawning continuously, mingled among the crowd, running slowly as if they were two snails
When Su Ming returned to the dormitory, Lei Hao and Ye Bai were still sound asleep, which made Su Ming feel a wave of envy and jealousy
Now, having regained her composure, Xu Qianqian would naturally no longer engage in such foolish acts
Since you, young lady, have such a temper, you may as well stay here and wait for your demise. Su Ming said coldly, "I, young master, will no longer attend to you."
Indeed, your condition is not right
In addition, individuals holding a sorcerer's license or a hunter's license are also permitted to exercise the right to cause legitimate damage or even the right to kill in emergency situations
But by this time, Su Ming had long since departed, and even his silhouette was no longer visible
That is how it is
With the strength displayed by Xu Qianqian, which contradicted the rumors, Su Ming began to suspect that there was something amiss with this rising star of the Hunter Department
Faced with a bit of sleight of hand, Xu Qianqian reacted with surprise and alarm, unable to see through Su Ming's feints, and was completely outmaneuvered by him. Such performance, if it were to be compared to that of a professional hunter, would be an exaggeration.
Immediately, Xu Qianqian turned around and left the scene
However, in a moment of subconscious action, Xu Qianqian licked the bloodstain at the corner of her mouth and swallowed it down.
Hiss!
Uh ... ...
The combat techniques of hunters, in essence, are merely the skills employed during battle
Su Ming inhaled sharply
Bang ... ...
"No!" Lei Hao said with righteous indignation, "Whether you are a hunter or a sorcerer, you need to train your physical fitness and learn combat skills. This is the academy's rule for demon hunters. Do you want to fail the next test?"
Xu Qianqian's gaze began to regain clarity
If one is persuaded to withdraw, then it will not be possible to obtain the sorcerer's license and become a professional sorcerer
... ...
His ambition is greater than anyone can imagine
In light of this, whether considering his own future development or the safety of his family, even for the sake of those enticing privileges, Su Ming did not wish to be persuaded to withdraw from the Demon Hunter Academy
It seems that this is all that can be done today
The Demon Hunting Academy has very strict attendance requirements
After a short while, Xu Qianqian turned her head again and looked in another direction
Saying this, Su Ming turned around and left this place directly
Look over there
Su Ming seemed to sense something, suddenly reaching out his hand to lift the clothing covering Xu Qianqian's abdomen
Su Ming looked at Xu Qianqian like this, then glanced at his own bleeding wrist
These are the privileges of warlocks and hunters
Having regained her composure, Xu Qianqian is finally able to make a wise judgment
It is evident that the sorcerers are quite weary of such physical activities
The other side
If there are tasks assigned, one can still obtain approval from the institution for leave. However, Su Ming's task was already submitted yesterday, and this would have been recorded. If he does not attend class, the issue of attendance will severely impact him
In summary, you all should get up quickly, as it has become lively outside
After realizing that he might not be able to catch up on sleep, Su Ming's mood became extremely poor
This mad woman
In any case, exercising is something everyone can do, and it only brings benefits without any drawbacks. At critical moments, it can even save lives. Therefore, the Demon Hunter Academy naturally requires the sorcerers of the Sorcery Department to participate as well.
Why must warlocks learn both spiritual arts and combat skills, while hunters only need to learn combat skills?
Ke Su not only pounced but also quickly gained the upper hand
Although Su Ming also wore a face of despair, he did not resist and got out of bed obediently
The task only requires me to investigate the purpose and origins of this suspicious group, and does not involve stopping them or engaging in conflict with them
Xu Qianqian clenched her small white teeth tightly
If the attendance rate does not meet the requirements, the institution will assign mandatory tasks for the students to carry out
At that moment, a slight commotion arose on the playground
The intense explosions continued to resonate from that direction, informing others that the conflict there was far from over
Su Ming was struck by a palm from Ye Bai
Is this ... ... ?
Early in the morning, Lei Hao was full of energy, shouting loudly, which left Su Ming and Ye Bai feeling quite exasperated
Su Ming could only lie down as soon as possible, forcing himself to fall asleep, sleeping as long as he could.
After all, learning the art of combat is also Su Ming's heartfelt desire
It is very simple. "Lei Hao stated frankly: 'Because no matter what, we cannot use spiritual techniques, but you sorcerers can employ combat techniques.'"
The playground of the Demon Hunting Academy is located in the very center of the campus, covering a vast area
And this is clearly not the doing of Su Ming
Ye Bai, holding the blanket, pleaded with sleepy eyes
Do not let me know who is secretly plotting against me
According to Su Ming, Xu Qianqian from the academy is a very calm and composed person, one might even say she is aloof. She would certainly not behave as she did today, rushing towards others without a word, either to fight to the death with them or to risk her own life. Every action of hers reveals a sense of impatience and impulsiveness
Following the direction pointed out by Ye Bai, Su Ming raised his eyebrows in surprise
However, he did not expect that Xu Qianqian would appear here with such serious injuries
Xu Qianqian had a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, struggling to rise while holding her abdomen, her pale face gasping for breath
At this moment, Su Ming could only let go of Xu Qianqian
There was, astonishingly, a huge wound that was striking to behold
The combat techniques of hunters may merely serve to strengthen the body for other sorcerers, but for Su Ming, it is not the case
It goes without saying that there are classes today
If one does not carry out the tasks, being advised to withdraw will become the only outcome
Moreover, Xu Qianqian's emotional expressions have been excessively abnormal, or one might say, overly impatient and impulsive.
Su Ming seized the opportunity and quickly subdued Xu Qianqian. Looking into her eyes and feeling her strength, he couldn't help but speak.
Spare me, Master Lei, Father Lei, can you practice on your own?
He had long noticed that Xu Qianqian was acting strangely
Xu Qianqian stared at Su Ming's back, a murderous intent once again flickering in her eyes, as if she wanted to charge forward again
Su confirmed the reason for the sense of incongruity he had just experienced
Get up quickly, it's time for morning exercise, Su Ming, Ye Bai
The reason is quite simple
It is precisely for this reason that no one ultimately pursued responsibility for the public property damage caused by Su Ming and others in their confrontation with the illusionary demon on the street yesterday, and some even took the initiative to help clean up the aftermath, even though they were merely trainees and had not yet obtained formal licenses
It seems that Ke Xu Qian Qian did not take it in.
No wonder you acted so strangely in the recent battle
Moreover, Xu Qianqian's severe abdominal injury was surprisingly healing at a visibly rapid pace
Because Xu Qianqian bit down on Su Ming's wrist, she actually broke the skin, causing blood to flow from Su Ming's hand.
Su Ming furrowed his brows tightly
Feeling all of this, Xu Qianqian couldn't help but raise her head and look in Su Ming's direction
At this time, the sky was already dimly bright.
What exactly have you encountered
It is not just the two of them; most of the students in the Sorcerer Department are in this state.
In this way, Su Ming will no longer be able to enjoy the various privileges specifically granted to hunters and sorcerers
This privilege directly alleviated Su Ming's concerns for his family, who lived in fear of when they might be attacked by the phantoms
Whether it is martial arts or weapon techniques, these combat skills, when in the hands of a physically formidable hunter, possess a power that is not to be taken lightly
Mainly, Xu Qianqian, who has been tracking this group for some time, is well aware that it would be extremely presumptuous to think that she could confront this suspicious group, which has two to three dozen hunters and sorcerers, with her personal strength alone
What Su Ming values most is that the families of professional hunters and sorcerers will enjoy special protective rights from the official authorities of the base city, allowing them to reside in the key protected areas of the city center, receiving protection from numerous professionals, thus maximizing their distance from the threats posed by illusions and demons.
... ...
This is not at all like the Xu Qianqian that Su Ming knows
At this moment, Xu Qianqian's delicate body trembled slightly, and the killing intent in her eyes surprisingly receded like a tide.
Xu Qianqian struggled for a while, and ultimately let out a sigh
Without further ado, it must be noted that Xu Qianqian, who ranks among the top three in the entire Hunter Department of the Demon Hunter Academy and possesses strength comparable to that of professional hunters, has just demonstrated abilities that are in stark contrast to the rumors that Su Ming had heard.
Su Ming resigned himself to his fate and walked heavily in the direction of the dormitory
In the end, Su Ming was still awakened after sleeping for less than two hours
Let me go ... ... !
Suddenly, Xu Qianqian let out a cry of distress, and the strength of her struggles diminished significantly.
It is completely over
Moreover, she has more important matters to investigate
In that place, impatience and impulsiveness have already vanished, replaced by composure and calmness
In contrast, those hunters are full of energy, running incredibly fast while constantly shouting and calling out, making one wonder if this is a military training exercise.
Just as Su Ming's act of tearing open his own clothes was met with strong protests, Xu Qianqian, despite her serious injuries, struggled with all her might.
Previously, due to her severe injuries, the brutality of the "blood" within her was awakened, prompting her impulsive decision to follow without regard for anything else
Although sorcerers do not possess the robust physique of hunters, in critical situations, when faced with a lack of spiritual power, they can still struggle using their physical strength and martial skills
Xu Qianqian's eyes flickered slightly, as if she were lost in thought
At this point in time, one by one, the hunters and sorcerers have emerged from their dormitories, engaging in a lively morning run here
Ignoring Ye Bai's expression of utter despair, Lei Hao directly pulled him out of the bed.
From a third-party perspective, Su Ming's impulsive actions are undoubtedly very unwise
For example, the inability to purchase alchemical potions, illusionary materials, access the official market, and training facilities, among others, will impact Su Ming's development
