Chapter 118: Psychic Power
Chapter 118: A Critical Moment, Mental Power (Please Subscribe)
Shadow remained calm and wanted to enter the restaurant and kill the cobbler with a thunderous force.
As a killer whose combat power has reached the Bone Phase Realm, Shadow's strength is unquestionable. Even if he has not yet awakened the Bone Phase, as long as he takes the initiative at this moment, he can easily take down the leatherworker.
The prerequisite is to enter the restaurant and strike first.
However, just as he was about to take action, the cobbler's gaze turned towards him. At this moment, the cobbler was like a hungry wolf ready to pounce.
Shadow froze.
As a master of the art of stealth, the leatherworker has a combat power of only 120.0. Even if he has awakened his physical form, his flesh and blood have evolved, and his perception has become sharper, it is impossible to discover him.
You know, even Yan Fei, a strong man who has opened the Bone Realm, only realized something was wrong when he heard the message from his bracelet at the door of the sleeping room and learned that the protection mission was cancelled. He then locked onto his figure through his perception.
How could a shoemaker have such virtue and ability?
Able to lock onto his figure instantly.
Shadow thought back to what happened before and realized the problem. He watched Zhang Lingfeng enter the restaurant and followed him all the way, guarding against Zhang Lingfeng but not against other people.
Perhaps that was why the leatherworker, who had been paying attention to his surroundings, discovered him.
But this reason was a bit far-fetched, and Shadow knew that there must be something wrong in some link.
Under the gaze of the cobbler, he did not act rashly. Although his combat power was far superior to that of the cobbler, in a face-to-face fight, he could kill the cobbler with one blow and quickly kill him even without a sneak attack.
But at this time, the cobbler was sitting five meters behind Zhang Lingfeng.
He and Zhang Lingfeng were forty or fifty meters apart, and there was a window of explosion-proof glass specially made for the restaurant in between. When he stood outside the restaurant, he could only see the situation inside clearly through the explosion-proof glass.
Shadow understood that even if he had superb skills, terrifying physical fitness, and even the means to kill with one blow, he could not ensure that he could kill Shi the cobbler while ensuring Zhang Lingfeng's safety under such circumstances.
So he quickly connected with the Martial Hall personnel through the Hidden Killing Department.
About a minute later.
Three members of the Martial Hall who were sitting in a fan shape near the entrance of the restaurant all had the same message pop up on their wristbands.
The content is very simple.
The young high school martial arts student in front of the leather worker is a dazzling new star in South City and a key protected person. Even if he lets the leather worker leave, he must ensure his safety.
At this moment, all three of them felt the pressure.
Because the leatherworker was also looking at them, he informed the three of them that their whereabouts were exposed.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the restaurant became very tense. The waiter also sensed something was wrong and left in a hurry after serving the food and drinks.
"Susuo..."
The cobbler continued to slurp the noodles, pouring the sauce into the noodles, stirring and eating, as if the noodles in front of him were the best delicacy in the world.
As a city guard general, even if he was only a general of a small area, he was able to escape from Jiangnan Province all the way to Jiangbei Province and all the way to Nancheng. If he had no extraordinary qualities, relying only on his combat power in the physical realm, on the day he was wanted, he could not even leave Jiangnan Province, let alone enter Jiangbei Province and run to Nancheng.
This was all thanks to the fact that he successfully opened the door to his sea of consciousness and formed mental power during his escape.
With the help of mental power, he not only possesses powerful perception and insight, but his physical functions also seem to have been enhanced. His combat power value is no longer the so-called 112.0-120.0.
He embezzled resource subsidies just to open the door to the sea of consciousness, form mental power, and become a mentalist, allowing himself to leap from a small general in the city guards to the second in command, or even the top person in his field.
Unfortunately, opening the door to the sea of consciousness requires a lot of precious material subsidies, and those precious material subsidies are distributed by the seven major galaxy alliances and given to martial arts students who hope to open the sea of consciousness and become telekinetic masters.
These martial arts students not only receive various kinds of attention and care, but they are also usually led in their practice by spiritual masters. Every time they receive resource subsidies, the relevant departments will carefully check them.
The cobbler's behavior of embezzling resources was soon exposed and he was caught red-handed. Considering that he was a warrior in the physical realm and a general of the city guards, the Seven Star System Alliance, after review, finally sent him to the war zone to participate in a three-year campaign and deprived him of the power of his position.
Give him a chance to mend his ways.
As a result, during his service in the war zone, Shi Pijiang once again discovered that the resource subsidy that could help open the sea of consciousness and form mental power could not help but start to have evil thoughts.
But after learning his lesson once, he learned how to deceive his teammates and make them scapegoats. Unfortunately, under strict review and investigation, Shi Pijiang was once again exposed.
Having stolen material subsidies twice, and the resource subsidies were for psychics, the leatherworker knew what kind of punishment he would face.
It might take him 10 to 20 years to leave the war zone, or even to carry out the most dangerous missions, in order to offset his merits and demerits. He was unwilling to accept this and longed to become a telekinetic master.
So he chose to rebel, escape from the war zone, and took the initiative to kill several inspectors, fleeing all the way to Jiangbei Province.
He accidentally learned that there was a catfish monster's nest in the large radiation zone of Nancheng, Jiangbei Province. There was a telekinetic crystal in the nest that could help him open his sea of consciousness, form telekinesis, and become a powerful spiritual telekineticist.
He knew clearly that at this stage, the survival of the human race was in danger. If he became a powerful telepath, even if he made mistakes, the Seven Star System Alliance would still let him off.
What made him happy was that he actually opened his sea of consciousness during the escape and formed a weak mental power.
As long as he finds the telekinetic crystal in the catfish monster's lair and refines it, he can become a powerful telekinetic master.
At the same time, relying on that spiritual power, he avoided several dangers in succession, sneaked into Jiangbei Province, and came to Nancheng.
During this period, a catfish monster storm had just occurred in the large radiation zone, and the security was tight. He did not dare to act rashly. In addition, his whereabouts had been exposed, and the Martial Hall personnel had chased him to the South City and launched a large-scale search in the Outer Ring City. He then entered the Inner Ring City and prepared to lurk for a while.
When the time is right, he will enter the large radiation zone to look for telekinetic crystals to transform his mental power. He knows that even if he opens his sea of consciousness and possesses weak mental power, even if he can become a mentalist, without strong mental power, it will not be enough to gain the recognition and understanding of the Seven Galaxy Alliance.
What he didn't expect was that the Wudian staff found him so quickly.
And blocked him in the restaurant.
What was even more terrifying was that outside the restaurant, a guy who made his mind and energy tremble appeared. That guy was none other than Shadow.
At this moment, the cobbler's mind was working rapidly.
He realized that he was surrounded. Even if he could break out of the encirclement of the Martial Hall personnel, he could not escape from the shadow's palm.
So he's stalling for time.
He was racking his brains, planning how to escape.
The appearance of Zhang Lingfeng just gave him hope. He could tell from his age that Zhang Lingfeng was a martial arts student. The fact that he had the martial arts students from the Inner Ring City in his hands was enough to make the people in the Martial Hall cautious.
Just the shadow.
For some reason, when he spotted the other person, he could see tension in his eyes and sense his powerful aura. The leatherworker was a little suspicious.
Could it be that something I did angered this person, making him want to kill me immediately?
Also because of the shadow, he focused all his attention on the shadow.
As for Zhang Lingfeng, he took him as a hostage.
As a martial artist at the Flesh Realm and an existence that had awakened spiritual power, Shi Pijiang didn't need to take Zhang Lingfeng seriously as he was a high school martial arts student, and in a place like South City. Even looking at Zhang Lingfeng for a second longer would be an exaggeration to him.
"What!"
Zhang Lingfeng ordered a noodle set.
The murderous and threatening voice of the cobbler was like an electric shock to him. Especially the identity information on the bracelet made him dare not act rashly.
However, Zhang Lingfeng could also realize at this time that the three people facing them with their backs against the restaurant entrance, forming a fan-shaped encirclement, were coming for Shi the leatherworker.
Shi the cobbler was planning how to escape, and so was Zhang Lingfeng.
With a nervous look on his face, he tried to divert the attention of the leatherworker by sucking his noodles, hoping that he would let down his guard.
He couldn't help but think of the broadcast he heard that day, including the identity information of the leatherworker.
He vaguely remembered that Shi Pijiang was a warrior in the Flesh Realm, who had already activated the Flesh Realm, with a Combat Power value between 112.0-120.0 and a Physical Fitness value between 29.0-31.0.
My combat power seems to be on par with his, but my physical fitness is far inferior to his. This is the gap between the two Dharma images.
As a martial arts student, Zhang Lingfeng had a clear understanding in his heart that Shi Pijiang was able to escape all the way from Jiangnan Province to Jiangbei Province, evade the pursuit of the martial arts hall personnel, and escape all the way to Nancheng. He must have extraordinary qualities and it is definitely not as simple as it seems.
Such a vicious and cruel person is not something that a martial artist like me can deal with, even if my combat power exceeds that of the other person by several points.
So Zhang Lingfeng slurped his noodles while thinking about how to escape. He didn't think about helping the martial arts hall staff to capture Shi the leather worker, getting a reward for his meritorious service, etc.
I just hope that I won't cause any trouble to the martial arts hall staff and can escape danger.
This idea coincides with his identity, strength and fate. At this dangerous moment, Zhang Lingfeng will not act rashly.
Of course, we won't sit still and wait for death.
He briefly observed the situation around him, and pictures emerged in his mind. He knew in his heart that the cobbler called him and wanted to take him hostage. Only if he became the other party's hostage could the other party escape.
Therefore, unless you force the other party into a desperate situation, your life should not be in danger.
Therefore, if the opponent is ready to hold him hostage, he can use his perfect spear skills to break free from his restraints and distance himself from him as soon as possible. Then the three martial arts hall personnel over there will be able to quickly subdue him.
Therefore, the moment the cobbler took action was the best time for him to escape.
No matter what, Shi Pijiang would never think that he would be a martial arts student with a combat power value reaching the flesh realm, close to 120.0.
So the chance to escape is right in front of you.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lingfeng gradually calmed down. With his own strength, as long as he could withstand Shi Pijiang's attack, the people from the Martial Hall would block all the subsequent attacks for him, and he would be able to get away.
However, to release the power of spearmanship, one needs a qualified and handy spear. If you are unarmed, even if you are only facing one wave of attacks, your life will be in danger if you are not careful.
After all, the combat power value of 118.7 mainly comes from skills. If a skill cannot be used, it would be difficult to withstand a wave of attacks from the leatherworker with just the physical fitness of 25.2.
Zhang Lingfeng wanted to survive and also wanted to escape safely.
Fortunately, the restaurant is fully equipped and built strictly in accordance with the safety standards set by the Seven Star System Alliance. There are not only fire extinguishers on the walls, but also knives, guns, sticks and halberds.
This is to prevent alien invasions from happening, where humans would be instantly devoured by aliens because they have no suitable weapons. Therefore, after the construction and opening of major shopping malls, restaurants and other public places, they must comply with regulations and adopt corresponding weapons, like fire extinguishers, and place them in the most conspicuous places.
Once aliens invade, humans can quickly enter combat status and reduce casualties.
There was a spear hanging on the wall right next to Zhang Lingfeng's dining table, and Zhang Lingfeng could reach it within reach.
He chose to sit in this position just now out of physical instinct, and he couldn't help but find a safer area for himself.
This is also a habit that everyone in this world has been following since childhood.
Of course, the location where the leatherworker is located is also a relatively safe place, where he can attack or defend.
He originally wanted to escape through the window.
But the appearance of the shadow forced him to change his plan. He could not confront the shadow head-on. Now, if he wanted to survive, holding Zhang Lingfeng hostage was a crucial step.
It's not easy to expect the martial arts hall staff to let him go just by relying on the life of a martial arts student.
After thinking hard about this, the cobbler came up with a stupid idea.
The most valuable thing he has now is the weak mental power that has just been awakened after opening his sea of consciousness. If he can add a martial artist's life to this ability, perhaps the Seven Star Alliance will give him a chance to reform.
Of course, the prerequisite is that he must not only be able to defeat Zhang Lingfeng, but also let the three martial arts hall personnel feel his mental fluctuations, especially the shadow.
Only then will they be afraid.
then.
Shi the cobbler tried his best to release his mental power, and that mental power, like a steel needle, pierced into the minds of the three martial arts hall members.
And covered the shadow.
At the same time, he quickly grabbed Zhang Lingfeng.
He didn't dare delay any longer.
He knew that the Martial Hall and many departments had many powerful weapons that could instantly lock onto his figure and shoot him to death at a speed that made it impossible for him to react.
So this process seemed to take a long time, but in fact, from the time he discovered the danger and called out to Zhang Lingfeng to now when he took action, he had only taken a few bites of the noodles in the bowl.
Similarly, Zhang Lingfeng just picked up the chopsticks and took two mouthfuls of noodles.
He was nervous and focused, and the moment the leatherworker took action, he grabbed the gun on the wall as quickly as possible.
With a move of wind sweeping the lotus leaf, he turned around and stabbed the leather worker in the throat with a quick gun.
(This chapter contains important information and is not just for padding. I hope you can understand it and follow the rhythm to appreciate Zhang Lingfeng becoming stronger step by step. I would like to thank Le Le'er. The author will work hard to update more. I will continue to write for the reward from Yanqi and the other two.)
