Chapter 94 The Phantom King’s Proposal (2 updates)
The equipment Jiang Chen chose was very simple.
A third-level force sword, a third-level shield, and two third-level force weapons ‘Escape Sky Shuttle’.
Two ‘Escape Sky Shuttles’, one to support flight, and one to attack from a distance, plus a shield for defense and a sword to compensate for close combat, it is the simplest, but also the most complete configuration.
It's not that Jiang Chen doesn't want to choose a better weapon, but he hasn't studied it carefully.
The more powerful the weapon, the more time it takes to figure out how to use it.
A powerful mental weapon that has not been studied and used reluctantly will not be as effective as a weapon that is familiar but not that powerful.
——
On a desert, dozens of kilometers in front of Jiang Chen, densely packed figures appeared.
Tens of thousands of humans, like Jiang Chen, possessing third-level stellar force and telepathy, holding long swords and shields, formed a neat formation.
A huge countdown number appeared in the sky.
3, 2, 1!
The countdown reached zero, Jiang Chen and the tens of thousands of strong men in front started to move at the same time.
Domains exploded, and streams of light flew through the air.
Countless telepathy weapons attacked Jiang Chen.
Actuating the law of wind, Jiang Chen's entire body turned into a stream of light, drawing an amazing arc in the sky at an astonishing speed, bypassing the enemy's forward, and pounced on the flank of the opponent's formation.
Jiang Chen was extremely focused, completely abandoning the other characteristics of the wind law, and only pursued one word: fast!
With the blessing of the law of wind, Jiang Chen stepped on the Sky Shuttle and flew several times faster than the opponent's telepathy weapon.
The cyan streamer streaked across a rainbow in the sky, crossing a distance of tens of kilometers at an astonishing speed and appearing on the left side of the military formation.
“Swordfish Formation!”
Jiang Chen threw out the Sky-Escape Shuttle, and under the influence of his mind, the Sky-Escape Shuttle quickly formed into a swordfish-like shape and rushed into the military formation.
With Jiang Chen's control over the 'Dun Tiansuo', he could already activate the third form of the 'Dun Tiansuo', the 'Knife Formation'.
But do three things at once.
You have to pay attention to the enemy's long-range attacks, control the telekinesis weapons under your feet to fly and dodge, and attack the enemy. On the contrary, the second form of the 'Swordfish Formation' is more labor-saving and can last longer.
What's more, with the blessing of the law, the attack power of the 'Swordfish Formation' is completely sufficient to deal with these third-level stellar enemies.
The 'Swordfish' composed of 365 blades quickly shuttles among the crowd like a real living fish.
Every touch can easily take away an enemy's life.
Even the Nine Realms will collapse in front of the swordfish blessed with the power of law.
As for the third-level shield, with the speed of the swordfish, it is so fast that the enemy cannot react at all. It can easily bypass the shield's block and attack the enemy's fatal vitals.
However, Jiang Chen is not completely without pressure.
Although it has an advantage in speed, there are too many enemies.
The overwhelming telepathy weapons surrounded Jiang Chen from all angles, constantly compressing Jiang Chen's movement space, forcing Jiang Chen to constantly dodge and move around, and also look for gaps to break out of the siege of telepathy weapons to avoid being trapped and die in one place. .
Every attack poses a considerable threat to Jiang Chen.
It’s not just a telepathic weapon.
These enemies not only possess the spiritual power of the third level of a star, but also possess the force of the third level of a star.
In the setting of Killing Floor, they are equally good at long-range attacks and melee attacks.
There are even superficial soul attacks.
The only good news is that Jiang Chen's soul is strong enough. With the blessing of [Soul Sublimation], the third-level soul attack of the star poses no threat to Jiang Chen.
Otherwise, it would be too much pressure to dodge melee and long-range attacks while also being distracted by invisible and very insidious soul attacks.
But even if he can ignore the soul attack, Jiang Chen is still under great pressure.
The closer the distance is, the smaller the space for Jiang Chen to hide.
But if the distance is too far, Jiang Chen's long-range telekinesis attack will also drastically reduce the threat to the enemy, giving the enemy more reaction space to dodge or block.
Only when the distance is close enough, Jiang Chen can guarantee an instant kill of an enemy with one blow.
But every time you approach a large enemy force to attack, you run the risk of getting injured.
“I have plenty of force and telekinesis, so I don’t need to worry about running out of energy. My priority is to ensure that I don’t get hurt. If I’m not sure enough, I’d rather not take action!”
Jiang Chen was constantly analyzing the enemy's abilities in his mind.
Although you can get a rough estimate through levels, weapons, etc.
But more specific details still need to be judged based on performance in actual combat.
What’s more, although these ten thousand warriors are all ‘Ninth Level Domain’, the domain attributes they master are random.
Even in the same field, the focus is different. This leads to the fact that almost every individual has differences in speed, attack, defense and other details, and cannot be completely treated as a whole.
Fortunately, the stellar memory and information processing capabilities are extremely amazing.
In actual combat, remembering each person's strength, methods they are good at, etc., is one of the most basic requirements.
Although the pressure was so great that Jiang Chen had to be focused enough, he could still barely devote a little attention to observing and writing down the characteristics of each person.
As Jiang Chen becomes more and more familiar with the enemy's methods, he becomes more comfortable handling various complex situations.
Which attack focuses on speed, which attack is extremely powerful and must be completely avoided. A large amount of data will appear in Jiang Chen's mind, allowing Jiang Chen to quickly make the most accurate decision on the situation. judgment.
——
Offsite.
The Phantom King looked at Jiang Chen's performance and commented: "The combat skills are a bit rough, but among the stars, they are already pretty good. He can make the most of his own laws and try his best to bring out his strengths. , to avoid shortcomings, this idea is a bit mediocre, but it is effective. ”
After a pause, the Phantom King continued to comment on Jiang Chen's performance: "Looking at his performance, he understood the 'wind element', 'speed', and 'cutting' directions in the law of wind. Although every The understanding in one direction is very superficial, but again, it is very rare among the stars.”
Speaking, the Phantom King looked at Qiniya and smiled: "The little guy you discovered is indeed very good. The weapons and secret techniques used are all common goods that are easy to obtain. There are no other special methods. It seems that I really don’t have any background, I don’t have any guidance from a good teacher, I don’t have any good resources, I can understand it. Law. If you give him a good environment, it is indeed possible for him to soar into the sky." Qiniya said: "Master Phantom King, according to the information I have investigated, 'Erso' was born from a planet that was captured by the Space Adventure Team. The indigenous planet perished, and he himself became a slave, and it didn’t take long for him to regain his freedom.”
Seemingly thinking of something, Chinya added: "In the application I submitted to the alliance, there is detailed information about 'Ersso'."
"Oh? Born as a slave? "The Phantom King seemed to have some interest.
Although she was sent to preside over this assessment, with the Phantom King's strength and vision, how could she pay attention to the information of a star-level kid?
However, after seeing the other party's performance and hearing Qinya talk about it, the Phantom King did become slightly interested in 'Erso'.
With a flicker of consciousness, he pulled out the application report submitted by Qinya not long ago. After reading the information about 'Erso', the Phantom King couldn't help but nodded and said: "Being a slave, to be able to reach this point, your talent is indeed very evil. It's a pity that I only understand the law of wind. If I could understand a little bit of the 'law of time', or Maybe I can recommend him to the 'Unparalleled Secret Realm'."
"And this little guy has a strong will. Maybe he has the possibility of taking the 'Illusionist' route, which is worth my investigation. ”
The Phantom King’s words made Qinya’s eyes widen in surprise.
"Lord Phantom King, are you interested in accepting 'Erso' as a disciple?" Qinya asked in disbelief.
The Phantom King shook his head and said: "Although it is possible for him to take the route of an 'illusionist', it is only a possibility. If he is not suitable, I will naturally not accept a disciple."
Among the strong men of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, the Phantom King is considered a very special existence.
What other strong men value when accepting disciples is the compatibility of mind and nature, or the compatibility of laws and routes.
When the Phantom King accepts disciples, he does not value anything else but only whether they have a strong will and whether they are suitable for the route of 'Illusionist'.
Among the more active Feng Wang Wudi today, the Phantom King also has a relatively large number of disciples. In the past ten thousand years alone, he has recruited dozens of disciples.
However, most of them have died, and only 19 are still alive.
Although it seems that being a disciple of the Phantom King is very dangerous, the probability of death is very high.
But Qiniya knew very well what a great opportunity it was to be accepted as a disciple by the Phantom King.
Although the Phantom King also said that he would investigate to confirm whether 'Ersso's talent meets his requirements, this already means that this low-level genius who was discovered by himself and was born as a slave has obtained a company. A huge opportunity that I can hardly ask for.
Subconsciously, Qiniya looked at Jiang Chen who was fighting in the desert, thinking in her mind how she could get closer to him.
If the other party really becomes a disciple of the Phantom King, and has a close relationship, he and his family will also benefit greatly.
——
The fighting lasted for nearly an hour before it gradually came to an end.
For a stellar battle, this is already an extremely long time.
If two stellar powerhouses were to fight against each other normally, even if both sides were evenly matched, the winner would be decided in just a few minutes.
And if the strength gap is slightly larger, it won't even take a second.
In this battle, there were too many enemies. Jiang Chen was cautious and avoided all risks as much as possible. If he was not completely sure, he would rather give up the opportunity to attack and ensure that he would not be injured. This made the battle very slow. long.
After an hour of fighting, Jiang Chen's original power and telekinesis were consumed by less than half.
This is a very rare situation among stars.
Apprentice-level and planet-level warriors often fight to the point of exhaustion.
At the stellar level, this situation is very rare.
In most cases, it will be fatal within one or two moves, so the consumption is naturally small.
As the last enemy was killed under the attack of the 'Swordfish Formation', the barrier of the killing space dissipated, and the desert and the corpses in the desert disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to their original appearance.
Even the enemy's blood stains on Jiang Chen's body also disappeared.
"Lord Phantom King." Jiang Chen returned and saluted the Phantom King.
“You have passed the second test.”
The Phantom King looked at Jiang Chen and said softly: "Before starting the third test, I want to ask you if you are willing to accept another test from me?"
"Another test?" Jiang Chen was confused.
"Your will and talent are both good. I can give you a chance to become my disciple. But in my lineage, I only accept 'illusionists' among spiritual masters. Although you are a spiritual master, Master, but whether he has the talent for illusion is still unknown.”
The King of Phantoms. : "I can give you a set of secret techniques of the illusionist. If you can successfully practice within the specified time, you will be my registered disciple. In the future, when you gradually become familiar with the abilities of the illusionist, and then pass more stringent tests, There is also a chance to become my personal disciple.”
Disciple?
Illusionist secret method?
Jiang Chen did not expect that the Phantom King would suddenly come like this.
Jiang Chen doesn’t know much about the Phantom King. The little information he knows comes from the short plot about ‘Hong’’s love affair in the original work.
Only two pieces of information were revealed about the Phantom King himself.
1. The Phantom King is the soul master of the ‘Invincible King’. He is good at soul slavery and has many soul slaves under his command.
2. The Phantom King seems to have suffered some kind of emotional trauma and forbids his disciples from finding a spouse.
As for xinxing, preferences, and even the system of rules for cultivation, Jiang Chen knew nothing about it.
However, no matter whether the Phantom King is suitable for him or not, becoming a disciple of an invincible king can bring huge benefits to Jiang Chen.
This identity alone will give Jiang Chen a lot of convenience in his future development.
Just...
Does the Phantom King require you to be an illusionist?
This seems to conflict with Jiang Chen's plan for the future.
Jiang Chen doesn’t know whether he has talent in illusion, but Jiang Chen is very clear that his future route must be related to ‘technology’, rather than becoming an illusion master who plays with the soul.
However, Jiang Chen is also very interested in the illusionist's training system.
It wouldn’t be a bad thing if you could have a little understanding.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Chen asked: "May I ask, Lord Phantom King, if I worship you as my master, I will have to follow the path of an illusionist in the future, and can't I choose another system?"
"If you worship me As a teacher, I will only teach you the secret techniques of the illusionist. As for the warriors and controllers, if you are interested, I don't care about the secret techniques and resources. You have to get it yourself."
The Phantom King glanced at Jiang Chen and said calmly: "Not all of my disciples are illusionists, but how many resources and secrets can they get from me? I don’t look at strength, only at the achievement of illusion.”
