Chapter 55: Coming to Deceive and Ambush

By now, even a fool could see that these two were here to stir up trouble. Why don't you dare to go and fight Sister Wen?

Did anyone ask for my opinion?!

I am a pacifist, fighting is a no-no!

Mainly, in this kind of mess, there's no benefit whether you win or lose.

He wasn't afraid of losing; he was more afraid of what would happen if he won.

This grandson had a smile that hid a knife; his heart might be even smaller than his teacher's. If he won, who knows when he would hold a grudge... Of course, it's highly likely he would never need to hold a grudge again.

Straight into the dirt.

Since Ji Jue was ten years old, he had never held back when doing things. When he was young, it was one against many; when he grew up and had Lu Feng, it was two against many. He would use twelve percent of his strength even if he only had ten! Kicking the groin, stomping on feet, twisting fingers—he never hesitated.

If you tell him it's a life-or-death situation, he's not afraid, but if you talk about "stopping at a certain point," he starts to get scared.

Sorry, what is "stopping at a certain point"?

My dictionary doesn't have that!

"No, no, no, fighting and killing is so harmful to harmony."

At this moment, under everyone's gaze, Ji Jue forced a smile and waved his hand: "After all, swords have no eyes, it would be bad to cause trouble."

"Heh, the look of being arrogant has a bit of Master Ye's skill. Worthy of being a high disciple of the house." Kong Qingyan laughed, even the sarcasm sounded like praise: "Don't worry, we are not people who can't afford to lose. Instead of worrying about my Xiao Lou playing dirty, you should worry about yourself!"

Ji Jue didn't speak again.

He sighed.

He looked at Professor Ye.

Professor Ye remained calm, as if she could guess what he was thinking, just waving her hand: "If you want to fight, then fight. With two masters here, are you afraid of killing someone?

If you die, it's just poor skill, you can't blame others."

Ji Jue's eyebrows raised slightly.

Since you said so...

"Then I'm sorry."

He pressed the holster behind his back and smiled politely.

Two minutes later, in the spacious courtyard of the factory, it was still spotless.

?ttkΛn?￠o

Above the blue sky, there were no clouds for ten thousand miles, the scorching sun shone, a few birds chirped as they flew past, and everything became so fresh. On the distant road came the *put-put* sound like a tractor, traffic rushed past, and further away, the sound of the tide rose and echoed.

It was a good day for a fight.

"According to the standard duel method between Chosen Ones, there are no limits on the process, weapons, or methods. The first to admit defeat or lose the ability to continue is judged the loser."

Ye Xian stood with her hands behind her back in the shade under the eaves and announced: "You may begin."

Ji Jue and Lou Feng were already standing face to face, ten meters apart.

Unlike the gun Ji Jue displayed openly, Lou Feng still had his hands empty, in his pockets, wearing high-end custom clothing, his hair and leather shoes reflecting a waxy shimmer under the sun, looking simply priceless.

By comparison, Ji Jue could be said to be miserable.

A pair of sneakers worn for more than half a year, work pants, and a T-shirt—the whole outfit probably wasn't as expensive as one of the other's buttons, nakedly highlighting poverty.

Not to mention the rings on the other's fingers, the bracelet on his wrist, the necklace, and even the gold-rimmed glasses on his face—each one shimmered with the light of spiritual quality.

It's all equipment!

At this moment, hearing this, he just raised his hand to adjust his glasses, smiling gracefully: "Brother Ji, please enlighten me."

"Easy, easy..."

The moment Ji Jue's words hadn't finished, his pupils contracted.

*Bang!*

The emblem of the White Deer appeared on his legs for an instant, and his body moved several meters to the left without warning, the rubber soles of his sneakers rubbing against the ground, making a harsh sound.

The sudden dodge almost made him lose his footing!

And right where he had been, a shrill whistle came, and a line of white light flashed past, bringing a sharp wind, like a knife!

What was that?

An ambush?!

The moment he reacted, Ji Jue's last bit of interest in playing along with him completely disappeared: Why is this grandson so damn shady?!

If it weren't for the intelligence reminder Ye Chun sent to his phone just now, plus Old Zhang's terrifying training yesterday, he probably would have knelt down right there.

The Lou clan of Chaocheng had a special heritage. Except for a small number of self-awakened ones, generations of Chosen Ones used the same Heavenly Craft to hold the upper-level summoning. Therefore, the awakened abilities were fixed, just with differences in strength or weakness.

——Spiritual Quality Shaping!

As the name suggests, his ability could shape his own spiritual quality into various forms at will, flowing freely between liquid, solid, and gaseous states, unpredictable.

Possessing such an ability, Chosen Ones of the Lou clan would often invest in the Transformation lineage to continue digging into its potential, or invest in the Entropy lineage to enhance its power and destructiveness.

But it also had unique uses when applied to the Ember lineage; he could directly apply alchemy operations to his own spiritual quality, achieving qualitative change and higher controllability.

And the matrix inherited by Kong Qingyan was called [Good Craft], which could maximize the alchemical speed of the craftsman; the two were simply complementary.

In other words, Lou Feng was already carrying countless invisible weapons with him!

Damn it, someone who had already changed jobs coming to bully a blank newbie like me... Do you have no shame?!

Likewise, on the opposite side, seeing that his long-planned strike had missed, Lou Feng was also stunned for a moment. But what was surprising wasn't just that the strike missed, but... he was even more confused by Ji Jue's way of dealing with it?

His eyes changed from vigilance to suspicion, then to realization, just saying indifferently: "Sorry, it seems I misunderstood."

You beast, what the hell did you misunderstand?

Without thinking, Ji Jue raised his hand and pulled the trigger.

Crisp shattering sounds continued to ring out from the void. Right in front of Lou Feng, spiritual quality flowed, quickly turning into a huge shield. And it didn't seem to be just one layer; it seemed that after special training, besides the hardened part on the outside, there seemed to be several layers of liquid spiritual quality separated inside. One could see the bullets penetrating into it slowly rotating, finally being drained of force layer by layer, and falling uselessly.

It seems that blocking bullets with ability is also a basic skill of the Lou family.

At the same time, a whistle sounded by Ji Jue's ear again.

The flash of spiritual quality appeared, like a hammer, the sharp edges mercilessly penetrating toward his forehead. In the end, it missed by a hair's breadth, smashing into the ground and cracking it!

Ji Jue had long since dodged.

Easy and relaxed.

Not to belittle him, this level of attack isn't even worthy of tying Old Zhang's shoes!

If it weren't for the spiritual quality defense and offense training class yesterday, he probably would have only been able to roll on the ground like a lazy donkey... Thank you, Old Zhang. When I have money, I will definitely get a gold card at your massage shop!

"The physical property change and the Goodness enhancement are used quite skillfully. It's clear you've practiced a lot." In the distance, Kong Qingyan, who was watching with her hands behind her back, glanced at Professor Ye: "But you actually didn't teach him the Disassociation Technique?"

Ye Xian was silent, as if she hadn't heard.

She didn't pay any attention to her probing at all.

Instead, she wanted to sneer. This was really coming prepared, specifically guarding against this move, right?

As for physical property change and Goodness enhancement... that's ridiculous. How many days has Ji Jue been in class? Besides laying the foundation, she hadn't even had time to teach him such applied courses!

Her fingers behind her back twitched slightly.

Before the day before yesterday, he didn't know anything at all, but now he could do it with a thought, and even the pre-swing was gone?

...In other words, such an exaggerated proficiency was learned on the spot yesterday at the Security Bureau?

But now, even using the techniques of physical property enhancement and Goodness enhancement, Ji Jue was still being beaten one-sidedly, unable to counterattack, and instead seemed to be being toyed with.

His temper grew.

If I had a shotgun with slugs here, would it still be like this?

Since that's the case, I won't pretend to be a gentleman either...

After grabbing a gap and emptying a magazine at Lou Feng, Ji Jue suddenly widened his eyes and shouted: "Brother Lou, watch out behind you."

"..."

For a moment, even Lou Feng was stunned. No, it should be shocked.

Shocked at why his opponent would use such a kindergarten trick!

And why he would think he would believe it?

Are you kidding me!

Am I the kind of fool who would look back—

"——BEEP!!!!"

At that moment, a deafening roar that seemed to come from fate added the final syllable for him.

Close at hand!

A thick, hideous shadow descended from the sky, projecting onto that stunned face, turning into a miserable and ridiculous pattern.

The next moment, the brand-new tire Ji Jue had just changed yesterday had already crushed onto Lou Feng's face amidst a loud noise. As the tire spun, the little cow-horse roared.

Crush!

The spiritual quality defense shattered in response, and immediately after, a tire print stained with mud and dust was already firmly printed on his face.

Lou Feng fell backward in the impact, his necklace suddenly lit up, and a terrifying repulsive force erupted, instantly bouncing the little cow-horse away.

And in mid-air, the little cow-horse did a flexible roll. After landing on two wheels, it returned to Ji Jue's side like a hunting dog, enjoying the petting and praise from its master.

Ji Jue mocked with a sigh.

I'm joking with you, why are you putting on such a face with me?

"As everyone knows, my ability is to control tools. So, it's normal to carry a small motorcycle with me, right?" Facing Lou Feng's glare, Ji Jue explained indifferently.

Lou Feng's expression was gloomy. Under the protection of layers of hardened spiritual quality, he slowly wiped the mud and dust off his face.

When he looked at the little scooter twitching beside Ji Jue, he became even more vigilant.

But the attack was still merciless!

Thinking that you can bluff people by taking a semi-finished product from your teacher?

Dream on!

At this moment, Kong Qingyan outside the field also fell into silence. She wouldn't be like Lou Feng, thinking that Ji Jue was using Ye Xian's things to bluff.

Any qualified craftsman could see how rough and chaotic it was.

Three of the four major elements were denied first!

Just kidding, such a messy, chaotic thing—proud as Ye Xian was, she would probably rather hang herself than make such a ghost thing!

Then who is it?

That little brat named Ji Jue?!

Her long, narrow eyes instantly looked at Ji Jue, feeling the spiritual resonance between him and the little cow-horse, as well as the little cow-horse's agile reaction, almost unable to suppress the jealousy and hatred in her eyes.

He has only been an apprentice for half a year, right? At most a year! And he already completed a creation of such specifications?!

Do I have to be suppressed by this dead woman Ye Xian in everything?!

"What are you still dawdling for, A-Feng."

Kong Qingyan scolded: "Is this how I taught you!"

Lou Feng was silent, saying nothing.

Only his complexion changed suddenly, pale as paper—but the fluctuation of spiritual quality soared instantly, accompanied by the outflow of runes and spiritual circuits. Under the blessing of Good Craft, the specialized application of the Goodness emblem was completed in an instant.

Even its complexity was a step higher than Ji Jue's!

——[Tian Yuan]!

Just like that, reaching out and grabbing—at that moment, Ji Jue only felt his body lighten, staggering, almost slipping!

He felt a huge force coming from where Lou Feng was, pulling him!

The effect developed from Tian Yuan.

——Gravity!

Damn it, I didn't pay attention when I was writing, and only then did I realize that Lou Feng's original name clashed with important characters in other books. Honestly, I've been vomiting and having diarrhea from being stuck for the past two days, and I really didn't notice. Please don't misunderstand. I just joined the Sichuan Online Writers Association, and if I offend the chairman, my dog head will be blown off (ORZ
