Chapter 19 Are we okay? Of course!
Chapter 19 Are we okay? Of course!
In this extraordinary era, schools have always been synonymous with safety.
There's no need for guards at all. With top-tier A-level experts in charge, anyone who tries to cause chaos at the school will be instantly suppressed.
The school is more concerned with disciplining its students than with external attacks.
These extraordinary individuals, in the prime of their youth, are far too prone to causing trouble.
Until today.
The school finally began to regret not having prepared a security team in advance.
Once Principal Zhong, the pillar of stability, is restrained, the entire campus is like a sheepfold with its fences broken, exposed naked to the hungry wolves—
Although the teachers are also extraordinary beings, some of them are of a high rank.
But they were, after all, just teachers, not soldiers.
He usually teaches students and has never experienced any combat.
Faced with these thugs who were unleashing their power at will, they were almost instantly at a disadvantage.
Just like Wei Sheng, who originally wanted to rush to the teaching building with Jiang He and Chi Zhilei to treat the students injured when the building collapsed and assist in the evacuation of people.
As soon as they got to the teaching building, things started to spiral out of control.
Leaving aside the chaotic battlefield, the mere presence of the "Phantoms" lurking around the teaching building was enough to keep him busy.
He was clearly a peak D-level superhuman with a D-level talent called [Beast Transformation], which allowed him to transform into a beastman-like state, greatly enhancing his physical strength and speed.
At this moment, however, he was entangled by several phantoms whose actual energy level was only at the peak of E-level, barely managing to protect Jiang He behind him while enduring continuous attacks.
Fortunately, Chi Zhilei also possessed strength approaching D-level, enabling her to handle the phantom attacks on her own. She could also release healing energy to stop his bleeding and accelerate his recovery, which was how she managed to barely withstand the onslaught.
At this moment, he blocked the phantom and said nervously, "Jiang He, Chi Zhilei..."
He glanced in the direction of the elite class, saw the collapsed building that had been smashed to pieces, and continued, "You can't stay at the school anymore, I'll send you out."
“No,” Jiang He said. “These thugs who attacked the school won’t let us leave just like that… The area around the school is probably already sealed off. Running out rashly would be even more dangerous.”
Jiang He did not tell the truth.
According to the intelligence he learned from Baihe, the school had already been sealed off by the attacker's ability at the same time the Arc Light organization launched its attack.
Unless one possesses Class B destructive power, it is impossible to leave the school grounds.
“We can’t stay here.” Wei Sheng swung his fist, shattering a phantom, only to watch it reform, a chill running down his spine. “I’ll take you to a safe place first…”
"There is no safe place anymore."
Jiang He adjusted his position and hid behind Wei Sheng: "Teacher Wei, only by dealing with these attackers can we get down safely!"
"..." Wei Sheng's lips twitched.
How come he never noticed before that Jiang He was so good at arguing?
Doesn't he know these things?
The problem is, there's no way to solve it!
Even Principal Zhong, who was ranked A, encountered a tough battle, and her star student, Du Lingwei, was also besieged...
What can these low-level teachers, who are not good at fighting, do?
Moreover, even if Jiang He possesses an S-level talent for using words, he has only been awakened for a little over a day, and his extraordinary energy level has only broken through to F level.
When faced with an enemy, you can only hide behind your teacher and don't even have the ability to confront them head-on. Where do you get the courage to speak so loudly?
Ok……
In fact, Jiang He didn't have much courage.
Ultimately, he was just a high school student who had just turned eighteen, and he was no different from the panicked students in the school building.
He had never experienced combat or witnessed any bloodshed.
Just looking at the students' mangled bodies from afar made me feel nauseous and want to vomit.
If it were a few days ago, he would have been terrified by such a terrorist attack and would have immediately chosen to hide.
but--
Knowing in advance that an attack would occur lessened his fear.
Even the most terrifying scenarios can be mitigated by preparing mentally beforehand.
Secondly, the scene of the building collapsing and the screams and cries also awakened his memories.
The scene of his parents being hit by a falling boulder right in front of him during the battle between two superhumans a few years ago, which caused the building to collapse, seemed to reappear before his eyes.
Ask yourself.
Now he can be afraid, he can hide, he can run away.
But can he keep running away and avoiding combat indefinitely?
If fear is allowed to take hold of the mind, then the "future" that the white crane experiences will be his "endgame".
It was through understanding these things that Jiang He gained "courage".
of course.
In battles of this caliber, having "courage" without "strength" is meaningless.
Therefore, Bai He made ample preparations for Jiang He.
1. Advanced skills for students' professions: [Athletic Cells lv3] and 20 points of physical strength.
Just like how ordinary people can't keep up with cars and high-speed trains at all, but can still barely make out their movement patterns.
While this level of physical strength wouldn't allow Jiang He to directly confront stronger superhumans, it would allow him to barely discern their actions.
This is enough.
Second: S-rank talent Word of Power, and the incantation "Monarch's Flame".
The talent rating of extraordinary individuals not only represents the practicality of their talents, but also symbolizes the strength of the talents themselves.
Just like the same fire manipulation talent, S-level fire manipulation can unleash raging flames, while F-level fire manipulation can only light a match.
As an S-rank talent, the Word Spirit talent amplifies Jiang He's mental strength, granting him power beyond his energy level.
In conjunction with the third item—
intelligence.
Jiang He knew the attacker's talent, level, and even weaknesses.
With so many factors combined, he also gained the ability to participate in and even control the battle!
The foundation has been laid; now it's up to us to make the most of it.
The white crane had gone to the rooftop sometime earlier.
He sat on the high-rise building, his gaze sweeping over Jiang He below before landing on Du Lingwei, who was being besieged.
'At least this time... I won't just be hiding in a corner.'
……
The scene shifts back to downstairs.
Jiang He sensed Wei Sheng's thoughts from his silence.
This is normal; his extraordinary energy level is only F-level, which is much lower than Wei Sheng's.
In battle, strength equals power. Even if Wei Sheng believes in his future, he can't possibly listen to this "weakling" now.
However, Jiang He couldn't abandon Wei Sheng and go it alone—
He's currently essentially a squishy mage; he has damage output, but he's very fragile.
Only by gaining Wei Sheng's trust can we deal with, or even eliminate, the attackers!
“Teacher Wei, these shadows come from the C-level talent [Phantom], which can regenerate infinitely. Only by eliminating the main body can we completely destroy them…”
Jiang He tried to be concise: "I've read the talent encyclopedia many times. The shadow strength of the Phantom talent is one energy level lower than the main body... and the more shadows the main body releases, the more the main body's strength will be dispersed and weakened."
"These shadows are at the peak of E-rank, but their true strength is probably only at the entry level of D-rank."
"Once you find the real body, you can defeat it!"
Jiang He's words were insightful, and Wei Sheng naturally couldn't ignore them.
He stepped in front of Jiang He, shattering an attacking shadow, and said helplessly, "I know, but I can't find it."
Chi Zhilei controlled the flames, creating a ring of fire around herself. Whenever a shadow touched the fire, she would immediately manipulate the flames to repel it.
Hearing Jiang He's words, she tilted her head slightly: "You can?"
"I can."
Jiang He said directly, "A D-level Phantom Talent user's shadow has a very limited range of movement; its distance won't be too far."
"Secondly, for a Phantom Talent to reshape their shadow, the shadow must be within their 'field of vision.'"
"So, he's watching us right now." "I'll grant you the ability to see through illusions in a moment—"
Having said that, the two understood his plan.
Wei Sheng remained silent for a moment.
He had just thought that finding a place to hide was the best option, but now he was having second thoughts.
Jiang He's plan was not something he came up with on a whim; it seemed to have been carefully considered and was quite feasible.
As his teacher, he was aware of much of the talent information, but he just couldn't recall it at the moment.
Now, reminded by Jiang He, he also felt that as long as he possessed the ability to see through invisibility, he could find his enemy and defeat them when they were weakened.
Even if he's not good at fighting, he could easily do something like this, right?
As for whether Jiang He can grant him this ability...
Is S-rank Word Magic Talent a joke?
Perhaps... it really can work?
"I understand." Chi Zhilei nodded vigorously. "Even if it's only for a few seconds, as long as the location is confirmed, I can provide a scent marker... Please!"
"..." Since both students said so, Wei Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's fight!"
Having finally gained their trust, Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not rush to use the power of words.
While I've made it sound easy, the scope of "vision" is actually quite broad.
In order to conserve mental energy, and also to narrow down the scope.
He took a deep breath—
It seems like she's calming herself down, but actually she's sensing the "wind" around her.
From the moment the Arc Light organization launched its attack, the wind carried with it a variety of auras, including "deadly," "bloody," and "explosive," as if it were their language, constantly conveying information.
At this moment, Jiang He tried to actively trigger the [All-Spirit Language Sense] specialization and attempted to understand the meaning of the wind.
In an instant, he sensed all sorts of information from the wind blowing from afar: "battle," "death," "killing intent"...
This complex information, coming from different directions, filled his mind and was not easy to understand.
However, Jiang He doesn't need a very clear understanding.
In a direction indicated by the wind, he sensed a similar aura of life and killing intent to that of the square. He scanned the area but saw no one.
The answer seems obvious.
He moved swiftly, leaping onto Wei Sheng's back, grabbing the hair growing on his neck, and quickly exclaimed, "Over at the cafeteria!"
After saying this, he looked at Wei Sheng and Chi Zhilei and said...
"see through"
Using the power of words to influence extraordinary targets whose energy level is far higher than one's own consumes a great deal of mental energy.
Jiang He felt his mental energy was significantly depleted after only two seconds of applying the effect.
Of course, that's enough.
As soon as the words were spoken, a faint white light shone in Wei Sheng and Chi Zhilei's eyes.
They looked in that direction and saw a masked person wearing a cloak standing under the shade of a tree by the roadside in the direction of the cafeteria. The person's figure was in a semi-illusory state—invisible!
Without hesitation, Chi Zhilei activated her Fragrant Body, and an irresistible fragrance traveled across the distance to land on the phantom.
Wei Sheng ignored the surrounding phantoms, his body suddenly swelled up, and he leaped high into the air like a cannonball, stretching out two huge hairy hands to pounce on the phantom.
At this moment, the Phantom Man's attention was still scattered across the battlefield, constantly reviving phantoms.
By the time he noticed a giant humanoid beast lunging at him, it was already too late.
At that moment, Jiang He, who was lying on top of Wei Sheng, pointed his finger at him and shouted loudly—
"Certainly"!
The extremely pure supernatural power twisted his will, preventing him from dodging and forcibly freezing him in place.
Even if this process takes less than a second, it is enough.
Wei Sheng landed on him, stomped him into the ground, and raised his hands high!
Bang bang bang bang! !
A barrage of merciless punches rained down upon him!
As a peak D-level superhuman, Wei Sheng also utilized the physical amplification of his [Beast Transformation] talent, making his strength surpass that of the Phantom Man.
Under relentless attacks, he was hammered until his body was twisted, bones were broken, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
In just a few seconds, it was driven into the ground and turned into a puddle of mud!
The Phantom Man can no longer rise.
When Wei Sheng stopped moving his hands, the hundreds of phantoms surrounding the teaching building all froze and quietly disappeared.
The fighting pressure on the other side of the teaching building also decreased sharply.
The school teachers were already weaker than the attackers, and during the fight, they also had to guard against sneak attacks from phantoms, making the battle very difficult.
Now that these phantoms are no longer a hindrance, the pressure has finally lessened somewhat.
The students who had been trapped inside the building by the phantoms finally had the opportunity to evacuate the teaching building and get away from the battlefield.
After all, the teaching building was destroyed in the first place, and it was only thanks to supernatural power that it did not completely collapse.
If we wait any longer, the students might all be buried inside.
"Finally, a troublesome enemy has been dealt with..."
Wei Sheng raised his large, hairy hand, wiped the blood off his glasses, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, Chi Zhilei's voice came from afar: "Watch out!!"
A phantom figure silently appeared beside Wei Sheng, raising a black shadow blade and slashing it towards Jiang He on his back—
Inside the pit, on a patch of mud that was barely recognizable as human, a venomous eyeball stared upwards.
Even with his last breath, the Phantom Man was determined to kill the guy who gave him no way to escape!
This moment.
The emperor's voice rang out.
"Junyan"
boom! ! ! !
Scorching and oppressive flames emerged from the crater, expanded, and exploded!
The phantom holding the shadow blade paused for a moment, then dissipated with the flames.
Wei Sheng, who was standing at the edge of the crater, was also blasted away by the aftershocks of the explosion and rolled several times on the ground.
He got up from the ground, covered in dust, and stared in astonishment at the boy who had jumped off his back.
Jiang He felt helpless.
"Teacher Wei, don't forget to finish him off!"
As an assassin-type class, the Phantom has considerable physical strength and resilience, making it difficult for them to die completely.
Wei Sheng realized what had happened and awkwardly pushed up his glasses, saying, "Sorry."
Jiang He: "It's okay, just be more careful next time."
Wei Sheng was stunned: "Next time?"
“Of course.” Jiang He walked to Wei Sheng’s side, jumped up, and rode on his back: “Teacher Wei, the attackers have reacted and are trying to stop the students from evacuating. Let’s hurry and save them!”
"..."
Are you treating me like a mount?
Wei Sheng's eyelids twitched slightly; he found it difficult to refuse for a moment.
After all, he had just dealt with the troublesome phantom attackers under Jiang He's command.
Moreover, with Jiang He providing control, he was indeed able to better unleash his own power.
Therefore, he hesitated for a moment, tacitly approved of Jiang He's actions, and strode towards the battlefield.
"it is good!"
Jiang He rode on Wei Sheng's back, feeling the oncoming gale, and was momentarily excited.
Is this what battle feels like?
He pointed to an enemy in the distance and shouted excitedly.
"Wei Shengshou, let's go!"
Wei Sheng: "?"
Chi Zhilei: "?"
