Chapter 193 The Hunt! The Hunter!
the next day, early morning

Ye Mingqiu arrived at the city center's security department, his figure and face altered under the cover of the [Riddle Veil], concealing his original identity.

In the upcoming battle, he might have to use the power of the [God] trait because the enemy is too strong. This trait is too precious, and Ye Mingqiu does not want to get into trouble because of it. Hiding his identity is the best choice.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

The front desk staff of the Public Security Department asked with a formulaic smile.

"Are there hunters on patrol to hunt down wanted criminals?"

Ye Mingqiu asked.

Hunters are people who are specifically responsible for tracking during a hunt. They are generally not strong in combat, and their abilities are completely specialized in tracking, giving them quite good hunting skills.

The trade-off is that their strength ceiling is relatively low. With their abilities specializing in tracking, it is difficult for them to break through to the third tier. Exploring the spirit world is also relatively difficult for them, as they rely heavily on the strength of their teammates and find it hard to improve to a high level on their own.

But this is no problem for them, because it is very difficult for ordinary psionicists to break through to the third tier anyway. The vast majority of psionicists in this world are elite-level, and there are not many lord-level psionicists above elite-level, hero-level psionicists are one in a hundred, and legendary-level psionicists are extremely rare.

Elite-level psionicists, if they cannot break through to the Lord level, basically have no hope of breaking through to the third tier, and will stagnate sooner or later.

Therefore, learning a skill in advance and supporting yourself with it might even allow you to indirectly break through your limits by accumulating resources. Even if you fail, you won't end up too badly; you can simply continue working.

"Yes, I do. What's your target level? Let me take a look."

"Second tier, below level 5, hero-level."

Ye Mingqiu replied.

"Hero-level?"

The staff looked slightly surprised.

It's important to know that Hero-level is the highest-ranking psionic user on the wanted list, and those capable of hunting down Hero-level psionic users are likely to be extremely strong themselves, certainly worthy of respect.

However, the staff did not make the arrangements directly, but instead asked with a smile, "May I use the combat capability detection device?"

"Ok?"

"Sir, please rest assured that the combat power detection device will not pry into your privacy. It will only convert your strength into a combat power level through spiritual world certification, so it is relatively safe."

The staff member paused for a moment, then continued, "However, the combat strength test requires a lot of psionic points. You will need to pay a test fee of 10 psionic points. If you are unwilling to pay, we will not be able to help you find a hunter, since hunters also need the support of strong teammates."

"Understood, proceed with the testing."

Ye Mingqiu nodded in agreement and readily paid.

After receiving payment, the staff member's face instantly lit up with a bright smile. She took out a black jade stone and used it to communicate with the spirit world to conduct a relatively formal and official combat power test.

Soon, white characters appeared on the black jade, clearly depicting the number 20.

"Combat strength 20 points?"

Ye Mingqiu frowned slightly. He didn't understand what this combat strength meant; he just felt that the number was a little low.

He guessed that it might be because this was a second-tier strength testing device, while he was only a first-tier psionicist, so the coefficient given for the strength test value was relatively low. But if that was the case, then the device was probably inaccurate.

Looking at the staff member whose expression was frozen, Ye Mingqiu couldn't help but think to himself: Could it be that the combat strength assessment thinks my strength is insufficient and I cannot match the Hunter?

It seems things might get a little complicated next.
"Sorry"

"Ah."

"I was momentarily stunned. Your strength is quite formidable, and you are highly regarded in the Spirit Realm. We can assign you a dedicated hunter here," the staff member said nervously.

"That's good."

Ye Mingqiu raised an eyebrow slightly.

It seems that the 20 in the combat capability test is slightly more valuable than he imagined.

While operating the computer to match hunters, the staff member said with a smile, "There aren't many psionicists as steady as you."

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu's expression remained unchanged, and he probably understood the significance of 20.

Judging from the appearance, a combat power of 20 should be stronger than a Tier 2 Level 5 Hero-level Psionicist, and most likely much stronger, otherwise the staff member would not have spoken like that.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Spirit Realm combat power test should include the [Divine Majesty] trait of the [Lord of Light and Shadow] in the combat power calculation. Once the trait is triggered, any non-legendary-level psionicist will be in serious trouble.

Whether a Tier 2, Level 10 Hero-level Psionicist could defeat Ye Mingqiu under the suppression of divine majesty is a serious question.

After all, since the divine majesty hasn't been depleted, it's impossible not to include this passive ability in combat power.

The will of the spirit world isn't stupid.

During the brief wait, Ye Mingqiu subconsciously pondered how to maximize the use of the Heavenly Authority. Although this authority was quite good, it was also very difficult to use it well. After all, he had not learned any abilities related to the sun and moon, and at most he had learned some light and dark attribute spells.

Well.
It seems like it needs to be developed, and it will also take time.
Why not try it out in real combat?

The power of heaven is, after all, a power. Even if it is not well developed, it will likely still have a considerable effect, since it is similar to divine power and demonic power, and its basic strength is high.

Unfortunately, Ye Mingqiu only obtained a small amount of Heavenly Authority, which is a bit of a pity.

The Authority of Heaven, more accurately, should be the Authority of the Sky, which grants the user the ability to control the sky, possessing abilities related to weather and space. Flight is also one of the basic abilities of the Authority of Heaven, but it is different from the flight of the Skywalking Technique, belonging to two different types of flight abilities.

Therefore, the two can be combined to make the flight faster and more effective. Skillful use of the power of heaven is also very important.

We need to slaughter more powerful overlords!
Collect more power!
Ye Mingqiu thought to himself.

"Sir, we have found a suitable hunter. Please register a code name or username here," the staff member said with a smile.

"A code name or a name?"

Ye Mingqiu thought for a moment and replied, "Then let's call her Ye Zhaoxia."

"Ok."

The staff member then entered the name, uploaded the registration to the official backend, and said with a smile, "The hunter codenamed 'Eye of Flame' that you have been matched with is on its way and will arrive here in about five minutes."

"Before that, you can take a look at our wanted list, or we can discuss it together after they arrive and decide which wanted criminals to hunt down. If you want to wait, you can go to the bench over there."

"it is good."

Ye Mingqiu walked to the bench, turned on his communicator, and checked the police's wanted poster website. Looking at the rows and rows of wanted posters, he couldn't help but feel emotional.

Are there really so many wanted psychics?

With so many psionicists on the run, ordinary people's lives remain safe. In fact, I hadn't even realized there were so many wanted criminals before this; the official governance is truly impressive. [Blackfly, Tier 2, Level 1, Lord-level, previously murdered several teammates in the Spirit Realm, returned to the mortal world to sell the stolen goods, was discovered, and then killed six ordinary people before escaping.]

[Blood Tiger, Tier 2, Level 6, Lord-level, once discovered an artifact of an evil god in the spirit world and used it in the mortal realm, causing the deaths of many ordinary people.]

【Henry.】

There are quite a few wanted posters, but the vast majority of psionicists are lords, a small number are elites, and the proportion of heroes is actually not that high.

After all, being a hero-level psionicist is already quite good in this world. As long as nothing unexpected happens, they can generally do very well. There is no need for them to do illegal things for resources or benefits. Hero-level psionicists who are wanted are basically not normal people.

A crisp sound of the door being pushed open rang out, and Ye Mingqiu subconsciously looked towards the doorway. A tall woman wearing a white shirt and sunglasses walked into the hall, glanced around, and asked, "Who is Mr. Ye?"

"I."

Ye Mingqiu stood up, walked up to the Eye of Flame, and said, "When are you free?"

“I finish get off work promptly at 11:00 AM every day after 8:00 AM. I take a nap at noon and start work again at 2:00 PM. I can work overtime until 11:00 PM at the latest, but I will be paid overtime,” said the Eye of Flame.

"it is good."

Ye Mingqiu nodded and asked, "Are you familiar with the psionicists on the wanted poster?"

“It’s related to my work, so I’m naturally familiar with it. However, the wanted posters are updated very quickly, so I need to check them every two hours, otherwise it’s easy to fall behind,” Flame Eye replied.

"I want to hunt down Heroic-level Psionicists below Tier 2 Level 5. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Have."

Flamelight Eyes said directly: "Red Earth, a Tier 2 Level 2 Hero-level Psionicist, a tank, who is also good at using earth-attribute power, has a bloodline, low spirit, and is relatively easy to hunt."

"Then it's him."

"Um"

Flamelight Eyes spoke lazily, slowly raising her sunglasses to reveal eyes with heavy black circles beneath. Her golden vertical pupils shone with a faint light as she smiled and said, "I like decisive people like you. My work should be much easier from now on."

"Are there still those who are indecisive?"

"Of course, some people are less capable, so they are picky when choosing their targets."

Flamelight Eye sighed, put on his sunglasses, and continued, "Of course, that's not the worst thing. The worst thing is that some people are weak, but they still want to ambush and hunt down strong people, trying to take a gamble and see if they can rise to the top. But most of these people are dead."

"Too risky."

"Indeed, but if they don't take the risk, they'll probably live their lives like this forever. Although it's risky, it's a decision they've made after careful consideration. After experiencing the colorful world, few people are willing to admit their ordinariness."

The Eye of Flame lowered its head slightly and murmured softly, "They always think they're the protagonist, but that's normal. When I first entered the Spirit Realm, I had the same thought. I thought I would become a great person, but now I'm living like this."

Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible, but she quickly gave an apologetic smile and continued, "Sorry, sorry, I started complaining without thinking. Let's get back to preparing for the hunt."

"Okay, just take me there."

Ye Mingqiu said.

"No problem, come with me."

The Eye of Flame led him outside, where a black sedan was parked.

The car looked quite luxurious; it was a top brand in the ordinary world, called Yubach. This brand once made an advertisement about a car crashing into and killing a god, so it has quite a good reputation.

"So high-profile? Is that alright?"

After getting into the car, Ye Mingqiu asked curiously.

"Personal hobby".

Flamelight Eye fastened his seatbelt and started the car while saying, "Anyway, these are just ordinary people's gadgets, they won't cost much. Other psionicists won't care much either, since I'm just an ordinary working person, only responsible for getting you there."

"Yes, it's good that we don't bother each other."

Ye Mingqiu expressed his satisfaction. He didn't want to be distracted by protecting others during the battle. A partner as self-aware as Flamelight Eye would make the cooperation much easier.

"You're a really nice person."

The Eye of Flame also sighed, saying, "You probably don't know this, but although we Hunters aren't good at fighting and generally don't go to the front lines, some people always find ways to squeeze every last drop of value out of us, making us do all sorts of dirty, tiring, and troublesome work."

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu responded, his fingertips swirling with different elements.

Those are not elements driven by magic, but elements driven by authority: lightning, wind, water, clouds, sunlight, and darkness—these are all elements that the authority of heaven can control.

Of these elements, Ye Mingqiu is currently most proficient in using the dark element. If he uses the power of the Heavenly Authority to drive the power of the Demon Abyss and transform the surrounding celestial phenomena into darkness, would that produce a fairly good effect?

it should be OK
For specific methods of driving the spell, you can directly refer to the Dark Descent in the Demon Codex, copying and modifying it to create a new ability.

Using the authority of Heaven to assist the power of the Abyss, the dark power erupts at a faster pace, thereby creating a unique dark domain, which Ye Mingqiu named:

Mahakala

The theoretical foundation is complete. Now he needs a target to test the effectiveness of the Great Black Heaven in actual combat and whether it is up to the task.

In Ye Mingqiu's basic conception, the Great Black Heaven can greatly limit the opponent's visual perception, and the domain of the Demon Abyss Power will continuously absorb and suppress the opponent's energy.

However, in order to achieve a sufficiently fast burst speed, the Mahakala spell sacrifices most of its offensive capabilities compared to Dark Descent, focusing primarily on functionality, generating domains, and assisting in combat.

This ability is more suitable for him to use.

Soon after, Rainbach stopped, and Flamelight Eye took off his sunglasses, his bright golden eyes looking at the small building in the distance. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "We're here. The Red Earth is inside."

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu got out of the car and looked at the small building, his steps forward were extremely steady.

"and many more."

"Ok?"

"If you need help, I might be willing to lend a hand," said Flamelight Eye, leaning against the license plate of Rainbach, his gaze languid.

"No, thanks."

Ye Mingqiu smiled and continued walking into the small building. Then, the dark power completely engulfed the small building.

Mahakala
