Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

Beneath the ice sheet, Niōken master Su Qi first heard a sword's cry and a scream, followed by a muffled thud as a heavy object fell to the ground.

He was pinned down by the ice, his vision obstructed, and he could only vaguely sense the violent collision of energy, unaware of what changes had occurred in the outside world.

Until a piece of warm flesh fell with a "thud" in front of Su Qi. It was Manlu's upper body, his eyes still filled with the terror and disbelief that lingered until his death.

Manru is dead; he and his robes were killed by Lokunlun, except for the staff.

Then, the thick ice sheet pressing down on him was easily lifted off.

Luo Kunlun stood before him, holding the blood-dripping Mo Yuan Greatsword. The crimson battle aura on the blade had not completely faded, and faint energy ripples still lingered around him.

"Do you need me to give you some breathing exercises?" Luo Kunlun asked calmly, looking at Su Qi's pale face.

His speech was somewhat non-standard; naturally, different languages ​​around the world have different pronunciations.

These few sentences were ones that Luo Kunlun specifically learned from He Lai, and they were barely enough for communication.

Su Qi struggled to get up from the ground, suppressing his injuries by circulating his battle qi, and shook his head: "No need... I can stabilize this injury after a short while, and it will be fully healed in a few days."

"Why did you attack? Judging from your appearance, you are clearly a warrior under that devil's command."

"I didn't pledge allegiance to the wizard, so this can't be considered betrayal," Luo Kunlun shrugged, saying nonchalantly.

Seriously, he wasn't even from the wizarding world.

"The reason I took action is twofold: first, I dislike these things, and second, I want to do you a favor so that I can learn more advanced and secret martial arts."

"An even more advanced secret weapon?"

"It seems that you have learned the basics of Qigong through those people, and may even have developed your own school of thought."

Su Qi recalled the earth-shattering blow he had just delivered and sincerely praised, "With the blow that instantly killed him, your strength is above mine. Ordinary secret techniques are probably no match for what you already possess."

"That was my trump card, a strike infused with all my battle qi." Luo Kunlun didn't hide anything. "What I want to learn is the world's most advanced secret martial art."

"I must learn all the secret martial arts techniques of the world to become stronger!"

"This is my true motivation: to become stronger and to live a better life in this world, I embarked on the path of seeking power."

Hearing this, Su Qi was silent for a moment, "Okay, but as a doctor, I have more important things to do now."

"You agreed so easily?" Luo Kunlun was somewhat surprised. He had thought he would have to use more persuasion, or even some tricks.

"Otherwise what?" Su Qi's face showed a bitter expression. "This world is already ravaged, and I am the only one left to inherit the Renwang Fist."

"It would be the greatest regret if this tradition were to end in my hands. If you can learn it, you will have left a successor for Renwangquan."

"Some of my companions wanted to learn, and I taught them."

"Besides, I can sense your aura. Although it has some color in it, you're not a bad person."

Qi, life energy, is something everyone has; the difference lies in whether or not one can channel it out.

It was originally colorless, but it gained color when the ripples were transformed into battle aura by a dedicated martial artist.

The spirit governs the body, while qi (vital energy) is the manifestation of life.

Under the control of the spirit, or rather the heart of a martial artist, qi becomes a more lethal fighting spirit. One can get a general idea of ​​a martial artist's heart by looking at their fighting spirit.

"As you said, you and they are not on the same path."

Afterwards, Luo Kunlun picked up Manru's staff, feeling the pure magic contained within it, and casually put it into his bag.

Suqi then lifted Manru's skull and removed his brain.

"Are you studying wizards?" Luo Kunlun asked. "I've studied them before, but apart from the high concentration of radiation, I can't see their true nature."

After killing Graxis, Lokunlun scanned his body with Zero, especially his brain.

Wizards use their mental powers to interfere with reality; barring any unforeseen circumstances, the secrets to their spells should reside in their minds.

But Zero didn't find anything.

There's no way around it; the brain is just too mysterious and complex. Trying to analyze the wizard's brain using scanning techniques is beyond Zero's capabilities.

Moreover, wizarding talents may involve the more mysterious realm of the soul.

Lokunlun's soul does not belong to the wizarding world, which may be the reason why he lacks talent.

But Su Qi's words piqued his interest.

"Five years ago, on that day, when those wizards first descended, my master killed an apprentice and dissected the bodies of apprentices killed by other participants."

"Their brains become lighter after death. At first, we thought it was just due to water evaporation, until my master accidentally put those brains into a bottle filled with distilled water."

"The water in the bottle has a substance I've never seen before; that substance might be the essence that allows wizards to cast spells."

"Unfortunately, there's currently no way to extract that substance; it evaporates rapidly once it comes into contact with the outside world."

"And shortly after that, my master passed away."

........

After that, the village was abandoned.

The people who followed Su Qi had already cleaned up the body and prepared the water and food.

Meanwhile, the cannon fodder who hadn't taken action earlier were also brought under control.

"Everyone, we can't stay here any longer. The devil's reinforcements may arrive soon. We must set off immediately and continue north."

According to Su Qi, these people were survivors who had spontaneously gathered after the great flood.

After the great flood, Su Qi, who had lost everything, traveled to various places.

Niouken is not known for its pure lethality, or rather, it was never intended to be a killing technique.

It started as a medical technique of acupuncture and moxibustion, and after thousands of years of development, it became a secret martial art.

It can be used to attack the opponent's weaknesses, inject fighting spirit into the enemy's body, directly damaging the meridians, acupoints and internal organs, and can also be used to treat diseases and save lives.

Su Qi liked to use it to save people, and these people were almost all his patients.

In addition, Niohken has another secret technique, which is a secret technique passed down in all four of the oldest and strongest schools.

The ultimate principle of Renwangquan is called Bigu, which allows the practitioner to sustain themselves without food and cultivate their own Qi even without eating or drinking.

It doesn't directly plunder like dead blood, but rather senses and absorbs the energy naturally emitted by plants and trees to sustain itself.

Based on this, there is another secret technique called the Thousand Leaf Invisibility Technique.

It's like hiding a tree in a forest, concealing yourself with the scent of nature, eliminating your own presence, and deceiving your opponent's perception.

After the flood, most parts of the world were no longer habitable, and Su Qi and his followers have migrated over the years in search of a peaceful place to live.

Unfortunately, even this tiny desire to survive is now incredibly difficult to achieve.

During this process, companions often fell down.

Until six months ago, Su Qi ran into an old friend by chance.

He told Su Qi that there was a safe place to live deep in the Qingqing Grassland in the north.

So Su Qi's group set off north. A day later, they passed through this abandoned village and decided to rest there. Unexpectedly, they ran into a group from the Saran Fortress.

I originally thought I could just slip through the cracks, since there are homeless refugees everywhere these days. If I encountered them on the road during the day, the soldiers wouldn't bother with me and would just give me a quick question before letting me pass.

Thanks to Chiba's invisibility technique, the group traveled safely without incident.

But who could have imagined that Manru would kill someone just because of a feeling? Su Qi naturally couldn't remain indifferent.
