Navigator: I have a double six-story house

Chapter 112 Rules of the Martial World, One-on-One Duel

As Su Qing's two crisp claps fell, the cabin door opened.

Immediately afterwards, Li Daniu came out carrying his staff.

Lin An scoffed; he had overestimated Su Qing.

Isn't this just a warrior whose strength doesn't seem to be underestimated?

That's it?

Then the new crew members, who had recently joined the Sunny, filed out.

More than forty young men surrounded Lin An in surprise.

Lin An muttered a count, coming up to about forty people.

Forty...?!

No...that can't be right!

This isn't right!

How could a novice captain like you have so many crew members at this stage?

Moreover, these guys were all muscular and didn't look like the skinny, dead wastes on Midway.

He looked up at the bright moon overhead.

By the way, this is Su Qing's exclusive flight route!

This eerie place, where it only exists at night, must have something strange going on.

Yes, it must be this strange place that's causing him to hallucinate.

He rubbed his eyes, then opened them.

The number of people surrounding them had not decreased.

It's not a hallucination.

Su Qing's voice rang out at just the right moment.

"How's it going, Lin An?"

"Just as you said, they all came out."

"Are you satisfied now?"

The air grew still, save for the sound of the crashing waves.

All twenty-six of Lin An's men turned their gazes to him.

No way, bro, this is the rookie captain you were talking about.

Lin An was sweating profusely, and he wiped it haphazardly with the back of his hand.

"What are you looking at?"

"Don't be fooled by their numbers; look at them, they're carrying wooden spears, just like primitive people."

He was spouting nonsense that even he himself didn't believe.

"Besides, with so many people, how is Su Qing going to feed them?"

"The supplies we can get at this stage are limited; the more people there are, the less supplies we'll receive!"

"They're lucky if they can even get enough to eat, let alone upgrade their status."

"The advantage is still on our side!"

Lin An's words seemed logical and reasonable, and the others believed them, which put them at ease.

Su Qing raised an eyebrow upon hearing Lin An's analysis.

No, what are you talking about?

My Sunshine is lacking many things, but it's not lacking in food.

Leaving aside the plantation that "Brother Han" meticulously manages, there is also a newly built paradise on the ship.

You're saying I have few supplies?

Before Su Qing could even speak, Wang Yao couldn't take it anymore.

He clutched his stomach, pointing at Lin An and laughing heartily without any mercy.

Upon seeing this, Lin An's forehead veins bulged.

It's that big, clumsy guy again; it's always him.

"What are you laughing at now?!"

Wang Yao waved his hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes—tears of laughter.

"It's nothing, it's nothing—I was just thinking about happy things."

Hahahaha....

...No, no, my stomach hurts so much...

"7

The entire deck of the Sunny was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Even the new crew members of the Sunshine, though they didn't quite understand the conversation, laughed heartily when they saw their divine messenger laughing and the guy with the dagger on the other side turning purple with anger.

Lin An felt that his lungs weren't just about to explode, they had already exploded.

"That's enough!"

Lin An flew into a rage and brandished his dagger.

"Charge! All of you!"

"Let's show these arrogant fools what real strength is!"

Under Lin An's command, the twenty-six crew members finally moved.

They brandished their weapons and charged toward the new crew members from all directions.

However..

This group of well-equipped crew members were easily subdued by the new crew members in just a few rounds.

There were twenty-six people on the other side against forty or so, a clear numerical disadvantage, and all the new crew members were at their initial peak.

Although Lin An's crew members were also at the initial peak level, their equipment was even better.

However, their combat experience and teamwork are far inferior to Su Qing's side.

"Useless trash! A bunch of useless idiots!"

Lin An stood in the middle of the encirclement, watching his men being subdued one by one, his face extremely grim.

He turned his head to look at Su Qing.

Su Qing leaned against the ship's railing, arms crossed, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at Lin An.

Lin An finally realized that his current situation was no longer the crushing defeat he had imagined.

His gaze fell on Li Daniu, who was carrying a magic staff.

That guy never made a move.

He had been standing next to Su Qing since just now, with his spiked club on his shoulder, and his expression was even somewhat bored.

He didn't make a move because there was no need for him to.

Lin An could sense that the aura emanating from that guy was definitely not something that someone at the initial energy level could possess.

At least...

...Second job advancement?

How is that possible!

How could Su Qing have second-tier crew members under his command?!

Now his subordinates have been completely suppressed, and his only advantage is his second-stage transformation strength.

There's only one way left.

"Su Qing!"

Lin An suddenly shouted.

He looked past the chaotic battlefield and stared straight at Su Qing.

"If you have the guts..."

'

"The rules of the underworld!"

"One-on-one!"

The noise on deck subsided somewhat, and several new crew members turned to look at Su Qing, awaiting his instructions.

Su Qing was taken aback for a moment. Then, he smiled.

He was laughing very happily.

"OK."

Su Qing straightened up and took a few steps forward.

Wang Yao frowned and stopped Su Qing.

"Su-zai, you don't need to..."

'

"fine."

Su Qing waved her hand, interrupting Wang Yao.

"let me."

"Perfect timing, I have something I'd like to try."

Li Daniu didn't care. He took the staff off his shoulder and slammed it into the ground.

"If Xiaoqing wants to make a move, then I'll just watch. Anyone who dares to launch a sneak attack..."

""

He glanced at the few Lin An's crew members who were still standing.

"I don't mind getting involved myself."

The crew members instinctively took a step back.

Although the new crew members couldn't understand, they still made way for each other.

Su Qing walked up to Lin An, with less than five meters between them.

Lin An's dagger was already drawn and held in his hand.

Su Qing's hand did not reach for the holster at her waist.

His hand rested on the hilt of the longsword behind him.

The sound of metal being drawn from its sheath was clear and pleasant.

Otto Clair.

The lost sword of the Third Cavalry Regiment.

The cavalry emblem engraved on the sword gleamed faintly in the moonlight.

Lin An's gaze was deeply drawn to the longsword.

He remembered clearly that Su Qing used the Fire element in the dungeon last time.

Ranged classes in the game typically cannot equip longswords.

But now, instead of using fire magic, he picked up a longsword.

That leaves only one possibility, the one Lin An least wants to face.

"You've already turned around?"

Lin An's voice was somewhat hoarse.

Su Qing gripped Otto Claire, the sword tip slightly lowered, pointing towards the deck.

He did not answer Lin An's question.

He simply raised his sword.

Moonlight fell on the sword, reflecting Su Qing's calm face.

And in those eyes, what surged was the old general who died for the Third Cavalry Regiment, and the cavalrymen who had become heroic spirits in the sword.

It is the trust of every member of the Sunshine.

Lin An gripped the dagger tightly, suddenly realizing his palms were sweaty.

It's okay, I'm a second job advancement candidate and he's a first job advancement candidate, so the advantage is still on my side.

"bring it on!"
