The Twelve Trials Starting from Zero

Hearing this, Su Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Wang possesses the ability to read minds, and in the known storyline, only Anna is explicitly immune to his mind-reading. Knowing this beforehand, Su Qi was naturally well-prepared. He even borrowed the spirit-severing techniques from the previous world to develop a new magical power isolation skill. This skill is a high-level magical power application technique that completely controls and contains all magical power based on the active characteristics of magical power in this world, while constantly changing the interference of spiritual matter.

Now that Ye Wang's mind-reading ability has failed him, regardless of whether it's due to a newly developed technique, he can finally relax. After all, Ye Wang isn't a weakling or a fool like Wu Xin Gui. If he were to fight such an overpowered boss while his mind is being read, the scene would be too gruesome for him to bear.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Too Insignificant

"Desu, twelve years old, a partner of justice."

After saying this shamelessly, he stopped using "Spirit Absolute" and allowed his own magical power to dissipate naturally.

"what?"

Ye Wang immediately sensed it; the smile that always graced his lips gradually disappeared, and his eyes became serious.

The power of magic, powerful magic, though not quite as great as his own, was by no means something to be easily ignored or dismissed as "too insignificant"...

Since his nearly thousand-year cultivation in hell and his reincarnation in this era, he has never treated any psychic as an equal. Because the magical power of everyone he has encountered is indeed too insignificant compared to his, he has always looked down on everyone, and his face always carries a nonchalant, composed smile. But now... for the first time, a psychic has made him feel threatened, even if only slightly.

So he also released his restrained magical power.

Instantly, Su Qi's pupils contracted slightly. Through his pseudo-heavenly eye, he saw a tangible magical power explode from the person in front of him, like a monstrous wave that swept across the entire front courtyard, staining the air within a hundred meters with its own "color".

As expected, his magical power is stronger than mine. Judging from the current scale of his release, I'm only about two-thirds of his. If we take Ye Wang's magical power of 125 million in the original story as a reference, the difference between us is about 400,000. I don't even know if he's deliberately holding back...

Sensing Ye Wang's witch power far exceeding his own, Su Qi felt solemn but not afraid, because this was exactly what he expected.

"Ye Wang is a severe mother complex."

Then, he silently said this to himself, and after observing the other party's expression, he found no abnormality. He could then make a preliminary judgment: even without the upgraded "Spirit Absolute", as long as the witch power was strong enough, it would be enough to make him immune to Ye Wang's mind reading.

"Daocheng, become my retainer."

Unaware that someone had just been secretly cursing him in his heart, Ye Wang immediately invited the other to join his ranks. He displayed his magical power not out of fear or intimidation, but simply to prove his strength and demonstrate that he possessed a magnanimity superior to Su Qi.

However, as a transmigrator with normal values, how could he possibly submit to someone else?

“I refuse.” Su Qi said directly, “I am a man destined to become the Shaman King, of course I cannot become your retainer.”

"Unfortunately, there can only be one person who can become the Shaman King, and that is me."

Ye Wang's tone was not intense, as calm as casually discussing the weather in daily life, but this was precisely the proof of his unparalleled confidence, taking "becoming the Shaman King" as common sense.

"Similarly, I cannot accept a tyrant who wants to kill everyone becoming Shaman King."

"It seems Daocheng knows me very well."

"Perhaps they understand it better than you do."

"Then you should understand that what I want to eliminate are only those greedy mortals with filthy minds. I saw in my divination that continuing to let those selfish and disgusting vermin live will only lead to the extinction of the vast majority of life on this planet in the smoke of nuclear bombs, and turn the whole world into hell in endless radiation pollution."

"Therefore, in order to prevent such a future, the best choice is to first purify all those corrupt people and establish a world where only psychics exist and humans and all things in the world live in harmony."

However, after hearing Ye Wang's words, Su Qi's response was...

"Too insignificant," he commented with a dismissive expression.

"Too insignificant..." Ye Wang felt a subtle sense of disorientation as his own catchphrase was used to describe him. However, this was not enough to anger him. He simply chuckled and said, "Heh, I never thought I would be evaluated like this one day. So tell me your reasons for this evaluation. Depending on the quality of your answer, I will also give my evaluation."

If the assessment is "too insignificant," the ending is that his soul and body will be burned to ashes by his fire spirit... This is what he left unsaid.

“I say your capacity is too small, you are not worthy of being a king, let alone the king of kings who rules over all living beings on this planet.” Su Qi was not afraid at all and said bluntly: “The duty of the Spirit King is to create a new era, to become the sun in the sky, and to lead all living beings on earth to evolve in a better direction. Your actions are at best those of a tyrant.”

"Sacrifice is inevitable in order to create a better world."

"However, in my view, humanity has developed over millions of years, and the current magnificent civilization is supported by more than 99% ordinary humans, not the majority of ancient spiritualists. Yet you want to eliminate the core of civilization and bring human society back to the primitive era. This is not evolution, but a huge regression that ignores the sacrifices of countless predecessors! It is turning back the clock of history! Is the world you dream of really beautiful for humanity?"

"Without a doubt, that's how it is in the eyes of the psychics."

"Without a doubt, you unilaterally expelled the vast majority of ordinary people from the human race. You abandoned them, which is why I say you lack the capacity to become the Shaman King. Not to mention, you cannot represent all shamans. Otherwise, why were you attacked by so many shamans during the last great war of shamans five hundred years ago? And why do so many shamans now regard you as an enemy?"

As Su Qi continued to question him, the warmth gradually faded from Ye Wang's expression.

“Too insignificant.” He said expressionlessly, “Those psychics have too narrow a vision, bound by their identities in mortal society and their own emotions, and cannot become my companions.”

"All the tyrants in history probably thought the same way about those who disagreed with them, but no tyrant ever regarded the whole world as an enemy like you."

"Because truth has always been in the hands of a few."

"Ha, it's not me who's wrong, it's the world. Your viewpoint is strikingly similar to that of a delusional teenager. Or is it that the truth you speak of is the very power you wield?"

"Too insignificant." Ye Wang raised his head slightly, his face cold, and his gaze towards Su Qi changed from looking straight ahead to looking down. "I thought that you, with such powerful witchcraft, would be an excellent psychic, but unfortunately, that seems to have been just my illusion."

"Ye Wang, do you know what I would do if I could become the Shaman King?"

Before Ye Wang could respond, Su Qi answered his own question: "I will make everyone a psychic. I will let them see the true face of this world and make their own choices. I will guide them to correct their mistakes and get back on the right track. This is what a true psychic king should do, just like the previous psychic kings Jesus and Buddha."

Ye Wang remained silent for a moment, then suddenly said coldly, "That's the wrong answer!"

"Where is wrong?"

"The mistake lies in the fact that mortals must pay the price for their mistakes."

"You're just taking your anger out on others. Because your mother was killed innocently, because of the vile mortals you saw, you're taking your anger out on other innocent people. How are you any different from those vile mortals who killed your mother?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Wang's face suddenly turned icy cold, a sharp killing intent overflowing from his eyes, and his tone became as cold as the Antarctic snow country, "The difference is that I will also kill the human society that has made them so ugly, and then create a world that will never kill the innocent!"

After saying that, he turned and walked away.

At the same time, Su Qi's head darkened as the Fire Spirit's giant hand slammed down like a mountain.

My period is big!

He was prepared, and with a shout in his heart, he immediately rushed out and caught up with Ye Wang in an instant.

You've betrayed my justice!

With a small hope that success would allow him to pass the level directly, Su Qi conjured a long sword, pierced through the air with a single strike, and stabbed at Ye Wang's vest.

But the next moment, the fire spirit above his head suddenly dissipated. Almost simultaneously, a giant crimson hand with a steely sheen appeared behind Ye Wang, easily blocking the blade.

Ding!

The clear, resonant sound of the blade striking each other echoed outwards. The tip of the blade pierced only about three inches into the back of the hand before it could go no further.

It wasn't that simple after all... His fire spirit used oxygen in the air as a medium, so by instantly dissolving the super spirit body and then re-manifesting it, he could achieve such a seamless flashing effect. In addition, the stability of the super spirit body was also incredibly exaggerated... It was mentioned in the original work that it was the strongest super spirit body created using 400,000 units of magical power...

Su Qi's mind raced. He drew his sword and focused his mind, using his pseudo-heavenly eye to see through the giant hand that blocked his way like a red wall. But he found... no, the density of the witch power was too high; he couldn't break through it in one strike...

He had a bad feeling, but since this was just a test, he still swung his long sword and slashed along the opening, creating a three-foot-long cut on the back of his hand. However, compared to the size of the giant hand, it was far from enough to cause serious injury.

The next moment, a shockwave exploded, a fierce wind howled, and the crimson giant arm that had been holding Ye Wang suddenly swept out, sending Su Qi flying with a bang and crashing into the main house facing the front courtyard.

Boom boom boom boom boom...

The corridor was shattered, the walls were smashed through, the furnishings inside were broken and scattered, and the back wall was also pierced by a human cannonball, which directly blasted into the courtyard behind the house. Finally, it dragged and rubbed against the ground, stirring up billowing dust, and smashed into the wall with a bang, embedding itself in the back wall.

"Ye Wang is really something else. It's been a long time since I've had such an intense battle since I came to this world..."

The protective shield in front of him, formed from the transformation of a super-spirit, was covered in cracks.

As he sighed inwardly, preparing to cancel his super spirit body and climb down from the wall, a large gray iron cone suddenly pierced down from above.

boom! !

In an instant, the sharp iron cone pierced the air, penetrated the protective shield, and its gleaming tip aimed directly at Su Qi's brow.

Having started out in close combat, how could I possibly die so easily!

At the critical moment, he suddenly turned his head and sideways, performing a somersault to barely avoid the attack. However, he couldn't dodge the blow; the wall behind him was pierced through, sending shards of stone flying towards Su Qi, who was right in front of him.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Falling Down

bang bang bang...

Just as he was about to be hit in the face by the stones, a tiger-headed shield suddenly appeared in front of Su Qi, blocking them all. As long as he had a little time to catch his breath, he could rebuild the destroyed super spirit, but that part of his witch power was indeed consumed.

Although Ye Wang's magical power value is used as a reference, his own magical power value is about 800,000. The super spirit body constructed by the white tiger can only bear about 50,000 magical power. So even if it is broken once, it will only consume one-sixteenth of his total magical power, which is not too serious.

However, when facing an enemy like Ye Wang, every bit of strength is precious.

At this moment, the large iron cone, deeply embedded in the wall beside him, was pulled out, rose, and slid off some debris and dust, casting a large shadow.

"They are indeed very resilient."

Ye Wang's voice rang out from above. Su Qi looked up and discovered that the large iron cone that had been poked down earlier was not an iron cone at all, but merely Huo Ling's index finger.

"Dao Cheng, because of your outstanding magical power, I will give you another chance." The giant fire spirit stood between heaven and earth, with Ye Wang standing in its left palm, looking down coldly and saying, "Become my vassal, or die here, which do you choose?"

Su Qi jumped down from the wall, glanced at the arrogant figure above him, and said without hesitation, "Sorry, I won't choose either one."

As it spoke, the super-spirit transformed again, becoming a sci-fi-style suit of armor that perfectly conformed to its body lines, completely covering its limbs, torso, and even head. The armor looked similar to Genji's suit from Overwatch, with a white base and black patterns, made up of pieces of armor plates, and apart from the tiger-head-shaped helmet, it had virtually no other decorations.

This is the final version of the Armored Super Spirit Body that Su Qi has improved over the past year. It not only protects the fragile body of the spirit medium, but also maximizes the improvement of the armor's material structure. It has honeycomb-shaped holes distributed in various key parts to allow the air to flow, perfectly utilizing the White Tiger's ability to control the wind. By using compressed air to burst forward, it has greatly enhanced the speed and power that he can exert.

Although he couldn't achieve the completely inhuman level of the previous world due to the inability of his internal organs to provide effective protection and the limitations of his wind-controlling power, he could still be considered a mini-superman compared to ordinary people.

boom! !

With a flash, Su Qi shattered the ground and leaped into the air, jumping five or six meters above the ground, level with Ye Wang standing in the Fire Spirit Palm.

So fast!

The latter's pupils contracted slightly, and with a thought, the special ability of the spirit was activated, and a ball of flame suddenly exploded around Su Qi.

boom!

A powerful gust of air shot out from the grooves in the armor on his back, propelling Su Qi forward and instantly breaking through the flames as he swung his sword at Ye Wang.

boom! !

A shockwave exploded outwards, and at the critical moment, a claw half the size of a human blocked his advance.

In that instant, Ye Wang canceled the Fire Spirit's giant form and donned his own armored super spirit form—Black Chick.

Black Chick's form is roughly the bird form of Fire Spirit, with himself trapped in the middle. It has two triangular heads with angled sides blocking its chest, three tail wings on its back, two on top and one on the bottom, and two metal claws that can be extended and controlled on the left and right sides. Overall, it looks like a small fighter jet.

"You've already mastered the Armor-Binding Super Spirit Form? You're even more troublesome than I imagined."

As Ye Wang spoke, he suddenly grabbed Su Qi's claws, causing the latter to retreat and escape, but still leaving several deep marks on the armor.

The difference in strength between a 50,000-strong super spirit body and a 400,000-strong super spirit body is too great...

With a thought, Su Qi repaired his armor, then flew through the air, making a turn in mid-air before rushing towards Ye Wang once more.
