Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 196: Double Image
"Elena, are you okay?"
Several friends nearby hurriedly gathered around, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Elena was not injured. They immediately began to criticize the person in charge who looked like a supervisor.
The man nodded and bowed, and smiled apologetically. Although there were some children in front of him, he did not dare to look down on them.
"I'm fine." Elena came back to her senses at this moment, feeling her heart pounding and her face burning. She secretly glanced at Xu Shen, and was relieved to see that Xu Shen didn't notice her embarrassment.
" What kind of waiter are you? You are so careless. There are so many wine glasses stacked together. If they hit someone, they will definitely get hurt!" someone said angrily.
"Sorry, sorry." The person in charge kept apologizing.
Xu Shen waved his hand and said, "Pack up and go down."
The man felt relieved and immediately retreated with a smile, but he was secretly angry in his heart. What a bunch of bastards, didn’t they fail to hit anything?
"Why did you let him go like this? Elena almost got hurt!" Someone still felt unwilling to see the man leave.
"What else? Should we make him kneel down and kowtow? Or should we deprive him of his position?" Xu Shen asked back.
The girl was stunned by Xu Shen's rebuttal and choked for a moment.
Xu Shen ignored her and said to Elena, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
"Okay." Elena responded quickly.
Xu Shen turned and left, walking towards the bathroom, but when he turned the corner, his figure suddenly disappeared and escaped into the world of ruins.
Then Xu Shen crossed the wall and went straight to the place where the waiter had left.
Soon, Xu Shen saw the waiter and the person in charge who had apologized earlier in the aisle leading to the kitchen.
"You did a good job. There was no danger and the lady was not hurt. This is your share. Take it and don't say anything." The person in charge was no longer humble as before. Instead, he stood in front of the waiter with a proud look on his face and took out a stack of Luca coins from his arms, all in denominations of one thousand yuan.
The waiter was flattered. After taking it, he thanked me repeatedly and promised not to say anything more.
"Go ahead , be smart." The person in charge waved his hand.
The waiter immediately collected the money, turned around and hurried to the kitchen.
The person in charge snorted and turned away.
In the corridor, only Xu Shen was left standing at the edge of the wall, watching the scene indifferently.
His eyes flickered, and without saying anything more, he turned and left.
…
…
When they returned to Elena and the others, Elena took Xu Shen to continue walking around the cocktail party. Xu Shen accompanied her for a while and then made an excuse to leave.
Not long after, Liu Jichuan found Xu Shen and introduced him to some wealthy people.
Xu Shen wrote down the appearances and names of these people. Among them, there were a few names that sounded familiar to Xu Shen. After thinking carefully, he realized that they were recorded in the notebook given by Su Shuang.
Obviously, these wealthy people had had interactions with Su Shuang.
Su Shuang also discovered some of their weaknesses and hidden secrets and wrote them down in the notebook.
Xu Shen did not show any abnormality and added communication with these people, which might be useful in the future.
After the cocktail party, Xu Shen left with Liu Jichuan.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Xu Shen got off the bus halfway and returned to Yanluo District.
Xue Haining didn't look for him. Xu Shen guessed that she should be exploring and practicing on her own. What he taught her before was actually all he had. Even if she came to ask for the so-called "secret" again, he could only practice it again and at most slow down the speed.
After injecting the advanced purifying agent, Xu Shen began to exercise.
Xu Shen has already mastered the second stage of the secret art of overlapping waves. With his increasing proficiency, Xu Shen's sword speed becomes faster and faster, and the sound of breaking wind is heard in the air.
"If the sword speed can be increased, even faster..."
Xu Shen swung with all his strength, and the sword shadow in front of him turned into an afterimage. One afterimage was getting closer and closer to the second afterimage, but after swinging dozens of swords in a row, he still couldn't catch up.
Xu Shen felt his arms were sore and had to stop to rest.
After his arm recovered, Xu Shen thought of his blood-colored gloves and couldn't help but feel moved.
It would be difficult to overlap by relying solely on one's own sword speed, even if it reached the current limit, but what about with the help of the Xu soldiers?
A blood-red glove immediately appeared in Xu Shen's hand, and the sword in his palm suddenly became light, like straw or wheat ears, and he suddenly swung with all his strength.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Continuous sword shadows were slashing out, and in an instant, the afterimages of Xu Shen's sword actually intersected with each other.
Xu Shen's eyes lit up and he gritted his teeth to increase the speed of his sword again.
Soon, the two sword shadows overlapped.
call!
The sound of the wind breaking due to the chopping became a little sharp in an instant.
Xu Shen stopped and felt the blood in his body gathering towards his arms and being absorbed and digested by the gloves. He immediately untied the gloves and disappeared into his body.
Success!
Even though he was using the Xu soldiers, the attempt just now gave Xu Shen hope.
As long as the sword speed exceeds the limit, it can be done!
Although there was no Xu as an opponent and no reference at the moment, Xu Shen could feel that the power of that sword was far greater than before.
"If the weapon is sharp enough, a B-level warrior won't be able to withstand this sword..." Xu Shen estimated in his mind.
He suddenly had the urge to try his hand at a B-level market.
However, there is no merit in hunting a B-level Xu by yourself, so you can try again when there is a mission, or you can lure out a B-level Xu and let it cause damage first, and then wait for the higher-ups to notice it and call you for another mission before solving it.
It can be used as a test, and also as a mission achievement...
However, this will inevitably lead to many innocent people being sacrificed.
But if you attract people who are not so innocent...
In the next few days, Xu Shen practiced swordsmanship hard in his room.
Some tedious matters in the Light Chasing Club were passed to him through Da Lily, and Xu Shen temporarily put them aside and would deal with them later.
Four days later.
Xue Haining's communication found Xu Shen again.
"OK."
Xu Shen hung up the call and waited for Xue Haining to arrive.
The latter seemed to be stuck in his practice again and wanted to ask for advice.
Not long after, the two met.
As soon as Xue Haining saw Xu Shen, he snorted coldly and said, "I practiced according to your method and basically succeeded, but there was a problem."
"I've already mastered it, what else could be the problem?" Xu Shen was a little surprised. It's only been five days and she said she had basically mastered it?
Although he taught her step by step, it was still Xue Haining himself who was actually in control.
"Of course."
Xue Haining snorted coldly and released the Xusi field that she had condensed. Within a one-meter radius around her, the Xusi floated like curved seaweed.
The silk threads are intertwined and looming, as if shrouded in a spherical spider web.
"Take a look for yourself." Xue Haining said, "With my mental power, the limit I can condense is only this much, less than half of yours!"
She said this with some annoyance.
She didn't think that her mental power was weaker than Xu Shen's, but that Xu Shen had some inner secrets that he hadn't told her.
I can’t see it… Xu Shen was a little speechless, guessing that the latter should have released the Ruins Silk Field. He said: “You have just learned it, if the range is too small, you can extend it wider when you are proficient. This kind of thing cannot be rushed.”
"It's not a question of proficiency, it's a question of upper limit!"
Xue Haining said angrily: "The method you taught is totally wrong. Relying on mental power to forcibly control the Xu force to become silk, maintaining this Xu silk field will always consume a huge amount of mental power and Xu force, and even if it is consumed, it cannot be extended."
“…”
Xu Shen didn't know what to say.
I asked you to practice more, but you insisted on learning it quickly. Wouldn't the scope of your field be expanded over time?
"Moreover, the protective effect of the Xusi field I condensed is too poor. A slightly stronger external force can penetrate the field. These Xusi are like floating cotton wool, too thin, and can't play any protective role at all." Xue Haining continued to complain.
Xu Shen smiled bitterly and said, "That's because the power you control in the silk is not enough, so it is thin and weak, without toughness."
"So how did you do that?"
"Practice makes perfect." Xu Shen said, "With repeated practice, the feel for the controls will come naturally. I can't explain it with just my mouth."
Xue Haining looked at Xu Shen steadily and said, "If you don't want to teach, I won't blame you, but if you want to teach, I hope you can be sincere."
"...I really taught you seriously." Xu Shen felt helpless.
"Are you saying that I am too dull?" Xue Haining was furious and his face became even colder.
Maybe it is true... A hint of doubt flashed across Xu Shen's eyes. Although Xue Haining had mastered this level in just four or five days, which was already very impressive, she seemed to like to dwell on trivial matters.
And I have no patience in doing things.
Seeing Xu Shen's expression, Xue Haining was furious and said, "Show me again."
Xu Shen was too lazy to waste any more words and just practiced again.
Strands of silk are woven together to form a complete silk field.
The range reaches a radius of three meters.
Xue Haining watched it from beginning to end this time without missing anything. She was a little stunned as she watched Xu Shen build up the Xu silk strands one by one, eventually forming a three-meter domain, and couldn't help but feel a little self-doubt in her heart.
Could it be that she really is incompetent?
impossible!
Her ability is the Golden Concert Hall.
The Queen Ant once said that this is a very powerful ability and that she possesses extraordinary mental strength.
Much stronger than the other two states!
As far as she knew, Xu Shen in front of her was only a perception system. Could it be that his mental power was stronger than hers?
"If you still can't learn it, there's nothing I can do. I don't want the armor anymore." Xu Shen said after finishing the drill.
He felt that he had taught diligently enough, but since the child refused to practice patiently and insisted on asking for some secret, there was nothing he could do.
Xue Haining frowned, recalled Xu Shen's practice in his mind, and then began to practice along with him.
Soon, her Xusi domain was constructed into a one-meter radius and could no longer be extended.
"Damn it, what's the problem? Why is it so easy for you to condense but so difficult for me!" Xue Haining gritted his teeth.
"Practice makes perfect. You don't have a feel for it." Xu Shen said.
Xue Haining's expression changed for a moment, and he suddenly turned around and walked away: "I will give you the armor I promised you. No matter how you teach, at least you are serious. I won't take advantage of you."
What do you mean it counts? I’ve been very serious, okay… Xu Shen was speechless, but when he saw that the other party was willing to fulfill his promise, he felt a little relieved.
Xue Haining drove away and returned to his residence.
"Strange, what went wrong?" Xue Haining paced back and forth in his room, and then tried again, but he could still only maintain a range of one meter in radius.
Moreover, the silk is too soft and its effect is limited.
"Could it be that this secret technique is not suitable for me?" Xue Haining frowned. She didn't believe what Xu Shen said about practice makes perfect. She knew it best because she had practiced it herself and she had tried her best.
Even if she continues to practice a thousand times, she will not see any greater changes or progress.
"Xusi..."
"If I could transform this silk into a zither string..."
Xue Haining's eyes suddenly lit up.
Xu Shen studied Xu Si on his own, so she can also study her own secret technique.
Since it is impossible to practice the Xusi Domain, why not borrow this idea and modify it into a fighting method that suits yourself?
Xue Haining did what he said and immediately released his ability, the Golden Concert Hall.
The room suddenly became bright and covered with golden glazed tiles.
Cellists and violinists appeared beside her one after another, and the violin strings they played were made of condensed silk.
Xu silk, zither strings... She continued to merge the two, and the Xu silk became zither strings. As the notes sounded, the sound waves and strange effects produced were clearly beyond the original ones.
Xue Haining was somewhat surprised that his abilities had actually been improved.
The combination of abilities and secret techniques is simply perfect!
I am indeed a genius... Xue Haining was excited. Although she did not learn Xu Shen's Xusi domain, her condensed strings allowed her to greatly improve her abilities, and her combat power was also improved to a higher level than before.
You know, she had already reached the two-state limit.
Now she has taken another step forward. Even if she meets the core members of the high clans in the inner city, she feels confident that she can defeat them.
"This is the correct way to use Xusi. Let him see it later..."
When Xue Haining thought of Xu Shen, a cunning and sneer flashed in her eyes. She was sure that Xu Shen had a secret that he had not told her, but it didn't matter. She had already figured out a secret technique that suited her. From this point of view, it was all thanks to Xu Shen for providing this idea.
To repay him, just beat him up.
…
…
After seeing Xue Haining off, that evening, Xu Shen received a call from the captain of the Sixth Squad, Wang Cheng, asking them to gather the next morning and go on duty.
Xu Shen didn't practice sword too late at night. Thinking that tomorrow would be his first day on duty as a personal guard, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
But then he thought that he was not a direct guard of the Ribantai and might not even see the Queen Ant at the place he was on duty, so he calmed down.
Rest for a night.
The next morning, Xu Shen got up at dawn and drove for two hours to the Mother Queen District.
After showing the gold medal of personal guard that he had received earlier, Xu Shen entered the snow palace where the queen ant lived.
The Snow Palace is a building area located in the core of the Mother Queen District. There are more than a dozen buildings of various sizes. Xu Shen came to the residence of the Sixth Squad and saw that Han Pengfei, whom he had just met, had arrived. In addition to him, there were three others, two men and one woman, all of whom were the Sixth Squad's personal guards.
"Now that you're here, hurry up and change your clothes." Han Pengfei saw Xu Shen and said with a smile, "This is yours. I've already picked it up for you."
Xu Shen saw the silver guard armor folded next to him, thanked him repeatedly, then walked forward to pick it up, and found a room to change into it.
When Xu Shen walked out of the room, he saw another woman coming outside. Including them, there were a total of 6 people. If team leader Wang Cheng was included, there were exactly 7 people.
