Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 250 Money Launch
Feng Qing's face looked grim. Regardless of whether Xu Shen could become the captain, he had already lost the qualification to run for the election. Now he had to work hard to check for Xu Shen.
Furthermore, once his abilities become known to others, they will be easily guarded against, especially in this fixed battlefield, where the strategic nature of his abilities is limited and his combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.
As the challengers stepped forward, Feng Qing also put his thoughts to rest.
Let him be a stepping stone?
Don't even think about it.
He had no intention of continuing to work hard, just to deal with the battle lightly.
However, he did not act too perfunctory. After all, Her Majesty the Queen Ant was still watching from above, and it would be a bit embarrassing to lose too much.
Six challengers took turns to fight, and finally five advanced and only one was defeated.
The five winners will compete against Xu Shen in a one-on-one election.
None of the five people planned to give up. Although they did not see through Xu Shen's abilities, they believed they could handle it.
"Wu Changlong!"
The first challenger stepped forward. He looked like a middle-aged man with cold and deep eyes. He looked quite calm and experienced.
He looked solemn and did not look down on Xu Shen because of his age.
Nasefani didn't waste any time and directly announced the start of the game.
Xu Shen and Wu Changlong both escaped into the world of ruins.
Xu Shen had also seen the previous fight between Wu Changlong and Feng Qing. His ability was a strange exploding balloon.
This is one of the few special abilities in the Royal Guard.
At this moment, as he entered the ruins, Xu Shen immediately saw a woman with disheveled hair slowly standing up from the shadow behind the other party.
The woman had pale skin, no pupils, only the whites of her eyes. She was nearly three meters tall, and her fingers were as sharp as claws.
But standing behind Wu Changlong, Xu Shen felt that this woman was like an umbrella, or a huge telephone booth, protecting Wu Changlong from the wind and rain.
This horrifying scene made Xu Shen feel inexplicably warm.
Soon, black energy emerged from the hands of this terrifying woman and gradually floated up, forming a black balloon that floated over.
Then more and more balloons emerged from his palms , like bubbles gushing out from underwater, gurgling one after another. In an instant, black balloons were floating over the sky above the entire world.
Various patterns appeared on the balloons, some of which were children's faces, grinning.
This ability is relatively weak in frontal combat, but it is highly strategic and requires one to use one's brain to master it. It is not as simple and crude as the strong attack type.
Unfortunately...
When this ability is seen through, the drawbacks of this ability become apparent.
All strategies will be discovered and their power will be reduced to the minimum.
As the balloons flew over, Xu Shen's body was shot out with a chain. The front end of the chain was sharp and pierced the balloon directly through the air.
With a bang, each balloon burst with a slight sound.
It sounded like a normal balloon popping.
But when fighting Feng Qing before, Xu Shen had witnessed the power of the balloon exploding after being touched, which was enough to shatter and kill an ordinary C-level beast on the spot.
Seeing his balloon being punctured, Wu Changlong's expression was a little gloomy. Not many people could see his balloon, but Xu Shen could sense Feng Qing's command rune, so he was mentally prepared.
"Let this place become an amusement park..."
Wu Changlong said softly.
When the woman behind him heard this, she paused slightly, then slowly raised her head. Her loose hair naturally fell to both sides of her cheeks, revealing her clear facial features.
His facial features are bony and his cheekbones are high.
The eyes, which were only the whites left, suddenly turned, revealing a pair of pupils.
The pair of pupils looked directly at Xu Shen through the balloon.
Then she let out a clear cry, and a thick energy like smoke emanated from her body.
A large number of balloons floated out as the energy dissipated and gathered in the air, densely packed, filling the area of more than ten meters where the two were fighting.
The balloons were like walls and clouds, slowly moving forward.
Xu Shen's expression remained the same, except that the chain he had shot out earlier had split into dozens or even hundreds of thin threads.
Then Xu Si suddenly shot out and pierced into the balloon wall like a flying needle.
The front end of the sharp thread was thrown out and sank into the balloon. The balloon burst, and the thread composed of the force was also blown to pieces.
There were continuous popping sounds, and gaps soon appeared in the balloon wall.
This ability became a fatal weakness in front of Xu Shen's control of Xu Si, and was restrained.
If you encounter other strong attack systems, you can only use close combat attacks and will be helpless.
Behind the balloon wall, Wu Changlong rushed forward with a sword in hand with an angry expression.
Xu Shen was still standing there, moving slightly, manipulating the Xu silk to continuously detonate the Xu silk approaching from all around.
In a blink of an eye, Wu Changlong had rushed in front of Xu Shen and slashed down with his sword.
Xu Shen also drew his sword quickly and slashed with his backhand.
Bang!
The swords collided, producing sharp sparks.
A sneer appeared on Wu Changlong's face.
A slight cracking sound came from the edge of his sword, which bounced and deflected Xu Shen's sword.
Wu Changlong couldn't help but freeze at the sneer on his face.
Then the tilted sword edge suddenly slashed across, approaching in an instant at a faster speed than before.
The sword wind cut off the peak of his brow, carved a thin line on his eyebrow, and stopped at the center of his brow.
Obviously, the winner has been decided.
Wu Changlong stared at Xu Shen in a daze, feeling confused.
His ability is not to explode balloons, but to explode!
The balloons were just something he used to disguise and cover up, just like when he was a child, he played in the amusement park in the city, and those balloons covered up the figures of his parents...
Therefore, balloons make an excellent camouflage.
His real ability is the explosion of virtual force.
When the power acts on the sword blade, or any part of the body, or even stays at a fixed point outside the body, he can detonate the power at any time.
Just imagine that when the long-range explosive balloon is broken, no one will be prepared for a close combat with him.
But once the swords intersect, a violent explosion will be heard, enough to blow off a person's wrist or even break the entire arm.
Even with excellent armor protection, the impact of the explosion is enough to deform a person's moves, leaving an open door, and this is a fatal flaw.
But... the explosion just now was like his sword farting loudly.
The power is too small!
How could that be?
Wu Changlong was at a loss when he heard Nasserhani's verdict.
Xu Shen had already retracted his sword and glanced at the opponent. He had to admit that this was indeed a very powerful ability, both strategically and in close combat.
Unfortunately...
Director Liu’s abilities are still too unsolvable.
Wu Changlong failed in the challenge, but his abilities were exposed. In this brief confrontation, Xu Shen's abilities were also revealed more clearly.
The guards present were not fools. The strange deviation of Xu Shen's sword and the faint explosion sound had already made some people guess Wu Changlong's ability.
But the explosion was suppressed, which can also be inferred that Xu Shen's ability seems to have some kind of suppressive effect.
The more they fight, the more cards are revealed, but for the sake of running for captain, there is nothing that can be done about it.
Xu Shen didn't care. Director Liu's ability was so strong that even if he was discovered, he would be helpless.
This is called no solution.
Just like Xue Haining's abilities, which have characteristics of spirit, control, and burst, even if others knew about it, they would be helpless in battle and could only escape.
Wu Changlong was defeated, and the second one was next...
In the blink of an eye, half a quarter of an hour passed.
Xu Shen defeated four people in a row, leaving only the last one.
In the four battles, Xu Shen displayed calmness and composure, which made people feel how terrifying this young man was.
They have also seen that in addition to Xu Shen's extremely strong perception and mental strength, he also seems to have some kind of suppressive effect.
Nasefani was also surprised. Although she gave the information to Xu Shen, she was not sure that Xu Shen would be able to win. After all, he was only a perception system.
People with perception-related abilities are usually weak in combat, but judging from Xu Shen's performance, he most likely has trait-related abilities.
Perception is just one of the characteristics of its abilities.
"You are strong."
The last challenger was a young man, but he looked fat and wealthy. Although he was wearing the armor of a royal guard, he had a rough gold chain around his neck and many rings on his gloves.
So rich and powerful!
"But I'm stronger."
The young man looked at Xu Shen with a smile, slowly took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, and said, "Here's the money. Give me the captain's position."
Previously, Feng Qing was bribed by his money, and was therefore criticized by many people.
Seeing the actions of the short and fat young man, Feng Qing in the crowd changed his expression slightly. He was the only one who knew what had happened before. This money... this was the devil's money!
"Um?"
When Xu Shen saw the money the other party handed over, he was surprised, but suddenly he had the urge to agree.
His heart trembled, and he felt a little confused. This amount of money was obviously not much, but for some reason... it was so tempting!
The captain's position is just an empty position, this is money!
Still cash!
Smells good money...
Um?
The constant stream of thoughts in his mind made Xu Shen suddenly alert. His eyes changed, and he released his ability to achieve great results with small efforts, covering a four-meter range around his body.
"Not enough? I can add more."
The short and fat young man smiled and took out another stack of money.
Add more?
So much cash... I want it so much... Xu Shen stared at the money in a daze, having a strong urge to agree, but soon his face changed, and the information given by Nasserfini quickly emerged in his mind.
One of the people with special abilities is the person in front of him.
His name is Guo Peng, and his ability is... money!
The abilities of the trait system are extremely strange.
Xu Shen's face changed. What surprised him the most was that when the opponent's ability was activated, he was unable to defend himself by using his ability to make a small effort to gain a big advantage!
This ability... doesn't seem to have the ability to conduct and attack, but it actually affects him.
Xu Shen didn't dare to keep his eyes on the money in his hand, his face was gloomy. He didn't pay attention to this ability when he was reading the information, but he didn't expect it to be so strange.
"I don't want your money!"
Xu Shen said indifferently.
"You think it's not enough?" Guo Peng was surprised, with a strange look in his eyes. How could he resist the temptation of 5,000 yuan?
Xu Shen's face changed slightly, and he didn't give the other party the ability to continue speaking, because he didn't know if he would be further influenced and agree if the other party continued to increase the stakes.
He acted quickly, and the silk chain shot out violently.
"I'll give you money, don't attack me."
Guo Peng immediately took out 1,000 yuan in bills and handed it over.
"good."
Xu Shen agreed subconsciously, and the chain retracted at the same time.
The banknote suddenly disappeared and appeared in his hand the next moment.
Xu Shen's pupils shrank and he looked down at the banknotes in his hand with some horror.
This ability...
"I'll give you some more money, so give me the spot." Guo Peng said, and took out money again.
Xu Shen's face changed slightly and he quickly took action.
The only thing he could think of doing now was to restrict the other party from paying the money.
Chains shot out rapidly, and at the same time, Xu Shen kicked his foot and attacked the opponent like lightning.
"Don't attack me, I'll give you money." Guo Peng said hurriedly when he saw Xu Shen rushing towards him, and at the same time took out some more banknotes from his left hand.
"good!"
When Xu Shen saw the denomination of the money drawn, he agreed for some unknown reason and his body stopped at the same time.
His ability to make the most of a small investment has been unleashed, but to no avail!
This was the first time Xu Shen encountered a strange ability that was completely beyond the reach of his ability to use the small to gain the big.
Then the banknote disappeared from Guo Peng's hand and appeared in Xu Shen's hand.
Xu Shen's face looked grim and he rushed forward again in a hurry.
"I'll give you money..."
"good!"
"I'll give you money..."
Xu Shen stopped and started during the attack, while Guo Peng kept taking out banknotes. This scene looked extremely strange , but the other guards also saw the clues at this moment. This seemed to be Guo Peng's ability.
As long as he pays, Xu Shen will agree to certain conditions.
A terrifying ability...
This is even more exaggerated than Feng Qing's command rune. The command rune needs to hit the target to be controlled, but this one only requires Guo Peng to take it out himself.
As Xu Shen approached, Guo Peng's forehead began to sweat. He suddenly reached into his pockets with both hands, all his strength bursting out, and growled, "I'll give you everything. Give me the spot!!"
A huge pile of banknotes came out of his arms, and he couldn't hold it with both hands, and it fell to the ground.
Judging from the face value of the banknotes, the total amount is as much as 20,000 or 30,000.
Xu Shen was stunned, his mouth trembled and the muscles on his face shook violently.
He clenched his teeth tightly, but his lips opened up, first his lips, then his teeth slowly loosened.
Xu Shen bit his teeth with all his strength and it looked like his teeth were chattering.
"Female...it seems not possible!"
Xu Shen's voice suddenly changed from difficult to cold.
bass!
The sword suddenly slashed out and instantly hit Guo Peng's face.
The sharp sword blade made Guo Peng feel that the skin on his face was being cut. The soldiers in his face were also ready to emerge, but they were suppressed by him.
The rule of this competition is that no soldiers are used and it all depends on one's own ability.
"How, how is it possible..." Guo Peng looked at Xu Shen, who was looking down at him with a cold expression, his eyes full of disbelief.
I spent all my savings, but you actually... don’t agree?
This is... money!!
Xu Shen withdrew his sword indifferently, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It seems that his ability to win big with small was not completely ineffective. At least when he was within 4 meters of him, the effect of the opponent's ability was obviously weakened.
The temptation of money also became less intense, and Xu Shen was able to ignore it.
Nasefani looked at Xu Shen in surprise, then smiled and clapped her hands, saying, "Very good, the election is over. It seems that our Xu Shen has finally won the captain's spot, and he deserves it. I think everyone else should have no objection, right?"
