The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 124 Selecting Talent

"Pay close attention to the hiring and firing situations of both companies," Su Ninglong instructed Lei Qingya. "Keep it discreet and don't rashly ask your friends about it."

Lei Qingya became alert, thinking that he might need to change his approach to inquiring to avoid being tracked down, otherwise his friends might be implicated.

"Practice the spells and weapon crafting techniques I taught you."

"I practice for more than three hours every day." Lei Qingya scratched his face embarrassedly. This is the most difficult part of being a cultivator. There are too many spells and skills to learn, and you can even imitate the special abilities of superhumans.

Learning too many things at once can lead to a lack of expertise.

Su Ninglong, however, required her to master multiple skills.

Refining weapons is of paramount importance, but many unexpected situations can arise during the process, requiring one to possess the ability to survive an explosion.

"If you have time, you can also audit classes at the outer academy; it's hard for anyone to notice you. This will help you practice your spells. If you want to do combat training, you can also join the outer academy. Anyway, if you don't want to continue studying, you can drop out like Lian Xinyi."

Anyway, there are precedents to follow.

She's already at the college and has a temporary work permit. As long as she doesn't cross any lines or audit classes, no one can criticize her without cause.

Lei Qingya's eyes lit up. She decided to go and see what she could learn. She felt that she was relatively weak in intelligence gathering, and she could also learn more about adaptability in purchasing and trading.

For spices, she had to visit four or five shops to check the goods. It was difficult to distinguish the quality. The information found online was not necessarily accurate. She had to go to the library, compare prices at three different shops, and then ask the shop owner to confirm.

This is too troublesome. If she could get to know a few suppliers like Song Hu, she could save herself a lot of trouble, provided that the other party is honest and she also needs to accumulate knowledge.

“Okay, before that, I’ll go home and get some more luggage. There are a lot of unopened clothes and accessories at home, so I might as well use them. Anyway, she plans to stay at the school for a long time.” Lei Qingya thought greedily that it would be great if he could be a core member of the Star Alliance and also be by Su Ninglong’s side.

The idea of ​​having the best of both worlds flashed through her mind, but she quickly dismissed it, deciding to go home and grab some freebies first.

Su Ninglong planned to go home. She hadn't seen Zou Shuyi for a while and really missed her.

As she dragged her luggage, about to step out of the school gate, her gaze suddenly drifted to the bushes.

"Xingyuan, let's not go home yet. I just remembered I have some things to do." She tugged at Xingyuan's sleeve and started walking back.

Xingyuan: "Hmm?"

He didn't ask any further questions and followed Su Ninglong back into the school.

The little girl darted off towards the information department, heading straight for the principal's office.

She should seek help from her elders and not take risks on her own. She is in an unstable phase and could easily attract the Foundation Establishment Tribulation.

"Principal, Principal..."

Upon hearing the anxious voice, someone in the office immediately responded, "Come in."

Su Ninglong pushed open the door and went in.

Principal Yan was in a meeting. Three imposing figures stood in the office. They all had distinctive features, their eyes were full of stories, and they were definitely not young.

However, Su Ninglong could not discern their approximate age. The appearance of interstellar people could be slowed down by technology, and their true age could never be known without bone age analysis.

Everyone turned their heads and focused their attention on her.

Su Ninglong could sense that their strength was roughly at the same level as Principal Yan's. Could they all be level 5 hunters?
"What's up?"

"Someone is waiting for me at my door, but I don't know who it is. Can you help me?"

Yun Fei went to do a mission. She didn't want to ask anyone else. Principal Yan was the most authoritative and capable, and more useful than Star Police.

The person stalking her was filled with malice, as if they wanted to see through her completely and then turn her into an evil object or a malevolent puppet.

Xingyuan entered the room slightly embarrassed, not wanting to disturb his little darling's willful plea for help.

"Oli, go take a look." Principal Yan took it very seriously and called his own lead dog. Oli wagged its tail and came over from the next room, nudged Su Ninglong, and brought her to Principal Yan's side before teleporting to the school gate.

Principal Yan said jealously, "This guy has become your loyal knight."

“That’s right!” Su Ninglong comforted him. “It’s okay, it’s my knight, and it’s also your dog.”

Principal Yan smiled and tapped her nose: "Good girl, you don't have to be so 'understanding'."

"Is this the exceptionally promising young student, Su Ninglong?" one of the three visitors asked.

"You know me?" Su Ninglong stood on tiptoe, resting her arms on the desk, looking at them.

"Principal Yan is trying to persuade us to join the Star Alliance, and we intend to select one or two successors to train. What conditions do you think the Star Alliance can offer to attract us?"

The visitor's question was exactly what Su Ninglong wanted to hear.

"Can you take care of the bad guys lurking outside for me? I can offer you terms you absolutely cannot refuse."

Principal Yan pondered Su Ninglong's so-called conditions, wondering if she intended to reveal anything.

The three hunters exchanged interested glances.

One of the visitors had hair that was similar in color to the principal's, a deep red, but he had short hair.

With a prominent bulbous nose, his eyes and brows did not resemble those of Principal Yan, who had a kind and gentle appearance.

"What kind of bad thing are you referring to?"

Su Ninglong pointed towards the school gate and described what she had just felt, "Someone was coming for me..."

Doug, the visitor with the garlic-nose nose, picked up his hat and put it on. "I'll go take a look. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer when I come back."

Su Ninglong replied confidently, "No problem."

Doug looked at Principal Yan, who smiled and nodded without offering any rebuttal.

He is indeed a pampered child, and probably possesses extraordinary abilities.

Doug's footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor. Su Ninglong quickly sent a message to Lei Qingya, asking her to come to the principal's office.

Having just stepped out of the campus, Lei Qingya, who had planned to go home to get more luggage before returning to school, had no choice but to turn around and go to the principal's office first.

Fifteen minutes later, Doug appeared silently outside the office door, carrying a middle-aged man who was completely limp.

Ollie followed behind, baring his teeth at the middle-aged man. If Doug hadn't appeared, he would have bitten the man until he was covered in blood.

At this moment, Lei Qingya also arrived. She stood obediently beside Xingyuan and winked at him, asking what had happened.

Xingyuan remained silent, gave her a look, and then shook his head, telling her not to ask yet.

Doug pointed at the middle-aged man and asked Su Ninglong, "Is this the person?"

Su Ninglong scrutinized the person whose eyes had become vacant. His appearance was nothing special; he was just an ordinary person.

However, his aura was very murky, and he was someone that people would avoid even when he was in a crowd.

"It was him. He was waiting for me at the door, crouching in the bushes."

"How did you know?" "He was hostile towards me." Even in his paralyzed state, he exuded greed for himself.

Doug nodded in satisfaction. The inspiration was good; it certainly had great potential.

"This person is the killer."

The strangler?
Su Ninglong had never heard of this before, but she could tell what kind of business the person was from the name.

She swiped her finger across the screen, searching for information on the Star Alliance camp. Surprisingly, the information on the Stranglers was free. She quickly read through the pages and learned what the Stranglers were.

Principal Yan's eyes turned cold. "Cripple him, then hand him over to the Star Police."

Several newly enrolled students at Star Alliance Academy were killed. Although Lena helped them recover a lot, they could never reach the level they were at before they were injured, and could no longer be hunters. This turned some talented hunters into mediocre talents.

Doug didn't mind crippling him, and just as he made his move...

"Wait, let me do it," Su Ninglong said. It would be a waste not to cripple a rare test subject herself.

"Can you do it?"

“Students of the Star Alliance cannot say no.”

The three principals' visitors were all eager to see what would happen, wondering how the young girl planned to cripple him. Doug warned, "Be careful."

As Su Ninglong approached, the other person rolled their eyes, their ferocious gaze capable of frightening a child to tears.

As the target drew closer, the assassin considered the possibility of a sneak attack.

He can destroy her in just ten seconds; no child can escape.

Even if he falls into the hands of the Star Police, he cannot be sentenced to life imprisonment.

After all, what he did was not murder, but injury, and it did not cause irreversible damage to the human body.

Just as he was contemplating whether to complete the task in front of everyone, Su Ninglong came up to him and placed her small hand on his arm.

The killer's lips curled into a triumphant smile, and the badge on his cuff flashed with silver light.

His smile suddenly froze, and he opened his mouth in horror.

The newly transformed abilities were pushed back into the body, flowing upwards against the current.

The middle-aged man convulsed all over, his eyes rolled back, and soon, blood was flowing from every pore of his body. His meridians were all disordered, and his dantian was burned to ashes, unable to absorb spiritual energy automatically again.

Su Ninglong thoroughly examined the body of the strangler and reluctantly stopped. The bodies of interstellar people were not much different from those of people in the cultivation world. The difference was probably in the way they used spiritual power. They seemed to have specific channels for channeling their power, which resulted in their abilities being relatively limited.

The higher their strength, the more methods they can develop, all leading to the same goal. However, their souls are not sufficiently tempered, and entering the Nascent Soul stage will be fraught with great risk.

No wonder Principal Yan, a five-star hunter, is close to the Nascent Soul stage, while Yun Fei, a four-star hunter, is only at the Core Formation stage. For these special ability users, advancement could mean death.

Su Ninglong took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from her fingertips, and her indifferent attitude chilled the three visitors present.

They had originally intended to take her on as an apprentice, but her actions made them instantly back out.

No matter how great the potential, you can't take in a cold-blooded monster.

Principal Yan clicked his tongue under his beard, his eyes crinkling slightly. This kid was definitely doing it on purpose.

The killer was covered in blood, and Lei Qingya suspected that Su Ninglong had sent her here just to get rid of this idiot who dared to make a move on her.

"Kid, what are these conditions you can't refuse?" Doug cut to the chase; if he wasn't satisfied, he'd be the first to get out.

"You said you came here to choose one or two successors, so of course I want someone you can't refuse."

"You're not referring to yourself, are you?"

"You wish! I already have a master." Old Ancestor Su doesn't need a master; who would dare to kneel before her?

Su Ninglong pointed at Lei Qingya, "She, she is a newly promoted special ability user, a multi-ability user."

Su Ninglong didn't have time to guide Lei Qingya, but these old folks could. They could achieve the same goal through different paths. She only needed to teach Lei Qingya the cultivation methods, and then they could pass on their experience to him.

With a master by his side, Lei Qingya will inevitably come into contact with more polluted areas, which will train his mind and body, allowing him to grow up quickly.

Principal Yan sat with his upper body leaning forward, sizing up Lei Qingya.

The others were surprised; the Star Alliance had another treasure hidden away?
Under the pressure of so many powerful figures' gazes, Lei Qingya straightened his back and tried his best to remain calm so that he wouldn't faint.

"What are your abilities?" Doug couldn't help but ask Lei Qingya.

Lei Qingya, a first-level Qi Refining cultivator, said nervously, "As long as I master your energy circulation methods, I can use them all. However, my abilities are biased towards fire and wood attributes, so I will comprehend fire and wood abilities faster."

This is what Su Ninglong told her: the advantage of being a cultivator is that you can freely choose the direction you like to cultivate.

However, there are limitations. For example, if she wants to use "water" magic, it will be a beat slower to cast unless she practices regularly. But Su Ninglong thinks it's unnecessary. As long as you know how to use it, that's enough. People can get more positive feedback by making the most of their strengths.

The three visitors gasped in shock. "There's someone with this kind of ability?"
This is no longer called a treasure, it's a treasure trove.

As expected of a star alliance that recruits students from across the entire galaxy.

"Could you demonstrate?"

Lei Qingya glanced at Su Ninglong, and seeing her nod slightly, she selected the Flame Technique, the Concealing Breath Technique, and the Light Sphere Technique.

The flames and light spheres were easy to detect, but the Concealing Breath technique surprised everyone. Lei Qingya seemed to have erased his own presence, sitting there completely unnoticed.

Their eyes were involuntarily drawn to the strangler on the ground, and they tried to ignore her.

Unfortunately, none of the spells could last. "I'm sorry, my current abilities are insufficient to demonstrate for an extended period."

Being able to use all abilities means being able to adapt to anyone's teachings.

“Okay, okay…” Doug couldn’t help but say, “What do you think of me? I am Doug, known as the King of the Night.”

The surprise came too quickly. In the past, Lei Qingya would have agreed immediately, but she was Su Ninglong's assistant.

The mark made her soul yearn to be closer to Su Ninglong than to these powerful figures.

“Doug, that’s not very kind of you,” said the burly, silver-haired man. “I am Yuan Tingchao. You should have heard of me.”

"And then there's me, Ren Bing, who has some experience in healing marks." The last one had deep, ocean-blue eyes with only a few fine lines at the corners, and her every move was very elegant.

Lei Qingya was stunned, while Su Ninglong whispered to the principal, "Are they all very capable? Are they as capable as you?"

Principal Yan almost burst out laughing. All three were five-star hunters, but they had only recently advanced. They wanted to find successors because they all felt they had reached a bottleneck, and it was very difficult to go any further.

I want to find someone to inherit all my knowledge first, and then look for ways to break through.

If there weren't competitors present, they wouldn't have rushed to express their opinions; instead, they would have investigated Lei Qingya's background first.

Lei Qingya is no longer a three-year-old child. Her upbringing and development are crucial, but unfortunately, there is only one Lei Qingya, so they need to try to win her over.

This opportunity won't come again.
