Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 20 A Little Talent
boom!
The Pojun Halberd used the force of splitting Mount Huashan and cut off the head of a high-level beast soldier, the Mang Niu, who was trying to escape.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground and the several beast-soldier-level monsters that had already escaped far away, Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief and was too lazy to chase them.

"The souls controlled by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner are indeed very powerful, especially when facing a siege. They are extremely useful, whether it's attacking, interfering, or monitoring.

The only downside is that when attacking, it relies entirely on brute force.

Furthermore, continuous attacks will weaken the monster's soul."

While feeling satisfied, Qin Ming also began to summarize the problems found in this battle.

The only high-level beast general soul in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was a giant bone-eating python, and the rest were medium and low-level beast generals. However, the power erupted from the souls of these beast generals surprised Qin Ming.

For example, the most direct soul attack will instantly make monsters of the same level stiffen and fall into a trance.

This kind of trance is extremely deadly in front of a psychic.

Unfortunately, these monster souls can only perform the simplest attacks. Qin Ming has tried to teach them some technical attacks, such as the mental cone thorns in "The Basics of the Mentalist".

But even the strongest bone-eating python cannot learn it.

The flying knives they controlled were extremely powerful. In terms of power alone, the flying knives controlled by the soul of a medium-sized beast were slightly stronger than those controlled by him alone.

But he also doesn't know how to attack weaknesses, he just uses force.

"Although beast general-level monsters have a certain degree of intelligence, they are still beasts after all. If they were lord-level, they might be better.

Also, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner lacks a main soul. If there were a main soul in charge, perhaps it would be able to enforce orders.

After continuous attacks, the monster's soul becomes weak, which cannot be solved for the time being unless the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is taken out to form the Netherworld Realm.

But now is not the time.”

After collecting most of the monster souls into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and leaving a few beast souls to wander around and keep watch, Qin Ming turned around and walked towards the captain and the others.

As the owner of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Qin Ming actually knew that the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was somewhat similar to a domain treasure.

If it is taken out and its power is displayed, a similar field can be formed. The souls controlled by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner within the field will be continuously replenished, and their strength will be greatly enhanced.

Until the soul power is exhausted, you can maintain peak combat power.

But even when he was alone, Qin Ming never thought of taking out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, let alone in public.

Demonstrating strength and talent will make the military pay more attention to him and gain him more resources.

There are only benefits and no harm to him.

But taking out the treasure is a test for others.

It's not that he doesn't trust the top management, this is just asking for trouble. Unless he has enough strength, he will never easily take out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner openly.

"Captain, mission accomplished!"

Qin Ming, full of blood and anger, walked up to Lu Haochuan after venting all the violence in his heart.

"Well done! No, it should be said that it is very good, so good that it is a little beyond my expectation. Your talent in psychic mastery is stronger than I thought." Lu Haochuan looked at Qin Ming, who was covered in blood, with some sigh.

As an elite high-level warrior, it was difficult for him to defeat thousands of monsters in one battle, and it would definitely take much longer than Qin Ming.

"But we still need to be careful. There's no need to confront the monster head-on. The reason we humans are able to suppress monsters is largely due to our wisdom.

A prolonged battle will drain your mental and physical energy. If a monster finds an opportunity, it will be dangerous."

"Hey, the captain is right. I am indeed a little bit drunk."

Qin Ming chuckled and did not refute.

With the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, he has no problem with consumption at all and will only become stronger with each battle. All the monster souls in the killing are devoured by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, including some of the blood and energy are also drawn into the Banner.

Being violently cut into a bloody mist by the flying knife also has its advantages, that is, when his Ten Thousand Souls Banner devours the essence of flesh and blood, no one else can notice.

Killing on the battlefield, who is not covered in blood?

But there is no need to say this.

"That's all I need to know. You can take a break first and let the people behind you collect the bodies. Then we'll continue on our way. We're about to enter the truly dangerous area."

Lu Haochuan nodded, but in his heart he no longer regarded Qin Ming as a new recruit.

In terms of strength, Qin Ming was already stronger than the other members of the team. Only he and Yue Shan could suppress him, lacking only a little experience. "Okay, okay."

Qin Ming said this as he found a random seat in the small building. With the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, he could maintain peak combat power, but the prolonged mental tension would still make him a little tired.

Now that I'm back with my teammates, and there are a few more monster souls on alert, I feel completely relaxed and instantly feel extremely comfortable.

"Qin Ming, you're amazing! I, Old Zhang, have finally seen what a genius is. Didn't you say before that you could only control six flying knives to unleash their full power? I see you've already manipulated 34 flying knives.

This is too exaggerated, how did you do it?"

Zhang Hao held the war hammer, sat down next to Qin Ming, and asked curiously.

Because there was an additional psychic in the team, he spent a lot of time learning relevant information. Most mid-level warriors could only control two full-strength bursts.

The more control you have, the more its power will drop.

34, that's just appalling.

The other teammates nearby also showed curiosity and came over.

"Well, among the spiritual master secrets I bought, there is one called "Heavenly God Atlas". Through practice, it can strengthen spiritual power and operate more flying knives.

Another thing is that I use seven-series flying knives, and these are all nine-series flying knives, so it is very easy to kill some beast-soldier-level monsters.

Of course, there's also a little bit of talent.

My mental power may be a little stronger than others, allowing me to multitask and switch between throwing knives at full power in an instant, allowing one to unleash its maximum power."

Qin Ming said casually that this was a reason he had thought of a long time ago.

Don’t ask, the answer is talent!

There are only a few top-level psychics in the whole of China, not even one at the planetary level.

Unlike the increase in strength and speed of a warrior, mental power is mysterious.

He can say whatever he wants.

At the same time, this is also a test, a test of the top management.

"A little bit of talent?"

Zhang Yan grinned, feeling a little offended.

As for the secret method Qin Ming mentioned, Fei Dao simply ignored it.

Which spiritual master doesn’t practice secret techniques and doesn’t know how to buy good throwing knives?
But there's no telling what talent is.

"It's too shocking."

Ling Qianye complained that he was the youngest in the special forces team except Qin Ming, only 25 years old, and he had always considered himself a genius.

But seeing with his own eyes that Qin Ming went from not even a warrior to being stronger than him in just over half a month, he couldn't help but feel tired.

The group was chatting on the rooftop, and not long after, a convoy arrived from the rear base, carrying a large number of engineering equipment and quickly cleaned up the monster corpses on the street.

Qin Ming also took the opportunity to return to the convoy and clean up the blood on his body.

"Let's keep going! The city is just ahead. Although we often clear this road and it's on the edge of the city, there are still a lot of monsters. We might even encounter lord-level monsters.

Next, fight in squads.

Advance slowly!"

After letting Qin Ming rest for a while and making sure that he had recovered his strength, Lu Haochuan looked into the distance with a serious expression.

All I saw were buildings that were half-distinct in the fog, and I could vaguely see the ruins of some tall buildings, from time to time I could hear the roars of monsters.

In fact, except for the area near the war base, the entire 003 city is covered in gray, and even satellites cannot penetrate it.

There are too many monsters in City 003, and lord-level monsters are entrenched there. Even a group of monsters consisting of tens of thousands of monsters is too numerous to count!

Even a powerful god of war dare not be careless.

"set off!"
