Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 161 Defeat and Shame
Assassins are indeed adept at hiding in complex terrain and striking their enemies from the shadows.

However, this does not mean that assassins are good at finding enemies hiding in the shadows.

An assassin's perception ability is, at best, mediocre compared to other professions.

The profession that truly perceives power is that of an observer.

when!
Leng Qingying felt a cold wind blowing from behind her!

He suddenly turned around, trying to catch the attack!
But one turn!

And then I discovered it was just a bubble that had vanished before my eyes!
Leng Qingying immediately switched places!
Swish!
Switch with the phantom and hide yourself next to a tree.

...We must first determine Lu Cang's location.

Leng Qingying's aura gradually faded, and she entered a state of extremely low presence.

The other phantoms, however, moved around much more dramatically.

They are chasing after those illusions, creating a huge commotion.

The illusion attracts attention.

The true form, however, lies dormant.

In fact, her illusions also possess almost the same destructive power as her original form.

In the vast majority of cases.

The real body doesn't even need to show up; as long as the real body remains hidden, the phantom can complete the assassination mission without any danger.

Furthermore, phantoms can be generated out of thin air within a radius of one kilometer, within a perceptible range.

In theory, Phantom could even pass through walls and enter heavily guarded rooms.

There is no need to go through numerous traps and guards.

Furthermore, the real body and the phantom switch positions with each other in complex terrains, such as houses, forests, and intricate structures.

Leng Qingying is practically invincible.

rather say……

She was always supposed to be invincible among those of the same level, and she always should have been like that before Lu Cang appeared.

until.

"Hey, who are you waiting for?"

Leng Qingying trembled as she felt a hand land on her shoulder.

Swish!
The dagger sliced ​​through!

when!
However, this hasty backhand slash brought a tingling, trembling sensation.

The dagger struck Lu Cang's fair and delicate hand.

It can't even break through the skin?

What kind of body is this?
Could this be a magician's body?
Swish!
Lu Cang flipped his small hand and grabbed Leng Qingying's dagger.

Leng Qingying wanted to switch places with the other phantoms immediately.

But suddenly he realized that in the instant he retaliated against Lu Cang, the other eight phantoms in the other directions were all eliminated by Lu Cang at the same time!
How did you do it?
Lu Cang grabbed Leng Qingying's dagger and spun it around suddenly.

call!
Leng Qingying spun around in mid-air like a top.

Swish!
Leng Qingying activated her assassination technique and instantly appeared behind Lu Cang.

But he found that Lu Cang's face was still facing him.

I should have moved behind him, right?
Did he just turn around at the same time?
Is it really that fast?
Lu Cang watched Leng Qingying's movements as if they were in slow motion, frame by frame.

Perhaps, the God of War felt the same way when he fought him.

Now that he has leveled up his warriors, Lu Cang realizes how slow he was back then.

At that time, my thinking speed was fast enough, but my spellcasting speed was barely fast enough.

However, the speed of the body lags far behind.

Now that my body can keep up, I can truly feel... extreme speed.

"For an assassin... this is too slow."

"If that's all there is to it, I wouldn't feel comfortable letting you do things for me."

Lu Cang's voice came through the wind.

Leng Qingying's dagger had already been thrust out.

Lu Cang reached out and grabbed Leng Qingying's arm, pulling her forcefully.

boom!
He forcefully slammed Leng Qingying to the ground.

In fact, Lu Cang also wanted to test the actual combat effectiveness of his Ten Thousand Battles Body.

It's just that Leng Qingying is too slow.

If I were to hurt her, it would be as if I were the one poking her.

Currently, Lu Cang's experiments on the Wan Zhan Jue Ti experiment are limited to him injuring himself.

He has never been injured in actual combat.

Swish!
Leng Qingying, who was hit on the ground, disappeared almost instantly.

Lu Cang used his senses to look around.

Seeing that she had switched places with another phantom in the distance, she fled to a faraway place.

Generating a phantom requires a process.

This process, it probably takes about half a second...

and.

The senses immediately picked up on more phantoms that appeared in succession.

The first phantom lasts for half a second, followed by a whole host of phantoms appearing within a second.

Lu Cang pointed out.

Two beams of light shot out from the source, instantly killing seven phantoms, leaving only one still fleeing at an extremely fast speed.

Swish!
The moment the other seven phantoms were destroyed, new phantoms began to appear one after another.

All that remains is a phantom.

Wouldn't the other phantoms take more than half a second to generate?
Lu Cang was pondering this in his heart.

He was exploring Leng Qingying's talent.

Leng Qingying, however, seemed to have seen a ghost.

This guy.

What is going on?
Having barely escaped, the moment he summoned eight phantoms, seven of them, located in different directions, were instantly killed.
Why did my advantages as an assassin seem to disappear in front of him?

Swish!
Isn't it said that assassins counter mages?

Where exactly is the restraint?

call out--

A streak of light flashed by in an instant!
Lu Cang and Leng Qingying's steps were almost synchronized; the two were running in sync.

However, Leng Qingying was fleeing, while Lu Cang was in pursuit.

And at this moment.

wow——

Leng Qingying disappeared from Lu Cang's sight.

They couldn't even grasp their own sense of closure.

Lu Cang immediately stopped in his tracks.

Spread your perception from the spot.

They had completely vanished without a trace; only eight other phantoms could be seen, reappearing in different corners.

This move is not about becoming invisible.

It was like the first time he met Leng Qingying, and this was her last attack on him.

It appeared overhead without warning.

It was only when the final senses gave me an extremely strong premonition of danger that I realized the danger was approaching.

I hadn't noticed it at all before.

This must be her reflection.

Swish!
Eight phantom figures attacked from different directions!
Each phantom suddenly disappears from a distance and then reappears out of thin air in different locations.

Each phantom was unleashing an assassination strike.

However, they are not within the attack range of these phantoms.

An extremely strong sense of crisis came from directly above!

"The ultimate killing technique—lost in this realm."

"Lost in this Realm - The Final Slash"

Lu Cang sensed the impending crisis above him.

Formless...without substance, it neither stirs up a breeze nor creates any spatial impact.

It's as if they don't exist in this world at all.

Only a strong intuition warned Lu Cang that an attack was about to come from above.

There were no other signs.

Try a direct hit.

Lu Cang swallowed a pill from his mouth, simultaneously pushing his body's defenses to their limit.

Lu Cang let out a soft shout: "Ha!"

【Battle Cry: Hardened Glass Body (LV: 301) - Extreme hardening, shock absorption, full-body defense, extreme physical defense enhancement, instantaneous hardness enhancement, longer duration, super resistance to slashing attacks, super resistance to thrusting attacks】

In that instant, Lu Cang's body hardened, as if reflecting a glass-like light!

when!
Lu Cang felt a swift and fierce attack touch the top of his head!
It struck the glass-like strands of hair!
It produced a clanging sound!
However, perception still failed to detect anything!
stab-

I felt a thin spark fly from the top of my head!
A figure fell backward.

Leng Qingying clutched her wrist, which was numb.

It's too hard to cut!
Leng Qingying was quite confident in the destructive power of this attack, but why did it fail to break through her defenses even though it was slashed down from above her head and hit her body?

puff!
While doubts were still arising in my mind.

She felt a warm sensation in her abdomen, and before she knew it, a beam of light had pierced through it.

It has already caused a fatal injury.

Lu Cang defeated Leng Qingying once again.

He silently marveled: That was truly a powerful blow...

Its strength lies not in its lethality, but in its complete disappearance and inability to be detected.

Until the attack was fully completed, Lu Cang's senses did not detect Leng Qingying's presence.

How terrifying!

"The gap between us is too big now, do you still want to continue?"

Leng Qingying's fatal wound has healed after the battle ended.

Looking at the boy in front of him now.

There was only one feeling in my heart.

There's no way I can beat him.

"But I want to become stronger."

Lu Cang: "Hmm..."

Lu Cang could understand this feeling. In this magical world, strength that transcends everything is the most important thing.

If reasoning doesn't work, then use your fists to break the ice.

When you want to reason, then reason.

If someone is being unreasonable to you, you can slap them to shut them up.

Lu Cang understood this principle very well, which is why he was so determined to become stronger.

"So, did you gain anything?"

Leng Qingying looked at Lu Cang, but then shook her head blankly. "Becoming stronger isn't something you can achieve by constantly losing."

"If fighting doesn't bring you any gains, then there's no point in becoming stronger."

Lu Cang looked towards the audience seats.

"I think there's a good opponent for you."

Xu Zhou sensed Lu Cang's gaze and appeared in the arena from the stage.

"What is it?"

When Leng Qingying arrived, she saw Xu Zhou, but she only had eyes for Lu Cang and didn't pay any attention to this ugly guy.

“Void creature, a level 4 Origin Mage.”

"It's my good brother with whom I share insights on the origins of things. It should have just been promoted to a level 4 mage."

"The two of you should be a good match."

"After all... it's too easy for me to beat you guys, and you haven't improved at all when you fight me."

……

On both Leng Qingying's and Xu Zhou's faces, the veins throbbed slightly.

This guy……

Too arrogant.

However, it must be admitted that Lu Cang is ridiculously strong.

"Why don't you try sparring?"

Lu Cang made the suggestion.

Leng Qingying looked at the ugly thing, then at Lu Cang, and nodded.

Xu Zhou: "I have no problem with that. Rather, I'm quite curious about this little guy's strength."

Lu Cang nodded.

He then retreated to the audience seats.

Call ~
This time, the map is a snowy, icy region...

Map, icy and snowy region.

It seems that the previous battles had dealt Leng Qingying a heavy blow, and she is no longer arrogant enough to fight on maps with no cover.

Leng Qingying's biggest thought right now is to win a game.

Swish!
Swish Swish Swish Swish——

Xu Zhou walked in the void, his figure appearing and disappearing between reality and reality!

Its magic rained down on Leng Qingying!
however……

Whoosh!
All that could be seen were chaotic, flickering, and flying figures!

Leng Qingying's figure shifted back and forth among the phantoms; the magic swept across, but it only swept across her phantoms!
The surrounding area flashed repeatedly!

when!
But the cold light around him was like a venomous snake, relentlessly pursuing him!

What a great speed!

What a fierce attack!

hum!
With one step, he traversed a vast space, but as soon as he appeared in the real world, Leng Qingying's dagger was already slashing down his throat!

"Blade Kill - Throat Slit"

when!
Shield generated!

But the shield was immediately sliced ​​open as if it were made of paper!

puff!
Xu Zhou's throat was cut!

But Leng Qingying felt as if she had cut into a dark shadow, rather than into a solid object.

Not the original body?

No... it looks like some kind of void creature.

Xu Zhou instantly escaped to a great distance!

The assassin's pursuit was terrifying!
call--

But there was absolutely no chance to catch their breath.

Almost the next second, Leng Qingying was already face to face again, and the dagger had already pierced through its body!
But this time, as the dagger pierced through his body—

puff!
A black chain also pierced through Leng Qingying's body.

Swish!
But this illusory disappearance, pierced through the body, is still just a phantom.

Xu Zhou realized a terrifying fact: he still hadn't been able to distinguish where her true form was.
rather say.

Has her main body participated in the battle from the beginning until now?
His abdomen was pierced again, and this time the blow was also carrying a very strong poison!
Xu Zhou retreated again, unleashing spells in all directions without any chanting!

boom!
The void trembles!

It shattered the illusions that were attacking from all directions!

But after the shock of this attack, the shattered phantom immediately condensed around him and attacked again!
We must use wide-range magic!
"The emptiness of nothingness, the long-waiting oblivion..."

Slit the throat!

Swish!
Without warning, without even noticing how she appeared, he found a dagger already slashed across his throat.

A single blow to the throat.

The chanting that followed was also torn apart as the dagger slashed through the air.

The chanting was interrupted.

Rather, a normal mage would have died if their throat had been slit like that.

Xu Zhou felt the poison seeping into his body, and at the same time, he was covered in wounds from being slashed so many times by Leng Qingying.

But in the end, Xu Zhou still waved his staff!
Boom! A purplish-black fissure opened up from the earth! A purplish-black wave shot out towards the sky!

"Void Eruption"

This attack was massive, covering an area with a radius of eight hundred meters.

It can be described as a devastating spell capable of annihilating a large army!
but……

Leng Qingying, however, stood calmly and inconspicuously at the edge of the magic's coverage area.

idiot……

I'm not incapable of moving.

How could you possibly hit me if you just point to a random spot like that?

Phantoms followed in the sky, chasing and fighting each other in the ruins.

Leng Qingying stood on the ground, moving slowly step by step, and Xu Zhou did not know her true location.

It had no idea where it should throw its magic to hit this damned assassin.

puff!
Then he slashed into Xu Zhou's head.

Xu Zhou's body fell from the sky.

Leng Qingying has finally won.

Having recovered from its defeat once again, Xu Zhou slowly rose from the ground.

no……

You weren't this fierce when my brother beat you up.

Seeing that his good brother had just beaten up the person who was about to beat him up, Xu Zhou was already uneasy.

And isn't this a human girl?

No, when did humans become so powerful?
I, a genius among the Void race, who is considered one of the best and most admired, get utterly crushed every time I encounter a human?
Leng Qingying thoroughly tormented Xu Zhou.

I feel much better now.

I finally regained some confidence.

It turns out I wasn't that weak after all... it's just that Lu Cang was too strong.

The battle with Lu Cang had made Leng Qingying think that she had become so weak that she couldn't beat anyone.

This ugly fellow named Xu Zhou is on friendly terms with Lu Cang, and they are even discussing the origins of things together.

Leng Qingying thought that he was a magician of the same level as Lu Cang.

Looking back now, it's just so-so...

"It seems that magical geniuses aren't so common after all."

"Have humanity's geniuses really become as common as cabbages?"

Different thoughts flashed through their minds.

After that, Xu Zhou sparred with Leng Qingying three more times.

They still get completely crushed every single time.

mainly……

Xu Zhou's magical range is not large enough, and its casting frequency is not high enough.

In less than half a second, Leng Qingying could continuously summon eight phantoms.

However, Xu Zhou did not have the ability to instantly kill Leng Qingying's eight phantoms.

Furthermore, they lacked the strong perception to locate Leng Qingying's presence.

Even Leng Qingying's "ultimate killing technique" couldn't be forced out.

He was hacked until his face was black and blue.

They lost every time.

“Lu Cang, your friend is too weak. I can’t learn anything from it…”

The battle is over.

Leng Qingying spoke to Lu Cang in front of Xu Zhou.

Xu Zhou cursed inwardly, but dared not utter a sound.

No, did you two plan this all along to humiliate me?

Leng Qingying's arrogant comments.

This resulted in another one-on-one duel with Lu Cang.

Then, Xu Zhou watched with satisfaction as Leng Qingying, who had been so arrogant just moments before, was pinned down and beaten by Lu Cang, ultimately suffering a humiliating defeat.

As the match drew to a close, Leng Qingying, kneeling on the ground, was on the verge of tears.

The battle is over.

Lu Cang left only a faint sentence: "You're about the same as it..."

"I think you're a bit too slow. Why don't you try to increase your speed?"

Leng Qingying remained silent.

Do not……

In terms of speed, she is already the fastest in the entire Assassin Academy.

Moreover, speed has always been one of her proudest advantages.

In the end, he received this kind of evaluation.

Xu Zhou also came down from the audience and gave Leng Qingying a heartfelt evaluation: "If you are weak, you need to practice more."

Ugly thing!
Why would I need your evaluation, you defeated opponent?
“Brother… I’ve recently learned a lot of void magic. Although my magical skills are not as good as yours, I have gained quite a few insights that we might be able to share.”

Lu Cang laughed and said, "It's easy. I've recently gained some new understanding of the origins and have created quite a few interesting spells."

"Today we have the perfect opportunity to exchange ideas."

They were supposed to be sparring with each other, but in the end, the two Root Mage masters just sat down on the spot and started chatting.

Leng Qingying's battle ended in a humiliating defeat...

In the end, feeling resentful and indignant, Leng Qingying chose to play ranked matches alone.

　Since the 20,000-word update schedule is not yet stable, updates will be made outside of midnight. Consider this a random bonus update that may not occur.

　　It's true that I've been sitting here from morning till night thinking and writing. Sometimes I'm not even writing the main text, but just staring blankly at the computer and looking at the outline. But spending so much time on one thing has definitely given me a lot of ideas.

　　Indeed, there's nothing you can't come up with if you're not willing to spend the time.
