Traveling through the second dimension, the joy system encourages me to laugh heartily!

Lu Ge felt awe in his heart: He is worthy of being known as the strongest man in the Tuhad family - Qian Tuhad!

In reality, Lu Ge wasn't incapable of doing the same. He inherited his father's knowledge and possessed assassination skills amassed in past lives. He was even confident that his understanding of the human body surpassed his father's!

The problem is, his father can not only read his premonitions, but also create false ones to deceive him! Simply put, Qi'an predicted that Lu Ge would predict his premonitions! When Lu Ge tried to create confusion and set traps, his father inexplicably saw through his carefully disguised "feints", as if he were completely transparent to him.

Is it a gap in experience?

Lu Ge thought bitterly, the pride he had held as a top assassin in his previous life now wavering. But precisely because of this, a burning fire ignited in Lu Ge's eyes—he still had enormous room for improvement, and could become even stronger! How lucky he was to be Qian Tuhade's child!

His mindset quickly adjusted. Lu Ge closed his eyes, abandoning the thought of attacking proactively—that would only fall into his father's web of prediction. He chose to remain still, focusing his attention on his five senses, like a rock, quietly awaiting the hunter's next strike.

coming!

Two cold and fierce murderous intentions locked onto him from different directions almost at the same time!

The first dagger tore through the air, whistling towards him! Lu Ge turned sideways and swung his arm to block it, knocking it away.

At the delicate moment when his old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated, the second dagger came silently and lightning-fast from the blind spot with a more tricky angle!

Relying on his extraordinary body flexibility and reaction nerves, Lu Ge twisted his body in an extremely awkward posture to dodge at the critical moment, and the blade brushed past his clothes!

However, Lu Ge clearly sensed that these two fatal attacks were just feints!

The real decisive blow comes from above the head!

Qi An held the knife in his backhand and, with extremely precise calculations, silently flew down from the dense treetops! His timing was so accurate that it completely blocked Lu Ge's space to dodge!

What was even more terrifying was that before launching this attack, it completely wiped out all of its own breath and movement, forming a perfect coordination with the two previous feint knives that deliberately released murderous intent!

There is no way to avoid it!

In this life-or-death moment, Lu Ge made the most essential decision for an assassin! He gave up his futile dodging and twisted his body with the smallest movement, causing the blade that was originally piercing his heart to pierce his left shoulder with a "whoosh"!

Ignoring the pain, he used the third hidden knife to press against the carotid artery on the side of his father's neck.

【Finally, I won.】

Lu Ge declared while suppressing the strong feeling of nausea and dizziness - his father had indeed mercilessly coated even his own weapon with deadly poison!

If Lu Ge had no resistance to this series of toxins, he would have fallen to the ground due to the poison before he could make a comeback.

It was a truly merciless test.

"So that's what happened. I can't stand it, losing to an 11-year-old... and getting let down. I pride myself on being the greatest Tuhade of all time."

Qi'an drew out his dagger, asked Lu Ge to drink the antidote, and cast magic to help him heal his injuries.

I didn't let you down.

"You only used your magic power to strengthen to a level equal to mine, without using any magic. Isn't that called letting me win?"

"Because doing so would render this battle meaningless. Dad said that while this is training, it's also a test. If I win by overwhelming you with massive magical firepower, I won't be able to break Dad's attack. That wouldn't count as training."

That's right, Qi'an had specifically stated from the beginning that this was training, even going so far as to mention that winning or losing wasn't relevant. The implication was clearly that Lu Ge wasn't about winning in combat, but rather learning the technique through training.

Qi An smiled happily when he heard this.

"You're right. I'm glad you understood what I meant when I mentioned 'this is training, but it's also a test.' That's the aptitude I'm trying to assess in this test, not victory or defeat... For an assassin, the most important thing is to never lose sight of your goal. If you only think about defeating me, I'll conclude you're unqualified... Luke, then I have nothing left to teach you."

[No, I'm not that accomplished yet. I still can't beat Dad in terms of skills. I just won the bet by destroying myself and myself.]

I've taught you everything I can, and you're capable of practicing it. All that's left is experience. From now on, you'll have to make your own progress, seeking the nutrients you need to grow stronger... As promised, I'll give you a final test. That test will allow you to gain strength beyond combat.

……

Chen Ming benefited a lot from watching Lu Ge and his father fight with real swords and guns.

He felt that he was still not ruthless enough and needed to practice more with the girls in the harem...

After routinely checking the Sky Eye satellite surveillance footage of Lu Ge, Chen Ming checked the surveillance footage of the brave Epona.

I saw that Epona was also fighting, and her opponents were a large number of monsters.

This immediately cheered up Chen Ming - the opportunity to repay a favor he had been waiting for for a long time had come!

PS: First of all, I would like to state that the following is written in the author’s words and does not count as a word.

World No. 1?

?1: Head Maid, Alpha

2: Magical Mentor, Elise (Legendary King of Endurance)

?3: The original heroine, Taldo

?4: The original heroine, Ma He

?5: The original heroine, Tia

6: Purple-haired sister, Meijia

7: Purple-haired sister, Meimi

8: Female Hero, Epona

9: Maids: Little Amy, twin girls Susie and Sophie, Anne, Lilia, Arlene, Yuna...

Chapter 188: Evenly matched opponents

Chen Ming once posted a question on the main world's website, asking how to get along well with the hero in "The World's Top Assassin, Reincarnated as a Noble in Another World".

Some netizens suggested that he should just go and snatch the person away. After all, the female hero was only one year old at the time and didn't remember anything, so he could definitely cultivate feelings for her from a young age.

But this matter cannot be resolved by force. If Chen Ming forcibly breaks into her house and snatches her away, he will be no different from a human trafficker.

When she awakens her brave talent, she will have 30 S-level and A-level skills. What if one of them can trace back her memory and let her recall her childhood memories?

Then the first person she would kill would be Chen Ming. Wouldn't that be shooting herself in the foot?

So in the end, Chen Ming decided to start from the original plot and find an opportunity to show her kindness!

The turning point in the fate of the brave warrior Epona at this moment is Chen Ming's first opportunity to show mercy:

In the original work, this time the monsters attacked on an unprecedented scale, not only in large numbers but also very powerful.

Epona fought a bitter and bloody battle with the Knights. As time passed, a strange, burning emotion spread like wildfire in her chest, and an ominous dark red quietly seeped into the edge of her vision.

Finally, the dam of reason completely broke, and the violent torrent of power swept away everything. She indulged in the joy of destroying the world, her vision turned red, and she became the disaster itself.

When the crimson frenzy finally receded, Epona came back to his senses and found that the battlefield was horribly silent and all the monsters had disappeared!

This battle became the glorious achievement of the brave Epona - even if the entire strength of the Knights were deployed, the monster army would be overwhelmed, but it was annihilated with only "minor" sacrifices.

However, Epona discovered that not only the monsters disappeared, but also the knights who had fought with her.

Panic washed over her like ice water, she staggered and searched frantically among the corpses, and finally found Mirei - Mirei was a gentle and beautiful person. When Epona awakened his brave talent, it was Mirei who rushed to Epona's side first.

Mirei brought Epona to the royal capital, taught Epona many things even though she knew nothing, and loved and praised her... This made Epona regard Mirei as her real sister.

In the capital, Epona's life was smooth, she grew stronger and wiser. If a monster appeared, she would go and fight it, and every time she defeated it, she would be praised by Mirei... Being needed by everyone was so fulfilling, Epona became arrogant and carried away by her success.

Yet, at this moment, Mirei lay quietly in the cold mud, her eyes, once filled with smiles, forever devoid of their luster. Blood soaked through her armor, congealing into a glaring dark red.

Seeing Mirei like that, the feeling of beating Mirei was revived in Epona's hands.

She did it.

When Epona started to wipe out the monsters, Mirei was affected.

Only that feeling remains!

Epona's misfortune was that she was gifted with the power of a hero while still a mortal. She was burdened with an uncontrollable bomb, yet she was unaware of it.

For Epona, this was something he would regret for the rest of his life.

But for Chen Ming, it is a perfect opportunity to show kindness!

So we can see the opening of this plot through the Sky Eye satellite surveillance footage!

Chen Ming knew that the opportunity to repay a favor he had been waiting for had come!

So he watched the battle on the screen intently while casting various enhancement spells on himself.

"Endless earth, hold up your boundless chest and build a wall so high that it makes the world sigh..."

As a high-pitched chant sounded, the imperial-level defensive magic began to take effect.

Wall of Sighs

The next moment, an ochre-colored light rushed out from his body and instantly condensed into a translucent crystal wall surrounding his body, on which flowed the veins of ancient mountains and the thick lines of the earth.

This is naturally magic from World No. 2.

Because the Goddess deliberately set up World No. 1 to be invincible for the Hero and the Demon King, even the strongest magic that humans can learn cannot harm the Hero and the Demon King in the slightest.

But the magic system of World 2 has no restrictions.

The most powerful magic in World No. 1 is only at the peak intermediate level in World No. 2, and there are also advanced, saint, king, emperor, and god levels!

According to Chen Ming's estimation, the emperor-level magic should be enough to confront the brave man head-on!

But this is just the beginning.

Knowing that he was about to face a humanoid walking disaster, Chen Ming's steady character made it impossible for him to rush into the battle with only an emperor-level defensive magic.

Excuse me, brave man, please allow me to prepare a little more before the battle begins!

Thinking of this, Chen Ming continued to cast different spells:

"call--!"

The clear sound of wind sounded, and [Dance of Heavenly Wind] transformed into countless light blue lights that wrapped around the body, increasing the speed and the limit of dodging.

Then, the [Water Bloom Sky Curtain] gently draped over like azure silk, providing a flexible cushion and elemental affinity;

[Fire Spirit Armor] ignites a layer of blazing golden-red flames on the body surface that is not self-destructive, burning away any possible erosion.

Earthy yellow, cyan, golden red... the dazzling elemental light shone brightly on his body. [Primordial Magnetism] stirred ripples in space, [Forest Song] brought vibrant greenery, [Resurrection of All Things] strengthened his self-healing abilities, and [Ice Crystal Illusion] cast a series of icy mirror images around him, each difficult to distinguish between true and false...

[Cang Lei Domain], [Revelation], [Guardian Holy Spirit], [Blessing of the Magic Chanter], [Infinite Barrier], [Magic Barrier: Holy], [Life Essence], [Emperor-level Full Ability Enhancement], [False Intelligence: Life], [Insight], [Supernatural Intuition], [Emperor-level Resistance Enhancement], [Chaos Cloak], [Unyielding Will], [Dragon Power]...

Just like that, countless almost endless magic spells surrounded Chen Ming's whole body.

However, the powerful magic fluctuations generated by the enhancement magic he cast attracted Elise, who was playing games with Taldo, Maho, and Tia.

"Ming, what are you doing?"

She looked at the layers of magical light on Chen Ming's body, which were bizarre yet harmonious and unified. These magics were very different from those in World No. 1 and were full of unknown charm.

Elise, who has always been interested in magic, was very curious!

"As you can see, this hero seems to be losing control," Chen Ming explained, pointing to the Sky Eye satellite surveillance footage in front of him. "Leaving her alone will only lead to more irreparable tragedies. I intend to intervene and prevent this senseless massacre, but I need to make some preparations in advance..."

He paused, his tone softening. "If you're interested in the magic I perform, I'll come back and teach you!"

Hearing that Chen Ming was going to face the out-of-control hero, the curiosity about the new magic in Ai Lixi's eyes was instantly replaced by deep worry.

"I understand the need to stop the hero from losing control, because leaving her alone is indeed the worst option...but..."

She frowned slightly and eagerly proposed a better solution, "Why do we have to fight head-on? You can use teleportation to move everyone else on the battlefield away. This way you can protect the innocent and avoid the risk of direct conflict with the heroes!"

Chen Ming stopped chanting magic, and he was surrounded by the glow of dozens of enhancing magics, making him look like a god descending to the earth.

He turned around and gently smoothed the wrinkles between Ellish's brows, his eyes frank and firm:

"You're right, that's indeed the safer approach... But I just witnessed another real-life duel, and I'm deeply aware that while my strength has been amassed, the experience of actual combat isn't enough. So, I need a sufficiently strong 'grindstone,' an opponent of equal strength, to hone my combat skills under the pressure of life and death!"

As he spoke, Chen Ming's mind flashed back to the thrilling competition between Lu Ge and his son, in which their skills reached the pinnacle!

It was precisely because of their influence that Chen Ming, contrary to his usual practice, gave up his prudent strategy and chose to confront them head-on!

After confirming that there was a look of understanding in Ai Lixi's eyes, Chen Ming continued:

"And the brave Epona is a very suitable touchstone for me!"

Of course, Chen Ming is not someone who would blindly take risks without any recklessness!

He dared to compete with the brave, not only because his own strength was strong enough, but also because he possessed the [Glorious Moon Golden Body], [Still Pocket Watch], [Wings of Light], [Cross of Rebirth] and other system props as his ultimate trump cards!

These props can ensure that he will not die even if he is defeated!

Elise stared at the burning, unshakable determination in his eyes and knew that persuasion was futile.

She suddenly threw herself into Chen Ming's arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist, her voice trembling slightly: "...Ming, I understand. Go do what you should do." She raised her head, her blue eyes filled with an inextricable pleading, "But please, please make a promise with me - come home safely!"

Chen Ming lowered his head and looked into her eyes earnestly, as if to imprint this promise deep into her soul. Then he nodded solemnly: "I have a promise with you. I will stop the hero's rampage, and then..." He gently hugged her back, as if drawing strength from it, "I will return here again, back to you.
