"Nonsense!" Jiang Shaoxu said irritably.
"You're my man, how could I not worry about you?"
"Don't worry, no one dares to touch me," Lu Cheng said.
Jiang Shaoxu paused for a moment, then said, "That seems to be true."
Her family had previously been in a state of neither supporting nor opposing her relationship with Lü Cheng, seemingly because Lü Cheng's situation was somewhat troublesome, not too troublesome, but still troublesome nonetheless.
She didn't know exactly how troublesome it was, but if her family considered it troublesome and were unwilling to tell her directly, it was probably quite troublesome, even the kind of thing that would be a catastrophe for most people.
But seeing that she liked Lü Cheng quite a bit at the time, her family didn't force her to say anything against it, but just told her to observe him first.
But before her training at the Nationalist government began, her father told her, "Go for it if you like it."
It seems the troubles have been resolved, at least the domestic ones.
"By the way, how did you manage to use mind magic on those policemen at the port?" Jiang Shaoxu pressed close to him, her big eyes looking innocently at Lü Cheng.
"Can you teach me?"
Lu Cheng's eye twitched slightly. "You can't learn it."
That was taught to him by Jiuyou. It not only requires strong mental power, but also top-notch control as support. With that one glance, he actually instilled a false message into those people, making them think that they had already been checked.
In his previous life, Jiuyou Hou possessed a forbidden mental spell. If he hadn't had a powerful mental talent with innate control, plus an ancient king-level forbidden mental magic experience pack, he would never have been able to learn it in such a short time. Jiang Shaoxu is only a high-level mage; it would be a miracle if she could learn it.
"How do you know I can't learn it if you haven't even taught me?" Jiang Shaoxu said pitifully.
"Don't you love me anymore? Do you find me unattractive?"
"Ah—my life is so miserable..."
As she spoke, Jiang Shaoxu's eyes actually turned red.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Lü Cheng quickly covered Jiang Shaoxu's mouth.
"I'll teach you, okay?"
"Mm!" Jiang Shaoxu nodded innocently.
"I knew you still loved me!"
"Love you!"
……
Spurred on by high-level resources, the group rushed directly to Naval Battle City after arriving in Tokyo. It was a huge fortress built on the coast that withstood towering waves and countless sirens.
"It doesn't feel any different from other cities," Jiang Shaoxu said.
There are streets, markets, residential buildings, and shops, but not the monster corpses that I had imagined.
“It’s fake,” Nan Jue said.
"These things you see are all used as bait."
"A bait?" Jiang Shaoxu was taken aback.
“The siren’s attack is unavoidable. The only thing humanity can do is to keep the battlefield in a definite area as much as possible,” Nan Jue said.
"I came here with a Kuomintang agent a few years ago. All these things you see now are used to attract sea monsters. Luckily, the tide hasn't come in yet, otherwise, it wouldn't be impossible for monsters to be everywhere!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a loud bang was heard, and everyone instinctively covered their ears as a huge rock fell from the sky and flew toward them.
"Get out of the way!!!" a young man with blond hair shouted from the roadside.
But Mo Fan and his group didn't react at all, they didn't even try to run, as if they were stunned by fear.
Seeing this, the blond-haired guy, being a hero, rode the wind rails and rushed over, most likely intending to play the hero and save the damsel in distress.
But just halfway through the flight, a baffling scene unfolded.
The massive rock that had been hurtling towards them came to a stop in mid-air, without moving forward an inch.
"Space...space system?"
Pedestrians on the roadside looked astonished, their eyes unconsciously filled with excitement and agitation.
The probability of encountering a space-type mage outside is about the same as winning the lottery!
"Making a fuss over nothing," Zhao Manyan said, somewhat annoyed.
I wasn't scared by the stone, but I was startled by the guy's shout.
Do you even know what a sense of security is?
Standing next to Lü Cheng, he could remain calm even if the emperor himself came!
"It's your turn to perform." Lü Cheng hurled the boulder at the sea monster that was perched on a tall building in the distance.
At the same time, broadcast warnings echoed through the sky.
"Uh... Commander-level, shall we perform?" Zhao Manyan's eye twitched slightly.
"What else?" Lü Cheng walked towards the tallest building in the area.
"Keep it up, this is the test that will determine whether you can stay in the team. I don't expect you to beat the commander, but at least, don't die."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Cheng lightly leaped and, under the bewildered gazes of the pedestrians on the ground, jumped to the most conspicuous high point of the fortress.
"He...is he out of his mind?" The blond-haired guy from before looked completely bewildered.
Exposing yourself in a conspicuous position on the battlefield is tantamount to suicide!
"Are you out of your mind?" Zhao Manyan asked with a strange expression.
"Who are you talking about?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a giant blue shrimp, dissatisfied with the humans' disregard for its existence, launched an attack on Lü Cheng, who was high up.
Bang!
A sound similar to a watermelon exploding rang out, and the giant shrimp that was rushing towards Lü Cheng was crushed halfway by an invisible pressure, exploding into a bloody mist.
Blood rained down, and the entire fortress battlefield fell silent.
"A super...super-level mage?" The blond-haired boy was stunned.
A commander who can command in an instant, and in such an exaggerated way at that—a legendary space-type super-level mage!
"Could he... already be at the Great Realm?" Ai Jiangtu's eye twitched slightly.
His fourth-realm spiritual power, enhanced by his spatial abilities, only granted him the ability to fight against commanders. This ability, however, could directly crush a commander...
"The truth is a bit shocking, so I'd better not say it," Jiang Shaoxu said.
Peak of the Eighth Realm!
His mental strength surpassed that of the vast majority of high-level mages!
They really grew up eating stone!
"Shall we just start fighting?" Mo Fan couldn't contain himself any longer.
"You're talking back when I say you're brainless!" Zhao Manyan said, speechless.
This is a fucking battlefield!
battlefield!
Do you even know what a battlefield is?!
On the battlefield, the most important thing is to stay alive!
Once your magic power is depleted, even a mere servant-level siren could devour you alive!
"Let's see how things go first," Ai Jiangtu said.
"If no more leaders emerge, we will make our move."
Of the two commanders that had just appeared, one was crushed by Lü Cheng. The other has become more cautious, but it's uncertain whether there are more hidden sea monsters. If we act rashly, we'll be in trouble if we get surrounded by them.
"Stop looking, there are no other sea monsters here, just this one," Lu Cheng said, looking at the few small blood beads on his hand.
The essence of the shrimp is all here, but unfortunately, it didn't explode into a true essence; there's only a fragment.
"You guys need to hurry, this is a commander-level sea monster, it's very valuable."
With that, Lü Cheng swallowed one of the blood orbs in front of him.
"The seafood does taste a little different..."
"Would you like a bite?" Lü Cheng asked Baxia, who was standing to the side.
“These shrimp don’t taste good. I’ll take you to the deep sea area sometime; the seafood there tastes much better,” Baxia said after taking a bite.
"There are also some fish whose meat only reaches its peak quality after you take control of them. However, those fish are too fast. I used to be able to catch one by myself after a long time. If you come with me, you should be able to catch quite a few."
Lu Cheng nodded, "Yoshi, Baxia-jun, in the future, we'll be relying on you to lead the way in our conquest of the oceans."
"I'll lead the way, you won't eat me, will you?" Baxia asked with some concern.
"How could that be?" Lü Cheng patted Baxia's tortoise shell.
"I am not the kind of person who would abandon someone after they have served me. Those who have worked with me know that as long as you do your job well, you will be promoted to a high position in no time."
"There will be milk, and there will be bread."
