1195: Chapter 1181: Setting Out 1195: Chapter 1181: Setting Out “Will she succeed?”
“Heaven knows, but right now it seems like ‘the gods’ are indeed on her side, at least the initial stage should go smoothly.”
Watching the girl setting out alone on the small boat, Lu Ping’an on the deck also felt somewhat sentimental.
In a sense, she was his first disciple…
He had truly taught her a lot of things, of course, it was mainly because the girl was indeed willing and able to learn.
But even so, Lu Ping’an still wasn’t optimistic about her chances, and the harder she tried, the more tragic her end might be, he feared.
“Challenging an entire world, this is really…”
“Heh, isn’t that what you forced her into?”
Lu Ping’an shrugged his shoulders, any reluctance dissipating like smoke.
He never denied his own emotions, but most of the time, his overly rational way of thinking made even Chris, who was closest to him, feel too cold.
Lu, as a member of the Long Hand Clan “slave,” shouldn’t open her eyes, and if she really did open her eyes intending to do something, it seemed like a sure path to a fate where survival was unlikely.
Lu Ping’an’s emotions might find it a pity, but his rational mind told him that providing the hopeless with channels and weapons to resist was an act of “good.”
Yet, he still prepared himself to be hated, for in his view, many people in this world are not that rational.
When trapped in bewilderment and despair, their teeth often bite down on whoever is closest.
The person who lights a guiding lamp in the darkness often receives not gratitude but blame from the masses and daggers in their back.
Some even curse why one would not let the ‘night’ continue…
Lu Ping’an was not a foolish “good person”; he was ready for all the backlash and resentment.
But then, that girl actually turned out to be like the pure-hearted warrior in storybooks.
Whatever Lu Ping’an taught, she learned; towards humans…
Lu Ping’an, she was full of trust and gratitude, making Lu Ping’an feel like he’d perhaps thought too much.
“Is this what a real country girl is like, so pure-hearted that tricking her into signing a contract makes one feel guilty?”
“But you still tricked her into signing.”
“Nonsense, otherwise my investment would have been for nothing, and her talent…”
“If she really grew up, she would be quite formidable.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t have taught her so earnestly.”
Lu Ping’an was a genius…
Maybe it’s a bit late to say this, but in terms of combat talent, real battle prowess, and even life advancement speed, Lu Ping’an has shown that he can’t be considered an ordinary person.
A normal person probably wouldn’t start slaughtering in the low-level Secret Realm just after becoming a professional, let alone easily accomplish an over-tier challenge in the Knight’s Secret Realm.
That indifference to life and instant response in battle always allowed him to exert two hundred percent of his combat power at critical moments.
The opponents who fought against him described him as “a man who does not make mistakes, and if he does do something out of the ordinary, it is often because he sees something you don’t”…
Although he always claimed he loved peace and did not like fighting, in most people’s eyes, he truly was a fighting genius.
If he were really treated as an ordinary person, that would be the greatest insult to the real ordinary people…
His vision was actually quite high; the reason he let most of his companions and subordinates fend for themselves was also that, aside from a very few, he had never counted on the combat power of others from the beginning.
But this time, facing the girl who could stand up no matter how many times she was defeated, Lu Ping’an started to feel a bit scared…
“I really didn’t expect to awaken such a ridiculous combination of abilities…”
Lu Ping’an had invested significant resources and had even set aside his other work for this period, truly taking on the role of a teacher and personally mentoring her, and at its core, she indeed did not let Lu Ping’an down.
“I won’t fall,” was Lu’s Talent Ability, which in Lu Ping’an’s view was actually quite an ordinary Talent Ability.
This Abnormal Ability is, in essence, what’s called “the triumph of the spirit,” meaning as long as she doesn’t give up, her will would bolster her body and turn into tangible combat power.
It actually is very amazing; even when facing a somewhat serious Lu Ping’an, she, covered in injuries, could still stand up again and again…
But this is basically the same as courting death, for the body will eventually surpass the limits of the spirit, and one’s Spiritual Power is always limited, meaning the boost is bound to have a ceiling.
To be honest, at that time, Lu Ping’an was a bit disappointed; he even rated her potential lower than Hua Xueyi’s, which was a below-average assessment within his team…
And the fate she was to confront was not something an ordinary person could withstand, a mission of this level was unlikely to be completed even by Lu Ping’an himself.
“Doesn’t this just highlight the absurdity of your ‘Revive’?
Your strongest ability is not about giving the opponent an extra Talent Ability or accessory but rather evolving and completing their existing Talent Ability for a second time…”
“I didn’t expect either to awaken an almost nonsensical Rule System ability like ‘Look at Me’.”
“Look at Me” was the second Talent bestowed upon Lu by Lu Ping’an’s “Revive.”
While she was still on the battlefield, all the combat power “under her command” that trusted and recognized her could link with her Spiritual Power.
In itself, it was a useless Trait; the Soldier Path has similar lower-level abilities…
but after testing, it was found that the Spiritual Power of the subordinates linked with “Look at Me” could be bolstered by her Talent Ability “I won’t fall” onto her physical body!
This meant that as long as she had subordinates on the battlefield, her Spiritual Power and combat power sustainability were almost infinite, and as her reputation and authority on the battlefield grew, her individual strength could potentially increase infinitely.
In tests, with five ordinary subordinates, her actual combat power almost reached the standard of a 2-tier professional, which is considered to have tripled at least…
This for someone who barely made it into first-tier as a fast-tracked newbie, was far too terrifying.
Clearly, she was a natural battlefield commander, and the most suitable talent for the Soldier Path.
After spending quite a bit to make her into a first-tier Spear Man and a first-tier Soldier, Lu Ping’an had to send her onto her own battlefield.
What would she encounter next?
She took with her the books, videotapes, and portable projector given by Lu Ping’an; she had learned the fighting theories and guerrilla tactics taught by Lu Ping’an; she could recite everything Lu Ping’an and he had said by heart…
This girl even made Lu Ping’an feel a bit reluctant to let her go.
But once she was truly trained, the one who would find it hardest to accept stagnation would undoubtedly be herself.
This was a young tiger; how could she be willing to stay inside a pretty and delicate Cage, especially with the smell of blood and the screams of her kin outside?
Beginning alone, she planned to start by robbing Slave Ships to rescue her people…
Lu Ping’an admired her will and courage but didn’t have much faith in her future.
“…Stop thinking about it; this is her destiny.”
Lu Ping’an sighed and couldn’t be bothered to ponder these trivial matters anymore.
If he wasn’t wrong, they might very well meet again soon.
“So, now that the work is done, it’s time to collect some rewards…”
Lu Ping’an certainly wasn’t one to work for free; from the beginning, nurturing a Savior was the “mission” he had been given.
Therefore, with the mission accomplished to this extent, Lu Ping’an naturally would claim his reward…
And for a “mission giver” with insufficient credibility, “daily settlement” made both parties more at ease.
