Chapter 151: Complementary
Wang Wen had just finished preparing his defense when he felt a bone-chilling coldness run down his spine.
He did not even have time to open his eyes before leaping to his feet.
The bed beneath his body exploded into pieces in less than a second.
An ice-like arm reached out from beneath the bed. After that, a beautiful woman slowly rose from the wreckage of the bed, a slightly surprised expression on her face.
A semi-circular transparent barrier appeared behind Wang Wen’s back and blocked all the flying debris. When he turned around and saw the woman, he looked surprised as well.
“I thought you were from the Tiansheng Group,” he said.
The woman smiled as she rolled her eyes. “As predicted, you were in league with the man in green!”
“Oh?” Wang Wen looked at the person across from him without batting an eyelid, his heart racing.
Even though she was severely injured, she did not die. The other party appeared to have had a fortunate encounter in the World Tower!
The woman smiled again and said, “Stop pretending. My appearance had not changed. When a normal person sees me, they will most likely ask me what happened. They would not say that I’m not from the Tiansheng Group, right? ”
Wang Wen remained silent. He gathered his spiritual power discreetly. It was difficult for him to concentrate with his eyes open. His concentration was slower, and he required more time.
But he could not care less then.
His opponent’s appearance, which was neither human nor ghostly, gave him goosebumps. He needed to get rid of her as soon as possible to feel at ease.
It was as if an ordinary person were confronted with a poisonous spider the size of a coffee table. Regardless of whether the opponent intended to attack or not, he felt uneasy.
Furthermore, the person had already attacked.
The woman had no idea why she was not anxious when Wang Wen did not speak. She said, “Except for the man in green, everyone else in the room was dead at the time. How could you possibly know what happened to me? Unless you were present at the time, or the man in green informed you of my situation, you can’t deny you know him. Tell me, how will the Tiansheng Group react if I tell them about this discovery?”
Wang Wen gathered roughly half the spiritual energy he had used in the Mage Association duel as she spoke. He was silently preparing the poison spell in his hand simultaneously.
Perhaps no one had ever used two skills to break through the mist simultaneously.
No one said that the two skills would have that additional trait.
He was not in the tower. The poison powder on his body had been depleted by the time he left the tower.
Therefore, including the time when he fought with the people from the Yuelun Group near the academy’s teleportation gate, the poison he was using then was not solid powder.
After using poison and spiritual power, Wang Wen seemed to have seen through the core essence of those two skills at the same time.
Some poisons did not necessarily require solid poison powder or medicine. Spiritual power could also be a type of poison.
The result was always the same, whether the nerves were paralyzed to cause hallucinations, cut off to stun them, or broken to kill them.
The only distinction was that.
Wang Wen’s poison techniques helped him control his spiritual power in a novel and delicate way.
It was no longer just a destructive attack.
Poisoning techniques were no longer restricted to physical powder. Poisoning people at any time and location without being noticed was extremely simple.
The two abilities complemented each other, and the magical skills appeared to have opened up a new world for Wang Wen.
He wanted to test the effects of the Broken-Might-level poison technique combined with spiritual power at the time.
There was no spiritual impact of closing and opening his eyes again, only a soft and soundless spread.
Wang Wen had severed most of the nerves in the woman opposite him by the time she seemed to notice it. She found it difficult to move or even lift her feet.
Wang Wen was pleased to see that effect.
However, when he remembered the chance encounter, he did not relax his guard. He continued to use his spiritual power to cut the woman’s nerves and attempt to sever her neck.
The woman discovered what was wrong with her body and was surprised at how quickly Wang Wen recovered.
She was still unconcerned with that. Instead, she asked, “You couldn’t do anything to me a few weeks ago. I am surprised at how quickly you completed the task. Wang Wen, you are very good at concealment. But everyone dismissed you!”
When Wang Wen realized that the other party was still fearless despite the situation, he knew something was wrong.
The other party finally began to move just as he was about to give up. He closed his eyes to try to use his mental attack.
The woman shook her neck casually, and her clothes fell to the ground, revealing her graceful body.
Wang Wen frowned as he observed her.
The temperature in the room quickly rose, and it turned red in the blink of an eye.
“Do you think you are the only one trying to stall for time?” the woman asked.
“Good, I need some time as well. Enough for now.”
Wang Wen threw out a portion of his spiritual power that he had barely managed to raise.
The front of the room, the bed, and the wall were all blown away, forming a passage that led directly to the opposite or even the opposite room.
The figure slowly rose from the ashes at the end of the passage. Her nerves, severed in such a short period, had recovered.
She did, however, appear to have expended a lot of energy. She stood up and glared at Wang Wen.
She was aware that her strategy had failed. She had intended to test the strength of her new body on the enemy, who appeared to be the most vulnerable. She had no idea that the enemy, who seemed to be at his weakest, had changed so drastically that he almost killed her!
She would have dug Zheng Xiaodong’s grave if she had known sooner!
Bang!
The sound of a pistol rang out. A series of bullets struck her body, but they were like rocks that had sunk into a swamp. After a few minutes, they lost all their kinetic energy.
How could a master manipulator only fire a few ordinary bullets?
All the bullets that had lost their kinetic energy exploded, spewing balls of invisible material that appeared to be air.
The weakened mental strength was like a lethal poison attempting to infiltrate the body and cut off the nerves.
The woman clenched her teeth and extracted the bullet. She twisted her body and broke through the window, no longer wanting to stay.
Wang Wen approached the partially broken window and looked at the naked woman who leaped a few times before disappearing into the distant teleportation gate.
He finally let out the cough he had been suppressing.
That was truly bizarre.
There was an enormous amount of radiation.
The high temperature had scalded his respiratory tract and lungs in that split second. That was the main reason he let the other party go.
A typical mental attack had a large area of damage and a dispersed strength. Fighting against weaker opponents was still acceptable.
When it came across a powerful monster, it would appear very weak.
On the other hand, the poison spell that aided mental cutting was not bad. It could kill without being noticed, but the proficiency level needed to be raised further. He would definitely kill that neither-human-nor-ghost Shen Rushuang next time!
Wang Wen coughed a few more times and discovered the optical computer he had thrown away when he jumped. While leaving the room, he checked it.
At the field.
The dean’s office construction team looked at the dormitory as if they had seen a ghost.
They were startled when they heard a loud noise and saw a figure of light break through the window.
They panicked.
After all, everyone had heard about what had occurred in the academy.
The occupants in the academy had been slaughtered overnight, and the teachers and students who had gone to the Tiansheng Group to plead their case had been imprisoned and starved to death.
The eight people who had been rescued were said to be unconscious.
Nobody knew whether it was due to their physical injuries or because they were too traumatized.
They went to the construction site because the other party was generous with their money, and it appeared that the academy had been empty for quite some time. They had to grit their teeth and do the work to earn money.
If people were still fighting and killing there…
They would rather not work and leave as soon as possible.
After all, regardless of how much money they made, they had to be alive to spend it. It would be too late for the innocent to cry if they were implicated!
