Cross Fire: Doomsday Myth

Chapter 246 Practitioners and spells
At Long Shisan's invitation, the monk and two other-worldly experts finally decided to follow him back to Heilang City.Of course, now Black Wolf City in the northern suburbs of T City has been renamed Stormwind City.

On the way back, Long Shisan discovered that the strength of these two extraterrestrial masters was really unfounded. Although they were already seriously injured, when they were on the way, they didn't exert much effort at all, and they were able to relax easily. Keep up with his speed easily!

"Spirit of the System, how strong are these two people...?" On the way, Long Shisan couldn't help asking the Spirit of the System with an attitude of giving it a try.Although he didn't know if the spirit of the system would answer him, he was really curious about the strength of those two extraterrestrial experts, so he still wanted to ask.

"Master, their strength is comparable to a tenth-level mutant!" This time, the spirit of the system replied very simply.

"Ten...Tenth level mutant? Are you sure?!" Long Shisan was startled suddenly, almost stopped on the spot!A tenth-level mutant... what kind of concept is this?You know, he is only stronger than a sixth-level mutant now, and once he meets a seventh-level mutant, he may have to give up!And the tenth-level mutant is three levels higher than the seventh-level mutant!Or in other words, if these two outsiders were hostile to him, they could easily kill him with just one finger!

"Master, I'm sure and sure!" System Spirit replied.

"...Damn it, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Long Shisan was speechless for a while, and then couldn't help complaining very depressed.Facing the tenth-level mutants, he has absolutely no power to resist!Therefore, it is definitely very dangerous to stay with these two extraterrestrial experts!And if he had known that the other party's strength was so high, he would never have invited them to Stormwind City, and would have even stayed away from them early on!
"Master, you can't blame me, it's because you didn't ask me!" the system spirit argued.

"Nimma... Do I still need to take the initiative to ask this kind of thing? Can you be smarter? An existence like this, which is comparable to a tenth-level mutant, is simply not an existence that I can contend with now. What if they What do you want me to do with bad intentions?! Or in other words, shouldn’t you give me an early warning notice for such an extremely dangerous existence?” Long Shisan rolled his eyes in his heart and said.

"Sorry, master, this is also a test you should accept. Unless you ask, I can't take the initiative to remind you. If you want to avoid this danger, you can only rely on your luck and wisdom!" The spirit of the system replied.

"...Okay! Okay! Whatever you say is right! I won't talk to you anymore!" Long Shisan said helplessly, "By the way, you just said that they are existences comparable to tenth-level mutants. Could it be that, They are not mutants? But if they are not mutants, how can ordinary people be so strong? Also, isn’t the method they used to deal with ghosts and seducers before, not supernatural powers?”

"Master, you are right, they are indeed not mutants, and the methods they use are not abilities!" The system spirit replied, "Existence like them is very rare now, and they can't even be classified as a group of people. They are extremely special heresies in this doomsday world! If the master must give them a title, it is better to call them practitioners! As for the methods they use, they belong to the category of magic arts!"

"Practitioner? Technique?" Long Shisan couldn't help showing surprise in his eyes, as if he had discovered a new continent.It was the first time he had heard of these two terms, cultivator and technique.And judging from the previous battles, this cultivator and the techniques they use are definitely not weaker than mutants and powerful existences!He is very curious now...whether he can possess this kind of technique and become a practitioner!Or in other words, I don't know if I can absorb the spells of practitioners like absorbing mutants' abilities... If I can really do this, then I will be awesome!At least, if the undead cataclysm mentioned by the bearded Taoist really happened in the future, I might be able to use a method similar to the eye of the sky to directly see the ghosts that the naked eye cannot see!
"Master, you are overthinking. Mutants are easy to create. You only need to modify your genes, but it is very difficult to become a practitioner. It will take a long time. It will take a long time to cultivate patiently and patiently. It is definitely not something that can be created overnight. !" Who knows, at this moment, the spirit of the system poured cold water on him mercilessly, "As for practitioners' spells, they cannot be acquired like the ability to seize abilities, and it also takes a long time It can only be possessed by the complicated practice! Moreover, even if you do what I said, it will be very difficult to become a practitioner and possess spells!"

"Oh? Why?" Long Shisan frowned.

"Because you missed a critical moment! That is, the moment when the catastrophe begins!" The system spirit replied, "To be specific, practitioners have already existed on the earth, it can be said that they have existed since ancient times! However, Except for the first few batches of practitioners who had spells at the beginning, the practitioners who appeared for a long time later could not possess spells! Because, in addition to hard work, practitioners also need to rely on a special energy from the outside world. Only then can we have spells! This kind of energy has appeared on the earth several times a long time ago, and it also appeared once when the catastrophe came. Only practitioners who have experienced these points in time can have spells, and only There is a very small possibility, not every practitioner can have it! And those who miss these time points, no matter how hard they practice, they will not be able to possess spells!"

"I see..." Long Shisan couldn't help frowning after hearing this, feeling disappointed.If that's the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to think about practitioners and spells in the future.

"Master, don't be discouraged. In fact, spells and abilities lead to the same goal by different routes, and they will reach the same level in the end! A powerful enough ability will definitely not be weaker than a spell of the same level. It's just that before reaching the peak, the use of both That's all different!" said the spirit of the system, "and the most important thing... What I'm saying is that the master can't have spells for the time being, and as for the future...it's not impossible at all!"

"Oh? Is that so..." Long Shisan's eyes lit up and he muttered, he couldn't help feeling a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

"Boy, is that city in front of you your territory? Tsk tsk, yes, I didn't expect that you are also the owner of a big family and a big business. Let me tell you first, Pindao is a person with a big appetite, you can't be stingy, you must We must control the poor Taoists!" At this moment, the bearded Taoist suddenly looked at the outline of the towering city looming in the distance, and said with a grin.

"Hehe, don't worry, Daoist, you have enough food and drink!" Long Shisan came back to his senses and said with a calm smile.
