When the system voice in his mind chanted the words "Dududu! Successfully copied [Eternal Talent]: 'The Eight Banners of Wuwang'", a flash of surprise filled Qingden's pupils and cheeks.
This type of system sound... was the first time Qingdeng heard it.
Previously, when prompting Qingdeng to copy a new talent, the system sound effect was a crisp "ding".
The sound effect just now was a rather dull "beep beep beep".
In addition, the tone of the system tone has also changed.
Looking at every system sound Qingdeng has heard before, the tone is quite cold, neither sad nor happy.
But just now Qingdeng rarely heard the system use a more passionate tone.
Of course - these words in the system pronunciation and the changes in tone were far less shocking than the shock he felt when he heard the extremely unfamiliar word "eternal talent".
——Eternal talent...what is this...?
Being named "Eternal Life"... just by hearing the name, you can feel that this talent is definitely different from every talent Qingden has copied in the past.
At this time, Kinoshita Mai, who was lying next to Aoden, put her hands on the ground and put all her weight on her left leg to prevent her numb right foot from touching the ground, and reluctantly stood up.
The mysterious man had already passed through a street intersection and disappeared from the sight of Qingto and Mai Kinoshita.
Kinoshita Mai gritted her teeth and seemed to want to chase the mysterious person, but Qingto stopped him in time: "Stop chasing."
Qingdeng pressed his right leg, which was still numb, while looking at the direction in which the mysterious man disappeared with complicated eyes.
"Based on our current state...it's impossible to catch up with him again."
Both of them have numbness in their right legs. They were both hit hard by the mysterious man just now, and their right legs are now in a state of numbness and pain.
Whether it's him or Kinoshita Mai, it's very difficult to even stand firm now... It's undoubtedly impossible to catch up with the mysterious person.
In addition to their current physical condition not being able to support them in continuing the pursuit, Qingdeng also had another reason that he didn't mention...that is, it would be useless even if they caught up with the mysterious man again.
There was nothing they could do about the mysterious man...
Qingdeng didn't hold back at all just now. In the state where "Lonely Dan" was triggered, he used all his strength.
Judging from Kinoshita Mai's expression and movements when she was fighting the mysterious man just now, she, like Ayoto, didn't hold anything back.
The two of them joined forces with each other and tried their best, but they couldn't even touch a corner of the mysterious man's clothes... They were suppressed by the mysterious man throughout the whole process.
If what the mysterious man had just used was not a tree branch, but a real sword... then he would probably be able to kill both Ayoto and Kinoshita Mai with just one confrontation.
Who is this guy... Qingdeng stared closely at the direction where the mysterious figure disappeared, his eyes became a little more complicated.
The only thing Qingteng can be sure of now is that this mysterious man does not have too strong hostility towards him and Kinoshita Mai - at least he does not want to kill the two of them, or capture them alive.
The mysterious man had just successfully knocked them both to the ground. If he wanted to... he could kill or capture them alive without any effort.
But he didn't do that... he simply threw away the branch in his hand and fled from Qingdeng and the others.
He neither wanted to kill them nor capture them alive... This behavior of the mysterious man made the mysterious aura around him even stronger, making Qingdeng even more confused about this man's identity.
After listening to Qingto's stop, Kinoshita Mai also realized that they really did not have the ability to catch up with the mysterious man now. After a flash of hesitation on his face, he finally slowly retracted his steps and stepped forward.
steps out.
At this time, Qingdeng heard louder and louder noises coming from the houses on both sides of the street.
Probably the sound of the two of them fighting with the mysterious man just now disturbed the townspeople on both sides of the street. The townspeople got up from their beds one after another, wanting to see what happened outside.
If the townspeople discovered the two of them, it would cause unnecessary trouble, so Aoto quickly said to Kinoshita Mai in a deep voice: "Let's get out of here quickly."
Kinoshita Mai nodded vigorously, and then she and Ayoto dragged their right legs, which had not yet recovered, in a direction away from the street.
The two of them moved to a dark alley far away from the place where they had just fought with the mysterious man, and then stopped.
Kinoshita Mai looked around the alley, repeatedly confirmed that there were no outsiders around, and breathed out: "Just take a rest here..."
After saying that, Kinoshita Mai took the lead and sat on the floor, raised her hands and gently massaged her right leg, which was still numb.
The numbness in Aoto's right leg had faded a lot. He didn't need to massage his leg like Kinoshita Mai did, and his body wasn't so tired that he urgently needed to sit down and rest. However, he still sat cross-legged and sat across from Kinoshita Mai in an orderly manner.
Because this moment is a good opportunity for Qingdeng.
A good opportunity to take a good look at the strange new talent you just acquired.
So, Qingdeng pretended to be resting while silently summoning the system in his mind.
The system list that had not been checked for some time appeared in front of Qingdeng’s eyes following Qingdeng’s call——
【Name: Tachibana Aoden】(?)
[Talents currently possessed:]
[Night vision, the talent of the sword, the god of sleep, the lone brave, the eagle eye, the left-handed, the strong body, the skillful hands, the strong tongue, the iron waist, the steel bones, the strong muscles, the cat turns around, the photographic memory, the ghost's heart,
Milk, leading the way, seeing through, hair, trickster, perceiver of the wind, the Eight Banners of the Immortal]
The Immortal Hachiman... This entry, whose name alone is much more majestic than other talents, lies quietly at the bottom of the talent list.
Hachiman is a famous god in Japanese Shintoism. His full name is "Hachiman Daimyojin". He was originally the "God of Bows and Arrows". He established Japan's first shogunate 700 years ago: Minamoto Yoritomo of the Kamakura shogunate was established in Kamakura.
After entering Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine, Hachiman Daimyojin was gradually revered as the "god of war" and became a national belief. Shrines dedicated to Hachiman Daimyojin were built across the country.
As soon as he opened the system list, Qingdeng immediately discovered the extraordinary nature of his new talent.
For every talent that has been copied before, their entries in the talent list are ordinary.
Only the entry for "Muyo no Hachiman" actually has a special effect - it is surrounded by a purple square that glows slightly!
When Qingdeng was looking at this talent entry with its own special effects in astonishment, he suddenly discovered that if he focused his attention on this purple box, this purple box could be expanded into a new virtual screen.
And on this virtual screen, there is an introduction to "Eternal Talent" written clearly!
[Eternal Talent:
Excluding the host, this is a talent that only one person can possess in this world.
Unique talent! Unparalleled talent in the world!]
The introduction is very short.
But this extremely short introduction made Qingdeng feel shocked and unable to dissipate for a long time...
The world is so vast and the population is so huge. With such a population base, there is naturally no shortage of people with that kind of talent.
So, as it should be - "talent crashing" is a very normal thing.
Take the "Excellent Swordsman" as an example: There are many swordsman geniuses like Okita who possess the "Excellent Sword Skill", if not countless, at least to be counted.
However...only the "eternal talent" is different.
According to the introduction of "eternal talents" currently displayed by the system, excluding Qingdeng who can copy other people's talents, the talents named "eternal" are all unique! Only one person can possess them in this life.
talent!
The more Qingdeng thought about it, the more shocked he felt in his heart.
The huge harvest tonight made Qingdeng feel dumbfounded.
He was just accompanying Mai Kinoshita to investigate the suspicious tea house tonight, but by chance, he was able to copy this talent that only one among a billion people can have...
Such an experience and such luck, Qing Deng doesn’t even know how to describe it in specific words.
After taking several deep breaths, Qingden gradually recovered from his shock and stabilized his mood. He slowly raised his gaze and looked straight in the direction where the mysterious man left just now.
——Who is that guy in the brown robe... Why is such a person hiding near us when Miss Kinoshita and I are admiring the night cherry blossoms?
Qingdeng is not sure about the current world population, but he estimates that there should still be more than a billion people.
Among more than a billion people, only one person has this kind of talent... What a powerful talent is this?
And how powerful a person with such a talent must be...?
Qing Deng met such a person just now and briefly fought against him.
Regarding the identity of that mysterious man... Qingdeng couldn't help but become more confused.
But it was useless no matter how doubtful Qingden was.
There was so little information, and he couldn't figure out the identity of the mysterious man even as he was thinking about it.
Therefore, Qingto could only smile bitterly and shake his head slightly, then withdrew his gaze, and instead focused on the talent content of "Wuwang Hachiman".
As early as when he had just successfully copied the talent from the mysterious man and the system prompts popped up in his mind, Qingto had noticed that the conditions for violating the "Wuxian Hachiman"... were somewhat difficult to understand.
With the mentality of "I want to study it carefully", Qingto focused his attention on the entry of "Wuwang Hachiman", and grasped the virtual screen with the introduction of the talent and immediately popped up in front of his eyes——
[When the mind and spirit are united and there is no confusion in the mind, you will be able to use a powerful attack as if Hachiman Daimyojin is possessed!
If your heart is not at a loss, neither will your sword!]
Looking at the series of introductions on the virtual screen, Qingdeng frowned slightly - if it can become an "eternal talent", then this talent must have something extraordinary. In fact, according to the system's introduction to the talent, it can also be vaguely
I feel that this talent seems to be very strong, but the introduction of this talent is too general!
What does it mean to be "unity of heart and mind, without confusion"?
I am fully determined to win and have no distracting thoughts in my mind. Does this mean that my mind is clear of confusion?
What does it mean to be able to use a powerful blow as if he is possessed by Hachiman Daimyojin? Is it that all the potential of the body suddenly bursts out, and the strength is greatly increased?
The introduction of the talent content was too vague... Qingdeng really couldn't figure out the triggering conditions of the talent.
Qingden's intuition told it: This "Eight Flags of No Confusion" is definitely not that easy to trigger. The so-called "mind without confusion" is definitely not just as simple as the absence of distracting thoughts...
While Qingto was still concentrating on studying his new talent, suddenly - Mai Kinoshita, who was sitting opposite him and had been massaging her right leg just now, suddenly stood up holding on to the wall of the alley, and then weighed her feet vigorously.
"Well... I finally recovered." Kinoshita Mai glanced at her right leg, which was no longer sore and numb no matter how she tiptoed, and said with a wry smile to herself, "Tonight there are so many accidents...
...Who is that guy in the brown robe...?"
Qingto, whose mind was brought back to the present world by Kinoshita Mai's low sigh, smiled helplessly and echoed: "Who knows... Is your leg okay? Are there any other injuries?"
"I'm fine." Kinoshita Mai raised her arms to the left and right sides of her body, stepped on her toes a few times, and used her movements to signal to Qingden that her body was intact, "What about you? You were hit by that guy's branch.
How is the part doing?"
Having said this, Kinoshita Mai changed into a worried tone.
"Is there any bleeding? Is the injury serious?"
"There's no bleeding, it's just a minor injury." Qingdeng raised his hand and touched the parts that had just been hit by the mysterious man's branch.
"...Let me see your wound." Kinoshita Mai said.
"Huh?" Qingdeng was stunned.
"Let me see your wound." Mai Kinoshita looked at Ayoto with firm eyes and repeated what she had just said word for word.
"That's not necessary." Qingdeng waved his hand quickly, "It's just a minor injury that didn't even bleed."
"No." Kinoshita Mai shook her head resolutely, "That guy's branch hit you so hard, it made a crackling sound when it hit you. I don't believe it was just a minor injury. Come on, let me see
Look at your wounds."
This was the first time Qingteng saw such a strong side of Kinoshita Mai... No matter what he said or how he explained it, Kinoshita Mai would not give in.
Unable to resist Kinoshita Mai, Qingto could only sigh softly and slowly take off his upper body clothes.
Until the end of the battle, the mysterious man, who only held the branch to Qingdeng, slapped Qingdeng 7 times with the branch in total, and these 7 blows were all concentrated on Qingdeng's upper body.
Qingdeng didn't lie. The crisscross wounds on his body did not bleed, but the appearance of the wounds was quite scary.
The longest wound was 4 inches long, and the shortest wound was 2 inches long.
Every wound was undoubtedly a trace of blood, and the skin was torn open and frighteningly red. Some of the wounds even had tiny drops of blood oozing out.
The alley where Qingto and Kinoshita Mai are hiding now has quite tall houses on both sides of the alley. Under the cover of the wide eaves of the houses on both sides, the light in the alley is extremely dim, and it is difficult to see even one's fingers.
Therefore, in order to see the injuries on Qingteng's body more clearly, Kinoshita Mai unconsciously stretched her feet half a step forward, stood in front of Qingteng, and put her face close to Qingteng's naked upper body.
Seeing Kinoshita Mai whose nose almost hit him, Qingto couldn't help but be stunned.
He was naked in front of a young woman who was not a relative or a medical worker and allowed her to see the wounds on her body at close range... This was the first such experience.
For some reason, Qingdeng felt an itching feeling in his heart at this moment.
He looked away from Kinoshita Mai unconsciously. The muscles on his face seemed to be out of control, and his expression became weird.
Kinoshita Mai didn't seem to realize that she and Qingto were currently in a rather ambiguous state.
She went back and forth, carefully looking at every wound on Qingden's body, and then she finally showed a "relieved" look.
"Fortunately, the wound is indeed not serious."
Kinoshita Mai straightened up, put her hands on her hips, and continued solemnly:
"After you go back, you must take medicine in time."
"Otherwise, your injuries are likely to leave scars... Hmm? Mr. Tachibana, what's wrong? Why do you look so weird?"
Only then did Kinoshita realize belatedly that Qingto's expression was a bit strange.
"Ah...it's nothing..." Qingto laughed awkwardly and raised his hand to scratch his nose, "I just think...Miss Kinoshita, you are quite bold sometimes."
Mai Kinoshita, who still kept her hands on her hips, was slightly startled after hearing Qingto's words, and then her expression changed as if she realized something.
"No, I'm sorry..." Kinoshita Wu lowered her head in panic, pointed the hair on top of her head at Qingden, stretched out her hands to pull up the scarf on her face, tightened it, and tightly covered her face.
"I just... want to make sure your injuries are not serious..."
The girl in front of her turned back into the Kinoshita Mai she was familiar with.
An awkward atmosphere floated between the two people who both fell silent...
