As a special ability, charm does not have much offensive power on the surface, but once it charms the opponent, it will make the opponent enter a state of confusion. At this time, he is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Even ordinary people can kill the opponent.
Kill.
This ability originated from the West and was first created by missionaries in Central Europe. They taught enchantment to women. Women were more conducive to getting closer to the enemy. After using enchantment, the opponent was like a puppet and could be killed or used by them.
Lin Zichen didn't expect Shang Yingmei to actually use this ability. Although charm exists, it is ancient and mysterious. There are not even a few masters in the world who can perform charm.
What is her... background?
Seeing that the big bird had completely lost its attacking power, Shang Yingmei showed a panicked expression again: "General, Chief Instructor..."
When she shouted, Lin Zichen came back to his senses, stepped forward, and killed the round-beaked bird with one palm.
He exhaled: "Yingmei, it's too dangerous this time."
Shang Yingmei lowered her head slightly, nodded sheepishly and said, "I know, I...I was wrong."
In front of Lin Zichen, Shang Yingmei seemed to have changed into a different person. From the female warrior whom she had just killed in cold blood, she suddenly turned into a timid little girl who was afraid of being punished for doing something wrong.
Lin Zichen shook his head helplessly, squatted down and felt Shang Yingmei's pulse, and said: "The injury is not serious, it is mainly trauma. It will only take a few days to recover. Yingmei, last time you promised me not to come to the Seven Sacred Mountains"
of."
Shang Yingmei blushed and pouted: "I...I just wanted to practice my finger strength. I didn't expect this big bird to be so powerful."
"This is a round-beaked bird. They usually choose to live in groups, and they attack in groups. Provoking them is inherently troublesome. What's more, the round-beaked birds in the Seven Sacred Mountains absorb the true energy and grow, becoming larger and more powerful.
Qiang, if I were not here, you would have died here today."
Lin Zichen's tone was reproachful, but not too harsh. Lin Zichen also took into account Shang Yingmei's emotions, after all, she was still injured.
"I didn't expect that... last time I only shot two eagles here, this time..."
"But Yingmei, your finger strength and wrist strength are very strong. Have you been practicing attacking with stones since you were a child?" Lin Zichen knew in his heart that even he might not have such strong finger strength.
Shang Yingmei nodded: "Yes, I practiced shooting with steel balls when I was very young. There were no balls in the academy, so I used stones."
"What about...the charm technique?" Lin Zichen looked at Shang Yingmei with an obvious questioning look in his eyes.
"Ah? Charm, charm?" Shang Yingmei was stunned. Lin Zichen's words obviously surprised her, "What charm?"
Lin Zichen looked at Shang Yingmei. He found that this girl was becoming more and more mysterious. Now she was clearly pretending to be stupid. She could use charm but didn't know it? How is this possible?
"Haha, didn't you just use charm to make the round-beaked bird stop attacking? Otherwise, I'm afraid you would have entered its belly." Lin Zichen said with a relaxed smile.
"Oh, hehe, that's not a charm, it's a kind of fragrant powder I carry with me for self-defense." As she said that, Shang Yingmei took out a small paper bag from her waist and handed it to Lin Zichen, "Chief instructor, you
look."
Lin Zichen took the paper bag, opened it, took a look, and immediately smelled it. Sure enough, it was a drug made from more than a dozen materials, and the effect was obvious. If it weren't for his strength, he would have lost his mind after just smelling it.
Already.
Then, Lin Zichen looked at Shang Yingmei's side again. Sure enough, there was an open paper bag on the ground. So... was she really a round-beaked bird that was confused by this fragrant powder?
Lin Zichen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Shang Yingmei, as if he was trying to see something from her eyes, but unfortunately, he found nothing. Shang Yingmei's eyes were as clear as a pool of spring water, without even a sign of lying.
Lin Zichen finally nodded, stood up and said, "Let's go, don't stay here, it's too dangerous."
Shang Yingmei was very obedient this time and stretched out her hand for Lin Zichen to pull her up. Lin Zichen felt that her hand was soft and tender, but very cold.
Ordinarily, a warrior, especially a warrior like Shang Yingmei who has been training since childhood, plus practicing shooting with steel balls, should have some rough hands, which should not be so smooth, and the coldness is even more surprising to him, it has exceeded
The lower limit of normal body temperature.
"Why are your hands so cold?" Lin Zichen asked.
"Maybe it's a bit cold at the top of the mountain. I was... startled just now. I'll be fine in a while." Shang Ying withdrew her hand in a coquettish voice, leaving a wisp of bright red on her face.
Lin Zichen didn't take it to heart, and then went down the mountain with Shang Yingmei, preparing to send her out.
Shang Yingmei was very quiet along the way, always following Lin Zichen, obedient like a little sheep, bowing her head and saying nothing.
Lin Zichen glanced at her a few times, and couldn't help but wonder. This girl looked cold in front of others, but every time she was alone with me, she was different. Normally she would show a sunny smile, but she would be shy when she made a mistake.
He didn't dare to raise his head and spoke softly and submissively, but his personality was a bit strange.
"Chief instructor." As they were about to leave the Seven Sacred Mountains, Shang Yingmei suddenly raised her face and said.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Lin Zichen turned his head and looked at Shang Ying's beautiful little face under the moonlight. Her beautiful eyes were like water, her lips were shiny, beautiful and pure, like a white lotus emerging from the water. If it weren't for that hint of coldness, there might really be too many male students surrounding her.
Turned around her.
"I...I want to know if I can join the special forces team." After saying that, Shang Yingmei lowered her head in embarrassment.
Lin Zichen smiled: "Yingmei, why are you always so scared when talking to me? Come on, look at me."
As he spoke, Lin Zichen held Shang Yingmei's shoulders with both hands. Shang Yingmei also raised her head and looked at Lin Zichen. When their eyes met, she turned her head to the side again.
"Haha, let me tell you, with your strength, you can definitely join the special forces team."
Shang Yingmei nodded, her lips pursed as if there was something on her lips that she couldn't say.
"Yingmei, what...what else do you want to say?"
Shang Yingmei struggled for a while and said: "I...I don't want to join the special operations team. I want to follow the chief instructor all the time. Is that okay?"
"Ah? Follow me? Haha, why do you say that?" Lin Zichen thought to himself, in fact, he did plan to do so. If the special team quota given by the old gentleman starts to be created, then Shang Yingmei will undoubtedly be a candidate.
Shang Yingmei looked at the ground and intertwined her hands in front of her chest. Finally, she took a deep breath and said: "I think I can learn more from the chief instructor. I have thought about it. I want to enter martial arts and follow the chief instructor."
Learning the method of cultivation, starting from breathing and breathing, I hope I can improve myself to a higher level."
Hearing this, Lin Zichen was stunned: "What? Do you think your cultivation skills cannot be improved?"
"No, after this period of training and study, especially when I saw the strength of the chief instructor that day, I feel that although there is still room for improvement in my training methods, I may never reach the strength of the chief instructor, so I want to have a higher level.
pursuit.”
"A higher pursuit?" Lin Zichen was silent for a moment, "Haha, Yingmei, what do you think of martial arts?"
"Martial arts is profound, high and supreme. No one knows where the pinnacle of martial arts is, but as long as a warrior keeps pursuing it, he will reach his own realm."
Shang Yingmei spoke very slowly, and there were even pauses between some words, as if she was memorizing them. Lin Zichen smiled secretly. Obviously this girl had done her homework in advance. There is nothing wrong with it. There are different ways to pursue martial arts.
, no matter how you study, it will be good if you can understand these.
"Haha, you are right, but in fact martial arts is not a vertical pursuit. He is a great man in the world." Lin Zichen smiled and patted Shang Yingmei on the shoulder, "But your current thoughts are better than most
People are getting stronger."
After saying that, Lin Zichen continued walking. Shang Yingmei was a little confused where she was, and then she chased after him: "Chief instructor, can I follow you?"
Lin Zichen turned around and smiled: "Haha, I'm afraid I can't answer this question for you yet, but... I think there are no absolutes in this world. Maybe you can follow me and join the special forces team!"
"Ah? Why is that!"
Shang Yingmei's expression was no longer so shy, showing the sunshine of the past. Lin Zichen smiled: "Go back first and follow instructor Jiang Hua step by step. You will naturally know it by then."
After sending Shang Yingmei out of the Seven Sacred Mountains, Lin Zichen turned around and walked back. After all, he planned to continue practicing here, and if possible, he would also refine the five-pole rune array.
Along the way, he kept thinking about what had just happened. He always felt that something was wrong. This business lady was indeed a little strange, at least she was very different from ordinary rich girls.
Especially the packet of fragrant powder. Even if she didn't use charm, why would she usually carry that kind of fragrant powder for self-defense? With her strength, she might not need it at all.
Furthermore, the effect of fragrant powder is very rare. To prepare this kind of fragrant powder, one must be at least as powerful as Ning Jia. Is the merchant spending so much money to buy this fragrant powder just to allow Shang Yingmei, who is already astonishingly powerful, to defend herself?
When walking back to the mountain, Lin Zichen didn't notice that Shang Yingmei had been watching him at the mountain pass. Her eyes were soft and clear at first, and then became unusually calm, even with the usual coldness.
But in the cold eyes, there is also a trace of doubt...and fear!
After climbing to the top of a peak, Lin Zichen began to practice. Without Shang Yingmei by his side, he soon closed his eyes and fell into silence.
As time passed, Lin Zichen felt the influx of true energy in his body once again. After his transformation, every practice seemed to become more obvious, and he could even feel the flow of true energy.
This kind of practice lasted for two days. Two days later, Lin Zichen slowly opened his eyes and felt that his body had strengthened a little. He nodded. He was far away from the late Nayuan stage, but his current state seemed to be able to try to refine the Five Elements.
