Volume 1: City of Sky Fox [003] Assassination Ring

Pearl Ability Academy has special courses to teach students how to judge the danger of alienated beasts.

Once an animal becomes an alienated beast, its eyes will become more agile, and as the superpowers in the body continue to increase, the eyes will have a signature brilliance.

This kind of light is invisible during the day, but at night, you can see it if you look carefully.

There will be a vague white light in the pupils of the primary mutant beast at night. The level can be judged based on the brightness of the white light. When it reaches the intermediate level, the light in the eyes will gradually converge and transition from white to green, and then to the advanced blue and top level. of red.

Zhang Ping is not an experienced awakener, so he cannot judge the specific level of the alienated beast from the brightness of the light, but through the light in the eyes of the Tianchang fox, he can roughly judge the level of these Tianchang foxes.

According to his observations, Tian Changhu's strength is generally between intermediate and advanced, that is, around level 19 to level 25.

It is a pity that Tianchanghu did not inherit the talent of the nine-tailed fox, otherwise he could judge the level of Tianchanghu more easily and more accurately.

There are many alienated beasts in the wild, and you don't need to judge the level by the light of your eyes.

For example, a nine-tailed fox will definitely have two tails once it becomes an alienated beast. When it becomes an intermediate alienated beast, it will have three to four tails. When it becomes a high-level alienated beast, it will have five to six tails. After that, it will be a top-level alienated beast with seven tails. to eight tails.

It is said that the king of nine-tailed foxes will have nine tails.

Therefore, the level of the Nine-tailed Fox Alien Beast is easy to judge, just by looking at its tail.

In fact, there is a similar judgment method among awakened people.

As far as Zhang Ping knows, among awakened people, it is easiest to judge one's own level at the early stage of the fire system.

At level 1, a fire-type user can condense up to one fireball the size of a basketball with all his strength. At level 2, he can condense two fireballs, all the way up to level 9 with 9 fireballs. The level is very easy to judge.

However, after breaking through level 10 and becoming an intermediate awakener, it is difficult to judge the level at that time due to the qualitative changes in super powers and the different tendencies of different people to use powers.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Zhang Ping recorded the information about Tianchang Fox in nearby streets and then turned back to school.

In the next few days, he focused on the school and continued to collect information about Tianchanghu in the city. At the same time, he also had some doubts in his heart: there were actually many Tianchanghu in the city who were only at the level of junior alienated beasts, but they had hidden it. Many advanced awakeners.

"Another junior fox!"

Zhang Pingmao was in a corner not far from the school, looking at Tian Changhu whose eyes were emitting bright white light not far away, and murmured in his heart.

No matter how powerful the ability of the primary alien beast is, it will be quite powerless in the face of level suppression. For example, a primary awakened person who has awakened "spiritual control" is almost impossible to cause too much harm to an intermediate awakened person.

Even if you really control it, you will be broken free within a few seconds, or even be counterattacked by your ability.

Zhang Ping remembered that Teacher Chen in the practical class was an intermediate awakener. At that time, the whole class tried their best but failed to cause much harm to Teacher Chen.

On the one hand, there is the gap in experience, on the other hand, there is hierarchical suppression.

Then here comes the problem.

These junior alienated beasts are eating people in the city. Why don't the intermediate and even advanced awakened people notice it?

Theoretically, no matter how powerful Tian Changhu's super power is, it is impossible to suppress beings of a higher level than himself across levels.

But according to Zhang Ping's observations during this period, these junior alienated beasts were also running rampant in the city and eating people, without anyone around them noticing.

There must be information that he didn't know, and this information was particularly critical.

Zhang Ping glanced at the junior alienated beast strutting down the street, and then returned to school in the night.

At present, he has a rough idea. At least with the school as the center, the sixteen nearby streets are infiltrated by Tianchang foxes, and there are at least fifty Tianchang foxes living there.

Outside the school, he currently found that the strongest Tianchang Fox should be between level 25 and 27, and the weakest should only be level 5.

It was a Tianchang fox cub that often moved around the snack street.

As for the Tianchanghu who pretends to be a teacher in the school, his level should be above 29, and his strength is

Very scary.

but……

Even more terrifying is Tian Changhu who killed Luo Shiyu.

Zhang Ping didn't even dare to use identification skills on it.

Because when he wanted to identify the other party several times, he had a feeling in his heart that once he used the identification technique, he would be immediately targeted by the other party.

This feeling is no illusion.

Therefore, Zhang Ping guessed that the Tianchang Fox that killed Luo Shiyu was of a very high level, and might even be a top-level alienated beast!

"Now the information has been collected almost."

"You can be sure that I alone cannot solve all Tianchang Fox."

"The problem is that Tianchanghu's ability is too weird. Even low-level Tianchanghu can easily hide it from high-level awakened people. I have no evidence, and no one will believe my words."

"The only way is to kill a Tenchang Fox as evidence."

"As long as there is evidence, it is possible to attract the attention of some powerful people."

In the dormitory, Zhang Ping was doing push-ups while analyzing and thinking in his mind.

Hunting Tianchang Fox will inevitably scare the snake away.

Moreover, Zhang Ping was not sure that he would be able to escape unscathed after killing Tian Changhu.

Zhang Ping thought about it over and over, and finally sighed to himself that he was still too weak. If he was strong enough, he wouldn't have so many worries.

After all, strength is the key to blocking his actions at the moment.

"Sit-ups, five hundred more!"

Zhang Ping gritted his teeth and ordered in his mind.

These days, he ate two contract gems every day, but unfortunately no new talents appeared.

However, as his potential continued to improve, the training effect became more and more obvious. It was this feeling of progress every day that kept him from despairing.

In fact, he had already determined in his heart that the city had fallen.

It was the Tianchang Fox, not humans, who controlled the city.

The next day.

Zhang Ping opened his eyes and found that he woke up earlier again.

It was more than four o'clock in the morning, and it was not yet light. He was the only one running on the playground.

It was very quiet around him.

When the cool wind blew, he even felt like he was back to the campus of his previous life.

It would be great if there was no Tianchang Fox.

Zhang Ping thought of the children and students who were killed, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.

Suddenly, he felt that he stepped on something, and when he looked back, there was a ring on the ground.

"Give up the morning run and move freely!"

Zhang Ping ordered in his mind, then turned around and walked back to pick up the ring.

This is a dark black ring. I don't know who dropped it here. Although the material of the ring doesn't look particularly precious, it is finely crafted and the pattern on the ring is particularly delicate. It doesn't look like an ordinary decoration.

"Identification!"

"Identification failed!"

"Identification!"

"Identification failed!"

Zhang Ping was slightly surprised.

For ordinary objects, identification rarely fails, but this ring actually failed twice in a row.

Then he continued to use identification, and finally identified the properties of the ring after failing more than ten times.

[Identification successful]

[Assassination ring: After wearing the ring, all life forms will subconsciously ignore the wearer, and high-level awakeners and above are immune. ]

At the same time as the identification was successful, a picture naturally emerged in front of Zhang Ping's eyes: an old man with white hair and beard holding the ring with his left hand and a tied up Yin Xi man with his right hand.

As the old man's two hands emitted golden light, the tied man's face was distorted, bleeding from all seven holes, and he opened his mouth to scream miserably. Finally, blood-colored light was extracted from the man's body and merged into the ring along the old man's hand.

Then the scene changed, and Zhang Ping saw a man in white clothes and a black mask fighting with Luo Shiyu on the playground, but the man was obviously no match for Luo Shiyu. Not only did he have three fingers cut off, but he also had a kidney removed...

Unfortunately, the scene was cut off after the kidney was removed, and Zhang Ping did not see whether the man in white escaped.

"Oh no!"

The scene ended.

Zhang Ping suddenly reacted.

Could this ring be a bait left by the Tianchang Fox?

He quickly looked at the girls' dormitory, but did not find the Tianchang Fox. He forced himself to calm down and put on the ring without making a sound.

Regardless of whether the ring was a bait or not, he had already picked it up, and deliberately throwing it away at this time would be even more suspicious.

While it was still dark, the Night Walker was still effective, and he had to return to the dormitory quickly.

Zhang Ping made a decision, turned around quickly and disappeared into the night.

...

In the corner outside the playground, a Tianchang Fox was a little distracted and couldn't help yawning.

Suddenly it felt something was wrong, and it looked at the playground, then wiped its eyes, and then realized that the ring was missing.

"Not good!"

It immediately jumped into the playground, lying on the ground and carefully sniffing the surrounding smells.

The playground smelled very mixed, but it could tell the time when these smells were left, but after searching, it subconsciously "ignored" a smell, so that it found nothing.

"No one has been here?"

"How is it possible!"

Tian Chang Fox was dumbfounded at this moment.

It obeyed "Luo Shiyu" and stared at the playground all night.

Even if it was distracted, it paid attention to the movements in the playground. How could the ring disappear out of thin air?

"No, someone must have been here. If they can hide it from me, they must be an awakener above the intermediate level!"

Tian Chang Fox calmed down, and its narrow and long fox eyes gradually narrowed. It looked around and did not find any suspicious footprints, so it turned and walked towards the girls' dormitory.

Boys' dormitory.

Zhang Ping watched Tian Chang Fox on the playground leave on the balcony, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was still dark at 4 o'clock, so his presence was very low, and after wearing the assassination ring, his presence was further weakened.

It can be seen from the fact that Tianchang Fox looked around that the other party did not find him, so he is still safe now.

However, the assassination ring must not be worn during the day, otherwise it would be dangerous if it was discovered by 'Luo Shiyu'.

"It turns out that I am not the only one who discovered that there are alien beasts in the city."

Zhang Ping returned to the room, looked down at the assassination ring, and thought to himself.

Obviously, the man in white also noticed that the alien beasts had infiltrated the city, but why did the other party attack 'Luo Shiyu'? Does 'Luo Shiyu' have a special meaning to Tianchang Fox?

There is also the question of whether there is an organization behind the man in white?

"There is still too little information."

Zhang Ping gently stroked the ring with his fingers, and when he thought of something he couldn't figure out, he simply lay on the bed and stopped thinking about it.

However, the assassination ring made him realize that strength is not limited to his own strength. There are many magical equipment in Mingzhu City.

These equipment are generally made by forgers and have special abilities.

The reason why he ignored this before was mainly because his original body was an orphan and had never come into contact with this kind of equipment in the past, so he had almost no memory of this aspect.

What the original owner didn't know, he, who inherited the original owner's memory, naturally couldn't know.

"Go out tonight to investigate and see the price of this kind of equipment."

Zhang Ping set a goal in his mind, and then glanced at the alarm clock. It was past five in the morning, and he could still take a nap for an hour.

He closed his eyes, mentally commanded himself to sleep, and fell asleep in a blink of an eye.

"Zhang Ping, there is danger, get up quickly!"

In a daze, Zhang Ping saw Su Jingyao.

Her body was hazy, only her eyes were clear as water, and those beautiful almond eyes were looking at him anxiously.

Dream?

No!

Wake up!

On the bed, Zhang Ping opened his eyes suddenly.

The next second, he subconsciously took off the assassination ring and stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it, and then continued to sleep.
