Chapter 13 The Powerful Little Green
Li Wei remained silent for a while, weighing the pros and cons, and finally decided that it was better to play it safe. He slowly stepped out of the shadows and faced Su Ming and Jiang Shaoxu.
He didn't dare to force his way through, fearing both the summoned beast and the magical artifact, whether it even existed or not.
Li Wei is a middle-aged man with gray hair, slightly overweight but without a big belly, with a buzz cut, and looks very capable.
His clothes were dirty and messy, making him look somewhat slovenly.
Su Ming's eyes widened. He sensed a familiar aura, not one he knew from Li Wei, but the aura of magic, a very familiar kind of magic.
"Little Xu'er, be careful, he's a space-type mage."
Space-themed? And this scruffy old man?
It doesn't look right at all. How could such a middle-aged man awaken a spatial ability? What's wrong with this world? Those students who jumped off buildings will probably have to get up and pull the man down with them.
Su Ming was very serious. He could definitely feel it. The magical energy fluctuation was completely spatial. Normally, even a mage wouldn't be able to determine what kind of magic the other person had unless they shared the same magic.
Only in this way can you sense when the other party is channeling their magical energy.
When Li Wei came out, he released the spatial restrictions on his body and unleashed magic, which Su Ming could naturally sense.
"This brother is truly remarkable for his age. May I ask what brings you here?" Li Wei asked thoughtfully.
"Do you recognize this?" Su Ming took out three lollipops from his pocket and casually threw them on the ground. They really were Su Ming, Jiang Shaoxu, and Bai Zinuo's three lollipops.
Li Wei's pupils contracted upon seeing the object Su Ming threw. In the darkness, ordinary people couldn't see what Su Ming had thrown, but magicians were different; their vision was excellent and completely unaffected by the darkness.
Li Wei naturally knew what this was; he would often throw down a lollipop after exchanging items.
In Li Wei's mind, this was not theft, but at most an exchange of equal value.
In his eyes, lollipops and soul-repairing vessels are equivalent, so he doesn't feel guilty about exchanging them.
On the contrary, he took it for granted.
The master came looking for him. Li Wei knew this day would come, but he didn't expect it to be the Rubik's Cube Association or those senior mages, but a child who looked like he hadn't even grown up yet.
He's probably too young to be his son, he's barely grown up.
Li Wei was silent for a moment, then said in a negotiating tone, "I can return your things to you, and we can just let this matter go, as if you've never met me."
"Of course not..."
"Of course." Jiang Shaoxu was interrupted by Su Ming's words. He smiled and waved for Jiang Shaoxu to listen quietly.
"We're just doing this for our own purposes. Who you are or what you do is none of my business, and I don't want to be enemies with a great mage specializing in spatial magic."
"So...where's the stuff?"
Li Wei was shocked. This person had indeed recognized him as a space-type mage. He was so terrifying at such a young age. If he got any older, he might be able to easily subdue him.
"Do you know what our items are?" Su Ming asked. Li Wei rummaged through his pockets, taking out one item and putting it back, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
"Naturally, I feel that every time I exchange an item, I need to think about it. There are two soul-cultivating vessels and a stardust magic artifact. I've exchanged quite a lot of things recently, so I need to take some time." Li Wei was rummaging through the items.
Su Ming remained vigilant, keeping a close eye on Li Wei, fearing he might suddenly make a move.
At this moment, Jiang Shaoxu leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Su Ming, look at his clothes. They're so thin. They can't possibly hold all the things he stole. This guy must have a spatial ring to store his belongings."
"I can tell. Do you think he'll give it to me if I ask him for it back?"
"Are you stupid? How could I possibly give you such an important spatial ring?" Jiang Shaoxu mocked Su Ming without any politeness.
Su Ming pondered. The spatial ring was indeed very attractive and had many uses. If he could get his hands on it, it would be much more convenient to go out in the future.
Just as Su Ming was pondering how to obtain the rings, Li Wei suddenly shouted, "Found them! I found them! Three of them, not one missing!"
Li Wei held the vessel and the magic weapon in his hands to show them off.
Even from a distance, you can only make out the shape slightly, but this should be the vessel and magical artifact they were stolen from.
Li Wei placed the three items on the ground and then stepped back, indicating that he had no intention of taking them back.
"How is it?"
Jiang Shaoxu carefully examined the three items in his hands, and after a while, he said with a sigh of relief, "They are indeed ours, and there is no possibility of them being switched."
"Well, I've kept my promise, haven't I? Now, can you move this little guy away a bit?" Li Wei was a little alarmed. The more harmless Xiao Qing seemed, the more afraid he was. Standing here made him feel like his life was in someone else's hands.
This feeling is very uncomfortable.
Su Ming chuckled softly, and seeing Jiang Shaoxu nod, he slowly took an item out of his pocket.
Su Ming knew that Jiang Shaoxu thought the same way he did: letting this uncle go was all bullshit; he stole something and wanted to run away.
There's no such thing as a free lunch. I was just worried about how expensive the summoning system was, and now the resources are here for me.
This uncle has collected a lot of treasures from mages in his spatial ring. Because of his spatial abilities, he has never been caught. As long as he gets these things, he can live a comfortable life for a while and won't have to worry about burning money on summoning.
With this in mind, Su Ming immediately called Xiao Qing and used hand gestures to instruct her to subdue the older man.
Su Ming had never seen Xiao Qing fight before, so this was a good opportunity to get a full understanding of her.
Upon receiving the command, Xiaoqing instantly unleashed a gust of wind, bending the trees along the roadside and making a rustling sound.
Xiaoqing quickly approached Li Wei, surrounded by two small tornadoes. As she got close, the tornadoes swept towards Li Wei, intending to subdue him.
Li Wei was startled and shouted.
"Mind Control - Begone!!"
An invisible force destroyed the tornado, forming a barrier-like structure around Li Wei that prevented the tornado from getting close.
Xiaoqing seemed dissatisfied with her failure on her first attempt. Without waiting for Su Ming's instructions, Xiaoqing waved her short arms.
The wind in the air formed sharp blades.
The wind blades weren't large, but each one was sharper than a sword or knife, easily carving deep cracks into concrete.
Mind Control: Dispel is the strongest magic Li Wei can use. It can block both tornadoes and wind blades, and can even counter the wind blades.
But human magical power has its limits, while demons do not. Xiaoqing is a kind of elemental holy spirit, according to Grandpa Liu, and Su Ming will assume so for now.
However, the elemental spirits fight not with the magic power within their bodies, but with the natural forces of the outside world.
Xiaoqing controls the wind; she is a child of the wind. She can control all the wind elements around her at will. In a prolonged battle, Li Wei is no match for Xiaoqing and can only be suppressed and beaten.
After the battle, Xiaoqing was unharmed, while Li Wei had many injuries, his body was bent over, his strength was obviously exhausted, and his magic energy was severely depleted.
Li Wei was furious. He had been outmaneuvered. If he had been prepared to run for his life from the start, he might have already left this place.
But now it's impossible. Xiao Qing is getting fiercer and fiercer. The wind element in the air has reached a terrifying level. With a casual wave of her hand, she can unleash a slash. To defend against the slash, she would have to exert all her strength. And Xiao Qing has countless slashes like this, which are impossible to block.
Li Wei roared at Su Ming and Jiang Shaoxu, who were watching the scene and casually offering their comments.
"You beasts! You two beasts! Young men ganging up on me, an elder over fifty, have you no traditional virtues of respecting the elderly and caring for the young?!"
Li Wei saw what Jiang Shaoxu was holding. He knew that Su Ming was not lying; she really did have a demon-slaying tool. As long as Xiao Qing showed signs of weakness, the attack from the demon tool would fall on him, which would be a dead end either way.
"Come on, being 'hello' doesn't necessarily mean you care about children. You have the nerve to steal things belonging to minors? Where's your shame?"
Su Ming didn't pay much attention to Li Wei and instead commented with Jiang Shaoxu.
Jiang Shaoxu put away the demon-slaying tool in her hand; it seemed she no longer needed it.
Xiao Qing is very strong. Li Wei's spatial ability is at the initial level two, but he was completely suppressed by Xiao Qing throughout the match. That's the power of the summoning ability.
The most expensive department, but if you train a good one, you can make a team.
Xiao Qing's fierceness was expected, but even Su Ming hadn't anticipated it being this fierce.
Are fire magic and lightning magic as powerful as summoning magic?
No.
What kind of magic can do this, turning the wind in the air into its own?
Su Ming wanted to laugh, and then he laughed heartily.
The stronger Xiaoqing becomes, the happier he is.
The abilities he's demonstrating now are probably enough to rival some seasoned mages.
This is just a summoning skill. Once he masters the spatial skill, Xiao Qing will be the main force, and he will provide support.
Space-type attacks can be used to repel enemy attacks and restrict movement for a period of time. When combined with Xiao Qing's almost endless wind blades, it becomes an invincible force.
