The Light, Dark, and Time Attributes of the Clow Cards
"Could it be that this boy who can turn into Slime burned your shoes?" Yun Xia asked, pointing at Xiao Han.
"No, it's mainly because I wasn't wearing shoes. I discovered that my Wandering Swordsman talent yields more rewards when I walk barefoot, and it doesn't hurt my feet," Chen Luo said.
"Oh my, Wandering Swordsman has this kind of talent? It's true that everyone's talent needs to be discovered. If you were to walk around naked, wouldn't you get even more rewards? Have you tried it?" Yun Xia suddenly asked with great interest, her tone filled with a hint of excitement.
"... What do you want to do?" Chen Luo looked at Yun Xia with some surprise.
Although Chen Luo did not read the other party's thoughts in order to prevent the other party from discovering his Herrscher of Knowledge, he could still sense the other party's emotions.
But now Chen Luo would rather not have this ability.
"Ahem, don't mind it, I was just curious." Yun Xia waved her hand, realizing her lapse in composure and trying to save face.
"Is this the one you mentioned Talent User can turn into Slime? Hey kid, what's your talent level? What's your name? I suggest you don't try to hide it. Your talent level represents how much we value you. The higher your level, the more we value your requests. Of course, don't exaggerate too much, we have a lie detector." Yun Xia turned her head directly and asked the boy in a rather forceful manner.
Yun Xia spoke very rudely, but Yun Xia had the right to.
After all, in this era where SS-rank Talent Holder have not yet emerged, S-rank Talent User represent the pinnacle of combat power.
Although those big shots came out early and sent a lot of good stuff to their factions, whether by coincidence or due to the rules, they all sent things that were defensive, trapping, or supportive, and none of them were items that could kill.
According to that foundational book, the rules of this world seem to favor the cultivation of a new power every millennium.
Talented people emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years.
Therefore, the first 50 years of each millennium are 50 years of flourishing development for Talent User.
Fifty years later, the seals of various powerful figures were broken, and they gradually joined this world.
Although this time, due to the invasion of that great traitor from the Abyss Plane, the time of the great being's birth was brought forward, and he was also given a lot of ancient knowledge as a bonus.
But the overall tone remains unchanged; it's just that Talent User are subject to certain constraints.
From the perspective of social order alone, this is a good thing, at least it will not lead to the awakening of those Talent User who then fight each other for territory, causing a third world war.
Those Remnants of the Old Era were also quite aware of this, at least until the end of this new 50 years, they tacitly accepted that this era belonged to the Talent User.
Therefore, these S-rank Talent User dared to openly challenge the Vatican.
That's because in an era when SS-rank Talent Holder didn't emerge, and when the powerful figures hadn't been unsealed, the Vatican really had to passively take hits.
Although the other party may have been given many powerful protective items by their god.
But a counterattack is truly impossible.
Of course, no S-rank Talent User has ever dared to actually overturn the Vatican, because although the Vatican's bigwigs didn't provide them with lethal weapons, you can't be sure if they provided some cultivation methods or techniques for one-time terrorist suicide attacks.
You can make tough statements, but you can't actually do them.
The only exception is Liu Wenxuan, whose talent lies in courage; he truly steps up when there is trouble.
Simply put, the soft fear the hard, the hard fear the ruthless, and the ruthless fear the reckless.
"Wow, it really is an A-rank Talent User. I've struck gold!" After confirming through various means that the other party was indeed A-rank Talent User, Yun Xia was still quite surprised.
"A hug. A reward." After her initial surprise, Yun Xia turned around and hugged Chen Luo.
"Huh?" Chen Luo was caught off guard by this turn of events.
What kind of reward is this?
I'd be happy if you could just get a Primogem quest.
"I'm so happy that you told me first, instead of telling Liu Wenxuan, when something like this happened," Yun Xia said, patting Chen Luo on the back.
"Ah Luo, beat her up! She took advantage of you!" Before Chen Luo could say anything, Herrscher of Knowledge, in Chen Luo's mind, said angrily.
I've never even held her before.
"Stop fooling around," Chen Luo Herrscher of Knowledge.
"Is this something to be so happy about?" Chen Luo patted Yun Xia on the shoulder, indicating that she could relax.
"Sigh, you don't know, there are quite a few rewards for recommending an A-rank Talent User to join the Relevant Department, and most importantly, you can recruit them into your own team before the Relevant Department tries to recruit them," Yun Xia whispered to Chen Luo.
"Oh, I see. I'm glad you're happy." Chen Luo nodded as if he understood something.
Perhaps it was because Chen Luo had been in contact with S-rank Talent User too much, and none of Chen Luo's puppets were below A-rank Talent User, so Chen Luo didn't think A-rank Talent User that powerful.
Chen Luo alone possesses at least three S-rank Talent.
If we include all sorts of strange and unusual skills and rate them, there might be even more S-rank Talent.
Putting everything else aside, that flight capability is at least A-level, and that's the minimum!
The innate flight ability is impressive, but the built-in Void Stealth is even more powerful.
And then there's "There's Always a Way Out," "Little Evil God Flying Kick," "Elemental Eye," and so on...
I can only say that with more experience, I've become indifferent to everything.
"Um, can I say something?" the boy asked cautiously.
The boy had no respect for Chen Luo, even after Chen Luo kicked him unconscious.
But Yun Xia was different. The young man sensed a terrifying aura emanating from Yun Xia, and his intuition told him that Yun Xia was not someone to be trifled with.
Chen Luo didn't have this feeling.
Yes, it's mainly because Chen Luo was good at hiding.
After all, Chen Luo was just a weak, helpless, and pitiful A-rank Talent User had only been freed from the Dark World for half a month.
Perhaps...
"What is it? Speak up." Yun Xia turned her head and looked at the boy with displeasure.
Can't you read the room?
"You said you would help me with the paternity test, to assess my mother's condition..." the boy said cautiously.
At the same time, the boy turned to look at the middle-aged man who was sandwiched between two burly men, his eyes filled with hatred.
"Oh, authentication? No need. Although those old relics can't be released now, quite a few people have learned the Mind-Questioning Secret Art' over the years. Simply put, it's hypnosis to get the other person to tell the truth. And within the Relevant Department, this kind of mind-reading technique can be used directly as evidence."
"If we were to test your mother for poison, we'd have to perform an autopsy and exhume her remains, which I'm sure you don't want, right? So let's just have a heart-to-heart talk. We can use the results as evidence to convict him directly. If he really did kill your mother, I can arrange for you to kill him yourself, and it would be legal. What do you say?"
"Really? Really?" the boy exclaimed excitedly.
"No, wait! You can't treat human life like this! I'm innocent! You have no evidence!" The middle-aged man next to him panicked after hearing these words.
Before Yun Xia could speak, the two burly men next to the middle-aged man each punched him, instantly silencing him.
"I know you're helping me for a reason, but if you can help me get revenge, I'll stick with you for life," the boy suddenly said, looking up.
The boy wasn't stupid; anyone who offered unsolicited kindness was either up to no good or a thief.
"Brother, although you stopped me just now, thanks to you I didn't break the law and will be able to continue walking normally in the sunlight without being wanted by the police," the boy said to Chen Luo.
This boy is quite clever; at least he can see that Chen Luo used the water balloon to treat him, and at the same time, he spoke well of the boy when explaining the situation.
What was originally a case of a teenager abusing a middle-aged man was twisted by Chen Luo into a mutual fight.
If the boy had actually killed the middle-aged man, he would certainly have avenged his family, but he might have been wanted by the police.
Then we really won't be able to walk in the sunlight again.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for giving me a chance to take revenge without breaking the law," the young man said sincerely to Yun Xia.
Murder is inevitable. The boy is not at the point where he can forgive his mother's killer, especially since the killer has been beating him for more than half a year.
If this grudge can be endured... this young man might become a genius who can destroy the world.
But not all murders are the same.
A murderer is a murderer who commits murder.
Another type of murder involved a police officer carrying out an execution order killing a murderer.
One was doing it to vent, the other was doing it for justice.
Although the outcome is the same, the reason for the action is justified, so the boy won't feel guilty.
Sometimes having a legitimate reason for doing something is indeed very useful.
Hearing the young man's declaration of loyalty, Yun Xia's eyes lit up.
Loyalty or not doesn't matter, Yun Xia has ways to make the other party obediently become her subordinate, but this person... this person can talk.
What a clever little devil!
"I wouldn't dare say that. You can call me 'big brother' if you want, because I'm a little older than you. This is your older sister, not your sister-in-law. She doesn't even have a boyfriend yet." Chen Luo quickly shook his head.
This little brat really doesn't know how to talk.
"Huh? No? Sorry. Seeing you two so close, I thought you were a couple," the boy apologized sheepishly.
"It's okay, we don't mind." Yun Xia waved her hand.
"..."
Chen Luo didn't speak because he didn't have time to deal with the boy at all; instead, he was trying to calm down the Herrscher of Knowledge who wanted to rush out and beat the boy up.
Herrscher of Knowledge, don't act impulsively, because acting impulsively won't help.
Chapter 213 The Light, Darkness, and Time Attributes from the Clow Cards
"Alright, you two take them back and use the Heart-Questioning Secret Technique to question them both. We won't let a bad guy go free, nor will we wrong an innocent person," Yun Xia said, pointing at the two burly men.
S-rank Talent User always have a few underlings around them, unless they are genuinely lazy.
The two burly men accompanying Yun Xia were top-tier offensive-type B-rank Talent User, and they were twins.
2+2 can summon a massive jet of water.
Ahem, these two brothers have the kind of talent where each of them is a top-tier B-level Talent User, and together they are top-tier A-level Talent User. They are a rare combination of talents.
As for how he managed to recruit the two of them as his underlings Chen Luo didn't know, but he did know that Yun Xia had succeeded through her own efforts.
So with these two brothers around, this A-rank Talent User and his stepfather are definitely not going to escape.
"Alright, let's go." Yun Xia said to Chen Luo as she watched the two people leading the other two away into the distance.
"Where are we going?" Chen Luo was taken aback.
"I'll treat you to dinner. After all, it's been a while since we last met, and you even gave me such a generous gift, so of course I have to treat you to dinner," Yun Xia said matter-of-factly.
"Sigh, but... but I've already made plans with Wenxuan to go to KFC together later, so..." Chen Luo was a little embarrassed.
Don't bring guests when someone else is treating you.
This is a basic rule.
Bringing strangers is not allowed, and neither is bringing acquaintances.
It's easy to understand why I shouldn't treat a stranger. I don't know you, so why should I treat you?
Even acquaintances are out of the question, which is understandable. Since they're all acquaintances, guess why I didn't invite them?
"Huh? You made plans to have dinner with that guy Liu Wenxuan?" Yun Xia's face twisted slightly.
"You, Chen Luo, the first person you saw after returning from your trip was Yun Lian'er, and the first person you treated was Liu Wenxuan. You didn't even think of me. Let me tell you, I'm angry!" Yun Xia her arms and looked at Chen Luo with considerable displeasure.
"Ah, but when I encountered A-rank Talent User, the first person I thought of was you!" Chen Luo felt quite wronged.
"Oh, that's true..." Yun Xia's momentum weakened a little.
"Then, I also heard that you gave Yun Lian'er one Mora." Yun Xia clearly didn't want to be put on the defensive so quickly, so she said.
"Good heavens, an A-rank Talent User isn't even worth a Mora?" Chen Qiaolu was dumbfounded. What kind of ingenious logic was this?
"Of course, one Mora is more valuable. There are plenty of A-rank Talent User in the world, but there's only one Mora." Yun Xia said confidently.
"Then I'll give you two Mora, okay? Don't be angry anymore." Chen Luo suddenly took out two Mora and said.
"Deal." Yun Xia snatched the two Mora from Chen Luo's hand and said.
"... Wow, you change your tune so fast! I suspect you're just after my Mora."
