Duan Ming didn't know whether he had been a little hasty in agreeing to Peng Sisi's request.
He had never seen Du Qinggang fight.
But he had seen the security guard Uncle Huang, who possessed five Divine Marks, in action.
If Du Qinggang was about as strong as Uncle Huang, Duan Ming might not be able to withstand even a single move from him.
Yet he had now agreed to help Peng Sisi kill someone who might be even stronger than Du Qinggang, four years from now.
He had done it for Zhao Jie, who had died at a fiend's hands less than twenty minutes after becoming his friend.
Still, that was all four years away.
Besides, Peng Sisi had said she wouldn't blame him if he couldn't find that person when the time came.
"Come on, I'll take you back to school first. I'm dead tired right now and need a good rest." Peng Sisi started the car.
"Aren't we going to eat?"
"After seeing something that disgusting just now, how could I still have an appetite?"
Peng Sisi didn't know whether she had been right or wrong to ask Duan Ming to help her get revenge.
She had never had the idea in the first place.
But just now, the instant she saw Duan Ming swing his saber, she saw hope for revenge in this young man.
Although he still needed to grow, given his potential, perhaps he really could get revenge for her in four years.
If four years wasn't enough, then six. If six years wasn't enough, then eight.
She believed that one day, this young man would become one of the world's top Divine Power Masters.
In the span of a day and a night, two incidents had happened one after another.
First came the Church of the Dark Night, then the fiend Four-Eyed Ghost. Duan Ming was utterly exhausted.
Back at the dorm, he dropped into bed and fell asleep.
In his dream, he wielded his saber and slew fiends!
The speed of his strikes was beyond anything he could match in reality!
In less than three seconds, he swung his saber dozens of times.
His clothes were dyed red with blood, and the cold saber in his hand seethed with killing intent!
When the bloody dream faded, Duan Ming woke up.
Still groggy, he saw Dong Kai mopping the floor by the door.
Xu Dazhuang was sitting on his own bed, holding a magazine, his attention fixed entirely on the dirty jokes at the back.
Duan Ming would never forget that lecherous expression for the rest of his life.
"Duan Ming, you're awake?"
Hearing Dong Kai's voice, Xu Dazhuang came to his senses, hurriedly put down the magazine, and rushed to Duan Ming's bedside.
"It's nine." Duan Ming glanced at the time on his phone and asked Dong Kai, "Where's Fang Cheng?"
"He said it was too stuffy in the dorm and went out for a walk. He wouldn't let anyone go with him, either." Dong Kai sat down by the bed and asked excitedly, "Duan Ming, I heard you awakened your second Divine Mark, and even your Power of God appeared."
"Fang Cheng told you everything?"
"He did, he did. We talked out in the hallway so we wouldn't disturb your sleep." Dong Kai's eyes were full of envy. "You're a bit too fast, aren't you? Never mind awakening your second Divine Mark-you even awakened your Power of God."
"Duan Ming, everyone at school is saying you have Dual Divine Marks. Is it true?" Xu Dazhuang's eyes were full of curiosity.
Duan Ming froze.
How did even Xu Dazhuang know about this?
As far as he knew, the only people who currently knew he had Dual Divine Marks were the principal and Du Qinggang. Zhang Hongji might know too, as well as Uncle Huang, the security guard at the gate.
If Uncle Huang knew, he probably wouldn't tell anyone.
Could it have been Zhang Hongji?
In an instant, Duan Ming realized.
When he fought the woman from the Church of the Dark Night last night, Fang Cheng hadn't been the only one there. A second-year boy had also been present.
Fang Cheng had passed out when Duan Ming revealed his Dual Divine Marks, so he didn't know.
But the second-year boy had seen them clear as day.
It was very likely that the second-year boy had spread the news.
"Dual Divine Marks? If I had Dual Divine Marks, I'd wake up laughing in my sleep." Duan Ming opened the bottle of mineral water by his bed and took a sip. "There's no way Dual Divine Marks could exist in this world. Don't listen to their nonsense."
"See? That's what I said. How could it be possible?" Dong Kai smacked his lips.
Honestly, if Duan Ming did have Dual Divine Marks, Dong Kai might have felt a little better.
But Duan Ming didn't have Dual Divine Marks, and yet he had still managed to defeat the woman from the Church of the Dark Night.
They had clearly enrolled on the same day. How could the gap in their strength be so huge?
Dong Kai couldn't figure it out.
Neither could Xu Dazhuang.
"Duan Ming, people out there say your Power of God is a saber, but Fang Cheng says it's electricity. Which is it?" Xu Dazhuang asked curiously.
"Uh... well, there's electricity inside the saber."
"An electric saber?" Dong Kai blinked.
"Something like that." Duan Ming no longer knew how to keep making things up.
Actually, to tell the truth, he wanted to stand up and shout that he was done pretending, that he was laying his cards on the table: he had Dual Divine Marks and two Powers of God.
But doing that was too risky.
As he had said before, once word of the Dual Divine Marks got out, it would surely cause a sensation around the world.
Until he grew stronger, it was better to keep a low profile and develop.
That way, he could avoid some unnecessary trouble.
After what happened last night, two figures had become the talk of the school.
One was Duan Ming. At that very moment, there were already at least ten posts about him on the school forum, with over a thousand replies between them.
Most people were discussing whether Duan Ming had Dual Divine Marks and the fact that he had awakened his Power of God.
Even some of the school's Divine Power teachers had joined in the excitement.
The second figure was Uncle Huang, the security guard at the gate.
The whole school was buzzing with news that he was a Divine Power Master with five Divine Marks.
The security office, usually deserted, was now packed with people.
"Uncle Huang, since you have five Divine Marks, why are you willing to work as a security guard at the school? With your strength, you'd be entrusted with important duties whether you joined the Demon Suppression Army or the Divine Mark Association!"
"Being a security guard is easy and leisurely."
A very straightforward reason.
"Uncle Huang, I heard your full name is Huang Shanya. You couldn't be that 'Human Weapon' Huang Shanya who disappeared twenty years ago, could you?"
"No, we just happen to have the same name."
On the sports field not far away, Li Zhengming stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the crowded security office. "Who would have thought that Huang Shanya, the man known as the 'Human Weapon' in the Demon Suppression Army twenty years ago, would be working as a security guard at the Divine Power School?"
Du Qinggang, standing beside him, looked somewhat taken aback. "What? He's Huang Shanya, the 'Human Weapon' from the eastern fiend-extermination theater of operations twenty years ago? I thought he disappeared."
"Yes, he was missing for a while. No one knows where he went or what he did during those twelve years. All we know is that when he returned, the killing intent about him had vanished without a trace."
Li Zhengming said with a solemn expression, "Don't be fooled by how lazy and easygoing he looks now. I'm certain that when the human race needs him, this Human Weapon will bare his edge once more!"
The treasured sword had been sheathed, but it had never rusted!
