Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
No one around noticed Liu Ning's little movements; they were all drawn to Lin Lei's attack. As everyone saw, if anyone got too close, even if Lin Lei didn't want to hurt you, he couldn't change the way the fireballs were. Previously, Lin Lei always had a fireball circling around him, but now Lin Lei had launched four fireballs, causing them to attack simultaneously.
No one around noticed Liu Ning's little movements; they were all drawn to Lin Lei's attack. Because Lin Lei's attack was a ranged attack, everyone kept their distance. As everyone saw, if anyone got too close, even if Lin Lei didn't want to hurt you, he couldn't change the way the fireballs were. Killing the opponent was Lin Lei's current priority, so it was best to stay away. The mage didn't say you couldn't watch, but if you delayed his battle and caused collateral damage, then I'm sorry. I told you from the beginning that you had to keep a certain distance. If you just leaned forward, you can only blame yourself for having poor defense.
Liu Ning could tell that Lin Lei had been affected. Previously, Lin Lei always had a fireball circling around him, but now Lin Lei had launched four fireballs, causing them to attack simultaneously. This did increase the attack power, but it also left Lin Lei less safe. If anything went wrong, he might lose his life.
However, Liu Ning quickly realized that Lin Lei would not dare to train like this elsewhere, but with Liu Ning by his side, Lin Lei was putting his life in Liu Ning's hands. At that moment, Liu Ning felt a huge responsibility. If anything went wrong, humanity would lose a magician. Such a responsibility was probably beyond his ability to bear. Therefore, he had to watch with full concentration. These things could not be changed and he had to rely on his true strength.
Just as Liu Ning had guessed, Lin Lei could only create a maximum of four small fireballs. Every time a small fireball dissipated, another one would immediately appear next to Lin Lei, and the battle would continue in this endless cycle. Although Lin Lei's physical strength was not strong enough, the murderers could not get close. Whenever they tried to rush into the defensive circle, Lin Lei's fireballs would seize the opportunity to deliver a heavy blow. This kid was using himself as bait to attract these murderers to keep moving forward. In the end, all the murderers fell into the trap, but they had no chance to get close to Lin Lei. They could only be killed by Lin Lei, reducing their own health and combat power.
As for Linley's last line of defense, Liu Ning thought of the Fire Resistance Ring from earlier. If those two ferocious beasts really bypassed the fireball and entered, Linley also had the Fire Resistance Ring. From this perspective, mages have too many ways to protect themselves. Liu Ning was overestimating himself at this moment. Linley was indeed a frightening guy, and his various skills were too strong. This also strengthened Liu Ning's resolve to become a mage in the future. No matter how difficult it was, he had to become a mage. Becoming a mage would be even more powerful than becoming a psychopath, something that no one else could compare to.
About 10 minutes later, Lin Lei finished his fight. Although it lasted a little longer than Liu Ning's fight, everyone still felt a bit unsatisfied. After all, they had seen Liu Ning's attacks before, and although some were astonishing, they were still mentally prepared. But it was different for the mage. The mage's attacks were simply too dazzling, like watching a beautiful movie. They really didn't want the mage's attacks to end, especially when the mage had the upper hand. One fireball after another spun back and forth in the sky. This scene was just too beautiful. After this, they might never be able to cooperate with the mage again in their lives. Such an opportunity was hard to find even with a lantern.
"Hey everyone, stop standing around here. The battle's over. Shouldn't we get down to business and dissect all the useful materials? If you keep reminiscing, we'll probably have to start another attack, and you'll see even less. So, while a mage's attack is dazzling, it shouldn't interfere with our normal work. We didn't come here to make money, did we? Don't you all want to make money? If that's the case, then I'm going back to the car to sleep. Let's all get back to work!"
Five full minutes passed, and Liu Ning still hadn't seen anyone dissect the beast. Frustrated, he had no choice but to inform the group: "If you guys continue like this, we might as well stop cooperating. We didn't call you out here to play around. How can we continue if you keep acting like this?" Lin Lei shook his head helplessly. This attack method had never been used before; it was his trump card. Liu Ning trusted these people, and they trusted him, which was why he revealed it. However, Liu Ning had also stated that no one was allowed to film the scene. If anyone was discovered, it wouldn't be as simple as being expelled from the team; Liu Ning would personally kill the person, showing no mercy. This was one reason why Lin Lei dared to use his ultimate move.
The team consisted of long-time members who had followed Liu Ning for a long time. They naturally knew what their captain hated most: betrayal. If someone posted the video of this place, it was no different from betrayal. If the boss was unhappy, then you would have to get out of the team. Putting aside how much money they made this time, they would never do such a thing, considering the kindness Liu Ning had shown them in the past. People are all made of flesh and blood, and it wouldn't be easy to find a captain like him again.
It looked excellent at first glance, but the dissection was a different story. Although Linley's work was excellent, over 30% of the culprit was damaged, meaning some materials were unusable. This was perfectly normal. When those small fireballs swept past them, they felt the surrounding temperature increase significantly. Moreover, the fur of these ferocious beasts was completely ruined, burned to ashes. They could only salvage the bones and blood—a price borne by mages in combat. Someone like Yale could definitely retrieve the complete remains, but Linley's attack power was higher. Fire mages couldn't obtain intact materials; this was common knowledge in the martial arts world.
Lin Lei looked at everyone apologetically, realizing that this loss was entirely his fault.
