19: Section 19

He began to see the vibrant aura of life dissipating. With a shift of his gaze, the Death Stalker Spider lurking in the bushes became clearly visible!

Holding the bristle-tusk spear, the vibration of the bristle-tusk reflected into his heart.

He adjusted his posture and threw it with all his might!

"Whoosh!"

Amidst the sharp sound of air being pierced, the moment the bristle-tusk spear left his hand, Su Ming knew that the camper lurking eighty meters away was a goner!

Sure enough.

Su Ming strolled over to the spot.

What came into view was the spider's corpse, its head pierced by the bristle-tusk spear and pinned to the ground!

He pulled out the bristle-tusk spear and used Gathering!

[You obtained: Venom Fang * 2, Spider Silk * 4, Sharp Appendage * 4]

It was obvious that as an L2 Gatherer, using the Collection Skill resulted in less loss and more gain!

He stared at the materials in his backpack, such as the venom fangs, beast bones, and sharp appendages.

A certain divine inspiration surfaced in his mind—"I reckon these materials are just right for crafting a batch of proper javelins!"

Thinking it, he did it!

Creation activated!

A moment later, four javelins came into view.

Beast bones for the shaft, venom fangs for the blade!

After enchanting and shaping them with four sharp appendages, a set of throwing weapons was naturally produced.

"So that's how it is."

Su Ming realized.

The L2 Creation Scholar had granted Su Ming a near-divine sensitivity to materials.

He was gradually able to instinctively know what things, when combined, would ultimately create a certain level of Creation, and when the materials required by a formula did not match, he also knew which materials were most appropriate for substitution!

Chapter 22: Self-Developed Moves

If skills define the lower limit, then the increase in profession level is a breakthrough in the upper limit!

Take the Gatherer as an example.

The L2 Gatherer is not just an upgrade in quality and quantity.

It also invisibly improves the operability of the Collection Skill!

Now, holding the right to define a unit of material in his palm, a brainwave he had previously imagined truly had the possibility of being realized.

Gathering target: The air in front!

Unit definition: Cylindrical standard frame!

Gathering activated.

A strong sense of being pushed from behind struck him, and Su Ming, who had been prepared, sprinted forward.

At the same time, he opened his backpack and synchronously released the air unit he had just recovered behind him.

And so.

The sensation of being pushed forward was more than twice as strong!

By the time Su Ming stumbled to a steady footing and looked back, he was more than thirty meters away from the starting point!

"Holy crap! Did this thirty-plus meters take even 0.5 seconds?"

In all likelihood, no!

When sprinting at the start, that feeling of leaving the world behind was no illusion!

He took a deep breath.

Su Ming tried again.

He extracted the air in front, temporarily creating a vacuum tunnel.

Synchronously releasing the air to push himself forward with even greater speed!

"Boom!"

A sonic boom exploded, pushing Su Ming to race like a gale, a speed not inferior to a wild charge!

Forty meters away, just as he was about to stop, Su Ming's brain had a moment of impulse, and he excitedly threw another Collection Skill directly in front of him!

And so.

The high-speed dash continued.

The roar of air exploded again!

"Woo-hoo!"

Su Ming let out passionate, weird yells, and his speed soared once more.

Along the way, he kicked up countless fallen leaves and dust.

A Forest Wolf that couldn't dodge in time only had enough time to show an expression of terror before being cut in half by Su Ming, who flashed past and used his momentum.

Even more miserably.

Having just been beaten by the atmosphere once, in the blink of an eye, it was crushed by the atmospheric tornado sweeping in from behind.

"Splat."

The wolf corpse, cut into two pieces, exploded into two mists of blood on the spot!

Seeing this, Su Ming hurried to brake.

But he still sprinted another fifty or sixty meters before finally stopping.

He looked back.

A winding dragon of dust and smoke lay sprawled and spreading.

In less than fifteen seconds, he had sprinted a kilometer. Experiments proved that this move was indeed very effective.

"Let's call this move Tornado Charge."

"It's a bit chuunibyou, but it's just right for my age."

"It's a pity that it makes too much noise. It's fine for traveling or disengaging, but it's not very reliable for close-quarters maneuvering... However, since this is possible..."

"Then what about this..."

Unit definition!

Air extraction!

With a boom, a Calmness Flower twenty meters away was uprooted. Just as it was about to be swept by the air and fly toward Su Ming, it was crushed by the chaotic airflow.

Su Ming: "..."

Fine.

The Gatherer version of Death Grip is indeed not that simple.

Adjusting the unit definition, first creating a test-tube-like closed environment, then extracting the air again, and synchronously releasing it slowly to ensure reliability.

Finally.

A weed floated and rolled back in an invisible air test tube.

"Ah, this... it feels too rough!"

Picking up the wilted weed, Su Ming felt helpless. Controlling the airflow for harmless retrieval was basically impossible, which meant that the special version of Death Grip could only be applied in the combat field.

After adjusting the direction.

The progress was indeed rapid.

In less than half an hour, Su Ming had mastered the essence of the special version of Death Grip!

Because it was used against enemies, the rougher the airflow was during the retrieval, the more appropriate it was.

He was also worried that if he dragged a tough guy over, a rougher airflow would at least disrupt the target's center of gravity. At that time, seizing the opportunity, he could stab him with one strike... Tsk tsk!

As for this move.

To avoid being hunted down by Death Knights, Su Ming named it: Reverse-Flow Grip!

As the saying goes, sharpening the axe does not delay the woodcutting.

And so.

A five-meter-tall giant bear illustrated with its life... It's not that I'm afraid of your explosive damage, it's that I'm afraid of your disgusting mechanics!

When Su Ming used Tornado Charge to stir up boundless clouds and wind, on the other side, the Stone-Skin Savage Bear had just taken a fighting stance, and in the next second, it was stabbed, leaving a bloody hole by Su Ming, who flashed past.

Su Ming, who had been prepared, continued to charge forward, but suddenly turned halfway, circling behind the Stone-Skin Savage Bear.

He raised his hand and used Reverse-Flow Grip!

The Stone-Skin Savage Bear, roaring as it adjusted its position, stumbled and flew backward sideways. With a splat, the bristle-tusk spear pierced its skull!

Yes.

This elite beast, in the end, didn't even release a single transcendent skill!

It was instantly killed by Su Ming!

This was a literal instant kill!

The whole process took only 0.8 seconds!

And what was the cost?

A mere four or five points of energy!

That loss could be recovered in less than three minutes!

However...

A new problem arose!

"How am I unscathed amidst the violent airflow disturbance?"

Transcendent power only has control, not friend or foe!

A fireball can just as easily burn the user!

A sword aura can just as easily pierce the sword-bearer!

If it were the previous Su Ming, knowing that such a mechanism existed would be enough; he wouldn't get to the bottom of it and ask why.

But having been taught by Zhixin for a good half of the day yesterday.

It allowed Su Ming to regain the state he had when preparing for the college entrance examination.

The Dao essence of All-Thing Analysis turned his eyes into a deep azure sky.

Boom.

Su Ming darted fifty meters away at high speed.

He frowned and stopped.

After pondering for a moment, Su Ming stirred up dust and fallen leaves again, racing hundreds of meters away before stopping.

"So that's it..."

The azure in his eyes faded, and Su Ming was stunned for a moment.

Why could he stir the airflow without injury?

Simple.

The 17-point Inspiration attribute granted Su Ming extraordinary spiritual perception!

Like his mortal self, who didn't need precise calculations to master the technique of threading a needle, now that he had stepped into the transcendent realm, that subconscious, precise control over his body had been synchronously enhanced!

When using high-risk moves like Tornado Charge.
