Soul Dominator of the Devouring Star

Chapter 20 A Little Talent

boom!

With the force of splitting Mount Hua, the Broken Army Halberd severed the head of a high-ranking beast soldier, the Wild Bull, who was trying to escape.

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground and the few beast-soldier level monsters that had already fled far away, Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief and didn't bother to chase after them.

"The souls controlled within the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls are indeed very powerful, especially when facing an attack, where they are extremely effective. Whether it's attacking, interfering, or monitoring."

The only downside is that it relies entirely on brute force when attacking.

Furthermore, continuous attacks will significantly weaken the monster's soul.

While feeling satisfied, Qin Ming also began to summarize the problems he had discovered in this battle.

Within the Myriad Soul Banner, there was only one high-level beast general soul, the Bone-Eating Giant Python; the rest were mid-level and low-level beast generals. However, the power unleashed by these beast general souls surprised Qin Ming.

For example, the most direct soul attack will instantly freeze monsters of the same level, causing them to fall into a daze.

This kind of dazed state is extremely fatal to a spiritualist.

Unfortunately, these monster souls only know the simplest attacks. Qin Ming tried to teach them some more advanced attacks, such as the Spirit Spike from the "Basic Techniques of Spiritual Masters".

However, even the strongest Bone-Eating Giant Python could not learn it.

The throwing knives they control are extremely powerful. In terms of sheer power, a throwing knife controlled by the soul of a mid-level beast general is slightly stronger than one controlled by the beast itself.

However, they also lack the ability to exploit weaknesses and rely entirely on brute force.

"Although Beast General-level monsters have a certain level of intelligence, they are still wild beasts after all. If they were Lord-level monsters, they might be a bit better off."

Furthermore, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner lacks a main soul. If a main soul were present, it might be able to ensure that commands are obeyed without question.

The monster's soul is weakened after the continuous attacks, which cannot be resolved for the time being unless the main body of the Myriad Soul Banner is removed and a Netherworld Domain is formed.

But now is not the time.

After collecting most of the monster souls into the Myriad Souls Banner, leaving a few beast general souls to roam and keep watch around, Qin Ming turned and walked towards the direction of the captain and the others.

As the owner of the Myriad Souls Banner, Qin Ming actually knew that the Myriad Souls Banner was somewhat similar to a domain treasure.

If it is taken out and its power is displayed, it can form a domain-like structure. Within this domain, the souls controlled by the Myriad Soul Banner will be continuously replenished, and their strength will be greatly enhanced.

They can maintain peak combat power until their soul power is exhausted.

Even when he was alone, Qin Ming never thought of taking out the Myriad Soul Banner, let alone in front of everyone.

Demonstrating his strength and talent will make the military pay more attention to him and grant him more resources.

It only brings him benefits, not harm.

But bringing out the treasure is a test for the others.

It's not that he doesn't trust the higher-ups; that would be asking for trouble. Unless he has enough power, he would never openly reveal the Myriad Soul Banner.

"Captain, mission accomplished!"

Qin Ming, brimming with bloodlust and having vented his inner rage, walked up to Lu Haochuan.

"Well done! No, I should say very well, better than I expected. Your talent as a mentalist is stronger than I imagined." Lu Haochuan looked at Qin Ming, who was covered in blood, with some emotion.

As an elite high-ranking general, he would find it difficult to defeat thousands of monsters in a single battle, and it would take him much longer than Qin Ming.

"However, we still need to be careful. There's no need to confront the monster head-on. The reason we humans are able to suppress monsters is mostly due to our intelligence."

A prolonged battle will greatly deplete your mental and physical strength, and if the monster finds an opening, you'll be in danger.

"Hehe, the captain's right. I did get a little carried away."

Qin Ming chuckled and didn't refute.

With the Myriad Soul Banner, he had no problem with energy consumption and only grew stronger with each battle. During the slaughter, the souls of all the monsters were devoured by the Myriad Soul Banner, including some of their life force, which was also drawn into the Myriad Soul Banner.

Being violently cut into blood mist by the flying knife also has its advantages, namely that when his Myriad Soul Banner absorbs the essence of flesh and blood, no one else can detect it.

In the carnage of the battlefield, who isn't covered in blood?

But there's no need to say these things.

"Good to know. You take a rest first, and let the others come and collect the bodies. Then we'll continue clearing the way; we're about to enter the truly dangerous area."

Lu Haochuan nodded, but in his heart he no longer regarded Qin Ming as a new recruit.

In terms of strength, Qin Ming is already stronger than the others in the team. Only he and Yue Shan can keep up with him; the only difference is some experience.

"Okay, sure."

Qin Ming casually found a seat on the small building and sat down. While the Myriad Soul Banner allowed him to maintain peak combat power, the prolonged mental strain still caused some fatigue.

Back with his teammates and several monster spirits on alert, he completely relaxed and felt incredibly comfortable.

"Qin Ming, you're amazing. I, Old Zhang, have finally witnessed what a genius is. Didn't you say before that you could only control 6 throwing knives to unleash their strongest power? I see you're manipulating 34 throwing knives now."

That's incredible! How did you do that?

Zhang Hao, carrying his warhammer, sat down next to Qin Ming and asked curiously.

Because the team now had a mentalist, he spent a considerable amount of time learning about relevant information. Most mid-level warriors could only control two weapons at full power.

The more you control it, the less powerful it becomes.

34, that's simply outrageous.

The other teammates nearby also looked on with curiosity and came over.

"Well, among the mental cultivation techniques I purchased, there is one called 'The Celestial God's Record.' By practicing it, one can strengthen their mental power and control more throwing knives."

Another point is that I use seven-element throwing knives, and these few are nine-element throwing knives, making it very easy to kill some beast-soldier level monsters.

Of course, there's also a bit of talent.

My mental strength might be slightly stronger than others, allowing me to multitask and switch between throwing knives at full power, unleashing maximum power from one of them.

Qin Ming said casually, this was a reason he had already thought of.

Don't ask, it's just talent!

There are very few top-tier mentalists in the entire Chinese nation, not even a single one at the planetary level.

Unlike the increase in strength and speed of a martial artist, mental power is mysterious and profound.

This isn't something he can say however he wants.

This is also a test, a test of the higher-ups.

"A little bit of talent?"

Zhang Yan grinned, feeling somewhat offended.

As for the secret technique Qin Ming mentioned, Flying Knife completely ignored it.

Which spiritualist doesn't practice secret techniques or buy good throwing knives?

But talent is something that can't be explained.

"That's so discouraging."

Ling Qianye complained that he was the youngest in the special forces team besides Qin Ming, only 25 years old, and he had always considered himself a genius.

But seeing Qin Ming go from not even being a martial artist to being stronger than him in just over half a month, he couldn't help but feel exhausted.

The group chatted on the rooftop, and before long a convoy of vehicles arrived from the base behind them, carrying a large number of engineering machines to quickly clean up the monster corpses on the street.

Qin Ming also took the opportunity to return to the convoy and clean up the blood all over his body.

"Let's go, keep going! The city is just ahead. Although we often clear this road and it's on the edge of the city, there are still a lot of monsters. We might even encounter a lord-level monster."

Next, we will fight in squads.

Proceed slowly!

After letting Qin Ming rest for a while and making sure he had recovered his strength, Lu Haochuan looked into the distance with a solemn expression.

The buildings were shrouded in mist, appearing and disappearing in the fog. Only some ruins of tall buildings could be vaguely seen, and the roars of monsters could be heard from time to time.

In fact, apart from the area near the war base, the entire city of 003 was shrouded in a gray haze, which even satellites could not penetrate.

City 003 is overrun with monsters, including lord-level monsters. Even hordes of tens of thousands of monsters are countless!

Even a war god wouldn't dare to be careless.

"Set off!"
