Chapter 1667: Chapter 1662: A Gathering of the Learned
The person was naturally kicked out by Sha Ming.
Being silent didnât mean he was entirely willing to watch a monodrama there.
It was clear he didnât mind applying pressure in his own way, casually giving a bit of force.
Even after delivering that kick, he remained silent, without any unnecessary movement.
But precisely this reaction made it completely believable that he would kick another one down soon.
This time the victim was a member of the team closest to Sha Ming, apart from Elder Huang Leji.
And even Elder Huang, obviously did not expect him to do such a thing, so he didnât have time to intervene.
"Are you crazy?"
Fortunately, amidst the real empathy, others who were also bleeding gritted their teeth and blocked the victim in shock.
And while watching this scene, Huang Leji finally couldnât help but shout at Sha Ming.
"Of course not, but from the reaction, itâs obvious that you still havenât realized your real situation."
Seemingly influenced by Fu Qianâs style, Sha Ming, who attacked his teammates, merely glanced up and responded in a flat tone.
"And although itâs not aimed at you, I think the previous actions might help correct some of your excessive optimismâ"
As he spoke, Sha Ming even mimicked Fu Qian, slowly brushing his hand over his face.
As he did so, that withered face also showed some liveness.
Of course, even so, in terms of feeling, it still fell far short.
"Such as the weight of your chips."
With a synchronously restored voice, Sha Ming slowly made the final supplement.
...
So, the so-called morale plummeting below the horizon, is probably like this, right?
Fu Qian, who was also implicated and bleeding, naturally didnât miss the exchange here.
However, he didnât mind Sha Mingâs plagiaristic behavior, he only briefly commented on Huang Lejiâs groupâs reaction.
He naturally understood what Sha Ming referred to as "excessive optimism."
Though the whole rescue team has now become a supporting role, it doesnât mean their survival instinct is extinguished.
And as mentioned before, their only chip in this matter is the "bonds."
Working together, at the right time, using self-harm as a threat, thereby seeking a slim chance.
This was also the ultimate confidence behind Elder Huangâs order to rush down.
Although reality is cruel. Soon, this mysterious figure, himself, was found to be a demigod, making the threat of self-harm lose its weight.
But the thirst for survival never easily diminishes; the team members still didnât abandon their restless thoughts, because aside from themselves, there was another target to threaten.
Especially Brother Sha Ming obviously seemed to have better control over the situation.
Unfortunately... whether kicking or beautifying, Sha Ming demonstrated through real actions that his resistance to the threat was not weaker than his own, evenâ
"Are you a demigod too?"
Huang Lejiâs cry was somewhat sharp, already disregarding the impact of his speech on morale.
"Thatâs an interesting question, but how would I say... Technically, I was half an hour ago."
Unexpectedly, confronting this question, Sha Ming showed an unusual patience and meticulousness.
Even though he was answering while looking at Fu Qian.
...
"This mental projection, even exploration activity is helping you grow? And now you are more than just a demigod?"
As if he was the teacherâs most trusted student in the class, witnessing Huang Lejiâs speechless appearance under attack, Fu Qian did not disappoint expectations and casually answered.
"Correct."
It was clear that Teacher Sha was very satisfied with this, immediately giving praise.
"It seems your existence state is indeed quite special."
Fu Qian appeared thoughtful.
"You donât believe?"
"No, I do believe. I even believe youâre saying it now not to boast but to prompt me to work hard, because now youâre more than a demigod and itâs hard to say what youâll become if you drag it on."
Signaling not to consider himself that shallow, Fu Qian even bluntly acknowledged Teacher Shaâs good intention, successfully triggering a burst of hearty laughter.
Though it wasnât from Sha Ming.
"Such growth-type fellows look far more troublesome than me, yet you guys donât prioritize handling them?"
Fu Qian looked at the happily laughing Brother Sanxun, expressing doubt about their conduct, not worried about being overheard by Sha Ming.
"Naturally, itâs because we will grow together."
Unfortunately, Sir Sanxun sounded unaffected.
"Although merely a self-righteous opportunist, without him you wouldnât have arrived here so quickly, would you?"
"And how do you know, no one is handling it?"
...
Indeed a colleague in a certain sense?
It was evident that Sir Sanxun wouldnât be provoked, but he wasnât inclined to keep secrets for Sha Ming either.
Casually revealed content still allowed some things to be heard.
Though not directly incarnating like the Cycle Enforcers, Sha Mingâs power was obviously closely related to "truth."
Any struggle attempting to escape the cage would simultaneously benefit them.
And their current goal was utterly consistent, which is himself.
The reason Brother Sanxun was laughing was simple; he ignored his rallying and conversed with others, ultimately bringing another pressure.
And his last sentence, to some extent, proved the previous speculation, which is there could very well be another Cycle Enforcer in Sha Mingâs view thatâs invisible to him.
Only he coped with it effortlessly.
This is what you call planning, Blood Lionâs little tricks being used as consumables are really not worth mentioning.
"Wonderful."
Even clapped twice, Fu Qianâs gaze swept across Huang Lejiâs group, received one wooden stare after another.
It was clear they had already grasped the spirit, understanding their unique fate was to stand there as part of Sha Mingâs leverage against himself.
The space to struggle never existed.
"So does Miranda know the real plan?"
Old Master Huang faintly wanted to say something, but unfortunately Fu Qian ignored him and suddenly asked a somewhat abrupt topic.
"Ha ha... Itâs rare that you care about that, but even if I say sheâs merely being used, you probably wonât believe it, right?"
Sha Ming showed considerable cooperation, even giving advice with great self-awareness.
"Why donât you ask her yourself?"
"Good idea."
And Fu Qian seemed genuinely receptive, even directly turning to look at the direction they came from.
"So do you know youâre being used?"
"I..."
A brief silence, next moment broken by a somewhat familiar voice.
Mirandaâs slender figure emerged from not too far away.
