Chapter 31

The reason is quite simple: under the fairy's appearance lies an extremely devious heart. This isn't the worst part; more terrifying is that in the entire Flying Tiger Team, her combat power ranks steadily in the top three.

A combat master-level devious fairy with over a million combat power, who would dare to mess with her?

What left the deepest impression on Yao Jing was not her smooth skin, long legs, or her peach blossom-like fairy appearance, but her name.

She is called Yao Jing, not only sharing the same surname but even the pronunciation of the names is very similar. When spoken quickly, it's hard to tell who is being referred to.

"Hello, Sister Jing." Yao Jing has low emotional intelligence, but she respects the strong the most. In the Flying Tiger Team, there are few people who can catch her eye, and Sister Jing in front of her is one of them. Of course, she has been in the team for a short time and hasn't recognized everyone yet. The Flying Tiger Team is a sharp tool in the hands of the City Lord, harboring many dragons and tigers, with many high-level experts.

"Captain is waiting for you." As she said this, Yao Jing gave a serious look at Yao Jing. The two women, one young and one older, exchanged a glance, their eyes full of sparks.

As for the meaning behind these glances, perhaps only they themselves could understand, and outsiders would find it hard to comprehend.

"Yao Jing has arrived, please sit down. What would you like to drink?" Fei Xue was extremely courteous, standing up to greet her and pouring the tea himself. In the entire Flying Tiger Team, there are very few who receive such treatment.

"Thank you..."

Tonight, the situation in the team is clearly different. The on-duty team members call her Sister Jing, and even Sister Jing calls her that, which means the events of the day must have spread.

In fact, it was even more exaggerated than Yao Jing had imagined. After the incident, Du Qian and Yao Jing were both given leave. Fei Xue returned to the team as soon as possible, and upon his return, the first thing he did was to issue a team-wide announcement order.

It wasn't an ordinary verbal order but a formal document that required the City Lord's seal and filing. Fortunately, no one on the City Lord's side dared to stop this order, and it was approved as soon as it was submitted.

From today, the original Flying Tiger Team member Yao Jing's position is adjusted to that of a Venerable of the Flying Tiger Team. No one is allowed to collide with Yao Jing in any form, whether actively or passively. The relevant regulations refer to the Venerable Regulations of the Flying Tiger Team.

Venerables are the ultimate martial power of the City Lord's residence. In terms of combat power alone, they are even above the Iron Guards of Sitong Yi. The entry requirement is a million combat power, meaning that the weakest Venerable is a combat master-level martial cultivator.

While the Venerables are indeed powerful, their numbers are too few to compare with the Iron Guards of Sitong Yi. The Iron Guards have hundreds of members, with more combat master-level martial cultivators than the Venerables of Pingchuan City.

For a second-level city like Pingchuan, which Zhu Ziqing has operated for decades, it is only勉强 (barely) able to increase the number of Venerables to double digits.

After all, combat masters, such powerful martial cultivators, are sought after wherever they go. The field army, merchant guilds, and the City Lord's residence, along with the defense army and the Flying Tiger Team, all need combat masters to sit in, leaving few for the City Lord's residence.

Pingchuan City is a second-level city, but it still has a population of over three million. Finding a divine master is not impossible, but the numbers are few. There are still some combat master-level martial cultivators.

The Venerables of the Flying Tiger Team are combat master-level martial cultivators. Fei Xue directly raised Yao Jing's status to the combat master level, which is a very high promotion.

It is often said that officials from the capital are three levels higher when they go to the local area. Although there is no explicit rule, everyone follows this unwritten rule. Now, Yao Jing is a member of the Energy Department's Iron Guards, under Sitong Yi, and can be treated according to this rule.

Yao Jing's combat power has already exceeded 220,000, making her a standard combat king. With her status as an Iron Guard, giving her the combat master-level treatment in Pingchuan City is quite reasonable.

Privately, team members who have a good relationship with Fei Xue have said that the boss is prepared to take drastic measures regarding Yao Jing.

If she curses you, avoid her. If she hits you, run fast. If you can't run, crouch down and cover your head. Don't talk about being unable to tolerate it; even if you can't tolerate it, you must endure it.

Such a domineering and unreasonable statement is usually not something Fei Xue would say, but this time, he said it.

Backtalk results in demotion, resistance results in death. This is the Zhou Shan Empire; do you think it's Zhenhai or Butian?

"Is there something, Yao Jing?" Seeing Yao Jing holding the teacup, neither drinking nor speaking, Fei Xue knew she had something to say, and it was something she was embarrassed to mention.

"Captain, can I borrow the team's combat techniques?"

Combat techniques, in full name, are spiritual energy martial cultivator combat skills. If spiritual energy is the power system of a kinetic vehicle, combat techniques are the transmission system.

With spiritual energy, you can have stronger strength, agility, and reaction, while combat techniques can unleash these superhuman abilities in ways that are hard to believe.

Two martial cultivators with the same combat power, one using ordinary attack methods and the other with combat techniques, the one with combat techniques will undoubtedly win, with no possibility of any surprise.

The cultivation of combat techniques has certain requirements and is not something all martial cultivators can learn. The threshold is combat king, meaning that with less than 150,000 combat power, even if the combat technique is placed in front of you, you won't be able to learn it.

To learn combat techniques, you first need to increase your combat power and then use it to form a combat position. A combat position is something intangible, like the spirit pool and the spiritual energy power furnace, all of which are inside the martial cultivator's body.

After forming a combat position, you can learn combat techniques. There are usually two ways to learn combat techniques: one is through books, understanding and practicing them yourself, and storing this understanding in the combat position until it is full, allowing you to use the combat technique in battle when needed.

The human body has limits, and so does the combat position. So far, the highest recognized number of combat positions is sixteen. Even if your combat power is higher, your body cannot bear more combat positions.

The second way is to use combat technique runes, which are high-end products researched by spirit rune masters. Runes can be anything, and combat technique runes can be understood as a book, a video, or a feeling.

Using combat technique runes to learn combat techniques is very easy. If you are given a book on combat techniques, the time it takes to learn varies greatly. A smart and talented person might learn it in ten days and be able to use it after a few months of practice. A less capable person might take months or even years, and many never learn it at all.

But with combat technique runes, even if you are a fool, you can instantly learn it, with the only difference being the degree of mastery. The same combat technique can vary greatly when used by different people.

There is the issue of combat power and the issue of the user. The deeper the understanding and the stronger the combat power, the greater the power of the combat technique.

As a war orphan, Du Qian, who received 500 spirit horns, still envied the spirit energy storage boxes outside, which are far from the resources used by combat kings.

Yao Jing is also a war orphan and knows that she has benefited greatly this time, as evidenced by the reactions of the on-duty team members, Yao Jing, and Captain Fei Xue. But the value of what she wants is really too high.

At school, Yao Jing had the opportunity to visit the merchant guild. Even the combat technique books were placed in the high-end area, with a minimum entry price of 1,000 yuan. As for combat technique runes, she only glanced at them from a distance, and none were priced below 10,000.

In terms of mentality, Yao Jing is not much stronger than Du Qian. With combat power far exceeding her classmates, she has only gained more confidence. After leaving school and joining the Flying Tiger Team, her 220,000 combat power is not enough to stand out.

Without the assassination incident today, it would take at least a few years to obtain a combat technique book.

Thick-skinned, she came to the captain, telling herself that this was not for herself. She has already figured it out; she is the bodyguard sent by Sir Sitong Yi to Du Qian. As a bodyguard, she must protect Du Qian well.

Her combat power is not high, and she has a combat position without combat techniques. How can this be? She must learn combat techniques, even if it's just one.

Fei Xue suddenly realized that he had forgotten this. With 220,000 combat power, Yao Jing must have already formed a combat position. If she is fast enough, she might already have three combat positions. She graduated from the war orphan school, where it would be impossible to learn combat techniques.

Not to mention combat technique runes, even finding a few combat technique books would be considered antique-level, long outdated.

Actually, it's not that he forgot. As a new member of the team, you haven't made any contributions to the Flying Tiger Team. Even if the team has many combat technique resources, they wouldn't give them to you. If they did, how would the other Flying Tiger Team members see it?

"There are, of course. How could I forget? Follow me, I'll take you to the martial equipment library's combat technique room. Our Flying Tiger Team's combat technique resources are quite rich, but the number of combat technique runes is limited, and their quality is only average."

"By the way, how many combat positions have you formed?"

"Three."

Hearing this, Fei Xue smiled. His judgment was indeed good. This girl's talent is top-notch, and one day, Sir Sitong might regret his decision.

"Yao Jing, how much do you know about combat techniques?" Fei Xue asked, knowing that Yao Jing's background is not good, and many things he considers basic knowledge, she might not have learned.

"From low to high, they are divided into seven levels: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, also known as levels one to seven." Yao Jing said seriously. She doesn't like to talk much, but she is particularly passionate about martial cultivation. Whenever martial cultivation is mentioned, she has a lot to say.

Fei Xue waited for a moment, seeing that Yao Jing didn't continue, and asked, "Is that all?"

"That's all."

Indeed, the teachers at the orphan school were just getting by. Teaching basic knowledge is considered passing, and if they teach some survival skills, they are considered good teachers. As for knowledge about combat techniques, they might not know much themselves.

"Combat technique runes are formed by spirit rune masters using their own combat power, understanding of runes, and the spiritual energy characteristics of combat techniques, spending a lot of time, effort, and combat power." Fei Xue could only give her a brief explanation.
