With a slight shift in his body, the large net did not pass through Jiuming's body. The specially made net prevented Jiuming from escaping, even with the convenience of his soul form.
"Great! We've got him!"
Seeing Jiuming caught in the net, the guards who were lying in wait converged on him. Jiuming, who was covered by the net, crouched slightly, and his mental power erupted. To the amazement of the others, the large net was forcibly stretched and torn apart!
"How is this possible! How did he do it!" one guard shouted in disbelief, activating the weapon in his hand without hesitation.
It was actually a firearm?
Jiuming took a slight breath and dodged the barrage of bullets flying towards him. He used two fingers to pinch a bullet that grazed past him, but the bullet quickly passed through his fingers... The power of the bullet was not strong enough to harm him.
Unlike the net, it couldn't injure him!
He changed from pinching to grabbing, intercepting a bullet. Jiuming threw the bullet away, and the weapon in the hands of a distant guard, which had just shot the net, was immediately rendered useless. The bullets, to the astonishment of the other guards, passed through the body of the night raider and hit empty space. What kind of ability did this guy have?
The school's security force was indeed a bit strong. After subduing a few guards, Jiuming quickly moved to other areas.
"Ah ha~ I hope everyone has a good night's sleep." Jiuming glanced at the memory card in his palm, smiled slightly, and turned to leave. As he moved, he fully utilized his non-human characteristics, making his movements unpredictable. Even the large nets shot from other directions missed him.
"Want to leave? Stay here!"
Jiuming's body paused as he moved forward, raising his fist to block the attacker's strike. A loud sound of air bursting was heard where the fists collided, and Jiuming was pushed back, unaffected by the force. This attack intensity, even a physical attack, could injure a soul form.
He didn't know what the soul forms in other places were like, but were they completely immune to physical attacks?
Immunity has its limits. When physical attacks reach a certain level, they are no different from energy attacks. The momentum alone can injure a soul form. In other words, a soul form can be immune to physical attacks, but only up to a certain level. Below this level, as long as it's not an energy attack, it can be completely ignored. Beyond this level... powerful bullets and the heat and flames generated by friction with the air... how could a soul form be immune?
Therefore, to deal with powerful enemies, it's best to respond normally and not try to save effort. Many examples of failure are due to this. Even if they only use physical attacks, the force fields generated by their own power can injure a soul form. Yes, Jiuming had died many times in the training at the mysterious store...
"Who are you? What's your purpose here?" The man in combat gear, who had blocked Jiuming, frowned and stared at Jiuming, whose body was somewhat ethereal. He was on guard, as this person's ability was a bit strange, and he could even ignore bullets.
"Just a passerby. Can you let me leave? Your reaction is a bit excessive."
"Don't want to say? No matter who you are, stay... " Before the man could finish speaking, Jiuming had already charged forward, aiming a punch at the man's face.
The man was not to be outdone, grunting and kicking Jiuming's arm. After the collision, the man was even more surprised. Jiuming's arm was as immovable as a mountain, firmly blocking his kick.
"Very impressive!" he praised, as Jiuming's arm pressed against his leg, pushing him back at point-blank range!
Shocked!
How could there be such strength! The man tensed his body, trying to burst forward, but that arm still pressed down with a force he could not resist.
Bang!!
His heel hit the ground, and the surface visibly sank. The man's eyes twitched, and his leg, now numb from the impact, was shaking.
"Who are you...?" The man, unwilling to admit defeat in strength, stared with wide eyes. The muscles on his arms instantly bulged, and the power he unleashed tore his sleeves into shreds.
His punch created a burst of sound as it passed.
Huh?
Jiuming was slightly taken aback. The power of this burst was much stronger than the previous kick. He turned his head slightly, and the mist on his face was torn apart by the gust of wind from the punch.
"Who...!?"
Jiuming's face was too young!
At this age, to have such strength, where did this genius come from?
The unfamiliarity was clear. The man was certain that Jiuming was not from this academy.
"Just an innocent passerby, so you're really overreacting." Jiuming dodged the man's punch and pressed down on his other hand, speaking calmly.
Again!
The man tried to push the arm Jiuming was suppressing. Every time he burst with power, he felt a slightly stronger force from Jiuming that firmly held him down.
Being fully suppressed would be one thing, but this situation was frustrating. Just a little bit! A tiny bit!!
Just this little bit he couldn't break through...
Seeing Jiuming's light smile, indicating the end of the fight, the man's hair stood on end, and his chest felt as if it were being pierced by needles. His two fingers, slightly apart, were already pressing against his chest. If Jiuming used any force, the combat suit's defense would not be enough to stop the attack, and those two fingers would pierce through his chest, shattering his heart through the gaps in his ribs.
Is it over?
"Uh? Sorry, sorry, got a bit carried away. After all, you're pretty strong too." He smiled insincerely, and the man was immediately thrown away by a powerful force. "If we have the chance, let's do it again. Your perfume is a bit strong."
"You..." The man, who had a serious expression, now looked somewhat embarrassed. "Damn it, I've memorized your face! I hope you haven't done anything bad, or I won't let you off!"
After delivering his threats, the man stopped, stabilizing his body, and watched Jiuming leave with his unpredictable movements. Perhaps it was necessary to investigate this person?
"Captain... Is this okay?" A few guards who had caught up asked cautiously, looking at the man with a serious expression and a heavy aura.
"Hmm? What did you hear just now?"
"Ah? What did we hear?" The guards looked a bit confused...
The man nodded in satisfaction, and the heavy aura around him disappeared. "You guys did well. Come to my office tomorrow. Has anyone been injured?"
"No, just a few were knocked out," a guard quickly reported.
"What about other aspects?" The man was a bit helpless. Night raiding the girls' dormitory area... What was that kid trying to do? Who would wander there in the middle of the night?
"Not much of a problem. Captain Wang, you've worked hard tonight." Lan Jie and Zhou Jing arrived, and Lan Jie frowned slightly at the battle marks around them.
"Oh? Is that so?" Captain Wang thought for a moment. "Tonight was our mistake. I'll give you an explanation."
"That's not necessary. The other party's strength and ability made it easy for him to infiltrate without being noticed..." Lan Jie shook her head slightly.
"A mistake is a mistake. I'll give you an explanation," Captain Wang said firmly.
"Captain, shall we go?" After Lan Jie and Zhou Jing left, a guard asked cautiously, looking at Captain Wang, who was still standing with a serious expression. "We need to take the knocked-out brothers back."
"Sure! Let's regroup. Be more alert at night. You guys go ahead!" Captain Wang waved his hand with authority.
"Captain, aren't you coming with us?"
"..." Looking at the guard who seemed determined to wait for him, Captain Wang's face twitched, and he looked fierce. "Damn it! Can't I stand here a bit longer because my legs are numb?!"
Ahahaha...
Smiling, Jiuming swaggered into the dormitory building where Du Fei lived. The previous commotion had made the campus brightly lit, and many people were curious about what had happened, even wanting to go out and check. However, the dorm supervisors had strictly forbidden it!
After all, it was a school for psychics, and the dorm supervisors had to ensure a certain level of combat ability to prevent being overpowered by the students. Of course, some of the school's geniuses, who had been notified that the threat was eliminated, were let off with a blind eye.
Some of those geniuses were even more impressive...
Du Fei's roommates really had big hearts. Except for Du Fei, who was restless due to other matters, when Jiuming returned, the lights were still off, and the other students were sleeping like pigs.
As soon as he saw Jiuming, Du Fei sucked in a cold breath and lowered his voice. "Was it you who caused the trouble at the school?"
"Yeah, just got caught by accident."
Du Fei's expression immediately turned horrified, and he took a slight step back, as if afraid to be associated with Jiuming. "Then! Then you dare to come back!?"
"Don't worry, I'm leaving soon." Jiuming smiled and opened his palm. "But our deal still stands. Seventy photos, still in the pajama version. How about it?"
Looking at the memory card in Jiuming's hand, Du Fei swallowed hard. He also noticed something that made his heart tighten. He finally confirmed that Jiuming's body was somewhat transparent.
Well, the existence of psychics in this world was commonplace, but ghosts... There were rumors about such things, like in some ghost stories.
But, he shouldn't be, right? Yes, it must be related to his ability. Some people's psychics can make them ethereal and immune to certain attacks!
"Really?"
"Take a look yourself." Jiuming threw the memory card to Du Fei, who caught it in a fluster and instinctively brought it to his nose. As expected, it had no trace of Jiuming's scent.
Then he regretted his action. "I didn't record your scent!"
"Ah, don't worry, don't worry. I don't really care." Jiuming smiled and sat on the windowsill. "Hurry up, I'm leaving soon."
Nodding, Du Fei quickly transferred the memory card to his phone. Looking at the photos of his dream girl, a sense of elation welled up inside him. He had photos that no one else had, making him feel much closer to his dream girl!
"So... the deal is done?"
