Chen Jixian rarely kept his eyes wide open for so long. He had just arrived and hadn't seen Chen Gu consecutively display skills from both the Radiation Missionary and Quantum Wizard professions; he was truly shocked.
Is this... a dual profession? Or does he have a powerful Quantum Wizard item? he wondered. It can't be a dual profession; no one has ever been able to hold two professions simultaneously. But the Bureau of Mystic Security would know about any items he possesses...
Chen Jixian furrowed his brows, realizing for the first time that this young man, Chen Gu, held many secrets.
Aviloya did not make any rash judgments. In this battle, aside from his primary Radiation Missionary profession, Chen Gu had only displayed one Quantum Wizard skill: Quantum Teleportation. If there truly was a powerful item, it could indeed achieve this. However, most items could only mimic one or two skills of a given profession; it was very rare for one to mimic three or more. Only if Chen Gu had fully displayed multiple Quantum Wizard skills could one preliminarily determine that he possessed more than one profession.
Aviloya found herself looking forward to it. If it truly is a dual profession, or even... a triple profession! That would be a monumental revolution in the field of Professionals! Let's wait and see, she thought.
Bai Xianya noticed that the two Professionals present didn't react to her uncle's words and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
Chen Jixian, a man of few words, remained silent. It was left to Aviloya, the senior figure from the Bureau of Mystic Security, to respond, "A Professional's abilities have limits. Chen Gu is only at the Second Energy Level. Although his Radiation Missionary profession is well-suited for combat and has astonishing destructive power, the number of times he can use his skills is limited. Simply put, lower Energy Levels mean less endurance. Take that surprise attack just now; based on my understanding of the Second Energy Level, Chen Gu can probably only manage that at most three more times."
It feels a bit strange for me to be commenting on a 'young boy's' lack of endurance, Aviloya thought, especially this particular guy!
Fortunately, no one present noticed these details.
Bai Yunpeng said with disappointment, "If we can just hold out for three more hours, our fleet will soon arrive!"
Aviloya said nothing more. No one knew if they could hold on.
At this moment, however, Bai Yunpeng placed his absolute trust in Chen Gu. "He has always been full of surprises! When we think he can't do something, he always succeeds! He will definitely lead those warriors and hold out until our reinforcements arrive! I firmly believe this!"
At the foot of the mountain, the insect swarm regrouped and charged again. These creatures had extremely low intelligence, lacking even basic emotions like sympathy for their own kind. They had only been momentarily dazed by the large explosion earlier; now, their attacks were as fierce as ever! Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Inside the cave stronghold, a scout monitoring the entire battlefield with mechanical eyes suddenly paled. He reported to Andrew, "Captain, another insect swarm has changed direction and is heading our way! Preliminary estimate... they'll be at the foot of the mountain in half an hour at most!"
A Blazing Mammoth Bug had already charged to the foot of the mountain. It let out a roar to the sky, and a large number of Giant-Armored Bugs, Specter Claw Bugs, and Large Specter Claw Bugs quickly gathered around it. Then, the colossal creature began its assault, starting a frenzied run up the mountain!
Andrew glanced back at Chen Gu, who said calmly, "Leave the Blazing Mammoth Bug to me."
Andrew gritted his teeth. "Did you hear that? The Master has already taken on the most powerful enemy! Are we going to bother him with these worthless grunts? Fight with all your might!"
Not a single warrior objected. Even though they knew that neither the Giant-Armored Bugs nor the Large Specter Claw Bugs were mere 'worthless grunts,' without heavy weaponry, it would be very difficult for them to harm these large insects. But as Andrew had said, could they really rely on Chen Gu for all the fighting? They were warriors, and they would maintain their pride as warriors, even if it meant dying in battle!
The sound of energy ammunition firing suddenly erupted. Specter Claw Bugs fell in droves. However, the Giant-Armored Bugs, Large Specter Claw Bugs, and the Blazing Mammoth Bug remained steadfast, advancing under the barrage of fire. Soon, they were only a little more than a hundred meters from the cave stronghold.
Some warriors couldn't help but look back at Chen Gu, who still remained motionless. Andrew angrily shouted, "Focus!"
The Master said he would handle it, and so he would—Andrew, the unwavering fanboy, was fully convinced.
Chen Gu stood sideways at a cave entrance, coldly observing the outside, but he still hadn't used Quantum Teleportation to strike.
The Blazing Mammoth Bug at the forefront was now eighty meters from the cave stronghold, closely followed by a large swarm of Giant-Armored Bugs. Some warriors began to panic, but Andrew, still firmly believing in Chen Gu, calmly fired consecutive shots. After more than ten shots, he finally killed a Large Specter Claw Bug.
The Blazing Mammoth Bug charged closer: fifty meters... thirty meters!
At this distance, its flame jets could directly strike the cave stronghold. If the fire sprayed inside, the warriors would be incinerated.
Some warriors couldn't contain the urge to flee. Just then, Chen Gu suddenly dashed out of the cave!
"Master!" Andrew cried out in alarm. Once he's outside the cave, he'll have to face a sky full of spikes and the bombardment of countless exploding artillery eggs!
When Chen Gu stood at the mouth of the cave, the Blazing Mammoth Bug had already raised its head high. In the ovary-like organs on either side of its head, large amounts of bio-plasma were being produced. It was gearing up for a double jet to completely incinerate the enemies inside the cave!
However, Chen Gu's eyes suddenly lit up with two bright beacons of light. Then, his upper body leaned slightly forward, and two terrifyingly hot rays burst forth.
Nuclear Fusion Ray Eyes!
His target was not the bio-plasma-filled organs on either side of the Blazing Mammoth Bug's head, but a spot slightly below its neck.
The mighty Nuclear Fusion Ray Eyes instantly burned through the Blazing Mammoth Bug's thick carapace. In a mere instant, the two beams pierced out from its back!
The enormous Blazing Mammoth Bug, dealt a fatal blow, crashed down in front of the cave stronghold without a struggle.
The Radiation Field had enabled Chen Gu to accurately locate the Blazing Mammoth Bug's true weak spot. This was also one of the reasons he had allowed it to get within fifty meters.
Andrew had no time to cheer and shouted loudly, "Master, come back quickly!"
From the sky, countless spikes and hundreds, if not thousands, of exploding artillery eggs sped towards him!
Chen Gu suddenly raised his hand. The spikes and exploding artillery eggs within a hundred meters in front of him began to slow, decelerating steadily until they all halted in midair.
Then, Chen Gu flipped his hand over, and all those spikes and exploding artillery eggs reversed direction.
With a fierce wave of his hand, Chen Gu sent the spikes and exploding artillery eggs hurtling back towards the Giant-Armored Bugs trailing the Blazing Mammoth Bug, at a speed even faster than their approach!
