Chapter 35 Planning
Qin Fengqing nodded and accepted the student ID.
After saying goodbye to Li Changsheng, he didn't plan to go straight back to his dormitory, but instead decided to take on a few missions.
For Qin Fengqing, who has just broken through, actual combat is the best whetstone. In the three days he has to wait for this new weapon, he should have more than enough time to complete a few missions.
Qin Fengqing went to the mission area to check what missions were available.
For the student mission system of Magic Martial Arts, there are very few fifth-rank missions; there are only a handful available.
Normally, students at Magic Martial Arts University would only be able to break through to the fifth rank by the second semester of their senior year, and by that time, they would be spending most of their time fighting in the underground caves.
Qin Fengqing carefully examined the tasks.
Fifth-rank mission
Name: Chen Yu
Sex: Male
Age: 45 years old
Strength: Rank 5, early stage; proficient in the mid-grade combat technique, Shattering Void Fist.
Case: In 2009, a group broke into a large company in the middle of the night to seize its resources. The attack was later discovered, resulting in 3 deaths and 10 serious injuries.
The deceased were all mid-level fourth-rank martial artists who fled after the incident and were eventually found outside the Fifth Ring Road.
......
"Fifth-rank mission: Sweep away medium-sized strongholds."
Requirements: It is recommended that two Rank 5 martial artists form a team to go!
Strength distribution: One fifth-rank martial artist, three fourth-rank martial artists, and several low-rank martial artists.
This is the most difficult task.
It would be almost impossible to complete without the strength of a sixth-rank martial artist.
Because there is not only a mid-level deacon at the peak of the fifth rank, but also five fourth-rank martial artists and many low-rank martial artists who can keep them in check.
Being besieged would be extremely dangerous.
However, all of these were within Qin Fengqing's control.
So Qin Fengqing accepted all the fifth-rank missions, intending to complete the other fifth-rank missions first, and then complete the final cleanup missions after obtaining the new weapon three days later.
......
Within the Fourth Ring Road.
In a perfectly normal building, on the third floor, in a very ordinary room.
A seemingly normal middle-aged couple, with the woman cooking food in the kitchen.
Although he was cooking, his attention wasn't on the food. Instead, he murmured in a voice only the two of them could hear, "This year's mission to kill the most talented martial artists hasn't been completed yet, and the elders are already questioning us."
The middle-aged man sitting in the living room reading the newspaper said softly, "It's not that easy to really kill a prodigy martial artist. Which one who can be called a prodigy doesn't have the strength of a peak fourth-grade martial artist?"
As you know, among the students at Wuhan University, a peak fourth-rank martial artist is enough to contend with a fifth-rank steward.
Even if they are outmatched, they can hold out until a stronger force arrives to rescue them.
As for sending out sixth-rank martial artists, the instructors at Martial Arts University are no pushovers.
Moreover, martial arts prodigies who have all reached the peak of the fourth rank would hardly be carrying out missions on the ground; they would almost always go down into the underground caves to complete their missions. If they can't even be found, how can the missions be completed?
Upon hearing this, the woman said, "Currently, our stronghold has not yet completed the annual task of hunting down prodigies. The elders are very angry and have already summoned me to reprimand them."
As for prodigies, the one who has recently become famous is Qin Fengqing, a third-year student at the Magic Martial Arts University, who can kill a peak fifth-grade martial artist at the third-grade level.
If we can kill it, we will be able to complete this year's mission and receive a reward.
Qin Fengqing's bounty is quite high.
The middle-aged woman spoke, but her hands didn't slow down as she placed the cooked food in front of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man put down his newspaper and said solemnly, "Are you sure? You should know that kid is already capable of killing a peak fifth-grade expert."
If the high-level experts don't intervene, then it's up to the two of us to make a move.
Currently, among the stewards, only the two of us have broken through to the sixth rank.
To deal with a third-rank martial artist, we both need to act at the same time. Otherwise, given that kid's strength, if only one of us acts, he'll likely escape.
But have you considered that there are instructors at Magic Martial Arts University still tracking us? If we make a move, we'll definitely be exposed, and then the ones hunting us down will be peak sixth-rank instructors from Magic Martial Arts University.
The middle-aged woman said with a helpless expression, "There's nothing we can do about it. The other martial arts masters who can be considered geniuses are not on the ground right now."
Everyone else has entered the underground cave; Qin Fengqing is the only one still on the surface.
The elders also took this matter very seriously and were determined not to let that kid continue to grow.
When that kid first broke through to the third rank, he had already wiped out one of our small outposts in the suburbs.
According to intelligence personnel within Magic Martial Arts Academy, Qin Fengqing has no plans to go down into the underground caves recently, but has instead taken on several fifth-rank surface cleanup missions.
This includes the medium-sized outpost located in the Fifth Ring Road area, which has already been exposed.
But this is also our opportunity. If we can seize this chance to kill Qin Fengqing, even sacrificing a medium-sized stronghold would be extremely worthwhile.
"Is that what the elders think too?" the middle-aged man asked slowly.
The middle-aged woman nodded and said, "The elders also think so, after all, Qin Fengqing can be considered the number one prodigy of Magic Martial Arts in recent years."
A third-rank high-level cultivator can kill a fifth-rank peak cultivator; I dare not imagine what level he would reach if he were to grow stronger.
If we can kill him, it's equivalent to losing a sixth-grade peak reserve soldier.
It doesn't matter as long as we can destroy a medium-sized stronghold; it's just one fifth-rank martial artist and a group of third- and fourth-rank martial artists.
The middle-aged man nodded: "This time we need to plan carefully. We can't deal with students from Wuhan University using common sense, especially since they are such outstanding talents. We can't be careless."
Moreover, the two of us are key wanted criminals here. If we were to unleash our full power, it would likely attract the attention of those dog-sniffing detectives from the Investigation Department.
The only option is to act swiftly and kill Qin Fengqing in the shortest possible time.
After that, the two stopped discussing and instead ate their meal and chatted about other everyday matters.
No one expected that the ordinary middle-aged couple living in an ordinary residential building would actually be high-ranking deacons with the strength of a sixth-grade martial artist.
......
Qin Fengqing was unaware that a conspiracy against him was brewing at this moment.
At this moment, Qin Fengqing was still searching for the fifth-rank wanted criminal in the mission.
In a big city like this, it is extremely difficult to find a few wanted criminals in the vast sea of people, let alone those who all have the strength of a fifth-rank official.
However, it was still possible for Qin Fengqing, a seasoned veteran of missions, to find it.
At this moment, Qin Fengqing was chasing a wanted criminal of the fifth rank. The wanted criminal had originally been hiding on the outermost edge of the city, but after Qin Fengqing found him, he was chased all the way to the outskirts.
