Chapter 40 Warrior Classification (2/2)
Then the six men stood in a neat row, silently watching Qin Haodong, waiting for his answer.
Qin Haodong's heart moved. Recently, Lin Momo was assassinated continuously. The behind-the-scenes manipulator hid in the shadows. He worried he couldn't find a competent bodyguard, but now the six men stood before him, swearing their allegiance.
And it could be seen that Nalan Jie also bore tremendous pressure in taking care of these people. It also helped the Nalan family to lighten some of the burden if he took them.
He thought for a moment and then turned to Nalan Jie and said, ”What do you think, sir?”
”Wushuang must have told you about them,” Nalan Jie said. ”It would be best if you could take them with you.”
Qin Haodong looked back at the six men and said, ”If you'd prefer, follow me in the future!”
”The Divine Mercenaries, Saber, Sword, Axe, Whip, Hammer... Swear to follow Dr. Qin to the death!”
The six men of The Divine Mercenaries spoke in unison.
Qin Haodong nodded satisfactorily. ‘Well, you can call me boss later!'
He was overjoyed to receive such powerful subordinates.
It was already noon, and Nalan Jie ordered the servants to prepare a table of drinks and dishes in the living room. He was also very happy the six men had a good result at last. He happily went forward and said, ”Little magic doctor, let's talk while eating.”
He let Qin Haodong take the seat of honor before Nalan Wushuang and the six men of The Divine Mercenaries also sat down.
After a few drinks, Qin Haodong asked, ”Master Nalan, since you are all warriors. I would like to ask you how the warriors are classified now.”
As a cultivation artist, he needed to know about the strength of the warriors in modern society, so as to make a comparison with his own strength. Better to know one's self through gauging his enemy's.
All were surprised at his words. In their view, Qin Haodong's youth went beyond his present cultivation. His family background was absolutely unusual. How could he possibly not understand the situation of the warriors?
After a little astonishment, Saber said, ”Boss, today's warriors are mainly divided into three levels: Overt Power, Covert Power and Supreme Power. Each level is divided into nine realms.”
”What level are you at?” Qin Haodong asked again.
”All six of us, if fully recovered, are at the level of 7 realm of Overt Power.”
”What is Covert Power?” Qin Haodong asked.
Nalan Jie answered, “Thanks to Dr. Qin and your pills, I had the privilege of breaking through the 9 realm of Overt Power and reaching the level of Covert Power.”
What made Covert Power different from Overt Power was that it released Genuine Qi and hurt the enemy imperceptibly!”
”What is supreme power?”
”It's a legend. People with supreme power are rare in the country. Although I have never seen a man with supreme power, but heard that once a warrior reached the realm of supreme power, he can absorb the power of heaven and earth for his own use. A raise of hand contained infinite power, and he can travel anywhere in the world.”
Qin Haodong nodded. He now had a basic understanding of the present division of realms of warriors. Covert Power rivalled the foundation of a cultivation artist, and supreme power could be compared to a gold-pill artist in Cultivation World.
”Are there many warriors nowadays?”
”Very few,” Saber said, ”The six of us were only at the level of 7 realm of Overt Power, but we managed to thrive in the mercenary circle. You can imagine how few the warriors there are.”
Nalan Jie said, ”As time advancing, many inheritances of martial art have disappeared. The thermal weapons evolved so fast, hard work for decades cannot equal a bullet, so people's enthusiasm for martial art is dampened, and the number of warriors naturally decreases.”
”Although it was said that a man with supreme power could resist bullets, it is only a legend. Nobody has ever seen it.”
Saber interrupted, ”Even if he can resist bullets, what about artillery and even missiles? Now the decline of martial art is directly related to these weapons.”
Qin Haodong thought for a moment and asked, ”I found that the Sword Qi left by someone in Dantian of six of you is very powerful. What about that?”
An expression of strong hatred flashed across Saber's face. ”We were trapped by the Japanese that year, the enemy sent out the priests and ninjas. The one who hurt us was an ultimate ninja who should have reached the level of Covert Power.”
”We used to have eight brothers. Because of this, Halberd and Arch died in the hands of the ninjas. Now there are only six of us left.”
”Ninja?” Qin Haodong sneered. He never liked the Japanese. “Don’t worry, just follow me. You will surely get revenge in three years.”
”But they reached the level of Covert Power, revenge is too difficult.”
A sense of loss appeared on the faces of the six men. After the war, they realized the horror of the warriors of Covert Power, which was unmatchable.
”Rest assured, I will do what I say!”
Qin Haodong did not put the warrior of Covert Power in his eyes at all. In Cultivation World, his servants who swept the floor were already gold-pill artists, equivalent to Supreme Power on Earth. Who cared about a small ninja anyways?
As long as he possessed enough time and resources, it was not difficult to train them into a generation of masters.
