Eternal Unfading Shan Lan Star (SSS Level, Active Skill): After activation, it summons the Shan Lan Spirit to fight for you. The quantity and quality of the summoned spirits depend on the host's level and remaining stamina! This is a skill created by the legendary power of the Shan Lan Star Sequence One, which internally integrates the souls of the fallen spirits of Shan Lan Star. When the host's strength reaches level ten, it will awaken the Sequence One spirits embedded within this ability.
This ability was originally obtained in the treasure land of the Shan Lan Star by Sun Ruixing, and after Sun Ruixing's death, it was passed on to Sun Xuewei, the daughter of Sun Ruixing.
The skill description is extraordinarily imposing, but there is a limitation— the quantity and quality of the summoned spirits depend on the host's level and remaining stamina!
In other words, this is a skill that can exert its effects based on the host's strength— no different from normal skills.
If the host is weak, the summoned spirits will also be weak. Right now, Sun Xuewei has a physical quality at the peak of level six, and she can summon at most one level six peak Shan Lan Spirit. Additionally, since she has already summoned once, her stamina has significantly decreased, and the second Shan Lan Spirit she summons may not even reach the peak of level six…
In the eyes of the three military elites, including Shen Zhongzheng, this is truly just a joke...
Amidst the gunfire, the newly appeared spirit raises a heavy shield, struggling against the rain of bullets as it advances toward the source of gunfire. Although the second summoned spirit is weaker, being defensive in nature makes it more durable.
Seeing this scene, Gunfire snorts disdainfully and quickly merges his dual guns into a uniquely shaped short gun.
“Fire…”
“Boom!”
An extremely solid fireball erupts from the gun's muzzle, instantly crashing into the spirit. Flames burst forth, and Sun Xuewei can only vaguely see a humanoid figure struggling and lamenting in the fire, before it quickly disintegrates into silver light points.
Then, Gunfire raises the short gun, aiming at Sun Xuewei's heart.
Living targets are uninteresting... a shot while it's hot is Gunfire's creed…
So at this moment, Gunfire's eyes widen in anger, the malice and ferocity at the corners of his eyes almost unmasked.
“Die!”
“Boom!”
The trigger is pulled, and the bullet is fired…
However, the next development did not proceed according to Gunfire's script.
…
Everything before her seems to slow down drastically, waves of fear at the approach of death surge forth. As she sees the palm-sized bullet getting closer, Sun Xuewei's mind is unprecedentedly clear at this moment.
“Am I going to die... it seems like... I am going to die...”
The situation is evident; there is no chance for Sun Xuewei to dodge this shot. She can only watch as the bullet draws nearer... nearer...
Until a pair of hands suddenly appears in front of her!
Those hands are slender yet full of strength. The palm-sized bullet is gently grasped by the large hand, as if it were a floating feather, devoid of any force. The hand closes, and Sun Xuewei can only hear a muffled “bang.” Then, a wisp of smoke rises from the hand, and when it opens again, only tiny metallic fragments remain.
“Whew... whew...”
Sun Xuewei doesn't even take a good look at the figure that suddenly appeared; she simply sits down heavily on the ground, gasping for breath. She is grateful, grateful to have escaped the clutches of the god of death, and when her breath finally stabilizes, she raises her head to look forward.
Dressed in black, the figure has its back to her, and there is not the slightest sense of power— the person in front looks like an ordinary person. However, after witnessing the earlier feat of catching the bullet, Sun Xuewei understands this is merely a perceptual error caused by the vast difference in strength.
But new questions arise.
“Who exactly is this... and why did they save me?”
