It's broken! I was targeted by the villain after the apocalypse

what did he say?

Xiao Duan is Duan Haiping?

How is this possible?

Liu Jinan said he didn't believe it at all.

He didn't know how Xiao Duan knew the name Duan Haiping, or whether the summoned creature itself could know what the summoner was thinking.

It is also possible that Xu Zhaoxin and Yang Shu told Xiao Duan that he often saw the three of them looking around and talking about something.

The reason why he didn't believe Xiao Duan was Duan Haiping was very simple.

Duan Haiping in the novel is cruel and bloodthirsty. He kills people like crazy and will do anything to get to the top.

He doesn't care about the lives of his subordinates at all.

He is paranoid and crazy, and will not tolerate others disobeying him.

But Xiao Duan is different. Although he looks arrogant and indifferent, when you get to know him, you will find that he is considerate and gentle.

He will try to protect others and accept the voices of others instead of being stubborn and insisting on his own way.

The two of them look exactly the same.

But they are clearly different individuals.

"Xiao Duan, I'm sorry." Liu Jinan found it difficult to speak. He couldn't bear to hurt the other person.

But he couldn't accept Xiao Duan's confession just for his own selfish desires when he clearly had someone else in his heart.

The hope in Duan Haiping's eyes gradually dimmed, and he lowered his head like an abandoned puppy.

"Can I ask why?" His voice was hoarse, mixed with deep loss and frustration.

Liu Jinan wanted to touch his hair to comfort him.

The fingers froze in mid-air, but did not fall.

He didn't dare. He didn't dare to give Xiao Duan any more hope. This would be too cruel for Xiao Duan.

"I don't like you," Liu Jinan decided to cut the Gordian knot, "Xiao Duan, you are my summoned creature. We are companions and comrades-in-arms."

Duan Haiping interrupted him: "Why can't it be a lover?"

Liu Jinan: “…”

"I understand." Duan Haiping clenched his fists, "I was just daydreaming."

"Xiao Duan..."

"Don't worry, I won't force you to like me. You are right, we are the best comrades-in-arms." Duan Haiping said this but he didn't think so in his heart.

Whatever he wants, he must get.

He didn't believe that Liu Jinan had no feelings for him at all. Although he didn't understand why Liu Jinan rejected him, he firmly believed that the other party just hadn't seen clearly in his heart.

Liu Jinan thought Xiao Duan had really come to terms with it, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's great that you think so. We will always be best comrades-in-arms."

The time limit for summoning has expired.

Duan Haiping slowly opened his eyes and looked at the snow-white ceiling, the melancholy in his eyes lingering for a long time.

Tang Wenhan said in surprise: "You're awake! Doctor, nurse! The patient is awake!"

Duan Haiping still had a headache, not sure if it was because he was tired these past few days or because Liu Jinan was angry with him: "I'm fine, stop yelling."

"Okay, I'm glad you're alright." Tang Wenhan finally felt relieved. "Otherwise, if you die before you can accomplish your mission, wouldn't you be handed over the position of the leader of the Psychic Corps to someone else?"

Duan Haiping didn't care about the position of army commander. He only cared: "General Tang, have you ever chased anyone?"

Tang Wenhan was stunned by Duan Haiping's sudden question.

Considering that Xiao Duan was in his twenties and still had no partner, he thought Duan Haiping was looking for a partner and burst out laughing.

"Xiao Duan, with your wealth and your current status, do you still need to chase after girls?"

Tang Wenhan said earnestly: "You are very outstanding, it is normal for you to have high standards, but not too high, otherwise when will you find a partner?"

Duan Haiping sighed.

He has too high standards and looks down on everyone except Liu Jinan.

The doctor happened to come at this time. He gave Duan Haiping a simple physical examination and said: "The patient was just overworked. He is fine now that he has woken up. You must pay more attention to rest in the future and never overdraw your physical strength like before."

Duan Haiping nodded. He had lost all hope before, so he didn't take care of his body.

But it's different now.

He has a clear goal and motivation.

…………

The next day, Liu Jinan took everyone to the Martial Arts Guild to see if anyone was interested in the notice he posted yesterday.

Unexpectedly, the entrance of the Martial Arts Guild was crowded with people early in the morning.

Hu Jianye put his arm around a passerby and asked, "Brother, let me ask you something. Why are there so many people in the Martial Arts Guild today?"

Passersby glanced at him and asked, "New here?"

Hu Jianye nodded: "Yeah, bro, how did you know?"

"Nonsense, if you weren't new here, how could you not know that something big happened in the Martial Arts Guild!" The passerby explained to them excitedly, "Yesterday, a great god left a notice on the bulletin board, actually offering to exchange top-level martial arts for some low- and medium-level martial arts!"

Hu Jianye asked doubtfully, "Isn't this okay?"

"It's not impossible, it's just unheard of!" The passerby shook his head and laughed, "The owner of the top martial arts is at least king-level. To have a king-level master is a blessing that many people wish for!"

"The key is that his asking price is so cheap. Whoever can grab this order must have earned the luck by saving the Nor Continent in the previous life!" said a passerby.

Once Hu Jianye relayed these words, everyone understood.

Zhao Simo said with a smile: "It seems that you are too capable and your asking price is too low, which disrupts the market."

Liu Jinan didn't expect this to happen.

He had specifically asked about the pricing of top-level martial arts yesterday, thinking that one thousand gold coins plus a few martial arts would be enough, but he didn't expect it would still cause a sensation.

"It's my fault. I didn't investigate the market well." Liu Jinan reflected deeply.

However, martial arts still need to be changed.

Liu Jinan and others squeezed into the Martial Arts Guild with difficulty. Hu Deyi was arranged to take care of the little monkey outside because he was too fat.

Liu Jinan found the person in charge. When the person in charge saw him coming, he immediately greeted him warmly: "You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a whole day!"

"It was my negligence this time. I am really sorry to trouble you, sir." Liu Jinan took out two coins and gave them to the person in charge as a tip.

The person in charge quickly rejected the offer, saying, "You are embarrassing me. I was blind and didn't recognize you before. I'm very grateful that you don't blame me."

The two exchanged pleasantries, and the person in charge got straight to the point: "The president of our guild wants to exchange top-level martial arts with you. What do you think?"

Liu Jinan declined politely, "I only need some martial arts that ordinary people can quickly master, not such advanced martial arts."

Person in charge: “…” I’ve never seen this before.

In desperation, he had to take Liu Jinan to the display stand.

"Everyone, be quiet," the person in charge signaled everyone present to be quiet, "Let me introduce you, this is Earl Liu Jinan who has entrusted our guild to sell top-level martial arts."

Most people present knew Liu Jinan's name.

If the glorious achievements such as slaying dragons were mentioned before, they were just rumors from the mouths of bards.

Then, yesterday, he destroyed the Foundry Guild single-handedly, and it became a household name in Bantu City overnight.

"Is he Liu Jinan? He looks so young!"

"He's so handsome, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless. It's said that even Sid, the president of the Foundry Guild, couldn't survive a single move from him!"

"Then why are you still hesitating? Hurry up and buy his top fighting skills!"

Buyer enthusiasm is at an all-time high.

Faced with the offers from the audience, Liu Jinan only focused on choosing martial arts schools and academies, which had a large reserve of combat skills and teaching experience.

This immediately screened out a large number of buyers.

In the end, Liu Jinan chose to cooperate with a combat skills academy called Hongri Academy.

This combat skills academy can tailor-make combat skills for students and guarantee that they will learn until they succeed, which is very conscientious.

The person who made the deal with him was the dean of the academy, Dop.

After sending everyone to the academy one by one, Liu Jinan made an appointment with Duopu that he would teach Duopu combat skills in the morning.

Because he had an appointment with Sanila, the president of the Magic Guild, to learn magic in the afternoon.

Sanila's teaching method was also simple and crude. She first condensed a fireball and let Liu Jinan observe how she used her magic power.

Fortunately, with the help of the Book of Superpowers, he learned the third-level fire power in just one try.

The same is true for the subsequent second-level earth power and third-level teleportation power.

Sanila was also shocked at Liu Jinan's learning speed, not knowing that he could only learn to this extent.

He had no way of making the magic more powerful by injecting more magic power like Sanila did.

Restricted by the level of his superpowers and the rules of the Book of Superpowers, his superpowers are weaker than powers of the same level, and the teleportation power can currently only teleport him alone.

But he was already satisfied.

In the next few days, he went back and forth between Hongri Academy and the Magic Guild.

Although the strength of his superpowers cannot be increased, he can create different forms of superpowers through his understanding of earth and fire powers.

For example, he can decide whether the earth element will eventually form an earth wall or collapse into a pit by changing the direction of the flow of supernatural power.

But that's all.

Compared to magic, superpowers themselves have greater limitations. He can only use superpowers to release earth elements or turn the soil into sand, but he cannot control the earth elements to form various things according to his wishes.

Earth magic is more like a fusion of the two supernatural powers of earth and controlling earth elements.

He had seen with his own eyes how Sanila easily used earth magic to create a sand snake and used it to attack.

You can also choose the location of the earth wall at will. Not only can it be generated from the ground, but it can also be formed directly in mid-air, allowing you to more flexibly resist enemy attacks.

After some consideration, Liu Jinan decided to replace the third-level fire ability with the third-level earth element control ability.

Although he gave up the fire-based abilities with strong attack power, he gained control over the earth element, and could attack or defend, and use the earth-based abilities more flexibly.

When Sanila saw that Liu Jinan could use earth magic so skillfully, her jaw almost dropped to the ground: "Liu Jinan, you are the most talented student I have ever taught. You are worthy of being a genius in all subjects."

Liu Jinan said embarrassedly: "Teacher, I decided to only learn earth magic."

Sanila kept smiling: "I'm old, please don't joke with me."
