My Divine Diary

After Su Hao absorbed the source energy from the source bead in his hand, Ah Xing eagerly asked, “Ah Yang, how is it?”

Su Hao clenched his fist and smiled, “Very good.”

“Ah Yang, take a few steps.”

Su Hao moved his feet, flashing from the spot to over ten meters away, then immediately changing direction and jumping to the other side, very agile, as if his entire body had been equipped with powerful springs.

After moving around a bit, Su Hao jumped back in front of Ah Xing and said, “Very smooth, my whole body feels like it’s filled with high-pressure gas, very elastic.”

Ah Xing laughed and stood up, “Not bad, not bad. Ah Yang is indeed a genius. So, let’s teach you how to fight!”

Ah Wang also chuckled and said, “That’s right, close combat is also an important lesson for source masters.”

Su Hao smiled, “Just to make it clear, I’ve always been exercising my body, so my close combat ability is decent. You don’t have to go easy on me.”

Ah Xing and Ah Yang glanced at each other and smiled knowingly.

Joking aside, could they, two twenty-year-old men, not handle a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy in close combat? They could easily pin him to the ground.

Ah Xing beckoned to Su Hao, “Come on!”

“I’m coming!” Su Hao gave a warning, exploded from his feet, and appeared in front of Ah Xing, lifting his foot to kick.

“So fast!” Ah Xing’s heart tightened, he stepped back half a step and raised his hand to block.

But Su Hao’s foot didn’t kick out, instead, it landed on the ground.

“Gliding Shadow Step”!

Su Hao’s figure shifted away from Ah Xing, his knee raised, pressing against Ah Xing’s lower back.

“Oh no! Careless.” Ah Xing’s scalp tingled, wanting to turn around to block, but it was too late.

“Bang!”

With a muffled sound, Ah Xing was kicked by Su Hao’s knee and flew into the air, finding balance in mid-air, then slid backward for two meters after landing.

His handsome face twisted together, unable to help but rub his sore waist, stubbornly saying, “Ah Yang is pretty good! Indeed powerful! I was careless just now, let’s try again!”

With that, he adjusted his posture and actively charged towards Su Hao.

“Gliding Shadow Step”!

“Bang!”

“Ah~” Ah Xing screamed again, kicked by Su Hao.

This time he realized something was wrong, this new teammate wasn’t a character they could just easily handle. He turned to Ah Wang and signaled with his eyes, “Ah Wang, let’s go together.”

Ah Wang was somewhat reluctant, “Ah Xing, isn’t it too much to bully him like this?”

Su Hao shrugged, “It’s fine, come at me together, just play around.”

This statement sounded a bit off to Ah Xing and Ah Wang. Shouldn’t they be the ones saying this to Su Hao?

…

Ten minutes later, Ah Xing and Ah Wang were gasping for air, clutching their sore waists.

Looking at Su Hao now, their gazes were like those directed at a humanoid monster. The confidence they had built up over the years was now completely shattered.

The two narcissistic handsome guys couldn’t believe it. This seemingly short young boy actually possessed such formidable close combat skills. Even together, they, two intermediate-level source masters, were no match for him.

Perhaps, in terms of close combat, they didn’t even qualify as opponents. The entire fight was completely one-sided, with them being crushed and toyed with.

This also meant that Ah Xing’s plan to take advantage of Su Hao’s spotlight had failed.

Ah Wang muttered quietly, “Ah Xing, you won’t have a chance to steal Ah Yang’s spotlight.”

Ah Xing immediately glared, “What do you mean I won’t have a chance to steal his spotlight? When did I try to steal Ah Yang’s spotlight? This is just teaching him how to fight! And, Ah Wang, you’re shameless, actually exposing yourself like that.”

Ah Wang chuckled, “It seems like we can’t beat him, what should we do?”

Ah Xing sneakily glanced at Su Hao, who was exploring on his own, and whispered, “Ah Yang is a genius in every aspect, but he’s still young after all, definitely lacking in various mission experiences. Let’s take him on some higher difficulty tasks to make him realize that completing missions well is not easy.”

Ah Wang immediately agreed, “That’s right, in the end, it’s all about absolute combat power. It’s settled then!”

After whispering to each other for a while, they stood up, dusted themselves off, and approached Su Hao, saying, “Ah Yang, these next few days, get used to your source body. In a few days, our team will officially go on an external mission to earn source beads for you.”

Source beads are usually obtained from within source beasts, natural disasters, or strange disasters. Of course, they can also be found while walking, but the probability is much lower than winning a million-dollar lottery.

Three days later, Ah Xing and Ah Wang chose their first mission: the Molten Lava of Horizontal Connection Mountain.

Curious, Su Hao checked the mission briefing and couldn’t help but ask, “Is this what is usually referred to as a natural disaster?”

Ah Xing nodded, “That’s right. In various parts of the world, large-scale natural disaster events occur almost every day, much more frequent than source beast disasters. And the most common missions we receive on a daily basis belong to this category.

The location of the ‘Molten Lava of Horizontal Connection Mountain’ task is not far from our town of Qing Shui. After nearby villagers discovered it, they reported the event here, and it was arranged for handling by source masters from our town of Qing Shui.

According to the time indicated above, it happened five days ago. I wonder what the situation is like now. Hopefully, the surrounding farmers haven’t suffered too much loss.”

Su Hao asked, “Five days ago? Why didn’t the source master team take the mission immediately?”ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by NovelEnglish.net

Ah Xing chuckled, “Haha, this type of mission is the type that’s thankless and demanding, and the harvest of source beads is probably not much. So, very few source teams take on such missions. This time, we only accepted this mission to familiarize Ah Yang with the mission process.”

“Ah, I see.”

Ah Wang explained on the side, “Ah Yang, don’t think that source teams only care about source beads and ignore the life and death of other farmers. It’s just that there are too many various disaster events happening every day, and source teams are simply overwhelmed.

Events like this natural disaster occurring in the wilderness are actually considered trivial. Most of them are pushed to the bottom of the list, and sometimes no source teams even bother to handle them. After about a month when the sources are depleted, they naturally disappear.”

Ah Xing also chuckled, “Normally, this Molten Lava of Horizontal Connection Mountain incident wouldn’t be handled by any source team. It would just extinguish on its own. But luckily, it was chosen as the first mission for our Yang Wang Xing team.”

Su Hao nodded in understanding.

Ah Xing said, “Let’s go, we’ll talk as we walk.”

…

The speed of the team’s progress depended on the slowest member, which was unexpectedly Ah Xing and Ah Wang’s pace. Originally, they had planned to intentionally slow down and wait for Su Hao to catch up, but embarrassingly, it was themselves who lagged behind.

Ah day later, Su Hao and the others arrived not far from Horizontal Connection Mountain. As they approached, they felt a wave of heat hitting them, with the unique smell of burnt mountains filling their nostrils.

In the distance, billowing smoke rose, accompanied by scattered ash, making the sky seem dark and gloomy, while the flames and lava reflected a fiery red.

Su Hao had originally thought that this natural disaster, which no one cared about, was just a small area where lava emerged or some parts got burnt. He didn’t expect the extent of its impact to be so wide.

Without even seeing the specific situation, the three of them could feel the power of this natural disaster from afar.

Ah Xing said, “Haha, Ah Yang must have never seen such a natural disaster before! When I saw it for the first time, I was also greatly shocked, but after getting used to it, it’s just like that. Later, I realized that humans are too insignificant and powerless to change anything.”

Ah Wang chuckled, “That’s right, it’s better to enjoy life in time. The good times should be spent with beautiful girls, hehehe~”

Ah Xing added, “Ah Yang, how about we take you to the next town for a good time with the money we earn from this mission? We guarantee you’ll have a great time!”

Su Hao: “…”

What are these two thinking? They even know about going to the next town!

Su Hao pointed ahead and asked, “What’s next? Are we going to extinguish the fire?”

Ah Xing replied, “Impossible! With just the three of us, we can’t extinguish the fire. What we need to do is find the core of the disaster and destroy it.”

Su Hao was puzzled, “The core of the disaster?”
