Because of what Old Panla said in advance, "No need to worry or hold back", Su Wen really had no intention of showing mercy when punching. The force he used was no different from that in actual combat, and it was even worse. If this punch hit the throat of an ordinary person, it would probably be able to directly break the bones, but when he saw that Old Panla fell down so neatly, Su Wen was still surprised.

For Su Wen, the battle after abandoning the hot weapons always happens in a moment. Such a protracted battle of countering moves is impossible. Su Wen either waits for the opportunity to take action. Once he takes action, he will do his best to find the opponent's flaws. If he can't find it, he will create flaws, and then attack the key points and kill.

It seems simple to say, but this fighting method hardly leaves a way out for yourself, and it has a style of either you die or I die.

This style can be seen from Su Wen's use of the Sword-Handerman in the Trides sewer, and was perfectly exerted in this brief duel just now: If Old Panla suddenly flashed his fighting spirit and blocked Su Wen's punch and digested his suicide attack, then what Su Wen had to face next was a human cage that could never be broken free. No matter how much strength he had, it would be difficult to exert and could only be slaughtered.

Therefore, if this is not just a test, Su Wen understands that even if he fails, he will not be killed by the opponent. Then when he faces enemies whose strength is completely out of his control, he will never take the initiative to try close-killing hands. This is also why when facing the demon archer in the dense forest, even if he hopes for the bone ring that has never been used in actual combat, he is unwilling to take unknown risks and get close to the young man.

Even if the opponent is a magician known for his weak melee combat.

With more than ten meters of distance, if the bone ring fails to be used, he may have a chance to avoid and escape the enemy's counterattack, but if he gets closer, he will most likely be doomed if he fails.

Get back to the point.

At this time, Su Wen looked at Old Panra who was lying down and was sure that the opponent was not seriously injured. After fainting for a short time in the fierce attack, the surprise in his heart finally calmed down. He did not feel complacent about knocking down the high-level knights with one move. This was not a fair showdown, not to mention that Old Panra is in her seventies no matter how strong he looks. No matter how strong he is, his combat skills and reaction speed cannot be compared with those when he was young.

However, Su Wen at least understood one thing, that is, the high-level knight is not invulnerable to swords and guns without using fighting spirit. It is just like the high-level magician who has not turned on magical alert at all, and the latter is the real historical story that Su Wen saw in the Trides Library. He was a little unwilling to believe it, but now he believes it completely.

Well, as for the more advanced magicians and martial saints?

Let's just treat them as alien creatures that do not belong to humans. At least Su Wen has never seen any cases of a person below the advanced magician in counterattacking a magician, and the same is true for the Martial Saint. In fact, if groups of intermediate magicians try their best to throw away the standard fireball technique, they may have a little hope to cause fatal damage to the magician, but being able to become a magician is not a stupid pig or a wooden stake. Just look at how Nikola swept across those death mages who are generally much stronger than the same level. Su Wen can personally experience the difference between the two.

"Ahem...good boy."

The fainting old Panla quickly woke up. He touched his neck with some fear, and his eyes at Su Wen were no longer the first time looking at the mosquitoes, but as if he was looking at a dangerous thing that could explode at any time.

"Who did you learn to fight with? He didn't teach you not to come up and stare at the vitals when you are competing? If I guessed correctly, if I blocked your fist just now and locked you in my arms, you might immediately raise your knees and hit my egg hard!"

Su Wen nodded silently. In that case, what Old Panla said was probably the most scientific and effective way.

This reaction made Old Panla laugh out loud.

"Haha, if it weren't for the competition, you would have died the moment you were locked by me, and you wouldn't have the chance to blow up my egg. Take a step back and say, if it was really a practical battle, when you punch me, I wouldn't have raised my hand to block it and leave you with flaws, because I know your fist can't break my defense at all."

"Of course I understand, it's just that I took the opportunity."

Su Wen smiled and said, he was not going to stop Panla from finding a way out for him. The facts were indeed as he said, but if it weren't for a dispute, he would only play hand-to-hand combat with this guy unless his brain was broken.

Old Panla nodded when she heard this, and finally felt a little satisfied. Then she touched her slightly red neck under the violent impact, as if she was still scared: "This kind of dangerous feeling hasn't been around for many years. No matter what, I like you, a young man. However, it may not be a good thing to act ruthlessly. The negative impact of being too strong is not a small matter - don't bring your fighting habits to other areas, otherwise it will definitely not be worth the loss. This is my little advice to you by the old man."

"Thank you."

Although Su Wen believed that apart from the ghost characteristics that his identity before traveling through time, he would definitely be a good person in any aspect, so he would not have too much hostility, but he still humbly thanked Old Panla.

Although he didn't think he was smart, he could at least distinguish between good intentions and malice.

Old Panla stopped talking nonsense. He grabbed a form on the table, picked up a thick pen and wrote a few words quickly on it, and threw it to Su Wen.

"Get it done, and try to condense the fighting spirit as soon as possible. If you can make progress on the road of knights, I believe your future will not be lower than mine."

Simple and crude words all reveal the appreciation of Su Wen by the strong and white-haired old man.

but……

Looking at the big "mercenary physical fitness evaluation results: excellent, silver second stage" on the table, and then constantly recalling what Old Panla said, "condensing the fighting spirit as soon as possible", Su Wen really wanted to explain the fact that he was actually a magician apprentice.

After a little struggle, he finally resisted this impulse.

...

When he left the test ground and returned to the mercenary hall and handed the form to the middle-aged mercenary administrator, the surprised expression on the other party's face seemed to swallow an egg raw and impressed Su Wen very deeply. Perhaps he had never expected that this strange young man who looked wet and could get the second silver section second only to the highest evaluation. Therefore, after asking Su Wen out loud twice and carefully checking the handwriting on the form, he handed Su Wen a brand new silver identity card to Su Wen with great caution.

This heavy identity card is made of sterling silver, so Su Wen paid an additional cost of four gold coins. It is very well-made, and the inscribed information was submitted by Su Wen not long ago. There is also a big "2" in the middle, representing the level of the second stage of silver.

Hanging the identity sign around his neck, Su Wen knew that from now on, he would be one of the mercenaries.

And just then, he felt his shoulders be patted.

Immediately, a voice deliberately lowered came from Su Wen's ears: "Are this new mercenary guy interested in earning 100 gold coins?"

Su Wen had never guessed that the first business would come so quickly. When he turned his head and looked, he saw a thin middle-aged man in luxury clothes, who looked quite Donald's temperament. This strange prodigal temperament made Su Wen not have a good first impression of this tall and thin man, because Donald's degree of cheating in his mind was already vaguely able to compete with the system.

The reward of 100 gold coins is extremely generous to ordinary people, but it is slightly attractive to Su Wen. However, he has no reason to completely refuse the opportunity to fly over, so he waits for the following text of the middle-aged man who is obviously not a mercenary.

The latter first looked around and confirmed that no one was paying attention. He leaned over to Su Wen's ear and said in a lower voice: "It's not a glorious task. If it goes well, it only takes half a day to complete it. The reward is 100 gold coins as the base, and it will be increased as appropriate. I need a good player in the high-level silver section, which is a mercenary like you."

"oh?"

Su Wen became interested. If 100 gold coins were really so easy to get, it would be a waste of money if he didn't join the mercenary ranks for half a year.

"Tell me what's going on."

He asked with great interest.

The tall and thin middle-aged man shook his head: "It's not convenient to say here. After we hand over the task, we can find a quiet place to talk in detail."

"Even if I publish a private mission, I have to know roughly what I want to do, right?"

Su Wen frowned. The other party obviously saw that his novice didn't understand the market and wanted to cheat him in a quiet voice. When he got on the boat, he would not get out of it. Therefore, Su Wen had already prepared for the collapse of the talks. He spent a lot of effort on just 100 gold coins, and even risked being cheated. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was not worth it.

The other party was obviously prepared.

"Oh, that's fine, then I'll explain it briefly." The middle-aged man shook his head, with a little lonely expression. "As you can see, my clothes show that I am a housekeeper, and my lady was threatened in Hongfeng Town and was warned that if she dared to leave the town, she would be attacked. The specific reasons are complicated, not enough to be outdated, and it's hard to say - in short, I plan to hire you to leave Hongfeng Town without notice. The destination is an estate eighty kilometers away. If it goes well, you can get a carriage in half a day. If it's safe all the way, you will get a 100 gold coin commission. If you encounter an attack and protect us, the amount of reward will naturally increase. Of course, since I offer such a high remuneration, please don't be lucky. We plan to set off tomorrow morning at the latest, what do you think?"

Su Wen pondered for a moment, and asked with some doubts: "It sounds quite reliable, but I am just a novice mercenary who just got the brand. How could you like me?"

"The leveling is directly to the second level of silver. You may have the ability of a mid-level knight. Young mercenaries like you will be popular everywhere you go." The middle-aged man smiled sincerely, and then pointed to himself. "My eyes are very sensitive. Compared with those old fried dough sticks who rely on their mission qualifications to get a level, young people like you are the most reliable. Moreover, being able to meet you just in such a time when you need it is also a fate."

Su Wen was silent for a moment, and then made a decision.

"Okay, I'll accept your mission."

"Very good," the middle-aged man gave Su Wen a noble courtesy and smiled satisfied, "You can call me Hrangimir, I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

"Su Wen."

Su Wen responded politely, but then he said a little embarrassedly: "However, before accepting the task, please allow me to go to the toilet a little bit - my clothes are almost dry and I need to take a cold shower."
