I Contracted Myself-Chapter 103 – Words spoken without intention
Zhang Ping wasn't surprised that the Zhu Family knew he was an Infinite Grade ability user.
To be honest, the fact that they only found out now actually indicated that the Zhu Family's infiltration into Mingzhu City wasn't as deep as it could be.
"Sister Sisi, there are indeed people from the Zhu Family lying in ambush outside the training grounds. Do you think we should confront them head-on or try to bypass them?" Zhang Ping asked as they walked.
Liu Sishan frowned, "How many are there?"
"Not sure, but there are at least two Top-Level Awakeners," Zhang Ping replied.
At least two, which means there could be more, possibly three or four, while on their side, they only had Feng Laixian as a Top-Level Awakener.
In terms of high-level combat power, they were clearly at a disadvantage.
Liu Sishan frowned, feeling that the situation was quite tricky.
A single Top-Level Awakener could easily overpower a group of Advanced Awakeners. Someone like Feng Laixian might need several thousand Advanced Awakeners to even hold him back.
No matter how they thought about it, they seemed to be no match for the opponents.
Feng Laixian spoke up, "If there are only two Top-Level Awakeners, and since it's daytime, I can handle more than two."
After all, Top-Level Awakeners vary in strength.
He was confident that during the day, it would take at least three Top-Level Awakeners to defeat him.
"I should be able to handle one Top-Level Awakener," Zhang Ping pondered aloud.
He currently possessed five super-grade abilities. After using the Floating Cannon Gem to kill the Thunder Bull, he confirmed that any ability with the character 'King' was a super-grade ability, and combined with the Misty Body, he had exactly five super-grade abilities.
So, apart from his physical attributes not matching a Top-Level Awakener, the gap between him and a Top-Level Awakener wasn't that large.
"Zhang Ping, are you sure you can handle a Top-Level Awakener?" Bai De questioned.
In his mind, although Zhang Ping suddenly possessed various special abilities and was an Infinite Grade ability user with limitless potential, he was ultimately just an Intermediate Awakener, and the gap between him and a Top-Level Awakener was too vast.
In the past, he had seen many Awakeners attempt to challenge opponents of higher ranks, and without exception, these Awakeners were severely punished, sometimes even paying with their lives.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Awakeners can sometimes defeat stronger, higher-ranked Mutated Beasts in the wild.
That's because, no matter how intelligent a Mutated Beast is, it's still a beast. Once it goes into a frenzy, it loses much of its reasoning, so as long as the attack power is sufficient, defeating a stronger opponent isn't impossible.
But battles between humans involve too many factors.
Differences in primary attributes, whether abilities counter each other, whether the opponent has special equipment, or any special buffs or debuffs.
The weaker party inherently has inferior attributes compared to the stronger one, and if there's a gap in these areas, the outcome is often decided in an instant.
Therefore, Bai De wasn't underestimating Zhang Ping.
It's just that the probability of a lower-ranked Awakener defeating a higher-ranked one is very, very small.
"Unless it's a Top-Level Awakener like Master Feng, otherwise, it shouldn't be a problem," Zhang Ping pondered for a moment and gave his answer.
Not all Top-Level Awakeners have the exaggerated vitality of Feng Laixian.
Many Top-Level Awakeners, in the end, haven't transcended the human category. As long as you hit their vital points, they can still be killed in one strike.
And he happens to be very good at attacking!
Liu Sishan had known Zhang Ping for quite some time and knew he wasn't someone who liked to boast, so she analyzed, "Then we need to find out how many Top-Level Awakeners they have. If there are fewer than three, we'll attack head-on. If there are more than three, then... we'll find a way to bypass them."
"Bypass them? How?" Bai De frowned.
There was only one entrance to the training grounds, and the other side was said to be an abyssal cliff. No matter which way they went, it seemed impossible to bypass the opponents.
The Zhu Family members weren't fools.
If they didn't know it was the only entrance and exit, how could they have been lying in ambush there for a whole day and night?
Liu Sishan looked at Zhang Ping and asked, "Do you still have that door?"
"Hard to say, I'll give it a try." Zhang Ping immediately understood what Liu Sishan meant.
He sighed helplessly and muttered to himself, "Indeed, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. In the end, it all comes down to me."
"With great power comes great responsibility, well said!" Feng Laixian found the phrase quite meaningful.
This phrase isn't always true, especially when the beneficiaries are some gluttonous politicians...
But in Mingzhu City, the Awakeners present felt it made a lot of sense. After all, ordinary people had always been serving the Awakeners, and they inherently had the responsibility to protect ordinary people.
Therefore, "With great power comes great responsibility" was quite applicable in Mingzhu City.
Bai De patted Zhang Ping on the shoulder and laughed, "Zhang Ping, I didn't expect you to say something so philosophical. I like this phrase; I must write it down and make it a family motto!"
"As long as you like it."
What else could Zhang Ping say? He couldn't possibly reveal that he learned this phrase from a movie in his past life.
Moreover, he didn't entirely agree with the phrase; he had just said it casually.
"With great power comes great responsibility!"
On the other side, Zhao Yanhu, who was being held by Zhang Shouzhong, muttered to himself, his eyes growing brighter as he looked at his brother Zhao Yanlong, who was also similarly affected.
The phrase had a profound impact on them.
We are ", find us on google.
Especially since Zhang Ping had risked his life to save them earlier, perfectly embodying the essence of the phrase in their minds.
The two brothers were orphans.

In the past, no one had ever taken them seriously.
Even after becoming Awakeners, their treatment in the village improved, but that was only because they had become valuable.
In the end, they were just dispensable tools, easily replaceable, so no one truly valued their lives.
But Zhang Ping was different.
Only Zhang Ping would risk his life to save them, treating their lives as precious.
Originally, they thought Zhang Ping was abnormal, but now they understood him. It wasn't because he was foolish or had a problem with his mind, but because—with great power comes great responsibility!
In an instant, Zhao Yanhu made a decision in his heart.
He struggled a bit and said, "Fatty, let me go!"
Zhang Shouzhong coldly released his grip, letting Zhao Yanhu fall to the ground.
But when Zhang Shouzhong wanted to teach Zhao Yanhu a lesson, Zhao Yanhu immediately got up, crawling with difficulty to Zhang Ping.
He pressed his forehead to the ground and said loudly, "Brother Zhang Ping, please... please give me a chance. I want to follow you, to be your right-hand man. Even if it means death, I will stand in front of you and never take a step back!"
Zhao Yanlong realized what was happening and quickly broke free from Zhang Shouzhong's grip, crawling to Zhang Ping's side, just like Zhao Yanhu, prostrating himself on the ground, and said loudly, "I, Zhao Yanlong, swear to follow Lord Zhang Ping for this life and the next. If I break this vow, may the heavens and earth destroy me!!!"
"Ah, I, Zhao Yanhu, also swear to follow Lord Zhang Ping for this life and the next. If I break this vow, may the heavens and earth destroy me!!!" Zhao Yanhu, realizing his brother's words were more powerful, quickly repeated them.
Zhang Shouzhong stood there with his mouth agape, dumbfounded by the scene.
The others were also surprised to see the two brothers. If it was out of gratitude for saving their lives, they should have done this earlier, but they hadn't shown any such intention before.
Why did they suddenly bow down now?
