Chapter 86 Firepower is King!

“What’s going on?!”

On the ring, Gao Sheng and Xu Zhizhi ran frantically along the edge while pulling the triggers repeatedly. Terrifying explosions continued to erupt around the ring. They were clearly two training fighters… The battle between Cultivators felt like a ” Sect war”.

The many candidates in the audience looked completely bewildered.

Cao Ziwei also took a deep breath, feeling a bit overwhelmed. He could only try to find some highlights in Gao Sheng’s performance during the gunfight and give him a score.

“That’s a Mechanical Bamboo Gun. It’s been selling like hotcakes at the Lotus Auction House for the past few months. It was made by that Beast Taming Cultivator who’s at level seven, using special materials.” Someone who had heard of the Mechanical Bamboo Gun couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

This book is first published on Read Good Books Taiwan, offering a worry-free reading experience with error-free and orderly chapters.

No wonder it sells so well; its power is truly terrifying.

“You bastard!” Xu Zhizhi cursed on the stage.

Although Gao Sheng seems unreliable, he comes from a distinguished family and possesses several top-tier spells. Even when the aftershocks of the explosion spread, his forehead is always covered in incantations, and a golden light protects him, keeping him safe.

In contrast, Xu Zhizhi’s situation was much more difficult. What was even more terrifying was that after two rounds of firefights, Xu Zhizhi discovered that Lin Jing’s ammunition was simply insufficient! Meanwhile, Gao Sheng’s side seemed to have an abundance of ammunition! That rich bastard must have bought five hundred rounds back then!

Before long, Xu Zhizhi was defeated due to insufficient ammunition.

“Brother Lin, you’ve ruined me! Why did you sell so many guns?!” Xu Zhizhi cried out in anguish.

Behind them, Lin Jing looked innocent. This Gao Sheng was more powerful than he had imagined. Even without the Mechanical Bamboo Gun, Xu Zhizhi probably wouldn’t be a match for him. Gao Sheng completely overwhelmed Xu Zhizhi in terms of spell power and the number of Magic Treasures.

“You flatter me.” Gao Sheng put away his bamboo spear and laughed heartily.

“Next one,” Cao Ziwei said quickly.

Next up was a female cultivator in a red dress with a hot figure.

“Fire Domain, Burning Heaven Valley, Thousand Blazes, I want to challenge this examiner.” The red-skirted female cultivator knew Zi Ling’er quite well; she was very familiar with Dan Ding Sect. Disciple isn’t good at combat; her only strength is fire control, but she’s an Innate. With a Fire Spirit Body, flames pose little threat to her. Although it’s a battle against a higher level, she’ll definitely perform well and achieve a high score.

Upon hearing this, Zi Ling’er calmly walked forward. As Cao Ziwei announced the start, Zi Ling’er, to everyone’s astonishment, pulled out a Mechanical Bamboo Gun.

“Huh? It’s this too!” The female cultivator in the red dress was stunned. Zi Ling’er had already fired, spraying water everywhere. Seeing this, the Fire Spirit Body reacted immediately, retreating quickly while exhaling flames from its fiery red lips, condensing a wall of fire to resist!

Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

The fire wall expanded, and although it nearly cracked several times, the exploding spirit bean did not completely break through it. The woman was clearly more capable than the previous Body Cultivator.

“Such petty tricks won’t work on me. I’m not like that Body Cultivator.” Seeing that she had successfully resisted, the girl in the red dress smiled and said, “Sister, use the Dan Ding Sect’s fire control technique! Let me see it!”

As soon as she finished speaking, her face turned purple, she knelt down, and then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Zi Ling’er gave her a warning look: “I mixed a poison pill that can be triggered by high temperature into the ammunition. Don’t forget, I’m a pill master.”

The poison pill was detonated by the Spirit Bean Bomb into dust, which mixed with the water mist, and then triggered by the high temperature of the fire mage, directly affecting the Fire Spirit Body.

She retrieved the Mechanical Bamboo Gun, and with the help of the Medicinal Pill, defeated her opponent using only a small amount of ammunition.

“What the hell is all this?!”

The candidates were completely dumbfounded. It was bad enough that the new examiners also used machine guns, but why did they have to modify them?!

Many test-takers turned their attention to the maker of the Mechanical Bamboo Gun, the culprit behind everything: the Beast Taming Sect. Lin Jing.

Is it even possible to conduct this assessment?

Why are all three battles machine gunfights?!

Does not having a Mechanical Bamboo Gun disqualify one from taking the assessment?

Just then, another candidate stepped onto the stage. He was tall and had an arrogant expression on his face.

“If you can’t even beat this simple Mechanical Creation, you might as well go home and cultivate yourself.”

” Dao Domain, Wanfa City, Jiang Chuanhe, who wishes to challenge the creator of the Mechanical Bamboo Gun, Lin Jing of the Beast Taming Sect —to be precise…”

He wanted to challenge his Pet Beast, who had once trained to reverse a Foundation Establishment attack!

The visitor has ill intentions; they intend to use Lin Jing as a stepping stone to achieve their own fame in Hidden Dragon City.

Lin Jing walked out calmly, showing no sign of anger despite the other party’s disdain for the Mechanical Bamboo Gun.

He smiled gently and said, “This candidate, please.”

“However, if you want to challenge my Pine Leaf Squirrel, you’ll have to get past the Mechanical Bamboo Gun first.”

After saying that, Lin Jing also summoned a Mechanical Bamboo Gun and held it in her hand, causing Jiang Chuanhe to raise an eyebrow.

Before he could speak, Lin Jing took out another weapon, holding a Mechanical Bamboo Gun in each hand.

“You think two guns are enough—” Jiang Chuanhe laughed. Two Mechanical Bamboo Guns were indeed more powerful, but he was different from those two good-for-nothings. Before he could finish speaking, his expression changed drastically.

Then, Lin Jing summoned a two-meter-tall mechanical giant tortoise that stood on two legs!

This giant tortoise, its entire body composed of intricate mechanical parts and special spiritual bamboo, is a deep blue color. What is most unsettling is…

It carried towering machine gun turrets on each of its two shoulders, and each of its two hands held a Mechanical Bamboo Gun.

It is the new Mechanical Bamboo Turtle that Lin Jing has been enhancing and upgrading over the past few months!

Adding the two Mechanical Bamboo Guns in Lin Jing’s possession, that makes four guns and two cannons.

“Huh?” Jiang Chuanhe’s eyes cleared instantly. Wait, this turtle, you guys—

Lin Jing’s eyes shone brightly as she connected with the Soul Core of Mechanism Turtle, controlling the mechanical beast with her mind!

“Roar!!!” With a roar from Mechanism Turtle, it seemed to come alive, its face ferocious. The complex Gathering Spirit Formation patterns within its body were pushed to the limit by Lin Jing’s mental power, with astonishing efficiency. The two gun muzzles and two cannon muzzles instantly condensed terrifying streams of water, which shone brightly with spiritual light and rushed towards Jiang Chuanhe from several directions as his expression changed drastically!

Almost instantaneous!

In addition, Lin Jing grinned and pressed the two enhanced Mechanical Bamboo Guns engraved with Gathering Spirit Formation.

“Mysterious Annihilation Finger!!!”

Jiang Chuanhe’s expression changed repeatedly, and he finally felt the pressure. The veins on his arms bulged, and True Qi swirled around his fingertips as he forcefully jabbed them several times.

A gigantic phantom finger formed, unleashing immense power. It appeared to be far more destructive than a regular Mechanical Bamboo Gun, and also far more mysterious.

but.-

Let alone the Spirit Bean Bomb, under Lin Jing’s powerful mental control, even the high-pressure water cannon fired by the Mechanism Turtle could restrain the Xuanmie Finger, and the two sides squeezed and collided in mid-air!

As the Spirit Bean Bomb detonated completely, a terrifying hurricane of spiritual energy instantly blew Jiang Chuanhe off the stage, causing his eyes to turn white.

Upon seeing this, many candidates changed color, and several well-known practitioners, such as the Divine Symbol Sect and the Royal Heavenly God Body, also frowned.

“What—what is this?!” Not to mention the examinees, Yuan Jing, Zi Ling’er, and Xu Zhizhi also stared wide-eyed at the ferocious Mechanism Turtle. Wasn’t this the tiny turtle the size of a palm from the cave back then?!

“There’s no opponent a Mechanical Bamboo Gun can’t handle. If there is, then buy two, buy four—” Lin Jing Dao: “On the path of cultivation, firepower is king. This examinee, you’re too attached to appearances. Remember, never underestimate anything.”
