“Junior brother, your thoughts are too old-fashioned.”
Ying Baiwu’s fingers moved, and the handgun spun in her hand in a beautiful arc. “This weapon is clearly used for a sneak attack. There’s no need to use it in a direct confrontation.”
“That’s right. When Baiwu fired the shots, I could sense that the spirit qi fluctuation was very short and quiet. It isn’t easily tracked.”
Li Ziqi took out a palm-size circular spirit armament that resembled a pocket watch.‘The students crowded around and surveyed the numbers on it before sinking into deep thought.
‘When an archer sneak attacked, the greatest problem lay in the fact that if they wanted to shoot far with great destructive might, they had to accumulate spirit qi. To high-level cultivators, the spiritual fluctuations were like a large bug jumping onto their skin. It wasn’t hard to discover it.
Hence, in this era, sneak attacks and assassinations were performed as close as possible, using crossbow shots or high-frequency multiple quick blows. It was impossible for there to be any ultra-long distance attacks.
But the nearer one was to their target, the greater the difficulty of sneak attack.
After all, even a blind person could see such a huge bow. And although the act of loading an arrow to curve the bow in preparation for a shot was fast, it was also very conspicuous. However, the handgun was different.
Ying Baiwu smiled and kept the handgun in her robes. After that, she pretended and walked toward Xuanyuan Po. At the moment she brushed past him, she directly pulled the handgun out.
“Bang! Bang!”The iron-headed girl simulated the sounds of a shot using her mouth.
Si~
‘The students all inhaled breaths of cold air. This was very terrifying!
‘Who would be on guard against a random passerby? If that passerby was a gun-user with the element of surprise, the hit rate would be 100%.
“Not only so, but during a confrontation, I can make use of flaws in my opponent’s defense and do a quick three shots. Even if he or she doesn’t die, I would be able to gain a huge advantage.”
As an archer, Ying Baiwu’s understanding of the handgun in practical combat far surpassed the others.
Even for the proud combat addict, his face was currently somewhat unsightly because this handgun would really be able to catch opponents unawares.
“As expected, Teacher’s invention is the number one in the world!”
Lu Zhiruo had a look of worship on her face.
“Compared to Ziqi’s invention, my invention clearly doesn’t match this era!”
Sun Mo shook his head. He wasn’t satisfied at all.
His thinking had been restricted. Because he was from the modern era, when one mentioned weapons, he instinctively thought about creating a spirit rune-version of a gun. However in this era with spirit qi, all sorts of cultivation arts could appear.
Just from their effects, cultivation arts contained boundless transformations and had even more killing prowess compared to firepowder guns. At the very least, that lightning sea wasn’t any weaker than a cannon, and it was even more ‘clean and environmentally friendly’.
The little sunny egg had integrated many functions into that battle armor, and it was a very good idea. She had incorporated various defensive and attacking techniques into a single spirit armament.
(Wait a minute, wasn’t this the battlesuit of Iron Man?)
“Teacher, you shouldn’t be so modest. My spirit rune armament can only be used by cultivators who have spirit qi in their bodies. But your handgun can even be used by farmers as long as they have enough strength to pull the trigger.”
Li Ziqi took the handgun and attentively studied it. “Also, as for its might, can it be further enhanced?”
“Mn, it can become artillery!”
Sun Mo was somewhat curious. “By the way, what is that circular ‘pocket watch’?”
“This?”
Li Ziqi passed the ‘pocket watch’ to Sun Mo. “This is a spirit wave radar I created. It can detect spirit fluctuations.”
Sun Mo’s eyes brightened and couldn’t help but praise loudly. “Good stuff, how’s the effect?”
As long as one had this item, they wouldn’t need to be worried about ambushes. This was because when cultivators used a cultivation art, they would have to use spirit gi, which would create fluctuations that would be captured by the radar. The radar would then inform you in a timely manner.
“Iwas about to consult Teacher!” Li Zigi reported. “I feel that the spirit qi in cultivators’ bodies would surely have fluctuations. So, I decided to create this radar.
“T’ve tested it. It can track all spiritual fluctuations in a range of 500 meters. However, there’s a problem. For example, if I’m in school, cultivators are all around me. So, the radar would show all the spiritual fluctuations and would not live up to its purpose of a pre-warning.”
“You can design gears. Every time you shift to different gears, it would be able to search for the corresponding spiritual fluctuations.”
Sun Mo suggested. “This item is actually more suitable to probe for danger when one is out in the wilderness exploring.”
“Talso think so, but I don’t have the spiritual fluctuations data of those experts. Also, I’ve created a version that probed for spiritual fluctuations for those below the Blood Ignition Realm, but it was not very successful.”
Li Ziqi sighed. Designing something from scratch was truly very difficult.
“Just take it slow, your research direction is correct.”
Sun Mo encouraged.
If Li Zigi was placed in the modern era, she would definitely be one of the top-tier scientists, the Einstein of the Nine Provinces.
(Wait a minute! Could his theory of e=mc2 be suitable for usage in the Nine Provinces?)
Sun Mo sank into contemplation. If they could create a nuclear warhead, Great Tang would instantly become the number one supreme empire in the Nine Provinces.
Li Ziqi originally had other questions, but after seeing Sun Mo pondering, she hurriedly placed her index finger on her lips and made a shushing gesture.
“Let’s not disturb Teacher further!”
Li Ziqi mouthed.
The students tiptoed and left the guest meeting room. They then instructed all servants not to go near before standing guard for Sun Mo personally.
“Teacher entered a state of epiphany again. I’m really envious!”
After Lu Zhiruo became a great teacher, she understood that epiphany was something that could not be actively sought after.
(My ideas seem to be somewhat wrong! Up till now, I’ve been enjoying the advantage of having a modern-era soul. This is also the reason why my thoughts are not restricted by the current ways of the Nine Provinces.)
(But this precisely caused me to neglect some things. For example, if I wish to create a spirit energy weapon, my first thought would lean toward handguns.)
(Look at Zigi, she directly created spirit energy battle armor.)
(Also, as for inventions, I kept wanting to create spirit energy computers and A.I., but my level of technical skills is too low. I should start from small to big.)
(Zigi’s spiritwave radar is something extremely practical.)
(Knowledge should be something that can benefit the whole of humanity, something that can raise the happiness index of everyone. It shouldn’t be something that’s used for killing. Hence, my invention should start from being able to increase the quality of life of the commoners.)
“Zigi, bring me to the study!”
Half an hour later, Sun Mo called out. Right now, his head was filled with inspiration, and he wanted to hurry up and record all of them.
Seven days passed in a flash, and the Hero Battle was still ongoing.
In order to allow the opponents to be in their optimal states and prevent their rest from being disrupted by fighting too many times a day, the main organizers made the arrangements that each combatant could rest for a day if they fought for a day.
Ultimately, a total of 64 combatants entered the qualifiers for the finals.
For Sun Mo students, everyone passed other than Qin Yaoguang.
This result made Li Ziqi so angry that she wanted to beat someone up.
“If you weren’t playing around, we would all have managed to pass!”
Even the good person Jiang Leng spoke with some reproach in his tone.
“In any case, you guys are all present. We will definitely get the top three, and Teacher’s name won’t weaken in the slightest!”
Qin Yaoguang giggled.
“Isn’t it more impressive if we have six people in the top ten?”
Li Ziqi rolled her eyes.
“Eldest Martial Sister, I was wrong!”
Qin Yaoguang pleaded for mercy.
“Ziqi, don’t lecture her anymore. I’ll win the honor back when I fight!”
Ying Baiwu was extremely confident.
“Can you address me as ‘Eldest Martial Sister’
Li Ziqi was speechless. (Can you guys show me some respect?)
“Ai, tomorrow is the competition. I wonder if Teacher can make it on time?”
Xianyu Wei really wanted their teacher to spectate them.
“Don’t worry too much. The longer the time our teacher spends in comprehension, the more beneficial it will be for him.”
Tantai Yutang consoled everyone. “Let us go back and rest first. You’ll have a good competition tomorrow.”
“That’s right, you guys should quickly rest well. The candidates this year are all extremely strong. According to what I know, over half of them are students who recently graduated from the Nine Greats during these few years.”
Qin Yaoguang divulged.
Just when the students wanted to disperse, a golden-colored halo like water splashing on the ground flowed forth from the study.
‘When the halo’s light brushed past Li Ziqi and the others, they instantly felt their thoughts clearing and their minds being refreshed. It was like they had just enjoyed a good sleep and were now in their most optimal state.
“Lis this a new halo?”
Everyone was shocked. After that, they became joyful. They had experienced all of their teacher’s halos before, but there wasn’t one with such an effect.
“Be quiet and think!”
Li Ziqi spoke in a hushed tone, “From its effect, it seems to be Telepathic Understanding. We must not waste it.”
Helian Beifang’s reactions were the quickest. He was already seated cross-legged.
‘The difficulty of wanting to comprehend this halo was extremely great, and the impact of its effect was also as good as how difficult it was to comprehend it.
During learning, teachers would frequently say something. “This child works very hard, but he just doesn’t seem to get the knack.’
This meant that the child had no idea about how to tackle the problems and didn’t know how to study.
But Telepathic Understanding could forcibly bring students into a state of epiphany and allow them to understand the knack of things with a single pointer.
Yang Shizhan and Hu Xingjiang sensed the commotion brought by the halo and immediately rushed over. When they saw the students meditating, both of them revealed incredulous looks on their faces.
“Is this Telepathic Understanding?”
Hu Xingjiang was shocked.
He hadn’t forgotten Liang Hongda’s words. Sun Mo’s distance away from participating in the 7-stars examination was just this; he lacked a halo. Who would have thought that he would have managed to comprehend it in just a few days?
“Tf all talent in the world can be measured in a total of 10 dous, Sun-laoshi alone will take up 9.9!”
Yang Shizhan sighed ruefully.
In the study, Sun Mo opened his eyes and stared at the stack of draft papers over a meter tall on his desk. He then revealed a smile.
This time around, his harvest was extremely great. Not only had he come up with three small inventions, but he had even comprehended Telepathic Understanding.
This was a halo he didn’t depend on a skill book to comprehend. He purely relied on his own talent to do so.
Honestly speaking, Sun Mo’s accumulation was already sufficient.
In the Battlegod Canyon, Sun Mo had deciphered those mysterious spirit runes and obtained the Battlegod Catalog and the Battlegod Protection Halo. In the Dragonspirit Manor, Sun Mo not only had resolved the three puzzles, but he even solved those unknown spirit runes that were kept in the library
and became a great ancestor that even Bai Wenzhang acknowledged.
After that, Sun Mo comprehended the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture in the Dragon Subduing Academy and then obtained a saint’s inheritance in the Great Prison of Desolation, excelling and surpassing those before him.
Other than these major incidents, Sun Mo had also comprehended techniques to draw spirit res on plants and various abstract spirit runes.
Now, all these accumulations led to a qualitative transformation from a quantitative one and finally allowed Sun Mo to comprehend the Telepathic Understanding…
