Meng Chao thought about it.
In his previous life, his physical fitness wasn't strong at the beginning, but he did walk the path of the gun fighting style for a period of time.
Therefore, his spear skills were well-honed.
But because of this, he was well aware of the flaws of the Gun Fighting Style.
Demon Yan did not lie to him. Meng Chao remembered that during the later stage of the Monster War in his previous life, Dragon City had finished upgrading its heavy industry, and guns and ammunition were no longer a problem.
But this did not mean "unlimited ammo."
The biggest limiting factor was not resources, but the number of soldiers they could carry.
Normal bullets were not powerful enough against monsters. If they wanted to kill them in one shot, they had to use sniper bullets, machine gun bullets, and anti-material bullets with a caliber of more than .50, which had special metals added to them, runic symbols carved into them, and crystals embedded in them. Each bullet was even thicker than a drumstick.
In order to fire this kind of high-caliber bullet at high speed, the gun had to be equipped with all kinds of strengthening kits.
As a result, the weight of firearms and ammunition continued to increase. A single soldier could carry hundreds of kilograms of weapons and ammunition.
Besides, they also had food, medicine, and all sorts of survival supplies in the wild. Even with superhumans' physical constitutions, they would not be able to handle carrying so much weight and marching for a long period of time in the fog.
During combat, there were also problems such as barrel overheating and changing magazines, which interrupted the fluidity of the attack.
Many of the monsters had thick skin and were incredibly fast. Some of them even had mind attacks and could interfere with the shooter's visual nerves, which reduced the power of the gun to its lowest.
Therefore, the Gun Fighting Style was a fighting style where defense was more important than offense.
Fortify the city, wait for the enemy to exhaust themselves, and use bullets to harvest the Beast Tide. This was the most suitable battlefield for the Gun Fighting Style.
The team had ventured deep into the fog and traveled hundreds of miles to complete their mission. Once they ran out of bullets, the gun masters would be in an awkward position.
'In the future, Dragon City will face a lot of threats. I might even have to sneak into the Other World's races and sneak behind the Other World's Extraordinary Demons.
"If you choose the Gun Fighting Style or the Mecha Style, you'll have to carry a large number of supplies with you wherever you go. How will you be able to sneak around?
"That's why these styles are not the best choice. Only the Ultimate Style represents the future!"
Meng Chao thanked Demon Yan for his suggestion and said that he needed to think about it carefully.
Closing the chat software, he thought for a moment and changed the keywords to "minor meridians, cultivation, combat" and searched again.
As expected, a large number of results popped up.
Using a branch to fight wasn't a shocking idea.
Many martial arts powerhouses, psionic scientists, and life scientists had conducted research in this area.
However, the branch meridians were too thin and fragile. It was difficult for them to contain the rampaging spirit energy magnetic field rotation energy.
If you forcefully cultivate it, it will easily break.
It was just like how a light knock on the corner of a table would tear the capillaries and cause bruises to appear under the skin.
Therefore, the results of various explorations were the "common sense" that branch meridians could not be used in battle.
Suddenly, Meng Chao's gaze landed on an article.
[A Preliminary Study of the Operating Principles of the Spirit Vein System under Weightlessness.]
This article has two authors.
The first one was called Zong Ye. He didn't have much of an impression.
But the second author, Gu Jianbo, made his heart skip a beat.
It sounded familiar.
He looked it up online and found that Gu Jianbo was a young lecturer in Agricultural University's martial arts course. He had just started his career and was not famous.
Meng Chao should not have heard his name before.
"So this person exists in the memory fragments of my previous life?"
If that was the case, he would definitely be a great person who would shock Dragon City in the future.
Meng Chao became excited and searched for Gu Jianbo. Just as he expected, he found a lot of articles related to the cultivation of branch meridians.
By the looks of it, he had been researching this area for more than ten years.
The train of thought in the article was the same as the guiding ideology of the Ultimate Style that Meng Chao could vaguely remember.
However, most of the first author of the articles was Zong Ye. Sometimes, there was also Li Yingzi. Gu Jianbo seldom published his own opinions.
Seven or eight years ago, "Zong Ye" and "Li Yingzi" suddenly disappeared.
Gu Jianbo was the only one left. He published articles about the cultivation of branch meridians, but it lost its spirit. It was just a simple accumulation of experiment data.
It was just like without Zong Ye and Li Yingzi's guidance, he could not find a direction to explore.
During this period of time, there were occasionally breakthroughs that caused people's eyes to light up, but most of the articles were as tasteless as wax. The experiment data was like a headless fly that ran into a glass window.
Over the past two years, Gu Jianbo rarely published articles.
He seemed to have completely given up on this research direction.
But a thought flashed in Meng Chao's mind.
'It's him!
'The creator of the Ultimate Style, Gu Jianbo, who is known as the Blade Dancer!
'Even though he's a nobody right now, in the future, he will be a grandmaster who will create his own sect. He used the Ultimate Style to fight in the monster horde, and it was as if he was dancing on the edge of a blade.
'Even though he was only at the peak of his power for a year and a half, during his short period of glory, he turned the tide and killed more than ten thousand monsters, including the strongest Apocalyptic Beast. With his life as fuel, he sliced through the sky and lit up all of Dragon City.
'As his cultivation notes and fighting videos were made public, more superhumans accepted his ideals, and they brought the Ultimate Style to greater heights.
'Unfortunately, that was something that happened after countless powerful fighters died.
'Even Gu Jianbo himself drained himself too much when he was researching the Ultimate Style. He burned his life and died like a shooting star.
'If he had found the correct research direction earlier and the Ultimate Style had appeared five years earlier, he might not have died, and so many powerful fighters wouldn't have died either!'
Meng Chao was excited. He searched for Agricultural University's official website and logged in.
It was the time for students to fill in their application forms for the national college examination.
The martial arts course was also a popular course.
The introductions on the official website were very detailed.
The lecturers of the martial arts course were all built. Their muscles bulged, and when they roared, ferocious beast souls gushed out of their pores. It was a sight to behold.
Gu Jianbo's picture was especially handsome when he was sandwiched among the orcs.
Imagine him in an ancient costume with his temples turning white. There was no mistaking it. He was a grandmaster!
[Gu Jianbo, four-star superhuman. His research direction is the rapid repair of damaged branch meridians. He is in charge of one city-level research project and three university-level research projects. He received the second prize of a university-level teaching achievement award. He is also known as the Outstanding Young Teacher of New Era Year 54 in Dragon City.]
Among the ace lecturers who were filled with stars, this resume was nothing to write home about.
But Meng Chao's gaze burned.
'I've decided. I'll go to Agricultural University's martial arts course. I have to ride on Gu Jianbo's coattails!
'He's the legendary Blade Dancer and the ancestor of the school. There were plenty of news articles in my previous life that said that if he hadn't died a long time ago, he might have reached Deity Realm!
'There are only a handful of Deity Realm elites in Dragon City, and all of them are tyrants who command the wind and rain. If I can help Gu Jianbo reach Deity Realm, I'll definitely be able to stand at a higher level and control the policies in Dragon City.
'Besides, if I ride on this coattail, even if I don't use the Old Fire Relayer's name, I'll still be able to do whatever I want in Dragon City.
'Besides, Agricultural University has modified a lot of monsters and etherealized plants. Their food is better than that of Dragon City University. After all, I can use contribution points to exchange for skills and Skillfulness. Eating good food is more important than anything else.
'Also, with my relationship with Elder Ning, I can take a few resource course courses and refine my harvesting skills. It'll be very beneficial for me to get supplies when I fight in the fog in the future.'
Meng Chao analyzed the pros and cons very clearly.
Even though his score was enough for him to choose any of the best courses in Dragon City University, he still chose Agricultural University without hesitation.
He chose Agricultural University without hesitation. It was ranked second in Dragon City, and it was the legendary Monster University.
He logged into the official website for filling in his application forms for the national college examination and entered his student number. Then, he used a video to verify his identity.
A row of universities and majors appeared in front of him.
There were also a lot of emails sent to him by the official website. They included detailed introductions of the majors and all sorts of great conditions for him to join them.
He was among the top one hundred in the national college examination. Even if they knew that his main meridians were damaged, he was still very popular.
Quite a number of less famous universities even promised that as long as he was willing to join them, they would give him a lot of cultivation resources. They could also appoint any teacher to be his personal tutor, and they could customize courses for him.
Meng Chao ignored the introductions and invitations. He went straight to Agricultural University's martial arts course, accepted it, and submitted it.
The moment he submitted it, golden light shone before his eyes. Kindling flowed, and a new notification popped up.
[Will you activate the chain quest: Fight for the Ultimate Style?
[Quest Hint: A brand new war requires a brand new fighting philosophy. Make the Ultimate Style replace the Overkill Style and dance between the fangs of monsters and the blades of warriors!
[First Segment: Help Blade Dancer Gu Jianbo perfect the Ultimate Style's fighting style.
[Completion Criteria: The Fire Relayer or Gu Jianbo has to refine 1,024 branch meridians and increase the instantaneous damage output of the branch meridians to one-tenth of the main meridians.
[First Segment Reward: 8,000 contribution points and repair ten main meridians.]
'This is …'
Meng Chao was surprised and delighted.
Eight thousand contribution points was nothing.
Right now, he had tens of thousands of contribution points and was rich. He did not care about eight thousand contribution points.
But repairing ten main meridians was amazing.
Just now, he had used 9,999 contribution points to repair one main meridian.
Didn't that mean that the reward for the first segment of the chain quest was more than one hundred thousand contribution points?
As long as he completed the entire Fight for the Ultimate Style, there was a high possibility that he could repair more than one hundred main meridians.
At that time, he would not just be able to use the Ultimate Style, he would even be able to switch between the Overkill Style seamlessly.
Yes, main meridians and branch meridians, chaining techniques and killing techniques were not in conflict with each other.
Only by working together could he bring out his greatest power!
'That's great.'
Meng Chao could not help but smile. 'Work hard and fight hard. Crush all the common sense and principles in this era!'
