After Xiong Zongchao finished explaining the general situation of the battle, he said:
"We will enter the battlefield very soon. I see that many of you have brought your own swords. If you need, you can choose from the armory of the transport ship. We don't have a lot of close combat magical equipment here, but we do have a complete set of all kinds of firearms. You can use them as you please!"
Li Yao was moved.
What he refined were all close combat magical equipment. Getting a firearm for self-defense was not a bad idea.
Just as he was about to get up, he saw that the other students were not moving at all. He could not help but be at a loss. He whispered to Ding Ling Dong beside him:
"Sister Ling Dong, why isn't anyone going to get a gun?"
Ding Ling Dong slightly smiled and said:
"Traditional Body Refiners and Sword Cultivators do not like to use firearms. This is not because we are conservative, but because firearms have many flaws."
Since the birth of long-range magical equipment such as firearms, the advantages and disadvantages of firearms and swords, one long-range magical equipment and the other close-combat magical equipment, had always been the focus of debate in the cultivation world.
The advantages of firearms were very obvious. They had a long range, strong firepower, and they used crystal cells as an energy source. They did not consume the user's spiritual energy. Some low-level firearms could even be used by ordinary people.
However, the disadvantages were also very obvious. Regardless of whether it was the crystal cells or the bullets crafted from crystals, they were both frighteningly heavy. A Thunderfire Boltgun with more than a dozen crystal cells and three to five strands of bullets would directly weigh more than 50 kilograms.
For ordinary people, carrying such a load and traveling for several days or even more than ten days in the depths of the Wasteland where demon beasts roamed was an extremely dangerous matter.
But for cultivators, they had to accelerate from zero to a few hundred meters or even close to the speed of sound within a few seconds. In one breath, they had to continuously change direction dozens of times in order to dodge the attacks of demon beasts. These were all compulsory courses.
They had to carry an extra kilogram of supplies. When moving at high speed, they would slow down by one second. If they did not change direction a few times in battle, they might be hit by demon beasts!
What was even more frightening was that demon beasts were also evolving during the long period of confrontation with humans. Many high level demon beasts were covered in sturdy carapaces. The critical points in the joints of the carapaces were very well hidden. It was very difficult to hit them from thousands of meters away. One had to get within a hundred meters and shoot at close range to cause fatal damage.
But all of them were within a hundred meters. For a Cultivator, there was not much difference between using a gun and using a sword.
"Most of the Union Army is made up of ordinary people, and they're fighting in groups, so there's no need to worry about logistics. Therefore, firearms are the mainstream. "
"The teachers and students of the Grand Desolate War Institution are all good at melee combat. They have never received any rigorous training in firearms.
"Also, we're used to fighting in small teams. We have to carry our own supplies. During a hunt that lasts for ten days to half a month, we have to be careful with every gram of supplies we carry."
"Our firearms are not enough to cause fatal injuries to the demon beasts. Instead, it will become a burden and affect our speed and agility! "
"However, in the world of cultivators, there are also 'Gun Cultivators' that are the opposite of Sword Cultivators. They specialize in 'Gun Kungfu', and powerful Gun Cultivators can accurately shoot the gaps between the shells of demon beasts from thousands of meters away, blowing their heads off with one shot! "
"The Federation's First Military Academy specializes in grooming gun cultivators. Guns are only meaningful in their hands."
After Ding Ling Dong finished speaking, she thought for a moment. He continued:
"But it's good for you to have a gun for self-defense. After all, you have so much strength, and you haven't officially learned melee combat. Sabers, swords, and firearms are all the same to you. If you use firearms, you can stand a bit further away and it's also safer. "
Li Yao thought that it was reasonable. Besides the 《One Hundred and Eight Hands Chaos-Gale Hammer Technique》, he had never learned any proper offensive skills.
And the 《One Hundred and Eight Hands Chaos-Gale Hammer Technique》 was not a real offensive skill. It was a basic skill used to forge iron. Just like the 《Thousand Tempering Hundred Refining》, it was used to temper the muscles and bones and temper the body.
The bitter training at the bottom of the Billowing Star Sea also increased his strength and speed, allowing him to withstand Ding Ling Dong's attacks for a longer period of time.
Up until now, he only had a body that was forged from steel and an astonishing strength, but he didn't even know a single profound saber or sword technique.
As for firearms, at least once the trigger was pulled, the bullets would shoot out. He still knew how to do that.
Thinking of this, Li Yao stood up, greeted Xiong Zongchao, and walked towards the armory.
At first, the students on both sides of the aisle were surprised. They didn't understand why someone would go and get a firearm.
They weren't rookies, and they still had basic common sense. For melee cultivators like them, firearms would only slow down their speed and wouldn't be able to display their power.
However, when they found out that the one who was going to get a gun was Li Yao, their eyes revealed a relieved expression. Many of them even nodded their heads:
"Student Li Yao, you should go and get a few guns to defend yourself. Although we will try our best to protect you, anything can happen in a street fight. You have to be prepared yourself!"
"Yeah, I heard that your skills are very good, but after all, you are not a professional. On the battlefield, you are just a support staff. Hiding behind us, you can shoot a few times and help us restrain the demon beasts. That's pretty good!"
Everyone was very enthusiastic. They didn't discriminate against Li Yao just because his "strength was not good enough".
Originally, everyone had their own specializations. It was normal for a freshman of the Refining Department to not be as good as a student of the Combat Department.
For him to have the heart to risk his life and fight side by side with everyone was already very good.
Li Yao went into the armory and was immediately shocked by the dazzling lineup of hundreds of classic firearms on the gun rack.
As a veteran magical equipment fan, he naturally had a deep fanaticism for firearms. It was no less than sword-type magical equipment.
However, in daily life, sword-type magical equipment was relatively easy to obtain. Many powerful firearms were regulated and required a certain amount of qualifications to be equipped with them.
In the past, he was just a little scavenger. At most, he could only come into contact with common firearms like the Thunderfire Boltgun.
Li Yao's eyes suddenly emitted a greedy light. He touched and looked at the guns left and right. He almost kissed them a few times.
Xiong Zongchao smiled knowingly. As a soldier, he would always feel a sense of closeness towards someone who had the same hobby as him.
He generously said:
"Junior Brother, you are a refiner. You don't have much attack power. It will be very dangerous in the city. You should choose a powerful firearm. You can choose any weapon here. Whichever you like, I will transmit the operation method to you through the jade chip. You will be able to grasp the most basic operation in three minutes. "
Li Yao nodded. He was somewhat dizzy. He was at a loss.
Until his eyes occasionally swept over a metal behemoth in the corner. He couldn't pull himself away. He swallowed his saliva and involuntarily walked over.
Five minutes later.
The two strongest freshmen, Zhao Tianchong and Lu Tieshan, sat together and whispered to each other.
The topic of discussion was Li Yao.
Since Li Yao's miraculous reversal on the last day. After catching up with the four great experts of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion and seizing the first place on the newcomer list, the two of them regarded Li Yao as their biggest competitor.
Originally, the two of them relied on the Combat Department's many specialized courses and their advantage in points to cultivate crazily in the last semester. His credits even exceeded Li Yao's several times.
However, Li Yao successfully modified the 1st Generation Tai 'e crafting furnace in the last few days. He received a scholarship and a reward of 3,000 credits. All of a sudden, they were left far behind.
The two of them were both shocked and helpless. They originally planned to go home for the New Year during the winter vacation. But now, they were stimulated to the point that they didn't even want to go home. On New Year's Eve, they cultivated crazily.
With great difficulty, they waited for an opportunity to sweep the credits. They didn't expect that Li Yao would also come!
"However. He is a refiner and can be considered as an auxiliary combatant. At most, he can repair magical equipment in battle. I'm afraid it won't be easy to get a high score, right? "
Lu Tieshan somewhat hesitantly said.
"Not necessarily. This guy is a madman. If he is forced into a corner, he will do all kinds of crazy things. Maybe he will even bring us some 'surprises'!"
Zhao Tianchong expressionlessly said.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "
Li Yao walked out with heavy steps.
Many people casually glanced at him and were immediately stunned.
Lu Tieshan's eyes even bulged. He cried out:
"What is this thing!?"
Li Yao was hugging a heavy firearm that was even thicker than his thigh. No less than six barrels were rotating in a row. Mysterious and complex runes were engraved on it and it was inlaid with scarlet crystals. It was like a raging tree trunk.
This was not all. Li Yao's body was wrapped with several bullet chains. Each bullet was the size of a baby's fist. The bullet heads were inlaid with crystals and the bullet shells were covered with array glyphs. They were out-and-out spiritual energy explosive bullets.
The entire set of equipment added up to at least five hundred kilograms. Let alone carrying it everywhere, an ordinary person would be crushed to death!
"Six Barrel Rotary Cannon? This, this, this is the equipment installed on a crystal tank. He is actually carrying it? "someone cried out in surprise.
Li Yao shook the bullet chains, making "Hualala Hualala" sounds. He swaggered towards his seat, feeling refreshed in his heart.
This incomparably powerful Six Barrel Rotary Cannon could fully display his strength. It was as if it was specially made for him.
Compared to it, the Thunderfire Boltgun and so on were weak. This was the weapon a man should use!
Lu Tieshan could not bear it any longer and blocked his path:
"Student Li Yao, the gun you chose..."
Li Yao raised his eyebrows: "What's the problem?"
Lu Tieshan strangely shouted: "Of course there's a problem! Let's not talk about how heavy this gun and its bullet chains are. We all know that you have great strength and can carry it. But have you ever considered the recoil? The recoil of this heavy weapon is astonishing. The recoil produced by each shot is equivalent to a 3rd level Refinement Stage cultivator fiercely punching your chest. How can you bear it? "
He suddenly took a step back and punched Li Yao's chest.
Li Yao was surprised.
He was used to sparring with Ding Ling Dong, a Building Foundation Stage cultivator. In his eyes, Lu Tieshan's punch was straight and slow. It was simply the punch of a 180 year old man. He had hundreds of ways to dodge it.
However, Lu Tieshan did not seem to have any malicious intent. Even if this punch was straight, it was 2287 millimeters away from his chest.
Li Yao blinked his eyes and did not move. He stared blankly as Lu Tieshan slowly punched out and then slowly pulled back.
"What do you mean?" Li Yao was at a loss.
Lu Tieshan raised his voice:
"Just now, I used my 3rd level Refinement Stage strength to launch a lightning-fast punch. Don't mention reacting, you couldn't even see it! If you were to use this Six Barrel Rotary Cannon to fire, it would be equivalent to dozens of heavy punches landing on your body within a second. Wouldn't you vomit blood? "
Li Yao suddenly realized that Lu Tieshan had good intentions. He could not help but feel a little embarrassed.
If he were to say that he had clearly seen through Lu Tieshan's punch, that he had hundreds of ways to dodge and deflect it, and that even if the punch landed on his body, it would not be a big deal, wouldn't it be... a little too arrogant?
After thinking for a moment, Li Yao said:
"Thank you for your reminder, Fellow Student Lu Tieshan. I will be careful."
After saying that, he went to his seat and sat down. Holding the Six Barrel Rotary Cannon, he happily wiped it.
"You —"
Lu Tieshan, seeing that he did not listen to his advice, angrily stomped his foot.
"Forget it!"
Zhao Tianchong stopped him and whispered, "Newcomers are all like this. They think that the bigger the gun, the more powerful it is. Wait until he suffers a few times, then he will know."
"A few times? Just one time and his bones were shattered, yet he still wants us to save him. He is really a burden! "
Lu Tieshan was somewhat annoyed.
Looking at the gun Li Yao had chosen, he knew that he was a complete rookie.
Both he and Zhao Tianchong had rich experience in actual combat. In actual combat, they hated this kind of rookie teammate who was unclear about the situation the most. Every time, he would become a burden to the team.
On his seat, Li Yao carefully wiped the gun, familiarizing himself with the structure of the gun, and casually asked:
"Sister Ling, how much of your usual strength is the full force strike of a 3rd level Refinement Stage Cultivator equivalent to?"
Ding Ling Dong thought for a moment:
"I have not calculated it. At most, it is a few tenths. What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing."
Li Yao touched his nose and continued to wipe the gun.
At this moment, a "boom" came from below the Thunderbird transport ship. It was as if a huge wave had struck it, causing it to fiercely tremble.
They had arrived in the sky above Verdant Tarn City. In front of them was the battlefield! (To be continued)
