"That's right. Although we, the 'Gun Cultivator', are a combat profession that emerged after the invention of firearms, the history of our profession is very long. It can even be traced back to the ancient cultivation era of forty thousand years ago."
"And the 'Gun Kata' that we cultivate is also the most authentic 'Sword Controlling Technique' that was passed down from the ancient cultivation era!"
When the origin of the Gun Kata was mentioned, Ma Jiao's face flushed red.
He straightened his back and said, "We, the Gun Cultivator, are also one of the authentic successors of the ancient sword immortals. There is no difference between us and the sword cultivators like Student Zhao Tianchong. The only difference is that the inheritances we obtain are different."
Zhao Tianchong coldly snorted. Apparently, he didn't quite agree with Ma Jiao's statement.
However, these were all long-standing debates in the cultivation world. Everyone had their own opinions and bragged. Even after several thousand years, there was no clear explanation. He was also disinclined to bicker with Ma Jiao.
The more Li Yao listened, the more confused he became.
Firearms were a type of long-range magical equipment that gradually emerged in the late stage of the Great Dark Age. They relied on the sudden eruption of spiritual energy from crystals to shoot out bullets, allowing ordinary people who lacked the strength to truss up a chicken to have the strength to fight.
But because of this, many cultivators regarded them as weapons used by the weak.
How could they be related to the ancient sword immortals from forty thousand years ago?
Ma Jiao saw the doubt on his face. He slightly smiled and continued:
"Student Li Yao, I don't know if you have read in some of the ancient notes that the ancient sword immortals from forty thousand years ago possessed a powerful treasure called the 'Sword Pill'. Usually, they would swallow it into their abdomen and refine it with their soul. At the critical moment, as long as they opened their mouth or snorted from their nose, the Sword Pill would fly out and transform into a sword aura. It would pierce through the rainbow and take the head of a person from a thousand miles away as if it was something from their pocket."
Li Yao nodded: "Of course, I have."
He, who possessed Ou Yezi's enormous memory bank. How could he not know about the 'Sword Pill', the most common magical equipment in the ancient cultivation world?
For the ancient cultivators, the flying sword was probably one of their most commonly used magical equipment.
However, the 'Flying Sword' was actually not a magical equipment, but rather two.
The first type of flying sword looked like an ordinary long sword. It had a blade and a guard. It had a hilt and a scabbard. The body of the sword was covered with spirit patterns and array glyphs... Profound light protected the body....
On one hand, this kind of flying sword could be used as a means of transportation, allowing cultivators to step on it and ride it. Traveling a thousand miles in a day was nothing difficult.
On the other hand, it was also a divine weapon for close combat. Occasionally, it could be used to attack enemies that were closer to it.
However, if the enemy was a mile away, it would be inappropriate to use this kind of flying sword to attack the enemy.
Firstly, this kind of flying sword was too heavy. Its appearance did not meet the standards of aerodynamics, and its flight path was very unstable. His maximum speed wasn't too high.
It was fine when there was a Cultivator stepping on it, but once there was no one to control it, it was easy to lose speed, enter a spiral state, deviate from the target, and even fall to the ground.
Secondly. If the distance was too far, there would be too many variables. If the enemy was too powerful or had some kind of magic treasure that could capture the flying sword, the flying sword could be captured in an instant. Wouldn't it be awkward for the one who released the flying sword?
Li Yao had also seen a very funny story in a notebook that recorded strange things in the Hundred Smelting Clan.
It was said that in ancient times, there was a Sword Immortal who spent a lot of effort and used all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to carefully refine a flying sword. When he fought with the enemy, he released the flying sword. Sure enough, its power was amazing. The sword pierced through the enemy's heart and hit the enemy's chest.
Unexpectedly, the enemy was also a ruthless person. Knowing that he was going to die, he held the hilt of the sword with both hands, just to prevent the Sword Immortal from recalling the flying sword with his spiritual will. Before he died, he even self-detonated his soul, destroying most of the flying sword.
At the same time, a large number of enemy experts quickly surrounded the Sword Immortal.
If he had the divine sword in hand, the Sword Immortal would naturally be able to display outstanding sword skills. Even if he was no match for the enemy, he could at least ride the sword and escape.
Now, he was empty-handed and could not even escape. The Sword Immortal was surrounded and beaten to death by the enemy. It was really tragic.
There was even a Sword Immortal who spent a lot of gold to refine a flying sword to kill a spirit beast. In the end, the sword did not pierce the vital parts. It pierced the spirit beast's buttocks and was firmly stuck by the muscles and bones.
The Spirit Beast cried out in pain and ran away with the priceless flying sword. It ran away, ran away …
It was precisely because of the countless such tragedies that cultivators slowly discovered in actual combat that if they wanted to use the flying sword to hurt people, there was actually no need to make such a big flying sword. There was also no need to make things like a guard, a hilt, or even a blade.
In the world, there was nothing that could not be broken except for speed. When the speed was stimulated to the extreme, even a strand of hair could kill people. What was the use of a sharp blade?
Therefore, the second flying sword, the sword pill, was born!
This object was generally the size of a longan. It was easy to refine and convenient to carry around. Moreover, because of its small size, it was also relatively easy to control with spiritual will. Usually, it would be swallowed into the abdomen to refine. When facing an enemy, it would be spat into the air and transformed into a three-inch sword ray. It would be controlled with spiritual will and shot to kill the enemy.
Ordinary Sword Cultivators could spit out a sword pill several kilometers away. Needless to say, Sword Immortal Level 1 experts could attack with a radius of several dozen kilometers.
In this way, when dealing with close enemies, they could use the flying sword to kill them. When dealing with distant enemies, they could use the sword pill to greet them. Even if they missed or if the sword pill was taken away by the enemy, it would not be a pity. Because the refining cost of this object was extremely low, every Sword Immortal would carry several of them with him.
Li Yao's heart stirred and he looked pensive.
Ma Jiao smiled:
"It seems like you already understand. The Sword Controlling Technique is the divine ability of the ancient Sword Immortals to control the sword pill. We 'Gun Cultivators' have inherited this part of the divine ability of the Sword Immortals. To ordinary people and amateur gunmen like you, bullets are bullets. But to us Gun Cultivators, bullets are sword pills!"
Li Yao suddenly understood and could not help but be aghast.
In the notes of the Hundred Smelting Clan, it was recorded that some powerful Sword Immortals could control over a hundred sword pills in one breath and form a sword array. They could stimulate endless sword rays and ruthlessly kill the enemy.
But in the hands of Gun Cultivators like Ma Jiao, they could shoot over a hundred bullets in one breath.
Although they might not be able to stimulate the formidable might of the ancient Sword Immortals, if these bullets were sword pills, then it was indeed a rather frightening profession!
Ma Jiao saw his expression and became even more proud. He muttered to himself for a moment and said in his heart, "In any case, it's some basic stuff." It was not a secret. If Li Yao was interested in researching, then it would be easy for him to find out from various channels. There was no harm in telling him. They would form a good relationship and there would be plenty of opportunities for cooperation in the future.
Ma Jiao extended three fingers. He said:
"Powerful Gun Cultivators at the Building Foundation Stage and above naturally have thousands of divine abilities to control special sword pills like bullets. As for Refinement Stage Gun Cultivators who have just entered the Refinement Stage, they mainly cultivate three great divine abilities."
"The first is shooting techniques."
"The shooting techniques of cultivators are not the conventional shooting techniques of ordinary people, such as' three points in a line, breathing evenly '. Instead, they study how to control the point of impact and concentrate the impact points of over a hundred bullets on a single point."
Ma Jiao looked left and right and pulled over the fragmented corpse of a Black Armored Saber Mantis. He said:
"Student Li Yao, this is the Black Armored Saber Mantis you killed. Look, its entire body has exploded. It can be seen that your impact points are distributed over a very large area. The bullets did not fall in one place."
He pulled over the corpse of a Black Armored Saber Mantis:
"This is the Black Armored Saber Mantis I killed. Look, the impact points are all concentrated together. All the bullets basically hit the same place. "
Li Yao carefully observed the differences between the two corpses and lightly nodded.
Ma Jiao said:
"Injure its ten fingers. It would be better to cut off one finger. Although the firepower of the Six Barrel Rotary Cannon is fierce, you are unable to precisely control the impact points. The impact points of each bullet are different from the previous one. This is equivalent to letting the Demon Beast bear the destructive power evenly from top to bottom. Naturally, the destructive power of the local areas cannot be increased. "
"As for us Gun Cultivators. We will try our best to control the impact points of the bullets and ensure that each bullet hits the tiny wound caused by the previous bullet. In this way, injuries are added on top of injuries and the destructive power is all concentrated on a single point. Naturally, the destructive power is greatly increased. "
"Perhaps you just saw Student Bei Jingjing use her pistol to blow off the head. In fact, that was not a single shot. Instead, she fired five consecutive shots in an instant. Her speed was extremely fast and the sound was continuous. All the bullets instantly exploded at the same point. Not to mention the Black Armored Saber Mantis, even the Gold Armored Saber Mantis would have the opportunity to blow off the head with one shot!"
"As for the truly powerful Gun Cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Stage, they can even fire over a hundred bullets in an instant and penetrate the same bullet hole. It looks as if only one shot was fired and shot out a wound."
"The destructive power contained within is as you can imagine!"
Li Yao frowned. He racked his brains for a long time and humbly asked for advice:
"I also understand the principle of concentrating the firepower, but the recoil of the gun is too great. Although I try my best to control it, every time I fire a Spiritual Energy Bullet, the muzzle will still faintly bounce. There will be a slight change in the shooting trajectory, causing the bullet to deviate from its original impact point. How do you stop the muzzle from bouncing?"
Ma Jiao laughed and said:
"There is no way to solve the problem of the muzzle bouncing. As your strength increases, the firearms and bullets used by Gun Cultivators will become more and more powerful. As long as you pursue higher power, then there will always be recoil and muzzle bouncing."
"Our idea is not to control the gun barrel and make the muzzle motionless. This is too rigid and inflexible."
"The correct method is to sense the extent of the muzzle shaking every time, recalculate the shooting trajectory, and make slight adjustments in the opposite direction to ensure that the bullet will hit the same point."
"For example, if this bullet makes the muzzle slightly bounce upward by 0.0001mm, then press your wrist down a little bit and make the muzzle move downward by 0.0001mm."
"Of course, this is only the principle. In actual combat, you also have to consider the wind direction, the changes in the positions of both sides, our breathing, heartbeat, and muscle rhythms. In short, there are countless changes and endless mysteries."
Li Yao pondered for a moment and opened his eyes wide:
"In other words, every time you fire a bullet, you have to recalculate the shooting trajectory?"
Ma Jiao thought for a moment and nodded:
"Although in actual combat, it is not possible to recalculate every bullet, but in theory, it is possible. Right now, I can recalculate the shooting trajectory every 47 bullets. It is barely enough to deal with normal Demon Soldiers."
Li Yao was shocked.
The firing rate of modern firearms was extremely fast. A dozen bullets could be fired in a second. In other words, every second, one had to recalculate the shooting trajectory once or twice. One also had to consider the wind direction and wind speed, and the enemy was a high-speed Demon Beast.
The amount of calculation involved was really too shocking!
However, if he could grasp this kind of shooting technique, he would not need to recalculate every 5 bullets. Even if he recalculated the shooting trajectory every 10 bullets, the power of the Six Barrel Rotary Cannon would increase by several folds.
At that time, not to mention Intermediate Demon Soldiers, even High Demon Soldiers, or even Demon Generals, would have a chance to explode!
