July 7.
Today was the happiest day of my life.
The summer vacation was over. The descendants of the Xie family who were scattered everywhere in the Flying Star Sector all returned to their hometown.
According to the tradition, the younger generation would have a competition every year at this time.
In the previous competitions, I was always in the middle or lower tier, often drowned by my brothers and sisters who were three to four years younger than me.
But this year, with so many descendants of the Xie family, I made it to the top ten in terms of comprehensive ranking!
My hand speed, in particular, ranked first!
The whole family was shocked. My great-grandfather and great-grandmother both summoned me and praised me. My parents were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths and kept saying that I was suddenly enlightened.
In fact, I knew that it was all thanks to Master Sand Scorpion however obtuse I was.
Although Master Sand Scorpion often comes up with unexpected training methods to torture me, I have to admit that all the training methods are very effective. As long as you are willing to endure the pain, you will definitely be rewarded.
Also, he might be indifferent to other people, but for some reason, he was very patient with me. If I had any questions that I didn't understand, I would ask him for advice. However busy he was, he would always stop and enlighten me patiently.
Strangely enough, after his explanation, the seemingly abstruse and complicated refining theories seemed to have become as simple as one plus one equals two. She could understand it clearly, as if it was a matter of course.
A bold idea suddenly popped up in my head.
I wanted to be Master Sand Scorpion's disciple.
Not the teacher-student relationship in the school where one teacher was responsible for dozens of students, but a real true disciple!
However, it would be very difficult!
I knew that Master Sand Scorpion had only one true disciple, Wu Mayan, who was now in the Battlesuit Department of Flying Star University.
Wu Mayan was a real super genius. He had become a celebrity in the school after only a few months.
He was only fourteen years old. But he already boasted the combat ability of the Building Foundation Stage. When he was admitted to Flying Star University, the Combat Department, the Battlesuit Department, and the Flying Sword Department all wanted him. Their heads were almost broken.
He seemed to have been wearing the Crystal Suit since he was in his mother's womb. He had a natural intuition about the Crystal Suit. After studying in the Battlesuit Department for only four months, he had already become an expert in crystal suits. No one below the junior year was a match for him. Only a few senior brothers in the fourth year could barely fight against him.
Last month, he had represented Flying Star University in the Inter-campus Crystal Suit Competition of Flying Star University and Heavenly Saints University as a freshman for the first time. He defeated five elite students of the Battlesuit Department of Heavenly Saints University with a 'Lone Wolf Battlesuit', shocking the entire Heavenly Saints City!
It was safe to say that Wu Mayan was even more famous than Master Sand Scorpion, who had always kept a low profile!
Even people from the five major arenas came to him, asking if he was willing to fight professional Exos in the arenas.
Sigh, only such a talented and peerless genius. Only then did he deserve to be Master Sand Scorpion's true disciple.
For someone like me, I'm probably still far from that, right?
I originally planned to stay at home for a month, but now I have decided to return to Sky Divine City tomorrow.
Master Sand Scorpion said that he would train himself in the school during the summer vacation. I went to him directly and asked if he was willing to recruit me as his disciple.
In any case … he wouldn't lose anything by asking!
July 13th.
How despicable! How despicable! How despicable!
What kind of people were they? How could there be such a despicable boy?
Today, I returned to Flying Star University. I went to Master Sand Scorpion and summoned my courage. I told him my request.
As it happened, the peerless genius Wu Mayan was there, too.
As it turned out, before Master Sand Scorpion said anything, the guy bulged his eyes and eyed me up and down for a long time. His eyes seemed to be saying, "Huh? You want to be my master's true disciple with such a talent? "
Not only did he stare at me for a long time, he also whispered to Master Sand Scorpion for a long time. I heard that he was badmouthing me!
Thankfully, Master Sand Scorpion didn't listen to his nonsense. Although he didn't agree immediately, he didn't turn me down on the spot, either!
Hehe. Since he didn't turn me down on the spot, it meant that there was still hope. As long as there was a slim chance, I wouldn't give up!
Speaking of which, was the boy really only fourteen years old? He was half a head taller than me, and his chest was as broad as a wall.
Crap.
If Master Sand Scorpion really agreed to recruit me as his disciple, wouldn't I have to call this annoying little brother 'senior brother'?
That would be too unpleasant!
August 29.
I felt more and more that Master Sand Scorpion was like an iceberg. No matter how magnificent it looked on the surface, the part below the surface of the ocean was always ten times larger!
Before I knew it, he had been in Flying Star University for more than five months.
Over the past five months, he had been either sleeping in the library or staying in the Ares Laboratory.
Ever since the accident last time, the work of the Ares Laboratory had been mysterious. Nobody knew their progress.
Therefore, in the Refining Department, doubts about Master Sand Scorpion's proficiency in refining surfaced again after months of silence.
Of course, I knew that Master Sand Scorpion was very good at refining. But to be honest, I had never seen him refining in person. I couldn't help but be curious about how good he was at refining.
What happened today allowed me to peek at part of his capability, or rather, part of it.
More than a month ago, the magazines and websites of the Flying Star Sector began to advertise a piece of magical equipment named 'Combat Ability Detector'.
Most of the articles described the magical equipment as marvelous, claiming that it could calculate the enemy's combat ability by detecting the enemy's movement speed, air vibration, and spiritual waves through a series of complicated calculations.
Also, the 'Combat Ability Detector' had recorded the appearances of tens of thousands of demon beasts, thousands of starships, and Crystal Suit that were commonly seen in the Flying Star Sector.
After a random scan, it would be able to tell which Crystal Suit the enemy was using, the advantages and disadvantages of the Crystal Suit, and other important information.
I was born in a noble family of refining. I had seen a lot of such things. The more extravagant the articles were, the more likely it was that the magazines and websites were paid to write them.
However, to publish the articles on so many magazines and websites at the same time, the investment must have been huge. The manufacturer of the Combat Ability Detector must be very capable.
I was very curious about the magical equipment.
The few advertisements that were posted on the Spiritual Nexus in advance were excellent. One could tell that they were very professional.
I ordered two models, one of which was the regular model, and the other was a built-in Crystal Suit. It could be easily installed on the Crystal Suit.
Five days ago, the Combat Ability Detector finally arrived. I personally experienced it, and I have to say that although the effect wasn't as perfect as the advertisement boasted, it wasn't perfect. But it was indeed worth it.
From the perspective of a refiner, the magical equipment had a beautiful shape and a rigorous structure. Its spiritual energy circuits were very smooth, and it was impeccable when it was operated.
Although it was a piece of cheap, popular magical equipment, after I dismantled it, I found that it adopted a lot of very complicated super-tiny rune arrays and chips. It even used seven extremely difficult layout methods.
Such a design was definitely the work of a master.
I thought at the time. This magic treasure would definitely become popular.
"As I expected, after only one week of release, not only has the magical equipment been highly praised on the Nexus, many specialists and scholars in the circle have given it high comments, too. Even the journal of the Refining Department of Flying Star University has listed it as one of the ten most recommended magical equipment every month.
Furthermore, it was ranked first on the monthly small-sized magical equipment sales list of many websites!
In just one week, I reached the top of the list, which greatly exceeded my expectations.
After studying it carefully, I discovered that on the first day of its release. The Combat Ability Detector received a large order from Iron Plateau.
The six tribes of Iron Plateau had ordered a hundred thousand Combat Ability Detectors!
My curiosity was immediately piqued.
Although the communication between Iron Plateau and the world of Cultivators had begun, it was still quite strange that such a large order had been received when a piece of new magical equipment was just released.
The manufacturer of the Combat Ability Detector. It was an unknown company. However, when I traced its origin on the Spiritual Nexus, I discovered that the company belonged to the Glorious Sunlight Group!
The Glorious Sunlight Group. Wasn't it Master Sand Scorpion's business that Sister Long mentioned before?
I took the Combat Ability Detector. I asked Master Sand Scorpion carefully.
But he admitted without hesitation that the Combat Ability Detector was the first magical equipment developed by the Glorious Sunlight Refining Center under his name, and that he was the one who had directed the entire development process!
In other words, the Combat Ability Detector was Master Sand Scorpion's work!
I was dumbfounded!
I knew that Master Sand Scorpion was awesome, but I didn't know that he was so awesome.
That wasn't all. I ran into Master Hou Zitao during dinner.
Professor Hou had been acting mysteriously for the past few months. He had devoted all his energy to the research and development of superweapons. Whenever he saw him occasionally, he would be absent-minded and absent-minded, as if he had not slept for ten days and ten nights.
But today, he couldn't have been more excited. He was jumping up and down like a monkey. When he saw me, he couldn't stop talking. He said that his super weapon 'chain gun' had finally been developed and that the tests had been very successful. Its performance was beyond his expectations, and that it would be mass-produced very soon. It would certainly cause a sensation!
Of course, I congratulated him. But then, blushing, he said that the magical equipment was not produced by him alone but by him and Master Sand Scorpion together. Master Sand Scorpion even made more contributions and was the best refiner. He was only the second refiner.
I took the opportunity to ask him what he thought of Master Sand Scorpion's expertise in refining.
He scratched his head for a long time and only said three words.
I can't see through them.
The 'Edge Sharpeners' Meeting, which is held once every five years, is only a little more than a month away.
I wonder, when Master Sand Scorpion shows up in the meeting hall with the Combat Ability Detector and the chain gun, how will the guys who questioned his expertise in refining look?
I'm looking forward to it!

Answer the question of a loyal reader.
Question: Is it necessary to combine a saber, a sword, and a gun? Modern guns are rarely equipped with bayonets!
Even if it is necessary, you can always turn off the vibration saber during shooting. Why do you have to combine them with a rotating chain?
Answer: It is necessary.
Modern guns are not equipped with bayonets mainly for two reasons.
Firstly, the bullets of modern guns are powerful enough to disable the enemy's combat ability once they hit the target.
Secondly, it will take at least ten seconds for a modern enemy, even Bolt the Flying Man, to run a hundred meters fully armed, won't it?
Suppose you run into an enemy Bolt thirty meters away, and he draws his dagger and runs to you at full speed, it will take at least three to four seconds.
Three to four seconds is enough for you to shoot and blow him up.
But the world of forty thousand years of Cultivation is different.
In this world, firstly, if the enemy is not a thick-skinned demon beast or a well-defended Exo, a clip of bullets will not be enough to take care of them.
Secondly, both demon beasts and Exos are very fast. They can break the speed of sound all the time and reach the nose from hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye.
Is it enough to drop the gun and put on a saber in a fraction of a second? Is it enough to trigger the vibration saber from static state to high-frequency vibration?
I don't think it's enough.
Therefore, the front end of a gun must be equipped with a melee weapon that can be operated continuously in order to meet the needs of such a special setting and battlefield.
In order to ensure that the shooting accuracy is not affected, the chainsaw mode is more suitable than the high-frequency vibration mode. (To be continued.)
