Chapter 86: Firepower is King!

"What is going on!!!"

On the arena, Gao Sheng and Xu Zhizhi were running wildly along the edge of the arena while frantically pulling the triggers. Terrifying explosions continued to permeate the arena. Clearly, it was a battle between two Qi Refining cultivators, but they had forcefully fought with the feeling of a "Sect War."

Many candidates off the stage were dumbfounded.

Cao Ziwei also took a deep breath, his head a bit big, and could only forcefully find Gao Sheng's highlights in the gun battle to score.

"That is a Mechanical Bamboo Gun, which has been selling very hotly at the Lotus Auction House in the past few months. It was manufactured by that seventh layer of Qi Refining Beast-Taming cultivator using special materials." Someone had heard of what a Mechanical Bamboo Gun was and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

No wonder it sold so well; the power was truly terrifying.

"You guy." On the arena, Xu Zhizhi cursed.

Although Gao Sheng looked unreliable, he was from a prominent background after all and had several top-level spells. As the aftermath of the explosion spread, he always had incantations permeating his forehead, with a golden light protecting his body, leaving him unharmed.

In comparison, Xu Zhizhi had a much harder time. What was even more terrifying was that after two rounds of exchange, Xu Zhizhi found that the ammunition Lin Jing gave him wasn't enough at all! And on Gao Sheng's side, the ammunition seemed very sufficient! This rich guy seemed to have bought five hundred rounds at the beginning!

Before long, Xu Zhizhi was defeated because his ammunition was insufficient.

"Brother Lin, you harmed me! Why sell so many guns!" Xu Zhizhi was in great pain.

Behind him, Lin Jing looked innocent. This Gao Sheng... was more powerful than he imagined. Even if both sides didn't have Mechanical Bamboo Guns, Xu Zhizhi probably wouldn't be his opponent. His spell strength and magic treasure count were all crushed by Gao Sheng...

"You concede." Gao Sheng put away the bamboo gun and laughed loudly.

"Next one." Cao Ziwei said quickly.

The next one to take the stage was a female cultivator in a red dress, with a hot figure.

"Fire Domain, Burning Heaven Valley, Qian Zhuo. I want to challenge this examiner." The red-dressed female cultivator knew Zi Ling'er quite well. She knew very well that Pill Cauldron Sect disciples were not good at fighting, and the only thing they were powerful at was controlling fire. But she was an Innate Fire Spirit Body, and fire posed very little threat to her. Although it was a cross-level battle, she would definitely be able to perform well and get a high score.

Hearing this, Zi Ling'er walked up calmly. As Cao Ziwei announced the start, Zi Ling'er, to everyone's astonishment... actually reached back and pulled out a Mechanical Bamboo Gun.

"Uh. Why is it this again!" The red-dressed female cultivator was stunned. Zi Ling'er had already fired directly, and water flowed into the sky. Seeing this, the Fire Spirit Body reacted immediately, spitting fire from her fiery red lips while retreating quickly, condensing a fire wall to resist!!!

Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

The fire wall expanded. Although it almost cracked several times, the exploding spirit bean bombs didn't completely break through the fire wall. The woman was clearly more capable than the previous body-tempering cultivator.

"This kind of little trick is useless against me. I'm not like that body-tempering cultivator." Seeing that she had successfully resisted, the red-dressed girl smiled and said: "Little sister, use the Pill Cauldron Sect's fire-control secret technique! Let me see..."

Before she finished speaking, her face turned purple, and she knelt down on one knee, then fell to the ground with a thud.

Zi Ling'er glanced at her: "I mixed poison pills that can be triggered by high temperatures into the ammunition. Don't forget, I am a pill master."

The poison pills were detonated into dust by the spirit bean bombs, mixed into the water mist, and then triggered by the high temperature of the fire method, directly causing the Fire Spirit Body to be hit.

She put away the Mechanical Bamboo Gun and, with the help of pills, defeated her opponent with only a small amount of ammunition.

"What is all this!!!"

The candidates were completely dumbfounded. It was one thing for the new examiners to use machine guns, but how come they even improved the machine guns?!

Many candidates looked at the manufacturer of the Mechanical Bamboo Gun, the culprit of everything, Beast-Taming Sect's Lin Jing.

Can this assessment still go on?

How come all three matches were machine gun battles!

Is it not worthy of taking the stage for assessment without a Mechanical Bamboo Gun?

Just then, another candidate stepped onto the arena. He was tall and arrogant.

"If you can lose to this kind of simple mechanical creation, you might as well go home and cultivate."

"Dao Domain, Ten Thousand Laws City, Jiang Chuanhe. I want to challenge the manufacturer of this Mechanical Bamboo Gun, the Beast-Taming Sect cultivator, Lin Jing... to be precise, I want to challenge that pet beast of his that once reversed the Foundation Establishment at the Qi Refining stage!"

He came with bad intentions, wanting to use Lin Jing as a stepping stone to achieve his fame in Hidden Dragon City.

Lin Jing walked out peacefully, not angry because the other party looked down on the Mechanical Bamboo Gun.

He smiled gently: "This candidate, please."

"However, if you want to challenge my Pine-Leaf Rat, you must first pass the Mechanical Bamboo Gun test."

After speaking, Lin Jing also summoned a Mechanical Bamboo Gun and held it in his hand, making Jiang Chuanhe raise his eyebrows.

Before he could speak, Lin Jing took out another one, holding a Mechanical Bamboo Gun in each hand.

"You think two are..." Jiang Chuanhe smiled. Two Mechanical Bamboo Guns were indeed more powerful, but he was different from the two losers just now. Before he could finish speaking, his expression changed drastically.

Only to see Lin Jing summon a two-meter-tall mechanical giant turtle standing on two feet!

This work was compiled and uploaded by...

This giant turtle was composed of precise mechanical parts and special spirit bamboo. It was deep blue all over. What made people silent was that it had towering mechanical turrets on its two shoulders, and its two hands also held a Mechanical Bamboo Gun each.

It was exactly the new mechanical bamboo turtle that Lin Jing had finished strengthening and upgrading over the past few months!

Added to the two Mechanical Bamboo Guns in Lin Jing's hands, that made four guns and two cannons.

"Uh." Jiang Chuanhe's eyes instantly cleared. Wait, this turtle, you guys...

Lin Jing's eyes were filled with luster, communicating with the soul core of the mechanical turtle, controlling the mechanical beast with his mind!

"Roar!!!" Accompanied by a giant roar from the mechanical turtle, it seemed to come alive. Its expression was fierce, and the complex spirit-gathering array patterns in its body were driven to the limit by Lin Jing's mind, with astonishing efficiency. The two gun muzzles and two cannon muzzles instantly condensed terrifying water flow, with brilliant spirit light, rushing toward him from several directions under the situation where Jiang Chuanhe's expression changed drastically!

Almost instantaneous!

Besides that, Lin Jing also grinned and pressed the two Mechanical Bamboo Guns with spirit-gathering arrays and strengthened versions.

"Mysterious Annihilation Finger!!!"

Jiang Chuanhe's expression changed again and again, finally feeling the pressure. The veins on his arms bulged, and true qi swirled around his fingers, forcefully poking several times.

Giant finger phantoms formed, erupting with great power, looking far more destructive and profound than the ordinary Mechanical Bamboo Gun.

But...

Let alone spirit bean bombs, under Lin Jing's powerful mind control, the high-pressure water cannons sprayed by the mechanical turtle alone restrained the Mysterious Annihilation Finger, and the two sides collided and squeezed in mid-air!

And as the spirit bean bombs completely detonated, the terrifying spirit power hurricane instantly blew Jiang Chuanhe off the arena, making his eyes turn white.

Seeing this, many candidates changed color, and several well-known geniuses like the Divine Spirit Sect Goddess and the Wang family's Heavenly Divine Body also frowned.

"This... what is this!!" Let alone the candidates, Yuan Jing, Zi Ling'er, and Xu Zhizhi all opened their mouths wide looking at this fierce mechanical turtle. No... is this the palm-sized little turtle from the Cave Heaven back then?!

"There is no opponent that cannot be solved by a Mechanical Bamboo Gun. If there is, then buy two, buy four..." Lin Jing said: "On the road of cultivation, firepower is king. This candidate, you are attached to appearances. Remember not to underestimate anything..."
