Chapter 124: Accidentally Creating a Profession

Just as he was deep in thought, a familiar name suddenly entered his ears from Long Wanli's mouth, interrupting his train of thought and making him instantly sober.

"Now, Long Xuan, Long Panpan, enter the No. 1 Gu Pit."

Hearing this familiar name, Long Xuan was slightly stunned. What a coincidence that he was the first to enter the field again.

Being the first to enter the field was truly too eye-catching; he really didn't like the feeling of being the focus.

He walked slowly to the Gu Pit and saw that his opponent was actually a sweet and cute-looking female Gu cultivator. This woman's name was Long Panpan, and he had truly heard a little about her.

After all, she was the Long Clan's second beauty, her attractiveness only second to Long Ziyan. One was the cold type, the other the cute type. Both had extremely high popularity in the Long Clan and were prominent figures of the younger generation. It would be difficult for him not to notice this name.

At the same time, precisely because she was the clan's second beauty, all the onlookers ran toward the No. 1 Gu Pit. The No. 1 Gu Pit once again gathered the gaze of everyone in the field.

Long Xuan's face was also watched by everyone in the field, making him, who liked to keep a low profile, feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Panpan! Go! Go! Kill him!"

Hearing the shouting of the entire field cheering for Long Panpan, Long Xuan's face turned black.

When he saw Long Panpan remove the insect armor from the Earth Mover Beetle and replace it with an insect armor engraved with the Forbidden Air Array, and then smile sweetly at him, Long Xuan's face turned even blacker.

Good fellow, it was actually the Forbidden Air Array. This thing was a natural nemesis to his bee swarm!

It looked like after the mid-session break, many people had already found things to restrain him.

In such a short time, it was naturally impossible to instantly create an insect armor to restrain him.

But now, a new type of profession had appeared in the Long Clan, called the Insect Armor Master. The Insect Armor Master was a very profitable special profession, even surpassing the Alchemist. The way this profession made money was by refining various insect armors for bugs to make a living.

Powerful Insect Armor Masters could use the combination of instrument patterns and array patterns to refine very powerful insect armors, which were extremely sought after.

Don't ever think that the Insect Armor Master's service objects were only Earth Mover Beetles. The reason Earth Mover Beetles could wear insect armor to fight was because they satisfied the two characteristics of large surface area and great strength.

It could be said that as long as an insect species satisfied these two conditions at the same time, it could wear insect armor.

Although large-volume Gu worms were rare, they were not non-existent in this world. It was definitely not just the Earth Mover Beetle that was suitable for wearing armor.

There were many Gu species that satisfied the requirements, it was just that their strength, volume, and cost-effectiveness were far inferior to the Earth Mover Beetle, but they definitely already possessed the conditions for wearing armor.

Long Xuan's brain-hole idea of putting armor on Gu worms couldn't be kept secret. Others only needed to take one look to easily copy it.

So, the gameplay of putting armor on Gu worms began to become popular in this region, and there was a trend of becoming more and more intense.

And this trend was spreading to surrounding regions at an astonishing speed, becoming the fighting method most loved by all Gu cultivators. It could be said that this fighting method was now a major trend.

Insect armor was a new thing, but since there was demand, it would naturally give birth to a batch of professions specializing in making insect armor, even using this as a means of livelihood.

Under this trend, Insect Armor Masters sprang up like mushrooms after rain and began to become more and more popular. With the Long Clan as the center, Insect Armor Masters were spreading to the surroundings like a malignant tumor at an astonishing speed, and also began to infect major regions.

The Insect Armor Master had become the hottest special profession at the moment, with a trend of sweeping the whole world, becoming one of the most profitable special professions at the moment, making many Gu cultivators with the talent for making insect armor flock to it.

Many people couldn't wait to switch professions to become Insect Armor Masters, to catch up with this new wave, and seize this new opportunity that was enough to soar into the sky.

Long Xuan was truly too awesome. He actually directly created a new special profession in this world. He became the founding ancestor of the Insect Armor Master profession and was the originator of this school.

But he would eventually be backlashed by the things he messed around with. Now that someone was already going to use insect armor to deal with him.

Insect armor had limited area and could often only carry one array, so most people would choose to engrave attack-type arrays on the insect armor. He hadn't encountered insect armor with the Forbidden Air Array in the first half.

But taking advantage of this mid-session break, it was enough for Long Panpan to buy an insect armor carrying the Forbidden Air Array from a Long Clan Insect Armor Master to deal with him.

Every Insect Armor Master had a pile of insect armor for sale, all ready-made. She just needed to buy it directly; there was no need to spend time making it herself.

Since she could buy insect armor that restrained him from an Insect Armor Master, others could too.

So, the number of people possessing Forbidden Air insect armor in the second half would definitely not be just Long Panpan. The opponents he encountered later might each have a Forbidden Air Array. After all, things like cement were truly too cheap.

Long Xuan's scalp went numb, feeling immense pressure. He was counting on the bee swarm to survive. If his bee swarm was abolished, then what the hell was he going to fight with?

No way, since the Forbidden Air insect armor was rampant, then this difficult battle couldn't be conceded. He must overcome it; otherwise, he might as well concede later on; there was simply no way to fight.

Seeing Long Panpan looking at him with a playful smile, Long Xuan also got angry. To actually dare to bully the founding ancestor of the Insect Armor Master, he must beat her until she cried.

Originally, he was too lazy to arrange tactics and didn't want to use his brain during the Gu fight, but she forced him to use his brain. In this situation, it was obviously not going to work if he didn't use his brain.

The gameplay of Gu fighting itself was half reliant on the strength of the Gu worms and half on the strategy of the Gu cultivator. Now it seemed he must also follow the rules of the game. It was time to use his high-IQ brain to arrange tactics for the bee swarm.

Long Xuan frantically operated his clever brain. With his IQ, in just a few seconds, he thought of a tactic for the bee swarm to ignore the Forbidden Air Array.

After Long Xuan transmitted his thoughts to the Bee King Bing Bing via soul, Bing Bing looked at Long Xuan with wide eyes, thinking, how could he be so smart? How could it not have thought of such a rogue strategy? It was truly amazing.

After giving Long Xuan a shocked look, it led the bee swarm to fly toward the sky above the No. 1 Gu Pit. Long Panpan looked at the bee swarm filling the sky and revealed a beautiful smile.

However, just as she was about to use the Earth Mover Beetle's Forbidden Air Array, something that left her bewildered happened.

The bee swarm actually scattered and fled, flying to the sky above the other Gu pits.

Long Panpan was stunned on the spot, her small mouth slowly opening wide.

It wasn't just Long Panpan who was bewildered; at this moment, all the onlookers were bewildered. One by one, they were dumbfounded, looking at the sky with strange expressions. The entire field instantly fell silent.

Long Xuan revealed a cold smile. Wanting to play schemes and tricks with him, she was still too young. He was the ancestor of playing schemes.

This had to mention a rule of the Gu Fighting Tournament: Gu worms leaving the Gu pit were considered out of bounds and judged as a loss.

But the ground could be demarcated with the Gu pit as the boundary. How could flying Gu worms be judged as out of bounds? No way, Gu worms flying into the sky had no boundaries; only those landing on the ground outside the Gu pit were judged as out of bounds.

So Long Xuan's belly full of bad ideas came. Since there were no boundaries in the sky, could he fly to the sky above the other Gu pits?

If you have the ability, continue to use the Forbidden Air Array, but doing so would only pull down the flying Gu worms of the other contestants in the other Gu pits. This would become two-on-one, which would definitely not be allowed.

So Long Panpan was stunned on the spot; she clearly had a Forbidden Air Formation in her hand, but she didn't know whether to activate it or not.

Not opening it meant getting beaten; opening it would interfere with the other contestants. Wouldn't the other contestants then fight her for their lives?

Thus, her head became completely big, and her wide-open small mouth didn't close for a long time.

"Despicable! You are truly too despicable!"

"If you have the ability, let them fly over!" Long Panpan was so angry she stomped her feet, pointing at Long Xuan and shouting in a breakdown.

"Hehe! Why don't you open your Forbidden Air Array? Why aren't you opening it?" Long Xuan revealed a punchable smile.

"Damn! This is too rogue, right? Despicable!"

"Truly too despicable! Is it really okay to bully a beauty like this?"

"Good tactic! Why didn't I think of using this method to crack the Forbidden Air Array? Truly a good strategy, good strategy!"

At this moment, all the Gu cultivators in the field were boiling, and there was a buzz of discussion. Some revealed smiles of watching a good show, while others cursed him as despicable, standing up for Long Panpan. The crowd was in chaos.

At this time, the group of high-level members on the high platform also kept twitching the corners of their mouths, looking at each other. Each of their expressions was extremely wonderful, having lost their expression management.

"A bit rogue, is this really allowed?" The Fourth Elder twitched the corners of his mouth and said.

"At least in the rules, it is clearly stipulated that flying Gu worms are only considered out of bounds if they land on the ground outside the Gu pit range. His tactic complies with the competition rules," the Great Elder said with a bitter smile.

"He is finding loopholes in the rules. He really has his ways. He can think of any bad move. I like this kid," the Second Elder hooked the corners of his mouth into an appreciative smile.

"Reasonably utilizing the rules is also a kind of wisdom. The fun of Gu fighting is using strategy to defeat stronger opponents. Since he didn't violate the competition rules, we naturally have no reason to stop him."

"It's just that the next Gu Fighting Tournament will definitely have to draw boundaries for the sky." Long Wanli looked at the sky, helplessly revealing a bitter expression. How should boundaries be drawn for this sky? This kid truly gave him a huge problem.

Seeing that the high-level members sitting on the high platform didn't stop him, Long Xuan didn't hesitate anymore and immediately ordered Bing Bing to launch an attack.

In an instant, following the order of the Bee King Bing Bing, all the Ice Bees aimed at the No. 1 Gu Pit and fired a volley. The needle rain sprinkled down like raindrops, covering the entire Gu pit, leaving no gap for evasion. Everyone watching felt their scalps go numb.

At the same time, Long Xuan's Earth Mover Beetle ancestor also rushed into the Gu pit, braving the needle rain, and went up to give the unfilial descendants of the Earth Mover Beetle in the pit a fierce beating.

Long Panpan's face instantly turned pale, and she hurriedly waved her hand and shouted, "Stop shooting! Stop shooting! I concede!"

She had an expression like she was about to cry.

Seeing her look like rain-beaten pear blossoms, Long Xuan could only order to stop the attack, threw a pill bottle toward her, and then turned around and walked out dashingly.

At this time, not only her, but everyone who had already bought Forbidden Air insect armor revealed expressions like they were about to cry. It was over; the Forbidden Air insect armor was bought in vain.

This Forbidden Air insect armor not only couldn't target the bee swarm, but this kind of tactic would also be learned by others, causing the Forbidden Air Array to become useless waste in all Gu fighting matches. The Forbidden Air insect armor was completely smashed in their hands.
