Chapter 478: Can Be Said as Very Pleased
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Under the leadership of some elders, the Heavenly Academy formed a research group to develop a series of gauss weapons.
For cultivators, it was not a big deal to change the shapes of lightning bolts, flames, and other things. In fact, some powerful spiritual spells took the form of dragons, phoenixes, or kirins not only for good looks; some auspicious symbols coming from the ancient bloodlines represented a force or a type of control of some energy.
One of the inherited spiritual spells in the Heavenly Academy could transform lightning fire into thin threads; it was a method to increase one’s control of spiritual spells.
The Baoping Spiritual Master had studied this area with her research group formed by disciples for a while now. The moment she logged into QQ, she found that people were talking about this topic in the group chat.
Li Haoran said, [We have understood a small part of the structure of the gun.]
In the game, he had disassembled a small part of his gun.
On the ground by his feet was loot that he got from the enemy marines.
Baoping Spiritual Master replied, [The structure looks simple… It’s a metal coil with lightning energy?]
Li Haoran said, [There are some complicated shooting mechanisms, but I think this is the main part.]
Tang Yu chimed in, [It sounds simple, but when I was trying to mimic it, the bullet got stuck in the coil and wouldn’t shoot out. Please tell me where it went wrong It looks so simple…]
You’re reading on .com Thanks!
Baoping Spiritual Master replied, [Really? I thought one coil was enough…]
Very naïve.
When electricity was conducted into the metal coil, the electromagnetic force at both ends would reach the maximum, but the thrust forces were aiming at the opposite direction, which meant that the bullet would be pushed and stuck in the middle. To solve the problem, they had to release the electricity in pulses. These people just put electricity into the coil without thinking, and it was natural that the bullet wouldn’t come out.
These cultivators obviously knew nothing about theories and thus encountered awkward problems when they mimicked the structures.
Li Haoran said, [I thought this thing would be super simple. How come the bullets can’t shoot out?]
Tang Yu seconded that, [Yeah. Could it be that these guns are fake?]
Duan Yue refuted, [ We even simulated about 30 percent the power of Heavenly Mirror, and its force was unrivaled. Don’t say things that you don’t understand.]
Since most cultivators knew a little about artifact making, sometimes the group chat for artifact masters was visited by people not of this profession.
Su Tianji read the discussions in the group chat and downloaded a copy of the theory behind the use of the spell that could transform lightning fire into threads, which wasn’t a confidential document.
Su Tianji said, [Daoist friends, with our abilities, don’t you think that we can use the theory of the gauss guns to make a new spiritual spell? For example, we can discard the spiritual artifact and transform the lightning energy into a coil with our lightning spell. Then, we just put in the bullets; it will be more convenient.]
Mr. Fang added, [Good idea. Are you going to research it? ]
[!!?? How come the shop owner slipped into our group?] Baoping Spiritual Master was surprised.
[Even she, a person who has never made artifacts before, could slip in, why can’t I? Don’t forget who taught you the gun-making knowledge.] Mr. Fang wiped sweat off his forehead. [Just came out of training, and I’m surprised to find that you are talking about such an interesting topic.]
Duan Yue replied, [ Mr. Fang’s everywhere.]
Baoping Spiritual Master asked, [Do you guys want to research and develop new spiritual spells?]
Indeed, if they were like the ordinary people in the game, studying guns would be more than enough on their plates. However, they were cultivators with extremely high cultivation strengths, and some of them excelled in the lightning spell.
Some of them could directly use things and command power that others couldn’t even do with the help of spiritual artifacts.
Perhaps one day, they didn’t have to borrow heavenly power or ancient auspicious symbols in their spiritual spells; they would invent some new and special spiritual spells.
Mr. Fang said, [You guys can indeed look into it. I even have a name for this spell…]
Su Tianji quickly chimed in, [I got a name for it too! I think it can be called Tianji Godly-Lightning! ]
Ning Bi said, [Green (Bi) Water Godly Lightning sounds better ]
Li Haoran suggested, [Call it Qian-Kun Limitless Shocking-Thunder Cannon!]
Mr. Fang was at a loss for words. [… I can’t find names dumber than these. Can you have a more serious case of eighth-grader syndrome?]
…
While people were in heated discussions in the group chats in QQ, several elders gathered in the Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace.
The chilly murderous spirit filled the solemn great hall.
In recent years, the ambitious Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace had restrained their behaviors and kept themselves within the acceptable zone.
After all, the other big ancient families were too powerful to be ignored.
“What the heck is the background of the shop in Yuanyang City? Have you found it out?” The middle-aged man sitting in the center of the great hall asked; his eyes were deep, and profound light flashed in there.
“This kid seems to come from the Deserted Sea Realm,” a silver-robed old man said, “In normal circumstances, a cultivator from the Deserted Sea Realm can’t be so powerful.”
“Indeed, the cultivators from Deserted Sea Realm can’t catch up with us even after 10,000 years.”
“Do you mean…” The dignified-looking man sitting in the center of the great hall said, “This kid got a treasure?”
“Something like that, even if it isn’t exact,” the old man said, “is good news for our Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace.”
“But…” the middle-aged man said coldly, “I heard that even that old Gu Tingyun is involved with this shop.”
“Hmph! How much longer can that old guy live?” the old man said with a snort, “When those people of our Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace come out, no one is our match, not the other ancient families or the Heavenly Academy!”
“We have waited for so long!”
A gloomy growl came from the Sword Tomb of Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace; it wasn’t a human’s voice. The sound was deep and metallic, and it felt as if it were resonating in everyone’s heart.
The disciples of the Nangong Family who were guarding the entrance of the Sword Tomb looked terrified as if they had seen the most horrifying thing in their lives.
“I think…” the elder said coldly, “Before we conquer the ancient families, we must remove that obstacle and the Heavenly Academy. We can stun the ancient families and show them the great force of our Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace!”
“By then, they will understand the situation and submit to us. Otherwise, we will show them no mercy, and they can’t complain about it!”
Hearing that gloomy sound, the people in the great hall looked pleased instead of terrified. “What a surprise… What made them wake up so early?”
One elder suggested, “I think we can invite the masters of the big ancient families to watch how we remove these people who overestimate themselves in person.”
“Right!” another elder said fiercely, “In the past 1,000 years, no one dared to mess with people of our family; even the big ancient families must be respectful toward us. Who is this kid? How dare he try to act tough before us?! I’ll see how he looks when we raze his shop to the ground!”
“Wen’er had the best talent in the younger generations of our family; I’ll let these wastrels die with him to keep him company! This is the only way that I can vent my anger!”
“Hahaha!” Hearty laughter came from the great hall.
They were very happy at this prospect.
