Bell Bell Bell –

The loud assembly call sounded, and the gun-wielding phalanx, uniformly dressed in cotton, linen, and brown short-fighting costumes, boarded the stage of the arena, with thirty columns and five rows, a total of 150 people carrying flintlock pistols and waiting for them, and on the opposite side was a trio headed by Hongchen's grandson.

They are the sixth-level soul master Yue Hongchen, and the two fifth-level soul masters, and now they are in the team competition at the bottom of the box in the knockout round.

Judging from the number of people, this seems to be unfair to the soul master's side, which is considered one person for fifty people on the ordinary side, but in fact, it is unfair to the ordinary people's side.

According to the population yellow book, there are about four billion people on the Sun Moon Continent, but there are only more than 400,000 soul masters, in other words, 10,000 ordinary people correspond to a soul master.

Even if only one-twenty of these 10,000 ordinary people can become a warrior armed with firearms, that one soul master has to fight against 500 ordinary people.

Because of this, when ordinary people pick up firearms, any soul master with a little brain knows that the times have changed, and they can no longer suppress the rise of ordinary people.

The soul masters who realized this came to this Half Moon City under the leadership of Seeing Hongchen.

Drawing on the nutrients brought about by scientific knowledge.

Just like the Hongchen family, who are born to manipulate metal, after being exposed to the knowledge of electromagnetism, optics, mechanical principles, etc., now give them a piece of metal, and they can directly incarnate into weapon masters.

Yue Hongchen, who was standing in front of the flintlock pistol team, was playing with a piece of pitch-black metal in his hand, as a genius with innate soul power, he should have been proud of all beings, but here, no matter how much arrogance he had, he could only put it away, to be honest, the flintlock pistol array on the opposite side still had some threats to ordinary fifth-level soul masters, but for true genius soul masters, it was just a target that would not move.

"Boss, if we win, what questions are you going to ask that person?"

The person holding the thick shield couldn't help but ask, Yue Hongchen is a recognized first-day genius soul master in Mingdu, and winning this refiner competition can be said to be without suspense.

"I really envy these people, if they can listen to the teachings of that person, it has only been four months, and they can challenge us with such a pile of firearms."

The other person was also holding a shield, his face showed a look of real envy, before coming to Half Moon City, the old man of their family had explained that it was a powerful existence that had never appeared before, and it was very likely to be a god.

"You'd better put away the arrogance in your hearts, these ordinary people in front of you are not simple, the knowledge that he imparted can be said to be well known in this Half Moon City, but not everyone can make weapons based on that knowledge."

Yue Hongchen reprimanded the two junior brothers beside him, and then said: "Counting it, there has been no breakthrough in soul guide technology for tens of thousands of years, I want to ask about the direction after the ninth-level soul guide." ”

As he spoke, he glanced up at the main podium in the sky, and then prepared himself and his teammates to be baptized by the rain of bullets.

"The construction of this firearm is very ingenious, but gunpowder and steel are mortal after all, and no amount of exquisite equipment can find the rules of the world.

The core of the soul guide originated from the primordial patterns in the soul beast clan's body, and if the soul master no longer just used it, but sensed the operation of the world through it, then they might be able to create an artifact.

No matter how you look at it, the soul guide is more promising. ”

Gu Yuena can analyze the flintlock pistol at a glance and disassemble it into parts, and in the same way, the soul guide is the same, so she can be said to be a natural top-level soul master.

Using a trace of soul power plus spiritual power to attract the flow of elements between heaven and earth, forming the so-called soul technique is Gu Yuena's unique ability, which involves the problem of elemental affinity.

Even if the human race has enough soul power and spiritual power, it cannot establish a soul magic system similar to magic by analyzing the elemental imprints that already exist between heaven and earth.

"Don't look down on scientific creations so much, a ninth-level soul guide can't destroy a city, but there is a weapon called a nuclear bomb in science that can. The weapons held by those below are nothing more than products of the pre-industrial age, and real firearms are definitely no worse than existing soul guides. ”

Gu Zhi thought for a moment and said: "There is such a concept in science, there are four basic forces in the universe, gravity, electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force, which is the basic law of material composition, and it is said that science cannot touch the laws of the world, but you know too little." ”

As his words fell, the referee in the field blew the whistle for the game.

I saw that the leader of the flintlock pistol made a gesture and ordered loudly: "All the people are lined up in dense fire coverage, and the battle begins." ”

One hundred and fifty people instantly formed a semi-circular arc in three formations, and they did not hesitate, and the fifty people in front immediately pulled the trigger, and the flintlock pistols with a killing range of more than two hundred meters spewed out thick smoke and steel bullets, and ten steel bullets were fired at subsonic speed for each gunshot.

After firing a shot, the gunners immediately retreated, and their companions behind them made up for it, stuffing gunpowder cakes and steel bullets into the barrels, and compacting them with copper bars, a process that took five seconds despite their good training.

"With a little bit of strength, fifty flintlock pistols in a volley, it's really unbearable to be a fourth-level soul master."

"That's right, those mediocre people who can't reach level five in their lives should be afraid of ordinary people."

The two men holding the shield had a relaxed face, and the echo shield in their hands could absorb a large amount of impact, and its function was similar to that of vibranium.

The impact of hundreds of steel bullets was not a deadly offensive for a soul king like them, and they just protected Yue Hongchen forward.

"You guys are no better than those mediocre people, my grandfather said, the cost of this flintlock pistol is only two gold coins, as long as they give the Eternal Chamber of Commerce time, they can make tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of flintlock pistols."

Pieces of metal were suspended around Yue Hongchen's body, and between his breaths, he turned into cannon barrels, and when he was close to the flintlock pistol phalanx for a hundred meters, he stopped, and the whole person had turned into a humanoid fort.

The ten pitch-black cannon barrels have been recharged.

"Compared with soul guides, the biggest advantage of firearms is that the production cost is low, and the threshold for use is also low, no matter how powerful firearms are, ordinary people can learn to use them through training."

Boom –

The red soul power turned into balls of light that would explode through the barrel of the cannon, and with the roar of cracking rocks, it tore through the smoke caused by the flintlock pistol, and fell on the top of the opposing team.

After all, they had only been training for two months, and such a scene still made them tremble in their legs, and they almost sat on the ground, if it weren't for the hundreds of thousands of people here watching, and there was still that person watching on their heads.

They may scatter and flee.

The exploding balls of light exploded just three feet above them, but the splashing heat and shock wave did not fall on them, they were cut off by an invisible wall.

After the fire subsided, the flintlock team stopped the attack, as the referee had already pointed the victory flag at the opposing side.

Yue Hongchen put away the barrel of the cannon on his body, with rare respect on his face, and applauded those who were still immersed in fear and loss.

The two teammates behind him were a little confused, but they still instinctively followed the boss's movements.

"I won this game, but it was the soul master's side who lost, the soul guide technology has existed for tens of thousands of years, and we soul masters have also studied it for tens of thousands of years, but the firearm has only been born for two months."

Yue Hongchen bowed and said solemnly: "Thank you for your reminder, I am really a little worried about the soul guide being replaced by firearms, and at that time, there will be no need for soul guides in the world." ”

His voice was not loud, but with the blessing of the amplification equipment, it was enough for the hundreds of thousands of people present to hear it clearly, and the audience was stunned for a while, and then applauded.

It was they who had asked for it, how could a firearm, which had only been born for two months, directly defeat the soul guide technology that had been inherited for tens of thousands of years.

The one hundred and fifty members of the flintlock pistol team, whose legs were still trembling, listened to the thunderous applause in their ears, and their hearts could not help but feel a sense of strength called determination.

The team leader stood up, gave a military salute with a serious expression, and replied: "The wise man said that the existence of tools and technology itself is not a mistake, it is people who make mistakes, we are not trying to take revenge on the soul master group, we just want to make our voice heard, and seek fairness and justice. ”

After a few resounding words, he left the arena with his soldiers, lined up in a uniform line, and disappeared into the entrance with the same neat steps.

The ordinary people united under the banner of the Eternal Chamber of Commerce have summed up the team's program, and they know what they are fighting for.

"This is the common idea that you are talking about as a group must have, not from the interests of the individual, but from the demands of the collective."

Gu Yuena glanced at Gu Zhi who was smiling, the corners of her mouth also curled, and said with a smile: "Humans are really an interesting race. ”

The wisdom of working people is truly endless, and just by telling a few stories, these people can learn from it and use it for themselves.

"The next one is the one on the side of the Eternal Chamber of Commerce."

Gu Zhi said very confidently. The team that represented the soul master in the team competition was still the three of Yue Hongchen, after all, they were the strongest young generation in Mingdu.

But when they saw one hundred and fifty people pushing seventy-five rapid-fire cannons on the field, the faces of these three people finally became calm, three cannons using white phosphorus bombs could destroy a baron's mansion, it is conceivable that these seventy-five rapid-fire cannons fired at the same time can destroy a radius of more than 500 meters.

The lethality is even higher than that of the flintlock pistol.

This time, the leader of the team was the inventor of the artillery - Liang Wu, a middle-aged man who looked a little anxious, he made a gesture, and seventy-five rapid-fire guns were immediately lined up.

With the referee's whistle, the cannon barrel erupted with raging flames, and half of the competition table was filled with cannon fire and smoke, which was enough to tear apart the body of the 10,000-year-old soul beast, even the soul saint who opened the true body of the martial soul could not withstand such a baptism of fire.

Since it is called a rapid-fire cannon, this cannon is naturally exquisite, each cannon can be loaded with ten shells, and it will be fired continuously until the shells are finished.

Ten rounds of bombing ended in just twenty seconds, and there was no need for the referee to announce it, seeing that Yue Hongchen and the three had not rushed out of the bombing range so far, Liang Wu knew that his side had won.

He clenched his fists high above his head and muttered to himself, "All fear stems from lack of firepower. ”

Soul Masters, times have changed!
