Chapter 24: Cleaning Up the Flying Qilin Beast Herd

  "How about it, doesn't everyone think that red sakura gun is incredibly powerful?" Zhang Tianming smiled and said to all the students present, "The one just now was indeed the County Magistrate of Yanhuo, a level 5 martial artist with a powerful spirit, holding in his hand his famous weapon, the three-star spiritual artifact - Huojian Gun. This gun was specially crafted by a master craftsman for him and is extremely sharp, not only that but it also has the ability to condense fire and increase spiritual power by three times! And remember, this triple increase is after the amplification of spiritual power! Moreover, his armor is a three-star spiritual armor that can weaken any attack by 70% and ignore all piercing spiritual attacks."

  Yang Tong was stunned, the spiritual armor could still block 70% of the attacks even if it was pierced. The fire-tipped spear was also the same, if he awakened and his spiritual power increased threefold through the Wind Wolf Fist's amplification method, and then amplified another threefold by the weapon, it would be truly terrifying.

  This is a power that thermal weapons absolutely cannot reach, and even the most powerful spiritual sniper rifle of Type C cannot reach such amplified power. No wonder, thermal weapons can't replace cold weapons in the eyes of the strong at all.

  "Are those cold weapons used by the awakened strongmen all tailor-made?" Yang Tong asked curiously.

  "This, I can answer you. There are also mass-produced models of cold weapons on the market, with various attributes available, only with much greater differences in power. Even slightly wealthy masters will choose to find a spiritual instrument master to tailor-make a set of attack and defense spiritual instruments for them." Zhang Tianming replied straightforwardly.

  Yang Tong's eyes rolled back, thinking to himself, no wonder the status of a spiritual tool master is so high. The number of martial spirit masters is tens of thousands times that of divine thought masters, and among them, spiritual tool masters are just one of the larger professions, not all divine thought masters will become spiritual tool masters. While martial spirit masters want to improve their strength, they will definitely find a spiritual tool master to custom-make their weapons and equipment, tsk tsk tsk... just thinking about it makes you realize how high the income and status of a spiritual tool master is.

  Yang Tong had already thought of becoming a Lingju Master, and the awakening was only a matter of time for him. It was also destined that he would become a Shennian Master. Yang Tong was not in a hurry, as he was still under thirteen years old and had plenty of time. The soul condensation required one to two years, and after stabilizing for a while, he could awaken after understanding his will. Awakening at the age of twenty or so was not considered remarkable.

  Two hours passed quickly and another group of people replaced Yang Tong and others.

  Everyone went down to the next floor, some sat in meditation to repair their spirits, while others occasionally looked out from the lookout port to observe the battle outside.

  "Yang Tong, how are you feeling?" Feng Xiaobo asked solemnly for once.

  "It's very powerful." Yang Tong suddenly understood what Feng Xiaobo was asking.

  "Yes, strong, extremely strong." Feng Xiaobo said with a clenched fist, "I also want to be this strong!"

  Yang Tong had never heard Feng Xiaobo speak so firmly before, Yang Tong nodded and didn't say much.

  Time passed day by day, and the whole county was almost shrouded in beastly howls, which could be heard at any moment, making people's hair stand on end.

  The number of flying beast groups has finally started to decrease, at least by half compared to a few days ago.

  During this period, Yanhuo County Magistrate also led his subordinates to clean up the beast group's corpses several times, and after collecting the beast crystals, they were distributed again.

  It's Yang Tong and Feng Xiaobo's turn again. After all these years, everyone has gotten used to this kind of scene, and they've also become desensitized to the bloody scenes.

  Yang Tong looked out from the shooting mouth and happened to see the county magistrate of Yanhuo jumping onto the city wall, with his armor disappearing like flowing water, turning back into a belt.

  The county magistrate of Yanhuo took out a token-like object, lightly touched it, and a virtual image floated in mid-air. The image was a person, behind whom countless ferocious beasts could be vaguely seen charging wildly.

  "Blazing fire, we can't hold on much longer, I've already ordered a retreat, how's it going on your side?" the person in the image asked anxiously.

  "How can it be so fast? I still have half of it left to clean up." Yanhuo said loudly.

  "This time the barbarian hordes are coming for real, ten times more ferocious than sixty years ago. We must prepare for the worst."

  "Alright, I understand. You guys retreat to the second line of defense as soon as possible, be careful." Yan Huo said and then closed the image.

  Yang Tong was stunned and patted Feng Xiaobo, asking: "What is that thing?"

  He glanced at the suspended virtual image and said, "That's a Ling Message Token, a fifth-grade spiritual object. Only Awakened Ones are allowed to purchase and wear it. I've heard it has many functions, but I've only heard about them, never actually used one."

  "What? A fifth-grade spiritual artifact?! Is that even possible?" Yang Tong was shocked, he had only seen the three-piece spiritual artifact suit on the County Governor of Yanhuo, which was still a lower grade of third-grade, its power was so great that it made Yang Tong envious. And yet, this "mobile phone" was actually a fifth-grade spiritual artifact, wasn't that too exaggerated?

  "It's so exaggerated, if my grandfather hadn't told me about it, I wouldn't have believed that a small broken signboard is actually a fifth-grade spiritual artifact. How high must the technological content be?" Feng Xiaobo was also very curious. When his grandfather was alive, he lived in Luoxing City and had seen and known much more than Yang Tong, this "outsider" and "homebody".

  Yang Tong and Feng Xiaobo chatted with their mouths, but their hands didn't stop, like this kind of mobile phone farming, it doesn't require too much concentration.

  The County Magistrate of Yanhuo immediately used the Lingxun Order to contact an old man and said in a somewhat congratulatory tone: "Master Zheng Xuan, the first line of defense on the front line has been broken. Now we need Master to take action and clean up these troublesome flying beast groups."

  The old man heard this and smiled, saying: "I will not decline, I will come immediately."

  After a while, an old man wearing a golden spiritual armor and riding on a rather special flying vehicle flew onto the city wall.

  "Magistrate, sir, I'm late," said the old man with courtesy.

  "Not late, not late, Master Zheng Xuan, please come in." Yan Huo welcomed him.

  Zheng Xuan arrived at the edge of the city wall, one more step forward would make him fall off the city wall. He looked up at the sky full of beasts and took out a huge round shield as high as a person.

  The round shield itself appears to be composed of countless palm-sized scales, and at a glance, it's clear that it's extraordinary.

  "Hey, Yang Tong, come quick and take a look over at the county head's place, it's lively!" Feng Xiaobo urged hastily.

  Yang Tong looked back and felt a wave of curiosity. The old man was obviously an expert, but why did he take out a shield?

  The old man nodded and said: "Lao Fu has made a fool of himself." After that, he threw the round shield into the air.
