Chapter 1607 – People On Our Side
Mu Yu held a rifle in his hand as he shot at a moving target. The reason he picked up the rifle was because he wanted to set an example for the others, he wanted them to try the rifle. Seeing Mu Yu using the rifle and not his artifact, why would the other cultivators hesitate?
But to be honest, Mu Yu was quite fond of this rifle. This was because this tool doesn’t need spiritual qi to function. Although it needs spiritual qi to pull the trigger, the requirement was less than using magic artifacts.
And although the rifle was common, its power wasn’t small. The attack of the rifle was equal to an all-out attack of a Transcending Tribulation Expert. Such efficient energy consumption was something that even Severed Soul Experts like him couldn’t achieve.
Mu Yu’s Ten Thousand Falling Flowers was magnificent, beautiful, and very strong. However, this didn’t mean that each attack of the technique was at its peak. Mu Yu can’t be that consistent, but the rifle can.
Mu Yu was now very accurate with his gun. The targets were moving as fast as Severed Soul Experts. To shoot this well, one needs a certain amount of talent.
Mu Yu fired ten shots one after another at the moving target. His results were very good. Among those in the firing range, he was one of the top shooters.
At this moment, Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Brother Mu, do you like the rifles? I find that your shooting is very accurate.”
Mu Yu turned his head to Zhao Hai who was standing not far away from him. Mu Yu laughed, he put his gun down and then went to Zhao Hai, “It’s very good. Shooting feels nice. To be honest, I’m beginning to like this little thing.”
Zhao Hai smiled, then he waved his hand and took out a pair of long-barreled revolvers. Zhao Hai handed them over to Mu Yu and said, “Try this, I just made it. See how it feels.”
Mu Yu was stunned, then he took the revolvers and inspected them. He immediately understood how they worked. He held the two revolvers and aimed them at a moving target. Bang, bang! He fired two shots, but this time his timing wasn’t right. However, he was able to get used to it after the first shot.
Because of their design, the two revolvers could only carry six bullets each. However, their firepower was very good. Feeling the impact of his shots, Mu Yu began to take a liking to the revolvers.
Mu Yu shot all of the bullets inside the revolvers and then looked at them with hesitation. Seeing this, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and then waved his hand, taking out a leather belt with holsters for two guns. Fireweavers didn’t like putting their guns inside their spatial equipment. This was actually reasonable since this increased their familiarity towards the weapon.
Being familiar with their guns was the same as being familiar with magic artifacts. As one uses their artifact, they would become more proficient with it. Ang along with increased proficiency was an increase in battle prowess.
The leather belt that Zhao Hai took out was specially made for the revolvers. He didn’t know if Mu Yu would like the revolvers when he took them out, but he still prepared holsters for them just in case.
Mu Yu looked at the leather belt and immediately understood how to use them. He put the belt around his waist and then put the revolvers on the holsters.
Looking at Mu Yu’s appearance, Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Looks nice. Brother Mu, these guns will be yours from now on. I only made a few of these guns, and you’re currently the only one using them. The bullets are the same as the other rifles. However, when loading the bullets, you need this spring loader. This loader can hold six bullets. When using it, just pull open the cylinder and then push the bullets on the loader in.”
As he said that, Zhao Hai took out several spring loaders and handed them over to Mu Yu. Mu Yu took one and then took out six bullets. He pressed the bullets on to the loader and sure enough, they fit perfectly well to the revolver’s cylinder. Once the bullets were loaded, the spring loader immediately detached itself. Mu Yu couldn’t help but give a satisfied nod.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “We’re rearranging the large artifacts in a while. Elder Mu wanted to leave eight Giant Spirit Treasure s.h.i.+ps and turn the rest into sword shuttles. I’ll need your help to move the people around.”
Mu Yu nodded and said, “It’s indeed time to reshuffle. If the large artifacts are no longer as effective, then it would be a waste to have more of them in the field.” Zhao Hai nodded. After exchanging a few more words, Mu Yu helped Zhao Hai make arrangements to move everyone around. Then once everyone was relocated to the eight Giant Spirit Treasure s.h.i.+ps, Zhao Hai took away the remaining ones.
The actions of the Hundred Treasures Realm naturally couldn’t be hidden from the Divergent Realm. The Divergent Realm were now paying close attention to the Hundred Treasures Realm. Seeing only eight Giant Spirit Treasure s.h.i.+ps remaining, they couldn’t help but feel strange.
Just as Zhao Hai received the other large artifacts, a cultivator of the Divergent Realm arrived at the h.e.l.l King’s s.h.i.+p asking for an audience with Mu Yao. Although Mu Yao had Zhao Hai take the other large artifacts besides eight Giant Spirit Treasure s.h.i.+ps, the h.e.l.l King’s s.h.i.+p and the turtle still remained.
Looking at the person from the Divergent Realm, Zhao Hai knew that it was because of his actions. Sure enough, the person asked to see Mu Yao. Then Mu Yao set off to see Elder Prisonheart.
Prisonheart was also paying attention to the Hundred Treasures Realm. So upon seeing Zhao Hai taking the other large artifacts, he couldn’t sit still. Prisonheart immediately had someone call Mu Yao over.
Mu Yao went to Prisonheart’s cave and found that there were plenty of people inside. There were even people who didn’t have a seat and were standing. Although these people wore different clothes, it was clear that each one of them were powerful.
After Mu Yao gave everyone a greeting, Prisonheart looked at him and said, “Mu Yao, why did you suddenly take away some of your large artifacts? Is there something wrong?”
Mu Yao replied, “We discovered some problems as we are going through what happened in the battle. Our large artifacts might not be as effective on the battlefield as before. Therefore, we decided to take some of them away in exchange for more sword shuttles.”
Hearing Mu Yao, the people inside the room couldn’t help but stare. Then the hum of discussion was heard. Prisonheart gave everyone a glance, causing them to be quiet.
Prisonheart looked at Mu Yao and said, “Didn’t you do very well in the last battle? Why did you suddenly think that the large artifacts are no longer as effective?”
Mu Yao replied, “Elder, it’s something that Little Hai brought up. He’s responsible for controlling the large artifacts, so he was able to make an a.n.a.lysis after the battle. If Elder allows, I can let Zhao Hai explain. He should be able to explain it better than me.”
When Prisonheart heard that it was Zhao Hai who brought this up, he couldn’t help but knit his brows even more. He immediately nodded and said, “Call Little Hai over.” Mu Yao complied and took out a jade sword message. Before long, Zhao Hai’s voice was heard outside, “Elder, Zhao Hai is here.”
Prisonheart nodded and said, “Come in.”
Zhao Hai walked inside and then gave everyone a salute. After Zhao Hai gave his greetings, Prisonheart looked at him and said, “Little Hai, I heard that you’re the one who proposed to take away the large artifacts. What’s the reason?”
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said the same words he said to Mu Yao along with the computer simulations. After that, he said, “Because of this, I believe that the Fireweaver’s army formation caused their losses to be lesser than we expected. After several battles with us, the Fireweavers seem to have adapted. Sword shuttles have smaller bodies, more offensive power, and have more flexibility. Therefore, I proposed that it’s better to have more sword shuttles than large artifacts.”
Prisonheart knit his brows and said, “But how will you get so many sword shuttles in a short time?”
Zhao Hai didn’t say anything. Instead, he looked at Mu Yao. Mu Yao smiled and said, “Elder, don’t worry. Little Hai can deal with this matter. He has a divergent ability that allows him to synthesize and decompose materials.”
Hearing Mu Yao, the people inside the room hummed in discussion once more. Meanwhile, Prisonheart had a surprised look on his face, his eyes couldn’t hide its glee. Then he laughed and said, “So Little Hai is also a divergent ability user. Good, fantastic. Then let’s do as Little Hai said.”
ZHao Hai and Mu Yao nodded. Then suddenly, Zhao Hai noticed something. The people of the Divergent Realm were looking at him with an accepting gaze. He didn’t think that they would become like this.
Actually, what Zhao Hai doesn’t know was that people of the Divergent Realm look kindly upon those who have divergent abilities. People with divergent abilities train differently compared to ordinary cultivators. Because of this, people with divergent abilities have always been different. Some cultivators even look at them with judging eyes. It was precisely because of this that divergent ability users differentiated themselves from ordinary cultivators, like another race. So as soon as they heard that Zhao Hai had a divergent ability, he immediately won everyone’s favor. In their opinion, Zhao Hai was one of them.
