142: Chapter 142 My Lord, Times Have Changed

Soon, one class ended, and the students began chatting, instantly filling the classroom with noise.

Since everyone was a cultivator, their eyesight and hearing were excellent. Naturally, the classroom was extremely spacious, capable of accommodating over a thousand people.

"Brother Chi, it seems the class monitor selection is decided by voting. I think you should go greet your classmates."

Chi Anlin shook his head. If the class monitor was chosen by voting rather than by strength, then the position certainly wouldn't carry much weight.

Soon, the bell rang again, and the White Spirit King's figure appeared on the podium as if teleporting.

"Alright, students, it's time to select the class monitors. The monitor represents the team leader position for missions. There will be point competitions between classes, so everyone should vote carefully for your monitor."

"Next, everyone can check their wristbands and select the person to vote for on the band."

As soon as the White Spirit King finished speaking, a huge holographic projection appeared on the podium.

The students all activated their projections, instantly giving the entire classroom a somewhat punk vibe.

The candidate list for Class One's monitor had two names: the first was Chi Anlin, and the second was Yuan Shi, an earth-attribute Qi Cultivator.

The candidates for Class Two's monitor were Ji Hongfei and Tu Zhi.

The candidates for Class Three's monitor were Mo Yu and Nangong Shilan.

The candidates for Class Four's monitor were Dan Yunyao, Chen Yue, and You Xue.

Soon, the students began casting their votes on their wristbands.

Chi Anlin and Ji Hongfei's scores were very high, crushing the other monitor candidates. Nangong Shilan's vote count was three votes less than Mo Yu's, and Dan Yunyao's votes only exceeded Chen Yue's by a few.

All four War Bodies became class monitors. Nangong Shilan suddenly stood up, summoned her tamed beast, and left the classroom.

On the podium, the White Spirit King shook his head helplessly, then announced the monitor list before leaving.

The classroom instantly erupted into chaos. Everyone packed up their things, preparing to leave.

Chi Anlin looked thoughtfully at Mo Yu, who explained, "Nangong Shilan is a direct descendant of the Nangong clan. Among the four great families, the Nangong family is the only one in this generation without a War Body."

"So Nangong Shilan is under a lot of pressure and has a very competitive nature, always comparing herself to the few of us."

Mo Yu shrugged. "To help Nangong Shilan get the monitor position, Nangong Yuxi also contacted some people."

Although Mo Yu himself didn't really want to compete, being a War Body meant many people subconsciously voted for him anyway.

Moreover, the monitor represents the team leader, which also concerns everyone's own interests, so of course they would choose the strongest.

Mo Yu walked out alongside Chi Anlin and said, "Come on, Brother Chi, let's go check on Nangong Shilan."

Mo Yu summoned his mount and flew with Chi Anlin towards Nangong Shilan's villa area.

This area was where Earth Rank students lived. It wasn't as large as the courtyard houses. Soon, Chi Anlin saw Nangong Shilan.

At this moment, Nangong Shilan's eyes were still red. Seeing Mo Yu arrive, she quickly turned her back, preparing to enter the house.

"Is something bothering you, Shilan? Why not tell your monitor about it?"

Hearing this, Chi Anlin was dumbfounded. Wasn't this just adding fuel to the fire?

Sure enough, upon hearing Mo Yu's words, Nangong Shilan exploded. "Mo Yu, don't you get cocky just because you got lucky!"

"This is also the monitor's good intention..."

Thus, Chi Anlin and Mo Yu were kicked out.

————————

"That girl is quite tsundere. I can't just give her the monitor position, so it's better to provoke her a bit to help her pull herself together," Mo Yu said somewhat flippantly, a blade of grass in his mouth.

Chi Anlin nodded. Dealing with girls was still troublesome. For example, that headache-inducing, violent older sister of his—Chi Anlin had breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her leave for university.

The two returned to the Heavenly Rank residential area. Mo Yu bid farewell to Chi Anlin, as he needed to go study that King Rank cultivation technique.

Back in his courtyard, Chi Anlin found the Ice Spirit Gryphon.

When entering the Blood Flame Secret Realm, he had instructed the Ice Spirit Gryphon to fly back to the Lesser Beast Realm on its own and bring back a Transport Ant Soldier.

Inside this Transport Ant Soldier were one hundred First Realm, Fifth Stage Tiger Armor Ant Soldiers, along with the Ice Soul Battle Spirit and the peashooter.

Knowing that the Fusion process wouldn't be detectable by anyone below Ancient Rank, Chi Anlin decided that, with the double insurance of the breath concealing ring, he could perform the synthesis right in his courtyard house.

Moreover, the Phoenix Fire Lord had specifically arranged for a formation to be set up to prevent anyone from spying on or disturbing Chi Anlin's cultivation.

Entering the room, Chi Anlin took out the peashooter.

Although he had originally planned to synthesize it with a machine gun, Chi Anlin now thought of a better synthesis method.

First, Chi Anlin took out an RG-60TB grenade, also known as a "thermobaric grenade." It contained a fuel-air explosive mixture that could mix with oxygen in the air to produce a secondary explosion, making it extremely powerful.

Second, Chi Anlin took out a Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle. This sniper rifle was nicknamed the "cannon" and could destroy parked aircraft and trucks from long range.

Finally, Chi Anlin took out a Concealing Wristband. This item was exchanged at the school and was a peak Spirit Rank treasure.

Synthesizing the three items one by one with the peashooter, a slight smile curled at the corner of Chi Anlin's mouth.

The final move of the sword technique: Boss, times have changed.

Spending two Origin Points, Chi Anlin also fused the final form with the wristband.

After forcibly accelerating the process using blood energy, Chi Anlin obtained a brand new, old sixth-level weapon.

[Name]: Blazing Impact Cannon Shooter

[Attribute]: Metal, Fire

[Quality]: High-Grade Spirit Rank

[Level]: First Realm, Fifth Stage

[Skills]:

Times Have Changed: High-Grade Spirit Rank. Can add spirit stones as ammunition to fire, exploding upon penetrating enemies.

Concealment: Mid-Grade Spirit Rank. Maintains wristband form during non-combat time, concealing aura fluctuations.

A wristband with flame patterns appeared. Chi Anlin put it on his wrist and then gave it a light tap.

Instantly, the wristband transformed like mecha, revealing a gun barrel the size of a human head.

For a moment, Chi Anlin looked as if he had equipped a firearm arm, appearing extremely cool.

Then, Chi Anlin headed to the backyard. The terrain there was open, and as a place for keeping demon beasts, the ground was very sturdy.

Chi Anlin loaded a second-grade spirit stone into the wristband beast, then aimed at the open ground and fired a shot.

"Bang!"

A huge burst of flame erupted from the gun barrel. Instantly, the spirit stone transformed into a shockwave two meters in diameter, producing an explosion-like sound.

"Boom!!" Gravel and sand flew. A hemispherical crater appeared in the ground. Chi Anlin swallowed hard. This attack power was even comparable to a full-force strike from a low-stage Second Realm cultivator.

After firing this shot, the wristband beast's barrel was slightly warm. Chi Anlin estimated that, given the wristband beast's endurance, it could probably only fire four shots.

That was enough. The power of this thing was still a bit terrifying.

Beyond seven feet, the gun is fast. Within seven feet, the gun is both accurate and fast!
