Mythical Era: I Evolved Into A Stellar-Level Beast

“In this situation, having a transcendent hand cannon would give me a formidable close combat strength, even if the enemy gets close to me.”

After hearing Freya Louise say that the bullets in the Late Fourth Layer Heaven could bend in flight and were even more powerful, Jack Clark didn’t know what to say.

“…Now that you mention it, it seems like your path is much simpler than our cultivation; you just need to increase the power of your firearms.”

The girl stuck her tongue out: “Of course it’s not that simple. 1 also need to cultivate, and my future combat strength will be tied to my transcendent firearms and technological progress.”

“This path is called the Integration of Science and Martial Arts, and the core idea is to treat firearms as ‘life-bound magical treasures,’ focusing on enhancing technological weapons.”

“Moreover, cultivators need to possess an intangible, non-material True Strength that encompasses all attributes. They cannot have any attributes, which places great limitations on them.”

“The strongest person on this path is a Ninth Heaven Peak power, with terrifying combat strength. He once single-handedly killed three King-level Beasts.”

“However, due to the limitations of technology, he has been stagnant at this realm for many years. There are pros and cons.”

“Aside from that, the official researchers have always been investigating the fusion of transcendent and technological weapons, energy weapons, many of which have powers beyond the range of nuclear weapons.”

“The Simon Empire is further along in this field than we are. In our Eastern Summer, orthodox True Martial cultivation remains the mainstream, and there are more high-end cultivators.”

“Alright, let me show you the trump card my aunt prepared for me.”

With that, Freya Louise grabbed an energy crystal from the table and snapped it onto the sniper rifle, while also switching to a thicker, black gun barrel.” Next, she pushed a black object into the magazine.”

“This is the latest small magnetic-energy weapon developed by my aunt.”

“Replacing electrical energy with crystal energy, using True Strength to activate, and inscriptions to bind, it can achieve an initial velocity of 3,500 meters in an instant.”

“The bullet used is a gold armor-piercing bullet, with a surface covered in a thin membrane that can reduce the hindrance of extraordinary energy. At ten times the speed of sound, its instantaneous penetration power is terrifying.”

As she explained, the crystal on the girl’s sniper rifle lit up, and energy was drawn from it into the gun, activating all the inscriptions.

Hum!

Accompanied by the charging sound, the rifle emitted a hum, and an astonishingly dangerous aura emanated from the oily-black gun barrel.

Biu!

Accompanied by a faint sound, Jack Clark’s terrifying vision only caught a fleeting residual image as an instant later, a black dot appeared on a small hill 1,500 meters away.

One shot, and the dirt on the hillside was pierced straight through, leaving a head-sized hole that went through about 20 meters.

Although it seemed unimpressive at first glance, the terrifying penetrating power made Jack Clark feel that even wearing +10 battle armor wouldn’t be enough to withstand it, and he would be torn apart by a single shot.”

“According to my aunt, this shot could even kill an ordinary Level 5 mutated beast,” said Freya Louise as she put down the sniper cannon.”

“However, its weakness is quite obvious: the wind-up is too long, and the dangerous aura it emits is too strong, making it easy for cultivators and mutated beasts to sense it. It can only be used on stationary targets.”

“And it also burns money.”

After hearing Freya Louise’s explanation, Jack Clark noticed that the energy in the energy crystal of the sniper rifle had been depleted. In other words, that shot just cost 15 contribution points.

Adding the cost of the bullet, of which the value was unknown, he couldn’t help but agree: “It really does burn money, but the power is indeed great.”

Next, the girl introduced some other bullet effects to Jack Clark and let him try shooting the gun as well.

However, he stopped after firing only a dozen shots, because it was too expensive. According to Freya Louise, a real Black Bone Armor-piercing Bullet would cost one thousand points, which was equivalent to one contribution point, and that was just for the money part.

It was then that Jack Clark realized how extravagant Freya Louise usually was.

According to her, under her aunt’s insistence, she had to train for an hour every day, firing hundreds of armor-piercing bullets, incendiary bullets, and high-explosive bullets for practice.

Even though her marksmanship was accurate within a kilometer, she still had to train daily to maintain her feel for the gun. As a result, even though practice bullets were cheaper, she still spent tens of thousands of dollars a day.

Although she also felt that this practice was wasteful, there was no choice, as it was all in pursuit of the intuition that her aunt said could hit any target at the peak of cultivation.

It was similar to Jack Clark’s Heart’s Eye, but also different. Anyway, it was very complex..
