Chapter 136 (2/2)
In the warehouse of Old Mo.
As Old Mo touched the Meteors Crossbow that had been accomplished just now with his fingertips, feeling the coldness on its surface, he was excited.
Beyond his imagination, a crossbow should be able to be inscribed with so many spiritual tattoos and own such delicate structures.
In the past, never before had the empire witnessed a crossbow like the Meteors Crossbow that was at the low grade of Human-rank, but had so complex spiritual tattoos and structures.
Its power must be extraordinary.
Furthermore, the Meteors Crossbow was equipped with 24 Starry-frost Arrows. Although each arrow was only 20 centimeters long, it was as sharp as a sharp shuttle. On the surface of it were lines of stream-like spirally spiritual tattoos, which were shining with a breathtaking cold light.
The combination of the Meteors Crossbow and Starry-frost Arrows wasn’t put into a power test yet, but Old Mo had already speculated how amazing its power would be.
The sole shortcoming might lie in its high cost. It took 800 imperial silver coins to buy those spiritual materials and inks.
Plus the efforts a master of spiritual tattoos had made, its price would become even higher!
“It’s a shame that a normal spiritual tattooist is unable to make one. What’s worse, its cost is rather high. Otherwise, it can be produced massively to arm each army of our empire. By then, our empire’s military power will be upgraded into a higher level.” Old Mo sighed with regrets.
The minute Young Man was told about the power of Meteors Crossbow, she couldn’t help becoming awed. Such a crossbow was literally a destructive weapon!
She looked at Lin Xun curiously. How many secrets did he bear in his mind? How could such random idea he shared turn out earthshaking?
Without much explanation, Lin Xun grabbed the crossbow and turned around to leave. Now that the quarterly assessment would be held tomorrow, he had to prepare himself for it.
“His mentor must be awesome and has obtained the ability of grand-master in spiritual tattoos. No, no, no, his mentor’s ability is even beyond the grand-masters’. At least, that old bastard in Green-deer School can’t create such a unique crossbow!” sighed Old Mo with emotion.
“Where do you think his mentor come from? The four great families of spiritual tattoos or some secluded families?” asked Young Man with curiosity.
She knew that the old bastard mentioned by Old Mo was the one who forced him to come to the Bloodthirsty Camp to avoid some troubles in that year.
That one was a famous grand-master of spiritual tattoos in the empire. Old Mo said that Lin’s mentor was even better than that guy, so Lin’s mentor must be extraordinarily powerful.
“It’s beyond my ability to make a guess. At least, never have I seen someone who can make a Meteors Crossbow and remold the spiritual furnace of Ziying Battleship before.”
Old Mo pondered with a furrowed brow. But after a long while, he couldn’t figure out who also boasted such an ability.
“I’ll come to visit Chief Shu.”
Suddenly, Young Man thought of something and then left.
“What do you want to do?” asked Old Mo with surprise.
“I will offer to bet with him.”
As her voice arose, her slender and charming figure had disappeared outside the warehouse.
…
In the central tent of the Bloodthirsty Camp.
The quarterly assessment would kick off tomorrow, so the drillmasters of 20 camps and some powerful people in the camp were all summoned there.
Being seated in the center, Shu Sanqi looked around with his sharp eyes, saying, “Sijiu, have you finished selecting Barbarian Soldiers?”
A stalwart middle-aged man of great stature stood up and said in a low and muffled voice, “They have just been caught from the front, and I can make sure that they are all first-level Barbarian Soliders.”
Shu Sanqi said with a nod, “In case of any accidents, we should be embattled to protect each trainee from being killed by the Barbarian Soldiers in the quarterly assessment tomorrow.”
The others nodded in unison.
Shu pondered for a while, and then asked out of the blue, “In your views, who will be the first one to kill a Barbarian Soldier among 600 trainees from 20 camps?”
Those words plunged the people present into contemplation.
“It must be Bai Lingshi from our Camp 7, of course,” said a bearded man without hesitation, and many of the others nodded their agreement.
Bai Lingshi was endowed with the talent of “Starshine Eternal”, and was the most outstanding girl among the trainees in the Bloodthirsty Camp.
However, some people didn’t agree with him.
“Bai Lingshi isn’t bad, but Zhao Yin from our Camp 15 is better than her in terms of the antipersonnel force.”
“Zhao Yin? Humph, his Purple Sun is really powerful, but Zhangsun Heng from our Camp 22 is as strong as him at least!”
As the people started to talk, the room was in an uproar. Since nobody wanted to admit that their trainees were less powerful than others, the arguments among them made their faces crimson with anger. How would the trainees feel if they witnessed their strict drillmasters bicker with each other like the shrews shouting in the street?
