Chapter 203: Super Electromagnetic Gun, Instant Defeat!
“Super Electromagnetic Gun!?”
“How is it possible? I thought that kid had just become a warlord?”
“Are you kidding me? A new warlord using a Super Electromagnetic Gun?!”
More than one person recognized the Super Electromagnetic Gun. Upon seeing Lin Yao’s actions, several people stood up instantly, their faces full of horror.
They could not believe that the Super Electromagnetic Gun that only genius silver warlords were capable of using was in Lin Yao’s hands. This was a shocking sight.
In this regard, Lin Yao felt that it was normal. Ordinary geniuses indeed needed to become silver warlords to be eligible to use this move.
However, Lin Yao was very suited to this move. Lin Yao’s Heavenly Thunder had reached LV3 and was nearly at LV4. He had a strong foundation for using the Super Electromagnetic Gun. Heavenly Thunder Manipulation was stronger than the control of ordinary thunder and lightning. To some people, Heavenly Thunder LV4 was equivalent to the control of thunder and lightning at LV5.
Heavenly Thunder Manipulation was his foundation. The second level of the gene lock—thinking speed acceleration—enabled Lin Yao to have a super-arithmetic ability and control. This had become the key to Lin Yao’s control of the Super Electromagnetic Gun. The electromagnetic induction that he went through when his mental strength exceeded 100 acted as his auxiliary power. These three abilities were the reason Lin Yao could use the Super Electromagnetic Gun even though he was only a martial artist.
Of course, there was a limitation because he used it despite his rank. He could only use it when his thinking speed accelerated and his arithmetic ability increased.
‘No, accelerated thinking has become my most important auxiliary ability. If I want to unleash a vital energy cyclone in one go or use other powerful tricks, I need accelerated thinking to support me.
‘The second level of the gene lock might not be able to provide strong combat power, but it is the best auxiliary ability!’
In the process of releasing the Super Electromagnetic Gun, Lin Yao still had extra time and energy to think about other things, which showed that Lin Yao’s arithmetic ability was very powerful, especially when his thinking speed was accelerated.
While he had it easy, the young man with the flying daggers was horrified. While electric current surrounded Lin Yao, he felt suffocated, as he could sense the threat and imminent danger. What made him feel even more horrified was that as the token dropped, he felt even more terrified and fearful.
“No!!!”
He was frightened to the extreme, and while the danger was approaching, he tried his best to gather the flying daggers into a straight line, aiming at the place where Lin Yao’s arm was pointing.
He was trying to save himself, but it was useless.
When the token dropped onto Lin Yao’s arm, the magnetic field that he had condensed also reached its limit.
Without any hesitation, Lin Yao flicked his fingers slightly, and a loud boom came from him. An object broke through the sound barrier at supersonic speed and detonated a sonic boom cloud.
The blasting wind blew against Lin Yao’s clothes and hair, but no one paid attention to this. Everyone’s attention was on the orange light in the arena.
Using the ampere force generated by the electromagnetic field as the propelling force, the muzzle velocity of the Electromagnetic Gun detonated the sonic boom cloud, lasing ahead at a faster speed than a bullet.
Because of the high speed, the token started to burn, as there was friction with the air, and its flight path had also turned into an orange light due to its burning flames and high speed.
The Super Electromagnetic Gun was not only gorgeous and amazing when it was launched. It was also very powerful.
The small token had been turned into the most terrifying weapon after gaining speed. Everything along the way was destroyed by the kinetic energy created by the token at this extreme speed.
All the 13 flying daggers controlled by the flying dagger young man were shot down without even holding on for a second. The young man did not have time to react, and the token that contained a lot of kinetic energy hit him.
Boom!
Flesh and blood could not stop the attacks launched by the Electromagnetic Gun. If the victim was caught unaware, there would be a huge gaping hole in their body.
Fortunately, the referee Lin Yao had just warned reacted at the last moment, and a protective shield appeared on the young man’s body.
However, although the shield was there to protect him, the powerful kinetic energy carried by the projectile still knocked the young man far away.
Ss…
It was the referee who was gasping, as he was slightly terrified. If Lin Yao had not warned him, he would not have released the shield in time. The speed of the projectile fired by the Super Electromagnetic Gun was too fast.
While he was still taken aback by the scene, Lin Yao who was in the arena, shook his head.
“It’s slightly weak.”
The referee opened his mouth upon hearing his remark, not knowing what to say. As for the people from the Flowery Sect, all of them were glaring at Lin Yao.
“Scoundrel!”
“We can’t allow him to be so arrogant.”
“Lǚ Yang, make the necessary arrangements. We have to defeat him tomorrow!”
These people thought that Lin Yao was mocking the Flowery Sect and they all felt hostility for Lin Yao, but they had misunderstood him. Lin Yao had not been referring to his opponent but to the power of the electromagnetic railgun when he’d said that it was slightly weak.
Although he had defeated the young man with the flying daggers with one blow, the Super Electromagnetic Gun projectile had no effect on the shield, and Lin Yao was very dissatisfied with it.
He was not overly disappointed, though. The shot just now had been merely a trial. He had not exerted all his strength.
‘Although it is nice to use a token as a projectile, it is not the most suitable projectile. The acceleration caused by the electromagnetic railgun is too fast, and the token will rub against the air in flight and catch fire. Therefore, the use of tokens as projectiles only spans a distance of 50 meters. The orange light was produced by the burning token.
‘The electromagnetic railgun has its dedicated projectiles. Both a solid conductor armature projectile and a hybrid projectile can be launched up to 100 kilometers away without being deformed. The latter can also explode when it hits an enemy. Plus, the power of the electromagnetic railgun is also related to the electric current and the length of the magnetic orbit. I didn’t exert all my force today. If I use 500 vital energy seeds in my body and summon thunder and lightning to create a magnetic field, using it to accelerate or extend the electromagnetic orbit, I can even burst a tank.’
This battle could only be considered a master hand’s first small display. Lin Yao was a little emotional when he thought of the possibility that the Super Electromagnetic Gun could aim hundreds of miles away in the future.
Due to his excitement, Lin Yao looked at the five arenas next to him, eager to take on the challenge.
It felt so good to shoot everything down with a Super Electromagnetic Gun. At present, he was like a child with a new toy, always wanting to shoot something.
He might be excited, but the people next to him were all shivering. Although the orange light had been fleeting, they had felt its speed and power. No ordinary people could react and resist in time.
With Lin Yao, who had the Super Electromagnetic Gun, as their opponent, the other five people felt as if they were facing a strong man with a gun empty-handed.
In fact, normally, the Super Electromagnetic Gun might be powerful, but it would not result in a huge gap compared to others.
After all, most of the time, people who could master the Super Electromagnetic Gun were at the silver warlord level, and so were their opponents. People at this level were more powerful. As far as defense, inducement, and evasion were concerned, there were ways to deal with the attacks of the Super Electromagnetic Gun.
However, Lin Yao had cheated. He was able to use the Super Electromagnetic Gun as a beginner warlord, so his opponents had no way to resist his attacks.
The remaining five gatekeepers could not help but feel a little nervous under Lin Yao’s gaze.
As they were feeling anxious, a voice rang out from the building of the Flowery Sect.
“Well, Mr. Lin Yao, you have already won. If you want to fight, wait until tomorrow. By then, someone will go up against you.”
“I hope my opponent is stronger. I want to have fun.”
“As you wish.”
Lin Yao had already fallen out with the Flowery Sect, and they were targeting each other. They did not yell at each other like shrews, as it would not have any effect. If they could make the opponent suffer a crushing defeat in the next two days of the competition, that would be considered a real blow.
The conversation ended, and the unknown elders inside invited Lin Yao to go in and rest.
However, Lin Yao rejected the invitation right away.
“The competition won’t start until tomorrow. I have something to do. Goodbye.”
After turning from a gatekeeper to a challenger, Lin Yao was ready to leave now that he was qualified to enter the competition.
Qin Ya walked alongside him.
“Come to my place. I have a room ready for you.”
“No, there are too many people with me, so it will be inconvenient. This is the address where I’m staying now. If you want to find me, come to this place.”
Qin Ya paused for a moment before taking the paper. When she took the note, Lin Yao added another comment.
“I still have someone to visit. Please carry on with your work.”
“Okay, if there’s anything you need, you can look for me.”
After a short exchange, Lin Yao and Qin Ya went their separate ways with their people.
“Ah Yao, must we do this? We and Sister Qin Ya…”
“We are still friends with her. We are close partners, but she has her own business, and it is not a good thing to force her to come with us.”
After comforting the depressed Qin Xue, Lin Yao did not return home. Instead, he took a taxi to the University of Monster Science and Technology.
He did have something to do and someone to visit. Lin Yao’s physical development relied mainly on Project Thunder God, which required equipment and electricity. Therefore, when he had come to this city, Professor Li, who had been leading his physical development, had given him an address, telling him to go to this place in Shanghai for physical development.
Lin Yao trusted Professor Li completely, so he went there right away. While he was on the way to college, things were not peaceful in the Flowery Sect.
Lin Yao, who was unwilling to bear any grievance, might be feeling good after the release of power, but the Flowery Sect was thoroughly shamed.
The elders in the VIP building felt that people in other dojos had watched them make a fool of themselves.
They were right. Those people were indeed laughing at them now.
After Lin Yao’s departure, some people were angry at him, while some were dissatisfied with Lǚ Yang. After all, he had started everything.
Many elders from the centrist faction looked at Lǚ Yang harshly, and the disciples below were dissatisfied as well, so he could not help but clench his fists tightly.
He might be arrogant and used to the submissive attitude of other disciples, but he was not foolish. In a very short time, he figured out a way to deal with it.
“Elders, this is just as good. After what happened, the Flowery Sect will definitely garner more attention, and more people will notice us.”
“What happened will affect our reputation. We can’t afford such hype!”
They could still tell whether this was positive or negative hype.
“This is really bad for our reputation, but it is only temporary. Tomorrow, I will defeat him in my strongest form. This way, the twists and turns of the celebrations will not only attract the attention of ordinary people but also display the might of our disciples.”
“This is a good method, but will this give other people the impression that we are oppressing geniuses? This is not beneficial for our talent recruitment drive. It is best to reconcile with Lin Yao. After all, it is better to make friends than enemies.”
Lǚ Yang clenched his fists upon hearing Jiang Tianyou’s words. However, he quickly smiled and said, “That’s right, we should reconcile, but we will do that after our victory… This is not a personal grievance. The elders have also seen what happened just now and know that this person is too arrogant. If we don’t defeat him, even if we reconcile, he might be greedy and make many requests.
“After our victory, I will explain that I was too upset back then to see that outsiders were injured during the celebrations and I spoke harshly to him. I will also apologize to Student Lin Yao and ask for his forgiveness. I think he will forgive me. If he doesn’t…”
“If he doesn’t forgive you, that will be because he is petty-minded… No, he has always been small-minded. The few friends who came to the stage merely said a few words, and he was so cruel to them. He does not have a good personality. This is not good. Xiao Yang was also worried for the friends who were there for the competition, which is why he berated Lin Yao. We can promote this on the Internet. One of them is petty-minded and cruel, while the other is tolerant and magnanimous. The masses will speak up for us.
“Let’s do it this way.”
The higher management of the Flowery Sect added on to Lǚ Yang’s idea and came up with countermeasures.
The real situation was, of course, not like Lǚ Yang had said. He was also at fault, but he had a powerful background in the Flowery Sect, and the other elders were willing to be lenient on account of his elder. This was also why other disciples dared not say anything even though they were upset with him, which was also why he’d ended up with such an arrogant temperament.
At the same time, the elders were also confident about controlling public opinion on the Internet.
However, they had forgotten one thing while coming up with tactics to deal with the situation. The prerequisite for being able to deal with this in such a manner was that Lǚ Yang would defeat Lin Yao completely. They could only pretend to be gracious if they won. If they lost, they would be a complete joke.
However, no one had any doubts about Lǚ Yang’s victory, including Jiang Tianyou. Lin Yao might be powerful, but he was just a beginner warlord. In their opinion, Lǚ Yang, who was a silver warlord, was stronger.
It was not easy to fight beyond one’s rank, especially when both parties were geniuses.
However, would things really go as they expected?
