BXBX NOVEL Chapter 27 - We must recruit him into our school!
“Why did the Fire Dragon King kick the bucket?”
“Was it 2 seconds, or maybe 3 seconds?”
“What’s going on?”
The members of the Transcendent Squad were utterly bewildered. This was the Fire Dragon King, boasting over 1 million hit points! Despite their experience and the increased number of participants this time, it hadn’t felt like a challenging encounter. But now, it was vanquished by Gao Feng alone! The rest of the team members had zero output! One million HP depleted in three seconds? This was beyond their comprehension!
“Mad dog, you’re too fierce!”
“How the heck did you pull that off?” Meng Ao couldn’t help but inquire.
“Everyone, it’s not that I don’t want to spill the beans, but it involves confidentiality regulations,” Gao Feng replied with a few carefully chosen words. “I can only say that luck was on my side, and that’s how it happened.”
Wang Long, aware of his junior brother’s cheeky nature, maintained a calm expression, though there might be joy hidden within. Indeed, Gao Feng’s heart was in turmoil at this moment. The panel’s prompt had revealed everything to him.
[Your weapon, Ashes of Soul, triggers the effect of [Soul Slaying], causing 300,000 points of damage!] [Your weapon, Ashes of Soul, triggers the effect of [Soul Slaying], causing 300,000 points of damage!]Within four seconds, he fired 240 shots. However, in the second, after firing 120 shots, the Ashes of Soul’s effect was triggered four times, leading to the Fire Dragon King’s demise with 1 million HP! He had anticipated a lengthier wait for the original 3% probability to kick in, but luck was on his side, triggering it four times within 120 shots.
“Alright, we won’t press you further,” Meng Ao nodded, suppressing his astonishment. “Do you want to continue the mission?”
“Everyone is present,” Gao Feng smiled. “Let’s tidy up the mobs outside. You guys protect, and I’ll take the shots.”
“Got it.”
…
After half an hour, Gao Feng, Wang Long, Meng Ao, and the others exited the dungeon, stepping out of the blue vortex. They quickly bid farewell to Meng Ao and company, proceeding to a temporary conference room requested by Wang Long and Gao Feng. As soon as they entered, tension enveloped their expressions.
“Spill it, what went down?” Wang Long grabbed Gao Feng’s shoulder and shook him vigorously.
“Easy there, brother! You’re gonna shake me apart!” Gao Feng laughed.
“The outcome is surprising. This weapon still packs a punch against an 80th-level Lord Boss. The Soul Slaying effect was triggered four times within 120 shots! The 3% probability practically feels like a certainty! It’s still a 30% HP reduction, but the damage I dealt is 300,000! The level 80 boss test can’t determine the upper limit of this weapon! At least under magic defense, there’s no diminishing effect or weakening!” Wang Long clenched his fists, expressing his inner excitement.
“Well done!” Gao Feng exclaimed enthusiastically.
“Brother, let’s report to the higher-ups. How about organizing a trip to Qingtian Dungeon?”
Wang Long’s excitement tempered upon hearing about the Sky Behemoth dungeon.
“Sky Island is a pure magic dungeon, and the sample test data is too limited. The Fire Dragon King is a level 80 magic lord, so we can’t generalize it. It’s also incomparable with the Sky Behemoth. Mechanically, it’s much more challenging. However… I’ll include suggestions in the report.”
Wang Long rubbed his face and continued, “Let’s test a few more times first so that the higher-ups can see the potential of this weapon. If the data is comprehensive, the chances of approval for entering the Sky Behemoth operation will be higher.”
Gao Feng nodded in agreement. Opening the Sky Behemoth dungeon wouldn’t be a walk in the park. A single mistake could prove fatal. High-end transcendent combat power wasn’t easily cultivated, and without a high degree of certainty, action was impossible. It wasn’t just about output. The configuration of the entire team needed meticulous planning, not out of fear of sacrifice but to avoid unnecessary losses. After all, these dungeons could be revisited.
“If people keep dying every time, who can endure it?”
“I get it. Let’s attempt a few more tests.”
“Oh, by the way, senior brother, I haven’t inquired about the enchanting master behind this gun.”
Gao Feng was well aware. The Ashes of the Soul alone couldn’t handle such a high-level dungeon. Its strength lay in its special effects—the result of the enchanter’s work. Rushing to Cangshan, he hadn’t even asked which enchanter crafted it.
“It’s a high school student from Anyang City. The information is right here. Read it for yourself.”
Wang Long handed over the information, leaving Gao Feng stunned.
“Brother, are you kidding me? Are you saying a junior enchanter made this?”
“Are you pulling my leg?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wang Long helplessly replied, “I know it’s hard to believe, but you’ll understand after reading the information. This file has the general’s stamp. If you want to read it, take a look quickly. I suppose the level of secrecy will have to be raised when the actual combat results are submitted. You may not even have the right to check the details in the future. At most, I know some brief information that can be released to the public.”
Gao Feng quickly perused the information. Ten minutes later, he looked up blankly, eyes filled with shock.
“What kind of god-level talent is this? It’s incredible! Even world-renowned enchanting masters might not have such a strong talent, right?”
Wang Long sighed, “That’s correct. It’s because of this that the country has decided to send this kid to a transcendence academy for further studies. Oh, if only he could stay with Chu Longjun. I’d confess to him and give him whatever he wants. Sadly, I can’t keep a genius who is too monstrous.”
Wang Long appeared melancholy. Even though he had secured opportunities and equipment from Zhao Xing, the higher-ups had included Zhao Xing’s name on the Transcendent Special Recruitment list. There was only one month left until the special recruitment work of Transcendent Academy would commence.
For a month, he didn’t know how many pieces of equipment Zhao Xing could produce. While he didn’t expect king-grade equipment, even a batch of purple equipment would elevate his special company to a higher level.
Gao Feng’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.
“Brother, you can’t keep people, but I can! The higher-ups have appointed me for the special recruiting job at the Military Academy this year. I’m one of the people in charge!”
Wang Long chuckled and said, “I know. Why do you think I didn’t invite anyone else to test this piece of equipment but you? You’re not the only mechanic above level 60.”
Gao Feng gave a thumbs up. “Brother, you really don’t forget your roots. I will definitely appreciate your alma mater in the future! This time, I’ll try to get Zhao Xing to come to our First Military Academy for the special recruitment work of the Transcendent Academy.”
Wang Long said, “Then you need to put in more thought and effort. The higher-ups won’t favor any Transcendental Institute, and they’ll probably get relevant news. Even if you don’t know the whole picture, it’s enough for the Transcendent Academy to take the lead until you get a little word of it. Whether you can win him over depends on your ability.”
Gao Feng nodded, “At least I have the upper hand. Brother, didn’t you say you have a cooperation order with him? Please tell him some kind words about me, please.”
Wang Long squinted and said, “Oh, who just wanted to give me a hard time behind my back, blaming me for saying your nickname. Now you’re begging me, huh?”
Gao Feng grinned. “Senior brother, you can call me whatever you want. It’s just a bit of history, do as you please. How about I give you a few words on the spot?”
“Get lost,” Wang Long couldn’t help being speechless. “Why does a mechanic’s skin have to be thicker than city walls?”
“There’s nothing I can do if it’s not thick,” Gao Feng said. “You know my profession burns the most money. If you’re still thin-skinned, you won’t get anything.”
“Okay, I can’t interfere in this matter. You figure it out yourself,” Wang Long waved his hands. “I can only say that if you want to recruit people, you have to put in more thought. You now know more information than others. When the actual combat results are submitted, the level of secrecy will increase. Okay, you can write the summary. I’ll type the report, and let’s get to work!”
