119: Two-star weapon refiner

Qi Da was a little excited, but still asked with some doubt, "The bullets in here are below the barrel. If the one above is fired, and the ones below aren't aligned, wouldn't they explode inside the barrel?"

Long Yuan explained, "No, there's a small device inside. After the first bullet is fired, the next one automatically moves up. It won't explode on its own!"

"Oh?! What if this small device malfunctions?" Qi Da pressed.

"You don't need to worry about that either. If it malfunctions, and the bullet doesn't move up, then the firing pin won't touch the bullet, and naturally, it won't be activated."

"That makes sense! It seems your design is really good!" Qi Da praised sincerely.

"Thank you, Senior!"

"Haha, but with such small Profound Weapon bullets, how much power can they have? What's your target?" Qi Da asked.

"It can kill a second-order Profound Beast!" Long Yuan said casually. He was a bit unsure himself now, because these Artifact Refining Materials were somewhat different from what was written in the Treasure Pavilion's data. Plus, this was his first complete work, so its power might differ from what he imagined, but the exact situation would definitely need to be verified through testing.

"What? Kill a second-order Profound Beast?!" He Sui shrieked from the side, her eyes wide.

"Is there a problem?" Long Yuan asked.

"Problem? Of course there's a problem! This little toy can kill a second-order Profound Beast?! Don't boast so much you make people die laughing! My grandfather and Grandfather Da are both here; be careful not to make them laugh their teeth out!" He Sui said playfully.

Long Yuan looked at the suspicious glances on He Hao and Qi Da's faces and asked, "Are there any second-order Profound Beasts here?"

"Of course there are! However, those are for testing High Grade Profound Weapons, and Artifact Refiners who participate in the test have to pay themselves! One second-order Profound Beast costs one superior xuan stone!" He Sui said loudly.

Without another word, Long Yuan directly pulled out a superior xuan stone from his pocket and handed it to He Sui, saying, "Release the second-order Profound Beast!"

"Ah, this?!" He Sui held the superior xuan stone, momentarily stunned.

He Hao said from the side, "Xiao Sui, then release that second-order Early Phase Green Wind Wolf. Whether he kills it or not, he can take it with him afterward."

"Okay!" He Sui replied, then ran to the side to operate the mechanism.

After a while, the door that held the second-order Green Wind Wolf slowly opened. Immediately, a wolf howl echoed from inside, and a pungent smell quickly spread out...

He Hao and Qi Da stood guard, while He Sui's pretty face changed slightly, and she flashed behind He Hao.

At this moment, a beastly shadow shot out from the room like lightning, pouncing towards the four at an extremely fast speed!

It was indeed a second-order Green Wind Wolf!!!

The Green Wind Wolf's figure was incredibly swift, constantly changing positions in the air. Perhaps it understood very well that only by going all out and taking down these four humans in front of it would it have a chance to escape. So, it even used its innate beast skill, Green Wind Shadow!

A Profound Beast with an innate beast skill actually has half a level to one level higher in strength than others of the same Realm. In other words, although this Green Wind Wolf's Realm was only Warrior Stage - Early Phase, its actual combat power was already comparable to a second-order Profound Beast in the Middle Stage to Late Stage, and compared to humans, it could be another half level higher, equivalent to a Martial Artist in the Late Stage or even a Martial Master in the Early Phase!

At this moment, its whole body seemed to transform into a gust of green wind, twisting and turning in the air, frantically attacking the four people!!!

He Hao and Qi Da's expressions were quite solemn, their bodies tensed. They almost couldn't help but want to act preemptively, as they both could see that this Green Wind Wolf was almost insane in its desire for freedom. It had likely used all its trump cards, and anything was possible in such a state...

"Bang!!!"

A crisp sound rang out at the opportune moment, followed by a sharp wail in the air. The Green Wind Wolf slid a distance through the air before falling heavily with a "thud" not far in front of the four!

The wind stopped...

"Ah, this?!" He Hao and the other two looked in shock at the green wolf on the ground...

It thrashed and struggled on the ground, but finally, it gradually stopped moving, completely still!

"Grandfather, he's not playing dead, is he?" He Sui asked with some suspicion.

He Hao observed carefully for a moment and said, "No, he's really dead!!!"

"Impossible!!! Just one shot!!!" He Sui shrieked, her eyes wide.

He Hao walked over, circling the Green Wind Wolf. Upon closer inspection, he finally found a small hole in the wolf's head, from which a small stream of wolf blood continuously flowed. Near the small hole, there were also some blood droplets, clearly splattered when the Green Wind Wolf was hit!

It must be said, his marksmanship was truly excellent!

One must know how swift the Green Wind Wolf's Green Wind Shadow was, constantly shifting positions in the air. Yet, Long Yuan was able to deliver a headshot in that fleeting moment, which made He Hao shiver with fear, his hairs standing on end. His gaze towards Long Yuan was somewhat off...

Moreover, the power of this shot was immense, capable of killing a second-order Green Wind Wolf with an innate beast skill without even giving it a chance to retaliate before death. It was evident that it had exploded right inside the Green Wind Wolf's brain, causing it to completely lose all control in that instant!

He Hao secretly trembled all over, looking at Long Yuan holding the gun, his voice slightly trembling as he said, "Alright! Long Yuan, quickly unload all the bullets!"

"Senior, no more testing needed? Isn't there still a target over there?" Long Yuan asked curiously.

"No need! Your work is very good, excellent! With my authority, I can give you the highest rating of a Two-Star Weapon Refiner! However, in my estimation, if it were evaluated at a higher-level Refiners Guild, it should be rated even higher!!!" He Hao said quickly.

"Then thank you, Senior!" Long Yuan said with a smile, ejecting the magazine.

He Hao saw this and finally breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Will your work be acquired by our guild? The highest acquisition price I can offer is five superior xuan stones!"

"Five superior xuan stones?!" He Sui shrieked from the side, covering her mouth with her delicate hand, her face full of disbelief. She thought about how difficult it was for her to secretly get a thousand low-grade xuan stone from Long Yuan, only to find out that her grandfather was going to reward Long Yuan with five superior xuan stones. Comparing people really made one furious!

Unexpectedly, Long Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't want to sell this gun for now. After all, this is my test piece, and I want to keep it as a memento."

"You won't sell it even for five superior xuan stones?!" He Sui said incredulously.

"No, I won't!" Long Yuan said firmly.

"Ah, it's fine, it's fine! An entry test product indeed holds extremely important significance for an Artifact Refiner. It's perfectly normal for Long Yuan to want to keep it as a memento. I was just asking casually anyway." He Hao waved his hand and said.

"Thank you for your understanding, Senior!"
