405: Chapter 405 If your cultivation isn't enough, a magical artifact will do the trick.

Xu Ruyu continued, "Right now, it is clearly the Disciples of the Taihu Clan who harbored evil intentions toward the former Sect Master of our Hehuan Sect. After I caught them in the act and killed them, instead of reflecting on their poor discipline, they incited their clansmen, disregarded right and wrong, besieged our mountain gate, and wanted to fight us!"

He spoke every word clearly, and it exploded in everyone's ears like thunder:

"I don't care what the Hehuan Sect was like before, but since I, Xu Ruyu, have become the Sect Master, then from now on, within our Hehuan Sect, not even a blade of grass or a tree, nor even a wisp of a remnant soul of our Hehuan Sect's people, shall be allowed to be bullied by anyone!"

"And now, they actually dare to bully our living people, our former Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect!"

"Tell me, can our Hehuan Sect endure such a thing?!"

"We cannot endure it!!!"

Over three hundred people roared in unison, their voices shaking the clouds!

"Let's go out and screw their mothers!!!"

"Beat them to death!!!"

"Let those bastards know the power of our Hehuan Sect!"

The angry roars were like a volcanic eruption, one wave higher than the next!

Xu Ruyu looked at these impassioned Disciples, and a sense of heroism surged in his heart.

He knew the timing was right.

He raised his hand again, signaling everyone to be quiet.

This time, everyone quickly quieted down, looking at him with burning gazes.

Xu Ruyu smiled slightly, turned around, and walked to the edge of the Martial Arts Arena.

There, a pile of things was covered with a black cloth.

That black cloth was specially made and could block Divine Sense detection, so no one knew what was underneath.

Xu Ruyu lifted the black cloth—

In the sunlight, a pile of metal-glittering objects appeared before everyone's eyes!

There were a dozen strangely shaped "qi-breaking gun"s. The gun bodies were slender, forged from a mixture of black iron and piglets Star-patterned steel, and the surfaces were covered with fine Array Pattern. Those Array Pattern flickered with a faint silver light in the sunlight, exuding a dangerous aura.

There were five or six sets of smooth-lined "Source Energy Armor". Helmets, breastplates, arm guards, leg guards, and combat boots were all there, and each piece was covered with complex Array Pattern. The battle armor was dark silver overall, glowing with a faint light in the sunlight, looking both majestic and mysterious.

There were three large "Thunder Roar Cannon"s. The barrels were thicker than an adult's arm, mounted on heavy tripods. The cannon bodies were densely covered with Array Pattern, exuding a heart-palpitating pressure.

There were five long and thin "piercing sniper rifle"s. The barrels were twice as long as the qi-breaking gun, even slimmer, and also covered with precise Array Pattern.

The guns were also equipped with special scopes, which Xu Ruyu had made by grinding transparent crystals and engraving special Array Pattern.

In the sunlight, these Spiritual Artifacts emitted a faint, cold, and dangerous light that made people afraid to look directly at them!

Everyone was stunned.

What is this?

Some people rubbed their eyes, thinking they had seen wrong.

Some people gasped, their mouths wide open, unable to speak.

Some people stared blankly at the pile of Spiritual Artifacts, their eyes full of disbelief.

"This... this is..."

"qi-breaking gun! That is the Sect Master's qi-breaking gun!"

"Not just that! There's battle armor! And those big cannons!"

"Sect Master... when did the Sect Master refine so many?!"

After a brief silence, exclamations erupted from the crowd!

"My god! So many!"

"Are those all Spiritual Artifacts? Did the Sect Master refine them all?"

"The Sect Master is too amazing!"

"That qi-breaking gun, I remember it can blow away a Golden Core Stage expert with one shot!"

"What is that battle armor? I've never seen the Sect Master wear it before!"

"And those few cannons, they look so scary!"

Everyone was talking at once, their eyes full of shock and longing.

Xu Ruyu looked at these reactions, smiled slightly, and said loudly:

"Disciples who consider themselves to be at the bottom in terms of Cultivation, come out!"

Everyone was stunned, and then some realized—the Sect Master wants to...

From the crowd, twenty or so Disciples walked out with shameful expressions.

These people were all Disciples with the lowest Cultivation in the Hehuan Sect, mostly at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and a few were even only at the Qi Refinement Stage.

Usually, they were often laughed at by their Senior Brothers, and they felt aggrieved themselves.

After Cultivating the "Qi Induction and Micro-Movement Art", they had worked hard, but their talent was limited, and their progress was slower than others.

Now that they were called out by the Sect Master, they thought the Sect Master was going to hold them accountable for their poor practice. They all hung their heads, not daring to look at anyone, their faces full of shame.

Xu Ruyu looked at them, but instead of scolding them, he smiled.

"You guys, come here."

Those Disciples raised their heads, looked at each other, and then walked over cautiously.

Their footsteps were slow, filled with guilt—why hadn't they Cultivated harder? Now they were going to be punished by the Sect Master.

Punishment was a small matter; if the Sect Master didn't let them go out to fight, that would be a huge loss.

This was what they were thinking.

But Xu Ruyu didn't know their thoughts and pointed to the Spiritual Artifacts on the ground, starting to distribute them:

"Zhou Daniu, Li Ergou, Wang Xiaosan, Zhao Xiaosi—you guys, each take a qi-breaking gun."

The Disciples whose names were called were stunned.

Zhou Daniu opened his mouth wide and stammered: "Sect... Sect Master, this... is this for us?"

Xu Ruyu looked at him and smiled: "What? You don't want it?"

"Want! Want! Of course I do!"

Zhou Daniu nodded repeatedly, his eyes lighting up!

He rushed forward and grabbed a qi-breaking gun, his movements fearful that someone else would snatch it from him.

The other Disciples also reacted, trembling with excitement, and rushed to collect a qi-breaking gun each.

Xu Ruyu continued to call names: "Sun Xiaohua, Li Xiaocao, Zhou Xiaolian, Wang Xiaoya—you girls, each take a set of Source Energy Armor."

Those female Disciples were stunned.

Sun Xiaohua pointed at herself, disbelieving: "Sect Master, I... do I have one too?"

Xu Ruyu nodded: "Yes, you girls are responsible for wearing the battle armor and charging in front to attract fire. Are you afraid?"

Sun Xiaohua's eyes turned red, and she shook her head vigorously: "Not afraid! Anything the Sect Master gives, I'm not afraid even if I die!"

The other female Disciples also shook their heads, their eyes full of determination.

Xu Ruyu looked at the other three Disciples: "Zhao Tiezhu, Qian Damao, Sun Ergou—you three, you are responsible for those three support cannons. I will teach you how to use them in a moment!"

The three Disciples nodded repeatedly, their eyes full of excitement.

Zhao Tiezhu rubbed his hands and chuckled: "Sect Master, this thing, can it blow a Golden Core Stage expert to death with one shot?"

Xu Ruyu looked at him and smiled: "It can even blow a Nascent Soul expert to death."

Zhao Tiezhu's eyes widened, and his mouth couldn't close.
