Chapter 272: Chapter 272: When the Sword Saint Took Up the Sniper Rifle

"So now, the only problem left is how to project the Inner Qi outward," Liuli Hong mumbled quietly after sitting down.

Inner Qi compression could be achieved through the Locking Eight Gates, and separating the compressed Inner Qi from one’s own could also be done with the Locking Eight Gates.

But how could the compressed Inner Qi be projected?

Could it be related to personal talent?

Keep in mind, Lu Xiao’s speed of absorbing and releasing Inner Qi is many times that of theirs; is it because he can release Inner Qi quickly that he can project it?

If that’s the case, then it’s still a fruitless effort, an insurmountable chasm remains.

"Team leader, you try it first," Lu Xiao suggested after some thought.

Liuli Hong immediately stood up and began to try.

Soon, a burst of Inner Qi erupted from Liuli Hong’s palm.

The strength of the Inner Qi wasn’t high, but the distance was impressive; it crossed over the fish pond and slammed into the riverbank on the other side.

The riverbank was blasted open, and mud and stones flew everywhere.

"It’s completely incomparable to yours."

"I’m Fourth Rank, but the damage I dealt could at most be considered Second Order; it’s basically useless," Liuli Hong shook his head.

Keep in mind, his opponents were also Fourth Rank; a Second Order ranged attack was practically useless against a Fourth-stage Mutant.

"You can’t project it if you compress it further?" Lu Xiao asked.

"Correct, I guess it’s still related to talent, or to be precise, to meridian expansion," Liuli Hong nodded.

He knew about Lu Xiao’s expansion; when they entered the Seventeenth Bureau, they had measured it with machines and basically wrecked the machines.

"Then... try charging it," Lu Xiao suggested after some thought.

If the instantaneous force was insufficient, then just charge it up.

"Charging?" Liuli Hong obviously didn’t quite understand the concept from the gaming world.

"It means, after compressing, don’t release it immediately, keep it concentrated in your hand, then keep compressing and accumulating. When you feel its strength is enough, then project it," Lu Xiao explained.

Liuli Hong frowned, "Wouldn’t this require a lot of time? Perhaps several seconds..."

Lu Xiao spread his hands, "So what if it takes several seconds? We Heavenly Men have Inner Qi Barriers, nothing to fear. With the Barrier and the ability to launch attacks from afar, we’re like mobile cannons. Slow, yes, but fierce!"

Liuli Hong’s eyes suddenly brightened, that’s true.

"I’ll try again!"

About three seconds later, the Inner Qi that Liuli Hong had condensed and compressed on his hand had reached the Fourth Rank standard.

"Go!" Liuli Hong flung it powerfully.

The next second, the Inner Qi blasted into the fish pond, creating a splash ten meters high.

When the water settled back into the pond, fish bellies also turned up.

"Damn, my fish!" Lu Xiao yelled out loud.

Liuli Hong also felt somewhat embarrassed; he hadn’t intended for Fourth Rank Inner Qi to have such explosive power in the fish pond.

"I’ll go to the flower and bird market tomorrow to buy some," he offered.

"That works," Lu Xiao nodded.

"Heavenly Men, it seems they’re really about to rise," Tia murmured from the side.

Although she wasn’t sure about the specifics of what Lu Xiao and Liuli Hong discussed, it was clear that Lu Xiao was teaching Liuli Hong the technique for long-range Inner Qi attacks.

Obviously, Liuli Hong had learned it, and the power was immense.

It meant that in the future, Heavenly Men wouldn’t just have the Inner Qi Barrier as their turtle shell; they also had long-range attacks.

Not only were Heavenly Men strong in close combat, but now they had mastered long-distance attacks.

It was like a Sword Saint had taken up a sniper rifle.

"No wonder every Mutant Organization in the world wants to kill Lu Xiao; this guy is really a game-changer."

"Forget it, whatever it is, it’s none of my business," Tia resigned.

"I’m off to sleep..." Tia yawned, dismissed her two owls, and went back to her room.

Just as Tia entered her room, Chen Han rushed into the courtyard.

"Brother-in-law, what’s going on? Did someone throw a bomb into the yard? What just exploded?" Chen Han arrived holding a fire extinguisher he found somewhere.

Lu Xiao rolled his eyes; talk about timing.

They’ve come at you twice now to assassinate you, and only now you hear something?

Are you going deaf at such a young age?

"Nothing much, sleep time, sleep time," Lu Xiao waved dismissively and headed back to his room.

Liuli Hong also picked up Lu Xiao’s computer and took off; he still had to study the Locking Eight Gates more – the technique was magic.

In the courtyard, Chen Han looked around bewildered.

Wait... why is everyone leaving?

It was super scary outside with all that booming – I had to muster a lot of courage to come out here. At least give me some praise.

A few seconds later, Chen Han casually threw away the fire extinguisher and raised his head high, "You Heavenly Men are so amazing, you Heavenly Men are so aloof... when I become a Mutant, I’ll be just as pretentious every day."

"It’s just the ultimate body torment, what’s the big deal."

"I, Chen Han, will one day make you all out of my league!"

Chen Han psyched himself up in the courtyard.

"Keep it down or I’ll throw you in the river! Don’t disturb my sleep!" Tia shouted.

"Got it!" Chen Han agreed briskly and quickly left.
