The Terrifying Power of Mental Power
Yu Xiaogang thoughtfully provided an Ammunition Loading Assistant, otherwise loading bullets would be too troublesome, as he would have to press each bullet into the magazine one by one. He first gave a demonstration to Su Yuntao and the other three.
Su Yuntao and Si Si were the first to learn. They started using the Ammunition Loading Assistant to arrange the bullets, aligned them with the magazine, and pushed hard. With a "click," the loading was complete. Su Yuntao and Si Si easily loaded the bullets and inserted the magazine into the pistol.
Wang Dachui and Xiao Zhan probably wanted to try the normal loading method. Although it was a bit slow to load the bullets one by one, the sound of each bullet being loaded was very satisfying, and Wang Dachui and Xiao Zhan were having a great time loading them.
Si Si fiddled with the small pistol in her hand, occasionally aiming it at the still-floating iron wreckage, trying different aiming positions to find the most comfortable one. After fiddling with it for a while, she turned to Teacher Yu Xiaogang and said:
"Teacher! May I try this pistol? It looks much smaller. I hope the recoil won't be like Wang Dachui's revolver? Teacher, please don't tease me. I don't have Wang Dachui's physique. I'm just a pitiful and weak support-type Soul Master!"
Si Si put on a pitiful act for Yu Xiaogang, hoping that Yu Xiaogang would use his Mental Power to protect Si Si.
Yu Xiaogang shook his head and said to Si Si with a smile:
"Alright! Stop acting pitiful! Do you really think your teacher isn't that bad? I'll be watching you with my Mental Power later. Si Si, you can try it now. Su Yuntao, Xiao Zhan, and Wang Dachui, you three should all try out your pistols! Don't end up clumsy and awkward when you need to use them to save your life!"
Yu Xiaogang watched Su Yuntao and the other two loaded their bullets, then aimed at the wreckage of the refined iron. With a wave of his hand, four more identical pieces of refined iron flew out and floated about 10 meters away from Su Yuntao and the others.
Yu Xiaogang put away the broken piece of refined iron that had been shot by the revolver and the Python Revolver, walked to the side, nodded to Su Yuntao and the other three to indicate that it was alright, and then instructed them, "You four also need to be careful. Although the bullets weren't modified this time, the recoil is still quite strong. Remember to use your Soul Power to protect your wrists and ears. Also, remember to be careful of ricochets when using firearms in confined spaces. This time, your teacher will protect you, so feel free to fire!"
Su Yuntao and his three companions listened attentively to Yu Xiaogang's advice, as it was their first time encountering such a magical weapon. After Yu Xiaogang finished giving his instructions, they all aimed at their respective pieces of refined iron, and then, amidst the sounds of gunfire—"bang bang" and the "clang clang" of bullets ricocheting off the iron—they were met with a cacophony of gunfire.
Yu Xiaogang used his Mental Power to intercept the ricochets around him, and saw small craters appear on the refined iron, along with bullet heads floating around it.
Su Yuntao was probably very excited. He was quite shocked by Wang Dachui's shot, and now that he had tried it himself, he was very excited. He emptied a magazine in no time.
Su Yuntao felt unsatisfied, looking helplessly at the recoiled gun in his hand. He was just getting into it, and now he was out of bullets. He complained to Teacher Yu Xiaogang beside him in frustration:
"Why are we being given these little pistols, teacher? I actually really like those big, guzzling guns in the Wandering Earth! It would be so much fun to shoot them down!"
At this moment, Si Si Xiao Zhan and Wang Dachui had emptied their magazines, and they both looked unsatisfied. They both looked at Yu Xiaogang with longing eyes.
Yu Xiaogang reluctantly took out several bullet rations from his Storage Soul Tool and said to Su Yuntao and the other three in front of him:
"You guys had a blast shooting, but your teacher is in for a tough time. Don't underestimate these tiny bullets. I handcrafted them one by one in my spare time. Right now, I haven't finished the Soul Power Motor or the Soul Tool that automatically produces bullets. So, take it easy!"
Yu Xiaogang, after receiving the bullets, complained helplessly to Su Yuntao and the other three, "You guys had a good time shooting! You used up a week's worth of his ammunition in one go!"
Seeing that Su Yuntao's four apprentices looked over awkwardly, Yu Xiaogang couldn't continue complaining. After all, they were his apprentices, so he could only forgive them! Then he continued to give them some instructions:
"Alright! Take it easy for now. Once the teacher has finished producing the Soul Tool automatically, you can go all out! But you'll need to get the bullet materials yourself, since the teacher doesn't have that much time."
Yu Xiaogang paused for a moment, facing the target, and with his hands behind his back, instructed his four apprentices beside him:
"Su Yuntao, look, aren't those bullet heads floating around the target? Those are ricochets! Once the target is penetrated, the bullets will ricochet. If I hadn't been here protecting you with my Mental Power, you would have all been injured by the ricochets!"
Su Yuntao looked closely at the target iron, noticing that the cratered iron was surrounded by bullets, some of which seemed to be bouncing towards his position. He broke out in a cold sweat.
At this moment, Si Si asked Teacher Yu Xiaogang, "Teacher! This pistol is indeed much less powerful, but can it still damage Soul Ancestor? Just now, Wang Dachui's Python Revolver pierced through such thick iron with a single shot, while this little pistol only left a few bullet holes."
Si Si was a little dissatisfied with the power of the pistol in her hand. After all, the Python Revolver was a much better example, and the difference was too great. She wished Teacher Yu Xiaogang could create a pistol that combined the advantages of both. Since Si Si was only a support-oriented quasi -Soul Master, she cared most about weapons that could protect her, and of course, the greater the power, the better! Yu Xiaogang agreed with Si Si's greedy idea. If he could really create a recoil-free gun with cheat-like effects like in a game, that would definitely be amazing.
Yu Xiaogang could only offer a wry smile as he comforted Si Si:
"Si Si, as long as your physical strength meets the standard, you can completely ignore that little bit of recoil! But have you forgotten our Sect Signature Technique?"
After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, he used his Mental Power to control the target and bullets to spin rapidly around Su Yuntao and the others, increasing their speed and occasionally colliding and emitting sparks. A gust of wind swept through the private room, making it difficult for Su Yuntao and the others to open their eyes! Yu Xiaogang extended his left hand in a claw shape, and the bullets and iron targets gathered above his palm, colliding with a loud "bang".
Yu Xiaogang smiled and said to his four apprentices, "Remember this! Firearms are just external tools! True strength comes from within! Otherwise, what if your pistols are shot down after a battle? What if you run out of bullets? You'll still have to fight with your own abilities! Firearms are just tools to help you; don't put the cart before the horse!"
After speaking, Yu Xiaogang ignored the expressions of Su Yuntao and the other three, and clenched his left hand tightly! Amidst a series of ear-piercing metallic scraping sounds, the metal ball the size of a human head was shrunken into a small iron bead in an instant under Yu Xiaogang's golden Mental Power.
Si Si was completely stunned. She only knew that Mental Power could be used to control flying knives, but today she realized how terrifying Teacher Yu Xiaogang's Mental Power was! She didn't know how hard refined iron was; such a large iron ball turned into a small iron bead right in front of her.
Si Si's desire for Mental Power has only intensified! Every support player harbors the heart of a damage dealer! There's another one coming tonight.
