"These are all mortal firearms I crafted from records excavated from Middle Antiquity ruins. Young Master Fang, have you noticed that none of them have any Origin Energy flowing through them? That is because their structures are purely mechanical, with no spell formations or restrictions involved. Even mortals without a trace of Spirit Essence or battle aura can use them freely, without any additional limitations."

If you do not believe me, I can take you to the firing range later. You will know once you try them."
"And this one is a true cannon, modeled after famous weapons of Middle Antiquity such as the Fire Thunder Cannon and the Heaven-Shaking Thunder Cannon. It uses specialized shells, and a single shot can kill a top human rank expert. Even the colossal bodies of earth rank beasts and large manifestations would struggle to withstand its power!"
