Holding a cannon!
That's right.
This is what Lu Changsheng had in mind.
Unlike the cannons used in military warfare that are placed on the ground, this is more like a hand cannon used by a class called Gunner in a game from my previous life.
If that's the case, holding a hand cannon in each hand would allow one to freely unleash various different Power of Origin the Great Dao.
Then, at crucial moments, the two hand cannons can be merged into a shoulder-mounted cannon to fire projectiles that incorporate the Power of Origin.
Isn't that wonderful?
Furthermore, don't you think cannons are more suitable for unleashing energy bombardment than melee weapons like longswords?
Just thinking about it is exciting.
Back in the day, Lu Changsheng was somewhat of a military enthusiast; wouldn't it be wonderful if he could now manufacture and use his own cannons?
We did it right away.
Just in case, Lu Changsheng...
Try making a hand cannon using other materials first.
After all, he had never done this before, and there was only one World Tree; if it were damaged, everything would be over.
However, Lu Changsheng's worries were completely unfounded.
If a part of the World Tree's trunk can be destroyed so easily, how can it support the countless worlds within it?
On the other side.
Cangxuan Academy.
Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming returned to the courtyard.
Although Ye Qiubai had previously displayed his astonishing Celestial Person Sword Dao in front of the students of the Cangxuan Academy, some students still came to challenge him to a duel.
only.
These people were all severely injured by Qi Wu, injuries so severe that they would take several years to fully recover.
Gradually, no one dared to come knocking on their door anymore.
The courtyard has returned to a state of peace and tranquility.
Listening to Qi Wu recount the events of the past two days, Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming both nodded; everything was within their expectations.
Now that the students are no longer interfering, they have more time and energy to investigate Xu Canghai's affairs.
"By the way, any news from Prince Scarlet Flame and Prince Yang Flame?"
Before being summoned by the dean, Xu Yeming arranged for two princes to secretly monitor the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder respectively.
Qi Wu shook his head and said, "We've been monitoring them, but there haven't been any unusual movements in the last two days."
"But you'll have to ask them for specifics yourself."
Xu Yeming nodded, "Have them report everything that has happened recently; don't overlook any clues."
After the incident at the Blood Assessment Hall, it's likely that the Fourth Elder won't be able to continue his suspicions openly as before. If he wants to investigate, he'll do so secretly and discreetly without alerting anyone.
Thinking of this, Xu Yeming said, "The main focus is on the Third Elder."
The Third Elder, who had been making no moves on the surface, was now Xu Yeming's main target.
Qi Wu nodded. "Okay, I'll talk to them. First, have them record the intelligence from the past two days."
After saying this, he transmitted his voice to the two princes.
It didn't take long.
Two scrolls were then delivered.
These belong to the Fourth Elder and the Third Elder, respectively.
Xu Yeming looked at Ye Qiubai and asked, "Senior Brother, could you take a look at the Fourth Elder's document?"
Ye Qiubai smiled and accepted it, "No problem."
Immediately, the two began to examine the scroll carefully.
Unexpectedly, the Fourth Elder did not make any moves during this period, and apart from instructing his disciples in cultivation, he did not leave the mansion.
They didn't even make those little moves.
Could it be that all suspicions about Xu Yeming have truly been dispelled?
Xu Yeming held the scroll and looked at the records on it about what the Third Elder had done in the past two days.
There is no difference.
However, the Third Elder seems to be going out quite frequently.
However, under the surveillance of Prince Scarlet Flame, his outings were limited to trivial matters and handling academy affairs.
Then he returned to his residence.
There was nothing particularly unusual about it.
Could it be that my feelings are wrong?
Xu Yeming was taken aback.
At this moment, Ye Qiubai walked over, pointed at the text above, and frowned, saying, "Something feels off..."
Xu Yeming was slightly taken aback.
What's wrong?
Ye Qiubai picked up the scroll containing the Fourth Elder's information and compared it with the scroll containing the Third Elder's information in Xu Yeming's hand. He said in a deep voice, "As far as I know, the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder usually do similar things, but under surveillance, they do completely different things."
Xu Yeming nodded.
They had just gotten this information out of Dean Cangxuan.
"But... whose actions do you think are the most normal?" Ye Qiubai suddenly asked this question.
Xu Yeming seemed to be awakened, his whole body trembled, and he immediately began to compare the two scrolls again.
He then said, "What the Third Elder is doing is the most normal thing, but the Fourth Elder has been staying at the mansion doing nothing these days."
That means the Fourth Elder is probably plotting something.
Ye Qiubai said solemnly, "It seems we need to be careful of these Fourth Elders."
Xu Yeming nodded and looked at Qi Wu.
Qi Wu instantly understood and immediately took the jade pendant to inform Prince Yang Flame.
Make him more attentive, and keep the other person under his sight.
"We'll meet force with force and water with earth." Ye Qiubai patted Xu Yeming on the shoulder and laughed, "Besides, we don't need to be too afraid of these things now. After all, the Dean and Senior Black Lord are definitely on our side. With the Dean's help in the future, the other side probably won't be able to cause any trouble."
Xu Yeming nodded.
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
The dean summoned him again.
Xu Yeming frowned. "Can't you just say everything at once? We just parted ways."
Ye Qiubai laughed and said, "Perhaps something important has suddenly come up. Alright, stop complaining, let's go."
When Ye Qiubai, Xu Yeming, and Qi Wu arrived at the Dean's Hall.
Inside the main hall, Dean Cangxuan sat at the head of the table. Although he wore a faint smile, he had abandoned his previous casual demeanor on Cangxuan Peak and appeared quite dignified.
The First Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder were all seated at the head of the table, staring at Ye Qiubai and his companions with either curiosity or gloom.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's ask for their opinions, shall we?" Dean Cangxuan said with a smile.
Opinion?
What's your opinion?
Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming exchanged a glance.
What trick are they playing now?
However, neither of them was worried.
After all, Dean Cangxuan is here right now, and he can't let them suffer a loss.
Otherwise, if they suffer a loss, Dean Cangxuan himself will be the one to suffer.
The Fourth Elder said calmly, "The two exchange students from the Azure Firmament Academy have been here for quite some time and have already toured Cangxuan Academy. I think it's time to send them back."
=============
PS: Seven chapters... I wrote five chapters from yesterday until noon today, but finally couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep.
Let's do this: four of these seven chapters will be considered as the ones that were originally scheduled to be updated yesterday and today, and the remaining three chapters will be supplementary.
That means 3 chapters were added, but 22 chapters are still owed.
