Enlightenment: Attaining the Dao at Age 8

Chapter 165: Chapter 120: Slaying a Tier Five, Super Electromagnetic Cannon

The fact that both things were true of the same person left Su Ruobing feeling somewhat disoriented.

After a long silence, Su Ruobing licked her dry lips and continued to ask, “What were those Energy Light Pillars just now? Don’t tell me you were the one who fired them?”

Li Chang’an didn’t hide anything either, answering directly, “That was a Super Electromagnetic Cannon. I made some modifications. The Magnetic Energy Shells it fires also contain an Electric Energy Light Pillar…”

A Super Electromagnetic Cannon…

A modified Super Electromagnetic Cannon?

At first, Su Ruobing thought Li Chang’an was joking with her.

Or that there was simply something wrong with her own ears.

But when she turned her head, she saw that the entirety of Cangxuan City was pitch black, with even the Inner City’s Energy Shield losing its power supply. Only then did she reluctantly force herself to believe Li Chang’an’s answer. “So you used a Super Electromagnetic Cannon… to kill that Tier Five special Extraordinary Beast?”

Li Chang’an nodded again.

Su Ruobing felt like she had temporarily lost the ability to speak.

Because the light pillars fired moments ago had been so dazzling, several nearby cities had all seen the strange phenomenon in the sky.

Right now, the Linjiang Reincarnator group chat was already exploding with activity.

Zhao Suran from Bajia City: “Holy shit, what was that just now? A flash of blue light. Was that lightning?”

Caozhuang Anyi: “You saw it too? I just saw it as well. It didn’t look like lightning. Besides, the Exotic Beast Tide isn’t over yet. The sky is full of Dark Energy, so how could there be lightning?”

Qian Zhong from Blood Shadow City: “It can’t be lightning. I saw the light shoot up from the ground into the sky. That direction… it seems to be where Cangxuan City and Panhu City are!”

Deng Ankang from Fire Lion City: “Panhu City has already been wiped out by that Plant System special Extraordinary Beast. Those light pillars just now must have come from Cangxuan City!”

Ji Fulin from Donglan City: “I wonder if Chairman Su made it in time to help. We in Linjiang finally got a top scholar willing to stay. If he dies just like that, it would be a huge loss!”

Most people in the group chat were clearly showing their concern for Li Chang’an.

But the scale of this Exotic Beast Tide was just too massive. Most of them could barely protect themselves, let alone rush to the aid of other cities.

Therefore, they could only pray that Su Ruobing would be a little faster.

Otherwise, the losses this time would be truly devastating.

The few of them were still discussing it in the group.

Suddenly, someone reacted in astonishment, as if they had seen something incredible. “Holy shit, you guys, go check the Bounty Points leaderboard! Boss Deng’s top spot was just stolen!!”

Hearing this, the group chat immediately fell into another uproar.

They opened the Bounty Points leaderboard and were stunned to find that a name no one had ever paid attention to before had surpassed Deng Ankang of Fire Lion City, leaping into the number one spot.

[Name: Li Chang’an]

[Affiliated Rebirth Association: Linjiang]

[Bounty Points: 113,711]

[Rank: 1]

The moment they saw the name, countless people in the Linjiang Reincarnator group chat were petrified, repeatedly rubbing their eyes to make sure they weren’t hallucinating.

Caozhuang Anyi: “Holy shit, isn’t Li Chang’an my junior? What did he just do? How did he suddenly gain nearly fifty thousand Bounty Points?”

Qian Zhong from Blood Shadow City: “Could it be that Chairman Su helped him kill that special Extraordinary Beast that wiped out Panhu City? That shouldn’t be right. The Chairman herself is a Reincarnator bound to a city. If she killed that monster, the Bounty Points should have gone to her. How could they be Li Chang’an’s?!”

Deng Ankang from Fire Lion City: “Dammit, I finally managed to rank first three times in a row and was even aiming for a five-time streak! What the hell is this?!”

Ji Fulin from Donglan City: “@Deng Ankang from Fire Lion City, ’Tis but a scratch! The Exotic Beast Tide isn’t completely over yet. Boss Deng, you still have a chance to take back the lead. You can go hunt down a special Extraordinary Beast worth fifty thousand points right now!”

Deng Ankang from Fire Lion City: “@Ji Fulin from Donglan City, I… you… Ji, after this Exotic Beast Tide is over, I’m going to chase you all the way to Donglan City and cripple you!”

Ji Fulin from Donglan City: “Boss Deng, I was just giving you a reasonable suggestion to solve your problem. Why are you reacting so strongly?”

Deng Ankang from Fire Lion City: “…”

’Since when was a special Extraordinary Beast worth fifty thousand points so easy to kill?’

Even a Tier Six Evolver wouldn’t dare say they were 100% certain of success, let alone Deng Ankang, who was merely a Tier Five Peak Body Cultivator.

No wonder Deng Ankang was so furious and flustered.

After everyone chattered away in the group chat for a while, people started @’ing Li Chang’an and Su Ruobing, wanting to know what exactly had happened in Cangxuan City.

Su Ruobing had already withdrawn into herself at this point.

Li Chang’an, however, had recovered and spoke up in the group: “Everyone, I’m fine. The Plant System special Extraordinary Beast that destroyed Panhu City is dead, and Chairman Su is right here with me!”

Hearing Li Chang’an’s explanation, although the people in the group still weren’t entirely sure what had happened, they thought they had pieced most of it together.

They figured Chairman Su had arrived in the nick of time and then used the formidable power of a Tier Seven Mage to beat the Exotic Beast half to death.

In the end, she let Li Chang’an, the famous Newcomer, deliver the final blow.

And take all the immense credit.

Although everyone inevitably felt it was a little unfair, out of respect for Su Ruobing, no one dared to say much.

Only Ji Fulin from Donglan City was a perpetual loose cannon.

He promptly sent a message asking: “@Li Chang’an, did Chairman Su beat the beast half to death and then leave the final blow to you? For Chairman Su to treat you so well, are you two involved in some kind of secret affair?”

Seeing Ji Fulin’s message, a strange, deathly silence fell over the group chat.

Originally, Qian Zhong from Blood Shadow City, being the good old guy he was, had wanted to smooth things over for Ji Fulin. But after reading Ji’s message, he could only sigh. “Ji, you’re on your own now!”
