Extraordinary in Reality Through Magic Games

163: Chapter 161 The bustling outskirts of Su City once again and the last qualified freshmanLuo Xiling and Zhao Qi were startled awake by the vibrations beneath their feet, hurriedly rushing to the edge of the platform to look down at the foot of the mountain.

The sword qi had already vanished, leaving only a chasm several meters deep and nearly a hundred meters long in the ground before the stone mountain.

The two of them couldn’t help but wonder what kind of modern weapon could withstand such an attack.

They knew that many human weapons could produce even more terrifying power, but there were ”limitations.”

Missiles require flight time, various forms of guidance, and some models can be intercepted by air defense.

Mortars and rocket launchers have a set range, must reach a designated location in advance, and must relocate immediately after a volley.

Otherwise, a destructive counter-attack would arrive within minutes.

Bombers have to take off from their own side and fly for a certain amount of time to reach the enemy area.

But what about this sword qi?

A person, holding a sword, raises their hand and strikes.

From preliminary preparations to the completion of the attack, Zhao Qi estimated it probably wouldn’t even take 30 seconds.

Coupled with Immortal Xu’s elusive invisibility methods that no instrument could scan...

Zhao Qi imagined such a person in modern warfare; if they delivered a single strike to the enemy’s Command Post, how could the war even be fought?

Furthermore, he would never believe that the strike before his eyes was Immortal Xu striking with full power.

While the two were inexplicably shocked, Zhang Mu, whose expression was calm, also felt doubt in his heart; the destructive power was not right.

The moon bright sword was a non-standard ”puppet” he had specially made, with a blank Core installed inside that was engraved with his ”True Great Wind Blade Technique.”

Zhang Mu had used the upgraded Wind Blade Technique many times in the Silent Forest.

It was indeed strong—an Apprentice Level magic that had mutated to the point of being comparable to a Elementary magic.

But it was only at the level of shattering stones and rending iron, unable to even pierce the hide of a Fourth-tier Magic Beast.

Why now...

His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly as he recalled the ”Pseudo Great Rock Fall Technique” he had released earlier in the London outskirts.

That was the first time he had used the upgraded Rock Fall Technique, and the size of the stones had shocked even him.

But he thought that since it was based on a Elementary magic template, perhaps the increase in power with each upgrade was greater than at the Apprentice Level, so he didn’t think there was a problem.

However, with this obviously abnormal Wind Blade, if he still couldn’t detect an abnormality, he would be a true idiot.

Actually, the matter wasn’t difficult to analyze; after a few seconds of contemplation, Zhang Mu realized the only differentiating factor in the change of power between the two Wind Blades was the location where they were released.

Saul Continent...

Zhang Mu didn’t have conclusive evidence, but it was easy to solve.

He just needed to find time to return to the Other World, release a Rock Fall Technique, and cross-verify it with the Wind Blade Technique.

If the power of the Rock Fall Technique he performed after consuming a Mana Enhancement Potion in the Saul Continent was smaller, then his suspicion would naturally be confirmed.

”Master! I want to learn this!”

Snapping back to reality, Zhang Mu looked up to see Luo Xiling skipping toward him: ”Stand still.”

”Oh.”

Once she was standing steadily, Zhang Mu said, ”Though you have been accepted by Xu as a Named Disciple, the height of the Mountain Gate is not easily scaled.”

Luo Xiling was stunned: ”What does that mean?”

Zhao Qi, who had already been informed of the situation by the Bureau Chief, walked over and explained, ”Immortal Xu’s Mountain Gate is about to recruit disciples.

There’s surely more than one immortal master inside. You’re considered to have been favored by Immortal Xu and pre-selected, but you still have to go through the normal process.”

”Uh, what process?”

”An assessment or something like that.”

”What if I don’t pass?”

”Immortal Xu is right here, just ask him.”

Hearing this, Luo Xiling glanced over with her small eyes, and Zhang Mu smiled: ”If you fail, you will naturally be turned away at the door. Is that not reasonable?”

”Very, very reasonable.”
