"You're the girl Chen Tianyi brought back, aren't you?" Wang Ning raised his eyebrows as he sized up Hu Ke'er who was on the stage.
"Yeah." Hu Ke'er nodded. It seemed that Wang Ning already knew about her situation. Could it be that Chen Tianyi had already put in a good word for her? Thinking so, Hu Ke'er looked back at Chen Tianyi standing in the crowd with a worried look on his face.
"I heard you don't have any spiritual roots at all. You'd better surrender now, or I won't show you any mercy later!" A sneer appeared on the corner of Wang Ning's mouth.
"I won't surrender. You don't need to show mercy either, because I'm confident I can beat you!" Seeing Wang Ning's expression, Hu Ke'er understood that this Senior Brother Wang not only had no friendship with Chen Tianyi, but might even have a grudge against him. Thinking so, she tightened the flintlock in her hand. If the flintlock and the flamethrower she made worked properly, she should be able to defeat this muscle - bound guy in front of her.
"Confident you can beat me? Girl, don't you know the gap between a cultivator and a mortal? It's too naive of you to think you can beat me with those strange things on you!" Wang Ning, who had also noticed the tank on Hu Ke'er's back and the flintlock in her hand, couldn't help but laugh mockingly.
"Humph, just keep laughing. You'll look bad later!" Hu Ke'er said霸气ly.
"Since you won't surrender, then the exam begins!" Wang Ning said as he raised his eyebrows at the little girl who had announced the results just now.
"For the entry assessment, Outer - Door Disciple Wang Ning will face the tester Hu Ke'er. Begin!" As the referee's voice fell, Wang Ning took a big step forward, and the next second he appeared in front of Hu Ke'er.
"So fast!" Hu Ke'er felt a strong masculine aura rushing towards her and immediately pulled the trigger of the flintlock in her hand.
"Bang!" A loud noise came, and both Hu Ke'er and Wang Ning were affected by the explosion and rolled several times in the direction behind them.
"It hurts so much!" Hu Ke'er struggled to get up from the ground and saw that there was a huge wound on her hand. Her hand holding the gun handle was trembling uncontrollably, and only half of the flintlock was left.
"Wow!" The sudden explosion caused an uproar.
"The gun barrel exploded!" Hu Ke'er gritted her teeth, looked at her blackened hand from the explosion, and felt disappointed. If the gun barrel hadn't exploded just now, she could definitely have taken out the opponent with one shot at such a close distance. Thinking so, Hu Ke'er felt regretful.
"What kind of spell is this? Its power is almost the same as that of a detonation talisman!" At this time, Wang Ning had also recovered and stared at Hu Ke'er warily.
"It's nothing. It's just an ordinary weapon." Hu Ke'er said softly and then reached out to unscrew the spiritual energy tank on her back. It seemed that Wang Ning's strength was really not low. He could tell the power of the flintlock she made at a glance. Originally, the bullets in this gun were made by Chen Tianyi engraving detonation talismans on them. Hu Ke'er could attack the opponent from a long distance by firing them like this, but unfortunately the gun barrel exploded, so the plan to pass the assessment with one shot was foiled. If she had tested the flintlock before, this might not have happened, but time didn't wait for her. She could only study the reason for the failure slowly after the assessment was over. After all, it was the first time she made a flintlock with spiritual energy and detonation talismans, so it was excusable for it to fail! Fortunately, Hu Ke'er had a second plan.
"Aren't you going to attack me?" Hu Ke'er held the nozzle connected to the spiritual energy tank with her left hand and pointed it in Wang Ning's direction.
"What is this little girl up to?" Wang Ning, who had been eager to act after seeing the flintlock in Hu Ke'er's hand blown to pieces, frowned when he heard Hu Ke'er's words. Then he looked at the nozzle in Hu Ke'er's hand warily.
"How can there be spiritual energy released from this? What kind of magical treasure is this?"
"Hehe, it's not really a magical treasure, but its power should be quite great. If you don't come over, I'll start!" Seeing Wang Ning's cautious look, Hu Ke'er took out her fire starter and gently threw it towards the nozzle.
"Boom!" The moment the fire starter slid past the nozzle, a flame shot out and directly rushed towards Wang Ning.
"Spiritual fire?" Wang Ning quickly took a few steps back to avoid the flame.
"Want to dodge? It's not that easy!" Seeing Wang Ning retreat out of the attack range of the flame, Hu Ke'er quickly adjusted the valve on the nozzle. The flame became thinner and longer, and the range increased a lot.
"Oh my god, it can be like this!" Wang Ning felt the scorching heat and continued to retreat, while Hu Ke'er directly turned the adjustment valve to the maximum, suddenly increasing the air pressure in the spiritual energy tank. The tongue of fire instantly engulfed Wang Ning!
"Oops, I adjusted it too much. This guy won't be okay, will he?" Seeing Wang Ning engulfed by the flame, Hu Ke'er looked worried. She just wanted to pass the entry assessment, and she had no intention of killing anyone!
"I thought your spiritual fire was so powerful. It turns out it's just for scaring people." Just when Hu Ke'er was worried about Wang Ning, Wang Ning's voice came from the flame. Then Hu Ke'er saw that Wang Ning's whole body was enveloped by a golden light, and the flames were blocked outside the golden light.
"This is..." Hu Ke'er was surprised when she saw Wang Ning walking towards her directly against the flames.
"This is the difference between us cultivators and you mortals. This is my spiritual energy barrier. No matter what you do, you won't be able to defeat me after I actively activate this spiritual energy barrier!"
"No way? It can be like this?" Hearing Wang Ning's words, Hu Ke'er showed a surprised expression. She had used up all her weapons, but still couldn't succeed. It seemed that this time was really too hasty. If she had more time, it would be better!
"I have to say you've really surprised me. Without any spiritual roots, you can force me to this extent with two strange weapons. It's really amazing. It's a pity that you're Chen Tianyi's friend. Otherwise, I really would have let you pass!" With that, Wang Ning continued to slowly approach Hu Ke'er.
"What should I do? What should I do? Am I really going to lose?" Seeing Wang Ning walking towards her directly against the flames, Hu Ke'er's mind was running wildly. If the gun barrel hadn't exploded before, if the flintlock could be used, she would definitely win! Gun - barrel explosion? Got it! A flash of inspiration suddenly came to Hu Ke'er's mind, and then she threw all the remaining bullets engraved with detonation talismans in her pocket towards Wang Ning. Although she didn't know the incantation for the detonation talisman, these detonation talismans should work under the action of high temperature, right!
