Chapter 59: Raging Waves of the Burning Mountain
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“If this were flesh and blood, I’m afraid it would be able to cut open a deep wound in an instant.”
On the locust tree, there was a ferocious and deep hole. Su Yun was terrified. This was much stronger than the cutting power brought about by paper poker cards.
When he thought of the flesh and blood of ordinary people, he shuddered. Su Yun could not hide the excitement in his heart. This also gave him a lot of confidence.
At this moment, he was confident that if he encountered the situation last night again, as long as he found an opportunity to hit it, he could easily kill the other party!
Of course, this was under the circumstances that he had hit the other party’s vital points, such as the neck, head, face, and other parts. However, they could not have professional protective gear. Otherwise, he could not cut open the other party’s protective gear. After all, some protective gear could even withstand bullets.
However, the advantage of the card was its cutting power. The penetration power was still insufficient, so if it wanted to unleash its power, it had to focus on the angle it could cut.
For example, if one used a card to shoot at a person’s body, its power would be greatly reduced, and it might not even cause much damage.
Of course, this was only under the premise of the second realm. It was still unknown how powerful the subsequent realms were.
“Let’s try breaking the waves again!”
The Downwind Technique already had such terrifying cutting damage. If it was combined with the explosive power of the Wave Breaking Technique…
At the thought of this, Su Yun could not hide his excitement and began to practice.
He was not sure if he would encounter similar emergencies in the future, but it was very necessary to have a few more life-saving methods.
As Su Yun had expected, the wave breaking technique also had a drawback
because of the change in the weight of the card.
Of course, the increase in weight also greatly increased the strength of the explosion when it came to the Wave Breaking Technique.
In fact, the golden card shot out even further than ordinary poker cards.
This was like the difference between throwing a ball of paper and throwing a stone.
A stone with a little weight would definitely be thrown further than a ball of paper.
At this moment, Su Yun’s wave breaking technique was the same.
However, the high-frequency vibration brought about a much less sense of tearing through the air.
Finally, after many attempts, Su Yun gradually grasped the essence.
After the golden card was shot out by the Wave Breaking Technique, it had already reached a terrifying distance of 25 meters.
Within 25 meters, there was almost no deviation in accuracy. 30 meters was the limit, but there would be a large deviation beyond 30 meters.
Su Yun was already very satisfied with this enhancement because his poker cards could only achieve extremely high accuracy within ten meters.
Of course, after breaking through to the second realm, the distance had increased to a certain extent, but the limited power did not exceed 20 meters.
If threw flew hard, it could naturally fly very far. However, if he exceeded the 20-meter range, the power would be greatly reduced.
On the other hand, using a stronger and heavier golden card would not have such a problem. Instead, it would be greatly improved.
“It seems that the increase in the material has also greatly sublimated its power. It has really made a qualitative leap.”
Su Yun was very satisfied with the surprise brought by the golden card.
In this way, Su Yun had something to rely on to fight within 30 meters. Of course, other than the fact that the other party had a pistol.
However, the accuracy of the pistol was only about 25 meters. Any further and it would be very fleeting. It might not even be as accurate as his card skill.
In other words, Su Yun’s long-range deterrence with the gold foil card was not inferior to a pistol!
“Since the upgrade of a weapon can bring about different effects, what if I use darts or throwing knives?”
“Does this count as me accidentally mastering the Little Li’s Flying Dagger?”
Su Yun was overjoyed. He had already begun to fantasize about being like a hero in a martial arts drama. He would shoot down a wild goose with a knife and no one would be able to get close.
The more Su Yun thought about it, the more excited he became. The sleepiness he had originally disappeared.
Su Yun quickly returned to Big Head Yang’s house, wanting to find a small freelance knife to try.
After searching for a while, Su Yun only found a fruit knife.
It felt good to the touch, so Su Yun excitedly returned to the big locust tree to test the water.
Whoosh!
Neither of Su Yun’s techniques could be applied to the knife because the shape of the poker cards and fruit knife was too different. Even the grip method could not be imitated.
Unfortunately, the fruit knife that flew out for the first time was like a kite with a broken string, tumbling in the air.
Su Yun tried a few more times, but the effect was the same.
The fruit knife was like a headless fly that always fell to the ground in an unimaginable way.
Sometimes it was the tip of a knife stabbing diagonally, sometimes it was the hilt of a knife touching the ground. In short, there was no order to speak of.
After trying for another half an hour, Su Yun spent most of his time looking for the fallen fruit knife.
In the end, he gave up. So he really only knew how to throw cards.
After a period of torment, Su Yun also concluded the reason for the failure.
The poker cards and golden cards were all square-shaped. When they flew out, they were in a spiral pattern. They were sharp and smooth on all sides and could slide in the air very well.
The fruit knife, on the other hand, was different. Its shape was very irregular. It could only accurately hit the target when it was thrown from a fixed point.
Moreover, it could only continuously consume its momentum in the air before falling.
It was like drifting on the water. Flat stones and tiles could always float further on the water, while diamond-shaped or other shapes would sink into the water the moment they touched the water.
That was because they could not borrow strength from the horizontal side, causing the falling force to rise again.
This was the reason why there was a difference in the card and the fruit knife.
In the end, Su Yun gave up on the fantasy of becoming a contemporary proponent of Little Li’s Flying Dagger.
“Looks like I can only play with flying cards for the time being.”
After reaching the final conclusion, Su Yun was tired. It was already dawn.
If it was not too late in the city, nightlife had just begun.
However, it was really late at night for the countryside that was far away from the debauchery. Even the lights of the nearby residents were all extinguished. On the way back, Su Yun recalled the shock the golden card had given him just now.
“Now that I’ve just stepped into the realm of controlling it like my arm, I’m already so powerful. The third realm, the fusion of the body and the body, seemed distant back then, but now, it’s my next target…”
Su Yun felt that this trip to the Burning Mountain could be said to have gained a lot. He was already very satisfied.
However, when he thought of the third realm, he started to yearn for a higher realm.
At the same time, he recalled his previous breakthrough and vaguely felt that he was about to touch something even more mysterious.
It was just as the ancient books had said. Now that he had a better understanding of his body, it was as if he could vaguely feel the surging of the vital energy in his body every time he stepped into it.
Su Yun could not confirm if it was his imagination or if there was indeed an unknown energy test in the human body.
However, perhaps this would be the direction for him to break through his next bottleneck.
“With this intrinsic weapon, if those criminals come looking for me, I shouldn’t be at a loss.”
Not long after, Su Yun returned to Big Head Yang’s house. Perhaps because he had a life weapon, the palpitations in Su Yun’s heart finally faded a lot. In the end, he fell asleep under Big Head Yang’s ‘beautiful singing’.
The next morning.
Grandma Yang was rather reluctant to see Su Yun leave, but she knew that young people had their own things to do, so she did not persuade him further. Instead, she kindly asked Su Yun to stay for another lunch.
Su Yun did not refuse. Grandma Yang went out to market early in the morning to make some delicious food for Su Yun.
On the other hand, Big Head Yang took advantage of his free time in the morning to bring Su Yun to deliver bait to his master and let Su Yun see the results of his fishing.
“Let’s see what level you’re at now.”
“Hehehe, I definitely won’t disappoint you. I realize that I’m still very talented in fishing.”
With that, the two of them rode the tricycle to the Burning Mountain Reservoir.
With his life weapon, although he still felt a little palpitation and danger on this trip, it increased Su Yun’s confidence.
It was just like the saying, “A gun is a man’s guts”, and the gold plate was Su Yun’s guts!
As for Granny Yang’s insistence on taking the village bus, in the old lady’s words, they were all old friends in the bus and could chat.
Big Head Yang gave up on the idea of using a tricycle to drive his grandmother to the market.
Due to today’s market, the usually spacious village road became crowded.
After some effort, Big Head Yang drove Su Yun to the road leading to the Burning Mountain Reservoir.
However, just as they reached the main road, Su Yun and Big Head Yang’s attention was attracted by the police cars speeding past.
In a short while, at least six or seven police cars flew past them.
Big Head Yang scratched his head and said in surprise, “Uh, what happened?
Why are there so many police cars?”
Su Yun frowned at this moment. He had a bad feeling.
Could it be related to the group of people the night before?
Previously, Su Yun was still puzzled. He had called the police at Gazi Groove Police Station yesterday. Why was no one looking for him to take a statement today?
Initially, he thought that the police station on the street did not take it seriously, but now, it seemed that things were not simple. It seemed that even the city police station was alarmed.
For a moment, Su Yun thought about it. If that group of criminals was arrested by the police, he naturally did not have to worry anymore… In the end, he decided to wait for the police to call first..
