The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1121

(Unedited)

…

After coming home that night, Xin Ja arrives in a place just like nothing has happened. He discovered that the enemy at that time has two experts on their side, a 10th level elder and the mysterious 12th level soldier who fought with his uncle.

As Xin Ja enters the house, he saw his father talking to a man wearing a dark blue robe. That man is his powerful uncle who is already a 12th level Ki Adept.

"Papa, I\'m home!" he greeted jovially as he enters the hall and cupped his hands.

"Uncle!" he also greeted.

"Umm… How was school?" Xin Jong asked with a smile.

"I learned a lot… It was fun… Hehe…" Xin Ja chuckled.

"Little Ja… come here, son… Uncle wants to talk to you about something…" his father called.

Xin Ja walks closer to the two and took a seat at the available seat in the hall.

"We were discussing something that involves you and the things that you\'ve created…" his father said.

Xin Ja was a bit taken aback as he did not expect that his father would have known something like that. He thought that he has kept everything in secret. Well, not that it was very important though. At least he was his father and his uncle who has willingly helped them in their times of need.

Seeing the reluctance in the eyes of the boy, Xin Han walks beside Xin Ja and patted his shoulder.

"Don\'t worry… This will become an army secret. Right now I am working with the Jimal Kingdom secret military forces… When I saw your capability… I almost wanted you to join the force. But… you are still very young and your strength is not yet on par… because the secret force has a high standard… However, be that as it may… I can still employ your craftsman skills… right?" Xin Han said with a wink.

"Uncle Han… I am willing to help as long as it would keep my father safe…" Xin Ja said with a serious expression.

"Hahaha… Look Cousin Jong… you truly have a good son. He is very sensible and worries about his father very much… Hahaha…" Xin Han laughed.

"Last night… I was in awe of your performance… you truly are a Xin. Hahaha… Bold and strong, brave even… You\'re like me when I was younger… Hehe…" Xin Han shamelessly said with a grin.

"I noticed that you are using that weird stick that renders the Ki field of your opponent helpless. Those 5th level warriors are not even your match and you are just a 1st level Ki fighter… Truly amazing… Anyway, what I wanted to ask you today is… Can you help me create these kinds of weapons for my troops…  about 50 of them. Of course, you don\'t have to worry about the payment… I am after all a going to be your regular client from now on…" Xin Han said with a reassuring gaze.

Xin Ja was a bit taken aback.

The production of the Ki buster is in its test phase. He can fire at 1 shot per second because he is able to rapidly control his Ki. However, he did not know if this is possible for others.

"Umm… Uncle… I can actually create these kinds of weapons for you… However, they would not be like the one I am using as this weapon is specially made for me…" Xin Ja said awkwardly.

"Hmm… What do you mean?... Hold on… How about you let me try it out?" Xin Han said after thinking.

The three of them went out to the woods and Xin Ja sets up target practice.

He then gave Xin Han the Ki buster he is using and instructs him on how to use it. Xin Han has a lot of questions in his mind right now, but he did not ask and just follow the instruction of his nephew.

He stood there and then pointed at the target. He then put his Ki on the handle of the Ki buster which in turn suddenly inserted itself on the bullet.

Boom!!!

A loud deafening sound reverberated through the air which almost made Xin Ja who is standing beside Xin Han flew to the side. It was as if he was hit by a powerful force that sent him flying.

Xin Ja\'s head was a bit woozy as he picks himself up.

He then looks in the direction of Xin Han and his father who is looking ahead of them with their mouths agape.

Xin Ja was baffled but he slowly shifted his gaze to the target. When his eyes landed on the targets he set up a hundred meters away from them he froze in shock.

A couple of tall trees now have large holes on their trucks with some of them falling to the ground. It was not devastation but more like a powerful lance went through them cleanly.

"Son,… are you alright?" Xin Jong recovered as he walks beside Xin Ja while patting the dirt off Xin Ja\'s clothes.

"I\'m fine… Papa… what… happened?... This... this is not what I have expected…" Xin Ja muttered to himself as he noticed the red glow on the Ki buster\'s barrel.

Luckily the barrel was able to survive that powerful blast of energy. This is something that concerns him the most. What if there is more than one bullet? If the use of Ki is not controlled, then those bullets would surely explode simultaneously and harm the use user instead.

But contrary to his contemplation, Xin Han showed an elated expression on his face.

"Hahaha… This… this is what we need in the battlefield… with this weapon… we can defeat those bastards that are currently harassing us in our borders…" Xin Han said with a chuckle.

"It\'s still a bit dangerous though…" Xin Jong said with a frown.

He too could also tell that the weapon has its merits and its dangers.

"Papa… Uncle, this weapon is still in its trial phase. I think I could develop a more stable weapon within this month." Xin Ja said after thinking.

"That is good… Because this thing almost took half of my Ki…" Xin Han said feeling a bit awkward.

He was told to control his Ki but he was tempted to use more, then suddenly he feel half of his Ki seemed to have been siphoned by the weapon. It was a weird feeling, but he did not resist. And from there he knew the result would be. It was satisfying but dangerous.

…

That night, Xin Ja mediated as usual after having dinner with his family and playing with his Xuanlong and Yao Xue. It has been a while since he reached the 1st level and judging from the amount of energy his body is consuming, it would take him more time to reach the 2nd level.

But he did not want to stop and continue absorbing the chaotic Ki in the air.

After a while, he stopped and took a break.

He then looks at the old blueprint of the Ki buster and then takes out a new piece of paper. He then began to draw a new design that would limit the power of the weapon. He needed to make an array that would prevent the user from using too much Ki... and the array would be hidden. This way, the weapon would be at the standard level of a 1st level Ki fighter burst of power.

It might not be that strong, but it is enough to topple a 5th level Ki fighter Ki field. And the metal bullet would do the finishing touch.

After finishing the drawing, Xin Ja showed a satisfied smile on his face. He then takes out a couple of blueprint pieces he has been working on and showed a serious expression upon looking at it. These pieces of the blueprint are something that he saw from his unique vision.

When he was being taught about machinery and science at that time, he became interested and in fact very happy to know more things that could have been rendered as mysterious in the eyes of the many. The elements are treated as a mystery in the eyes of the common people. But in this lesson he has learned about them which opened his eyes to a new world.

Then comes the machines…

When this topic was in the lesson, Xin Ja seemed to have a deep interest in them. And this is where he found the first gun and decided to design the Ki buster. It was a fascinating world where he discovers different kinds of machines and their functions.

His interest grew and his curiosity deepens. However, he has one problem… these machines are not easily built or manufactured.

He needed something that is called a computer. It is a machine that is very complicated for his young mind for now. And after he is able to create that he then can make the box that could magically produce parts… It is called the 3D printer.

And that would still take him some time to do.

"The future is long… but it is bright… very bright indeed…" he muttered to himself as he smiles in excitement.
