And Guo Jing, who had never used weapons before, now had two Remingtons crossed on his back, several grenades hanging at his waist, and was wearing a bulletproof vest. His look was somewhat out of ce in this era.


    Not just Guo Jing, but many nearby, including Huang Yaoshi, were dressed simrly.


    While Canada’s arms aren’t as rampant as Big Beautiful’s, ska does have a military base belonging to Big Beautiful.


    This was considered the first batch of arms that had been transported back.


    If it wasn’t for the hundred-meter cliff, perhaps even more could have been brought back.


    "Guo Da Xia’s legend is something this youngdy has heard about since childhood, and it has always beenmentable that our grasnds have been at odds with such great heroes like yourself. Now that we can fight side by side, it is an honor for this youngdy."


    Zhao Min said with a graceful smile, bowing respectfully to Guo Jing.


    Though Cheng Lixue was the decision-maker in the team, this foolish female knight, even with the assistance of Yang Guo and Armin, was at a disadvantage when facing Zhao Min.


    If it weren’t for Tao Yu’s mental seeds controlling them, they might have even been overthrown.


    As they headed south, not only were the four thousand grasnd cavalry obedient, but members of the Five Elements Banner and the six major sects, who were secretly embedded, also began to see Zhao Min in a new light.


    This little enchantress proved to be surprisingly reliable when she was one of their own.


    "Amitabha, it is an honor for this old monk to witness Guo Da Xia and Huang Niang Zi," Kong Zhi said, representing the high-level practitioners of the six major sects with his greeting.


    Their sudden arrival with troops, facilitated by Cheng Lixue and Yang Guo, did not lead to any misunderstandings.


    But these descendants from a hundred yearster were indeed causing even the martial artists of the Divine Sculpture era to be momentarily lost in thought.


    Fortunately, with the Titans, Abyss, and Deep Abyss already appearing, their capacity for eptance was quite strong.


    "Master, you tter us. Our worlds are now connected; hence, there is no need to maintain such a viewpoint. Let each person be assessed on their own merits," Guo Jing said, still demonstrating profound humility. His values prevented him from treating these older generations as if they were his juniors.


    Even after learning from them that he would ultimately die in battle at Xiangyang, he felt no regret, only concern for his wife and children bearing burdens.


    Compared to the original course of history, the cmity of the Titans now seemed to be a more significant nuisance.


    "Uncle Guo, are these what you call guns? How effective are they against Titans?" Yang Guo inquired with curiosity at his side.


    He had been quite excited throughout the journey.


    Following his mother’s teachings, Yang Guo had always aimed to be a great hero, and nothing had changed thus far.


    And ording to these people from a hundred yearster, he himself was the famous ’Divine Sculpture Hero’, rooting out evil and ensuring peace.


    "Yes, these firearms are guns, but currently, only those sniper rifles can prate a Titan’s neck directly and kill it. Other firearms still require hitting the back of the neck from behind.


    These weapons are easy to use and powerful; it’s best if everyone is equipped with one, if possible, but be economical with the ammunition," Guo Jing exined as he took out his two guns and provided a simple demonstration.


    While Guo Jing’s Dragon Subduing Palms were mightily powerful, external attacks could not match the range of firearms, and the expenditure was substantial. With his profound inner strength, striking from a distance could not exceed two hundred meters, unlike Zhang Wuji, who had reached the ultimate state of the Nine Yang Divine Skill and had an inexhaustible inner strength.


    Now that he had guns, it filled the gap in long-rangebat. Coupled with a bulletproof vest to prevent sneak attacks, his overallbat capability had increased rapidly.


    The average physical condition of martial artists made them particrly adept at mastering firearms. Huang Yaoshi, for example, carried a Barrett, especially for dealing with Aberrants.


    Dharma Master Yideng, Old Naughty Boy, and others who had already arrived were also armed with their respective weapons, and Qiu Qianren was even holding a Gatling gun, which paired with his monkish appearance added a touch of humor.


    Just as Guo Jing and the reinforcements who had traveled a long distance to help were discussing the situation, seven or eight oddly shaped ’martial artists’ in the crowd were also looking a bit somber.


    "After going back to confirm, someone had alreadypleted the Chosen One’s mission meant for Guo Jing, which was quite frustrating; we got nothing out of it."


    "The guy up front is inhuman; he spilled all the beans. We had no way to trade information for better treatment, and they are still so cautious around us. They must have spoken ill of the Pioneers!"


    ```


    "Ah, a step ahead is always a step ahead; there’s nothing we can do, the quest for information rted to Inner Strength is gone."


    "Damn it!"


    ```


    Several people were quietly sighing in frustration here; they were a team that had specifically formed after hearing that powerful natives had been encountered in the Northern Country, eight Inner City Pioneers!


    Among the eight, four were elite mid-level partners, with the two strongestparable to seasoned mid-level elites; their strength was notable.


    In the eyes of the big shots, they were recognized figures, and the two leading them were descendants of Inner City noble families; one of the families even had one of the seven great Inner City kings of the new Development Zone at its helm.


    It could be said that the team before them could already be considered the superstar group of the current Development Zone, not much inferior to the Bru team that wanted to cause trouble for Dadarma back then—and in terms of background, even higher.


    That’s precisely why they dared to undertake such a daunting task of world pioneering, which was clearly no simple matter.


    When they encountered those martial artists along the way, who soared back and forth, they didn’t choose to confront them head-on like the others, but instead tried to blend in and follow along.


    But they found out all the good stuff was gone!


    Truly, not a single drop left!


    "Ah, I hope we can learn a few skills for free, can’t juste here for nothing..."


    "Boss, was there any word from the big shots when we went back?"


    Someone began to ask with a bit of hope.


    "The task and benefits were directly handled by the two from the Suns. Although we don’t know exactly who did it, Shaolin monks and Quanzhen Taoists who have taken on coaching roles have already entered the Northern Country and started moving south. I guess by the time we return, the teaching gyms will have opened up."


    N?v(el)B\\jnn


    A man without any signs of foreign imnts or mechanical modifications, with a pale, beardless face, also let out a sigh, his words tinged with resentment.


    Is it easy for us? Traveling long distances, riding motorcycles across two countries, thousands of miles and even crossing the sea, and in the end, we got nothing!


    "But we definitely have to learn the skills, it’s just a pity we still don’t know which of their Inner Strengths are better, it’s a headache. We want to learn from Guo Jing, but the man simply doesn’t have the time to deal with us."


    "Should we use some tactics?"


    "I think we can; where do we have the time to waste with them?"


    "Also, we don’t know if those guys who came over are still here, and if they still have any good stuff."


    "Let’s assess their strength first; we can try probing."


    "Heh, with the big shots and several senior partners not here, what team in the new Development Zone canpare with us?"


    "Could the other side have connections with some big shot? This time the reward isn’t small, is it."


    "Do big shots intend to protect them for a lifetime just forpleting a task? After the benefits are given, it’s a done deal with the payment."


    "Heh heh, as if we don’t have our own backers?"


    The group spoke in themon tongue, not fearing others might understand; they were practically conspiring aloud.


    Actually, everything was still fine, but the more they talked about it, the more riled up they became!


    Riding off-road motorcycles, they rattled their way all the way to ska, climbing over hills and mountains, and then rode on the natives’ boats to get here; every day, they slept no more than four hours, enduring the hardships of traveling through the wind and sleeping in the open. Only they knew how bitter this journey was.


    They thought they had gotten an early start and that such significant efforts would have a payoff, but in the end, they didn’t even catch the tail end of any benefits.


    Their martial hearts crumbled.


    But just then, several fireworks signals suddenly appeared in the sky ahead; even these Pioneers nched at the sight.


    It meant that fast Titans were approaching, and not just one! Stay updated through empire


    Compared to the slow-witted regr Titans, the fast Titans were undoubtedly much more troublesome, and an assault mixed with them among the regr Titans always inevitably brought certain losses.


    The walls of Xiangyang City were over three Zhang (approximately 30 feet) tall and just as thick, but there were already several ces with significant gaps, caused by the fast Titans...
