The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1187 - Myrth: 158

Chapter 1187

(Unedited)

…

The strength and power of a 13th level Ki Adept is not something that can be easily overcome by just any gear. He needed a more powerful gear to enhance his power and be able to at least fight against those that are powerful than him.

He did not want to experience the same thing that happened last time when he was beaten without a fight.

But the problem is how to do it?

Xin Ja did not hesitate to ask his father for some materials that are usable by those in Ki Adept. But to his dismay, his father could not provide for them.

He looks at the sky and began to think of other ideas, but it seems futile.

No matter how hard he thinks, all of his ideas are sure to fail.

So Xin Ja could not help but heave a deep sigh.

He leans himself down on his worktable and then rolls the pen while just calmly looking at it.

Suddenly, he was interrupted by the sound of knocking on the door.

"Young master Xin?" the voice of Yi Terai could be heard from outside.

"Yeah, come in!" Xin Ja called out.

Yi Terai opened the door and enters his room. She is carrying a pot of tea and two cups on a tray.

"You seem to be thinking deeply?" she asked as she filled one cup and handed it to him.

Xin Ja nodded his head and accepted the cup then carefully took a sip of the hot tea.

"Sigh… I don't know how I can beat that Ra Gaofang if ever I see him again… Although he is crippled, as a 13th level Ki Adept, it would not be that easy to defeat him with my current strength." Xin Ja muttered.

"Well… you are very good in using formation and arrays, why not lead him to a trap. That way you can have an advantage…" Yi Terai said with a smile.

"Hmm… That is a good, idea and I have thought about that too… but it is not feasible. They would know."

The two went silent for a while, and soon the tea in the pot was finished but Xin Ja still could not come up with any solution.

"Young Master… remember how that Ra Gaofeng lost his arm? I think we can also do that." She said as if she has a grasp of an idea.

"Hmm… But those large weapons can only be carried by Mechas… and the distance is not that far. It is too unreliable for now."

"Yes… Maybe, but if you can shoot him from a long distance then he would not be able to detect it, right?"

"No… I think he will. As long as I directed my killing intent towards him, he would feel it."

"Really? How is that possible?"

"Ra Gaofang felt it at that time. I saw the changes in his expression…" Xin Ja said as he recalled what had happened.

"Ah… So that's why only his arms were destroyed…"

"Yes, if he did not notice it then you could have killed him back then."

"Well… You have to train to control your killing intent then…" she said as if grasping on another idea.

"Young Master, I think you can train it in this forest…" she said with an excited expression.

"You see… there is an animal in this forest that is very sensitive to gazing and observation. Every time this creature could feel someone looking at it, it would immediately run away. It is the hardest creature in this forest to hunt. We could not even capture even though we are local here." Yi Terai explained.

"What… What kind of creature is that?"

"The Misty Fox…" she replied with a grin.

"The Misty Fox is a native of this forest and is very cunning, fast, agile, and alert. It could only be caught using traps. But that would not even be useful in catching it most of the time. You cannot hunt these creatures are they tend to be more cautious and alert than any animals in this forest… If you want to practice hiding your killing intent, these creatures are the best way to train…" she explained.

"So all I need is to trap one to get one to practice with, right?"

"Silly… You don't have to hunt in the forest… we already have some of them in the village. You only have to visit the market."

With that, the two quickly went to the market to find a Misty Fox.

What Yi Terai said is true. If he could control his killing intent, then there is a chance that he could use his Ki buster to assassinate the one who wanted to infiltrate the village. That one who is leading the Silver Glade Merchant Company in the 5th fortress village might be as strong as Ra Gaofang, but with the power of the new Ki buster rifle, he would be able to deal with him with surety as long as he did not use his Ki field.

Like any normal person, the only difference between the levels is the strength and quantity of the Ki that one person can use. The higher the level, the more powerful their physical strength and their Ki is. But aside from that, every one of them is still made of flesh, bones, and blood.

  While thinking to this point, Xin Ja could not help but feel a bit excited. He now has an idea on how to deal with his target, all he has to do now is to train and practice on how to conceal his killing intent.

Upon entering the marketplace, the two went directly to the animal seller.

And luckily for them, there is a mature misty fox in a cage.

Xin Ja did not hesitate to buy the fox and quickly carried it to the workshop.

On the second floor of the workshop, there is a wide area where they would test the range of the compressed air weapon of the Mechas.

So now, he is going to use this place to train on hiding his killing intent.

Xin Ja set up a formation array and at the same time some hiding spot for the fox. After setting up everything, he quickly delves in and began his training.

…

Meanwhile, in the 708 IB base in the town of Tiig, Commander Zhang Baguan is currently talking to a group of people inside his office. One of those people in this office is the one that Xin Ja is currently targeting, Lin Roxian, the 8th elder of the Silver Glade Merchant company and is the one assigned and handling the company's businesses on the southern border of the kingdom.

"Commander Zhang, it seems that the brat that the fool Ra Gaofang is hunting is still not caught, and the stand of the army is favorable to that boy. What do you think would happen if he suddenly returns?" Elder Lin said with a smile.

"Hmm… That boy is nothing… he is a mere 1st level, I can handle him myself." Zhang Baguan said with a sneer.

"Really? Have you forgotten his contribution to the army? If you deal with him, what do you think would that Wang old guy do to you?" Elder Lin said while shifting his gaze to Commander Zhang as if wanting to see his expression.

When Commander Zhang heard that, his expression suddenly darkens. He would not want to deal with that reckless old man. Although he is a commander right now and at level 15, how could he resist the power of someone at the Ki Master level?

"I think what you have to do should be easy… Sometimes, no one should know about some things… right?" Elder Lin said with a crafty smile on his face.

Commander Zhang could not help but nod his head to the shrewdness of this Elder Lin. It is no wonder that Ra Gaofang is not comparable to this person even though they have the same strength.

The two began to discuss some business before Elder Lin and his entourage left the base town.

While Commander Zhang watches Elder Lin and his convoy leaving the town from the top of the walls he could not help but frown.

What that guy suggested is a feasible solution to get rid of that brat. However, it would also cause him some headaches.

He did not know why the 6th prince is also interfering with this. Ever since the news of the new weapon, the Mecha, came out… the 6th prince suddenly became determined to either get or dispose of that young brat.

However, getting him to their side is already almost impossible. So the only action is to get rid of him then.

With that thought in mind, he could not help but heave a deep sigh in his heart.

"Being pawns sometimes are too troublesome…" he muttered as he turn around and left the top of the town wall.

On the horizon, the long convoy of Elder Lin slowly snakes through the darkness of the night disappearing beneath the shadows of the twin moon.
