"What's going on?"
Guhan and Koo Rok-in got off the armored hover car together. They saw quite a few sword wielders getting off with them. They were all surrounding the front of the train, poking their heads out and pointing. They didn't know what they were doing.
"The road ahead has been completely destroyed," one of the sword wielders said.
Gu Han's figure flashed and appeared in front of the train. Sure enough, the highway overpass had been broken. Looking around, he couldn't see where the other end of the broken bridge was. Gu Han could see at least three to four kilometers away at a glance, which meant that the destroyed highway was at least more than four kilometers away.
"About twelve kilometers of the highway has been completely destroyed!"
A sword wielder suddenly flew down from the sky and landed next to Guhan. This was the Howling Tiger Sword Spirit, who was responsible for leading the team. Only Spirit Sword wielder could fly, so the Howling Tiger Sword Spirit went to check on the damage to the highway.
The result wasn't good. A full twelve kilometers of highway had been destroyed. This wasn't a simple repair job.
"Dean, what should we do next?
Do you need my help? "Guhan asked the Howling Tiger Sword Spirit.
"Haha, Comrade Guhan, you've definitely never been on an armored hover car before!"
The Howling Tiger Sword Spirit laughed, "When it comes to repairing roads, even if you want to do it yourself, you won't be able to help much. It's better to leave it to the machines. You guys just need to stay in the train and rest!" After saying this, the Howling Tiger Sword Spirit flew back into the train.
Although Gu Han's knowledge was vast, he didn't know everything like the back of his hand. For example, he didn't know much about armored hover trains.
Fortunately, there was information about this in his personal terminal. After looking through it, Guhan finally understood the reason.
It turned out that because of Yuan Kou's destruction, armored hover cars often encountered these kinds of road cracks. As a result, all the armored hover cars produced in the future were equipped with an automatic road repair system.
This was a large road repair vehicle that was attached to the front of the armored hover car.
Under normal circumstances, this vehicle was installed in a resource metal box. Whenever the road was damaged, it would be installed in front of the armored hover car.
After pouring in the pavement materials, the construction vehicle could automatically repair the damaged highway. As long as there were enough materials, even a highway that was hundreds of meters long could be repaired.
Digging holes in mountains and building bridges in rivers, he was omnipotent.
Because the highways were often destroyed by Yuan Kou, the armored hovercraft had to repair the roads in addition to being used for transportation.
Repairing the 12-kilometer-long highway was not difficult, but the biggest problem was that it would take time. The repair speed of the construction vehicle was about one kilometer per hour, which meant that the armored hovercraft would have to stay in this area for the next 12 hours, unable to move quickly. Once it was attacked by Yuan Kou, it would have to defend with all its might. There was no way to escape.
Fortunately, Yuzhang City had already anticipated this situation, so they had prepared five times more sword-bearers than usual to protect the armored hover train.
There was nothing more to say. All the Sword Bearers returned to the armored hovercrafts.
However, the armored hovercraft's eight radars were all turned on, carefully scanning everything within a 100-kilometer radius. Under the scanning of these radars, except for a few rare types of Yuan Kou, all Dragon-Class and below Yuan Kou had nowhere to hide.
At the same time, all the observation windows of the armored hovercraft were opened. There were ten Sword Bearers taking turns to observe the situation outside through these windows. Once they found anything out of the ordinary, they would immediately report it.
For safety's sake, the conductor also ordered the train's dimensional protection system to be turned on.
Although this Dimensional Wall Protection System was smaller than all the Dimensional Wall Protection Systems in Yuzhang City, it was still a genuine Dimensional Wall Protection System with 4 million energy values.
This amount of energy points might not be able to withstand a few attacks from a Universe Level Yuan Kou, but it could serve as a warning. There wouldn't be a situation where a Universe Level Yuan Kou would be able to get close to them without them noticing.
All in all, the armored hovercraft's defense system was very complete. Unless they encountered a Universe Level Yuan Kou, they would be able to last five to six minutes. Even if they couldn't defend, they would still have a chance to escape.
…
"It's okay, rest well!"
After returning to his room, Guhan faintly said to Lucifer. After that, he closed his eyes and laid on the bed, as if he had already fallen asleep.
"Master, Senior Ju's question just now …" Lu Xihua recalled the question Koo Rok-in had just asked, and her heart palpitated.
Twenty days had passed since the impeachment of Emperor Bloodline. During these twenty days, Lu Xihua had been thinking about this question all the time, but she didn't have the guts to ask Guhan.
It wasn't until today, when Koo Rok-in asked this question that she finally couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked Guhan.
After the impeachment of Emperor Bloodline was finally announced, Guhan suddenly won with a million votes. Lu Xihua was cheering for her master.
Guhan suddenly pulled Lu Xihua to his side. As he patted Lu Xihua's head, he announced to the Yuzhang City audience through the live broadcast, "From now on, I, Guhan, will resign from the position of Sword Pavilion Master and pass the position to my disciple, Lu Xihua!"
"What?" Hearing Guhan's words, everyone, including Liu Lei and Lu Xihua, was dumbfounded.
What did that mean?
Didn't you, Guhan, win?
Why are you resigning?
This is one of the two highest positions in Yuzhang City!
The dignified Sword Pavilion Master!
How many people would risk their lives to get this position, and you're resigning just like that?
More importantly, you said you would pass the position to Lu Xihua. Who is this Lu Xihua??
Since Lu Xihua is your disciple, and you are a famed sword-bearer, according to common logic, isn't your disciple a treasured sword-bearer?
He might even be an ancient sword-bearer!
Guhan ignored the crowd's discussion and pulled Lu Xihua to face him. Solemnly, he asked her, "Lu Xihua of Yuzhang City, are you willing to take over the position of Yuzhang City's 27th Sword Pavilion Master from me?"
Hearing Guhan's question, Lu Xihua instinctively wanted to reject it.
However, when she saw the determination in Guhan's eyes, she could not bring herself to reject it. Instead, she nodded and said, "I'm willing."
For Lu Xihua, it felt like he was saying these words at a wedding.
Thus, in the dead silence, Lu Xihua successfully took over the position of Sword Pavilion Master and became the 27th Sword Pavilion Master of Yuzhang City. She was also the first person in the human world to take over the position of Sword Pavilion Master as an ordinary person in the past 1,000 years.
…
"Why do you think?" Guhan did not directly answer Lu Xihua's question. Instead, he asked her a question.
"I …" Lu Xihua stuttered for a long time but could not say the second word.
"Do you think I'm purposely making those old guys from Mount Emperor angry?"
Guhan said what Lu Xihua was thinking. "Do you think you're just a tool for me to vent my anger?"
Lu Xihua did not speak. Her silence was a tacit agreement.
"Whatever you think!
You're right, but also wrong. If you really want to know the answer to this question, wait until the day you become an Emperor sword-bearer. I'll tell you then. "Guhan closed his eyes again.
"Jiandi!"
These two words were completely illusory to Lu Xihua. Only one Sword Emperor could be born out of 100,000 sword bearers. How could she, Lu Xihua, become one of these 100,000 sword bearers?
This was simply impossible.
"Master, I feel like I'm a joke now. Everyone on the forum is scolding me. They say I'm the most useless Sword Pavilion Master since ancient times … They even said a lot of nasty things. Master, please take back your words!
I really can't be the Sword Pavilion Master. I've been in the Sword Pavilion for ten days, and even the attendants didn't look me in the eye. I'm a complete joke! "Lu Xihua's eyes were filled with tears when he said this.
Under Guhan and Liu Lei's coercion, she had stayed in Sword Pavilion for ten days. She had taken over all the work in Sword Pavilion.
These ten days were an unforgettable experience for her. In these ten days, no one had ever taken the initiative to speak to her, and no one had even looked at her. It was as if she was staying on an isolated island in the middle of the sea, and this island was only the size of a foot. All she could do every day was stand on the island and be exposed to the sun. These ten days of living had exhausted her, and she screamed herself hoarse.
"You're a joke now. However, when you become an Emperor Sword level sword wielder, this joke will no longer be a joke. It will become a myth. Do you understand?"
Lu Xihua could only nod. However, she really did not understand.
…
According to the plot of all novels, within the twelve hours of waiting in the armored levitating train, there would definitely be Yuan Kou attacking. Then, there would be a fierce battle. The main character would perform bravely and defeat all the Yuan Kou, ushering in the climax of the plot.
Unfortunately, things did not develop according to this plot. After twelve hours, when they woke up, everything was normal. The broken highway had also been repaired.
Of course, this period of time was not peaceful. It was said that the sword wielder in charge of guarding killed more than four hundred Yuan Kou. However, none of these Yuan Kou were above Dragon Level. There was no need for Guhan to do anything.
However, it was worth mentioning that the highway's road surface was still very badly damaged. Along the way, most of the time was used to repair the highway's road surface. When they were halfway through the journey, a whole four days had passed. There were only four days left before the Octagon of the Eight Academies.
The Roaring Tiger Sword Spirit had already prepared two countermeasures. Once it discovered that there was a large section of the road in front of them that had been destroyed, it would immediately bring Guhan and the others to Yanjing City in an even faster levitating flying car.
The Roaring Tiger Sword Spirit's preparations were not in vain. On the fifth day, it discovered a section of the road that was more than twenty kilometers long.
However, the Roaring Tiger Sword Spirit's second countermeasure could not be used. The culprit who had destroyed this section of the road was currently fighting in front of them.
If this had happened before the apocalypse, this scene would have been like a Chinese TV series with maximum realistic effects!
Ultraman Tyro vs. Ultraman Savin was a little excited just thinking about it.
