Cursed Immortality

At the west of the 55th floor of Alchemy Guild was the Shooting Range to test the firearms.

At this moment, Rita, followed by four judges and Jacob, entered a private area within the shooting range to test his final product.

While Rita's eyes were shimmering with anticipation, those four Judges were not so optimistic as they only thought it was finally coming to an end and thought all kinds of words they would use as 'advice' for this arrogant youngster.

Rita, without waiting for a second, pressed a button on the control panel of the shooting range before a white mannequin emerged from the slide opening in the floor of the shooting range.

Those Senior Grandmasters' eyes lit up when they saw the white mannequin while Jacob was dismissively looking at it without any interest. He just wanted to get it over with since he had already achieved what he wanted.

Rita looked at everything and explained, "Gentlemen, as you all might've already guessed, that dummy is Tier-2-Extraordinary Rank, physically. If Grandmaster Jack's bullet is really basic type-1, then it can easily penetrate that Tier-2 Exaradian dummy.

"Now, I want your permission as four judges to start the final evaluation process. Do I have your permission? Or do you want to check the bullet crafted by Grandmaster first?"

Rita coolly showed the golden bullet in her hand, which was the inferior version of the Friction Killer Jacob once created for his first titan sniper rifle, but no one knows that.

Those old men closely scanned the bullet, and after making sure it was the same one they saw Jacob creating, they all nodded.

"You may proceed with the recording!" Bart stated with a dignified look.

They all had to record every final evaluation process when it came to a Senior Grandmaster test.

Because even if the person in question passed their discreet eyes, they still had to send the recording to higher command for the final assessment, and only then the Senior Grandmaster Rank will be issued.

Rita also didn't delay after getting their approval and opened the recording function of her star watch before she loaded the golden bullet into her Silver Killer Gun.

After taking a deep breath with great expectation, she pointed her beloved gun toward the dummy, and all the others looked with knowing expressions.

They were all guessing that this bullet would completely bounce off the dummy... until the trigger was pulled.

'Boommm…'

A small sonic boom suddenly rang, which could be heard on the 55th floor, and one could only imagine the reaction of those judges as they nearly went deaf by that deafening sound.

However, Rita didn't care about the sound as her eyes were wide open when she looked at the dummy as if she had seen a ghost.

Noticing Rita's expression, those judges who were about to complain suddenly looked toward the dummy as well, and their eyes went wide as well.

Because right now, the dummy's head was completely gone, shattered into fragments all over the private shooting range, and not only that, but they could see a bullet hole in the metal wall behind.

Although the bullet didn't manage to penetrate the thick metal wall all the way to the other side, the fact remains that the bullet hadn't aimed at that wall at all. It had penetrated the dummy first before it went into the wall, which means the bullet velocity was already more than half exhausted when it hit the metal wall!

This means that bullet could even headshot a Tier-3 or even Tier-4 extraordinary, and it was just a Basic-Type-1 bullet.

They all felt chills in their spine, and they stiffly turned their head toward the creator of this bullet, who was still nonchalant about the deadly weapon he had just created.

This also made another fact clear to them as well as Rita.

The reason why a Type-1 bullet formula was so expensive was not that the guild was being petty but because it is truly worth that much!

Just imagining someone holding a gun filled with type-1 bullets, even those mighty tier-6 extraordinary experts had to dread that person, much less if an entire army was equipped with these types of guns and bullets.

Do they still need magic anymore when the technology could do far better than complex magic, which was limited to one's potential?

This question was really worth mulling over.

But right now, they all had this dreadful yet respectful expression as they looked at the masked man who had created this terrifying bullet and made them think in this direction.

Rita finally snapped out of her daze and couldn't help but tremble when she thought of how Jacob had already traded this bullet's formula with her, and she had already watched how he created it.

She had profited from this big time!

"So, do I pass?" Jacob coolly questioned as he looked at those Senior Grandmaster's pale faces.

He was now wondering if he should've toned down the bullet a bit more after seeing their astonished and fearful expression.

But he didn't care much since the guild was selling these formulas. Then this means there's no harm in showing it to them or even trading it for his own growth. He no longer cared about this simple knowledge anymore.

Bart stiffly smiled and nodded, "O-of course, Mr. Jack, you really are worthy of Senior Grandmaster Rank, and we have underestimated you before. Please don't take it personally. We were simply too ignorant."

As an old wily fox, Bart would be a fool to offend Jacob since he had just achieved something that even Braylon couldn't when he was Jacob's age.

Jacob was now officially the youngest Senior Grandmaster in the history of Rare Plains, and he could create deadly weapons that could be used by anyone and might change the hierarchy of power if they were made in mass.

So, it was far better to befriend such a person than offend him, especially when he will get the position of a permanent member as well, whether Braylon likes it or not.

Everyone had the same thought, but they had no idea that Jacob was already had joined the Zodiac Alliance and was only a step away from getting rid of his reserve member status!
