Chapter 85 Spirit Armor Battle Maiden!

【26 hours remaining until the Young Queen Extermination Operation.】

Master Wang, who had been working on blacksmithing all night, carried a large sword wrapped in black cloth out of the supply station’s workshop.

His expression was serious, his gaze firm, and he mentally reviewed the logic behind it once again.

【The basic cultivation method is revealed, and it spreads. The Thirteen Institutes obtain it and apply it to other situations. The existing spiritualists within the Thirteen Institutes learn to utilize Qi. It’s highly likely that the Thirteen Institutes will give birth to several true Nascent Soul level demons who will gain control of the world. The Daoist Master is defeated.】

This won’t do.

【By taking out the Crystal Core Artifact, he allowed Ling Tong to demonstrate its power and lethality against the Blade Beasts, thereby increasing his own value and reinforcing the D5 War Zone military’s confidence in confronting the Thirteenth Institute Headquarters. This also allowed him to control the artifact’s development progress and enrich his cultivation.】

That works great!

There is another key point here.

Once the crystal core artifacts are made available, the military will have a way to utilize the spiritual energy of the crystal cores, which will naturally break the monopoly of spiritualists over crystal cores.

That would give him more opportunities to mix crystal cores!

In Master Wang’s eyes, all so-called regulations and laws are based on the size of one’s fist.

therefore!

Wang Jixuan gripped the hilt of the sword and gently shook it, causing the black cloth covering the greatsword to fall off, revealing its true form.

Its design is somewhat ordinary, and it is made of ordinary iron. It has a 16-centimeter-wide double-edged blade and a hilt that can be held with one or two hands. The blade is 10 centimeters wide in the middle, as if covered with an outer skin, and has two pieces of the skull of a pterosaur embedded in it.

Its two sides of the blade have a basic sense of symmetry, the tip of the blade is slightly rounded, and lines that look like electric shock patterns extend from the spine of the blade towards the blade and the tip.

Woo, woo!

Wang Jixuan twirled his sword, held the greatsword in his right hand, and handed it to Ling Tong.

Ling Tong took the sword with both hands, and the mechanical arm held the hilt, holding it upright in front of him.

The sword flashed with a light blue light, much like the Demon-Slaying Dagger.

The spiritual energy in the air slowly flowed into its blade.

Ling Tong swung the greatsword a few times lightly; the weight of the greatsword was no burden at all for her mechanical arm.

The group gathered around to examine it closely, and Uncle Tai and Zhou Zhengde brought over a thick piece of the Blade Beast’s exoskeleton.

Ling Tong held the sword forward and gently touched it. The azure light released ripples, as if it were poking a piece of white paper, easily piercing the blade beast bone.

Ling Tong drew his longsword, and the blue light on it changed from dim to bright.

She could no longer suppress the smile on her lips.

Uncle Tai shouted, “Let’s do the continuous chopping test!”

“Okay,” Ling Tong agreed, and once his spiritual energy was fully restored, he began to slash again.

Master Wang wasn’t in a hurry. He stood aside with his hands behind his back, watching the group of people marvel at it.

He quite enjoyed seeing their naive and unsophisticated appearance.

This is nothing.

After a simple test, it was found that this greatsword absorbs spiritual energy from the air and can be swung three times in a row to easily break through the exoskeleton of the Blade Beast, after which it needs to charge for twelve seconds.

It can automatically recharge itself with air after one or two swings.

Ling Tong was very satisfied with it: “It is indeed a precious treasure.”

“cough!”

Master Wang coughed:

“Very good, you have figured out its basic use, that is, its simple use as a weapon.”

He looked around, then turned to Zheng Shiduo and said seriously, “Captain Zheng, before I reveal its true form, I need to confirm one thing with you.”

“What’s wrong? The way you’re looking at me is making me a little uneasy.” Zheng Shiduo’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

Wang Jixuan stared into Zheng Shiduo’s eyes:

“I suggest you, Captain Zheng, go into hiding. If what I’m about to show is leaked, your identity will determine that you’ll be the first person suspected.”

“If you choose to stay, I will treat you as a true comrade-in-arms.”

Zheng Shiduo asked in a low voice, “So, do you want me to stay, or do you want me to hide?”

Wang Jixuan smiled but remained silent.

Everyone looked at Zheng Shiduo.

Zheng Shiduo pondered. He was just a freak, not a fool. How could he not hear the hidden meaning in this?

He already sensed that if he stayed to witness what was to come, it would mean that he had to completely sever ties with Professor Zhuang.

Professor Zhuang was not only his creator, but also his teacher, savior, and longtime friend…

Because of the Kong Nu incident, Professor Zhuang has lost control over the psionicists on the D5 front, and Zheng Shiduo no longer needs to report to Professor Zhuang.

Zheng Shiduo understood that this was the best opportunity to enter the inner circle of this extraordinary tycoon…

“Then I’ll avoid it.”

Zheng Shiduo took two steps back and turned to walk back to his room.

Wang Jixuan did not stop him much.

This was also for Zheng Shiduo’s sake, to avoid him getting involved in unnecessary trouble.

Zhou Zhengde yawned and asked, “What is it? You’ve really piqued my interest.”

“One type is crystal nucleus processing technology.”

Wang Jixuan instructed, “Turn the security measures here to the maximum.”

“Okay,” Ling Tong’s robotic arm operated simply, and the supply station activated its electromagnetic shielding.

Then, in front of Ling Tong, Zhou Zhengde, Wu Man, and Uncle Tai’s family, Master Wang took out two crystal cores that were about to run out of spiritual energy from his pocket, put his hands together, and slowly opened them like playing an accordion.

Several emerald green talismans floated out, and two crystal cores hovered in front of the talismans.

Wang Jixuan’s eyes gleamed with golden light.

With a slight tremor of his sword finger, the spiritual energy within the crystal core was rapidly released, which he absorbed directly without wasting any.

In just over twenty seconds, the two crystal cores crackled and tiny cracks appeared on their surfaces.

“Show!”

Wang Jixuan gave a soft shout, and a talisman emitted a faint green light.

Everyone was shocked!

Two semi-transparent miniature Blade Beasts, one a low-level basic Blade Beast and the other a low-level mimic Blade Beast, slowly crawled out from the shattered crystal core!

The soul of the Blade Beast!

They roared at Wang Jixuan while simultaneously shooting towards his forehead!

Master Wang casually replied, “Lock.”

The second talisman was activated, and two thin chains appeared out of thin air, binding the two remnant souls of the Blade Beasts into dumplings and pulling them back to the talisman.

Everyone was stunned.

Ling Tong watched Wang Jixuan’s actions intently.

Two crystal cores fell to the ground with a tinkling sound. Wang Jixuan pulled with his right hand, and a small cage that Uncle Tai had prepared in advance flew over, inside which was a ‘classic laboratory version’ white mouse.

“Look,” Wang Jixuan simply reminded him, pressing the remnant soul of the mimicry beast into the white mouse’s body.

The next second, the white mouse began to tremble uncontrollably, its body engorged with blood and swelled up. Suddenly, it slammed into the iron cage, tearing and screaming incessantly. Then, with a snap, its head exploded.

The remnant soul of the bladed beast flew out again, still shooting towards Wang Jixuan.

Wang Jixuan raised his sword finger, blocking the remnant soul of the Blade Beast, and tapped it lightly with a faint light emanating from his fingertip.

The remnant soul of the Blade Beast then shattered.

Wan Xiaoqi couldn’t help but shudder a few times.

Wang Jixuan explained with a smile:

“Although I don’t understand psionic infusion experiments, I think you should now know why the success rate of psionic infusion experiments is so low.”

“The fragmented souls of the Blade Beasts hide within the crystal core. They have no consciousness, and once the energy in the crystal core is drained, they will jump out and attack.”

“This should be a mechanism by which the Blade Beasts prevent humans from using their crystal cores.”

Zhou Zhengde asked urgently, “Can we tell the military about this matter—the fact that the crystal core contains the soul of a blade beast?”

“By showing you these things, I am tacitly acknowledging that the Commander-in-Chief already knows.”

Wang Jixuan quickly said:

“Moreover, I have discovered that many soldiers in the army like to wear pendants like Zheng Shiduo’s as a symbol of honor.”

“I have already reported this to Commander Ling Tong, and this is why it cannot be worn.”

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

“However, under natural conditions, the spiritual energy of the crystal core will not be completely exhausted, but there are still some concerns.”

“I’ll make the call right away!”

Zhou Zhengde turned to run, but was stopped by Wang Jixuan.

“There’s still a part that hasn’t been demonstrated yet, Zhengde, don’t worry.”

Zhou Zhengde patiently waited, and everyone’s gaze fell on the remaining remnant soul of the mimicry blade beast.

Master Wang took out a demon-slaying dagger he had crafted on the spur of the soul, slowly approached it, and gently poked it a few times.

The remnant soul showed no reaction; the Demon-Slaying Dagger simply pierced through on its own.

Then, Wang Jixuan took out a black disc with a diameter of ten centimeters from his back pocket, which was obviously also made of the exoskeleton of a Blade Beast.

The disc emitted a pale yellow light.

It slowly approached the remnant soul, which was clearly pushed and squeezed. The remnant soul kept hitting the disc, and Bagua marks appeared on the disc.

A shallow ripple spread out, dismembering and shattering the remnant soul of the Blade Beast, and also pushing several talismans.

“The Eight Trigrams Guardian Plate, like the Demon-Slaying Dagger, utilizes air energy recovery.”

Master Wang tossed the disc to Ling Tong.

“It’s just a small gadget. Besides being able to withstand the impact of ordinary remnant souls, it can also effectively withstand the mental impact of blade beasts.”

“It’s useful to carry this with you at all times, and keep it as close to your head as possible.”

“Okay,” Ling Tong agreed, then handed the plate to Sister Wan.

It was Wan Jie and Tai Shu’s job to figure out how to integrate this disc into the combat girl’s mechanical arm.

Wan Xiaoqi asked in a low voice, “Respected Teacher Wang, are you about to officially give human civilization a helping hand?”

“Now we can publish at least ten authoritative papers! Ten! And I’ll be the third author on all of them!”

Uncle Tai clenched his fists and kept growling, his breathing becoming somewhat rapid.

While the others were praising it, Zhou Zhengde posed a crucial question: “Can it be mass-produced?”

“I can make more than thirty Bagua plates a day.”

Wang Jixuan gave a significantly discounted figure, which would make it easier to slack off, not affect the progress of cultivation, and not raise the military’s expectations too high.

He said, “I will make a hundred or two later, mainly for the commanders to wear first, so as to avoid being ambushed by the mimic blade beasts.”

“Thanks!”

“Don’t be so polite. Alright, now it’s time for the real treasure display.”

Wang Jixuan took out two rhombus-shaped crystal cores from his right pocket. The spiritual energy inside them was slightly depleted, about 80% of that of a complete crystal core.

However, something was clearly missing from the aura emanating from these two crystal cores.

The ferocity of the Blade Beast is gone…

“These are two crystal cores of the remnants of Blade Beasts that I have processed. I cannot reveal the processing method for the time being. Otherwise, if this technology were to be stolen by the Thirteenth Institute, it would be a disaster for me personally and for humanity. The degree of disaster would be second only to an attack by a horde of Blade Beasts.”

Master Wang looked at Ling Tong and said solemnly:

“But you must remember this.”

“Hmm,” Ling Tong nodded immediately, somewhat puzzled.

Wang Jixuan gestured for her to release the greatsword, then summoned it back, hovering it in front of him, and pressed the hidden button at the end of the greatsword.

Amidst the faint sound of an engine, the greatsword’s hilt extended outwards, revealing two grooves, one on the front and one on the back.

The sword was pointed at the crystal core, which slowly approached the groove, as if being sucked into it, and the sword hilt clicked shut.

—This is the mechanical part made by a junior mechanic.

Buzz!

The greatsword began to tremble rapidly, and the ‘electric patterns’ on it were quickly activated, emitting a faint blue light, with invisible ripples spreading outwards.

Wang Jixuan gripped the sword hilt with his right hand, leaped to the side, and without using any magic power, his muscles bulged as he swept the greatsword forward!

Sword light flickered, and lightning flashed!

A beam of azure light rippled out, and the exoskeletons of several bladed beasts used as targets were instantly shattered, with a piece of the skull of a dromaeosaurid caved inward!

The green light rippled out for more than ten meters, leaving obvious marks on the supporting steel columns of the workshop, shattering several small instruments, and causing the thickened iron sheet of the large container to bulge outward, forming a straight line!

Buzz, buzz.

Wang Jixuan twirled his sword, then held the greatsword in reverse, held it horizontally, and presented it to Ling Tong.

“The first spirit sword on this planet.”

“This is for you.”

“Um.”

Ling Tong held the greatsword in both hands, but it felt much heavier.

She held it carefully, savoring its feel, and then, following Wang Jixuan’s instructions, switched between two modes using the button on the hilt—either air energy recovery or using crystal cores.

Wang Jixuan carefully instructed her that he would later get her some 【pure crystal cores】 without residual souls as a reserve. If she ran out of 【pure crystal cores】, she could use 【original crystal cores】 as an emergency measure, but she should remove the crystal cores after using them a few times and throw them away. She also needed to equip herself with multiple Bagua plates to avoid being accidentally injured by residual souls… and so on.

At the supply station, Wang Jixuan and Ling Tong stood in the sunlight streaming through the glass window above, one teaching and the other learning, both quite earnest.

The five men, women, and children standing nearby:…

Zhou Zhengde muttered to himself, “So, theoretically, the Institute of Biology Thirteen no longer has any reason to exist, right?”

Wu Man thought carefully and retorted, “It’s only in theory. In reality, the Thirteen Institutes are a behemoth right now. They may become enemies of psionic weapons, which will exacerbate the divisions within humanity to some extent.”

Compared to the two of them, the three mechanics had much more complicated thoughts.

Sister Wan watched this scene with tenderness and relief in her eyes, and decided to apply for a lightweight and soft bionic prosthetic limb for Ling Tong later.

Wan Xiaoqi silently grabbed his own neck, wanting to strangle himself to death to entertain his superiors and teachers.

Uncle Tai ran his fingers through his sparse, gray-white short hair.

He had helped set up the venue before, so rounding up, it must be counted as three jobs!

Zhou Zhengde’s communicator suddenly vibrated. He took it out, glanced at it, and frowned, saying:

“That commissioner is a bit annoying. He wants to talk to us. What should we do?”
