It was as if the gears in the machine had exploded and caused a chain reaction.
As chaotic clanging sounds rose, thick spirit energy gushed out of the punching force tester. Sparks rose from the places that should not have been releasing smoke, and the places that should have been crystalline and shining became dim.
When black smoke gushed out of the punching force tester with a loud bang, the machine that looked like a small steam locomotive fell to the ground. A few of the rivets and screws fell off with loud clanging sounds.
"…"
Aside from Meng Chao and Long Feijun, everyone else was dumbfounded.
The air in the cultivation room seemed to have frozen into ice.
"When other people use Divine Nine Dragon Seals, they just increase their damage, but you used Divine Nine Dragon Seals to increase your penetrative power."
Long Feijun's pupils shrank, and he said seriously, "Not only did your strength seep into the super heavy punching force tester, you also ingeniously used the vibrations of spirit energy to cause the parts in the machine to resonate with each other. Then, you used the resonance to find the limits of the metal parts' fatigue. Through extremely fine, repetitive vibrations and bending, you destroyed all the metal parts!
"On the surface, you 'only' threw more than one hundred punches in a short minute.
"But in truth, with the penetrative power and resonance, you launched tens of thousands of attacks on the metal parts within a minute.
"If you hadn't attacked the punching force tester but a monster with a sturdy shell, I believe that the monster's shell would have been fine, but its organs would have been reduced to the finest pulp!"
Once Long Feijun explained it, the group understood the secret behind Meng Chao's fists.
They could not help but suck in sharp breaths.
"That's right, Senior Brother Long. I think this is the correct way to activate Divine Nine Dragon Seals."
Meng Chao's tone was calm, but there was undeniable confidence in his words. "Divine Nine Dragon Seals is indeed a very domineering technique that allows you to instantly unleash explosive power. Master Lei has also revealed all the cultivation methods to the public. Many of the martial arts classes in Dragon City and the martial arts courses in universities have specialized courses related to it.
"But in all of Dragon City, there are only a handful of superhumans who can cultivate Divine Nine Dragon Seals to perfection. What's going on?
"Divine Nine Dragon Seals is one of the reasons why it's so difficult to cultivate, but the more important reason is that based on traditional fighting ideals, Divine Nine Dragon Seals doesn't have a high quality-price ratio.
"That's because the cultivation method for Divine Nine Dragon Seals is profound and complicated. If you don't have enough spirit energy and fighting experience, it'll be difficult for you to understand the profound principles behind it.
"But if you have enough spirit energy and fighting experience, the superhumans who have already mastered it usually have really fierce strength. Even if you increase it by a few times, it won, your damage will overflow.
"Take Senior Long as an example. You're known as the Railway Cannon. Even if you don't use Divine Nine Dragon Seals, you can still deliver the power of a standard crystal bomb that weighs around four hundred kilograms. If you use Divine Nine Dragon Seals, you can increase your destructive power to a terrifying five hundred kilograms, but there's a very short time for you to accumulate power and cool down.
"I believe that if you're already as strong as you are, even if you increase it by a few percent, it won't be a decisive factor. If you're up against a normal monster, you can definitely crush their heads with a punch with a force of three hundred kilograms. And if you can't kill a monster with a force of three hundred kilograms, you might not even be able to kill it with a force of five hundred kilograms.
"Instead of spending a lot of time, energy, and resources to cultivate Divine Nine Dragon Seals, it'd be better to pour the same amount of time, energy, and resources into other martial arts, such as killing techniques with cold weapons, gunfighting techniques that allow you to control bullets at will, or learning how to create a few spirit energy magnetic fields so that you can have a few more killing moves in your arsenal.
"This is why everyone knows that Divine Nine Dragon Seals is Battle God Lei Zongchao's famous technique, but they can't make up their minds to cultivate it.
"I do think that penetrative power is more important than destructive power.
"In the past, Master Lei didn't tell everyone this because his destructive power had already reached its peak. No matter how thick the enemy's fur was or how sturdy their armor was, he could tear through them from the outside. There was no problem of him not being able to break through their defenses.
"But to people like us, whose destructive power isn't as exaggerated as when Master Lei was at his peak, we can make minor adjustments to the spirit energy circulation model of Divine Nine Dragon Seals and place more emphasis on the 'delivery' of power instead of 'explosion' so that our power will be like a bomb that will explode after a certain amount of time. It will be delivered to the enemy's body before it explodes. Perhaps the price-performance ratio for practicing Divine Nine Dragon Seals will increase by leaps and bounds."
In his memories, Meng Chao's words were the ultimate principles of martial arts that had been proven through practice in his previous life.
But the current superhumans did not seem to have thought about this.
Long Feijun and the people from Battle God Palace sank into deep thought.
After a moment, an astonishing light shone in the eyes of the Red Dragon Army colonel known as the Railway Cannon.
A row of sparkling golden words appeared at the top right corner of Meng Chao's field of vision.
[Under the Fire Relayer's guidance, heroic citizen Long Feijun has come to understand a brand new way to use Divine Nine Dragon Seals. His fighting strength has increased, and it will increase the strength of Battle God Palace, the Red Dragon Army, and all of Dragon City. Increased contribution points by 1,015.]
Just as he expected, Long Feijun was also a heroic citizen!
If he guided a heroic citizen, the contribution points he got were more than ten times that of guiding a normal citizen.
He just casually chatted about his martial arts epiphany, and the contribution points he got went over one thousand. It was much more worthwhile than going into the wild to capture Demonic Halberd Pigs and Iron-armored Rhinoceroses.
Wait, it wasn't over yet!
[Under the Fire Relayer's guidance, heroic citizen Zhuang Dayong has come to understand a brand new way to use Divine Nine Dragon Seals.
[Under the Fire Relayer's guidance, heroic citizen Xie Changqing has come to understand a brand new way to use Divine Nine Dragon Seals.]
A series of golden words appeared in Meng Chao's mind, and the pleasant sound of crystal coins knocking against each other rang in his ears.
He was calm and composed. He smiled faintly and sucked back the snot that was about to come out of his nose.
He did not expect that nearly one-third of the twenty to thirty people from Battle God Palace would be the legendary heroic citizens.
The feeling of guiding so many heroic citizens in one go was just too great!
But when he thought about it, it made sense. All of them had followed Lei Zongchao for years. Even if they had not learned all of the Battle God's skills, they had all developed a heroic air of righteousness.
If there was a need, they were all good men who were willing to charge into the monster horde with bayonets in their hands.
If such a good man could not be considered a "hero citizen", who could be counted as one?
And once the Battle God turned the tide, saved Dragon City, restored order, and rebuilt civilization, he retired behind the scenes and quietly brought up so many heroic citizens. Just what sort of citizen was he?
For a period of time, Lei Zongchao's image in Meng Chao's heart became so great that it could not be increased any further.
"As for the specifics of how to turn destructive power into penetrative power, I've come up with some tricks that I'm not very familiar with yet. Senior Brother Long, fellow senior brothers, should we study them together?" Meng Chao asked with a smile.
Long Feijun and the people from Battle God Palace looked at each other. They saw the surprise and shock in each other's eyes.
When they looked at Meng Chao again, their gazes were completely different from before.
"Welcome to Battle God Palace."
Long Feijun strode forward and gave Meng Chao a bear hug. He laughed and said, "I have a feeling that one of these days, Uncle Lei will be proud of you."
"It's not me, it's us."
Meng Chao bared his teeth and said, "I believe that one of these days, Battle God Lei Zongchao will be proud of all of us!"
…
From that day onwards, Meng Chao settled down in Battle God Palace.
There was no need to mention how hard it was for him.
It was impossible for Battle God Lei Zongchao to give him the VIP treatment of being imbued with wisdom every day. Otherwise, in less than three days, the old man's death rate would increase to 100%, and he would die a few years earlier than in Meng Chao's previous life.
Most of the time, Lei Zongchao would talk nonstop about profound and complicated theories that were as ridiculous as the Arabian Nights, or he would activate his spirit energy to form spirit energy magnetic field models that were as intricate as dozens of spider webs fused together in the air so that Meng Chao could understand them with his heart.
Or he would do what Black Tortoise Zong Yue did. He would stimulate his brainwaves to the max and implant a mental brand in Meng Chao's brain so that Meng Chao could constantly fight in a virtual battle while he meditated.
However, what Black Tortoise Zong Yue implanted in Meng Chao's brain was the image of an Apocalyptic Beast known as the Black Tortoise, while Lei Zongchao implanted his own image.
Honestly speaking, Meng Chao would rather face ten Black Tortoises at the same time than fight against a Battle God, even if it was a virtual Battle God.
The Black Tortoise might have thick skin and was incredibly fierce, but it was still huge and moved rather slowly. Before Meng Chao was trampled to death, he could always fight back a few times. Whether he could break its defense was another matter, but at the very least, he could feel like he was part of the fight.
The Black Tortoise Zong Yue allowed Meng Chao to understand just how ridiculous the difference between Heaven Realm and Deity Realm was. He also understood just what sort of experience it was to turn into a sandbag while he was in deep meditation and be hung up to be beaten up repeatedly.
In any case, while Meng Chao was meditating, he had fought against Battle God Lei Zongchao's image forty-nine times. Aside from being able to last longer each time and being beaten up even harder, he did not manage to land an effective strike on Lei Zongchao.
Aside from repeatedly training Meng Chao's mind, Lei Zongchao also did not let go of Meng Chao's body.
The strengthened training plan for Meng Chao to become a five-star superhuman turned the cultivation plans Meng Chao carried out in university into child's play. Even a fierce soldier like Railway Cannon Long Feijun sucked in a sharp breath when he saw it.
Running ten kilometers while carrying three hundred kilograms and punching five hundred times in an anaerobic state with five times the gravity was just an appetizer before breakfast!
