"What's going on?"
At first, the crowd was deathly silent, but a moment later, they erupted into an uproar. Screams rose and fell one after another, lingering in the ears.
"Could it be that he cultivated some kind of exceptional magical ability that allowed him to blast his spiritual energy into the Gold Armored Saber Mantis's body and hibernate in its blood until the last moment before bursting?"
Lu Tieshan's forehead was covered in sweat.
The Devil Fist Sect actually had a few magical abilities that were similar, but they were all high-level techniques that could only be cultivated by experts at the Foundation Establishment Stage and above.
How was it possible for Li Yao to do that?
Zhao Tianchong stared at the remote control in Li Yao's hand and shook his head.
"It's not a magical ability, it's a bomb!"
Lu Tieshan cried out involuntarily:
"Bomb? When did he put so many bombs on the Gold Armored Saber Mantis? Moreover, the Gold Armored Saber Mantis's carapace is incomparably smooth. How did he put the bombs on it? "
Zhao Tianchong was somewhat dejected as he muttered:
"We still underestimated Student Li Yao too much. We thought that he was confident in his strong body and strong resistance, so he foolishly chose to meet force with force with force with the Gold Armored Saber Mantis... Only now do I understand that this was all a trap to conceal his killing move!"
Lu Tieshan was stunned. His eyes turned as if he understood something, and his expression became even more aghast.
Zhao Tianchong saw his ashen face and knew that he had already seen through a thing or two. He nodded and said:
"That's right. I'm afraid you've already guessed it. The reason why Student Li Yao met force with force with the Gold Armored Saber Mantis was just to cause the Gold Armored Saber Mantis to be momentarily stunned and close the distance."
"In the instant when the distance between the two sides was zero, he secretly put some miniature bombs on the Gold Armored Saber Mantis's body."
"As for how these bombs were attached to the Gold Armored Saber Mantis's smooth carapace, I don't know."
"Every time they collided. He was able to put a few miniature bombs on it. "
"After a dozen or so collisions, the Gold Armored Saber Mantis's vitals were attached with dozens of miniature bombs."
"This demon beast was originally seriously injured. It ignored its injuries and frantically fled in the middle of its high-speed flight. With dozens of bombs exploding at the same time, how could it not die? "
"With so many bombs, it's impossible for Student Li Yao to carry all of them on his body at once. We thought that every time he retreated to the weapon rack, it was to switch to a new weapon. He was using the Gold Armored Saber Mantis as a test subject to test the might of the artifact."
"Of course, this is one of the purposes. The more important purpose is to use the disguise of changing weapons to obtain more miniature bombs. "
"The Gold Armored Saber Mantis's intelligence is extremely high. If it were to see Student Li Yao suddenly holding a large number of bombs, it would definitely have fled long ago."
"That's the only way. That's why I was able to attach dozens of miniature bombs to its shell, and it didn't even realize it until it died! "
Zhao Tianchong forced a smile and continued.
"Student Li Yao is very clear about his weakness of lacking attack power. He actually came up with such a strange battle strategy, making full use of his hand speed advantage to the extreme."
"I tried to recall carefully, but I could vaguely remember that he did some seemingly redundant actions earlier."
"I thought he wasn't good at attacking. So I was flustered and didn't take it to heart. "
"Now we know that he was the one who planted the mini bombs!"
"If we were enemies. When we fought, he would secretly place a few bombs on us. What do you think the consequences would be? "
Lu Tieshan muttered to himself for a moment and shook his head.
"Impossible. We are different from this demon beast."
"The Gold Armored Saber Mantis is covered in a carapace, which is equivalent to a layer of exoskeleton. It doesn't have any sensory organs, so it can't perceive the subtle changes on the carapace. That's why it didn't realize that dozens of bombs were attached to it. As cultivators, every hair on our bodies is incomparably sensitive. We would've discovered it in the first moment! "
Even so, the two still had lingering fears.
This was because they discovered that Li Yao wasn't a brute with only brawn and no brain.
The brain!
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Tianchong's expression became incomparably solemn. He gritted his teeth and said, "A person's name may be wrong, but his nickname will never be wrong. I heard that Student Li Yao has a nickname in his hometown called 'Vulture'. He truly lives up to his name. A fierce, crazy, and cunning vulture!"
While speaking, Li Yao calmly retreated.
Everyone immediately surrounded him and began to talk at once.
"Student Li Yao, you really rushed to the 4th level of the Refinement Stage? That's incredible! "
"Student Li Yao, what sect refined those magical weapons that you just used? Why do they look so familiar? Why can't I remember?! "
"Student Li Yao, did you really use a bomb to kill the Gold Armored Saber Mantis in the end? How could the bomb hang on the smooth carapace for so long? No matter how hard it moved, it didn't fall off? "
Li Yao grinned and opened his empty hands. With a slight shake, four exquisite miniature crystal bombs immediately appeared between his ten fingers.
Unlike ordinary bombs, one side of these bombs was smeared with a light green mucus and was carefully wrapped in a thin film.
"This is my special adhesive bomb. One side is smeared with the mucus of the Bullet Dart Frog. Once exposed to the air, it will produce an extremely strong stickiness. It can hang on a demon beast's carapace for more than ten minutes!"
"This is specially refined to break through the solid carapace of demon beasts!"
The Bullet Dart Frog was a very common large frog species in the Tian Yuan Realm.
Its tongue was very long and was also covered with a layer of extremely sticky body fluid. When its tongue shot out, it was like an arrow leaving a bow. It could even stick to small animals between branches, roll them down, and eat them. Hence its name.
After people discovered this characteristic, they raised the Bullet Dart Frog on a large scale and extracted the mucus from the tip of its tongue as a pure natural glue.
However, it was the first time that everyone had seen glue and bombs combined together. They couldn't help but brighten up.
Li Yao gave the adhesive bombs to the students beside him and let them study them as they pleased. Then, he picked up the Flaming Saber:
"All the artifacts here have been modified and strengthened by me. Their performance has improved by a lot compared to the original!"
"Take this Scarlet Sun Demon Slaying Flaming Saber as an example. This is a classic model that the Crimson Dragon Gate launched 37 years ago. Its design is quite outstanding. It can be considered outstanding among fire-type artifacts. However, the consumption of fire-type crystals is too high. Moreover, after a long battle, spiritual energy easily overflows and the handle of the saber will become hot to the hand. It will affect the combat experience. "
"And after I re-refined and deeply forged the key parts of the saber, the temperature limit of this Scarlet Sun Demon Slaying Flaming Saber has increased by 11%. The length of the flaming blade has increased by 8%. Using a fire-type crystal of standard purity, the duration of battle can increase by 7%. The most important thing is that I have improved the problem of spiritual energy overflow. No matter how you use it, it won't burn your hand! "
"How to use it? Students who use sabers, take it and study it!"
"As for those who use swords and battle axes … Those who use meteor hammers … Students, don't worry. All the melee artifacts here are modified versions. Their performance is at least 10% higher than the original. I will introduce them one by one. Everyone, feel free to enjoy them! "
Li Yao had a chainsword in his left hand and a meteor hammer in his right. His words flowed like a river. He spoke without end. His words were extravagant and extravagant, causing everyone to be stunned. Finally, he spoke with passion:
"Among these modified artifacts, the most expensive one is only 990 credits. The cheapest one is only 630 credits. It's simply free!"
"Seeing that the battle is imminent, a handy weapon can greatly increase your hunting efficiency. Students, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and pick up the crystal processor and trade with me! "
Everyone turned over and looked at the artifacts modified by Li Yao. Many sword cultivators revealed a look of fondness in their eyes. However, no one spoke. The scene fell into a strange silence.
A moment later. Zhao Tianchong coughed and said somewhat awkwardly:
"Student Li Yao, your modified artifacts are really good. Even I am somewhat moved. However, the price … isn't it a bit high? Basically, they are twice as expensive as the original! "
Li Yao stared blankly for a moment before he frowned:
"Student Zhao Tianchong, we are all in the same circle. Don't use this kind of method to haggle!"
"Everyone knows that the structure of these basic artifacts is quite classic. It is the condensation of decades of painstaking effort from many master refiners. Even the slightest modification is not easy."
"I carefully carved and hammered the key components one by one. I even fused a lot of high-grade materials in order to increase the performance by more than 10%. I don't know how much time, effort, and cost was spent. Doubling the price isn't too much, right?"
"These artifacts are indeed the real deal. Doubling the price isn't too much."
Zhao Tianchong also admitted that it was normal for the artifact's performance to increase by 10% and its price to increase by 100%.
In the most extreme case, even if the artifact's performance was only increased by 1%, it was still within a reasonable range for the price to double.
After all, on the battlefield, it was very likely that a 1% increase in performance would determine life and death.
The value of this was not something that could be measured with money.
"However, Student Li Yao, you may not understand the mentality of us students of the Combat Department."
"For us, we are still in the learning stage. It is not a good thing to use too powerful weapons during the learning process."
Zhao Tianchong explained very sincerely:
"If we are now used to using powerful weapons and become dependent on them, neglecting our own cultivation, then when we leave the university and step onto the real battlefield, what will we do if our divine weapons are damaged?"
"That's right!"
Another student echoed, "In our Chaos Edge Hall, there is an unwritten rule that we use the simplest and most basic weapons in our daily training in order to temper our true strength!"
"Therefore, although your artifact modifications are pretty good, they are somewhat superfluous to us."
Li Yao was stunned for a long time before he cried out:
"That's not right. It is true that we can use low-level weapons to temper our combat skills in daily training, but in actual combat, do we only use low-level weapons? At the very least, we should use one or two high-grade weapons to defend ourselves, right? "
Several sword cultivators glanced at each other before Zhao Tianchong explained:
"Student Li Yao, in actual combat, we will indeed carry weapons of two different grades."
"If we encounter a relatively weak demon beast such as the Black Armored Saber Mantis, we will still use low-level weapons to temper our combat skills. If we encounter a demon beast such as the Gold Armored Saber Mantis, which is a level higher than us, then we will use higher-grade divine weapons to fight with our lives on the line."
"The problem is that although your artifact's performance has been increased by 10%, its base is still the basic model. It cannot be considered a real divine weapon!"
"In short, the artifact you modified is too good for training, too bad for putting your life on the line. It's not cheap, either. It doesn't have any core competitiveness!"
