Thunder and lightning were surging, and the scraps were swirling. Every piece of the saber was like a sharp tooth. As they revolved rapidly, a giant beast surrounded by electric arcs opened its bloody mouth and swallowed 'Edgeless'!
Edgeless had been crafted by Mo Tianshui after he modified the design in a hurry. Its internal structure was not very stable. It had already reached its limit to blow apart the first form of Blood Dragon Tooth! Tiny wounds were everywhere on the blade. How could it withstand the crazy biting of the electric arcs and the scraps?
Blood Dragon Tooth grinned hideously, and Edgeless screamed miserably. In a moment, it was broken into pieces!
Also!
The thousands of pieces of Edgeless were captured by the raging electric arcs and became part of Blood Dragon Tooth!
It was as if it had been eaten up, including its skin and bones!
After swallowing the scraps of Edgeless, Blood Dragon Tooth suddenly expanded to more than five meters long. Electric arcs were raging. The scraps congregated into an iron tide and bashed the wall of the test chamber brutally!
BOOM!
The transparent wall, which was made of super crystal and carved with many defense rune arrays, was left with a deep, dreadful mark by the ferocious saber. After a crack, thousands of cracks appeared on the wall!
The attack had drained all the strength of Blood Dragon Tooth. One second later, the electric arcs were gone, and the magnetic field was gone. Thousands of scraps fell to the ground like flowers.
The test chamber was mired in darkness, as if nothing had happened at all. The only thing that was left in the air was the particles of spiritual energy of the electric arcs, which were glittering like fireflies and telling the soul-stirring scene a moment ago.
The hearts of all the spectators almost stopped beating at the same time.
They were completely astounded by the attack.
In the VIP observation room, the refiners from the Mo family fell back to their seats helplessly.
The refiners from the Huangfu family narrowed their eyes when they realized that Huangpu Xiaoya was likely to face the creator of such a ferocious saber in the next few days.
In the staff room, the students of the two highest universities exclaimed in shock at the same time. Xie Anan jumped to her feet in excitement.
"Master Li Yao has won!"
That's right. Although the two godly weapons collapsed within three seconds one after the other, for a cultivator, it was nothing. Three seconds was enough to do a lot of things.
In a real battle, a Cultivator with Blood Dragon Tooth could kill his opponent ten times in three seconds!
What's more, Blood Dragon Fang had swallowed Edgeless' fragments. There was no need for ten attacks. Just one attack was enough to turn the opponent into ashes!
"What an unexpected turn of events! Although there seemed to be something wrong with the chip that Li Yao polished, he seemed to have foreseen the situation and had deeply modified his saber! The winner of this match is Li Yao. His Blood Dragon Tooth swallowed Mo Tianshui's Edgeless! "
The host had completely lost his cool and was screaming madly.
The sunny smile on Mo Tianshui's face was still frozen. There was no second expression.
In his memory bank, there was not a single expression that could be used to express the feeling of being crushed.
The corners of his mouth were still curled up, but his eyes were filled with shock, astonishment, unwillingness, doubt, and depression. It was indescribably strange.
"You!"
His lips shivering for a long time, Mo Tianshui finally regained the ability to organize his words. He gnashed his teeth and said, "You knew that your saber would break?"
"Exactly."
It was an excellent form of communication to review and analyze the results of a comparative battle. It was also the real meaning of 'practice'. Li Yao did not mind sharing his experience with Mo Tianshui, a genius heir of a noble family of refining that had existed for a thousand years. He sorted out his thoughts quickly and said solemnly. "Although I've tried it a few times in the Grand Illusionary Land, this is the first time that I've polished a chip with my bare hands in reality.
"The Iron-Knight-II control chip is too complicated. Therefore, what I polished was actually an Iron-Knight-II, which is relatively simpler.
"But even so, a chip polished by hand is still very sturdy. In terms of stability and impact resistance, a chip carved by magical equipment is definitely not as good as a chip.
"Faced with an expert such as yourself, we were destined to compete for six or seven rounds. Under the bombardment of spiritual energy dozens of times the standard, the chip would certainly explode.
"It is impossible for me to abandon the control chip at the very beginning and completely change the design, because all the materials that I've chosen are based on the 'Iron-Knight-II' control chip. That is to say, I'm more dependent on the key materials than you are."
"The unexpected rules were actually even more disadvantageous for me. However I changed the design, many of the materials I chose were destined to be wasted.
"Therefore, I decided to polish a chip that was not stable. In the meantime, I made minor adjustments to my design and added another design that I had been thinking about for a long time. It was a gamble."
"You won the gamble."
Mo Tianshui's eyes were bloodshot. The frustration of failure gradually disappeared from his face. It was replaced by infinite passion for magical equipment.
A refiner could lose and die, but they had to know the reason behind their death!
He took a deep breath and dispelled the last trace of depression. The failure just now had been completely shattered by him. He asked sincerely, "You bet on the second form of the Blood Dragon Teeth?"
"Yes."
Li Yao nodded and said, "The Blood Dragon Tooth that I refined has two forms. The normal form and the 'critical strike form', which is automatically triggered when the weapon is about to be scrapped due to heavy damage.
"In the critical strike form, thousands of electric arcs will be generated inside the Blood Dragon Tooth, which will bind all the scraps and make them revolve crazily. The damage of the weapon will be three times higher than the normal form!
"Besides, when the Blood Dragon Tooth in the critical strike form completely tore apart the enemy's weapon, it will swallow the scraps of the enemy, too. The damage will be further increased by more than five times!
"However, as you have seen, the critical strike form can only last three seconds at most.
"It is like the last roar of a ferocious beast that is burning up all its vitality before its death!"
Mo Tianshui closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. Then he mumbled, "If the enemy is unaware of the situation, they will certainly be relaxed for a moment, thinking that victory is within their grasp after they break your weapon.
"However, the critical strike form will only be revealed when the Blood Dragon Tooth is broken. The damage of the enemy's weapon will be further improved!
"With such an unparalleled saber in hand, even if the enemy is twice as strong as you, they will still be defeated. They will be killed by the critical strike of the Blood Dragon Tooth!
"I admit defeat in today's battle. Fellow Cultivator Li, your methods are truly incredible. Truly admirable!
"However...
"There's one thing that I don't understand. What is the mechanism of the critical strike form exactly? If the core secrets are not involved... Can Fellow Cultivator Li give us a brief explanation? "
Li Yao smiled and said, "I can only say that the core of the electromagnetic field is the twelve-chain thunder rune."
Mo Tianshui was dazed for a moment. He was deep in thought. A moment later, his eyes were beaming as he said, "Is it the hypothesis of Fiend Star, the master of classical refining theories that has been quite popular on the Spiritual Nexus recently?"
"Yes."
Li Yao replied. "Master Fiend Star proposed the theory of combining the twelve-chain thunder rune with modern magical equipment, which raised a lot of heated debates on the Spiritual Nexus. I've been following it a lot, too.
"Most people scoffed at Master Fiend Star's theory and thought that it was just a fantasy.
"Yes. From today's perspective, the twelve-chain thunder rune is rather crude and even outdated in terms of the structure of the spiritual model."
"Such ancient runes don't have high efficiency in the conversion and enhancement of spirit energy, and their form is extremely unstable. It can only be maintained for a few seconds at most. It is not suitable to be used as a stable and long-lasting offensive rune array. "
"In today's world of Cultivators, there are dozens of modern rune arrays of the thunder class that can perfectly replace the effect of the twelve-chain thunder runes.
"So. Most people feel that Teacher Fiend Star's theory has no practical use. "
"But they were wrong!"
"The greatest value of the Twelve-chain Thunderbolt Ancient Talisman isn't its ability to attack!"
"This ancient talisman is crude, primitive, and extremely unstable. However, he possesses a very mysterious divine ability. "
"During the activation of the ancient rune, because the circulation of spiritual energy is extremely unstable, a large amount of spiritual energy of thunder and lightning will leak out and form an electromagnetic field around the rune. Also, it is an electromagnetic field that can be shaped at will!"
"As long as you preset a few thoughts in advance, you will be able to shape the magnetic field into whatever you want."
"For example, you can shape the electromagnetic field into the shape of a saber!"
"The electromagnetic field in the shape of a saber, after swallowing a lot of metal scraps, will unleash all the energy within several seconds. That is the critical strike of Blood Dragon Tooth!
"This is the real function of the Twelve-chain Thunderbolt Ancient Talisman!"
Mo Tianshui was greatly moved. "Do you agree with Fiend Star's theory?"
Li Yao smiled and replied, "Yes. Teacher Fiend Star's theory has given me a lot of inspiration. I'm an admirer of Teacher Fiend Star, and I agree with his theory one hundred percent. I will always apply his theory to the real world!"
The audience was in an uproar again after hearing that.
Many of the audience members let out meaningless "ahhhh" sounds to express their extreme shock.
Some of them were at a loss, too. They asked around in confusion, "Who is Fiend Star?"
Many people looked at him in disdain.
Although Fiend Star's ancient refining theories were quite famous on the Spiritual Nexus and had become a topic of discussion for many people in the circle, most of the discussions were just on paper.
They didn't expect that Li Yao would apply one of Fiend Star's theories to the real world and shine in such a high-level competition!
In one minute, the number of searches related to 'Fiend Star' on the Spiritual Nexus soared by dozens of times!
It was exactly the effect that Li Yao was hoping for.
After thinking for a long time, he decided to keep the identity of 'Fiend Star, an expert in classical refining theories'.
The ability that he had demonstrated right now was definitely that of a refiner of the real world. Even if he did join one of the three Crystal Suit Refining Centers, he would only be engaged in practical work related to the refinement of Crystal Suit.
As for the cutting-edge theoretical discussions, it was unlikely that he would have a chance to participate in them.
After all, a high-level academic seminar would not invite him just because his hands could break the speed of sound or because he could carve crystal chips with his bare hands.
As for the identity of Fiend Star, as long as he became more and more famous and became a master of classical refining theories, it was possible that he would be able to participate in the theoretical discussions of the highest level.
Besides, his refining methods carried strong traces of ancient methods. It was inevitable that some people would associate him with Fiend Star.
Instead of waiting for others to discover it, it would be better for him to say it out loud. If others were to assume that he was a "worshipper of Fiend Star", then it would not be strange for his refining style to carry some traces of ancient methods.
