More than a year passed. In the Inner Valley of Heavenly Dragon Peak, Li Chen summoned everyone to review the results of the Soul-Shaking Divine Thunder's empirical certification.
The significance of this certification lay in transforming a Divine Ability and Secret Art mastered by Li Chen alone into production technology. Applying that technology would, in turn, create more finished weapons that others could use.
That day, the weather was clear, without a cloud for ten thousand miles. The azure sky shone as though freshly washed. Stewards had already cleared the site and prepared all the necessary supplies according to the experimental arrangements.
In the clearing designated beforehand, hundreds of iron cages of various sizes stood in rows, holding different kinds of living creatures, from Servant Demons and Earth Demons to Fierce Beasts from the Wild Forest and even True Demons.
Li Chen had ordered them transferred from various development bases and research institutes, temporarily borrowing them as targets to verify the Soul-Shaking Divine Thunder's effects.
Before the experiment began, a group of Puppet Dao Apprentices wearing alloy outer garments checked the Terminal feedback under the Craftsmen's guidance and confirmed the condition of the test subjects.
After a while, the various teams sent back their inspection results one after another.
"The test subjects' conditions are all in order..."
"All preparations are complete!"
Seated in his Mechanized Flying Chair, Li Chen hovered above the raised platform on the eastern side of the square and issued his command from on high. "Begin the experiment."
"Orders from the Employer! Begin the experiment!"
Someone stepped out from the crowd, crouched down, and threw an infantry tactical weapon shaped like a grenade and roughly the size of a potato.
"Bang! Bang, bang, bang!"
One grenade-type Soul-Shaking Divine Thunder after another exploded.
"Awooo!"
"Roar!"
Something strange happened.
