A Multitude of Miscellaneous Matters

"The more I look at it, the more it resembles my weapon!"

The blade constructed by Zhang Xuezhou resembled Wang Haoran's previous genetic weapon, 'Wuming'.

The weapon has a nearly circular structure, with its center point secured by as many as 108 thin and tough alloy wires.

This alloy wire not only stabilizes the Soul Jade, but also provides enough space for the Soul Jade to outline the inscription lines, allowing Zhang Xuezhou to control the Soul Jade smoothly.

Apart from the central part, the surrounding area consists of sharp, round blades, with no area even where one could reach out and grasp them.

The disadvantage of not designing grip points is that weapons are difficult to hold, but the advantage is that even the master cannot hold them normally, so the opponent is even less likely to grab them by blocking or other means.

Looking at the weapon crafted by Zhang Xuezhou, Wang Haoran felt that the core components were exactly the same as his previous 'Martial Sound'.

However, Zhang Xuezhou only created the core components; he didn't incorporate any devices related to concealed blades, extension, power-driven strike extension, or gene manipulation assistance.

The place they were building was at the end of an underground laboratory. There weren't many people involved in the construction: two mathematicians who did the calculations and one forger who was in charge of the blade.

As long as there are standard manufacturing drawings, these types of parts can be manufactured through normal customization. The remaining tasks involve precision welding, grinding, and fixing.

The difficulty with Zhang Xuezhou's weapons lies in the alloy material and the way the Soul Jade is inlaid.

Of course, Zhang Xuezhou didn't know any friends in Western Capital City who were skilled in making weapons, which made it more convenient for him to come to the Tuer tribe.

While Turkalando may not be able to handle big tasks, he is very adept at helping with small ones.

In just two hours, this custom-made weapon was basically completed.

With a flick of his Law Power, the weapon he named 'Infinite Blade' was instantly lifted into the air by the Soul Jade.

"Uncle Wang, how did your martial arts weapon spin so fast?"

Zhang Xuezhou turned to Wang Haoran was dressed strangely, and asked him a question.

Wang Haoran's genetic weapon doesn't contain an electric motor, but it can perform rapid rotating cuts, resulting in immense destructive power.

Zhang Xuezhou can currently control the Infinite Blade for rapid long-range shooting, but spinning it around is extremely difficult.

There is no fundamental difference between the power of physical conversion and the power of Law Power conversion. If Zhang Xuezhou knew the relevant techniques, he could do the same.

"Wu Ming's spin is achieved through force and distance, while genetic power acts as a propulsion system. If you find the Thousand Spider Hands Gene Fighting Technique difficult to understand, try to understand the spinning method of a top. Your strength is like the whip that spins the top; as long as you touch it, you can make the top spin even faster!"

"Spinning a top in the air?"

Wang Haoran explained and even described the basic principles of the Thousand Spider Hands control, but how to apply it to Zhang Xuezhou in practice would inevitably require continuous experimentation.

Those who know how to spin a top can master it in a short time, while those who don't can't even spin a top with a whip.

"Humans are made of flesh and blood. If you can shoot quickly, this sharp blade can take a life in no time," Ren Anran said in the discussion.

"These sharp blades are completely ineffective against Seventh Sequence individuals," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head. "They won't even work against some Sequence Holder who excel at defense, let alone be effective against ferocious beasts!"

"Are we really going to fight the ferocious beast?" Wang Haoran asked in surprise.

"Those white insects are completely impossible to get close to, right?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"It's not entirely impossible to get close," Turkalando said. "My current idea is that we'll crawl inside the alloy cage, and once the bug gets close, we'll work together to deal with it!"

"Crawling into the alloy cage with our backs against it... that's a good idea," Zhang Xuezhou said. "But the alloy cage we can withstand shouldn't be too heavy. Even if we don't get pierced by the insect's steel bristles, it should be able to easily pry it open, and then we'll most likely be done for."

The dark terrain of the cave limited their options, and the Turs did not simply want to kill the insects, but rather to capture them alive.

This presents both a research need and a need to clarify the relevant circumstances.

A single millipede might be an unexpected occurrence in nature, but the appearance of the second white worm has raised concerns among many, who suspect that this supernatural life form may not be an isolated individual.

"This was a method I finally came up with after a lot of trouble," Turcalando said dejectedly. "I always thought we were invincible together."

"Wake up, how can our mediocre skills be invincible?" Zhang Xuezhou complained.

"I think it's still pretty impressive!"

Turkalando thought about the half-centipede they had previously subdued, and she ultimately concluded that she and Zhang Xuezhou working together were practically invincible.

Even if these kinds of insects are beaten half to death and try to escape, she still has the ability to pull them back.

Combined with Zhang Xuezhou's intimidating abilities, they were able to destroy the already underdeveloped brain region of this insect within a few rounds.

"How fast is that insect?" Zhang Manqian couldn't help but ask.

It has many legs!

"Then what?"

"The speed is very fast, similar to running at high speed on flat ground!"

The cave passage is twenty-eight miles long. While one can slowly enter such a long distance, it is almost impossible to escape quickly.

Tear gas, smoke grenades, flamethrowers, stun guns, and powerful firearms were somewhat effective against the insects, but the paladins who carried out the mission all died along the way.

While some skilled paladins might be able to overcome the steep and rugged terrain of the cave, they cannot defend against the insects' acid sprays with a range of nearly two hundred meters.

Either a short-range ambush, as Tuelcalando envisioned, to subdue the enemy with swift action, or a long-range engagement is necessary.

Zhang Xuezhou's idea was closer to his and Ren Anran using their Yang Souls to probe for clues step by step, and then using long-range shooting to engage in a duel.

This inevitably relied on Zhang Manqian and Wang Haoran carrying them on their backs as they fled, and also on Ren Anran's ability to lock onto targets and fire long-range firearms.

Their advantage over the paladins lies not in individual strength, but in the fact that once their Law Power locks on, they won't lose their target due to darkness or panicked escape, and can choose a reasonable ranged counterattack method.

If they can break through the defenses of this ferocious insect, they have a high probability of subduing it.

Of course, if they cannot subdue each other while maintaining a sufficient distance, they may also be subdued by the insects in return.

"Compared to your suggestion of ambushing me from the toilet, Xuezhou's method is much more reliable!"

After a brief conversation, Ren Anran felt that Zhang Xuezhou's plan was feasible; even if the hunt was unlikely to succeed, their chances of safety were relatively high.

If they are outmatched by the bugs, the counterattack power from the infinite blades and guns will most likely be enough to ensure their safe retreat.

"What squatting bucket? Mine is a sealed alloy cage, it's not a bucket at all," Turcalando said, dissatisfied.

"If you're so keen on making a bucket, you might as well build some walls in the cave; at least that would be more sturdy," Ren Anran complained.

Turkalando has to admit that Zhang Xuezhou 'Zhang Xuezhou small team was a more feasible option compared to her collaboration with him.

She kept thinking about the wretched chieftainship of the Tuer tribe, feeling that returning to the Thousand Islands Alliance was delaying her and Zhang Xuezhou's partnership.

If she and Zhang Xuezhou had gone to Qinmeng, they might have developed a better way of cooperating.

After a brief discussion, Zhang Xuezhou decided to test the Infinite Blade's spinning ability in an open area.

As long as his Law Power is not lacking and his soul jade is not damaged, this round alloy flying blade will have almost unlimited cutting ability.

If the blade is damaged, Zhang Xuezhou can also insert it using a locking mechanism.

Regardless of its weaponry capabilities, its endurance is certainly not lacking.

"The Sixth Elder is again saying at the shrine that you are not respectful in your service to the gods, and that you were previously stripped of your position as a Holy Maiden Priestess. He believes that you need to be impeached and replaced with a new priestess to protect the peace of our clan!"

As Zhang Xuezhou emerged from the underground laboratory with the concealed blade case containing the Infinite Blade, preparing to launch it, he saw a priestess hurrying over from a short distance away, whispering something to Turcalandor.

"If it weren't for the fact that I'm a useless person after stepping down, would he even care about my chieftainship?"

Turkalando didn't want to be chieftain, but it wasn't a position she could simply choose to hold or relinquish.

Entering a religion is easy; leaving one is difficult.

Ren Yisheng had always been chased around, and since then he had never dared to come to the Tuer clan openly. Lacking a foothold abroad and with far less strength than Ren Yisheng, the Tuer Kalando mother and daughter could not escape their fate.

Despite her resentment, Turkalando still had to deal with these matters.

The chieftain cannot be replaced at will by the Sixth Elder. What the Sixth Elder did was no different from how the other elders treated Turkorando back then. They suppressed them step by step to make them serve God Turkor in peace and to interfere less or not at all in other matters.
