Chapter 1050: Huge Caliber, Huge Truth!

After that, the discussion continued.
Actually, at such a time, it had become a brainstorming session; everyone could speak freely to contribute ideas.
Even for unrealistic ideas, one could say them too.
“This Myriad Manifestations Spirit Wave Art is really interesting. Its core concept is about how one could make use of spirit qi.”
After Bai Wenzhang listened to Sun Mo explain this cultivation art, he understood its core essence. At the same time, he was filled with admiration toward Sun Mo’s magnanimity.
Who would be willing to tell a peerless saint-tier cultivation art to another?!
(Even your own father wouldn’t tell you that easily!)
Bai Wenzhang used about half an hour plus to draw a spirit rune.
“If my calculations aren’t wrong, this spirit rune can amplify the damage by 50%. Although there’s an increase, the drawing of the spirit rune is too complicated. We might as well use spirit qi directly.”
Bai Wenzhang’s inference ability was extremely strong. “If you can’t kill your enemy with one strike, use a few strikes then. If that still doesn’t work, summon ten thousand beams to shoot at them!”
“Directly using spirit qi?”
Li Ziqi had never considered this possibility before.
“You actually didn’t tell her about this?” Bai Wenzhang was surprised.
“For some things, it would be better if she thought of them herself,” Sun Mo explained.
Solving a problem by oneself was also a good method to train one’s thinking.
“Spirit qi is a type of energy. This is something your teacher told me. We can use spirit runes to gather the energy together before releasing it.”
Bai Wenzhang spared no effort to patiently teach Li Ziqi. After that, he couldn’t stop anymore.
This was because this student was truly too intelligent. He just needed to vaguely hint at something and she would immediately understand. Also, when he mentioned ‘one’, she would already think of ‘three’.
In this world, there was nothing better than teaching such a talented student.
Li Ziqi’s occasional question also targeted the vital points.
At midnight, the two of them already started to discuss whether the user should stand on the left side or right side when using this spirit rune.
“Say, let us have dinner first?”
Sun Mo had broken through to the Longevity Realm and wouldn’t feel hungry. He would be fine even if he only ate a single meal for several days. However, Li Ziqi was different.
Brainstorming like this would exhaust a lot of one’s energy.
“Teacher Sun, what do you think?” Bai Wenzhang asked.
(Dinner? Sorry, knowledge is the best delicacy. I feel that I’m very full.)
“Stand to the right!”
Sun Mo mentally mused that standing on the left would make one lose for sure.
“Why?”
“Metaphysics!”
Hence, Bai Wenzhang rolled his eyes, while Li Ziqi secretly told herself to note this down. In the future, when she fought, she had to do her best to stand on the right.
“The question now is how should we allow the spirit runes on the body of an ordinary person to not damage their body while absorbing vast amounts of spirit qi?”
Bai Wenzhang pondered deeply.
“Say… the two of you shouldn’t limit your thoughts only to the human body. Can’t we simply invent a type of weapon to unleash this spirit wave?”
Sun Mo was speechless.
(Artillery, do you understand? Huge caliber equates to huge truth!)
Li Ziqi’s eyes brightened. “The difficulty of repairing spirit runes is very high. But as for weapons, we can simply throw it away if it is damaged.”
“Inappropriate. It’s impossible for you to bring a weapon alongside you all the time.”
Bai Wenzhang belonged to the faction where he didn’t believe in weapons. He believed in the concept where only when you yourself were strong, would you truly be strong.
“Ordinary people only want to kill enemies who are stronger than them. They can’t possibly be thinking of killing gods, right?”
Sun Mo was helpless.
He didn’t expect Bai Wenzhang to be a perfectionist and wanted to pursue the extreme in all his endeavors, aiming to create the best of the best.
“By viewing this separately, to ordinary people, it’s just about using a spirit rune weapon. To experts, they would want to tattoo this on their bodies. In any case, their cultivation bases are higher and their constitutions will also be stronger. They will be able to endure the influx of a large amount of spirit qi.”
Sun Mo could understand why Bai Wenzhang disagreed. In the past, humans thought that martial arts were good enough to contend against western guns.
“A spirit rune weapon also has no limits. If we can create a weapon that can shatter the stars with a single blast, even sovereigns at the Saint Realm would die.”
Bai Wenzhang no longer spoke.
Because from a theoretical viewpoint, this hypothesis was tenable. As long as the energy was powerful enough, it could destroy everything.
“Why don’t we compete in seeing who would be able to forge the first spirit rune weapon?
Bai Wenzhang was full of desire as he looked at Sun Mo.
It had been a very long time since he last met a qualified rival like Sun Mo.
“Nope!”
Sun Mo shook his head. He didn’t want to court humiliation for himself.
“Alright then!”
Bai Wenzhang gave up. After that, he took a piece of spirit rune paper and started to design.
This contemplation of his lasted an entire night.
Li Ziqi acted like a secretary here. She helped Bai Wenzhang by passing over papers and grinding the ink, as well as recording some of his insights.
Because Bai Wenzhang would chat occasionally with Sun Mo, Sun Mo had no way to leave. Since he was bored, he also started to design a spirit rune weapon.
(Let’s ignore other things. I will just make a huge caliber first.)
…
“How many days has it been?”
Cui Shun`en stared at the door of the study room that was tightly closed. He wanted nothing more than to go in and join them.
“Five days.”
Yan Sui sighed. He also really wished to participate in this type of discussion.
From the occasional sounds of explosions that rang out from within, the Dean and the two others must be doing some research.
“Ah, as long as I can enter, I wouldn’t even mind being a little brother that serves them tea!”
After Cui Shun`en finished speaking, Xiao Feng looked at him with astonishment.
(Don’t a major character like you want face?)
Just when Xiao Feng wanted to puke, he heard the surrounding people agreeing respectively.
This truly drove him so mad that he wanted to die.
(No way! I have to think of a solution. If this continues, this entire manor would really have to change its surname to ‘Sun’. But it probably won’t happen, right? I’ve followed Teacher for 15 years no matter what. Even if I didn’t contribute much, I did work hard for the manor too!)
…
“What is Bai Wenzhang doing? Sir, you came all the way here, yet he didn’t take the initiative to receive you. What gall!”
A middle-aged man grumbled.
“He seems to be inventing something?”
The middle-aged woman pushing the wheelchair smiled. “Why don’t we steal it?”
On the wheelchair, an old man with white hair was sitting there unmovingly. These people were none other than the three people Sun Mo had met at the gate to the manor previously.
All of a sudden, his eyeballs trembled as he shifted his gaze to look at a passing young man.
“What’s the matter?”
The middle-aged man looked over.
That youth was wearing the uniform of the manor.
“Hehe, from the looks of things, we are not the only ones with designs on this place!”
The old man spoke in a teasing tone. However, anyone who wished to snatch the pie with him had to die.
…
Another 15 days passed!
If it wasn’t for Li Ziqi needing the kitchen to send her a meal every three days, in addition to wanting tea and pastries, everyone would have thought that the three of them might have died inside.
Wasn’t the duration of this seclusion a little too long?
But everyone felt even more curious about what the three of them were researching.
Finally, in the wee hours of today, Bai Wenzhang placed down the quill pen in his hand.
At this moment, there were already balls of crumpled paper stacked up to the height of three men. These were all the work of Bai Wenzhang in this recent month.
Li Ziqi and Sun Mo had a huge harvest.
After all, Bai Wenzhang was a great ancestor. Just observing how he drew spirit runes, how he moved his quill pen, and how he curved the lines were already a horizon-broadening precious experience.
“Sadly, I don’t have any weaponsmiths here. I don’t know if this weapon could achieve our predictable effect after it is forged.”
Bai Wenzhang sighed ruefully.
A single glove was drawn on the paper.
This was the spirit rune weapon that was freshly out of the oven.
Originally, according to Sun Mo’s thoughts, he wanted to make it into the shape of a pistol. However, Bai Wenzhang rejected it.
Because this was an energy weapon and what it used was spirit qi, there was no need to use any ammunition. Hence, there was no need for any complicated structure within.
Also, it would be too troublesome to use if it was in the shape of a rifle. How would it be like a glove that was extremely covert in comparison?
When one wanted to use it, they merely needed to lift their hands up. Maybe the enemies would already die before they could react.
“It can definitely be done!”
Li Ziqi was filled with confidence. This product was contributed jointly of 70% by Bai Wenzhang, 25% by her teacher, and 5% by her, a crystallization of their knowledge. It would succeed for sure.
And just to add on, the final suggestion on the weapon’s shape was suggested by Li Ziqi.
“Say, what should this weapon be called?”
Bai Wenzhang sat limply on the ground. He had not rested or slept during this period, and all his energy had almost been exhausted.
“Thanos?”
Sun Mo’s first reaction was this.
(I want to snap my fingers.)
“What the hell?” Bai Wenzhang was astonished. “Why don’t we name it Palm Lightning?!”
Dean Bai was very bad at coming up with names, and this was why he sought Sun Mo’s opinion. He didn’t expect Sun Mo to be similarly bad as well. “Ziqi, please speak!”
“I feel that the name ‘Thanos’ is pretty good.”
Li Ziqi actually didn’t like the name ‘Thanos’. But since this was something suggested by her teacher, she could accept it.
“Your student is so good to you!”
Bai Wenzhang was envious. “Let’s set the name then!”
“How about naming it Spiritwave Cannon? It is simple and easy to remember!”
As they discussed earlier, Sun Mo and the other two decided to convert the spirit qi energy into spirit waves.
“Sure!”
Bai Wenzhang only cared about the invention process. As for its name, he didn’t care. He rolled the spirit rune paper carefully together and passed it to Li Ziqi.
“It belongs to you now.”
“I can’t take it!” Li Ziqi rejected.
This might very well be an invention that could change the world. It was too valuable.
“Take it. You are the one who needs it the most.”
Bai Wenzhang forcefully passed it to the little sunny egg. “Your teacher’s combat strength is too strong. In his lifetime, he probably won’t need this thing.”
“Just accept it.” Sun Mo persuaded.
The value of this item was absolutely more when compared to a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art.
Bai Wenzhang gave the completed product to Li Ziqi. He then walked toward his desk. But after taking a few steps, his body trembled violently as he almost fell onto the ground.
Cough! Cough!
A large mouthful of blood was spat out.
“Dean!”
Sun Mo was shocked.
“Don’t worry!” Bai Wenzhang indicated to Sun Mo not to be nervous. “Let’s go, I’ll bring you guys to a place.”
Bai Wenzhang rapped a few times on his desk, and the floor touching the wall on the west suddenly opened silently, revealing a hole.
“I’ll bring you guys to take a look at the real secret of the Dragonspirit Manor.”
Bai Wenzhang led the way.
Li Ziqi glanced at Sun Mo with worry in her eyes.
(It seems that Dean Bai is about to die? Also, is it really fine to tell us such a huge secret?)
Sun Mo patted the little sunny egg’s shoulder and followed after Bai Wenzhang.
After walking down the spiral stone steps, they entered a tunnel. Sun Mo estimated that this place was now roughly a hundred meters below ground level.
There was no candlelight to illuminate the place, but the spirit runes engraved on the walls emitted a warm yellow light. Not only could they illuminate the area, but they also allowed one’s vision to become clearer and they could dispel the cold and dampness.
A few minutes later, the three of them arrived before a stone gate.
“Teacher Sun, can you open this?”
Bai Wenzhang asked with a smile.
There were mysterious and profound spirit runes carved on the stone gate. Only after deciphering them would one open the gate and be qualified to look at the things within.
Sun Mo activated Divine Sight.
And abruptly, a row of red words appeared.
“Mortal danger, please evacuate immediately!”
