Infinite Fighting

This (Zhenyuan) spacetime rule of [Internal Breath] was obtained by Zhang Jicai.

Its function is "internal energy".

It contains a great deal of information about inner energy.

But there are only four main ones: "healing", "nurturing", "destroying", and "blessing".

It can be quickly absorbed by cells, accelerating cell division and wound healing.

It can nourish materials and increase their density.

It can cause collisions and directly damage materials.

It can be applied to the body and surfaces of objects to enhance defense and durability, indirectly increasing the burst damage ceiling. It can also be released through compression to enhance power.

Similar to Yuan Qi, but with fewer attribute variations available, to truly master it, one needs to combine it with various physical rules of the real world and leverage the rules inherent in the world itself.

With the rule of [Internal Breath] within him, Zhang Ji can refine internal breath regardless of the world or whether the conditions are met.

However, Zhang Ji's current body does not possess much internal energy.

That compressed internal energy just now was all that was left.

Of course, he possesses [boundless energy], which doesn't require painstaking refinement; a mere trace is enough to instantly fill his entire body.

On the other side, next to the fallen bear.

Delina breathed a sigh of relief.

Gray was then helped up, and Kenzie, dragging his badly injured body, and Mels dug Delina out.

"How did it die?" Gray asked, leaning against the bear.

After he was swept away, his mind was still foggy, and he didn't pay attention to what was happening here.

Upon hearing this, Mels glanced subtly in Zhang Ji's direction.

As an archer, his eyesight was naturally excellent, and he immediately detected the direction of the attack. He already knew of Zhang Ji's extraordinary abilities, so although he was surprised, he wasn't too unexpected.

And Rona also discovered that the Wind Whisperer's information gathering ability was always top-notch.

She and Kenzie exchanged a glance, confirming each other's thoughts. Even Gaia and Yes, who was walking by, exchanged a look.

Well, they've now determined that the disabled young man they rescued is no ordinary person.

"In short, let's record the mission information with the recording stone first, and also brew some healing black ointment. Let's rest here for today, and tomorrow, after the injuries have healed a bit, we'll dismantle the valuable parts and take them away," Kenzie said.

He didn't answer Gray's question, which Gray found very puzzling.

Lorna took out the image-recording stone to take a picture. This kind of magical item is not particularly cheap, and the recording time is limited, only able to record no more than thirty seconds of footage.

To record additional footage, you need to clear the existing video information.

Therefore, the adventure team only uses it to record information after completing the mission.

It's worth mentioning that some people have also used it to disguise mission visuals.

However, the price of disguising yourself is that you will be put on the wanted blacklist by the Adventurers' Guild. If the amount of money you defraud is too large, even a Tier 4 Epic Adventurer will personally come to make trouble for you.

Therefore, only some audacious desperados or desperate gamblers can do this.

Mels arrived at Zhang Ji's tree immediately, untied the rope binding Zhang Ji, and said, "Brother, thank you."

If Zhang Ji hadn't intervened, their team might not have failed their mission, but they would definitely have paid a heavy price.

At least two people are definitely going to die.

Although this is quite common in many adventure teams.

The mortality rate in their line of work has always been high.

"The craftsmanship of your gun is very rough," Zhang Ji complained.

A bunch of decent materials, and all you can make is a barely fireable gun. That's stupid.

If it were a normal item, Zhang Ji wouldn't have needed to do anything; a few more bullets from Mels would have been enough to kill the bear.

"It's an apprentice's practice piece, but it's cheap. A proper masterpiece would cost at least a hundred gold wheels, but this is only five gold wheels, and it even comes with seven extra bullets. They only made money on the materials," Mels said.

Although he had previously called people unscrupulous merchants, he was well aware that he had gone a bit too far.

With such a small amount of money, you want to buy a sorcery gun that can kill a level 3 berserker bear with a single shot?

Even ten times the amount wouldn't be enough!

If these materials weren't so difficult to reuse after being engraved with circuits, he probably wouldn't have been able to buy them at such a low price.

Zhang Ji simply said, "I'll revise it for you later."

"Dude, you know about this too?" Mels asked in surprise.

Zhang Ji looks to be under twenty-five years old. How can he be so knowledgeable?
Could it be that it has the bloodline of other long-lived species?
Or perhaps they simply took some kind of life-extending drug?
"I know a little," Zhang Ji said.

He inscribed the array himself back then. Although he didn't delve deeply into weapon crafting, once you understand one method, you understand all methods; the principles are all similar.

Zhang Ji planned to help Mels modify the gun so that he wouldn't have to take matters into his own hands if anything happened in the future.

"Then I'll have to trouble you," Mels said.

Zhang Ji was moved by Mels to the vicinity of the squad.

Among the group, apart from Gray and Delina who remained unchanged, the others' attitudes towards Zhang Ji subtly shifted. In short, they appeared more reserved in Zhang Ji's presence.

Inside the deformed cauldron of Delina was a black ointment being boiled down; it was something that had been boiled down from a solid ointment.

Use a spoon to scoop a little bit and apply it to the animal hide that has been boiled in hot water and then dried, then apply it to the wound.

Common injuries and bruises can be healed quickly, and even bone fractures can be treated.

However, the broken bone needs to be straightened. This task is done by Gaia. He has light elements shining on his palms. He can see the internal condition by shining his light around the broken bone of Delina. Then, he can use his fingers in combination with magical energy to reassemble the broken bone fragments and the original bone. After applying medicine, he can fix it with medical cloth and metal splints. That's it.

Gray also had a broken bone. Gaia squeezed him a little harder, which hurt him, and he immediately cried out, "Master Gaia, be gentle, be gentle! Aren't you a civilized person? Can't you be a little gentler?"

Gaia ignored him and instead squeezed harder, causing him to scream in pain.

While treating their injuries, they were also preparing food for their next meal.

After Dalina was injured, it was Rona who cooked. She simply chopped up the bear meat and threw it into a folding metal pot, added large chunks of heavily oiled, salty, and spicy seasonings that someone had prepared, added water, and then started cooking.

This seasoning is called "Belialdel".

It's a transliteration.

The original meaning is "everything tastes good when cooked".

Indeed, this is true. With this kind of seasoning, any fishy or foul smell can be masked, and you can eat anything you cook.

Zhang Ji's hands are now able to move a little more flexibly, and he can even take a few unsteady steps while walking.

He held Mers's magic gun in his left hand and a silver needle in his right, reworking the magic circuits engraved on it.

Even masters need professional tools and a dust-free workshop to do this. This is the first time Mels has ever seen someone like Zhang Ji just casually grab a silver needle and sit in the wild to do it.

He couldn't understand it, but Gaia and Yes were staring intently at the scene.

Gaia is very knowledgeable. When he was studying at Niels University, he had a classmate who did related research, specializing in energy circuit inscriptions. Those circuits were only one percent the thickness of a human hair.

But all of that was achieved using various advanced tools.

But Zhang Jichun's hand-engraving was so smooth and fluid, he started engraving without the slightest pause, using only a needle – it was simply unbelievable.

Yes was also somewhat distracted. The assassin profession requires precision, and he had some related training, but Zhang Ji's technique still shocked him. He had excellent eyesight and could even vaguely see that there was an extremely intricate and complex magical energy circuit being reconstructed at the tip of the needle.

Soon, Zhang Ji reached the last point. The surroundings became very quiet, and everyone held their breath. Only the sound of the wind in the jungle and the sound of the broth boiling in the distance could be heard.

An extremely tiny glimmer appeared at the tip of the needle. Zhang Ji gently wiped it, covering the final circuit with the original melted material, providing a rudimentary protection.

“That’s it.” Zhang Ji handed the silver needles and the sorcery gun to Mels and said, “The material’s conductivity is limited, so this is all I can do. There’s still a 3% activation loss.”

"Three percent energy loss?"

Mels thought he had misheard.

That's practically zero loss, isn't it?
Why does it seem like Zhang Ji is still a little dissatisfied?

"Give it a try!" Gray urged.

He hadn't expected Zhang Ji to possess such skill, and now his curiosity was piqued.

Without hesitation, Mels loaded a bullet, gripped the pistol with both hands, aimed at a large tree in the distance that was about one meter in diameter, and pulled the trigger.

The energy in the energy block is rapidly conducted through the circuit modified by Zhang Ji, and further compressed and propelled, ultimately distributing the energy evenly to the projectile.

"Boom~!!"

As the bullet was launched, Mels's hand jerked violently, and he staggered back several steps before managing to dissipate the recoil.

When he stood up again and looked ahead, he saw a small hole that was open from front to back in the tree in the distance.

Gray, leaning on his stick, walked to the tree, circled it, and followed the trail to another tree a dozen meters away. There was another hole that was open from front to back. He walked more than two hundred meters away before he saw a somewhat deformed bullet embedded in the center of a tree.

The bullet itself is made of a decent material.

After all, a bullet only needs to be hard; with enough force as a propulsive force, it can destroy most things.

"My Almighty Apache! If that shot into that bear's head, it would have pierced right through!" Gray exclaimed.

His attitude towards Zhang Ji changed instantly.

For technicians, it's a different story.

Let alone a paralyzed person, as long as they can still speak, their value is off the charts.

Not to mention the master craftsman who can modify any needle into such a weapon.

The others were also shocked by this scene.

Myers held the gun and examined it repeatedly, suddenly taking great care of it.

Gray, leaning on his stick, approached Zhang Ji and said politely, "Brother, I have a favor to ask. Do you think you could modify my axe? It's so difficult for me to chop things; I can't split anything that's even slightly hard."

“Gray! Mr. Zhang needs to rest,” Kenzie said.

Gray reluctantly shut up, but still gave Zhang a look and whispered, "I know a few good brothels. The girls there are incredibly young and fresh. Even if you can't do anything, I guarantee you'll have a blast."

After he finished speaking, he limped away.

Luo Na served Zhang Ji a bowl of meat soup, smiled, and then left without bothering him any further.

As the team's social butterfly, she understood the importance of maintaining a certain distance in social interactions. Excessive enthusiasm could easily offend others; sometimes, showing appropriate goodwill was enough, and anything more was simply superfluous. (End of Chapter)
