My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Your Highness, this thing of yours... its power is terrifying!"

When Zhang Xinnian came to his senses, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Just now, there was a loud bang and a flash of fire.

Immediately afterwards, the tree exploded.

If this hit a person... Zhang Xinnian's throat moved, and he dared not think any further.

It was only at this moment that he truly understood why Jiang Xiaobai had said before that this thing had to be made separately.

If word of this thing were to get out, the entire capital would probably be shaken.

Do not!

It's not just the capital city.

If those people in the martial arts world found out, they'd probably all go crazy!

Liu Guan stood to the side, equally stunned for a long time.

He stared at the broken, charred tree, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning.

This thing was actually made by his own hands.

No wonder!

No wonder the Crown Prince wanted to separate the blueprints.

No wonder the Crown Prince treats those little things so seriously.

The real power is right here!

After a brief moment of shock, Liu Guan's face gradually revealed an overwhelming excitement.

He... actually made such an object!

For the people of Tianji Workshop, this was an unparalleled honor!

What kind of hidden weapon or mechanism?

What an ingenious array!

Compared to this thing, everything else would pale in comparison!

Thinking of this, Liu Guan's gaze toward Jiang Xiaobai had completely changed.

There was a hint of reverence in his respect.

Everyone outside says that the Crown Prince is a good-for-nothing.

He is an ignorant and incompetent playboy.

Even if he had some prejudice when he first came.

But now, if this is considered waste?

What are the people of the world then?

Are they even worse than trash?!

If anyone dares to say that the young master of our family is ignorant and incompetent again, Liu Guan will be the first to object!

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the two shocked people, but maintained a smile on his face.

But in reality, he was also somewhat shaken.

Yes, he didn't expect that this thing, being the first of its kind to be made in this world, would be even more powerful than he had anticipated.

I don't know if it's because Liu Guan's craftsmanship is too good, or if the materials in this world are really different.

In short, this gave him a huge boost of security.

Thinking this, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but look at Zhang Xinnian: "Xinnian, you know more about martial arts."

"Could you roughly estimate what level of strength would be needed to withstand this attack?"

"this……"

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Zhang Xinnian's expression stiffened for a moment, then he glanced at the broken tree.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Xinnian spoke earnestly, "Young Master, if we don't dodge and instead try to withstand it..."

"I'm afraid it would require at least a Grandmaster level."

"Grandmaster?"

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Um!"

Zhang Xinnian nodded and said, "Entering the Ninth Realm and returning to simplicity, such beings possess profound internal energy and extremely terrifying protective qi."

"Even so, I feel like I can only withstand it; if I really get hit, I'm afraid I'll get injured!"

At this point, Zhang Xinnian couldn't help but swallow again.

Because he was talking about a grandmaster, which is the level that all martial artists in the world dream of.

How could such a small trinket in the prince's hand injure a grandmaster?

If this gets out, who would believe it?

"That's fine!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai's face immediately broke into a satisfied smile.

Being able to injure a grandmaster is enough.

After all, in this capital city, grandmasters aren't like cabbages on the street.

If a grandmaster were to kill him, he would admit defeat.

But as long as you're not a grandmaster, hehe...

Jiang Xiaobai glanced down at the little gadget in his hand and immediately felt much more at ease.

He then carefully put it away and tucked it into his pocket.

"Your Highness, these are the remaining bullets."

At this moment, Liu Guan wrapped the remaining small items in a handkerchief and handed them to Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai took it and solemnly put it away, saying, "Old Liu, please continue making this whenever you have free time."

"The quantity doesn't need to be too large, but it must be enough for my needs at any time."

"Also, keep it secret, and don't let anyone else know!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness!"

Liu Guan's expression immediately turned solemn, and he nodded emphatically: "This old man understands."

Now, Liu Guan dares not be careless in the slightest.

If this information were to leak out, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Liu Guan's bandaged hand and softened his tone: "You should go back and rest."

Then Jiang Xiaobai looked at Zhang Xinnian and said, "Xinnian, go and prepare some good ointment for Old Master Liu."

"This procedure can't be delayed."

"good!"

Zhang Xinnian nodded quickly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Guan's expression immediately showed a hint of emotion.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Alright, don't be so polite."

Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand: "Go quickly."

Liu Guan bowed again before leaving with Zhang Xinnian.

After the two left, Jiang Xiaobai lowered his head and touched the little gadget in his arms, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

That's good now.

He's finally not a helpless weakling anymore.

Anyone who dares to kill him in the street again.

Ha ha.

Even if a peerless master arrives, he'll have to ask the 'Desert Eagle' in his arms if it agrees!

As Jiang Xiaobai pondered this, he felt much better and turned to go back to his room.

After lying down on the bed, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Cool!

So cool!

……

the other side.

The inner hall of the Marquis's residence.

Jiang Jingcheng sat there, holding a teacup in his hand.

The teacup remained suspended in mid-air, and no one took a sip for a long time.

He was clearly in a daze.

Shen Yun walked in from outside and called his name a few times.

"master?"

"master?"

Jiang Jingcheng did not react.

Shen Yun frowned, stepped forward, and gently patted Jiang Jingcheng on the shoulder.

"master!"

"Um?"

Jiang Jingcheng's body shuddered violently.

The teacup in my hand almost spilled.

Coming to his senses, Jiang Jingcheng immediately looked up and glared angrily at Shen Yun: "Why do you walk so quietly?"

"I've called you several times, but you just didn't hear me."

Shen Yun was taken aback, then frowned and said, "Master, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Jingcheng's face twitched slightly.

What are you thinking?

His mind was now filled with the scene with Jiang Xiaobai.

boom!

A flash of fire.

The tree is gone.

That scene replayed in his mind again and again.

The key point is that he was standing in front of Jiang Xiaobai at the time, saying he wanted to give it a try.

fortunately!

Luckily, that brat's hand slipped a little.

If that were to actually hit him...

Jiang Jingcheng looked down at his chest.

Although he is quite strong.

But that thing, no matter how you look at it, doesn't seem like something he could withstand!

After a moment of silence, Jiang Jingcheng suddenly looked at Shen Yun: "Madam."

"Um?"

Shen Yun looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Jiang Jingcheng coughed and said, "Did I... speak too loudly to our son before?"

Shen Yun was taken aback, then nodded and said, "The sound was indeed quite loud!"

"That……"

Jiang Jingcheng coughed lightly: "Well... I used to beat him up all the time, do you think... this brat won't hold a grudge?"

"Why did you suddenly say that, sir?"

Shen Yun looked puzzled.

Jiang Jingcheng's lips twitched.

The image of the blasted tree flashed through his mind again, and he gave a wry smile: "Sigh, that brat, he's come up with this little gadget!"

"Extremely powerful, comparable to a grandmaster's strike!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun was utterly shocked, then glanced at Jiang Jingcheng and exclaimed, "Master, have you lost your mind?!"

"No!"

Jiang Jingcheng smiled helplessly; it would be hard for anyone to believe this if it were told to others.

but……

Jiang Jingcheng sighed and waved his hand, "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Go to sleep!"

Jiang Jingcheng paused, then added, "I'll have that kid get me one too!"

"With that stuff, why bother practicing some kind of martial arts..."
