How can there be such a strong superpower?

Followed by.

Spiritual power exploded near the muzzle, and a spiritual power firework suddenly bloomed.

Very gorgeous.

But the duration is just like fireworks, fleeting.

Apart from this gorgeous spiritual firework, no bullets were fired.

Wu You and Li Zheng were stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised and confused. They looked at Chen Lusi and asked, "Failed?"

"..."

Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, then turned around and frowned, "Well, I have a question. I can feel that my spirit has undergone a transformation process. What is this process?"

"Compression device."

Wu You immediately reacted when he heard this and explained, "The main function is to compress the spirit extracted from the stone and then stimulate it to shoot it out. This is a standard 'man-made ancient artifact' and currently has three branches.

After all, if it's not compressed, and the spiritual energy can't be ejected to cause damage, then there's no point in making it look like a gun."

Chen Lusi became even more curious after hearing this: "How does the compression device give the spirit aggressiveness? How does it allow the spirit to maintain its shape after leaving the body?"

"..."

Wu You was silent for a moment after hearing this: "I don't know this either. Or maybe it's not just me, all the enablers may not know this."

"What?" Chen Lusi was stunned.

"Just now I said that the compression device is a standard 'man-made antique', but that's not quite accurate. Strictly speaking, it should be called a 'standard black box man-made antique'. There are three branches of the compression device, whether it's the domestic branch, the church branch, or the Sumerian branch.

In fact, they are all heirlooms, and we modern people only know how to use them. You asked me how the compression device gives the spirit aggressiveness and how the spirit can maintain its shape after leaving the body. I can only tell you that the former mainly relies on the compression device, and the latter mainly relies on the particularity of the stones.

But the specific principle is like asking me why some empowerers can use out-of-body techniques and some can't. I don't know how to answer."

“…Then I think I know where the problem lies.”

Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, then asked, "You said that the spirit can maintain its shape after leaving the body because of the special nature of the stone. So, can I understand it this way? Those spirits extracted from the stone naturally have the ability to leave the body?"

"You can say that." Wu Youdian nodded.

Chen Lusi said softly, "The spirit I just poured in was absorbed from outside, and there are no stones condensed in my body."

Wu You was stunned.

Yes.

Originally, the "cutting-edge" weapon stones and compression devices complement each other and are indispensable.

As an energy source, the stones need to be given the ability to leave the body, and the compression device will compress and shoot out the spirit with the ability to leave the body.

But now Chen Lusi is absorbing the spirit from the outside...which is equivalent to missing a step.

And this problem...seems to have no solution.

After all, no one knows what is so special about the stones in the body of the person who can release the out-of-body technique.

Wu You was silent for a long time, then asked, "So it failed?"

Li Zheng and Zhou Jian also looked at Chen Lusi, somewhat disappointed.

"Let me try again."

Chen Lu thought for a moment, raised the sniper rifle on his shoulder slightly, absorbed the surrounding spirit again, poured it into the gun, and pulled the trigger.

puff--

The same.

The spirit exploded near the muzzle, turning into brilliant spiritual fireworks.

Because the spirit that Chen Lusi injected into the gun did not have the illusory "out-of-body characteristics", the compression device inside the gun was activated and could only set off fireworks.

And to some extent, this does look like a fire stick.

Chen Lusi did not give up and tried again, but there was still no change.

Li Zheng and Wu You sighed and roughly understood.

What a miscalculation...

"..."

Chen Lusi also gave up. This happened three times. It seemed that the probability of success would not be very high if he tried again.

So he slowly stood up from the ground and said, "It seems I have disappointed you."

"No."

Li Zheng shook his head. Although he was a little disappointed, he quickly put aside his unnecessary thoughts: "We are just trying it out. If it succeeds, that would be the best. If it doesn't, we can accept it. You don't need to feel any psychological burden.

I can understand, and Ji Xin can understand too."

Chen Lusi nodded, then looked at the gun in his hand, a little absent-minded.

to be frank.

He was actually a little disappointed.

The main reason is that he quite likes this type of modern firearms.

Wu You saw Chen Lusi looking down at the gun, thought for a moment, and took the initiative to suggest: "Then let's go out first. Since you can't use it, you should use normal 'cutting-edge' weapons."

"...No hurry, I have one more question."

Chen Lusi came back to his senses, a thought struck him. He suddenly asked curiously, "Since 'cutting-edge' weapons can be transformed into spirit-infused forms... have any Empowered users ever tried infusing their own spirits? Would this activate the compression mechanism? For example, could an Empowered user who can perform an out-of-body technique successfully fire a bullet using this weapon?"

"This... I seem to remember a similar rumor. Wait a moment, let me ask."

Wu You was stunned when he heard this, then suddenly shouted "Xiao Xiao" and left the gourd.

Chen Lusi waited patiently.

About twenty minutes later.

Wu You returned and as soon as he landed, he immediately said, "Of course it is possible. Kunlun told me that they tried it during the chaotic era... but it's not practical. Compared to directly inserting stones, this method has a very low conversion rate. Most importantly, the people who can release the out-of-body technique are basically one in ten thousand, and they are all geniuses.

For more advanced ones, the spirit release technique is used, which is far more powerful than converting it into bullets.

If you ask them to use a 'cutting-edge' weapon with built-in stones for emergency use, that's fine, but asking them to infuse spirits into guns is not as efficient as releasing spells. Simply put, the consumption and power are not proportional.

As for the lower-level ones, they don’t have enough spirit in their bodies and can probably only fire one or two bullets.

This is also the reason why Kunlun said that the weapons we made are fire sticks... But this is indeed feasible. Kunlun said that some top assassins will use this method in extreme situations, such as when the target is too strong and cannot be assassinated by close range using techniques, and can only launch a surprise attack.

Although this is very rare, there were rumors of it a few years ago.”

"I understand."

After hearing Wu You's words, Chen Lusi knelt on one knee again and shouldered the sniper rifle: "Then I'll try again."

"...the spirit you wish to infuse into your body?"

Wu You was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "That's unnecessary. The effort and reward are really not proportional. The amount of spirit energy you consume when firing a bullet is probably enough for you to use 'First Line' three times. In this case, it's more cost-effective to use a spell."

"No."

Chen Lusi shook his head, released the grip of the sniper rifle, and reached out to gather the surrounding spirits once more. "I remembered something... I think I can change the properties of the spirit ball, so I want to see if I can give it those properties and then activate the compression device."

During the Feng Zhen incident, there was a big guy named Ruan Dun who had very strong defense.

When Chen Lusi faced Ruan Dun, his solution was to give the spirit ball the "explosion" property and press it on his head.

Finally it succeeded.

The spirit ball exploded instantly, blowing Ruan Dun's head off.

"Huh? ...Give it the properties of a spirit ball?"

Wu You and Li Zheng were stunned when they heard this.

The two haven't reacted yet.

In just one second, the spirit ball took shape.

Chen Lusi finally glanced back at the three of them and asked, "By the way... if this gun breaks, I shouldn't have to pay for it, right?"

Li Zheng replied subconsciously: "Of course not, but you are..."

After hearing the exact reply, Chen Lusi did not answer, but gently grasped the spirit ball.

Spell——'Change Characteristics'.

Grants 'out of body' properties.

Grants the 'burst' attribute.

Grants the 'Impact' property.

Chen Lusi found that the spirit ball was about to get out of control, so he stopped thinking about doing more and directly stuffed the spirit ball into the gun through the spirit guide hole.

Simultaneously.

He gripped the sniper rifle firmly and placed his finger on the trigger.

Click——

呲——

The spirit ball just entered the gun.

Chen Lusi hadn't pulled the trigger yet.

There was a sound as if some structure was broken.

Followed by.

Suddenly, a blue spirit emerged from a row of suction holes on the top of the gun body, gushing out like a pressure relief!

At the same time, the gun body emitted a low buzzing sound, as if responding to something.

Li Zheng and Wu You saw this scene and watched the blue spirit spurting out from the top of the gun. They opened their mouths wide, stunned and at a loss.

No.

...pressure relief?

the other side.

Chen Lusi took a deep breath, refocused his attention, and then... pulled the trigger.

As if frozen in time.

Click.

The trigger was pulled.

The runes on the compression device inside the gun lit up, and the spirit spurting out from the top of the gun body suddenly stopped, and then instantly shrank, gathered, and collapsed.

The blue spirit condensed into a bullet, spun inside the barrel, and then flew out quickly.

And the moment the bullet flies out.

A blue energy wave spread out from the muzzle.

Like fireworks blooming.

In the center of the fireworks, a bullet shot out of the gun, flew out at an astonishing speed, and disappeared into the distance in an instant.

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

until.

boom--

A deafening roar came from the distance, a strong wind blew up, and black fog swirled in the gourd space.

The entire space seemed to be shaking, as if it had been hit by some powerful impact.

Li Zheng, Zhou Jian, and Wu You staggered and fell directly to the ground, their eyes almost popping out of focus.

"Fuck..."

The same space.

Shu Li and Xia Panqiu also staggered and fell to their knees on the ground.

Shu Li felt the shock and looked at Xia Panqiu in shock, "What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?"
