The streamlined silver-gray metal box was opened, and a faint chill spread out. In the thin frost mist, one could vaguely see an irregular transparent sphere the size of an eyeball, lying quietly in the box.
"Be careful. These energy cores are all purchased from the shelter through our internal channels. Each one costs more than twenty thousand."
A few people with dark circles stood to the side, their eyes carrying a trace of ridicule, as if they were ready to watch a show.
The frost attribute energy core needed to be preserved at a temperature of minus fifty degrees to ensure that the energy would not dissipate.
Although this energy core had just been taken out of the low-temperature energy storage, it had already completed its initial defrosting, but its surface temperature was still below minus thirty degrees. Moreover, the penetrative chill of the energy core was very strong, more lethal than normal ice.
Under normal circumstances, when the laboratory handled these energy cores, they would not directly touch them with their bodies. Instead, they would use specialized equipment.
This was common knowledge in the laboratory. Ability users from the Elemental Domain and Psionic Domain might know, but ability users from the Combat Domain would definitely not know!
When ability users from other domains were at a lower level, perhaps their strength could not compare to the Combat Domain, which strengthened their bodies. However, this did not prevent them from looking at the Combat Domain from an intellectual point of view.
Ordinary people would suffer frostbite if they came into contact with it, or even freeze their hands directly. Although it wouldn't cause too much damage to ability users, it was unavoidable for them to suffer some pain. If they were unlucky, part of the flesh on their hands might even freeze to death.
However, they purposely did not remind him, because they wanted to see Qi Yuan make a fool of himself. Someone who dared to talk back to Qu Shi in the workshop had to pay a small price as punishment. This was something that should be done.
Qi Yuan held his breath, and under the strange gazes of those people, he directly reached out and grasped the energy core in his hand.
As expected, it was the Combat Domain!
A few of the young people with dark circles said in their hearts at the same time.
The chill of the energy core was very sharp, but compared to the chill of the strange metal in the Blackthorn Swamp, it was just so-so.
At that time, the cold of the strange metal had not only frozen the entire island, but even the man-eating thorns on the island were all frozen. The strength of the chill was simply unimaginable.
Qi Yuan casually fiddled with the energy core in his hand a few times.
He easily adapted to the cold emitted from it.
Energy control!
The coldness stored in the energy heart quickly fused with the frost energy in the energy core. As the two types of frost energy fused, Qi Yuan slowly gained control of the energy core.
Those with dark circles under their eyes did not notice the changes in the energy core. They were still waiting to see Qi Yuan make a fool of himself.
"Should we remind him to put down the energy core? If he continues to hold it in his hand, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep his hand!"
"What's the rush?
The Combat Domain's ability users are all thick-skinned. This bit of freezing time is nothing at all. Look at him, his expression hasn't even changed! "
"Have you noticed that something is wrong?
He doesn't seem to be afraid of the energy core freezing! "
"Impossible!
The freezing power of the energy core is still very strong. Even if the defense is strengthened, the resistance to this kind of energy attack is very limited! "
"He's just a crude Combat Domain, not an Elemental Domain. How could he possibly resist the power of frost?!"
"Am I seeing things?
The frost energy core actually didn't freeze with the skin on his palm! "
"Is this energy core broken?"
…
Although the whispers with dark circles under their eyes were lowered, the distance between them wasn't too far. Therefore, Qi Yuan could still vaguely hear some words.
This group of exploited lab dogs actually hid such evil tricks in their stomachs!
Qi Yuan glanced at them. Looking at their doubtful and puzzled expressions, he vaguely guessed some information about the energy core. At the same time, he also had a new understanding of the inconspicuous ability of Energy Control.
Ever since he left the Thorns Swamp, Energy Control seemed to have fallen into silence. It hadn't been of much use. He didn't expect that at such a special time, Energy Control would once again display its powerful side. It was just like the time when he froze the mud and walked out of the swamp.
Qi Yuan gathered the energy of the frost energy core and inserted it into the bayonet at the handle of the Beheader. Only a slight kacha sound was heard. The entire energy core successfully completed the insertion and absorption.
"He actually embedded the Frost Energy Core in it!"
"He succeeded just like that?
I must have not slept for too long. I'm hallucinating! "
"What are you shouting about!
He only inserted the frost energy core. He didn't complete the connection of the energy channel at all. He also didn't activate the energy matrix. What kind of success is that? "
"That's right!
I can also insert the frost energy core, but it's just putting it in. It's useless!
If the energy matrix can't be activated, this Beheader will always be a half-finished product! "
"He's not bad!
He actually completed the insertion of the energy core with his bare hands. It's much better than the ordinary fighting field! "
"I'm still thinking about how he completed the insertion with his bare hands. Could it be that he actually awakened the ability to guide energy?"
"Impossible!
The crude fighting field doesn't deserve to awaken the ability of the elemental field! "
"It's a pity that this is just the beginning!
The most important step in the insertion of the energy core is to adjust the intensity of the energy output. Only when the intensity of the energy channel is reached can the energy input be completed and the activation of the energy matrix can be completed. "
"The crude fighting field, how can it … F * ck!
What did I see!
I think I saw an energy node light up! "
"I think I saw it too!"
"That's impossible. Could it be that an energy channel was successfully connected?"
"The energy intensity just happened to match one?
His luck is way too good! "
"His luck is not bad. Qu Shi needs at least ten minutes of debugging time to complete the connection of an energy channel!
He actually managed to coincidentally meet one! "
"This is nothing. Even if I were to embed it, I would be able to light up one or two energy nodes after a few tries. This Decapitator has 18 energy nodes, and each of them has a different energy intensity. I have to successfully connect all 18 energy channels and light up all 18 energy nodes of the energy matrix. Only then can it be considered complete!" Zhang Heng said.
"Tsk tsk!
I heard that the mysterious territory has a supernatural ability that can increase luck. If a crude fighting field ability user awakens this ability, can he light up eighteen energy nodes? "
"Impossible!
The crude fighting field doesn't deserve it! "
…
The voices of the people with dark circles gradually became louder. Their eyes were also attracted by the runes that lit up on the Beheader's blade.
Although it was only one of the runes, it was already shocking enough. In the new world, luck was no longer an illusory thing. If a person was lucky enough, it could even directly transform into real combat power.
Qi Yuan did not pay attention to the noisy dark circles under his eyes. He focused on adjusting the energy output from the energy core and connecting the energy channel inside the card.
Under the control of Energy Control, the energy intensity of the second energy channel was quickly tested. Qi Yuan carefully connected a wisp of frost power to the energy channel.
The second energy node lit up instantly!
"Why does it seem like another one lit up!
Is he really so lucky! "
"Look at his serious face, it seems like he can really guide the energy of the energy core!"
"Impossible!
The crude fighting field ability users can't guide energy!
They don't deserve it! "
"No matter how lucky he is, lighting up two energy nodes is the limit. If he can light up the third one, I'm willing to perform a handstand eating sh * t live!"
Before the voice died away, Qi Yuan quickly completed the connection of the third energy channel.
"F * ck!
The third one lit up, how can it be so fast? "
"Oh right, you just said to perform a handstand eating sh * t right!
We can start now! "
The person who spoke suddenly turned green. Under the unkind gazes of the surrounding people, he kept begging for mercy.
"I was wrong, brothers, please don't take it seriously!
When this project is over, I'll treat you all to a feast! "
"Tsk tsk, why do I feel like your feast has a strange taste!"
"Get lost … the fourth energy node lit up too!"
"What do we do!
We can't even beat the crude fighting field ability users, we're just a bunch of trash! "
"How many energy nodes do you think he can light up?"
"Speaking of which, he can't really light up all the energy nodes, activate the energy matrix, and complete all the processes of embedding the energy stones, right?"
"I think it's possible!
It's already four now, this isn't something that can be explained by luck! "
"Who is this person?
Could he be from the Sanctuary's laboratory? "
"It's very possible, no one in the Iron Chariots dares to go against Qu Shi!"
"The fifth energy node lit up again!"
"Did you guys calculate the time? Why do I feel like the speed at which he lights up the energy nodes is a bit too fast?"
"It's really fast, I calculated the time, it seems like he only used a total of three minutes to light up five energy nodes, faster than Qu Shi!"
"Only three minutes?
No way, this is already the fifth … F * ck, there's another one!
The sixth one! "
"Qu Shi seems to have gone to the next room to adjust the equipment, should we inform Qu Shi?"
"I don't dare to go!"
"Whoever isn't afraid of being scolded can go by themselves!"
"I'm not going either, I'm scared of being scolded!"
As they spoke, all the experimenters in the workshop gathered, all of them staring at the movements of Qi Yuan's hands without blinking.
Qi Yuan silently lit up the energy nodes one by one, the experimenters watching from the side also became quieter and quieter, as if they were worried that their voices would disturb him.
When more than half of the 18 energy nodes had been lit up, leaving only eight unlit, the sound of talking could no longer be heard in the workshop, and even the breathing rate of the experimenters watching from the side quietly slowed down a lot.
There was a trace of disbelief on their faces, and all their attention was focused on Qi Yuan's hands, as if they were watching the birth of a miracle. No one noticed that Master Qu had quietly leaned over and was silently watching the Decapitator in Qi Yuan's hands, watching the energy nodes light up one by one.
Compared to the young experimenters, Master Qu was more shocked. He had personally designed the Decapitator, and only he knew how difficult it was to complete the connection of the energy channels, light up the nodes, and activate the energy matrix with his bare hands.
Even he, who clearly knew the parameters of each energy connection point and the corresponding energy intensity of each energy channel, would need the assistance of instruments to continuously guide the direction of the energy and adjust the energy intensity to complete the connection of the energy channels if he wanted to complete the last step.
Without any parameters for the energy connection points, connecting the energy channels with one's bare hands was no different from threading a needle with one's eyes closed. Even if one awakened Extraordinary abilities related to the elemental domain, it would still be an impossible task.
How did Qi Yuan do it?
Master Qu stared at Qi Yuan's hands as if he wanted to find the answer, but no matter how he looked, he could not find the answer he wanted.
At that moment, an experimenter saw Qu Shi standing at the side and was shocked. He was about to greet him, but Qu Shi stopped him with his gaze. He had no choice but to shut his mouth and continue watching Qi Yuan's performance.
Buzz!
When the last energy node was lit up, the entire energy matrix was instantly activated.
All the experimenters breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, as if they had witnessed the birth of a miracle!
It was unknown who started clapping, but soon, everyone was not stingy with their palms and applauded at the same time.
All the applause and praise were given to Qi Yuan, to this vulgar combat domain ability user in their eyes!
Even Master Qu nodded lightly, expressing his approval of Qi Yuan.
A faint blue light bloomed in an instant, and a piercing chill spread from the blade. The Decapitator was instantly filled with a fierce murderous intent.
Qi Yuan gently waved the Decapitator in his hand. He could clearly feel the extremely cold aura in the blade that was ready to be unleashed. With just a thought, the powerful icy power would instantly explode like a bomb, wildly destroying everything around it.
Was this the power of energy pouring out?!
Qi Yuan's heart trembled. He could completely imagine the terrifying damage this terrifying power would cause if it was released in the enemy's body. If the icy power was replaced with the power of thunder and lightning, the explosive power would be equivalent to a small plasma bomb.
Master Qu coughed, and all the experimenters instantly scattered. However, before they left, some of them could not help but give Qi Yuan a thumbs up.
Qi Yuan also noticed Master Qu, who was standing silently at the side. Although his expression was very calm, Qi Yuan could still see a trace of doubt in his eyes.
The strength of his control over energy is beyond your imagination!
Qi Yuan silently said in his heart.
The two of them looked at each other. The doubt in Master Qu's eyes quickly disappeared and became somewhat deep.
The surrounding experimenters all slipped away, leaving only Qi Yuan and Master Qu.
"Master Qu, does this mean that I've completed the second condition?"
Master Qu took a deep look at Qi Yuan and said indifferently, "Come with me!"
Qi Yuan did not understand, but he still followed Master Qu all the way to a completely enclosed room. A black sphere the size of a millstone stood in the middle of the room. It was somewhat similar to the sphere used in the Hunter's Guild's test.
"This is the room to test the power of the weapon."
Master Qu pointed at the sphere in the middle of the room that was supported by a metal rod.
"Swing the Beheader at it with all your might, then activate energy pouring out!"
Although all the energy nodes had been lit up and the energy matrix had been activated, Master Qu still had some doubts.
There was no need for any equipment or knowledge of any energy connection parameters. Even in the Biology and Mechanical Laboratory of the Black Steel Shelter, only a few researchers above Rank 3 could do it. Those researchers were all Rank 4 Elemental Domain or Energy Evoking Domain Ability Users.
That was the domain of the strong!
Therefore, Master Qu wanted to conduct a final test to dispel his doubts.
Some special abilities could complete the activation of the energy matrix when the embedding was not completed, but it was impossible for them to fully display the effects of the energy matrix.
As long as the Beheader could produce the effect of energy pouring out, it would mean that Qi Yuan had really completed the last step of the Beheader.
