"...Understood."
Chen Lusi sighed, then weighed the sniper rifle in his hand, thinking for a mont before kneeling on one knee, setting it up, and resting it on his shoulder.
But soon, he thought of sothing and turned back to ask, "By the way, does this thing have strong recoil?"
Wu You explained, "Didn’t you try it before? Theoretically, what it shoots is spirit, which essentially has no recoil."
Chen Lusi recalled, then nodded, with his shoulder against the gunstock, left hand supporting the gun, right hand gripping the handle, and placing his finger on the trigger.
Then.
He turned his head to glance at the handle, confird the position where the spirit enters the guide hole, and then looked into the scope.
Behind Chen Lusi.
Li Zheng, Wu You, and Zhou Jian all looked at Chen Lusi with curiosity and excitent.
Among them, Zhou Jian glanced at Chen Lusi’s gun-holding posture, seemingly wanting to speak... but seeing his serious side profile, after thinking, decided to hold back the words.
And Chen Lusi didn’t pay attention to the gazes of the three behind him, took a deep breath, and slightly exerted force with the hand gripping the handle.
The surrounding spirits began to gather towards his hand.
The whole process was very quick.
Chen Lusi had quite a bit of experience with molding spirit balls after doing it for so long; now he could make a large spirit ball in a second. Although the scenario was sowhat different since he needed to guide the spirit into the sniper rifle, it didn’t take much ti.
Li Zheng and the others also noticed the spirit gathering around, imdiately widening their eyes, ready to witness a miracle.
Chen Lusi packed the amount of an ordinary spirit ball into the sniper rifle, felt it was about right, and forcefully pulled the trigger.
Pop—
A very strange, akin to sothing splattering sound was heard.
Imdiately after.
Spirit energy exploded near the muzzle, a burst of spirit fireworks suddenly blooming.
Very splendid.
But like fireworks, it was short-lived.
And besides the splendid spirit fireworks, no bullet was fired out at all.
Wu You and Li Zheng were montarily confused, sowhat surprised and puzzled, looking at Chen Lusi, asking, "Did it fail?"
"..."
Chen Lusi was silent for a mont, then turned around, frowning, "Yeah, there’s a problem. I can feel the spirit went through a conversion process, what is this process?"
"Compression device."
Wu You quickly reacted upon hearing this, explaining, "Its main function is to compress the spirit extracted from the stone, then trigger it to shoot out. This is a standard ’artificial antique’ with currently three branches.
After all, if it wasn’t compressed, and couldn’t shoot out the spirit to cause damage, there’s no point in making it into a firearm."
Chen Lusi beca even more curious hearing this, "So how does the compression device grant spirit its offensive nature? How does it maintain its shape after detachnt?"
"..."
Hearing this, Wu You was silent for a mont, "I don’t know either, or rather, none of the empowerers knows."
"What?" Chen Lusi was taken aback.
"Just now I said the compression device is a standard ’artificial antique,’ which isn’t entirely accurate. Strictly speaking, it should be called a ’standard black box artificial antique,’ with three compression device branches, whether dostic, the church branch, or the Sur branch.
They’re actually heirlooms. Us modern people simply know how to use them. When you ask how the compression device grants spirit offensive nature or maintains its shape after detachnt, I can only tell you the forr relies primarily on the compression device, and the latter relies on the stone’s special properties.
But for the specific principle, it’s like asking why so empowerers can use detached techniques, and so can’t, I don’t know how to answer."
"...Then I think I know where the problem is."
Chen Lusi was silent for a while, then asked, "You said spirits maintain shape after detachnt due to the stone’s special properties, then can I understand it as those spirits extracted from stones naturally have detachnt characteristics?"
"You could say that." Wu You nodded.
Chen Lusi said softly, "The spirit I just poured in was absorbed from the outside, and I didn’t condense a stone inside ."
Wu You was montarily stunned.
Indeed.
Originally, ’tip’ weapons, stones, and compression devices are complentary, indispensable existences.
Stones serve as the energy source, needing to grant spirits the detachnt characteristic, while the compression device compresses spirits with detachnt characteristics and shoots them out.
But now Chen Lusi absorbed the spirit from outside... it’s equivalent to missing a step.
And this problem... seems unsolvable.
After all, no one knows what special features the stones in empowerers capable of releasing detached techniques have.
Wu You was silent for a long ti, then asked, "So did it fail?"
Li Zheng and Zhou Jian also looked at Chen Lusi, a bit disappointed.
"I’ll try again."
Chen Lusi thought, lifted the sniper rifle slightly from his shoulder, absorbed the surrounding spirits again, injected them into the gun, and pulled the trigger.
Pop—
Exactly the sa.
The spirit exploded near the muzzle, turning into splendid spirit fireworks.
Because the spirits Chen Lusi injected didn’t have the elusive ’detachnt feature,’ the gun’s internal compression device, when triggered, could only release fireworks.
And in so sense, it was indeed quite like using a firewood stick.
Chen Lusi, unwilling to give up, tried once more, but still, there was no change.
Li Zheng and Wu You sighed, probably understanding.
Misjudged...
"..."
Chen Lusi also gave up, three tries all ended the sa; it seed unlikely success would co from further attempts.
So he slowly stood up from the ground, then said, "Seems like I disappointed you."
"Not at all."
Li Zheng shook his head. Although he was a bit disappointed, he soon dismissed the unnecessary thoughts, "We ca with a try-and-see ntality. Succeeding would be great, but we’re okay with failure, no need for you to carry any psychological burden.
