Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

Chapter 156: 115, Adult Zhao Jiayi

A moment passed.

The surging memories that had emerged gradually subsided, and the subtle changes deep within Lin Qing’s cells also slowly came to a halt.

Opening his eyes, the world before him seemed to have undergone new changes.

The flows of various energies, rays, and waves… It was as if at this moment, they were all reflecting in his mind.

“Superpower Material?”

Lin Qing extended a hand, and a droplet of fresh blood seeped from beneath his skin. Streaks of cyan light began to flow and converge within this droplet of blood, just like 3D modeling, as copious amounts of cyan energy continuously compressed and coalesced, gradually outlining the shape he desired.

About five minutes later, having consumed approximately one-tenth of his energy, he finally formed a roughly one-meter long, pitch-black longsword with a faint cyan luster.

“Is this… the Superpower Material derived and condensed from one’s own matter and a large amount of energy?”

Lin Qing examined the longsword in his hand, and upon tapping it lightly, it felt like real material.

Moreover, he had specifically adjusted the density of the Superpower Material, and by his rough estimation now, this longsword probably weighed about one pound.

“Let’s see the hardness.”

Lin Qing’s hands took on a metallic luster, one hand grasping the flat of the blade while the other took hold of the hilt, trying to snap it in two. However, the pitch-black blade showed no signs of bending.

“Oh? This sturdy?”

A deep cyan light suddenly burst forth in Lin Qing’s eyes, and the muscles in his arms swelled dramatically, clearly exerting his full strength.

Yet, the longsword showed no intention of bending, not even a slight deformation.

“Indeed…”

Lin Qing revealed a hint of a smile, “The Fourth Energy Level ability of the ‘Sky Track Monarch Bloodline,’ called ‘Superpower Material,’ truly can form material similar to nanomaterial, even adjusting its density.”

According to the research materials from Dawn Group—

From a microscopic perspective, ‘Superpower Material’ has extremely small grain sizes, a vast number of grain boundaries, and very great obstacles to dislocation movement, which is the so-called size effect, resulting in this material’s astonishing strength and hardness.

Mastering this ability, one could also control the density of Superpower Material and adjust its mass.

Lin Qing didn’t understand how he was controlling the microscopic changes of Superpower Material.

It was like how ancient people couldn’t explain how their arms moved.

“Store.”

With a thought, cyan light circulated over Lin Qing’s body, and the pitch-black longsword also merged into his body within the cyan glow.

“Draw.”

Once he extended his hand again, with cyan light flowing, the pitch-black longsword reappeared in an instant.

“Indeed, it can be stored away,” Lin Qing couldn’t help but smile.

The Superpower Material was originally of a nature that was half material, half energy, and could naturally transform into a compressed state of energy, be taken into the body, and then, when needed, be converted back into a material state outside the body.

It was a matter of a mere thought for him.

However, once energy transformed into Superpower Material, its properties changed, and it could no longer replenish his energy.

“It just can’t be used by others for a long time.”

Lin Qing recalled the data about this ability.

The stable state of Superpower Material also constantly consumed energy and had to be supported by his personal energy.

Otherwise, once it left him for more than 13 seconds, it would automatically revert to a compressed energy state and begin gradually to dissipate.

“However, I also have ‘Heavenly Orbital Coordinates,’ which can attract and allow Superpower Material, upon reverting to a compressed energy state, to directly return to the coordinates…”

Lin Qing felt somewhat relieved.

Heavenly Orbital Coordinates could naturally attract objects containing his energy, so attracting his energy itself was even simpler.

He could easily reclaim the energy rendered into Superpower Material by making himself the coordinate.

“Hmm… In the next few days, I’ll create more weapons out of Superpower Material.”

Lin Qing pondered, “It’s a pity I can’t make firearms or bows and arrows; otherwise, the capability of this ability would be far too vast.”

Firearms utilize the pressure of gunpowder gases or other energy sources to launch projectiles.

And bows and arrows use the elastic deformation of the bow to store energy, then suddenly release that energy to shoot arrows at high speed.

But Superpower Material is purely hard and cannot undergo the slightest elastic deformation, naturally making it impossible to create bows and arrows.

The best application method is to use the high strength and hardness of Superpower Material to become extremely sharp, making its edge very, very thin, and consequently, the lethality is quite substantial.

Of course, one could also try to increase the density of Superpower Material to make extremely heavy weapons, but there’s a limit to how dense it can get.

“Not bad.”

Lin Qing waved the longsword in his hand with satisfaction; the black shadow of the blade flickered, yet it almost made no sound of cutting through the air.

It was just excessively sharp, and the air resistance it encountered was also very low.

In his previous life, shortly after the outbreak of the apocalypse, when he and his peers were searching an abandoned mansion, they found a cold weapon collection room, and he chose a sharpened Tang sword at that time.

Later, he learned the techniques for using the Tang sword and became accustomed to it.

This longsword formed from Superpower Material was indeed a Divine Weapon, sharp enough to cut through iron as if it were mud, suitable for close-quarters combat.

“Sigh.”

With a flash of cyan light, the longsword in Lin Qing’s hand disappeared instantly.

“‘Superpower Material’ also requires twenty-five repayments.”

Lin Qing pondered, “If I could cultivate ‘Endless Heavenly Brilliance,’ the power of hurling it to kill enemies, combined with long-range weapons crafted from Superpower Material, and then setting Heavenly Orbital Coordinates on the enemy…”
