Chapter 157 - Can Technology be Counted as Power? (2/2)
“A knock-off?” Nezha looked at Liu Shuai, some words still seeming confusing to him, “It’s not a treasure conserved in the fortress on a mountain. I got it from my mentor, and it is called Nine Dragons Shield of Divine Fire. It’s powerful.”
“Bullshit!” Liu Shuai’s eyes went stagnant. He reached out in want of a touch but ended up with not yet a touch, “It’s far more than powerful. It’s virtually a dreamy weapon. What would I need the power for equipped with this? Why do I ever bother with Heavenly Divine Fire Pillars!”
“Heavenly Divine Fire Pillars is awesome, too!” Nezha nodded but frowned sequentially, “Nine Dragons Shield of Divine Fire runs by power as well. I’ve had a magic competition with that grandma, so I can’t use this shield now for the deficiency of power.
“Oh… The magic weapon needs power, too…” Hao Ning glanced at Liu Shuai implicitly. He had supposed that all the magic weapons were like Falling Treasure Coin, which got everything done at a cast.
“Whereas it could turn out differently with soul coins.” Nezha grinned and asked Hao Ning tentatively, “Brother Hao Ning, may I have some of your material of soul coins?”
“Go for it. Anyway, I can’t‒” Hao Ning would like to say that he couldn’t use the power but trailed off seeing Liu Shuai’s wink towards him and swapped his words on the tip of his tongue by saying: “Anyway, I have a large amount of it.”
“Really?” Nezha’s eyes twinkled. He pointed at the bottle prudently and material of soul coins in size of a grain of rice flew out into Nine Dragons Shield of Divine Fire.
With a bang, Nine Dragons Shield of Divine Fire began to shake dramatically. The environment around them got distorted. Hao Ning saw that the meeting room surrounding them started to melt drastically. The space between the door and chairs nearby, which presented a view more and more blurred, was as if being burned out.
“What is it?” Hao Ning shrieked, “Nine Dragons Shield of Divine Fire can dissolve the space?”
“No, no, that’s not the case.” Zhou Yuan responded instantly. With muttering incantations, he grabbed in the air and then released. A sharp crack uttered in the air and the surroundings turned better. He said, “Nine Dragons Shield of Divine Fire’s power exerted in a scale too large. My Virtualised Reality included only the meeting room, so it got the border on fire and caused some hitches. Thanks to the incense I added, and it’s fixed now. I have covered the whole building with Virtualised Reality. It should be enough.”
“Piss it…” Liu Shuai wiped his sweat and peered at Zhou Yuan, “You’ve made such a fast growth.”
“That’s sure.” Zhou Yuan smiled and said unashamedly, “You see what a god I am.”
“Okay!” Nezha, hearing Zhou Yuan’s words, stretched his palm. A little sparkle of flame flew out from the shield and wandered in the air without giving out any heat. The lingering sparkle looked so cute.
“So…” Zhou Yuan peered at the harmless, therefore useless sparkle from Nine Dragons Shield of Divine Fire, “I have to ask, is it all that Nine Dragons Shield of Divine Fire can achieve? It’s totally different from what’s told in tales.”
“Is it?” Nezha grinned and reached for a tap. The sparkle seemed to move at a wink but got back to where it was before instantly. Before everyone got conscious of what was going on, Zhou Yuan fell to the ground at a bang with a pile of ashes under his buttock.
“Ouch, it hurts!” Zhou Yuan stroked his bottom and got stunned when he turned back to look, “What happened?”
“Amazing!” Xiao Hong did a thumbs-up to show his professional appreciation as a born fire elf , “The fire dragons of Nine Dragons Shield of Divine Fire were only able to attack in the shield. But you have made it unusual by letting them fly to the outside. Moreover, your Fire Controlling Technology was almost miraculous. When your mind stayed still the sparkle reserved its heat, but when it stirred it could burn the stool into ashes in a moment. I, a born fire elf, also admire the skillful maneuver. And you only consumed a little power right now, right? If you exerted all your power, the whole building would have been wiped out in a blink, yes?”
Hao Ning listened and came to realize Nezha’s tremendous strength. What was scare about the Nine Dragons Shield of Divine Fire was not the overwhelming force but the fast speed. Such a spell which turned the stool into ashes at a wink allowed you no time for defending.
“This…is not my strength. Nine Dragons Shield of Divine Fire is still only able to set fire in the shield.” Nezha scratched his head and said timidly, “That’s the feature of the material of soul coins. It can bring new changes to magic weapons. Meanwhile, the best benefit of it is that people who don’t hold power can use it as well ‒ Isn’t this similar to your applying an airplane? You don’t have the capacity to command the cloud and fly, but as far as you infuse the airplane with petrol, it can bring you everywhere on the land.”
Nezha said and put away the Nine Dragons Shield of Divine Fire. He uttered jealously, “Hao Ning, your material of soul coins is the best of all. My shield of fire could only summon a sick fire dragon with their material of soul coins. It not only flew slowly outside the shield but also was useless except when lighting a candle. It couldn’t even boil a cup of water. It’s far less strong than yours.”
“I understand the logic.” Hao Ning felt astounded in heart. He hadn’t expected the stuff he made by chance last night was so powerful. While he remained composed on the face, “But why is Mr. Fei in want of this? Even if the material of soul coins could help him to utilize magic weapons as a person equipped with low power, where would he get so many magic weapons? Anyway, he can’t rob you of your weapons, can he?”
“Well…” Nezha scratched his head, “He definitely didn’t rob mine. Or we should say there’s no need for him to do that. Because he has an amazing invention, which requires the material of soul coins.”
“Invention?” Hao Ning seemed bewildered, “Mr. Fei is an inventor as well? In my view, he shouldn’t be named Fei Changhe anymore. Feidison suits him better. What did he invent?”
“Bang!” Came from Xiao Hong a slight crackle. Xiao Hong’s expression changed and pulled a tiny card out of his pocket instantly.
