After the upgrade design, Ju Qingmeng will comprehensively replace the core chip, energy transmission system, and material of this blade.
Once the modification is complete, this knife will have standard Fourth Level weapon performance, with an extreme instantaneous output power of up to 6000 kilowatts.
It looks identical to the Third Level Flame-cutting Giant Blade, but when it truly performs, the difference is worlds apart.
During slashes, the modified Flame-cutting Giant Blade’s tip can release ultra-high frequency oscillation plasmas, unleashing extreme instantaneous temperatures equivalent to certain areas of a nuclear fission reactor.
If unable to engage the enemy up close, the wielder can also utilize a charging strategy, first accumulating the plasma flow on the blade, then swinging it out to unleash a band of flames thousands of degrees hot.
Ren Zhong chose the Flame-cutting Giant Blade for two reasons.
First, the blade material is unique. Without the infusion of electricity, it is very soft and can be wrapped around the waist for concealed storage.
Second, Ren Zhong’s true preference has always been for blades and heavy swords.
He previously used dual guns because he had not reached the Fourth Level parameters and couldn’t master them, so training was pointless.
Now he can finally let the modified Flame-cutting Giant Blade shine for the first time in this Virtual Reality.
He swung it casually and said with a smile, "Teacher Ma, you don’t understand. Dual guns are actually Lin Wang’s style. What I always liked was this."
He smiled with great confidence.
Wielding a weapon that suited his character, he felt a sense of grand ambition as if he had the world at his fingertips.
The fear of being completely dominated by the opponent with half the output power was still vivid in his mind, but this time, he also had the qualification to control the Five Senses Resonance.
Now, he believed he had the strength to fight.
"Alright then. Since you’re ready, I’ll let you see my true strength."
"What? You were holding back last time?"
Ma Xiaoling spread her hands, "Pfft! What do you mean by holding back! I didn’t even exert myself and you fell! Is that my fault?"
With just this remark, Ren Zhong’s newly built momentum was nearly disrupted.
"Enough talk! Come on!"
The next moment, the two of them charged at each other, fiercely engaging in combat.
Ma Xiaoling, exerting her full power, was indeed formidable. After accumulating power on her specially materialized spear, the spear’s electric light flickered, and silvery glow flashed.
Ma Xiaoling planted her foot and steadied herself, holding the spear with her right hand. Utilizing high-frequency wrist and forearm trembling, the spear tip wavered unpredictably, thrusting forward with a swishing sound.
For a moment, the sound of the spear was like thunder and lightning, the spear moving like a dragon, the silver serpents surging.
The two-meter-long spear was wielded single-handedly, waved like breaking waves surging towards the shore, rushing violently at Ren Zhong.
Ren Zhong wielded the Flame-cutting Giant Blade with both hands, fiercely brandished around a meter in front of him, spraying a blaze of plasma streams, transforming his entire body into a raging flame.
The flames clashed violently with the silver dragon of waves.
Electric light and fire collided intensely.
Neither of them intended to retreat, advancing step by step.
The dense sounds of their weapons clashing were like a barrage of firecrackers going off.
In this Virtual Space, the two of them fought with electricity and flame flying everywhere.
A minute and a half later, Ma Xiaoling’s armor, with limited power output parameters, gave an overheating warning.
She shivered her spear tip once more, the wave crest pooling into a serpentine strike, forcibly pushing Ren Zhong back several steps.
Ren Zhong’s armor had a higher power output, and while his equipment was fine, he was somewhat mentally and physically fatigued.
To enhance the realism of the battle, he had activated physical feedback.
The exhilarated Ma Xiaoling laughed heartily, "That was fun! So thrilling! You’ve indeed reached the Fourth Level! You’re much more formidable with dual-hand blades than with dual guns. Much more interesting than before!"
Ren Zhong twisted his neck, panting heavily, "You’re not bad yourself."
"Your footwork while swinging the blade is intriguing. Although your reactions in various aspects are still inferior to mine, you managed to last three minutes without losing, thanks to those combos. Did you specifically learn them? Where did you learn them? From whom?"
Ren Zhong smiled, "From a master named Yu Cheng... En."
Ma Xiaoling admired him, "You were indeed an Advanced Citizen before. To design such well-crafted combat techniques in mecha fighting, you definitely aren’t an ordinary person. Again! This time I’m going to use my Big Move."
Thirty seconds later, Ren Zhong collapsed to the ground, his body gradually disintegrating.
A fast-spinning, foot-long spiral bullet was lodged in the back of his head, striking down continuously like an electric hammer, sparks flying everywhere, brain matter bursting into a mosaic display.
Ren Zhong’s form began to reassemble.
