As he pondered, Wang Zheng's thoughts drifted away.
If he could truly master this technology, Wang Dashao might become the first genius in China, or even the entire planet, to create a psionic thermal weapon.
It has been upgraded to a national-level protected animal.
He might even get the title of "Father of the Psionic Grenade" in textbooks in the future.
"Hehehe, from now on the government will spend money to breed and research scarabs, while I will be responsible for mass production."
Even if it's not a 50/50 split, I'll take a slight loss, maybe 40/60... or even 30/70...
That could be exchanged for so many spiritual crystals and rare treasures.
Thinking of that bright future, Wang Zheng's eyes were now completely filled with the allure of wealth and status.
...
So where does this great step begin?
For a moment, Wang Zheng looked at the scarabs in the distance, which were shimmering with colorful light, his eyes filled with fervor.
He originally planned to use over 70,000 units of his spiritual energy limit as the activation condition for [Nine Yin Candlelight], to directly eliminate this group of outsiders blocking the army group.
However, after witnessing the unusual changes on the battlefield, Wang Zheng decided to show mercy.
These scarabs have now become treasures; we must not let our carelessness lead to their complete annihilation.
With this thought in mind, Wang Zheng raised the bone knife in his hand again.
As Wang Zheng's mind stirred, two flames, one black and one red, instantly spiraled upwards along Wang Zheng's arm once again.
"Fifty thousand, fifty thousand, fifty thousand..."
Wang Zheng kept repeating it to himself.
He now realized the value of these scarabs, roughly estimated the size of the array, and reduced the spiritual energy input by 20,000.
As the spiritual energy limit in the data panel plummeted, two flames shot into the sky from the bone knife.
Immediately afterwards, the flames in the sky intertwined and entangled in mid-air, gradually merging into the extremely hot [Nine Yin Candlelight].
In an instant, all the moisture in the air above the entire battlefield was sucked out, and even the air began to become distorted and hot.
The terrifyingly hot, dark red flames were stretched and shaped in mid-air, instantly transforming into a proportionally enlarged, dark red longsword.
Seeing the incredibly cool Wang Zheng in the distance and the flaming blade soaring into the sky, both Xu Zhihong and the soldiers behind him clenched their fists in tension.
As for Wang Zheng, although he is a show-off, he is now quite speechless.
While the candle flame attack was incredibly powerful, the way the flames fused together left Wang Zheng speechless.
Yes, this was not something Wang Zheng did on his own initiative.
It's not that he can't directly summon the complete Candle Flame; every time he uses the [Nine Yin Candlelight] ability, he needs to go through such a fusion process.
To be fair, although this cool fusion method is very ceremonial, Wang Zheng also quite likes it.
However, the problem is that while this method certainly creates a sense of superiority, it significantly slows down the process of launching a sneak attack or making an offensive move.
Even though he has become more proficient in manipulating the flames, it has only accelerated the process of flame fusion and cannot skip this stage.
Although Wang Zheng did not know the specific reason at this time, based on the rejection of Zhu Yan by him, he had a vague guess in his heart.
...
Seeing that the upper limit of spiritual energy on the data panel had stopped decreasing, Wang Zheng also felt that the candle flame seemed to have reached its limit.
Without further hesitation, he slashed fiercely at the horde of strange beasts in the distance, which were beginning to stir restlessly due to the scorching heat.
In an instant, the candle flame, which was originally only a few dozen meters long, transformed into a hundred-foot-long giant blade in mid-air, rushing straight towards the horde of strange beasts with overwhelming force.
There was a hissing sound, as if the air itself had been torn apart.
Accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, an immense and unparalleled pressure suddenly emanated from the bone knife burning with blazing black flames in Wang Zheng's hand, instantly spreading to an area of several kilometers in radius.
"boom--"
After a series of violent explosions that tore through the air, countless black and red tongues of fire erupted from the flaming longswords that were slashing down, turning the entire sky into an eerie color.
I don't know if these beetles are fearless, or if they lack intelligence and can't help but want to absorb elemental particles, or if they want to prove their absolute dominance over elemental attacks.
At this moment, all the elemental scarabs took flight, densely overlapping each other, opening their shells and activating their powers.
In an instant, large swaths of colorful water curtain defenses lit up, crisscrossing and overlapping, quietly awaiting the arrival of the candle flames, forming a stark contrast with the extremely violent black flames in mid-air that seemed to destroy the world.
These two superpowers, one static and one dynamic, seem determined to prove which of the elemental forces truly deserves the title of the strongest spear and the hardest shield.
