The moment Huo Lianrong felt the heat of the candle flame, he was stunned. After Wang Zheng extinguished the flame, he stared blankly at Wang Zheng and asked:
"This is a fusion of two flames, a composite element? No, that's not right. Apart from the different colors, I don't feel any difference in their auras."
Is it this special arrangement that makes your 'Spirit Crystal Bomb' so powerful?
Although Wang Zheng clearly knew it had nothing to do with this and that the process was simply due to his lack of control, he wasn't foolish enough to reveal it now, so he kept it a secret.
"I don't know either. I'm just an ordinary person, I don't understand the principles behind this. You've asked the wrong person..."
Although Wang Zheng's curt reply, "You don't understand," reassured Huo Lianrong, his previous anger vanished. Instead, his face lit up with fervor, and he immediately addressed Tang Guoan:
"Old Tang, did you bring any equipment made from materials from the Demon King? Quickly take it out and let Major Wang try it out. I didn't expect it to be so powerful; the highest grade target I used was only A-grade alloy..."
Although Huo Lianrong was full of excitement, Tang Guoan on the other side was now green with envy.
'Demon King materials, my foot! Do you think they're as easy as cabbage?'
Old Huo has really gone crazy from all that research. It's fine if Wang Zheng can't break it, but what if he actually manages to break it for himself?
With so many people at the military headquarters, he wouldn't be short of contribution points if he reached his position. This meant that even if hunted demon kings were put into storage, weapons made from demon king materials would be snapped up immediately.
This small dagger was something he had to fight hard to get his hands on.
Although he heard Wang Zheng's boastful words and indeed saw from Yan Hao's constipated expression that it might be true, Tang Guoan had no choice in the matter now.
Huo Lianrong has already shifted the blame to him, so how can he say that he didn't do it?
Even putting everything else aside, just looking at Wang Zheng's amused gaze, he couldn't bring himself to say those words!
Moreover, Tang Guoan, as the temporary team leader, had been singled out by his teammates. They couldn't very well let the master from the Special Affairs Bureau use his own weapons to test on Wang Zheng...
After agonizing over the decision for a long time, and then glaring at his incompetent teammate, Tang Guoan, despite his reluctance, finally gritted his teeth, pulled out a pale white dagger, and tossed it onto the table with a pained expression.
"Clang..."
With a crisp sound, the short dagger, about 30 centimeters long, spun a few times in the air before landing steadily on the alloy table in the conference room.
It has to be said that this A-level Awakened, who was preparing to become more familiar with the Transcendent Realm, actually had some skills.
Just from that casual toss, you can tell that the old man's skills are quite remarkable.
Judging from the color of this dagger, it is clearly the same style as the Miao sword that Wang Zheng upgraded. It is obviously made of alloy mixed with the bones of a demon king, and it is one of the top-ranked A-grade weapons in terms of strength.
It's clear that even a major general in the Imperial Capital Military Region doesn't live a wealthy life.
Wang Zheng thought to himself, "This guy is so reluctant to part with this palm-sized dagger. If he were to take out his own Miao sword now, wouldn't he be drooling with envy?"
Looking at the dagger on the table and Tang Guoan's distressed expression, Wang Zheng's expression turned somewhat strange.
Although he still had many venomous python king bones in his own storage space, Wang Zheng was not so kind.
It's difficult to explain, and there's no guarantee that people will accept him using his own reserves. What if they suspect him, Young Master Wang, of falsifying information...?
It was obvious that this was just an excuse Wang Zheng made for himself. The main reason was that Wang Zheng was still holding a grudge against Old Man Tang for trying to steal his spoils.
Wang Zheng felt inexplicably comfortable at this moment. He needed to feel sorry for the candle flame so that the candle flame would remember how powerful it was and how awesome the "spiritual energy grenade" he created was, making the capital feel that the resources were well spent.
"Burning your dagger is letting you off easy. If you ever dare to mess with me again, I'll burn your ashes too!"
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng used a little force to lift the dagger off the table, then looked at the smooth cut on the alloy table, twirled the knife a couple of times in his hand, and looked at Tang Guoan with a wicked grin, saying:
"Grandpa Tang, I think the amount of demon king material in this dagger might be a bit too little. I'm afraid it's not enough to prove the power of the Candle Flame. Should we get a different one?"
Hearing Wang Zheng's obvious sarcasm, Tang Guoan's face twitched, then he closed his eyes to rest, pretending not to hear, and kept silently chanting in his mind:
Out with the old, in with the new; out with the old, in with the new...
'Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. If it really gets damaged, I'll definitely apply for reimbursement when I get back.'
In the end, the old man couldn't hold back any longer, and Wang Zheng cursed under his breath in anger.
Although Tang Guoan did not respond, Huo Lianrong, who was standing to the side, could not hold back any longer and quickly chimed in:
"That's enough, that's enough. If we can melt this dagger, or even just damage it a little, that will prove it can harm a sixth-grade beast. Major Wang, hurry up and do it..."
Seeing how impatient this guy was, Wang Zheng finally understood. This professor might have really gone crazy from doing research. Ever since he saw his candle flame, he seemed to have changed completely, losing all his previous indifference and bossiness.
Then Wang Zheng curled his lip, tossed the dagger back to Tang Guoan with ill intent, and stood up, saying:
"Please keep this 'precious' dagger for now, lest I accidentally break it."
"Since we're going to test it, let's go somewhere else. I'm worried that if it really catches fire, the temperature will be too high for you to handle."
Tsk, that really is the kind of thing that kills someone by destroying their spirit!
Although Tang Guoan was so angry at Wang Zheng's arrogant attitude that he could only put the dagger away temporarily, his emotions, which had finally calmed down, began to fluctuate again.
The thought of having to take it out again once they arrived at their destination made him feel as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.
At this moment, he deeply regretted accepting the mission, but having come this far, he could only suppress his grievances and move with the others to the research institute's testing grounds.
