My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 222 - 176: The True Advanced Weapon

"Don't understand?"

Ji Xin rubbed the head of the golden retriever on her lap, tilted her head slightly, and suddenly asked.

Shan Li nodded lightly: "Hmm."

"Then do as I say now."

Ji Xin thought for a moment, and directly said, "Extend your hand, then release the Spirit within you, gathering it in your palm."

Shan Li extended her hand and followed suit.

Ji Xin continued, "Use Change Attribute to give the Spirit different attributes, anything will do."

Shan Li hesitated for a moment, began to give the Spirit in her palm different attributes, then said, "Okay."

Hearing this, Ji Xin turned her head to look at the Spirit gathered in Shan Li's palm, then extended her own fair hand.

Shan Li was somewhat puzzled.

Ji Xin asked, "Can you give it to me?"

"I think maybe not."

Shan Li hesitated for a moment, then replied, "This is the Spirit within me, with my imprint, I can hand it to you, but only if I maintain control, you can only keep it for me... so, if you want me to give it to you, I can't do it."

"That's exactly the problem."

Ji Xin wasn't surprised, withdrew her hand, and gently tapped her chest: "The Spirit within us all has a distinct imprint, after all, our ability to sense and absorb Spirit comes from Authority Ability... and the moment we acquire Authority Ability, our souls are imprinted.

The Spirit within each of us is unique, even the Spirit released from the Stone of those who have died, and every Compression Device might also be unique, it's like a locked door, and our Spirit is actually the key."

Shan Li, hearing Ji Xin's words, looked down at the Spirit in her palm, combining it with the report on Chen Lusi from the day before, roughly understood what she meant.

She was silent for a moment, then asked, "You're saying... the Spirit that Chen Lusi condensed happened to fit the Compression Device in the 'Advanced Weapon', becoming the key, thus having such power?"

"Perhaps... but the key I'm talking about is a bit different from what you're saying."

"I guess, in ancient times, different Empowerers might have needed to design their own unique Compression Device.

But we can't do it, we can only follow the paths of our predecessors, like everyone sharing a public mold, and Compression Devices can only perform the most basic work based on the simple conditions of the quality and volume of the Spirit.

This is probably why all the 'Advanced' weapons produced now shoot bullets... because we ourselves have limited the usage scenarios of this 'mold', everyone who gets a firearm immediately thinks of the same thing—bullets.

Initially, everyone walked into a dead end."

Shan Li: "..."

Ji Xin looked down at the golden retriever in her arms, then continued, "To put it in an easier way, everyone has only pushed open a crack in the door, but the door is still locked, of course, it can't unleash much power.

So how can you open a locked door? Finding the same key by chance is one way, but the probability is very low.

The second way is to change the lock, if only we could change... or say modify the existing Compression Device.

However, I think neither of these solutions will be effective immediately, in Chen Lusi's case, I lean more towards the last possibility."

Shan Li: "The last... possibility?"

Ji Xin released the golden retriever's head, pointed to the distance, and the golden retriever immediately jumped off her lap and ran off to play in the distance.

As she watched the golden retriever leave, she softly said, "Just now I saw an interesting record, describing the National Seal, leaving aside those wheels of being ordained by heaven, eternal longevity, divine right of kings, legitimate orthodoxical stuff, I saw an interesting description—'unrestricted.'"

Upon saying this,

She paused, slowly turned her head: "Combining that with the phrase 'the Jade Seal gathers Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi', what do you think is unrestricted? Or let me put it another way, existing materials all indicate that the birth of Empowerers isn't recent... so how should a Feudal Dynasty manage Empowerers?"

Shan Li was silent for a long time: "You're saying... the old Dynasties could also gather Spirit?"

"I don't know... I just know that the Spirit around us has no imprint."

Ji Xin didn't answer directly, but rather extended her hand, gently stirring the Spirit floating around her: "In theory, it has no characteristics, it can be absorbed by anyone, it can also open any 'locked door', it's a... universal key."

Shan Li: "..."

A universal key...? If this is true...

She fell into contemplation.

Until.

Ji Xin's voice rang out again: "I remember the 'Advanced' weapon of the First Rider Position is very powerful, and many people aren't clear about how they do it... right?"

...

As the destination drew closer,

Li Zheng's frequency of observing the surroundings also increased.

Although he didn't show it on his face, saying he wasn't nervous at all would indeed be false.

After all, it was also his first time crossing the national border to execute a mission.

And at that moment, a member of the Security Army suddenly ran up behind Li Zheng and whispered a few words.

Hearing his subordinate's words, Li Zheng paused his steps slightly.

A bit confused... What exactly did Ji Xin's orders mean over there?

Upon noticing he stopped,

Anna, who had been carrying a corpse all along, also stopped, looked at him, and then slowly asked, "... Are we ready to head back now?"

Li Zheng heard her words, turned his head, about to respond.

But Anna suddenly shifted her gaze, looked in another direction.

Simultaneously, a member of the Security Army, who had inherited the sense Authority, suddenly shouted out.
