Chapter 2605: Breaking the Half Artifact (Part Two) 🔓

Published: February 13, 2025

With a loud bang, a transparent substance erupted from this monocular telescope-like device, flying a short distance in what seemed like a 'slow' manner to Ye Zhongming, before striking the target along a rather irregular trajectory.

Afterwards, the target was engulfed by these substances, and in the next moment, it exploded into pieces.

Watching the shattered target scattered around, Ye Zhongming's expression showed slight dissatisfaction.

He had studied the Type Three Firearms for several days, nearly without rest, and within such a short time, he had recorded over two thousand thoughts regarding the deductions about this equipment. The results were certainly there, and they were quite good.

The three attack methods of the Type Three Firearms: the first was a standard attack, which Ye Zhongming grasped completely after only a few minutes of observation; the challenge lay in the second and third attack methods.

After obtaining this weapon, Ye Zhongming naturally inquired about it and learned some information about this well-known sub-artifact, as well as the names given to its two abilities by Zi Que: the second one named ‘Kiss’ and the third one named ‘Metamorphosis’.

The ‘Kiss’ ability primarily manifests in two aspects. The first is automatic target tracking, and the second is explosive damage, mainly focusing on shockwave effects, which are transmitted into the target's body through the equipment.

Of course, none of these were the most crucial points. The important thing is that the Kiss ability carries a hint of the power of rules.

It is precisely because of the power of rules that it can inflict sufficient damage on Ye Zhongming, who is armored in premium renyi level and black earth armor.

Zi Que is a peak expert, and it’s normal for sub-artifacts that utilize the power of rules to be created—though it is difficult, the premise and foundation are there.

However, Ye Zhongming has not reached that peak. The capability of the Kiss ability theoretically cannot be realized by him.

Yet, just because Ye Zhongming hasn't crossed that threshold doesn't mean he has no understanding of the rules at all.

Since entering the secret realm on Earth, those kings have been in pursuit of the rules, and Ye Zhongming has learned a lot from them. Perhaps it is superficial and contains many errors, but at the very least, he has developed that kind of awareness in his mind.

After arriving in the universe, he truly came into contact with the rules and beings that could wield the power of rules. Whether it was Yao Han Su, Bei Yin, or Qing Mo and Chao Yang, they have all explained their experiences of the power of rules to Ye Zhongming in detail.

Coupled with the Old Dean's teachings, while Ye Zhongming has yet to comprehend the power of rules, he genuinely knows what it is.

In other words, Ye Zhongming's foundation is solid and well-laid, and when his fuleira exceeds 190,000, it will be easier for him to break through the limits than for others.

Knowing and understanding the power of rules allows Ye Zhongming to clarify how the Kiss ability manifests in the structure of the Type Three Firearms, thus understanding the manufacturing concept.

He has created this rudimentary monocular telescope-like weapon and has completely simulated the Kiss capability. Although its power is still inferior to the original version, once Ye Zhongming truly begins manufacturing with sufficient materials and effort, the difference should be negligible.

Ye Zhongming's dissatisfaction primarily comes from his discovery that the third ability of the Type Three Firearms, which could have potentially killed him if he hadn’t activated the Light Body ability at that time, has also reached a certain level of resolution. He is just a bit short of fully understanding it, but with a few more days, he believes it should be manageable.

At that time, he may not achieve the power of the Metamorphosis in the Type Three Firearms, but imitating it should not pose a problem.
