Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 139: Psychic Armor Heavy Killing Blade
"Okay, you can stop now."

Tabitha looked up from behind the monitor.

Song Shi turned the long sword and the tip hung on the ground.

In front of him was a rack with a scarred square metal plate hanging on it and force sensors underneath.

"How should I put it? The output is indeed much stronger than that of a natural person, but that's about it. Is the effect of psychic energy really that strong?"

Staring at the force data on the display, Tabitha sighed, "Okay, now try using Psychic Power, and I'll take a look—"

A red-gold flame burst out in an instant, as if it would engulf the entire room, but in the next moment, the flame converged and coiled around Song Shi.

A trace of golden color passed by in an instant.

Like a rolling knife cutting through butter.

The thick metal plate was strong enough to withstand a magazine from an ordinary kinetic pistol and close-range shooting. It cracked silently, fell to the ground with a thud, and then burned into embers in the attached flames at a speed visible to the naked eye.

".hiss."

Looking at the data that soared in an instant, Tabitha gritted her teeth and said, "Well, it's definitely completely different."

"But there is such a big difference between the two states. If someone launches a beyond-visual-range attack, wouldn't it be..."

“No, you’re a little mistaken, Tabitha.”

Song Shi shook his head.

He stretched out his left hand, looked at it, and said calmly: "For me, psychic power is my instinct. It is not a 'clothes' that can be taken off, but a natural 'skin'. Just now, I didn't use psychic power, and was simply testing my body. I needed to restrain myself."

“You are quite psychic then.” Tabitha sighed. “How do you feel about your new weapon?”

"--good."

Mentioning this, Song Shi flipped his wrist and changed the long sword from vertical to horizontal.

The shape of this knife is generally straight blade, with a slight curve on the back, and the total length is about one and a half meters.

The edge of the blade used for killing is coated with a single molecular layer of triple-stacked, hexagonal crystal carbon nitride material, and the entire body is coated with matte paint, presenting a deep blue-like black color.

Even though it had not been run in for a long time, the moment Song Shi held it, he felt as if he could use it as easily as his own arm.

He understood why.

Because in a sense, this weapon is made of his own blood - not the "blood" of ordinary people, nor the "blood" of psychics, but "boiling blood".

At the same time, the "flame of forging" is used to bless machine tools and other casting tools throughout the entire process.

During Tabitha's test, even when the weapon was left alone, it still maintained a sense of warmth. But when Song Shi held it, he only needed to invest a little bit of spiritual energy, and this warmth would quickly turn into burning heat.

But that's not the point.

Compared to the previous weapon "Steel Crow", the most notable feature of this long sword is that it is mixed with zero element crystals and engraved with an alchemical matrix, which transforms its properties into "psychic weapon". It is not an improvement in a certain performance, it just becomes more adapted to psychic energy and suitable for use by psychics.

As a [Dayuan] who chose "Fire", use flames to bless weapons - such as a sword.

In the case of a non-psychic weapon that appears to be a fire sword, the "fire" and the "sword" are separate. Rather than being a fire sword, it is more like there is flame burning on the sword.

As for psychic weapons, there is no distinction between "fire" and "sword". The two are integrated into one, which is a pure "fire sword".

The consumption of psychic energy is less, the effect of psychic skills is stronger, and psychics can, to a certain extent, transcend the limitations of materials and increase the strength of psychic weapons.
As for Gabey at the time, as a [Transcendence], he himself was the most powerful weapon, or in other words, the bio-clone [Hundred-foot Pavilion] was his psychic weapon. When he had the Steel Crow in the past, the effect of the "Forging Flame" could make up for this to a certain extent, but it was not a true psychic weapon after all.

This new weapon has been improved in all aspects in the various tests just now - another point is that it can withstand the blessing of the "fire", and will not collapse like the Steel Crow after being exposed to the fire, and become a disposable weapon.

—Throwing in the fire, and exerting all his strength, the slash launched with it was enough to burn the streets to ashes in one blow.

Now I have ten fire seeds.

".By the way, Song Shi."

Tabitha suddenly asked, her tone full of curiosity: "Now, who is stronger between you and Gabe? I mean when that guy is in good condition."

"It's still Gaboy."

Song Shi answered quickly: "After all, he is a 3rd ring mid-level psychic, and he has the resources and training of Jade Pharmaceuticals. He is stronger than some wild psychics who have gone astray."

“Oh, that’s okay.” Tabitha seemed relieved, then realized that something was wrong and added, “Well, I mean…”

"I need to acquire two more psychic skills, and then the number of fire seeds will increase to sixteen. No, fourteen will be enough."

After Song Shi evaluated it again, and after confirming that it was correct, he nodded and said, "There will be no problem in defeating Gai Boyi head-on like this."

“.Okay.” Tabitha opened her mouth, was silent for a while, and swallowed what she was about to say.

At this moment, when mentioning psychic skills, Song Shi felt a little regretful.

It is a psychic skill originally created by [Nandou], and was temporarily named "Nandou's Seventh Edition of Psychic Skills and Secret Plans (Continuously Updated and Revised)" in his previous life. He originally planned to take the time to reintegrate and rename it after breaking through the fifth ring, and pass it down as [Nandou]'s inheritance.

But before he could finish it, he and Renata died in a life-and-death battle. But to be honest, that guy was really strong and gave me a lot of inspiration.
Unfortunately, now, even the closest self-created psychic skill has to wait until the third ring.

Without thinking about it anymore, Song Shi turned the long knife again. When he was about to try again, Tabitha suddenly spoke.

"Stop, stop, stop. I don't have the space to show you here. The basic data has been measured. You can study the rest slowly later." She paused and said, "Song Shi, give this knife a name."

"Name"

Song Shi stopped and couldn't help pondering.

He rubbed the blade of the weapon, feeling the slight warmth and softness, and thought for a while.

"——The Heavy Killing Blade."

He said, "It's called the Heavy Killing Blade, or 'Heavy Killing' for short."

Tabitha looked dissatisfied. "It doesn't sound very nice, and it sounds a bit too cruel." She paused for a moment and thought of a more appropriate word.

"No need."

Song Shi stared at the long blade: "The only purpose of weapons is to kill - to put it simply, most of them are used to kill their own kind."

The young man's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Since we are ready to kill people, there is no need to give it a sacred name or a noble meaning. Those who kill will be killed. I can kill others, and others can certainly kill me. It's just a matter of who falls first—"

"——This is 'Major Murder'."
