Remembering that massive mechanical body made of countless gemstones, Zhou Yi finally had a direct understanding of the strength of the Heavenly People.
The Light Core was nothing more than an ordinary cell within the body of a Heavenly Person.
"Having a Light Core means you are a Light Core Body."
The Warlord raised his finger, with the Light Core orbiting around it: "Light Cores are all crystalline facets like this, acting on elements, they can transform power into various forms."
"For example."
He raised his hand and pointed.
Instantly, a huge lens was formed in front, and the light emitted by the Light Core shot through the lens into the sky, stretching out a clear and straight black trail of light in the air.
The light point exploded in the high-altitude clouds with a bang, blasting out shockwaves that spread in all directions.
"Another example."
The Warlord shook his finger.
The Light Core rotated again, using another facet to face front, this time absorbing all the external light, causing the visibility around to suddenly drop.
Zhou Yi understood: "This is... using the power of the Crystal Core to refract and change the motion of matter."
"Smart."
The Warlord praised: "I think what you're most interested in is how to form a Light Core."
"Just do what you've been doing, continue to expand your consciousness capacity, and collect the elements of your choice."
"You have to turn the Consciousness into an extension of the element, for matter and consciousness are two sides of the same entity. Allocate a portion of the Conscious Key in the Memory Core to the element, this process needs to be operated by yourself to understand."
"Different elements, different conditions for forming the Light Core. Some elements are inherently powerful, difficult to convert into energy, but have high strength; others are abundant in quantity, easy to convert, but need to rely on a larger accumulation..."
"The specifics, once you embark on this path, you'll know what to do."
Zhou Yi summarized.
To forge a Light Core, two things need to be achieved.
First is to deeply integrate the element with the Conscious Key.
Second is to learn to transform elemental material into energy.
In this process, the Light Core will condense.
"Unfortunately, your hand, I cannot heal."
"I can remove the current element Sealing on it, but it will merge with my element again, which doesn't solve the fundamental problem."
The Warlord suddenly smiled: "Once you step into the Light Core Body, this problem will naturally be solved."
"On the positive side, the old injuries on your body are actually a sample of a Light Core Body, you can use it to verify the path of your own Light Core Body."
"When you can eliminate the material mutation at the site of the broken arm, it means you have become a Light Core Body."
Zhou Yi nodded: "Thank you for the teaching, I understand now."
"You repaired the Water Factory, so let me pay you with something else."
The Warlord raised his right hand, and a silver double-barreled shotgun materialized in his hand.
"This is the [Witch Hunter] I forged, with a strength rating of A-level. Although its absolute strength is not high, its functionality is quite good, it's the type that grows stronger with the strength of its owner."
The Warlord flipped the shotgun with one hand, ejecting a cartridge with a click.
"It has an effective range of 100 meters, not far, but it comes with auto-targeting, so no need to worry about missing."
"The equipped [Sealing Bullet] is a unique cartridge, allowing the [Witch Hunter]'s [Forbidden Altar] to be enacted over long distances, and can even affect Light Core Bodies, although the duration is quite short."
"This gun has run away from home several times before. Although I forged it, it has been rebellious, and seems not to like me very much."
"Here, it's yours."
The Warlord tossed the shotgun over.
Zhou Yi caught it steadily.
The [Witch Hunter] was not light in weight, and felt cool to the touch. It actually moved on its own, floating beside Zhou Yi and aiming at the surroundings.
"Women grow up and leave their home... She likes you and has already taken on the responsibility of your weapon."
The Warlord shook his head with a smile: "Seems like you'll get along easily, take good care of it."
"I will."
Zhou Yi said: "About the ammunition?"
"I'll give you a hundred rounds of ammunition, but if you want more, you'll have to buy it, you understand, right?" The Warlord said.
"Understood, of course."
Zhou Yi thought for a moment: "How much for the [Sealing Bullet]?"
"I'll give you a discount, 1 Light Seed per round."
Zhou Yi was relieved.
The price was reasonable.
"Then I'll take 4000 rounds."
"That's easily done. Bai Bi, later you fetch the ammunition box for Zhou Yi."
"Yes, my lord."
Zhou Yi then asked: "Err, Warlord... Will the [Witch Hunter] run away again?"
"It's possible, if one day she doesn't like you she might just run off."
The Warlord yawned with his hand over his mouth: "Why, worried?"
Zhou Yi said: "I'm thinking, are there things it likes? If so, we could maintain a good relationship, and make it feel more favorable towards me."
"Let me think."
The Warlord stroked his chin: "She likes to shoot, that's a regular activity for weapons, other than that, I really don't know. She doesn't talk to me much, so you'll have to figure this out on your own."
"Alright."
"Huh? Another death at Golden Elephant, these deaths have been rather frequent lately... I must go to reclaim the Golden Elephant Flag."
He disappeared from the spot.
Zhou Yi grabbed the [Witch Hunter].
Energy input, Consciousness synchronization activated.
"[Witch Hunter], can you hear my voice?"
"I can hear you."
A voice of a woman in her twenties echoed in his mind.
"Finally got rid of that old thing."
"..."
Zhou Yi found it strange: "You hate the Warlord that much?"
"If there was a person who always thought he was right and you were wrong, and then kept correcting you, this isn't right, that isn't right, would you like such an old thing?"
"That does sound..."
According to the [Witch Hunter], the Warlord was extremely demanding in the field of weapons.
He ruled that the [Witch Hunter] could only use Sealing Bullets, and after each shot, there had to be a 1-second interval before firing the next, and each shot had to hit the same spot as the previous one.
Any mistake would disqualify the [Witch Hunter] from combat, placing it in cold storage in the armory, euphemistically as a reserve, but in reality it was an exile.
In the realm of weapons, he was a truly cold and strict father.
"Do you operate the same way?" [Witch Hunter] asked.
Zhou Yi asserted: "No, I don't have so many rules. Just be at ease, just remember to shoot when you need to."
"Don't worry, you can trust my professional expertise."
After speaking, the silver shotgun suddenly stretched and expanded, transforming into a slim female figure.
She was about 1.7 meters tall, with silver short hair, wearing tight black clothes, staring at Zhou Yi with a defiant gaze: "As long as you provide enough bullets, I will fire at your enemies without restriction."
Zhou Yi was astonished: "You're... a Weapon Princess?"
"What's so surprising about that."
The [Witch Hunter] said matter-of-factly: "I'm not the first Weapon Princess to serve in the field. Anyway, you are now my master, I will fulfill all the duties of a weapon, attack all targets you designate, protect your safety."
She gazed intently at Zhou Yi: "However, you must promise me to be your primary battle weapon, never to leave me in cold storage or unused, that's my bottom line."
She was demanding the prime spot.
Zhou Yi immediately nodded: "No problem."
The Warlord had said that daughters grow up and leave home.
He thought it was a metaphor, but it turned out to be quite literal.
