247: Chapter 247 Magic Circuit

Two days had passed in a flash since Chen Moxuan arrived at the Punishment Army base.

Captain Lei informed Chen Moxuan about the reported situation, and high-level Martial Artists across the regions had already taken action.

They prepared a large, undisturbed room for Chen Moxuan, letting him wait quietly for news.

During these days, Chen Moxuan could be said to have had his first taste of the convenience that came with the status of a Proud Sun Grade Genius.

Captain Lei promised him that as long as he needed them, cultivation resources like Spirit Liquid would be available in abundance.

However, Spirit Liquid was something to assist Martial Artists in the Tiangang Realm with their Cultivate; now that Chen Moxuan had already stepped into the heart-cultivation stage of the Spirit Ascension Realm, he had absolutely no use for it.

Instead, some confidential information that was difficult to access from the outside could be queried through the military network.

This information provided him with significant help and further broadened his knowledge.

Among them were secrets of alien races, lethal military Martial Skills, and Chen Moxuan even gained a comprehensive understanding of the military's True Qi Technology from scratch.

"Knock, knock."

A light, rapid knocking sounded outside the door.

"Please come in."

As the door pushed open, Captain Lei walked in with a brisk pace.

Following closely behind him, several people slowly entered pushing a cart, and on the cart was an exquisite crystal model.

"Brother Chen, the weapon model you designed to be built with Yuan Crystals, I've had someone make it for you."

Captain Lei said to Chen Moxuan with a smile.

Even though he was a dozen years older than Chen Moxuan, he thought of how Chen Moxuan had easily subdued a Demon Race general, and even forced information out of him, easily accomplishing things they found difficult to do.

Plus, the news about Chen Moxuan in the Spirit Gathering Secret Realm had already spread.

Being so young and having such cultivation and achievements, Captain Lei always felt he couldn't bring himself to say the word 'brother', so he couldn't help but address him as 'Brother'.

However, after spending this time together, Chen Moxuan had not relied on his status to make unreasonable demands or ask for too much.

When making requests, he was always calm and patient, maintaining a polite attitude.

It was completely different from a Proud Sun Grade he had encountered before.

This 'Brother' was something Captain Lei now called him willingly.

"If I'm not mistaken... this structure looks like a Magic Array of the Demon Race?"

Captain Lei glanced at the model again, unable to help asking the question he had been harboring for these days.

The model was constructed from Yuan Crystals forged into threads.

And Yuan Crystals were the same material used to forge the Tianyuan Battle Armor, possessing extremely high energy conductivity and energy storage capabilities.

Forging them into threads also provided a certain degree of expandability.

Although Yuan Crystals were precious, apart from the Tianyuan Battle Armor, True Qi weapons in the army all required Yuan Crystals, and their Punishment Army base had quite a large reserve.

Coupled with the fact that the amount of Yuan Crystals needed for the blueprints Chen Moxuan designed was not much, Captain Lei had directly given his approval.

The blueprints appeared very complex in Captain Lei's eyes, but as each part was forged and assembled together.

Ignoring the three-dimensional structure of the model and looking at just one side, Captain Lei found it increasingly familiar.

Isn't this just a Magic Array of the Demon Race?

"Captain Lei has a sharp eye, but saying it's a Magic Array isn't entirely correct..."

Chen Moxuan said, walking to the model and picking up a Yuan Crystal placed on the shelf.

With his Spiritual Sense, he drew out a wisp of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi stored inside the Yuan Crystal and injected it into the model.

Visible to the naked eye, a stream of pure energy flowed along the transparent Yuan Crystal threads, passing through parts of the channels, twisting and turning, faster and faster.

Finally, at the center of that side of the model, a tiny Shadow Spear burst out, nailing into the wall with a swish.

"Converting Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into magic power..."

"Brother Chen, have you been studying True Qi Technology and Demon Race magic studies these past few days?"

Captain Lei recognized at a glance the unique magic power fluctuation on that Shadow Spear.

He didn't find it strange.

The research Chen Moxuan was doing had already been done by other Martial Arts Grandmasters in the early years; it could be considered a very basic experiment.

Whether it was True Qi or magic power, they were inherently different types of energy produced by different races absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and adapting it to their own conditions.

The Human Race and the Demon Race had been in constant conflict, and the military's captured data on the Demon Race was the most comprehensive, not lacking in complete structures of Magic Arrays.

As long as one possessed Spiritual Sense, they could draw out the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in Yuan Crystals, convert it into magic power through a Magic Array, and release the corresponding magic.

True Qi Technology itself was established in the early years with the help of the Mechanical Race, referencing knowledge of Magic Arrays.

There were not many Martial Artists who could open a Heart-Phase Dao Seed and possess Spiritual Sense.

Compared to drawing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi through Spiritual Sense and injecting it into this kind of Magic Array structure to convert it into magic power, True Qi Technology, which directly utilized the Martial Artist's own True Qi, was more efficient and destructive.

After all, regarding magic power, the Human Race did not possess magic circuits, so no matter what, they could not Cultivate it themselves.

But True Qi equipment was vastly different; not only was the holder a large storage battery, but they could also strengthen themselves through the True Qi equipment.

Therefore, the path of building Magic Arrays with Yuan Crystals was abandoned as soon as it appeared, only serving to pave the way for the later birth of True Qi Technology.

However, Captain Lei noticed that Chen Moxuan seemed to have more to say.

The model he designed was also much more complex than the experimental model of that Grandmaster back then.

"Not entirely correct? Brother Chen, what does that mean? I'm impatient, so don't keep me in suspense."

Soon, Chen Moxuan answered Captain Lei with actions.

He drew out a wisp of Spiritual Qi again, this time circulating it along the other side of the model's path.

Seeing at the center of the energy convergence, a small fireball shot out.

Just as it was about to hit the wall, it was casually dispersed by Chen Moxuan.

"Magic of different properties?"

Captain Lei was startled; this exceeded his understanding.

A single Magic Array, logically speaking, should only be able to trigger magic of one property.

"This thing, in essence, can be considered a magic circuit unique to the Demon Race; through different ways of circulating magic power, it can trigger different types of magic," Chen Moxuan explained.

Combining the information searched by the Human Race, plus the full confession of Musa, that Demon Race general, Chen Moxuan had already thoroughly understood the Demon Race's magic system.

The Demon Race's primitive magic circuits were three-dimensional bodies constructed from several Magic Arrays, similar to a Martial Artist's Meridians.

They could convert Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, store it as magic power of different properties, and also trigger some simple basic magic through specific circulation methods.

Complex magic required constant Cultivate, modifying and strengthening these primitive magic circuits, and mastering more precise ways of circulating magic power.

"To be able to research to this extent in just two days, it seems Brother Chen not only has astonishing talent in martial arts, but your level of scientific research is also breathtaking."

"I don't know if Brother Chen choosing martial arts counts as a loss of a great talent for the scientific research world."

Captain Lei couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

However, he didn't have any thoughts of recommending talent to the scientific research world.

Chen Moxuan's talent in scientific research was just beginning to show, but his achievements in the martial arts world were already shocking.

Moreover, the things Chen Moxuan researched, even if they could use different types of magic, were essentially still Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi being converted into magic power, requiring the user to master Spiritual Sense to achieve it.

They still didn't have much practical combat use.

He just took it as a pastime for a bored Genius.

"Thanks to the information provided by Brother Chen, these days, many Demon Race infiltrators have been rooted out in various places. Their resistance was fierce, but fortunately, the Human Race was well-prepared, and the teams dispatched were strong, so there were no casualties."

"As for that Secret Realm entrance, I heard that a big figure is investigating it personally, and I believe there will be results before long."

"If there is any latest news, I will definitely notify you at the first opportunity. If you have any other needs, just ask, don't be polite!"

After reporting the recent situation to Chen Moxuan, Captain Lei bid farewell and left.

Chen Moxuan stroked the Yuan Crystal model left in the room, deep in thought.

"This thing should count as a weapon."

As things stood, he did not intend to follow a scientific research path.

It was just that in his spare time, among the Special Abilities he had recently analyzed, there was one called [Firearm Creation], which came from an A-level criminal, the Arms Dealer, whom he had casually killed.

The ability was to conjure weapons he had come into contact with and understood the structure of, from anywhere on his body.

Limited by the size of his body, he couldn't turn into some overly massive weapons.

However, constructing a magic circuit inside his body should be doable.
