CHAPTER 311: CHAPTER 270: THUNDER AND FLAMES! THE CRIMSON FIST!

"Little guy, what you’re saying is too complicated!"

A day later, Li Guan Mobai held his head, which was larger than Lin Ke’s body, in utter agony: "Why does mechanics exist? Who on earth invented it!"

Beside him were Lin Ke, looking helpless, and Rica, who had already fallen asleep listening.

Yes, Lin Ke was lecturing.

Li Guan Mobai, though adept at swinging a large hammer, had little concept of mechanics.

Just like in the previous life, you know how to lift something, but calculating mechanical details might not be your forte.

For instance, walking involves friction, but few people know the friction between their feet and the ground; they just walk.

And now, Li Guan Mobai, who knew how to forge, couldn’t grasp the mechanics Lin Ke was describing.

"Forget it, little guy, just make something directly,"

Li Guan Mobai was truly troubled, forming a piece of soft earth with earth elements for Lin Ke.

"No need." Lin Ke smiled wryly, "I’ll just use air pressure to form it."

Originally, Lin Ke wanted to discuss mechanics, mechanical structures, and if getting feedback like Ove would be great.

Now it seemed, in a hundred years, while Ove pondered motionlessly about lightning, Li Guan Mobai was all movement but no thought.

Contemplating mechanics was truly too demanding on a person.

Hence, Lin Ke casually moved, creating layer upon layer of thin air pressure shields in the air, forming a spherical shape.

During the charge, he was essentially unlike the cavalry of the past.

Nathan’s [Knight] charge was varied, using impact force was just one method among many.

So he wasn’t confined to using lances or swords; the weapons of nobles were equally diverse.

And just recently, after a confrontation of will in the depths with various legendary figures, he found the power he truly should master.

Fists!

He recalled the saying from his past life: Whoever has the bigger fists makes the rules!

Thus, under the crimson iron fist of the past life, all manner of demons and monsters, imperial bureaucrats and capitalism, turned into paper tigers.

And in the recently finished forging of the embryo, Lin Ke discovered a secret.

That was his body could be refined during the use of zero-degree and overheating states.

The sanctification of the flesh!

What an enticing term.

Lin Ke decided to add another training aside from meditation, which was to refine his body through "zero-degree" and "heat."

So, he conceived of his weapon accordingly!

In mid-air, those layers of pressure wrapped the air, forming a fist-sized sphere.

As this process unfolded, Li Guan Mobai intensely watched Lin Ke create the ball, and remarked during its formation: "This looks unlike an ordinary weapon, quite complex..."

Ordinary swords and spears require length, width, hardness, softness, or sharpness during creation.

Yet this spherical apparatus gave Li Guan Mobai an impression of a complicated creation process.

"What is this thing?" After memorizing the ball’s creation process, Li Guan Mobai inquired.

"I call it... the Arm Strength Ball." Lin Ke replied with a smile.

Arm Strength Ball!

In the past life, the Arm Strength Ball was merely a small fitness tool, used to exercise fingers, wrists, and arms.

During its operation, it could generate a force far exceeding its own.

If utilized well, that force, once released, could provide a strength boost.

Similar to Ove’s pulley force amplification skill.

In the past life, the Arm Strength Ball had significant power.

But now, using the material of the embryo at the void’s center, Lin Ke estimated he could unleash even greater force.

"Arm Strength Ball?" Li Guan Mobai didn’t quite understand; it seemed too troublesome compared to crafting a simple sword or knife.

Still, he didn’t refuse and began the crafting.

At this moment, the temperature of the entire small space had dropped significantly compared to before.

If previously the average temperature was one or two thousand degrees, now it was merely twenty-five or twenty-six degrees, suitable for human habitation.

Li Guan Mobai’s large hand reached forward, grasping the small embryo in his hand, while his other hand approached to grab, knead, and rub.

Rays of white light shot from his fingertips, like lasers, onto the embryo.

[Great Blacksmith] skill – Sacred Shaping!

Under Li Guan Mobai’s shaping, the fist-sized embryo gradually transformed from a sphere into an irregular round shape.

Some areas hardened, some softened, some became resilient and elastic...

And as Li Guan Mobai continued his final shaping, his eyes turned hollow yet focused, as if only the embryo in his hand remained in the world.

Lin Ke watched from the side, while Rica hadn’t yet awakened from the "fear" controlled by physics, her mind remained asleep.

Gradually, an hour, two hours, three hours passed...

Six hours passed, and Li Guan Mobai was still shaping, but began inscribing mysterious scripts.

"Sturdy," "Flexible," "Lightning," "Lava,"...

Strings of scripts familiar and unfamiliar to Lin Ke were embedded.

Ultimately, Lin Ke sensed a change in the world!

Feedback!

Waves of feedback descended, mostly onto Li Guan Mobai, with a portion flowing to Lin Ke and the Arm Strength Ball.

This was Nathan’s first Arm Strength Ball and the first mechanical application in weaponry!

Unlike other weapons.

Take a sword, for instance.

The essence of a sword lies in its blade and hilt, regardless of any variation; longer, shorter, bigger, smaller.

Thus, no matter how it changes or innovates, the essence remains, preventing feedback.

But the Arm Strength Ball, embodying mechanical application, garnered feedback for Lin Ke’s [Scholar], elevating the bottleneck.

And being Nathan’s first Arm Strength Ball, just like Sophie’s first musical score, it exhibited mystical functions.

Yet this wasn’t the main point!

Li Guan Mobai, broke through!

Massive heat erupted from Li Guan Mobai’s body, fortunately Lin Ke and Rica were shielded, preventing harm.

And at this moment, the Laws in the air shook.

The space’s Flame Law cheered, rejoicing as it honored its master’s advancement.

Li Guan Mobai ceased motion, standing in the cooling magma with closed eyes.

Meanwhile, the Arm Strength Ball suddenly gleamed brightly!

"Zzzz..."

The Arm Strength Ball began to autonomously operate, shooting thick beams of plasma, speeding from Li Guan Mobai’s hand.

Lin Ke was astonished, rapidly erecting air pressure shields, only for them to shatter upon impact.

Eventually, the Arm Strength Ball raced to Lin Ke’s side, dancing joyfully.

Lin Ke reached out tentatively...

"Whimper..."

The Arm Strength Ball uttered a strange soft chant, then jumped into his hand.

A legendary weapon, and moreover...

With a certain sentience?!
