Chapter 7156: The Potential of Exploding Products

The enlightenment fruit did not impart as much knowledge as most other fruits.

This was to be expected as it only really focused on imparting a single method.

However, what the Sacrificial Spear Throwing Method lacked in breadth, it made up for it in depth.

It went deep into the theory, the philosophy, the mindset, the artifact design and the qi manipulation techniques needed to turn any specially prepared spear into an explosive warhead.

Ves gained an immediate boost in his understanding of the fire element, with a particular emphasis on its explosive properties. This was a welcome addition and one that would prove quite handy in combination with the other stuff he acquired.

The enlightenment fruit also taught him very narrow applications on how to design and build the right spears.

While it did not teach him any runes, it taught him how to identify certain properties of exotics and hyper materials that were naturally conducive to producing explosions. By combining them and mixing it with more stable materials as buffers, Ves could end up producing a powerful spear that remained inert unless he pumped it full with fire energy.

Of course, it was not that simple to ’arm’ the spear this way. Doing so would make it way too prone to accidental explosions. Worse, other individuals which also included enemies could pump it full of fire energy and cause it to explode ahead of time!

In order to ensure the spear remained safe to use while also making it possible to prime it on command, Ves had to combine materials into a refined structural arrangement by using special weaponsmithing techniques, only some of which Vulcan already mastered.

These additional processes not only resulted in a more natural and optimal fusion between different exotics and hypers, but also increased the energy capacity of the speartip and in some cases the shaft as well. They could temporarily exceed their normal capacities and become filled with so much excess fire energy that the resulting explosions would be cataclysmic, especially when the inclusion of highly volatile and exothermic exotic materials massively fed these reactions.

Aside from that, Ves valued the fighting techniques that came with the enlightenment fruit. It was anything but complete, but it did teach him a crucial capability: how to throw his polearm.

He could feel his true body shift and vibrate as it rapidly integrated the muscle memory of how to throw his spear with both his left and right hands.

He also learned how to significantly extend the reach of this move by employing simple spear-throwing mechanisms that he could embed into the spear itself.

Of course, this was a primitive solution for a time when ancient cultivators lacked the amenities of modern human technology.

Ves could easily design a more powerful and consistent spear launching mechanism that he could embed within his raiment.

As long as he did not have to throw his spears on a repeated basis, he could easily amplify the power of these launching mechanisms and make sure they propelled his spear as far and as hard as possible.

It would be even better if he amplified this move with the help of compatible phasewater organs!

One idea that came to mind was to use his recently acquired lesser Acris organ to build up a powerful electrical charge in a makeshift mass driver contraption.

The power of electromagnetism could be used to instantly propel the spear forward, driving it out as if it was an extra long and heavy gauss profile!

He had already begun to combine his recently acquired knowledge with his established know-how.

The combination between the two produced surprising ideas and opportunities. Many puzzles that confounded Ves in the past suddenly became clear in his mind.

As Ves completed the initial ’digestion’ of the enlightenment fruit, he opened his eyes and let out a satisfied breath.

"This is a good enlightenment fruit. It is definitely worth 35 Ascension Points. The only regret is that I did not learn how to wield a spear more skillfully in combat outside of learning how to throw it. I could probably give the Divine Harpoon a run for his money on this front."

Knowing how to throw a spear was far from enough to win a duel in his opinion.

He needed to be able to resist such a powerful opponent head-on with martial skill in order to be able to whittle down his or her defenses to the point where the use of a finisher move could guarantee victory.

"Show me." Ketis demanded.

"Now?"

"Yes. I want to see your technique and determine whether your newly gained ability to throw a spear is good enough to be used in a serious duel."

It took a bit of time to get his hands on a rod that could approximate a spear. When Ves held it in his hands, he found himself a bit more comfortable with it. He could easily apply the staff fighting techniques that he learned in the past. If he pretended that one end was sharp, then he could work with that as well, though only with the most basic of moves.

Now, a new tool had been added to his kit. He soon shifted his stance and adjusted his grip on the rod. He looked further ahead and began to run forward in order to build up more momentum.
