"You're right. If there are restrictions on weapons and equipnt, and also on miracle drugs, having a special level alchemist in the team who can craft miracle drugs would be a huge advantage!" Nathaniel said, unusually excited.
He was already beginning to imagine how surprised everyone would be when the battle against Kingston's genius officially began, and they found out that Charles could craft miracle drugs to assist them.
"I'll think this over carefully. When it cos ti to negotiate with Kingston's side, I'll try to get them to agree to allow us to bring alchemy equipnt," Nathaniel said, his tone serious as he pondered the situation.
But now, another idea popped into Charles's mind. If they couldn't use the black gold long knife when the ti ca, it would an that many of the black gold knife glow's attributes couldn't be activated either.
That would definitely affect Charles's ability to perform at his best. However, he was relieved that he had thought of a rather unconventional idea. After the eting, he planned to try it out; maybe it would lead to an unexpected surprise.
"I've got another idea, but it needs so testing. If it works, the advantage will be even greater," Charles said slowly.
As soon as he spoke, everyone in the room imdiately turned their attention to him, eager to see what unexpected idea Charles had co up with.
"What's the idea? Why don't we try it now? After all, we're all here, and the more people there are, the more ideas we can bounce around," Finn suggested first.
Zachary, Luma, and Luna nodded in agreent, mainly because these people were curious to see what out of the box idea Charles might have co up with.
Charles didn't offer any further explanation. He simply led the group, including Nathaniel, to the training grounds of the Cyber Academy.
Once they arrived at the training grounds, Charles imdiately took out a green quality supre spear from his Storage space, one of the most common types of supre spear, and honestly, not a very high quality one.
"When we face Kingston's genius, they're definitely going to impose so restrictions on the quality of weapons. Otherwise, if so genius pulls out a golden quality weapon, it would be like cheating," Nathaniel said, half joking.
Thanks to Charles's earlier idea, he was now feeling a lot more relaxed. After all, even a golden quality weapon wasn't sothing an average level nine Beast Master would have, so how could Kingston or Genosha easily get their hands on one?
Then, he started watching Charles closely as he held the green quality supre spear. Nathaniel couldn't help but wonder what Charles was planning to do with it.
The next mont, he saw energy from various attributes surging around Charles, quickly pouring into the supre spear.
"The explosion of multiple attribute energies is indeed powerful, but this supre spear is of too low quality to withstand the collision of so many energies," Nathaniel said instinctively.
The other Genosha geniuses present, though not very familiar with multiple attribute energies, also knew that a green quality supre spear absolutely couldn't endure the collision of multiple attribute energies that Charles was injecting into it!
But what Charles said next completely stunned everyone in the room.
"I don't need the weapon to withstand the energy of multiple attributes. In fact, the more fragile, the better!" Charles explained calmly.
Finn and Luna, who reacted more quickly, slightly trembled in their pupils and instantly understood Charles's idea. Especially Finn, who asked in surprise:
"Charles, are you trying to use a low quality weapon as a one ti tool?"
"That's right. That's what I thought of just now. Now let's see how powerful the explosion will be," Charles said, taking a deep breath before continuing to pour more multi attribute energy into the supre spear.
Fire energy, ice energy, dark energy... Just as Charles was about to inject wind energy, the supre spear in his hand began to tremble uncontrollably, as if it was about to explode any second.
Before the supre spear exploded due to its inability to withstand the three types of energy, Charles exerted a slight force with his arm and threw the green quality supre spear forward.
"Boom!" A violent explosion rang out, shaking the entire training room.
When the dust from the explosion settled, a crater roughly three ters in diater appeared on the floor of the training room.
Seeing the scene before him, Zachary swallowed hard and instinctively said, "My God, if that were , I definitely wouldn't be able to take such a powerful attack. If I didn't dodge in ti, I'd definitely be seriously injured by the flying weapon fragnts!"
Charles looked at the destruction he had caused and nodded slightly. Yes, this was exactly his idea.
Compared to the sharpness and speed of the black gold knife glow, injecting multiple attribute energies into a low quality weapon created an explosion with a larger destructive radius, and the flying fragnts also had imnse lethality.
Even with a green quality weapon, which can't endure more than three types of attribute energy, if it were a blue quality weapon, it might be able to withstand the infusion of four types of energy.
Looking at the large crater in the training room, Charles fell into thought. He had gotten used to fighting at close range with the black gold long knife, but after hearing that there would be restrictions on weapons and equipnt in the genius battle with Kingston, he had an impulse to try sothing new.
He hadn't expected the results to be quite impressive. But what if he tried another approach?
Perhaps throwing knives? Hidden weapons?
Or maybe using a longbow and specifically modifying the arrows used? Not seeking precision, but ensuring that the explosion radius was large enough and the destructive power was strong enough!
"I almost forgot. I'm still a senior blacksmith. I could forge arrows based on this idea, find a suitable longbow, train with it, and I wouldn't lack ranged attack thods in the future," Charles completely imrsed himself in thought.
To be honest, the reason Charles had never thought about using multiple attribute energies in this way before was because he never really needed to. With the black gold long knife in hand, it was enough to solve any problem he encountered.
While Charles was deep in thought, no one in the room disturbed him, each of them careful not to interrupt his train of thought.
After about five or six minutes, Charles finally broke away from his contemplation. He then looked at Nathaniel and spoke:
"People from Kingston should have my information, right? I don't think I've ever used any long range attacks before. This will definitely be a surprise for them."
Nathaniel's eyes lit up, growing more and more excited. Charles never failed to surprise him whether it was with shock or delight. For other geniuses, it was more likely to evoke jealousy or envy.
"The current agreent with Kingston restricts the use of weapons and equipnt above purple quality. If they find out your black gold long knife is orange quality, they might deliberately try to weaken your strength," Nathaniel said, his voice tinged with concern.
"I know His Majesty has a longbow, an exquisite purple quality weapon. It's a personal treasure from his younger years and hasn't been placed in the royal treasury," Nathaniel continued.
"Charles, wait for . I'll talk to His Majesty, and I'll bring it to you tomorrow!"
Nathaniel said this excitedly, but after a brief mont of calm, a hint of worry crept into his mind.
After all, the battle between the two nations' geniuses was fast approaching. Would Charles be able to use the longbow effectively in such a short amount of ti?
A novice archer could sotis be less useful than not having one at all in a fight. If teammates were engaged in close combat with enemies, a non expert archer could easily injure them by accident.
"Charles, you've probably never used a bow before, right? Do you think you can master it in such a short ti?" Nathaniel asked with concern.
Charles thought for a mont before responding, "It's fine, I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, there's no real loss."
To be honest, learning archery should be relatively easy for him, especially with the aid of Divine Domain. Charles could clearly feel every change in his muscles and whether each movent was correct.
Moreover, his body contained wind attribute energy, which made him extrely sensitive to the direction and strength of the wind.
Besides, unless his teammates and the enemies were engaged in close combat, Charles didn't need perfect accuracy. He just needed to control the infusion of multiple attribute energies into the arrows. Upon collision with the target, the arrows would explode due to the imbalance of the energies.
In such a scenario, Charles only needed to ensure that the arrows landed near the enemies, and that would be enough.
After discussing other matters and finalizing the details, Nathaniel led Zachary, Luma, Finn, and Luna out. They still needed to undergo specialized training, but Charles didn't need to.
As Zachary left, he couldn't help but look back at Charles with envy, his eyes filled with admiration as he walked, turning his head to glance back once again.
"If I were a genius like Charles, I wouldn't have to go through this brutal training... Sigh..." Zachary muttered softly.
Nathaniel wasn't about to let him off easy. His large hand silently landed on Zachary's shoulder, and he leaned in to whisper in his ear, "Who are you calling a freak? You're doing 30% more training today than anyone else!"
Zachary imdiately wore an expression of utter defeat. He obediently closed his mouth, knowing full well that if he voiced any further complaints, the training would definitely get even more intense!
Even if his father, Mason, found out, nothing would change. In fact, Zachary was certain his father would suggest increasing the training even more, to properly toughen him up.
