Chapter 1786 - 1789: Truly Damn Crazy
Subsequently, Elder Yu took Lu Xiaobu to conduct experiments separately with the blood entities at the Nascent Soul and Out-of-Body stages.
Under Elder Yu’s tense gaze, Lu Xiaobu single-handedly completed the detonation of the blood entities.
The power and method were spot on, confirming they were effective.
However, safety was far from assured!
Just as Elder Yu had mentioned, their understanding of these two levels was too limited.
This lack of knowledge wasn’t only in predicting the enemy’s reactions but also in judging the explosion of the blood entities.
Through Divine Thought, Lu Xiaobu carefully observed and detonated, realizing the issue in this aspect.
Elder Yu’s method was fine, but it easily led to an excess, causing premature explosion!
This issue was discovered with the Nascent Soul blood entity, becoming even more obvious with the Out-of-Body stage blood entity!
It seems once reaching a certain point, the internal process of the blood entity accelerates this explosion.
The specific reason was yet unclear to Lu Xiaobu!
However, he did observe one thing.
That during the explosion, the energy core of the Nascent Soul and Out-of-Body stages surprisingly exploded last, driven by the physical energy.
This understanding is not hard to grasp, since controlling from the outside to make the body explode is already quite difficult — directly controlling the core would be nothing short of a fantasy!
But if Elder Yu and the others couldn’t do it, could he manage it?
This thought began to stir deeply within Lu Xiaobu.
"Elder Yu, notify Bai Qi and the six other seniors, along with those responsible for this project, to gather for a research meeting."
Lu Xiaobu patted the place on his chest that still slightly ached from the punch by the Out-of-Body stage and said.
"Alright, I’ll go right away!"
Elder Yu was visibly excited.
Lu Xiaobu holding a meeting?
This must mean he has found a clue.
No matter whether this clue ultimately succeeds, it’s a reason for celebration!
Very soon, a group gathered around Lu Xiaobu.
Except for Li Bai dressed in hip-hop attire, the other five seniors retained their original appearance.
Though their presence showed some modern styles, losing much of the old-fashioned aura of ancient people.
"Greetings Senior Bai Qi, Senior Xiang Yu, Senior Li Bai, Senior Yue Fei, Senior Xin Qiji, Senior Zheng He!" Lu Xiaobu greeted each one.
"Alright, Xiaobu, cut the fluff, we’re not outsiders. Just get to the point; we’ve heard the gist — do you have a direction?"
Xin Qiji spoke directly. He’s a pragmatic person, greatly appreciating the modern spirit of actionable efficiency, thus seemed a bit impatient.
But the others nodded, none thought Xin Qiji’s approach was inappropriate.
"Then, I’ll speak directly." Lu Xiaobu nodded: "This time, I mainly want to ask if I can control the precise explosion of the Out-of-Body stage blood entity?"
"You all have possessed me before, can you do it again now."
This is the method Lu Xiaobu came up with.
These seniors were previously great ability level cultivators; their foresight far surpasses his.
Especially Yue Fei, who could once control his body to unleash attack effects akin to magic.
This capability, even now, the body’s own owner, Lu Xiaobu, couldn’t replicate.
And Bai Qi, creator of this Blood Continent, understands blood-colored energy unlike anyone else.
Even the rest are unmatched geniuses.
So, he wanted to see if they could find some inspiration from him.
Listening to Lu Xiaobu’s words, the group exchanged glances and nodded.
This indeed was a promising direction.
Thus, the six stopped the idle talk and one by one possessed Lu Xiaobu, starting to comprehend his Out-of-Body stage body.
At this moment, Lu Xiaobu was no longer the leader but became the research subject for this group.
The researchers responsible for this project documented the insights and hypotheses from the six seniors, then compared and analyzed the experimental data individually.
This research continued for a full day and night!
In the end!
They actually found a viable route!
In Li Bai’s words: "Truly absurdly crazy!"
Look at that, what has happened to the elegant poet, blending East and West with a touch of profanity!
Surprisingly, the idea did not originate from energy manipulation expert Yue Fei, nor from Bai Qi, most familiar with blood-colored energy, but from the bold Xiang Yu.
This is how the idea began!
"Damn it, all this research is giving me a headache, if you ask me, you’ve got plenty of Nascent Souls, even at the Out-of-Body stage, get one into those blood entities and detonate them!" Xiang Yu muttered during his twelfth absence from Lu Xiaobu’s body.
Then!
Instantly!
Someone’s eyes lit up!
Yue Fei’s eyes lit up, Bai Qi’s eyes lit up, Lu Xiaobu’s eyes lit up too!
"Wow! Senior Xiang Yu, you’re a genius!" Lu Xiaobu shouted excitedly!
"The feasibility is high! The feasibility is high indeed!" Bai Qi nodded repeatedly.
"Even a wise man will err once, while a fool occasionally finds wisdom!" Yue Fei commented with an odd sigh!
Then!
"You brat, who are you calling a fool!" Xiang Yu grumbled: "And what are you all excited about? I was just rambling!"
"No, it’s not rambling!" Yue Fei shook his head: "We’ve been exploring how to control the explosion of blood entities through energy, but just as you said, Xiaobu has plenty of Nascent Souls, no need to fuss with these fancy techniques, just have a Nascent Soul temporarily seize the blood entity."
"While we cannot precisely control the blood entity, we can likely manage to calm and detonate them!"
"As for Xiaobu, though one explosion sacrifices a Nascent Soul, as long as he survives and lives normally, there’s nothing much to worry about after, rebuilding simply takes time!"
Yue Fei refined Xiang Yu’s so-called nonsense.
Bai Qi also nodded: "This approach is more direct and can even enhance the explosion power. A Nascent Soul at Out-of-Body stage plus a blood entity body at the same stage, the force isn’t just a simple addition!"
"Start simulations immediately!" Lu Xiaobu instructed the researchers decisively.
"But, this way, Xiaobu, you would be hurt!" Elder Yu hesitated.
Nascent Souls, no matter how many, aren’t for playing around like this!
"Hurt? With war, how can there be no injuries?"
Lu Xiaobu waved grandly.
Bai Qi and the others shrugged; they were essentially battlefield veterans, injuries were not something they considered.
Such considerations were outside their scope!
Only Li Bai smacked his lips, exclaiming the timeless wisdom: "Truly absurdly crazy!"
