Chapter 850: Chapter 850: Manpower Versus Firearms

While Zhao Guang was conducting experiments here, the higher-ups were also experimenting.

The people who underwent the next stage of Secret Technique training reached the level of “Open Vein” in just one day. Yes, they are true geniuses, so even opening veins is very easy for them.

Once they successfully opened their veins, they were sent to the Beijing Military District.

High-ranking officials, either arriving in person or watching through special means, were all focused on this.

“How do you feel, I mean after opening your veins?” A commander shouted from the front.

These individuals were extremely excited. Usually, they could only see such people on television during special occasions, but now they could not only see them but talk to them as well.

Of course, those who didn’t succeed, as usual, were completely ignored by others.

“Feeling very good, I feel I’m no longer the same person.”

“If that’s the case, let’s start the tests. First, we’ll do basic tests for strength and speed.”

While testing was conducted, the observers’ gaze changed. There was explosive strength that could be measured in tons, and speed so fast it was hard for the eyes to follow.

“With this speed, can soldiers even hit their targets?”

“It’s uncertain, the speed is too fast. Unless there’s a barrage of bullets, their speed can’t surpass bullets.”

“That’s still impressive. During the test, they mentioned feeling danger when aimed at by firearms. With this sense, sniping them becomes difficult, and their survival on the battlefield will be strong.”

“But what good is strong survival now? We don’t rely on machine guns in combat anymore. No matter how strong they are, can they be compared to planes and artillery?” someone directly rebutted.

A person disdainfully retorted, “You saw the previous video, how can they not compare.”

Indeed, in that video, Zhao Guang took down an entire army, including aircraft.

“Alright, this is not the time for bickering, let’s continue watching as they proceed to the next test.”

“Exactly, let’s speak less. We haven’t even completed the Superhuman Soldiers yet; we’ve only reached ‘Open Vein,’ and we don’t even have the method for the Divinity level.”

Though their age prevents them from refining techniques further, they still yearn for power.

Since they can’t, they’d let the young achieve it.

It’s uncertain whether there’s a lack of genius among the elderly or elderly geniuses simply have slower cultivation speeds. In any case, as far as they know, there wasn’t anyone who progressed quickly.

At this moment, someone in the area began the next test.

“Are you ready? Don’t be nervous, at most, you’ll be slightly hurt.”

“No, I’m not nervous,” said a middle-aged man standing still, though his tone resembled a grievance-ridden person. But no one mocked him because they’d be the same in his situation.

This was an experiment against bullets, who wouldn’t be scared when aimed at?

Yet, he couldn’t dodge, as his instinct kept reminding him of the danger.

But there was no choice; his defensive ability was the strongest, and his natural trait made his True Qi stronger. After opening his veins, his True Qi was even more distinctive.

Others could have True Qi coating their bodies, but not as tightly or as long as him.

With invisible True Qi coating, the commander waved his hand, and one soldier fired. Though he used a handgun, the bullet precisely hit the middle-aged man’s arm.

Careful observation would show the attack avoided any vital areas and stayed clear of danger.

Even if it truly injured him, it would only scratch the skin, hardly a concern.

But in the next moment, only a few sparks fired off, and the man’s clothes remained intact as the bullet bounced off.

“The bullet was deflected, with no harm done. How do you feel now? How much energy was consumed?”

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, surprised by his True Qi’s prowess. To be honest, he had been misled by movies about the destructive power of bullets, subconsciously believing they were truly strong.

Bullets indeed aren’t weak, but not as exaggeratedly powerful as many imagine.

“It seems, it doesn’t drain much energy, the feeling isn’t obvious.”

“Then continue, if you feel overwhelmed, voice it.”

The middle-aged man nodded, while the shooters fired again. Each bullet was effortlessly deflected, leaving him unscathed. Not just the observers, even the soldiers were shocked.

The soldiers had undergone training recently, but hadn’t reached such heights.

Watching intently, the soldiers burned with determination, each deciding to train harder. Being here indicates their capability amongst the army is outstanding.

“Stop, please stop, I can’t take it anymore.”

The commander waved his hand, halting the test. “Eighty-three bullets in total, this resistance makes close-range handgun shots nothing to worry about.” Experiments confirmed True Qi’s comprehensive coverage.

With True Qi covering them, they almost have no weak spots.

“Almost,” because their eyes remain vulnerable due to inherent fragility.

But this wasn’t worrisome; as True Qi enhances further, even this vulnerability will dissipate. More so, where True Qi coats, thickness varies, which is also a weakness.

They wouldn’t resolve this until reaching a higher level, yet lacked awareness.

Still, they tested and experimented the True Qi’s thickness.

Following that, others advanced to test against various firearms.

“Future strategies against such superhuman entities require refining single-point attack capability and targeting ability,” said technical personnel while observing.

“Yes, weaponry aiming for widespread destruction becomes less effective unless its power is further augmented.”

If power is increased, what about the costs? These considerations left them exasperated.

Who would expect that someday, weapons previously deemed excessively potent would reveal their limitations once again?
