Chapter 37: Experiment (1)

Although it was a bit fanciful, Chen Lin was extremely excited and couldn't wait to try it out.

If the experiment succeeded, he would gain an unknown trump card that no one else knew about.

Mainly, it was Yu Yuehai and Ye Jingyun who didn't know.

If he could create it successfully, and its power reached his expected level, it might become his hope for escaping from them at the right time.

The more he thought about it, the more excited and agitated he became, causing him to pace back and forth on the ground.

After a while, he finally calmed down.

He re-examined the feasibility of the experiment, and after determining that it was possible, he began to try making it.

Although his heart was burning with excitement, Chen Lin didn't rush into action. Instead, he took out the broken Weapon Refining treasure manual and reviewed its contents again.

To ensure that he understood it thoroughly, he didn't hesitate to waste an Enlightenment Pill, using its medicinal effects to review all the contents, including his own ideas, once again.

Only after he was certain that there were no problems did he begin to refine it.

First, he cast a Golden Armor on himself, then carefully engraved the spell patterns on each Thunderbolt Bead.

Just engraving one bead made him sweat profusely.

The Thunderbolt Bead was originally designed to be detonated using spiritual power, but he was trying to use spiritual power to engrave the spell patterns on it, which was extremely dangerous.

If he made even a small mistake, the Thunderbolt Bead would explode.

Fortunately, his technique was skilled enough, and he succeeded in one try.

He then engraved the second bead, which also succeeded in one try.

This smooth progress boosted Chen Lin's confidence, and he quickly prepared the auxiliary materials to begin.

The auxiliary material was a substance that resembled liquid silver but was slightly harder, with a dark color, known as "dark silver."

Dark silver had strong spiritual power conductivity and could condense into various shapes, making it a commonly used low-level material in refining spiritual treasures.

Although dark silver wasn't expensive, it was the most costly material in making Thunderbolt Beads.

Chen Lin spread the dark silver into a flat plane.

His idea was to wrap the two Thunderbolt Beads with engraved spell patterns in the dark silver, then engrave a connecting spell pattern on top, allowing the spell patterns on the two Thunderbolt Beads to overlap and merge into a single, larger bead, making it easier to use.

Moreover, according to his calculations, the effect of the overlap wouldn't be a simple addition, but a multiplication of power.

Of course, the actual situation would only be clear after refining it.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Lin carefully placed the two Thunderbolt Beads into the auxiliary material, then began to engrave the spell patterns using his spiritual power.

There was even an old, unused broken table board, which Chen Lin picked up, wiped clean, and nodded in satisfaction.

Doing experiments here, even if an explosion were to occur, the noise outside wouldn't be too loud, and it would be similar to the commotion he usually caused.

As for whether it would collapse the cellar, it shouldn't have that much power.

Even if he got buried alive, he still had the Earth Escape Talisman to escape with.

After preparing, Chen Lin took out the half-finished product he had refined to a critical point and placed it on the wooden board, then cast a Golden Armor spell on himself.

Thinking it wasn't safe enough, he took out the Golden Armor Talisman he had bought before and activated it, forming a light shield, which made him feel slightly more at ease.

In fact, even with double-layered defense, Chen Lin wasn't very confident, and his greatest reliance was the Six Ding Profound Armor Talisman; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to take such a risk.

He took out another Night Illumination Stone and placed it on the wall above his head, and the light was just right.

Then, Chen Lin stood in front of the wooden board, calmed himself, and carefully began to inscribe the final array pattern.

"Boom!"

As soon as the array pattern was completed, a loud explosion sounded, and two balls of flame erupted.

A shockwave sent Chen Lin stumbling backward, but his face still showed a look of astonishment.

Failure was within his expectations, but the explosive power after failure was far beyond his expectations.

It was too weak.

Not to mention triggering the Six Ding Profound Armor Talisman, but even the shield created by the Golden Armor Talisman outside couldn't be broken, only making it tremble slightly.

Such power, even without any defensive measures, would only blow his clothes to shreds and might not even cause skin injuries.

"This isn't scientific!"

Chen Lin was somewhat puzzled.

He had secretly tested the power of the Thunderbolt Bead before, and one bead was already stronger than this, yet here, two beads exploding together had such little power.

Could it be that the Thunderbolt Beads had varying strengths, and these two just happened to be weak?

Chen Lin thought for a moment and felt it was impossible.

They were all made from the same materials and were products of innate abilities, so they definitely wouldn't have differences.

So, it must be due to other reasons.

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
