My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 256 - 186: Scripture and Luo Mountain (3)

"...This one?" Chen Lusi waved the sheepskin paper in his hand.

"Hmm, for example, the verse 'He will cover you with His feathers, and you will take refuge under His wings; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart'... is actually similar to our 'Armor'.

And if they want to release this technique, they just need to throw out the sheepskin paper with the verse copied on it, recite the verse, and it will be activated. Once they are familiar enough with it, reciting the verse may no longer be necessary.

So under the Church system, even a newcomer Empowerer, who knows nothing about constructing techniques, can release the corresponding technique as long as they have Spirit within and sheepskin paper with the copied verses.

But there's no need to envy this method; it has its pros and cons... The advantage is obvious: quick entry, as it's akin to having an existing question bank. But the disadvantage is also clear: lack of adjustment space and the need to prepare before a battle. Without the medium, one can easily become a punching bag.

Wu You paused, then continued, "Of course, I've never been an Empowerer of the Church system, so my perspective might be somewhat one-sided. You can ask that Anna Li Zheng brought back for specific details."

"..."

Chen Lusi was indifferent, continuing to ask, "So are there any levels for these sheepskin papers?"

"Of course, it's said... they say, the power varies with the different scribes who copied the scriptures. The highest level is the 'Original Draft', also known as the 'Gospel', and the lowest level is the 'Copy'. I haven't seen the former, but I've heard that even the worst batch was personally handwritten by past Shepherd Leaders. As for the latter... it's the scriptures copied by Empowerers themselves.

In between, there's another type called 'Holy Words'... Some gifted Empowerers of the Church system, not satisfied with existing techniques or having created their own, would go to the Church to request blank 'Original Draft' sheepskin papers, attempting to write their created or altered scriptures on them."

"If successful, and it resonates, it proves their morality is pure and belief devout, worthy of standing by God's side... The Russian Orthodox Church calls these people 'Saints', while the other two sects call them 'Holy Coffin Knights'.

Chen Lusi: "..."

"The sheepskin paper in your hand now, I estimate it was copied by a Holy Coffin Knight, because at that time, the two brothers of the First Rider Position seriously infused Spirit to activate it successfully.

But it shouldn't be a self-created scripture on the Original Draft, rather a second-hand copied scripture—better than the lowest level 'Copy', but not of much higher value."

"How should I look at it then?"

Chen Lusi barely understood, raising the sheepskin paper in his hand again, and asked, "I'm not an Empowerer of the Church system, and I don't believe in any religion. What's the use for you to give it to me?"

Wu You silently looked at Zhou Jian.

Zhou Jian chuckled awkwardly, lightly said, "Just consider it a try... what if it's useful?"

Chen Lusi: "..."

He always felt.

These people treated him like Doraemon.

...

At the same time Chen Lusi and Wu You discussed 'scriptures'.

Kunlun.

The mountain top covered with unknown white flowers.

Luo Mountain stood before the towering, grand Bronze Gate, eyebrows furrowed, visible worry on his face.

Although... the rampant lightning hasn't struck in some time, and the momentum of 'Legend Activation' seems to have stopped; even most of the Celestial Strategy Mansion people withdrew.

But Luo Mountain still felt uneasy.

Because the weather atop the mountain... hasn't been good since that day, gloomy clouds have hung overhead all day, and thunder constantly wandered as if accumulating something.

Though upon careful feeling, there's nothing abnormal.

But this still leaves him deeply worried.

Because until now, he hasn't understood why 'Legend Activation' signs are occurring in the Kunlun region...

Anyway, Xia Yue brought that Chen Lusi here once, and it turned out like this.

Legend Activation... particularly Kunlun region Legend Activation.

It's most frightening when held back without release!

Moreover... during this time, Celestial Strategy Mansion's transformations, Ji Xin requiring Kunlun members to act with Celestial Strategy Mansion members, various messy things piled up together... He felt overwhelmed.

Even the northern encirclement of the 'First Rider Position' couldn't be attended to.

"... If you want to live, then live quick, I don't care who you are, at least make it straightforward."

Luo Mountain looked at the sky covered with gloomy clouds, somewhat helplessly, "It would be nice if you could tell me why you're so angry, saving me from worrying every day whether the Bronze Gate would be struck again..."

He looked above, muttering to himself.

And at this time.

A huge twist from the Bronze Gate suddenly occurred, then a figure came out, a young man, seeming in his twenties, looks clean-cut.

Holding a tablet, as soon as he came out, he immediately ran toward Luo Mountain, shouting eagerly before reaching, "Boss!!!"

Hearing the shout, Luo Mountain came to, then saw the hurried subordinate, slightly furrowed his brows, immediately dissatisfied, "How many times did I say!? We are not those reckless men of Celestial Strategy Mansion! Always maintain calm in whatever happens! Because we are the ones most needing to stay calm! If we're like Celestial Strategy Mansion, then what's our purpose of existence!?"

"..."

The young man halted at Luo Mountain's stern voice, showing an embarrassed expression, slightly slowing down his pace, and walked to Luo Mountain as if tortured. After taking a deep breath, he said, "Boss."

"Yeah, what's the matter?"

Luo Mountain nodded, asked casually, but his attention was still above.

The young man suppressed the turbulent thoughts, softly said, "Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters requested us to produce another batch of advanced weapons without 'Stone' within two days and deliver them at the fastest speed.

Additionally, they said they needed a batch of 'Che Xin'-level Stones. Also, Ji Xin Celestial Strategy asked you to bring a group familiar with 'advanced' weapons from Kunlun to the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Mountain was silent for a moment, slowly lowered his head, dissatisfied, and said, "Does Ji Xin really think we Kunlun have nothing to do?! And what do they mean by a batch of 'Che Xin'-level Stones? Do they think we are treasure boxes? Do they know how many Stones were consumed making that last batch of 'advanced' weapons for the Security Army?

Moreover! What does it mean to bring a group familiar with 'advanced' weapons over!? They haven't given up? I just don't understand! What's the use of that thing!!! Instead of wasting Stones on weapons! Better use them to save the needy! Doesn't Celestial Strategy Mansion understand this logic?

If they don't, do you not understand either? Do you still need to ask me?"

The young man: "..."

Luo Mountain directly said, "Tell Ji Xin, without a proper reason, I refuse this request."

After saying.

He once more looked up at the sky.

But after a dozen seconds, he found the young man hadn't left, lowered his head again, "What else is the matter."

"Actually... they already sent the 'reason' over, and told you if you disagree, look at it first, then comply."

The young man swallowed, then handed the tablet in his hand over.

Luo Mountain frowned again, barely suppressing dissatisfaction, reached out to take the tablet, found it was a paused video.

He tapped the screen.

The video continued playing.

Although the camera angle was a bit shaky, similar to law enforcement records, it was barely discernible.

And the main subject initially shown was Chen Lusi holding a sniper rifle.

Seeing Chen Lusi holding the sniper rifle, Luo Mountain showed a questioning expression, the next moment, saw him pull the trigger...

Chen Lusi fired, and the sniper rifle instantly dismantled into countless parts.

Then.

The footage switched.

Li Zheng's perspective.

Theoretically, Spirits not captured by camera descended from the sky, directly covering Changsun Cang, completely concealing his figure.

After nearly ten seconds.

A skeleton fell down.

The entire video was less than a minute, quickly finished.

But Luo Mountain still stared at the screen, motionless.

The young man glanced at Luo Mountain, hesitated for a moment, then softly said, "Besides the video… Ji Xin Celestial Strategy also said, this is 'advanced' weapons, no need to doubt."

Luo Mountain slowly turned his head, looking at the young man. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The young man noticed Luo Mountain's gaze, cautiously asked, "Boss? Should I respond rejecting this request?"

"..."

Luo Mountain directly threw the tablet back to him, then ran off at an unimaginable speed.

Until the figure disappeared.

Only then did his voice faintly come.

"Does this still need to ask me!? Immediately comply!!!"

The young man stood dumbfounded, watching the direction Luo Mountain disappeared, mouth agape.

That's not what you just said...
