Dragon Clan: They're all insane, and you still want me to slay dragons?

The 100-ton truck sped past, leaving behind a road strewn with corpses.

Then came the second roll of steel, the third roll... After three rolls, Gao Kui manipulated the airflow channel to sever the connecting parts between the second and first carriages, discarding the last carriage entirely and giving the hundred-ton king a complete weight reduction.

The weight of the vehicle has been reduced from nearly 200 tons to just over 100 tons, and the speed has been increased from less than 140 to over 160.

The 100-ton King, speeding along the elevated highway in the rain, slowly distanced itself from the Deadpool group; some Deadpools had already clearly fallen behind.

"Word of Power: Yin Flow!"

Chu Tianjiao stared in horror through the rearview mirror at Gao Kui's golden eyes, which shone like the sun, and the black and red bloody water sleeves that continued to dance wildly within the domain.

What is Yin Liu?

Chu Zihang, who had been refused a volunteer position, asked a question at the opportune moment, his timing was perfect, even more professional than that of Yu Qian, the queen of crosstalk.

"A word of power."

As the Hundred-Ton King gradually distanced himself from the Deadpools, only a very few Deadpools were able to follow him. Chu Tianjiao, relieved by the sudden drop in pressure, breathed a sigh of relief and explained to the two little guys.

"Word magic is a power unique to dragons, capable of distorting the laws of physics with language. You can think of it simply as a superpower, or the ninjutsu in Naruto, or the Kido in Bleach."

We hybrids inherited the bloodline of dragons, and naturally, we also inherited the powers of dragons. Each hybrid has a Word of Power.

"The Yin Flow is Gao Kui's Words of Power."

Chu Zihang understood; it was the same type of thing as his Jun Yan.

"Uncle, there's no 'Bleach' anymore, the Chinese title has been changed to 'Boundary' a long time ago!" Gao Kui muttered during a break from his busy schedule.

"Really? I only knew that 'One Piece' was changed to 'One Piece,' but I didn't know 'Bleach' was changed too."

Chu Tianjiao chimed in, then returned to the main point, sighing, "But this is the first time I've ever seen a Yin Current this strong in all my years of life."

Judging from the strength of his incantation and Gao Kui's eye color, his bloodline is at least A-grade. The previous prince of Northern Qi was S-grade, so it's highly likely that Gao Kui's mother was also of mixed race.

"Shouldn't Yin Current be this strong? Or does the same Word of Power vary in strength depending on the user's bloodline?"

Chu Zihang, drawing inferences from one instance, seized the opportunity to ask Chu Tianjiao for advice.

"exactly.

Yin Liu ranks 41st in the periodic table of Words of Power, which is relatively high. Admittedly, the periodic table of Words of Power is ranked according to their stability and danger, and ranking does not absolutely equal strength.

However, great power often comes with risks, and the power of words ranked lower is generally more powerful than that of words ranked lower.

The same Word of Power will exhibit different power, performance, and stability in hybrids with different bloodlines. Gao Kui is a clear example of someone who improved the performance of low-sequence Words of Power by virtue of his high bloodline.

Ordinary internal flow can only manipulate air to form a high-speed airflow channel, and mix iron filings and blades into the airflow channel to increase its lethality.

The sheer power of the airflow channel itself—capable of slicing through Deadpool's bones—is something no ordinary hybrid could possibly achieve.

Chu Tianjiao gave a general explanation, then sighed, "This is no ordinary Yin Flow... It feels more like the innate formless sword energy of Guan Qi, the God of War in 'The Legend of Wen Ruian's Heroes'."

Chu Zihang seemed to be deep in thought. He didn't know anything about "Wen Ruian's Heroes", but he understood what Chu Tianjiao meant.

Gao Kui felt an itch on his scalp, as if his brain was about to grow.

As the Hundred-Ton King and the Deadpool group moved further and further away, the crisis was temporarily averted. Gao Kui withdrew his domain, retreated back into the car, and squeezed into the passenger seat with Chu Zihang.

"So this is my Word of Power. I thought it was some strange spell or magic I got in exchange for a deal with some demon."

Constantine does indeed possess some sorcery and magic; he has made deals with many demons in Hell, swindling and deceiving them to obtain many valuable items.

During his time believing himself to be Constantine, Gao Kui used Yin Liu many times, always thinking it was magic he had tricked from some demon in hell.

Chapter 12 Letter

A support player should be prepared to play a support role.

Having temporarily become a passive participant in the game, Chu Zihang wisely took the M16A1 from Gao Kui and used the knowledge Chu Tianjiao had just explained to maintain and care for the weapon.

Touching the gun barrel, it was ice-cold, as if all those bullets had been fired in vain.

After removing the magazine and counting, all thirty bullets were there, and the grenades in the M203 grenade launcher were also returned intact.

what is going on?

The Chu father and son both thought they had gone mad. Who would fire wildly, spraying bullets and blasting grenades nonstop, without missing a single bullet?

This is beyond just a dream.

Even John Woo, who pursues romantic and violent aesthetics, wouldn't dare to let the protagonist shoot for so long without changing the magazine. Only nonsensical movies would dare to do something like that.

For example, in "Hot Shots! 2", there's a knock-off version of Sylvester Stallone who's firing a Vulcan Gatling gun wildly from a small boat, and the spent cartridges pile up into a small mountain that sinks the boat.

The Chu father and son suspected that if Gao Kui were given a Vulcan Gatling gun, he could really become that powerful.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Gao Kui was completely baffled. Just now, when things were in such a dire situation, the Chu father and son had been looking at him frequently.

"Didn't you notice that you haven't changed the magazine?"

Chu Tianjiao reminded him, "You just fired at least a thousand rounds of ammunition, plus six or seven howitzer rounds, but the M16A1's magazine can only hold 30 rounds, and I don't have that much ammunition on this vehicle."

Gao Kui was slightly taken aback; he did indeed seem to have not changed the magazine just now.

Which boy, upon receiving a weapon as powerful as the M16A1, wouldn't want to be like the protagonist in John Woo's movies, effortlessly and exhilaratingly firing away?

At least Gao Kui had wanted to do this for a long time. He especially loved John Woo's movies, which were romantic and violent, like modern-day martial arts fairy tales.

Gao Kui, engrossed in firing his gun, genuinely didn't pay attention to changing magazines or the number of bullets. Looking back now, it seems he really didn't change magazines at all.

"I will try again."

Gao Kui took the M16A1 from Chu Zihang, inserted the magazine, and began firing at the highway guardrail outside the window. The bullets flew out at an angle and hit the metal guardrail, making a rattling sound.

"Click..."

In less than a few seconds, all 30 bullets were fired, not one more and not one less, as if DMA had been turned off.

"How could this be? What happened?"

Gao Kui fiddled with the M16A1, racking his brains but still couldn't figure it out. He only felt a dull ache in his head, and the hymn "The Coming of Emmanuel" that had been playing in his ears became a little louder.

Oh no, the cheater's account got banned!

Chu Tianjiao's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a pang of regret. They shouldn't have reminded Gao Kui.

He already had a vague suspicion.

Assuming everything that is happening now is true, then Gao Kui could indeed be Immanuel, or at least be able to exercise powers similar to Immanuel's "five loaves and two fish".

However, to exercise this power, a prerequisite is required: "faith".

"Faith" is a very important concept in the three religions of Tianqi.

Isaiah 28:16: He said, “Everyone who believes in me will be saved.”

John 1:12: To all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.

Romans 10:10: For it is with the heart that people believe and are justified, and with the mouth that they confess and are saved.

Whether it's the New Testament or the Old Testament, or even the three revealed religions and all religions in the world, they all emphasize the concept of "faith".

You are a believer only if you believe.

A negative example is Lot's wife.

In Genesis chapter 19 of the Old Testament, God decided to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah because they were indulging in lust and debauchery. Before destroying the two cities, God sent two angels to Sodom to rescue Lot, Abraham's nephew, and his family.

The angel told Lot and his family that God intended to destroy the two cities and that Lot and his family should flee to Zoar for refuge, and instructed them not to look back while fleeing.

After Lot left with his wife and daughters, God sent down sulfur and fire from heaven. Lot's wife did not heed His command, but looked back and immediately turned into a pillar of salt.

This shows how important "faith" is to the followers of the three religions of Tianqi.

Whether Gao Kui's ability to have unlimited bullets is due to "belief" is debatable, but at least when Gao Kui was using cheats, he didn't "disbelieve." A mentally ill person in a frenzy wouldn't care about such things.

To what extent this "cheat" can be activated is currently unknown.

But Gao Kui can no longer have unlimited bullets, definitely because he "believed" Chu Tianjiao's words.

Chu Tianjiao said that the M16A1 magazine could only hold 30 bullets, and Gao Kui believed him, so he could only fire 30 bullets.

Chu Tianjiao felt that his guess was pretty accurate.

After deducing the prerequisites for Gao Kui's cheat, Chu Tianjiao noticed another detail: after Gao Kui used the Word of Power: Yin Flow, his breathing rhythm, physical condition, and mental state remained unchanged.

This is not normal.

As a low-ranking incantation, Yin Liu's domain is extremely stable, and it consumes relatively little physical and mental energy. However, even a small consumption is still a consumption.

Moreover, the intensity of the Yin Flow used by Gao Kui is significantly greater than that of ordinary Yin Flow, resulting in greater energy consumption.

The Yin Flow's domain lasted for a long time. Logically speaking, even if Gao Kui is a hybrid with bloodlines surpassing A-level, his spirit would still suffer significant damage.

But Gao Kui is acting as if nothing happened.

Because of what?

Are mentally ill people more mentally capable than ordinary mixed-race individuals?

Gao Kui was unaware that the power of words would consume mental energy, so the "five loaves and two fish" power took effect?

Or is Gao Kui truly Emmanuel, a triune being who is "omniscient, omnipotent, self-existent, and eternal," and therefore without any depletion?

Chu Tianjiao couldn't figure out which situation it was either. Gao Kui, a special being who could be associated with Emmanuel, was someone that Chu Tianjiao, an ordinary S-class hybrid, couldn't possibly fathom.

But from any perspective, Chu Tianjiao felt that he shouldn't have reminded Gao Kui of the basic fact that words of power would consume mental energy.

The same questions that Chu Tianjiao could understand, Chu Zihang could also understand; he was a smart guy too.

Realizing the importance of "faith" to Gao Kui, Chu Zihang, who had already secretly used Jun Yan, never mentioned that the power of words would consume mental energy.

The Chu father and son exchanged a glance, reaching a tacit understanding in silence.

During the brief silence, Chu Zihang thought of something else: why was Gao Kui admitted to the Kassel Mental Hospital?

Based on existing intelligence analysis, Kassel College is a school that trains mixed-race individuals, and it has close ties with his father, Chu Tianjiao, and the Kassel Psychological Research Center in FZ City.

Seven days after Gao Kui's first episode, people from Kassel came to this small seaside town and went to great lengths to build a mental hospital to take Gao Kui in.

Could this be a coincidence?

Do the people in Kassel know about Gao Kui's powers, or do they simply see him as a potential outstanding hybrid?
