Chapter 306: The Bomb Exploded, the Entire Continent Was Shocked

A massive bomb exploded with a roar in the silent night sky, shaking everyone's soul.

Its power was so immense that it almost froze the entire world at that moment.

Whether it was the Two Great Empires or the Bala Kingdom, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked in terror toward the source of that destructive power.

The once bustling battlefield instantly became desolate and silent.

Even those high-level Spirit Masters who were once full of confidence now had expressions of panic and dismay on their faces.

As a mushroom cloud rose from the horizon, a shocking force instantly tore through the air, and a gale swept past with sand and dust, leaving only dust filling the sky.

The deep crater was like a greedy mouth, gaping wide to swallow everything, and the surrounding land was scorched black, as if it had been roasted by a raging fire.

The smell of that scorched earth was thick and pungent, like a doomsday scene, striking fear into people's hearts.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, leaving only this scene of destruction and the atmosphere of despair permeating the dust.

The energy it released destroyed everything almost instantly.

That loud bang was like the end of the world, making people feel despair.

The fate of the entire continent seemed to be heading in an unknown direction at this moment.

The news that soldiers using Soul Guidance Devices had appeared within the Two Great Empires was already enough to give Tang San a headache, and now bombs had appeared too.

Tang San stood in the distance, looking in that direction with a grave expression.

He knew deeply that the appearance of this bomb had plunged the entire kingdom into an unprecedented crisis.

A Soul Guidance Device of such great power was similar to the kind Jerry had used before; by comparison, this Soul Guidance Device was much less powerful than the one Jerry used.

Tang San felt deeply shocked because he had originally thought that such a powerful Soul Guidance Device would be carefully controlled by Jerry.

He had never imagined that Jerry would actually teach this kind of powerful weapon to the students of the Spirit Hall Academy.

This made Tang San begin to rethink the strength and background of these students, no longer simply viewing them as ordinary students.

On the battlefield, these soldiers holding Soul Guidance Devices displayed extraordinary strength, making Tang San realize once again the power of this weapon.

He had long since learned that these soldiers using Soul Guidance Devices all came from the Spirit Hall Academy.

This made Tang San begin to have a new understanding of this academy; its strength and influence seemed far more powerful than he had previously imagined.

This Soul Guidance Device that triggered the massive explosion made Tang San feel shocked.

He had originally thought that although Soul Guidance Devices were astonishing in power, they were still within a controllable range.

However, the power of this Soul Guidance Device completely exceeded his expectations.

If he had the Soul Guidance Device that Jerry had used back then in his hands, then he would only need a few to raze the entire Bala Kingdom to the ground.

This kind of powerful force made Tang San afraid to act rashly; he decided to send people to scout for information first to understand the quantity of these Soul Guidance Devices.

The situation on Zhu Zhuqing's side was also not ideal.

After witnessing the immense power of that Soul Guidance Device, all the soldiers developed a sense of fear.

This kind of Explosive Soul Guidance Device completely subverted their previous understanding, so it was difficult for them to accept it for a time.

They could not help but wonder, if this kind of Explosive Soul Guidance Device were used universally, would there still be any need for them as soldiers?

A whole group of them could not withstand even one such Explosive Soul Guidance Device!

Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke knew the severity of the problem, and they began to do their utmost to soothe the soldiers' emotions.

If the anxiety and unease of these soldiers were not handled well, they would lose the courage and confidence to go to the battlefield, which would lead to the armies of the Two Great Empires losing their combat effectiveness.

In order to reignite the soldiers' confidence and courage, Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke adopted a series of measures.

They personally comforted the soldiers, gave them encouragement and solace, and at the same time strengthened training to improve their combat skills.

Under such efforts, the Two Great Empires and the Bala Kingdom seemed to reach a tacit understanding, and both sides stopped their attacks.

This week became an important period for the soldiers to regain their confidence and courage.

During this short rest period, they readjusted their state and prepared for the upcoming battle.

This one-week period gave both sides enough time to adjust strategies and stabilize military morale.

They knew that only when the soldiers regained their confidence and courage could they once again meet the challenges of war.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke constantly soothed the soldiers, encouraging them to overcome their fear and pull themselves together.

Under their soothing, the soldiers' emotions gradually stabilized, and their confidence gradually recovered.

As time passed, the soldiers gradually adapted to this new type of Soul Guidance Device and began to accept it.

They understood that the appearance of this Soul Guidance Device did not mean they had no place to be useful, but rather that they needed to better exert their own advantages to cope with a more complex combat environment.

During this week of rest, the three major forces also readjusted their strategies to prepare for the upcoming battle.

The soldier who launched the Large Explosive Soul Guidance Device had regained his senses, and Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke met him at the first opportunity.

This soldier looked very exhausted, but there was a kind of relief in his eyes.

As far as they knew, although the Spirit Guidance Master major at the Spirit Hall Academy had courses teaching Explosive Soul Guidance Devices, this kind of large Soul Guidance Device had not been spread out.

When this soldier saw Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke, he was prepared to confess everything.

The manufacturing method for this kind of Large Explosive Soul Guidance Device was one of the highest secrets in the Research Institute.

This soldier was not a student of the Spirit Hall Academy, but a formal researcher of the Research Department.

This point allowed him to come into contact with the Large Explosive Soul Guidance Device and also explained why he possessed the ability to manufacture this kind of Soul Guidance Device.

This researcher began to come into contact with Explosive Soul Guidance Devices several years ago and developed a strong interest in the explosion effects introduced in the materials.

He devoted himself entirely to research in this field, constantly exploring and experimenting.

After half a year of effort, he successfully manufactured the Large Explosive Soul Guidance Device.

This achievement made him feel very proud, but he also understood that manufacturing the Explosive Soul Guidance Device was only the first step; he still needed to conduct experiments to verify its performance and effects.

But when he applied to his superiors for testing, he never received approval for a testing ground.

The higher-ups knew he was researching a large Explosive Soul Guidance Device, so of course they were very cautious.

Learning that he had only researched it for a few years, they felt the time was a bit short and the research results should not yet be perfect, so they let him continue his research and never granted him a testing ground.

Under these circumstances, this researcher felt very frustrated.

He understood his superiors' concerns and caution, but he also hoped to have the opportunity to verify his own results.

He hoped to have the opportunity to verify the power and effects of the Large Explosive Soul Guidance Device in practice, so as to better improve and perfect it.

However, conducting experiments is not an easy matter.

Someone like him, who needs to test a Large Explosive Soul Guidance Device, cannot conduct experiments at the Wuhun City testing grounds.

Usually, approved experiments also need to be arranged on the sea, far away from the coastline, to avoid causing harm to the surrounding environment and personnel.

Therefore, every approval for such an experiment requires careful consideration, involving many departments and personnel.

So every time such an experiment is approved, it is done very cautiously, not daring to make a decision lightly.

They need to consider the safety and reliability of the experiment, while also considering the potential impact and consequences.

With the higher-ups not giving approval, this researcher could not wait any longer; he urgently wanted to know the power of the Large Explosive Soul Guidance Device he had created.

This day, hearing that the higher-ups were no longer restricting it, many students from the Spirit Hall Academy ran to the battlefield to test their Soul Guidance Devices.

Upon hearing this news, the researcher's eyes lit up.

This made him feel very excited, because the powerful Soul Guidance Device he created was meant to play its role on the battlefield, and now he finally had the opportunity to realize it.

That very day, he packed his things, stepped onto the Teleportation Array, and arrived directly at the city closest to the battlefield.

He decided to officially sign up for the army so that he could better test his Soul Guidance Device on the battlefield.

However, he did not want to wait for the review and the tedious procedures, so he decided to sneak into the armies of the Two Great Empires.

While at the academy, he had self-studied military knowledge, so it was easy for him to sneak into the army.

In order to enter the army smoothly, he spent the night making personal documents, a military uniform, and other necessities.

As a Soul Guidance Master, he possessed powerful creativity and skills, allowing him to easily cope with various difficulties and challenges.

Moreover, this researcher was very lucky; the enemy army happened to be stationed a thousand meters outside the city, and they sent small teams over every day to harass them.

This provided him with an opportunity to avoid the eyes of other soldiers and begin activating the Large Explosive Soul Guidance Device.

However, to his surprise, the power of this Large Explosive Soul Guidance Device was too great; if not for Nuhuang Zhu Zhuqing intervening in time, he would have almost sent himself and the people around him away.

This was his first time on the battlefield; he had not experienced the true test of blood and fire, and his mental fortitude was not as good as those who were truly soldiers.

In the end, he was frightened by the power of the Soul Guidance Device he had launched himself.

With so many students coming to test Soul Guidance Devices, he was just too unlucky to be caught on the spot by Nuhuang Zhuqing.

So he could only honestly confess.

Hearing this researcher's explanation, Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke were both a bit dumbfounded.

Those students coming over to test Soul Guidance Devices could at most be considered child's play, yet you, a formal researcher from the Research Institute, also came to join in the fun.

Is your level something those students can compare to?

After the news reached the Spirit Hall, the next day, Twelfth Elder Gong Ya personally came to the military camp to collect the person.

Jerry had once said that this kind of Large Explosive Soul Guidance Device should be used with caution, but now it had been exposed all at once by a subordinate researcher, and the whole continent knew about it; the Spirit Hall's secret weapon had lost its mystery, so how could it still be hidden?

So when Elder Gong Ya arrived, her face was dark; the researcher saw Elder Gong Ya's expression and was scared to tears on the spot, fearing that Elder Gong Ya would punish him.

"Zhuqing, Xue Ke, I am taking him away. Afterward, I will notify all researchers that they are forbidden from participating in the war," Elder Gong Ya said sternly.

"These researchers do not recognize their own status. Has it been easy for the Spirit Hall to cultivate them for so many years? Letting them go to the battlefield personally is risky and unnecessary. If even one person has an accident, it is a major loss for the Spirit Hall."

"After we go back, I will give them a good talking-to."

Elder Gong Ya continued: "Since the large explosive weapon has already been exposed, just use it as you please. Zhuqing, you should have Five Elements Elemental Bombs in your possession; be careful when using them, and only use them when there is no one for ten thousand miles around, so as not to accidentally injure your own army."

Upon hearing Elder Gong Ya's instructions, Zhu Zhuqing nodded earnestly and replied: "I know. Jerry had already introduced the power of these weapons to me in detail before."

Zhu Zhuqing herself was not willing to use this kind of Soul Guidance Device, because its power was truly too great, which could lead to unnecessary harm and death.

She and Xue Ke had both initially thought that the people of the Bala Kingdom were innocent, and tried to focus on taking prisoners as much as possible to minimize killing.

However, with the development of the war, the hostility between the two sides intensified day by day, and in many cases, it was no longer possible to consider the issue of prisoners.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke also faced difficult choices; they had to weigh the cruelty of war against the contradiction between necessary killing and protecting the innocent.

Therefore, they had to face the cruel reality of war and do their best to win this war, striving for victory and a future for the people of the Bala Kingdom.

Now that the war had reached this state, it would only bring more casualties; Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke no longer had the initial idea of training troops.

Now their only thought was to end the war as soon as possible, otherwise, there might be situations in the future that they could not control, and this was not something they were willing to see.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke knew their responsibilities and mission well; they had to do their utmost and take effective measures to end this war and bring peace and tranquility to everyone.

They did not want to see the war continue to escalate, leading to more pain and misfortune.

After the explosion of this Large Explosive Soul Guidance Device, there was no longer any need to hide anything.

Elder Gong Ya had also said that they could use Soul Guidance Devices as they pleased.

That night, Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke did not sleep all night; they reformulated a more thorough and detailed battle plan and optimized and improved the army's weapon configuration.

The next morning, the generals of the Two Great Empires all gathered together, waiting for the instructions and guidance of Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke.

Zhu Zhuqing took out the long-stored Soul Guidance Devices from her Soul Guidance Storage Ring.

Soul Guidance Rifle, Soul Guidance Pistol, Soul Guidance Dagger, Soul Guidance Armor, Soul Guidance Hand Grenade, Soul Guidance Mortar, Soul Guidance Anti-Aircraft Gun, Soul Guidance Siege Cannon, Soul Guidance Combat Tank...

Every single Soul Guidance Device drew exclamations and curiosity from the generals.

As the numerous Soul Guidance Devices were taken out from Zhu Zhuqing's ring, she introduced the power and usage method of each one, giving the generals a deeper understanding of these advanced weapons.

With Zhu Zhuqing's explanation and demonstration, the generals gradually understood how to use these Soul Guidance Devices; they were surprised to find that these devices not only possessed extremely high lethality but were also simple to operate, making them very suitable for the needs of modern warfare.

They realized that the emergence of these Soul Guidance Devices would completely change the landscape and form of war.

They decided to borrow Zhu Zhuqing's combat strategies and weapon configurations to upgrade and improve their own armies.

The combat style of the generals of the Two Great Empires had previously been somewhat like the cold weapon era, but after Zhu Zhuqing brought out the Soul Guidance Devices, it developed directly from the cold weapon era to the hot weapon era.
