Where should the runes be engraved?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the bullets and missile heads?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or on the barrels?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what type of array should be engraved?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An active-activation array?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or a passive-trigger array?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, the array would certainly need modification—it couldn’t just be copied verbatim...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo had no ideas. Though he could draw arrays, he merely mimicked them mechanically, memorizing by rote.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And currently, he only knew three arrays: the Beast Pact Array, the Primary Thunderlight Array, and the Wind Shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the Beast Pact Array had no rank—it was a special array—while the Wind Shield and Primary Thunderlight Array were both Yellow-Rank Low-Class arrays, one defensive and one offensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo had once attempted to draw the Intermediate Thunderlight Array, a Yellow-Rank Mid-Class array, but failed—his Yuan Shi was insufficient, and he nearly fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for modifying arrays, to say he could do it was self-praise; in truth, he could only weaken their power, never alter their nature. Unless for creating Yuan Power batteries, such modifications had no practical value whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, when modifying the Primary Thunderlight Array, he replaced and removed several key runes, drastically reducing its power so it could no longer generate lightning, only release Thunder-element Yuan energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even that wasn’t simple: the replacement runes had to match the original’s elemental property, and the removed runes had to not disrupt the array’s structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each rune modification required redrawing the entire array to check—extremely time-consuming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo felt that if runes were to be engraved on firearms and missiles, the array’s operating mechanism would need fundamental change—it was far beyond his capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Cang Luo believed that if he couldn’t do it, Earth’s scientists might. Arrays and martial arts were, in some sense, another form of science.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once you understand one thing, you understand them all. With Earth’s technology, they might truly succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo didn’t dwell on it. He first focused on finishing the Steel War Chariot, dismissed the Wind Shield array, and turned his gaze to the video of Professor Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Cang Luo froze, staring blankly at his phone on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phone... was sitting on the table, not touching him. Why could it still connect to Earth’s network?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the satellite’s capability upgraded?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had his advancement to the Martial General realm strengthened the satellite’s ability?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo quickly realized and walked toward the phone without showing any expression, picked it up to inspect it, then placed it back on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After checking, he discovered that even without direct contact, the phone could still connect—but the signal weakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At three meters, only one bar remained; beyond 3.5 meters, the signal vanished entirely. When held in hand, it returned to full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo faintly sensed a strange connection between himself and the phone—a feeling hard to describe, as if his Yuan Shi could link with the phone’s signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Cang Luo was certain this connection wasn’t Yuan Shi—it was something else...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WiFi signal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he become a router? A relay station between satellite and phone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously wired, now wireless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo chuckled bitterly, stopped wasting time pondering, but resolved to be careful: he should turn off the phone’s signal when not in use—otherwise, if someone picked it up and a call came in, disaster would follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the video call, severed earlier due to distance, reconnected. Li Weiguo and the others didn’t ask anything—signal drops were normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, this was interplanetary, even interdimensional communication—likely spanning light-years. Understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Yang excitedly said: “Little Cang, send us all your data on arrays, along with your concepts and understanding of rune armor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, send multiple arrays—of various ranks and functions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though we can’t draw them, perhaps we can find patterns, master array design ahead of time, instead of waiting for the two worlds to connect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just looked—rune-to-rune and rune-chain-to-rune combinations and restrictions resemble computer programming. They can be coded...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Yang spoke at length. Cang Luo was deeply impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scientists truly were scientists—comparing arrays to computer programs, runes and rune-chains to code, analyzing rune properties and restrictions to study arrays...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo nodded in agreement, then added: “I can give you all the array data without reservation. But sending more arrays, especially high-rank ones—I can’t do that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You compared arrays to computer programs—I fully agree. Programs are coded, then packaged and encrypted. You must crack them to see the code. Arrays are the same.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from a few common Yellow-Rank arrays available anywhere, most arrays are sealed with restrictions—hidden runes cannot be seen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo spoke truthfully. Take the most common one-time arrays drawn on beast hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If sold in shops, these arrays are rolled up and sealed. Forcing them open destroys the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, activation doesn’t require unrolling—the seal can be triggered directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrays engraved on weapons are even more complex: key sections are encrypted, some even drawn directly inside the weapon’s core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Array masters aren’t fools—they guard their knowledge fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see...” Professor Yang nodded in understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides fell silent for a moment. Cang Luo couldn’t help asking: “Professor Yang, what about my electric motorcycle’s armor? What do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Yang smiled: “No problem. Old man and a few students will start designing tonight—you’ll be satisfied...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, Little Cang, you’re having the armor forged by martial arts smiths from the Yuanwu Continent, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Cang Luo nod, he immediately excitedly added: “Can you secretly film their forging process? Especially the rune engraving?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo froze. That’s extremely dangerous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stealing techniques could get you killed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing the armor forging might be possible—but rune engraving? Absolutely forbidden to outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo spoke honestly. Professor Yang again understood, then prepared to end the call to begin designing the armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Cang Luo suddenly remembered something. He hurriedly said before Professor Yang disconnected: “Professor Yang, could you also design two weapons for me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One is a detachable, combinable spear. The other is a fast, lethal hidden weapon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear is for Baili Wunan—her spear was broken by Zhang Zhen during the first Wolf Pack hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo saw how heartbroken she was. He said nothing then, but secretly remembered—and decided to help her rebuild one. Now was the perfect chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hidden weapon is for myself. My close combat is strong, unmatched in my rank—but I lack ranged attacks. I can’t rely on Erha forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, more skills never hurt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Yang stayed silent—he wasn’t skilled in designing cold weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Li Weiguo chuckled: “Leave that to us. Feng Lin Huo Shan has no shortage of cold weapons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo was overjoyed. “Thank you! Your Feng Lin Huo Shan finally has some use!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the video call, Li Weiguo’s face turned black again...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo laughed heartily and ended the call, then waited for the blueprints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo received over thirty A3-sized blueprints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most were for the Steel War Chariot’s armor—designed by the electric motorcycle manufacturer based on the original model, perfectly fitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The armor’s overall design was highly technological, sharply angular, stunningly cool. Some structures were even movable, adaptable to different environments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, side and tail wings could deploy, making it lighter and faster with the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Yang and his students were thorough—they even designed an external mounting system for weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attach a spear for charging and ramming. Mount a crossbow to fire arrows. Add skis to turn it into a snowmobile. Add side seats to make it a “girl-carrying miracle”...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these external weapons were also designed for Cang Luo, matching the Steel War Chariot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Yang had considered one more thing with great care—Cang Luo felt immense gratitude upon seeing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Installing the armor required removing the original shell. Professor Yang even sent instructions on how to disassemble it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, knowing Yuanwu Continent might lack precision screws and nuts, he designed all armor joints as mortise-and-tenon structures—easy to assemble and disassemble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly meticulous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Professor Yang considered tire inflation and designed a simple air pump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Cang Luo stared at the Steel War Chariot’s render, overjoyed beyond words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagining riding it back to Xuantian Sect, the Wolf Pack gang would be stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grinned foolishly, then picked up the spear and hidden weapon blueprints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear’s design was equally technological: the tip was a flat rhombus with multiple sharp edges and multiple blood grooves, greatly increasing damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shaft, per Cang Luo’s request, was designed for detachable assembly using mortise-and-tenon joints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mortise-and-tenon joints were convenient to disassemble, more stable than threaded joints—which loosen over time—and easier to forge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hidden weapon was a three-pronged dart with tail fins and blood grooves. Though simple in appearance, it concealed complexity—more intricate than the spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The secret lay in its tail fins: they were movable, allowing the user to control the dart’s flight path—straight or curved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This feature greatly increased its threat—unpredictable, leaving opponents defenseless—but required extensive practice to master trajectory changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After viewing them, Cang Luo could only describe his reaction as stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, after the shock came sudden bewilderment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could these blueprints be shown to Yuanwu Continent’s smiths?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he hand them the phone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d be murdered for it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, I guess I have to draw the blueprint on paper?\" Cang Luo let out a bitter laugh and collapsed onto the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Cang Luo hated Professor Yang to the core—why did he design something so complicated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of A3 sheets—how long would it take to draw them all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How do I even start?\u003C\u002Fp>",1631,"2026-06-21T06:04:04.528Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f583dd29af6650d0197d9e156f6850ce84f16394aff33809beffab0035614841","high-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-chapter-130","high-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-chapter-128",157,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-cover.jpg"]
