Chapter 627: Flying Sword Attributes, Simulation Testing

"The power is quite considerable!" Xia Duo couldn't help but praise.

Although the Flying Sword was merely an external object, its flight state was at every moment under Xia Duo's control, and naturally, within his Perception as well; however, this Perception was mainly focused on speed and direction, and could not yet reach the level of observing the surroundings through the Flying Sword.

Just now, when this Flying Sword pierced through the Giant Lizard's skull, its speed had barely diminished at all. Even after shattering the skulls of two Giant Lizards, its flight capability had not been significantly affected.

In Xia Duo's design plan, if the Magic Flying Sword did not attack and merely hovered in flight, it could last for a very long time, at least an entire day would be no problem; but if one wanted to conduct an attack, that is, a physical collision, its flight time would be greatly reduced.

The main reason was that the energy the Energy Core could buffer and temporarily store was limited; if it were running at low power, it could completely and continuously obtain energy from the Magic Net.

But if it were to run at high power, the energy obtained from the Magic Net alone would not be enough; if one wanted to force an attack after the buffered and temporarily stored energy was exhausted, then one could only use the Energy Core's own energy, and that was one-time use.

As for exactly how long the limit attack could last, and how long it would take for the Energy Core to continue "recharging" afterward, Xia Duo had not yet actually tested it; he had been prepared to test it just now, but was attracted over by the Giant Lizard's hissing sound.

And these two Giant Lizards had not been able to let Xia Duo test the limit of the Magic Flying Sword!

This place could be considered the lair of a Giant Lizard family; of course, this was in the open, with trees and rocks, so Xia Duo did not return to the previous place—in any case, testing was testing wherever he did it.

The first thing he tested was the ability to destroy hard objects; after all, the imaginary enemy was a dragon, and if the Flying Sword couldn't even pierce through stone, then dealing with a dragon would likely be tough.

Xia Duo pretended to pinch a Sword Chant, reached out and pointed at the trunk of a large tree not far away, and the Flying Sword responded immediately, silently and invisibly crossing a stretch of space in an instant. After hearing only a dull and short "hiss" sound, a hole the thickness of an arm appeared on the tree trunk.

And on the other side of the large tree, wood shavings flew like snow, as if constrained by something, continuously being squeezed within a long, narrow space, but soon scattered apart.

Emitting a "whoosh" sound.

By this time, the Flying Sword that had pierced through the wood had already flown a distance, then circled around a small arc and flew back to Xia Duo's side.

After simply checking the state of the Flying Sword, Xia Duo couldn't help but be a little surprised; it turned out that piercing through a large tree was more strenuous than piercing through a Giant Lizard's skull! But looking again at that large tree, which was nearly two people's embrace in girth, he understood—

Even if it was wood, if the thickness reached a certain degree, it would also possess immense defensive capability.

Even if it was Adamantine, if it were less than the thickness of a piece of paper, it wouldn't be worth mentioning as having any defensive capability.

Xia Duo had placed too many expectations on the Magic Flying Sword, and when he saw that merely piercing through wood would consume so much energy, he found it somewhat difficult to accept.

However, just as he was checking the state of the Flying Sword and selecting a new target for the destruction test, the Flying Sword had already recharged, replenishing the energy consumed earlier.

Although he had only wanted an extra spare Flying Sword at the time, it now seemed that preparing two Flying Swords was truly a display of foresight!

Attacking with two swords in an alternating fashion could not only confuse the enemy but also gain more opportunities to pause and recharge, enhancing the sustainability of the offense!

The second target for the destruction test was the rock Xia Duo had been thinking about. He had expected that piercing through the rock would consume more energy, but the test result once again exceeded his expectations—

Compared to wood, which had resilience, although the rock's hardness was better, its resilience was worse and it was not prone to deformation; and the rock's own hardness was clearly inferior to the Flying Sword, so the Flying Sword didn't even need to fly at top speed to shatter the rock upon impact.

The energy consumed was even less than when attacking the Giant Lizard; there was only the concentrated burst of consumption at the moment of contact, and there was almost no consumption afterward.

This was likely the difference between a rigid body and an object with resilience that could deform.

And a dragon was undoubtedly a combination of both; it had dragon scales on its body surface, and flesh, blood, and bones inside. Whether it could be pierced through, Xia Duo had little certainty at this moment.

However, inflicting a heavy injury and leaving a relatively large wound was beyond doubt.

Next, Xia Duo fixed an iron plate mixed with Adamantine to the surface of a large tree. According to Buloutuo, any weapon that could pierce through this iron plate could pierce through dragon scales and dragon skin.

When Xia Duo was at the blacksmith shop, he had tried with the 【Blade of Veto】 and could not pierce through it. If he had forced it, the sword body might not have survived; after all, this was just a standard training sword for a Sword Singer Apprentice, not a weapon specifically for dragon-slaying.

However, Keyaan's weapon could pierce through this iron plate; the several holes remaining on this iron plate were left behind during weapon testing. The Savile Territory was not short of weapons capable of harming dragons.

The key was that ordinary people simply couldn't get close to a dragon; otherwise, the human-sea tactic alone would be enough to overwhelm a dragon.

Xia Duo fixed the iron plate to the tree to simulate a dragon's scales, skin, and muscles.

As for the bones, Buloutuo had also mentioned that although they were not inferior to Adamantine in terms of resilience and other attributes, they were inferior in terms of hardness and could also be destroyed, not to mention that Xia Duo's Flying Sword possessed attributes higher than Adamantine.

What he was concerned about was not whether he could hit or wound a dragon, but whether he could kill the dragon within a certain amount of time; after all, if a dragon really came to attack, who could guarantee there would only be one!

The Dragon Disaster that Buloutuo's hometown had once encountered was a group of white dragons; although they were eventually all wiped out, the losses they caused were irreparable.

Therefore, early warning, efficient killing, and flexible maneuvering were extremely important.

The results of the simulated dragon test basically met Xia Duo's expectations. The only thing that made him somewhat unhappy was that one Magic Flying Sword could not sustain an attack; after attacking five or six times, it had to be left with enough time to recharge, otherwise, it would truly become a one-time-use Flying Sword.

Afterward, Xia Duo conducted many more tests. Whether it was flight speed, the Space-Piercing Array, or the Invisibility capability, everything was still within his expectations, and there were no obvious flaws.

Among them, the maximum control distance even exceeded Xia Duo's imagination; as long as it was within a 1000-meter range, the Flying Sword would not go out of control. However, because the Flying Sword lacked more detailed Perception functions, the actual attack range was still limited to Xia Duo's precise visual range.

Xia Duo planned that the next 【Magic Flying Sword 2.0 Version】 would add a Perception function; by then, he might be able to truly experience what the "Primordial Spirit Sword Control" that only existed in fantasy on Earth felt like.

A legendary cultivation skill, actually realized by him using Magic!

However, this was just a basic operation; there had long been similar products on Earth, and he had personally tried them, but the actual experience was not ideal—

That was "drone + VR goggles"!

If the drone carried weapons, if it could be controlled by brainwaves, and if the image in the VR goggles could be a bit more realistic, or simply virtual reality, then how much difference would this method have from the so-called "Primordial Spirit Sword Control"!

Technology truly changes life and changes the world.

Placed in the world of Magic, it was Spells changing life and changing the world!
