When Lufan first crossed over to this world, he had fantasized about using knowledge from another era to invent some advanced weapons that would shock the world.
However, he soon realized that in this world, where martial prowess was exceptionally high, cold weapons had already reached an extreme level that could not be compared to anything on Earth.
As for firearms, relying solely on the bits of military knowledge he had heard about was nothing but a pipe dream.
Not to mention that he didn't understand any of the complex formulas and principles; he couldn't even remember how to make glass, which was one of the essential skills for getting rich after crossing over. After all, who actually remembers details when reading a novel?
The only thing he remembered was the composition of Black Powder, mainly because it was simple—just three ingredients: saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal.
Coincidentally, all three of these materials were common in this world. After gathering them, he spent over a year researching the proper ratios for Black Powder.
However, when he finally produced Black Powder, its power disappointed him. It wasn't explosive like dynamite; at best, it was equivalent to a larger firecracker. Even though the potency of things in this world was generally enhanced, unless it hit a vital spot, it probably wouldn't even kill an ordinary person.
So after making Black Powder, Lufan gave up on further experiments and focused on studying martial arts theory. In this world, martial arts were paramount; anything else was simply ineffective.
This time, while gathering herbs in the mountains, he wanted to utilize every bit of power he had mastered and naturally thought of Black Powder. He asked Duanmu Xue to bring him several thin and fragile tin canisters along with some sharp iron spikes.
He mixed the Black Powder with the iron spikes and filled the tin canisters, leaving a fuse sticking out before sealing them tightly to maximize their explosive power.
Additionally, he soaked each iron spike in a highly corrosive venom to increase their lethality. The venom was also within the range of items Duanmu Xue could procure.
That's why Duanmu Xue remarked that the things he needed were strange and varied, with no apparent purpose.
Originally, Lufan intended these bombs or grenades as a precaution against encountering large beasts in the mountains; they would serve as excellent tools for breaking through. The explosion's sound should have a stunning effect on the animals.
However, unexpectedly, they ended up being useful against enemies instead of scaring off beasts.
While in the cave, Lufan took two medicine boxes. These boxes were uniformly made for storing medicinal materials and looked identical from the outside. He filled one of them with seven White Jade Mushrooms—the same ones he had initially shown to the Middle-aged Man.
One of them was equipped with a specially made grenade, allowing the fuse to protrude slightly from the box for easy ignition.
Lufan requested the Middle-aged Man to step back ten zhang, actually to avoid being noticed while replacing the box.
Sure enough, due to it being night and the distance being far, under the flickering firelight, the Middle-aged Man did not realize that the medicine box thrown by Lufan was a different one, and thus fell for the trick.
What Lufan did not expect was that the Middle-aged Man did not rush to grab the medicine box immediately; instead, he came after Lufan. With no other choice, Lufan had to take the risk of directly destroying the medicine box to lure the Middle-aged Man away. Otherwise, if he delayed, the fire over there would explode, and he would definitely be exposed.
As expected, the Middle-aged Man was still anxious about the White Jade Mushroom. Not only did he throw away his knife, but at the last moment before the explosion, he managed to seize the medicine box. Everything went perfectly.
Thus, at the moment he opened the medicine box, the Middle-aged Man was unsurprisingly splattered all over his face.
No matter how powerful a Martial Cultivator is, certain parts of their body are relatively vulnerable, such as their eyes. Even if you are a strong practitioner at the Bone Refinement Realm, your eyes cannot be as hard as diamonds; this is determined by human physiology. Eyes that are comparable to diamonds would be titanium alloy dog eyes, not human eyes.
So when the Middle-aged Man was hit squarely in the face by a grenade that Lufan had meticulously prepared, he immediately felt darkness before his eyes and an intense pain surged through him, causing him to scream in agony.
At that moment, he realized he had been thoroughly outsmarted by that Junior. Feeling the immense pain in his eyes, he could not help but roar in anger. Ignoring everything else, he lunged in the direction where he remembered that Junior had fled earlier, throwing punches and kicks in an attempt to take down this insidious Junior.
Suddenly, a fierce wind swept through the forest, kicking up dust and stones. Even without a Long Sword in hand, fueled by his immense strength, the Middle-aged Man's punches and kicks were formidable. If Lufan were to take even one or two hits, it could easily result in broken bones or worse.
However, no matter how hard the Middle-aged Man tried, he felt like he hadn’t hit anyone at all. From the moment of the explosion, that Junior seemed to have vanished without a trace.
He realized his mind was already in chaos; he could not continue like this wasting energy. He needed to calm down; otherwise, he might fall into that Junior's trap again.
The Middle-aged Man stopped his attacks and stood still in place. Taking several deep breaths, he forced himself to calm down and began to contemplate his situation.
He could feel excruciating pain in his eyes; it was accompanied by a burning sensation that seemed to want to seep into his body. That Junior had even coated those hidden weapons with poison—how despicable!
Despite his anger, all the Middle-aged Man could do was use Primordial Energy to expel that trace of toxicity from his body. However, there was little he could do about his eyes; that area was too fragile to withstand any damage from Primordial Energy.
He didn't even dare remove the sharp object lodged in his eye. For now, he was temporarily injured and blind; perhaps there was still a chance for recovery. After all, a body at Bone Refinement Realm has strong regenerative capabilities. As long as his eyes weren't severely damaged, they could heal over time.
After temporarily stabilizing his injuries, he began to contemplate what to do next.
There was no doubt that the Junior was hiding in the shadows, likely plotting some vicious scheme. He was too afraid to show himself, wary of his own strength. Even if he were blinded, his Bone Refinement Realm power was not something the Junior could contend with; his ability as a Martial Cultivator to discern sounds and positions was also quite formidable.
Thinking this, the Middle-aged Man felt a spark of inspiration. Perhaps he could turn the tables by feigning weakness, luring the Junior out, and then seizing the opportunity to capture him and torture him to death, thus venting his pent-up rage.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. The Junior was probably waiting for him to weaken completely before making a move. Maybe he could trick him. Furthermore, if the Junior wanted to observe his injuries, he would not be hiding far away. The key now was to determine where he was hiding and prepare for a confrontation.
With that in mind, the Middle-aged Man began to focus and listen intently to everything around him.
Upon entering the Bone Refinement Realm, a person's body undergoes comprehensive enhancement, and their hearing becomes particularly extraordinary. If one remains quiet, they can hear all movements of creatures within several miles. Therefore, the Middle-aged Man was confident that he would be able to locate the Junior.
Hmph, ignorant Junior! The abilities of a Bone Refinement Realm expert are beyond your imagination. Even if you managed to catch me off guard once, I will make you understand what despair truly is!
Outside, Duanmu Xue and the others had been stunned as they watched what had just transpired. They never expected Lufan could achieve such a feat—blinding a Bone Refinement Realm expert through sheer force. Although the opponent was not dead yet, this blow had at least halved his strength.
Now, they were even more incredulous as they stared in disbelief at the direction of the Middle-aged Man, their expressions reflecting utter astonishment.
How could this happen?! Why hasn’t he been discovered?! What on earth is going on?!
They screamed internally!
