Energy weapons are also divided into three types.
Energy weapons activated by spiritual power, energy weapons activated by vital energy, and energy weapons that can be activated by both types of power.
The three types mainly differ in the method of triggering the energy.
Generally speaking, energy weapons activated by spiritual power have simpler and more flexible forms, after all, spiritual power is flexible and can be infused at will.
As for energy weapons activated by vital energy, they are generally handheld for attacks, so the forms require higher standards.
As for energy weapons that can be triggered by both powers, they can be triggered by both types of power, and the forms meet the requirements for vital energy activation.
Of course, this also stems from different refining techniques, energy weapons that can be activated by both powers are more difficult to create and rarer.
To forge an energy weapon, besides finding energy or energy materials, and materials that can contain energy, the first requirement is to have a highly skilled artefact refiner.
The path of artefact refining is another complete system, like array dao, requiring enormous energy expenditure.
Artefact refiners are also graded, only that the status of artefact refiners is far from as high as that of spiritual controllers, not so prominent.
Moreover, just like with sabres and swords, to forge ones that can unleash sabre beams or sword beams, the refining skill does not need to be too high.
Furthermore, a weapon will also change as a martial artist continuously grows stronger.
Therefore, many martial artists do not have high requirements for weapons.
Or rather, they do not put too much energy into weapons, but into their own cultivation.
As for using only the hardness of a weapon to attack others, without even using artefact patterns, for example, a spiritual controller using a stone or iron block to smash someone.
Artefact refining aims at skill and attainment.
Therefore, the grades of artefact refiners are not as finely divided by realms as spiritual controllers.
They are only divided into four levels: artefact craftsman, artefact refining master, artefact refining grandmaster, artefact refining sovereign.
Artefact craftsmen, artefact refining masters, and artefact refining grandmasters are all quite unremarkable, but once reaching artefact refining sovereign, that is a world-shaking status.
Because, to refine energy weapons, one needs to reach the level of artefact refining sovereign or above.
However, such skilled artefact refiners are truly too few.
If compared to spiritual controllers, an artefact refining sovereign is comparable to an eighth-grade spiritual controller.
Although there are no too specific requirements for one’s own strength, to refine energy weapons, one probably needs to have vital energy cultivation at quasi-saint level or above, otherwise one’s own stamina simply cannot support it.
Furthermore, if there are no energy materials and one needs to extract heaven and earth energy to refine energy weapons, it also requires the cooperation of an eighth-grade spiritual controller who can control heaven and earth energy.
Or, the artefact refining sovereign themselves is an eighth-grade spiritual controller to be able to refine it.
The second situation is almost impossible.
To be both an artefact refining sovereign and an eighth-grade spiritual controller is even harder than dual cultivation of vital and spiritual, reaching martial saint in vital energy and eighth-grade spiritual controller in spiritual power.
After all, for dual cultivation of vital and spiritual, spiritual controllers can still rely on pills to elevate vital energy cultivation, although difficult, it is still possible, whereas artefact refiners cannot.
Moreover, the path of spiritual controllers already has great difficulty in cultivating spiritual power, who would go and learn artefact refining which consumes energy no less than cultivating spiritual power?
Furthermore, before reaching artefact refining sovereign, refining a weapon is far less valuable than refining a pill, probably no spiritual controller would be willing to put energy into the unremarkable art of artefact refining.
Therefore, energy weapons are extremely rare, probably only obtainable from ancient ruins, and their quantity is probably not much more than spiritual energies.
This is also the reason for Lin Xiao’s shock.
The Ouyang family, with only a seventh-grade initial-level spiritual controller, actually possesses such an energy weapon, which is truly shocking.
“As expected of a spiritual controller family!” Lin Xiao thought to himself, gaining even higher regard for spiritual controller families.
Spiritual controller families are indeed extraordinary, even possessing such things.
At the same time, Lin Xiao’s eyes also lit up, if he possessed this energy weapon, with his strength to activate it, who knows how powerful it would be?
Not just Lin Xiao, even Xue Ling on the main seat could not help but have a flash of greed in her eyes.
An energy weapon, even she does not have one!
In the entire Spirit Phoenix Valley, it is unknown if all the elders, or even the valley master, have one.
“I never expected that your Ouyang family still prepared such a trump card, with Ouyang Chen’s strength activating this energy weapon, the power probably already reaches the level of a first-level Martial Emperor, who among the youth generation can still block it?” Shangguan Xiong said hatefully.
“In the match between two families, energy weapons are not banned, your Shangguan family also has an energy weapon that can still be used several times, you might as well take it out for that lad to try, if it is not too late.” A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Ouyang Kuo’s mouth.
“You are ruthless!” Shangguan Xiong snorted coldly and said no more.
Their Shangguan family also has an energy weapon, it is the family’s town clan treasure.
However, that is an energy weapon activated by spiritual power, let alone Lin Xiao who cultivates vital energy, even in their entire Shangguan family, only he himself can activate it.
Taking an energy weapon to the match is simply impossible.
He also does not know how Ouyang Chen managed it, as far as he knows, the Ouyang family’s energy weapon can only be activated by Ouyang Kuo alone.
Now, with no chance of victory, he can only console himself that the Ouyang family’s energy weapon has one less activation.
Such town clan weapons, whether one more or one less activation, are extremely important, it is just unknown how many more times the opponent’s energy weapon can still be used.
If he knew, and as long as the opponent has fewer than himself, as long as he is willing to consume his own energy weapon to exhaust the opponent’s activations, leaving one, he could eliminate the opponent.
“What, energy weapon, Ouyang Chen can actually activate an energy weapon?”
“Even using an energy weapon, how can it still be fought?”
“This, this, this, the Ouyang family is simply cheating!”
The Shangguan family members were almost about to cry, after several twists and turns, seeing Lin Xiao shatter Ouyang Chen’s strongest combat strength, they thought they were going to win, but in the end, Ouyang Chen actually brought out an energy weapon.
Once an energy weapon is brought out, the activated energy is vast, this might almost reaches the strength of a first-level Martial Emperor, this simply cannot be fought.
Their Shangguan family is going to lose, going to lose thoroughly!
Shangguan Tong’s delicate body trembled fiercely, somewhat unable to believe the facts before her eyes.
Ouyang Chen has activated an energy weapon, is their Shangguan family going to lose again?
Is she still going to have to marry into the Ouyang family, marry Ouyang Chen?
Shangguan Tong was almost on the verge of collapse!
If Lin Xiao had not defeated Ouyang Chen, it would be one thing, but Lin Xiao had given her hope, and now, only disappointment remains, the blow suffered is even greater than before.
Shangguan Rui’s expression also darkened.
While the Ouyang family members, after the initial shock, on the contrary became excited one after another, various hearty laughter voices also rose everywhere, some even laughing through tears.
“Hahaha, did your Shangguan family not say you were going to win? What now? In the end, who is going to win?”
“Did your Shangguan family not say that our Ouyang family people wanted to spit blood? Now, in the end, who is going to spit blood? Hahaha.”
“Your Shangguan family people got happy too early, hahaha.”
Various venting voices continued without end, the Shangguan family members’ expressions stiffened immensely, each one could not help but clench their fists.
So close, so close they were going to win, yet, they lost again.
