Chapter 352

Zhao Ling stayed in Zhu Zhuyun's dormitory for three days. It was not until the fourth day that he flew away with Gu Yuena in his arms and returned to his own mansion.

I have to say that Gu Yuena is worthy of being the Silver Dragon King and possesses the body of a dragon. Her physique is much stronger than that of other beauties.

Looking at Gu Yuena, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, Zhao Ling gently kissed her on the head, then carefully placed her on the bed and covered her with a quilt.

"I had to put in a lot of effort to win her over, so I must treat her like a treasure."

With that thought, Zhao Ling turned around and left Gu Yuena's room.

As he felt the dazzling sunlight, he estimated that it should be around two o'clock in the afternoon.

He planned to visit the other courtyard, as he hadn't been there in over five years. He wondered if Lou Gao and Tai Tan had managed to find the Guanyin Tears.

There was also the replica version of the Cloud Piercing Shuttle they had always wanted to develop. He was curious if they had made any progress.

Before Zhao Ling comprehended the laws of space, the Cloud Shuttle had been his primary means of travel. But since mastering the laws of space, he had handed the Cloud Piercing Shuttle over to Lou Gao, Tai Tan, and the others for research.

Now that so many years had passed, there should be some results, right?

When Zhao Ling arrived at the villa, he found that it had changed quite a bit. However, the one thing that remained the same was the sight of busy people.

He also noticed that next to his massive Cloud Piercing Shuttle, there were six or seven smaller ones. Fortunately, the villa's area was large enough; otherwise, the Cloud Piercing Shuttle would have taken up too much space.

Zhao Ling's arrival quickly caught the attention of Lou Gao and Tai Tan, who set down their work and walked over to him.

"Brother Zhao, you're here! We have good news. We've managed to create the Guanyin Tears you mentioned. Unfortunately, the raw materials are scarce, so we could only make a small batch."

Zhao Ling watched as Lou Gao took out a small, transparent, water drop-shaped hidden weapon and handed it to him.

He examined the Guanyin Tears closely and nodded. "This is indeed the Tears of Guanyin. Although it seems harmless, it can bypass defenses. In the hands of a Titled Douluo, it could potentially harm gods whose foundations are unstable."

"We should keep this among ourselves and not let it spread; otherwise, it could easily cause harm to our people."

"I agree," Lou Gao replied.

"But honestly, we haven't tested its power yet. On one hand, we're not sure how to activate it, and on the other, we haven't found a suitable target for testing."

"My Lord, could you activate it and test it for us?" Tai Tan asked with curiosity, unable to believe that the Guanyin Tears could hurt gods.

Zhao Ling smiled. "It's no problem for me to activate it, but it won't harm me."

He then activated the Guanyin Tears and launched it into an open space. Instantly, the Guanyin Tears shot out with a high-pitched whistle, moving at such speed that neither the building nor Tai Tan could see it with the naked eye.

In the next moment, Zhao Ling vanished from his spot and reappeared hundreds of meters away. With two fingers, he gently caught the Guanyin Tears mid-flight.

This left Lou Gao and Tai Tan speechless. Though they knew Zhao Ling was more than just an Extreme Douluo, seeing him disappear and reappear so quickly was beyond their expectations. They wondered if even gods could perform such a feat.

Zhao Ling placed the Guanyin Tears into his storage space and looked toward the replica Cloud Piercing Shuttles in the distance.

"Have you started mass production of those shuttles? How fast can the fastest one fly? And what's its range?"

"It's not mass production yet. We've only made about ten. As for speed, with enough spirit stones, the fastest one can travel about 5,000 miles a day," Tai Tan explained, pointing to one of the shuttles.

"Although it's far inferior to yours, it's still quite good."

"5,000 li, or 2,500 kilometers," Zhao Ling thought. That's impressive, though still far from the aircraft of his previous life.

However, unlike aircraft powered by fossil fuel, the Cloud Piercing Shuttle uses a formation that absorbs the elemental forces of heaven and earth.

In terms of environmental impact, using spirit stones or natural energy sources like this is far better than relying on fossil fuels.

According to the original novel's historical progression, after the third and fourth parts, Douluo Star's forested areas dwindled, and soul beasts became scarcer. Many of these changes were due to technological development, which led to environmental degradation. Douluo's future could end up like that of the Blue Planet unless something was done.

Zhao Ling hoped that the widespread adoption of the Cloud Piercing Shuttle, which uses a more eco-friendly energy source, might help avoid the same fate.

The only issue was the lack of spirit stone mines on Douluo Continent. Zhao Ling himself had limited reserves.

He began to wonder if he could create large-scale spirit stone veins in his Eighteen Realms airspace. The new divine realm was rich in primordial energy and spiritual power, and if he could generate a spirit stone vein, it might allow future generations to avoid environmental destruction.

Zhao Ling, Lou Gao, and Tai Tan boarded a replica Cloud Piercing Shuttle for further inspection. While the formation was not as refined as his own, it was still functional. However, Zhao Ling decided to try modifying the formation.

Using his deep understanding of the laws, he managed to improve the formation, increasing its energy absorption rate by about three times.

Lou Gao and Tai Tan exchanged stunned glances. They had spent a great deal of time perfecting the formation. At first, they could only replicate it exactly, but now Zhao Ling had casually enhanced it, tripling its energy absorption efficiency.

With this boost, the Cloud Piercing Shuttle might no longer need to rely on spirit stones, greatly improving its functionality.
