Words of power flashed on the wall that was hit by the rifle's bullet. It didn't suffer any damage. It was the iron cone that shattered upon impact.
Despite the absence of results from the test, Shi Hei was thrilled. "Fascinating," he uttered.
The talisman atop the rifle was still flashing. The light slowly dimmed before going out altogether. However, the talisman didn't turn to dust like it usually did after unleashing an effect.
"The modification Hu Hua did allow this talisman to persist," Shi Hei explained. "The explosion required to eject the projectile isn't as big as the one required for the Yuanxu Cannon. Therefore, it is a waste and also dangerous if it unleashes all its explosive power at once. This talisman conserves the remaining explosive energy for later use. However, this talisman may not be taken off this rifle. If one does, it will release its remaining explosion."
