Chapter 1282
Hearing Hayden’s question, Jonathan let out a hoarse, incredulousugh.
“Hayden, this is exactly what I mean when I say you’re young. You just can’t settle down and always
want to delve into everything. Have you ever yed with formations? In fact, I can already guess it on
my own. You’re a spoiled rich kid of a subsidiary family. The Zink family has been striving to help you
break through to God Realm, to be the key yer who can break free from the control of the
Osborne family.”
He continued, “That means your family must have made you cultivate spiritual energy with a force-
feeding method. I can tell, based on your hand-to-handbat alone, that even your basic
swordsmanship leaves a lot to be desired, never mind formations. Formations require long-term
practice to perfect them. Without at least eight to ten years of experience, you can forget about utilizing
formations. So, enough bullsh*ting, please.”
Jonathan chuckled as he exined to Hayden, hoping to dissuade thetter from this peculiar idea.
However, at this moment, Hayden genuinely fell into deep thoughts.
“You’re absolutely right, Mr. Goldstein. The path of formation not only requires talent but also years of
umted trial and error. Without these, it’s simply impossible to attain that so-called feeling. But
hear me out. Let’s take the simplest Three Formations as an example. I don’t know the formation, nor
do I understand the underlying principles of its evolution. But as long as I urately memorize the
distance of the formation foundation, the strength of the spiritual energy, and every arc and depth of the
formation markings, does that mean I can replicate it without knowing its operational rules?”
Upon hearing this, Jonathan waved his hand again.
“No, it’s simply impossible. Even though my knowledge of formations is limited, I do know one thing—
the setup of a formationrgely depends on the control of the formation master. For instance, setting up
Three Formations on soft soil and on the city streets requirepletely different amounts of spiritual
energy—”
This time, before Jonathan could finish his words, Hayden directly interrupted the man, “But the
metallic materials for making bullets alle from standard production lines. As long as they are
bullets of the same type, theponents of any two can be said to be almost identical in metal
composition. The minor differences can totally be disregarded!”
Right then, Hayden had already stood up, filled with excitement.
On the other hand, sitting on the lounge chair, Jonathan also stared nkly at the man before him.
“Almost identical in metalposition… The minor differences can totally be disregarded…” Jonathan
muttered under his breath, his eyes full of bewilderment. “In other words, bullets with formation
markings can totally be mass-produced!”
The duo’s conversation was already particrly ear-piercing in this small yard to begin with. Moreover,
given the small yard’s size, it’d be hard for the others not to overhear, even if they tried.
At present, everyone turned their heads to look in the two’s direction.

The mass production of spiritual destruction bullets was a concept no one had ever considered, yet
Hayden surprisingly unlocked that possibility with just a few sentences.
Everybody present was no fool. They all understood very well what it meant for spiritual destruction
bullets to be mass-produced.
If that were truly the case, the bnce between cultivators and mortals would once again be tipped.
In the past, the only way to counter God Realm cultivators of hostile forces was to train one’s own God
Realm cultivators to resist.
Now, under themand of Jonathan, Asura’s Office had developed a high-precision sniper rifle that
could pose a threat to God Realm cultivators.
If it were used against unguarded opponents, just one top-notch sniper could pose a threat to God
Realm cultivators.
Of course, such progress was still not enough to pose a threat to the Eight Great Families.
After all, a God Realm cultivator was not a moving target. If the first strike was missed, a distance of
several hundred meters could easily be covered by a God Realm cultivator with merely a few leaps.
Those who pulled the trigger only had one shot. If they missed, their fate would be dire.
Thus, even if the Eastern Army managed to develop such a sniper rifle, they wouldn’t be able to
promote it on arge scale either.
However, now, the matter of the spiritual destruction bullets that Jonathan and Hayden were discussing
could very well be a method to overthrow the existence of cultivators.
Picture this—once a war broke out between the eight respectable families, who were mainly cultivators,
and Asura’s Office, who were mainly mortals armed with firearms, the one-sided battle that originally
resulted in the mortals being ughtered would suddenly turn into one where tens of thousands of
soldiers rushed forward with submachine guns, and every bullet they fired was etched with the symbol
of a spiritual destruction array…
This would cause cultivators who were below God Realm an instant due to the bullets’ spiritual
destruction properties.
As for God Realm cultivators, they could certainly hold on for a while by using the defensive magical
items they possessed.
However, these bullets wouldn’t be fired just once or twice but in dense volleys, numbering in the
thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
At this rate, no one could possibly survive.
As for Divine Realm cultivators, who would bepletely safe, they would be left all alone in this world
after their entire family got wiped out, which pretty much rendered their lives meaningless.
Jonathan touched the ring in his hand.
In that instant, he had one thing in mind, and that was to silence everyone in the yard, including
Hayden, the one who had proposed this theory.
The eight respectable families had always reigned supreme over the Chanaea, their dominance rooted
in the absolute power of their cultivators.
Thus, they didn’t even need to rack their brains thinking about how to pursue these self-destructive
paths.
As for the others, who would dare to openly challenge the respectable families before Asura’s Office?
Even if they’d thought of a solution, they were unlikely to have the financial and manpower resources to
implement it.
Now, Asura’s Office fully met all the conditions, and the idea of this spiritual destruction bullet was
incredibly simple
Such was how things went at times. When no one brought it up, everyone supposed it was
insurmountably difficult.
But once that idea was formed, it would instantly spread among people like wildfire.
Seeing Kathleen and Sterio’s bodies already surging with spiritual energy, Joshua hurriedly shouted,
“No fighting allowed here. No matter what the idea is, it’ll only be useful after we leave the small
world. Currently, every God Realm stage is a power we must strive for. Before we attack Yannopolis, I
don’t want to see any infighting among you guys.”
Even though he said so, Joshua still held the jadeite, which was connected to Sterio’s life, in his
hand.
That was because he understood that everyone wanted to quietly develop and promote the theory that
Hayden inadvertently proposed on their own.
Hence, there could only be two scenarios for those present. One was that no one made a move, and
everyone suppressed their own temper.
The other was that once someone made a move, they would undoubtedly aim to eliminate everyone
present, including Joshua.
The entire yard fell into a dead silence. Ten full secondster, Hayden managed to force a dryugh,
looked at the few people, and tentatively spoke. “Everyone, I was merely joking. Don’t you think your
reactions are a bit too much…”
“This is no joke.” Jonathan slowly stood up and looked at Hayden. “You may have just had a stroke of
genius, but your idea has the potential topletely change the face of the world!”
