In reality, the use of Dragon-Subduing Wood in weapon crafting has a history of over a thousand years in China. However, high-quality Dragon-Subduing Wood is extremely rare, and its growth cycle is exceptionally long, making weapons crafted from it invariably renowned divine artifacts.
Examples include the Zhangba Snake Spear used by the famous general Zhang Fei during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhao Yun's Dragon-Glazed Silver Spear, Yue Fei's Liquan Spear from the Southern Song Dynasty, General Chang Yuchun's Folding Tiger-Head Azure Gold Spear from the Ming Dynasty, the anti-Japanese hero Qi Jiguang's Divine Might Fierce Water Spear, and the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Spear wielded by Luo Cheng, a renowned general of the Sui and Tang dynasties; all of these were made using Dragon-Subduing Wood.
As for the weapons used by ordinary soldiers, most were made with white wax wood shafts, wrapped with bamboo, and then bound with cloth to enhance their strength and resilience.
Ling Tian's spear, besides its shaft being made of Dragon-Subduing Wood, also featured a tip that was no ordinary item. The approximately 40-centimeter-long spearhead was crafted from a variety of precious materials, making it exceptionally hard and sharp.
Furthermore, the material of the spearhead had a very high density, weighing over ten pounds. It could even be used as a heavy javelin for throwing.
Ling Tian had tested it in the Spirit Realm space. Without even channeling his internal energy, he could easily pierce a stone pillar over thirty centimeters in diameter with this spear. If he infused it with internal energy, it could probably even penetrate the frontal armor of a tank!
The butler informed Ling Tian that this spear was also a favorite weapon of the previous owner of the Spirit Realm space, who had named this long spear "Po Yue" (Mountain-Breaking)!
Ling Tian performed a flourish with the spear, exuding an aura of dominance, as if the Overlord of Western Chu had been reborn. Feng Xiaoxi, watching from the sidelines, was mesmerized. What woman didn't admire such a great hero?
However, Feng Xiaoxi soon regained her senses. She was well aware that a man like Ling Tian was beyond her reach. Looking at the women around Ling Tian, whether it was Aurora or Ali, they were all exceptionally outstanding. Compared to them, she was not only less beautiful but also vastly inferior in terms of strength.
Ling Tian charged forward, wielding the Po Yue spear. At this moment, Ali had already approached the two closest Faceless Ones.
The two Faceless Ones lunged directly at Ali, as a delicate young girl would appear more tender and delicious.
However, Ali did not rush to fire. She held the Remington steadily in her hand.
Its principle of operation was the same as ordinary armor-piercing rounds, utilizing the high hardness, high specific gravity, and high melting point of depleted uranium alloy to penetrate targets via kinetic energy. It was primarily used to destroy armored targets like tanks.
Moreover, after being fired, depleted uranium rounds, subjected to high-temperature combustion, would have their internal structure damaged, and their radioactivity would increase, causing casualties to the enemy or contaminating enemy targets.
However, in recent years, such weapons have been banned. During the Gulf War and the Middle Eastern wars, many American soldiers who used depleted uranium rounds later suffered from cancer or gave birth to deformed fetuses.
Feng Xiaoxi was somewhat worried about this, as she thought Ling Tian had actually used depleted uranium rounds. She had recently heard that some demon hunters had used depleted uranium rounds against demons, and while the killing effect was good, the depleted uranium rounds also caused fatal damage to them. Some ability users even lost their powers after being irradiated.
Furthermore, depleted uranium rounds seemed to have an unsatisfactory effect on demons like the Ram-Headed Monsters; even if hit, it was difficult to break through their tough skin.
"Why would I be so bored as to use that kind of thing? Don't worry, these bullets have no side effects. I have engraved explosive talismans on the bullet heads. How should I explain it? It's like a talisman, but talismans use yellow spirit paper as a carrier, while I'm using the bullet as a carrier for the formation..."
