He would gladly request for those of the darkness element as an additional reward for his services if he managed to create items with materials useless to him.
He didn't think that he could simply steal them, there had to be at least a few knowledgeable cultivators paying attention to him.
The first round of experiments begun, his will was skillfully imbued in the "Breath" inside his mind, the liquid black lake over the sea became a sharp saber without errors.
Yet, he wasn't used to those new materials, coupled with the different elements, his first tests turned to be explosive failures.
BOOOOM!
An explosion resounded inside his reinforced room.
Only a few days had passed since his deal with Lisa and his cultivation was greatly benefitting from the new environment.
However, his experiments weren't going that well.
The conflicting elements was a bigger problem than he had predicted, there seemed to be a fixed failure rate due to that.
'Mh, even if I ultimately find the right composition, I would lose twenty percent of the materials in the forging process. These explosions though aren't affected by that.'
The power released by the destabilization of the internal composition of the items was equal to the full power that he injected in them, it didn't diminish due to the conflicting element.
Then, he was hit by a realization!
'Why can't I simply create exploding items? They would be just as the grenades of my previous world!'
That idea seemed so doable that Noah immediately stopped the experiments on the improved Moon needles to begin with that new item.
'The instability between the materials won't be a disadvantage anymore, I can use it as the actual weapon.'
He called for the soldier outside his room and gave him another list of materials, he was impatient beyond reason.
'The difficulty should be in forging something highly unstable but that can maintain that status until "Breath" is injected in it.'
The "Breath" had to be the trigger for the explosion but he had also to consider the delay needed for a cultivator to throw it.
His experiments resumed as soon as the new corpses arrived, Noah seemed especially captivated by the thought of applying the knowledge of his previous world in this one.
A month passed in which explosions continuously reverberated in the room, their might was so scary that Luke was forced to personally visit him to be sure of his safety.
Yet, when he entered the room, he saw Noah with disheveled hair and a ragged and burned robe.
He held a simple-looking brown sphere that had spikes all over its body.
"What?"
Noah impatiently asked, his days were so full that he barely had any time to eat.
"The monthly battle is tomorrow, I was wondering if you had succeeded in your task."
Noah was surprised by that statement, the cycle of training and forging made him lose track of the passage of time.
He straightened what remained of his robe and handed the sphere to Luke.
"This is called Instability, it's the prototype of the weapon that I will create for your soldiers. Be careful though, I still have to tune the delay before the explosion."
