Chapter 268 – A Sword that could Explode
The comment put a full stop to the speculations. What they saw was real. She had indeed covered 150 feet in two seconds!
That speed could break the record of any competition!
In that case, there was nothing to argue about. Although they were astonished and found it hard to believe, they had to accept reality. However, wasn’t this supposed to be a sword testing?
Where was the effect?
How was the sword tested?
Two seconds had passed, but neither the sword nor the scarecrow had moved.
“I found the shadow of the sword from one of the frames. I’ve uploaded the photo!”
Over a hundred thousand people clicked on that photo in the next minute. They all saw what looked like a sword’s shadow in that photo.
But it was only a shadow.
“Did she use the sword or not? I thought she was going to strike each item in turn!”
“Me, too! I didn’t expect to see something so astonishing.”
“Astonishing? You didn’t see anything! Why are you astonished?”
“Did she really strike the scarecrow? It’s still intact…”
Thump…
As if responding to the question, the scarecrow exploded at that moment. It wasn’t cut into two halves. It exploded from the center!
Ella had returned to her original spot, showing no intentions of striking again.
“Is that real?”
“Even if she did use the sword, why did the scarecrow explode?”
“Have they hidden a time bomb in the scarecrow and detonated it just now?”
“Why else would the scarecrow explode?”
No one tried to retort this suggestion. They all thought along the same line. If the scarecrow had been sliced open by the blade, everybody would be awestruck and wouldn’t have any doubts. However, an explosion just wasn’t something a sword could do.
Thump…
Thump! Thump!
The viewers heard some sounds. Next to the scarecrow, the wooden post and the iron stick also blew up.
What on earth had happened?
Was that the effect of a single sword slash?
That couldn’t be the case!
It suggested the sword had destroyed all three targets by making them explode from the center. Such an effect was too incredible to be real. Was there really a time bomb?

That shouldn’t be it either.
If that were true, why would Mr. Himmel Soan start this livestream? He would only humiliate himself!
Mr. Himmel Soan would never do such a thing, not to mention the time bombs were nowhere to be seen.
“Not bad,” Himmel Soan said casually.
He didn’t explain what he was referring to. He could be talking about the Soanian Sword, or he could be complimenting Ella. He could also be referring to both.
Roams also grew excited when he saw the result. These people could release all the energy in the swords!
The other five finally opened their eyes and took out their swords.
Some of them stood where they were. They simply drew the sword and put it back, and the three objects were cut into halves.
Some walked up to the three objects and effortlessly cut them in half while others repeated Ella, and the objects exploded from the middle.
After testing the swords, they stood behind Himmel Soan and waited for his instructions.
Once everybody had finished, Himmel Soan spoke again, “The test went well. Just like what you’ve seen, the swords have done a great job. The purpose of this experiment is to keep Moon safe.
“We’ll make a hundred Soanian Swords, which will be given to the members of the three divisions. Those hundred members will then join the Moonian army as the Soanian Troop. They’ll be following the president’s order!
“I know everybody is concerned with what’s going on, so I’m going to pick a few questions and answer them.
“First question: What’s the Soanian Sword made of? Why are they made? Why are they given to the Soans only?”
Himmel Soan paused at that point. Of course, he had answers to all the questions. However, he thought giving it a pause would make it easier for everybody to follow.
Thinking that he had waited long enough, he resumed in an unhurried tone, “The Soanian Sword is made of Martian rocks we collected when we rescued those people from Mars.
“We’ve forged the Soanian Swords to strengthen Moon. Although this is the age of firearms, those weapons aren’t the answer for everything. Sometimes, cold steel is still useful, which is why we’ve built the Soanian Swords.
“As for why they’re for the Soans only…
“They’re complicated weapons that only the Soans can master. It’ll recognize the first person who smears their blood on the blade as its master. If other people try to use it by force, the sword will explode!”
Himmel Soan didn’t go into details. It was impossible to explain. He couldn’t tell the people that the Soans were cultivators for which the swords were built. Therefore, he made up a rough description.
He then moved on to answering the other questions.
Most people only cared about the first question. Many people lost interest when they heard the swords were for the Soans only.
They had imagined owning an awesome sword on their own. Once that was out of the picture, many related questions disappeared. For instance, the price of the sword.
Ordinary people couldn’t use the sword, and it had a risk of exploding. Even if they could buy the sword, it would be like a ticking time bomb. No one would want to keep such a thing at home.
However, they were still intrigued. Those five people demonstrated how powerful the sword was. It could cut iron like cutting through butter.
Everybody would want one of their own. Even if they couldn’t use it, they could still enjoy its presence.
Unfortunately, the sword could explode.
