High Martial: I Use Everything as Swords

"These three resonance points are like a game of Whac-A-Mole. We push one down, and the other two just pop up more aggressively!"

Watching this scene, an unconcealable trace of smugness flashed deep in Chen Kai’s eyes.

But the expression on his face instantly switched to one of pain and regret.

He walked over to Lin Xue with his coffee and sighed softly.

"Engineer Lin, don’t blame yourself too much."

"Being able to raise the threshold to 15 Gs is already an incredible achievement."

His tone then shifted, and he spoke earnestly, as if he had her best interests at heart.

"However, the facts also prove that the ’Dynamic Resonance’ theory truly has an insurmountable bottleneck on an airframe like the Night Falcon, which is designed for extreme performance."

"Miss Su is pressing us hard, and the project can’t be delayed any further."

"So... why not consider my teacher’s ’Matrix-style Energy Shunting’ solution?"

"It may be conservative, but its advantage is its stability."

His words sounded like earnest, well-intentioned advice, but every single one was like a steel needle, stabbing cruelly into the hearts of Lin Xue and all the researchers present.

"Chen Kai!"

A young researcher finally couldn’t hold back any longer. He shot to his feet and glared at him.

"If you have nothing better to do, please leave!"

"You’re not welcome here!"

"Oh, look at me. My memory’s so bad."

Chen Kai feigned surprise and slapped his forehead.

"I just came by to see how things were going. Since everyone’s so busy, I won’t disturb you."

"Engineer Lin, think carefully about my suggestion."

He turned and left. Just as the laboratory door was about to close, the gloating smile on his face could no longer be contained.

"Bastard!"

Lin Xue couldn’t hold it in anymore. She slammed her fist on the cold control console, producing a dull THUD.

The entire team’s morale instantly hit rock bottom.

They had oversimplified the problem.

This wasn’t just a simple engineering challenge.

This was a "metaphysical" problem involving dynamic equilibrium!

Conventional test pilots could only replicate the problem like machines; they couldn’t perceive the subtle changes in energy in real-time during flight.

Much less could they adjust their controls based on these changes to find that crucial "balance point."

The only person who could probably do that was Han Feng.

The laboratory fell silent once more.

Lin Xue stared at the bright red numbers on the countdown clock on the wall. Of the one-week deadline, less than four days remained.

She closed her eyes, and images of Su Muxue’s cold expectations and Chen Kai’s nauseating, smug face flashed alternately in her mind.

A few seconds later, she snapped her eyes open.

All traces of confusion and frustration were gone from her eyes, replaced by the absolute calm of an engineer facing a final, daunting problem.

"Contact him."

Lin Xue’s voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

This time, no one on the team objected.

They all realized that this problem had exceeded the bounds of conventional engineering.

They needed that unreasonable man.

...

「Outer City, Airplane Graveyard.」

Amidst the smell of tar and rust, Han Feng piloted a rented Hunting Falcon, carving trajectories across the sky at an altitude of ten thousand meters that no mortal could comprehend.

With every extreme maneuver, the Sword Control Technique automatically circulated within him, drawing upon the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to temper his Sword Bone.

[DING! Body Tempering Cultivation +3]

[DING! Sword Storage Technique (Entry Level) Skill Proficiency +2]

[DING! Rune Construction (Entry Level) Skill Proficiency +1]

Amidst a series of system notifications, a communication request on his personal terminal interrupted his Cultivation.

It was Lin Xue.

[Consultant Han Feng, do you have a moment? The Night Falcon project has run into some trouble.]

Han Feng read the message, raising an eyebrow slightly.

He had thought that after he pointed out the core of the problem, it shouldn’t have been difficult for the elites at the design institute to solve it.

Apparently, things were more complicated than he had imagined.

’The Suspended Mountain Secret Realm...’

Han Feng thought to himself, then unhesitatingly turned the nose of the plane and flew toward East Sea Martial Arts University.

He was determined to get his hands on that ticket.

...

「Design Building Three, Annular Laboratory.」

When Han Feng stepped inside again, the air was so oppressive you could wring water from it.

Amidst the strange smell of strong caffeine mixed with nutrient solution, every researcher had heavy, dark circles under their eyes, their spirits listless.

"You’re here."

Seeing him, Lin Xue forced a bitter smile onto her haggard face and handed him a data report.

"We failed."

Han Feng took the report, his gaze lingering on it for only half a second before he set it aside.

"The data on this paper is dead."

He said calmly.

"I need to fly it."

Lin Xue was taken aback, and a researcher beside her spoke up instinctively.

"Consultant Han Feng, the ground test data is already very comprehensive. We..."

"Not enough."

Han Feng cut him off, his gaze sharp.

"I need to personally feel the ’breathing’ of the energy within the airframe."

"A disease’s focal point under extreme conditions can only be excised under extreme conditions."

His words left no room for doubt.

Lin Xue looked at his calm and confident eyes, and finally nodded firmly.

"Fine. Arrange the test flight!"

Soon, Han Feng changed into a Flight Suit and boarded the all-black Night Falcon.

The engines roared, and the fighter jet shot into the clouds like a black bolt of lightning.

At ten thousand meters, Han Feng yanked the control stick.

The Night Falcon instantly began a series of high-G maneuvers.

Eleven Gs!

The airframe began to shudder slightly.

Twelve Gs!

The shuddering intensified, and alarms blared piercingly inside the cockpit!

Han Feng ignored the alarms, his eyes narrowing as he pushed his Spiritual Vision and Sword Control Technique to their limits.

Human-Machine Unity!

His consciousness instantly merged with the fighter jet. The web of Energy Circuits inside the airframe appeared in his mind in perfect detail.

He could clearly "see" that at the T-45 Coupler node, three energy streams of different properties were like three maddened flood dragons, ferociously tearing at and colliding with each other!

It was no longer an energy vortex, but a raging minefield of energy!

Han Feng understood.

Lin Xue’s team’s solution was merely reinforcing the banks of a river that was already bursting its dams. When the flood came, it only made the torrent’s impact even more violent.

Blocking it was a dead end.

The only way was to guide it!

A thought flashed through his mind—one of the core Mystical Techniques from *Rune Array Basics*: the Three Talents Array.

Heaven, Earth, and Man—the Three Talents. They can separate and combine, cycle endlessly, generating life without cease.

Wasn’t this the perfect approach to solve the current predicament of "three dragons fighting for the throne"?

’I’ll use this to test my skills!’

Han Feng focused his mind, mobilizing a stream of pure Qi Blood Power. Using his Divine Thought as a brush, he began to "draw" a brand-new Rune in mid-air on that chaotic energy node!

The first time, the Rune Construction was only half-complete when his Qi Blood spiraled out of control and the structure instantly dissipated.

The airframe’s shuddering grew even more violent.

’Again!’

The second time, the energy output at a critical node became unstable, and the entire Rune structure collapsed on the spot.

’Damn, this costs a lot of mana.’

Han Feng grumbled to himself, pulled a Recovery Potion from his Storage Space, and chugged it without a second thought.

After five consecutive failures, which consumed a massive amount of Qi Blood and Spiritual Power, he made his sixth attempt. As the final stroke was drawn...

...a miniature Rune, simple in structure yet containing a certain profound rhythm, suddenly pulsed with a faint light and then perfectly integrated into the raging energy node!

HUMMM—

As if a ladle of cool water had been poured into boiling oil, the entire node instantly quieted down.

The three raging energy streams, like wild stallions forced down by an invisible hand, obediently began to flow and resonate in harmony, following a single, unified rhythm.

The violent shuddering of the airframe came to an abrupt halt.

The alarms stopped, too.

The entire fighter jet became unprecedentedly smooth and responsive, as if it had been completely reborn.

’It worked!’

Han Feng rejoiced internally. Maintaining the energy output, he piloted the Night Falcon through several more super-difficult extreme maneuvers without any further issues.

Then, with a thought, he cut off the energy supply to the temporary Rune.

The Rune dissipated, and the familiar, violent shuddering returned.

A slight smile touched Han Feng’s lips as he turned the jet around and landed smoothly.

When he stepped out of the cockpit, Lin Xue and a group of researchers immediately surrounded him.

"How was it?"

"Is the problem even more complicated now?"

Lin Xue’s tone was tinged with despair.

"No, the problem is simple."

Han Feng said calmly, taking off his helmet.

"Your problem is that you’re trying to suppress it, not guide it."

"Three energy streams are clashing, but you just built a wall for each of them. As a result, they’re just crashing into the walls even harder."

This direct explanation made all the researchers understand instantly.

"Then... what should we do?"

Han Feng walked over to the holographic model and pulled up the structural diagram of the T-45 Coupler.

He picked up the light pen and directly crossed out the three flow-stabilizing runes that Lin Xue’s team had added.

Then, in their place, he sketched out a new Rune—one with a simple structure yet filled with a profound, aesthetic beauty.

"We don’t need three walls."

He paused, then spoke slowly.

"We just need one master switch."

Han Feng pointed to the new Rune and explained.

"I call it the ’Harmony Talisman’."

"Its purpose isn’t to suppress, but to guide."

"It will force the three energy streams to vibrate and flow at the same frequency, performing a harmonious symphony together."

The laboratory fell deathly silent.

A white-haired senior researcher couldn’t help but speak up, his voice trembling with excitement and his tone thick with disbelief.

"Consultant Han Feng, this... ’Harmony Talisman’..."

"I’ve searched through all the Rune databases in the Gaia Alliance, and this model doesn’t exist!"

"Did you... create this yourself?"

Facing dozens of gazes filled with shock, doubt, and fervor, Han Feng nodded.

"You could say that."

At that, the laboratory erupted in an uproar.

"Creating a new Rune?"

"Are you kidding me!"

"That’s too risky!"

"This is just absurd!"
