My future updates weekly.

Chapter 121 It turns out I really did have writing on my face.

"white crane?"

The master craftsman looked surprised.

Baihe is another "self" who shares a similar timeline with him, but was not abducted by the wolves and instead embarked on a different path...

It's going to be summoned too?

Upon hearing this news, the craftsman's feelings became complicated.

He asked, "When is he coming?"

"The earliest is tomorrow, the latest is the day after tomorrow," Jiang He estimated after sensing the brightness of the card.

In fact, judging from the charging progress of the first Phoenix Egg True Spirit, the energy of the second resource is enough to fully charge the white crane, with a considerable surplus.

However, among the Heroic Spirit cards that are currently in a cooling-off period, there is now an additional one: Old Jiang.

He also shared some of the power, which increased the brightness of the card, which is why the white crane did not immediately complete its cooldown.

Following this pattern, it's likely that as the number of Heroic Spirits increases, the effects of resources will become more and more dispersed, possibly requiring dozens of S-rank resources to complete a single charge!
Of course, that also means a large number of heroic spirits have completed their cooldown and are about to arrive on the battlefield...

Jiang He banished the fantasy from his mind and said, "So, we can try to infiltrate the wolf pack these next couple of days, and ideally find the wolf king's true location—"

"No matter how skilled he is at hiding, he is ultimately not a 'lone wolf,' but a 'wolf king.'"

"He will inevitably come into contact with other wolves, and that's the flaw."

"As long as we pinpoint his true form, when the white crane enters the arena, we can all attack together and take him down!"

The master craftsman nodded slightly.

The plan is fine.

Especially with the "Limitless Artifact" in hand, its stored "stealth" and "ever-changing" characteristics are practically tailor-made for the word "undercover agent".

only……

Should we wait for the white crane to make a move?
The craftsman's emotions were complex.

Bai He represents Jiang He's future, but not his.

With the "moment of awakening" as the dividing line, he and Baihe embarked on completely different paths, each experiencing decades or even centuries of time, and were no longer "the same person".

If you had to put it in perspective, the two are more like twin brothers who grew up together, had the same experiences, but separated as adults.

Rather than self-identity, it's more about "estrangement".

Not to mention, Bai He is the kind of lucky person who gets into a prestigious university, marries a beautiful campus belle, and has a bright future – a true winner in life.

The God of Craftsmanship, however, is a tragic example of someone who was abducted to a remote mountain village as a child, brainwashed, and enslaved...

In this situation, let alone trust.

The craftsman's heart was filled with more "jealousy," "resentment," and "obsession"...

Even "rejection".

To make another version of yourself, who seems like a winner in life, see your own miserable and degenerate life, and even have to rely on his help?

“I can do it without him.” The God of Crafts clenched his fist and said seriously, “Although I’m not good at direct combat… as a ‘Creator,’ I don’t need to fight others head-on.”

"I can prepare all kinds of equipment, props, and items in advance..."

"If the enemy is in the open while I am in the dark, I will launch a surprise attack. The Wolf King will definitely be no match for me."

The God of Crafts is an X-rank Heroic Spirit, specializing in creation.

If you farm for gear and play a steady, reliable style, your strength will still be guaranteed.

After all, it's much easier to use extraordinary items to counter something than to use talents.

Jiang He believed he could do it.

But the problem is...

When the master craftsman said these words.

Jiang He could clearly see the emotions of rejection and jealousy on his face.

"..."

The white crane was absolutely right.

There really are words on my face.

Jiang He was momentarily at a loss for words. Compared to seasoned veterans like Bai He and Lao Jiang, the Craftsman God was indeed too inexperienced; even he could read Jiang He's mind.

That makes sense, considering that the God of Crafts was captured as soon as he started out, and spent almost his entire life of over a hundred years unconscious with his eyes rolled back, without any opportunity to hone his skills.

In terms of mental maturity alone, he is not much more mature than Jiang He.

They even amplified bad habits like being paranoid and withdrawn.

Even I became jealous.

The key is……

There's really no need for the Craftsman God to be jealous of the White Crane, is there?
Although the white crane was quite glorious in the early stages, it suffered terribly in the later stages, ending in a tragic ending...

Hmm, I don't think I mentioned this to him?

Jiang He blinked.

When he first introduced Baihe and Lao Jiang to the God of Crafts, he only talked about their talents and abilities. Later, he only talked about Baihe's early storyline.

In the eyes of the master craftsman, Bai He and Lao Jiang are both successful and glamorous winners in life, while he is the most miserable...

The culprit has been found!
"However, the reason why the Craftsman God's black wolf personality disappeared is because, in his heart, the wolf pack robbed him of his 'perfect life.'"

"What if I add some explanation, telling him that Baihe's wife died, that he went mad, and manually destroyed the world... that would further provoke him and cause him to completely turn evil..."

Jiang He hesitated for a moment and did not reveal the truth.

Anyway, the White Crane's cooldown will be over soon.

Let him explain to the God of Craftsmanship then.

Now...

Jiang He said to the Craftsman God, "Since you say so... the white crane will arrive no later than the day after tomorrow, so you still have about a day and a half."

"If you can't kill the Wolf King in one go during this time, then wait for the White Crane to arrive and attack together."

A little provocation.

Whether or not the master craftsman can achieve it, the motivation is certainly there.

Sure enough, the master craftsman was very receptive to this, and his expression changed immediately.

"A day and a half..."

"Give me the ring, I need material."

Jiang He handed the spatial ring to the Craftsman God and asked, "Are these materials enough?"

The materials in the storage space are all C-grade materials that Jiang He farmed in the Abyss. They're fine for dealing with students, but are they really good enough to deal with A-grade superhumans?
The craftsman took the ring, and a flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing a rusty blade.

He looked at the sharp blade, confidence shining in his eyes.

This is the confidence of a top-tier master craftsman!
"enough."

"A true master craftsman is one who can seize the creation of heaven and earth and turn decay into wonder."

"No matter the material, it can shine in my hands!"

The craftsman reached out and stroked the material of the hunter's blade. As the material flowed smoothly, a snow-white blade appeared before his eyes.

He casually swung the blade, and it seemed to slice through even the air itself—

It wasn't just a feeling; space really was cut open!
A rift had been torn open in the living room, and through it, a dark and decaying mirror image could be seen.

This is... a mirror image of the abyss?!

The Craftsman's gaze swept across the spatial rift, revealing a hint of surprise.

"The space beneath Zhongzhou City actually overlaps with this kind of space..."

"You obtained your material here?"

"Indeed, it's different from my world."

The craftsman sighed, watching the space gradually heal, and handed the sharp blade to Jiang He.

"The cutting properties, combined with the spatial properties, form an invincible spatial blade."

"Take it and let Wuji absorb it."

"I don't believe that an S-grade Sky-Splitting Blade can't cut off his wolf's head."
