I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

As long as Shen Tian's mental energy shows even the slightest disorder.

As long as those three divine materials show even the slightest sign of becoming unusable.

He swore.

We must rush there immediately and rescue those precious children!

That's his lifeline!

If this kid really sets it off like a firework, he'll probably spend the rest of his life in regret.

"Shen Tian, ​​these three materials have conflicting properties. Stop immediately if there's even the slightest repulsion!"

Guhe couldn't help but give another word of advice.

"rest assured."

Shen Tian calmly replied.

next second.

hum!

An invisible wave instantly swept across the entire arena.

That ball of pure golden spiritual fire floated lightly from between Shen Tian's brows.

Immediately afterwards, the incredibly heavy S-class battle blade [Heavenly Sin], along with the three materials—the Heavenly Meteorite Essence Mother, the Breath of the Wind God, and the Void Marrow—were as if lifted up by an invisible hand, slowly rising into the air.

Guhe's eyelids twitched.

This kid is definitely something.

But that's it.

Smelting is the real hellhole!

Shen Tian manipulated the golden flame, slowly approaching the material suspended in mid-air.

The instant the flame touched the material.

A crisp system notification suddenly rang in his mind.

【Ding! 】

[Consume kill points to immediately upgrade weapon?]

A semi-transparent panel that only he could see popped up in front of Shen Tian's eyes.

The four golden options listed above gleamed with an alluring sheen.

[Consuming 10000 kill points, upgraded to—Low-grade Spirit Weapon!]

[Option Two: Consume 20000 Kill Points to upgrade to a Mid-Grade Spirit Weapon!]

[Option 3: Consume 30000 kill points to upgrade to—Superior Spirit Weapon!]

[Option Four: Consume 40000 Kill Points to upgrade to—Supreme Spirit Weapon!]

Shen Tian stared at the panel in front of him, lost in thought.

He currently has over 50,000 kill points remaining.

If a workman wants to be good, he must first sharpen his weapon.

A good weapon is his second life.

Moreover, it took Guhe, that old miser, emptying his pockets to gather these three materials. If he only produced a low-grade spiritual weapon, it would be a disservice to these divine objects.

"A top-grade spiritual weapon..."

Shen Tian silently made a decision in his heart.

There is another very serious problem.

If it's upgraded directly...

Others start by working for three days and three nights without sleep.

One second the material was raw, and the next second it turned into a top-grade artifact?

This is not called forging weapons.

This is called performing magic.

This is not reasonable.

We still have to put on a show.

Having made up his mind, Shen Tian took a deep breath.

He did not click the "Confirm" button immediately.

Instead, it controlled the golden spiritual fire and began to circle around the pile of materials...

Correct.

It's just spinning around.

The flame flickered, sometimes large, sometimes small, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right.

One moment it teases the dark, black meteorite, the next it tries to bump into the clump of wind element crystals.

It's like a chef who's not doing his job properly, giving the ingredients a massage.

Ten minutes...

Twenty minutes...

Half an hour...

The atmosphere inside the foundry became somewhat eerie.

Chu Feng stood outside the isolation window, rubbing his sore eyes, looking completely bewildered.

"What are they doing? Using mental energy to nurture materials??"

Zhou Xuan was also completely bewildered.

As a true expert, Master Guhe's brows furrowed even more deeply at this moment.

Although the flames looked flashy, not a single bit of heat penetrated into the material!

It felt like... tickling these rocks?

What on earth is this kid doing?

It's been almost an hour!

Gu He wanted to stop him several times, but looking at Shen Tian's serious expression, which resembled constipation, he was afraid of disturbing some of his unique insights.

Another half hour passed.

"well……"

at last.

Master Guhe sighed, and his tense body slowly relaxed.

The tension in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a sense of expected relief.

"Was it really too much of a stretch?"

Guhe shook his head.

In his view, Shen Tian's "fussing around" for more than an hour was actually an attempt to find a starting point, but he could not find the right way.

Those three materials were all incredibly unruly.

Let alone a novice who has just acquired the secret technique.

Even if Gu He himself were to take charge, the preliminary work alone would take three days and three nights.

Shen Tian was stopped at the door.

But that's normal.

If just anyone could handle god-level materials, then what would be the point of him being the chief weaponsmith of the Heavenly Crafts Bureau?

"That's enough."

Looking at Shen Tian, ​​who was covered in sweat, Gu He felt a surge of emotion.

This kid is such an honest person!

Knowing it's impossible, they still persevere.

In order not to waste these materials, he preferred to keep using his mental energy rather than dare to start smelting them rashly.

What kind of spirit is this?

This is a deep respect for the art of weapon forging!

"Good boy, there's nothing shameful about it."

As Guhe thought to himself, a fatherly smile appeared on his face.

Knowing when to retreat is the greatest virtue.

For someone trying this for the first time, being able to keep the materials intact is already a perfect score.

Guhe straightened his clothes and prepared to step forward.

He had even prepared his words of comfort.

"Young friend, stop now."

Guhe took a step forward, his voice gentle:

"The difficulty of smelting these three materials is indeed beyond what is expected. You've managed to hold on until now..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Shen Tian, ​​who had been "struggling to hold on," suddenly opened his eyes.

Where was there any weariness or frustration in those dark eyes?

Yes, but only a sly smile.

And... an endless sharpness!

"Old-fashioned, I think it's about time."

Shen Tian grinned.

In that instant when Guhe was stunned...

Shen Tian focused his mind on the system panel and pressed the button worth 40,000 kill points!

[Ding! 40000 kill points consumed!]

[Forging of Supreme Spirit Weapons - Begin!]

boom!!!

The golden spiritual fire, which had been as docile as a lamb, suddenly surged a hundredfold in that instant!

A terrifying golden light instantly engulfed the entire casting platform!

An indescribable, immense power descended from nowhere!

"What?!"

Guhe's foot, which had just stepped out, froze in mid-air.

His cloudy old eyes widened instantly, like copper bells, as if the corners of his eyes were about to split open.

All that could be seen was the dazzling golden light.

Those three indestructible divine materials, in that instant...

It melted instantly!

There was no process whatsoever!

It's like snow meeting boiling oil!

The originally unruly breath of the wind god, the incomparably hard meteorite iron essence, and the strange void marrow.

At this moment, it became as docile as if it were part of Shen Tian's body.

Instant fusion!

There is absolutely no rejection!

They're so perfect, it's as if they were originally one!

"This...this is impossible!"

Guhe let out a scream as if he had been choked.

That's a god-tier material!

That's not Play-Doh!

Before Guhe could recover from his shock...

hold head high--!!!

A resounding, incomparably loud sword cry suddenly echoed throughout the entire Heavenly Crafts Bureau.

Followed by.

A terrifying purple beam of light pierced through the roof of the foundry and soared into the sky!
