Chapter 1338 674: As Long As You Have Hands
What the hell is happening?
Lou Feng felt terrible and instinctively wanted to run away...
After all, you stomp into the basement all steamed up to question someone, but before you can open your mouth, the damn guy across the room starts laughing, pulls you in, and locks the door...
Just missing the part where he'd pull your hair, give a crooked smile, and say 'Finally, fell for it'.
Too freaky!
But before Lou Feng could react, Ji Jue had already tossed his failed product into the ever-growing pile of waste and grabbed a sword core from the table, throwing it into the Melting Furnace.
The Flame Light roared up.
Refining, begin!
In the silence, Lou Feng stared wide-eyed.
Then... his eyes started to dry out.
So, can I blink now?
After all, no matter how intently he looked left and right, up and down, it was just an ordinary Three-phase Alchemy casting, even the form and design were just a plain, typical Blessed Creation.
What the hell am I supposed to be looking at?
Lou Feng was so amused he laughed.
I admit your Battle-tempered blessing is smooth, Three-phase Alchemy is profound, but what exactly are you trying to accomplish here?
Indeed, it's plain: neither excellent nor terrible.
But the ordinariness itself is an original sin. Considering your current position, this level is ridiculously subpar!
What's the point?
Are you wasting my time?
For the sake of the barely existent trust between the two of us, after squatting here for half an hour, Lou Feng couldn't stand it anymore.
He felt like an idiot.
"What the hell are you showing me!"
Lou Feng rolled his eyes and demanded, "Stop pretending to be a master, speak!"
"Almost done, just wait a bit longer..."
Ji Jue's hands didn't stop moving, already at the Spiritual Formation step.
His speed was lightning fast.
Fast, indeed, absurdly fast. This rapid alchemy technique surprised Lou Feng a bit, considering the speed itself is a foundational skill, even though the operation was mediocre, the control over temperature and timing was exceptionally strong.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, his ten fingers came together, then spread apart, and complex, intertwined Spiritual Circuits emerged from the metal. The Material Spirit Combination fused into one, like a giant tree growing out of nothing. Lou Feng frowned...
It's too complex, too exaggerated, too ridiculous.
Like cramming a computer operating system onto a microwave's motherboard, is this guy showing off to me?
Cramming it in is useless; it won't even start up!
The sword core's material is too ordinary, no matter how much is stuffed in, the limit is predetermined. Even if everything is packed in, given your craftsmanship level, it's still just C+ Class.
Then Lou Feng was dumbfounded.
Boom!!!
The Melting Furnace suddenly shook violently, spiritual essence erupted, materiality intensified, and cracks burst forth across the sword blade, as the overloaded spiritual structure began to rapidly collapse and disintegrate.
In that instant, the complex Spiritual Tree shone brightly, fiercely clashing with the sword blade, the sound of shattering was endless...
Like a chain reaction, the sword blade rapidly fractured, shattered, as the spiritual structure quickly collapsed, no, exploded!
From outside to inside, spiritual objects annihilated each other!
Failed?
No, it wasn't...
In a nearly head-to-head collision, scorching red Flame Light burst from the sword blade, ejecting a large amount of impurities and fragments, while layer upon layer of peeled-off, divided spiritual circuits swiftly transformed from bulky to straightforward, from intricate to clear.
At a certain moment of mutual consumption, it abruptly ended, with both perfectly fusing together, blending as if made in heaven.
Only a mournfully howling remnant sword remained in the furnace, its blood-red hue piercing Lou Feng's eyes.
The sword blade fell into Ji Jue's hand, deftly wiped, dispersing the residual heat; after the scorching red faded, it turned jet black, yet under the honing of the spiritual quality, strands of brilliant Silver Radiance swiftly emerged.
Even the sword hilt and fittings weren't bothered with any facade; the broken sword was directly handed to Lou Feng.
Even the Silver Radiance had dissipated, looking plain and unremarkable.
In the instant he flicked it with his finger, a chilling, crisp chime spread out, making one feel as if plunged into an icy cavern, shivering thoroughly.
Spiritual charm restrained, sharpness concealed.
It seemed simple, yet in reality, from the moment it came out of the furnace, it seemed like a vortex, drawing in the thin spiritual essence from the air. When it sensed the spiritual essence Lou Feng injected, it became increasingly ravenous and greedy, like a bottomless pit, endlessly devouring... Right under his nose, the notches and cracks on the sword blade started to show signs of closing.
Lou Feng, in a daze, leaned in close, scrutinizing, not caring about his dried eyes.
Incomprehensible.
No matter how you look at it, the sword in his hand, even if a defective product, placed in the Association, would be rated at least B+ Rank!
It's not A only because it's dragged down by having just one blessing, lacking a Blessing Chain. If Ji Jue put in a little more effort and added a Legion three-piece set, it would start at A+!
But the issue is, from beginning to end, everything was right under Lou Feng's nose; a sword limited by material and simple design, rated as a mere C Class, suddenly shot up a whole rank and three evaluation levels before his very eyes, a mother hen turned into a duck, a commoner into a phoenix!
Literally, Stone to Gold!
