Chapter 193 - Forging Weapons (4)

When the super expert heard this, he smiled and continued. “The strongest Forging Master known to date, Master Yan Kai of Ziwei City, can only stack at most seven layers of array patterns when forging weapons.”

“Furthermore, according to the records on that remnant scroll, the theoretical upper limit is ten layers.”

“If a Forging Master can stack ten layers of array patterns, there will be all kinds of unimaginable changes.”

“It can derive the soul of a soldier and have its own intelligence. It can greatly increase a martial artist’s combat strength and even have simple independent combat abilities.”

Hiss!

Everyone couldn’t help but gasp when they heard this. They all looked at Ding Zhan with envy in their eyes.

This was a terrifying weapon with ten layers of array patterns and a mind of its own. Who wouldn’t be envious and jealous?

However, what left everyone dumbfounded was that after Wang Yi stacked ten layers of array patterns, his hands did not stop moving. Instead, the speed at which he carved increased.

There were 11 halos!

There were 13 halos!

There were 19 halos!

…

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly stuttered and asked, “Sir, does the remnant scroll record the stacking of more than ten layers of array patterns?”

The super expert who had completed three qualitative changes in his strength was at a loss. He subconsciously shook his head and said, “No!”

“The upper limit of stacking layers recorded in the remnant scroll is only ten layers. Furthermore, that’s only in theory. There has never been a description of anything above ten layers.”

Of course, Wang Yi’s attention was not on their conversation. Otherwise, he would have waved his hand and said in a cool manner, “I’m just sprinkling water.”

“Sit down, sit down. Don’t be surprised. It’s just routine.”

The number of halos continued to increase as the array patterns were engraved. Only when the 33rd halo lit up above the spear prototype did Wang Yi stop carving.

This did not mean that stacking 33 layers of array patterns was already Wang Yi’s upper limit.

On the contrary, Wang Yi did not use his full strength. He even had a lot of energy left.

However, the 33 layers of array patterns were the upper limit of the Heavy Blood Pure Gold. What would happen if he continued to engrave and stack array patterns?

Even the Heavy Blood Pure Gold, which was said to be the strongest divine material in the nine-grade system, could not withstand the terrifying power of the stacked array patterns. It would be shaken into dregs and lose its intelligence beyond 33 layers.

Wang Yi’s gaze was faint as he looked at the 33 layers of earth yellow and crimson light that reflected and interweaved with one another. He felt that something was missing.

That was right!

After thinking for a long time, Wang Yi suddenly slapped his forehead. He finally understood why he felt that something was missing.

He had forgotten to engrave the Yang Power Array Pattern!

Currently, the greatest threat and enemy of the human race was the Yang God Race, and the weakness of the Yang God Race was that they were afraid of the power of the Yang attribute.

However, he had actually forgotten to engrave an array pattern to increase the power of the Yang attribute on the weapon.

After some thought, Wang Yi had already thought of what array patterns to engrave.

The Blazing Sun Formation Pattern could transform the power of a martial artist into the power of the Yang attribute. Every additional layer of engraving could double the power of the Yang attribute. In theory, only up to 10 years could be engraved.

Since he had already made up his mind, Wang Yi did not hesitate anymore. His sword fingers danced in the air again, and the flaming saber directly engraved array patterns on the spear.

In less than ten minutes, the 33-layered golden halo appeared on the spear prototype again.

Wang Yi reached out and held the spear in his palm. At this point, the forging of the weapon was finally complete.

Sensing the terrifying power contained in the spear, Wang Yi nodded slightly. It was not bad. It should be similar to the quality of the array core.

Meanwhile, Ding Zhan, who had a tough body and a full beard, was looking at him like a wronged wife.

Although Wang Yi knew that the other party was looking at the spear, he still felt a chill run down his spine. He simply threw the newly forged weapon over.

When Ding Zhan saw this, he pounced forward and caught the spear that was thrown at him. He hugged it tightly in his arms as if he was hugging a peerless beauty. His rough face was filled with ecstasy.

Furthermore, Ding Zhan had just caught the spear when a terrifying pressure instantly erupted from it.

Apart from Venerable Ning Jing and Wang Yi, everyone present could not help but stagger back when faced with the sudden pressure.

Some of the weaker experts even found it difficult to breathe. They felt as if their lives would end at any moment.

Fortunately, there were two Venerables present who protected everyone. Otherwise, some grandmasters might have been directly killed by the pressure emitted by the spear.

The spear in Ding Zhan’s palm seemed to have transformed into an arrogant dragon. It shook crazily, trying to break free from the grip of Ding Zhan’s palm and fly into the sky.

The three-colored 33-layered halo instantly emitted a dazzling divine light like the ferocious scales on the dragon’s body. The three colors appeared on the body of the spear like three equally-matched rival powers.

Weapons had minds of their own, so they naturally chose their masters. Moreover, if their master’s combat strength was not good, they would not be able to control such weapons at all.

Ding Zhan held the spear tightly with both hands. The veins on his arms bulged like ferocious little dragons.

Almost all the power in his body was gathered in his palm, firmly controlling the spear to prevent it from leaving his palm.

For a moment, the two of them were in a deadlock. Neither could do anything to the other.

The three-colored 33-layered halo on the spear slowly faded, and its power slowly converged into the spear.

At the same time, Ding Zhan’s arms trembled as if they were spasming.

He felt that his strength was depleting rapidly, and he felt like he was about to run out of strength and could no longer hold on.

Fortunately, the power of the spear had almost been restrained. Just as Ding Zhan was unable to continue…

All the halos had already disappeared, leaving only dense and overlapping array patterns on the spear body.

Hu!

Ding Zhan heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw this. He felt that there was no more strength in his body. Without caring about his image, he lay on the floor.

At this moment, no one mocked Ding Zhan for looking miserable. Instead, everyone’s eyes were focused on the battle spear in his palm. It was engraved with countless mysterious array patterns and was as red as colored glass.

Ding Zhan was strong enough. Thus, he lay on the floor and adjusted his breathing for a moment before recovering.

If it were anyone else, it was very likely that their foundation would be damaged because of this, and their martial path would never be able to recover.

Then, Ding Zhan suddenly jumped up from the ground. His hands rubbed the red glass-like body of the spear, and his eyes could not help but reveal a deep fondness.

At this moment, someone couldn’t help but shout out loud, “Brother Ding, don’t just admire it. There’s plenty of time to do so after you get home.”

“Hurry up and tell everyone the level of the weapon and just how powerful it is.”
