Chapter 12

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Flame Palace’s appraisers, as well as their blacksmiths, were all filled with anticipation for Su Yun’s next project.

It has been more than ten years since anyone had used fifth-grade materials, and it wasn’t because no one wanted to use it.

It was because ordinary blacksmiths didn’t have the ability to process these materials, nor have a clue on how to refine them.

Not everyone has 100 times computational talent. The computational ability of a person’s brain was very limited.

Moreover, what Su Yun planned to do was something that no one had ever done before.

It was as if a whole new world was being created.

There was nothing that he could use for reference.

So, Su Yun have to plan everything from zero. From nothing to something. This also made it harder for Su Yun to find information as easily.

The Flame Palace’s surveillance personnel watched the closed basement, but did not see anything.

Could Su Yun have shut himself in his house the whole day?

If they were to report this to the higher-ups, it would be as good as getting scolded!

They might even be considered to have done a poor job and were lacking in ability. That would be difficult to listen to!

If they couldn’t pass the assessment… What would they do?

The Flame Palace’s monitoring staff cursed silently.

“Why is this Su Yun fellow so rich that he doesn’t even leave his house?!”

“Could it be that he had bought those materials to improve himself?!”

The supervisor, on the other hand, felt that their speculations were incredibly absurd.

There’s no one out there who could use the demonic beast’s materials on themselves.

Would anyone even believe what he said?! One thing for sure, everybody would think of him as nothing more than a fool!

…

In Su Yun’s basement…

Su Yun took out the most basic materials and prepared the needed materials..

“Although [ Flame Skin ] is an advanced level spirit tool,my spiritual power is still less than stellar. I can’t sustain it for long. This problem…”

Su Yun decided to use [ Yellow Flame ] to bake it at the last moment. The temperature of the furnace was too low, so the effect was not very good.

[ Yellow Flame ] seemed to have become a tool with endless possibilities after 5% of its strength was unlocked.

Now it has new features such as charging for 5 minutes and communicating for 2 hours.

As long as [ Yellow Flame ] started to weaken after cultivating for a while, it would not take long for it to recover to its optimal state!

This tool was really becoming a little powerful.

Su Yun originally thought that [ Yellow Flame ] could only play a supporting role.

Who knew that after 5% of its strength was unlocked, its recovery speed would greatly increase.

This made Su Yun even more curious. What other powerful abilities would it have if he had managed to unlock 10% or above of its power?

Perhaps [ Yellow Flame ] was the most powerful spiritual fire in the world!

Well, it’s not impossible…

But first things first, he had to focus on how to forge the muscles now!

It was better not to think about such things. This was not possible.

Su Yun used [ Yellow Flame ] to penetrate the initial materials through the skin and into the muscles.

After more than three hours, he was beginning to feel the difference.

Su Yun realized that his body felt really different from the past.

His grip seemed to have become stronger?!

He realized this when he had accidentally scratched a hole in the chair he was sitting on. Fortunately, he could still sit on it.

Otherwise, he would feel a little bad.

Although he had some money now, his thrifting habit was still alive!

One should not forget their roots!

One should also not be blinded by short-term benefits.

When Su Yun saw that [ Yellow Flame ] started to weaken, he put down the materials and began to cultivate his spiritual power.

When his spiritual power was restored to its optimal state, [ Yellow Flame ]’s energy was also restored to its optimal state.

That night, he found that other than the moderate increase in grip strength, there were no major changes to his muscles.

Moreover, the total quantity of muscles was much greater than the quantity of skin, so he had more to work on.

It was not a task that could be completed in a short period of time.

The next day, Su Yun stopped going to the smithy and instead stayed in the basement of his home to continue refining his muscles. His grip strength seemed to have increased by another 10% .

“It looks like I’m on the right path! It can work!”

On the sixth day, Su Yun felt that the time he spent sleeping had decreased by quite a bit.

Muscle lines started to appear on his body. This time, he had improved quite a bit, making it extremely easy for him to swing the hammer.

His entire person looked even more energetic than before!

Su Yun now looked even more sunny and confident.

He grabbed an ordinary ore and held it with great force. A few handprints appeared on it.

“Hmm, not bad!”

After ten days, Su Yun took out the material from the Herculean devil ape and attached it to his body. He used [ Yellow Flame ] to roast it continuously. After roasting it for about three hours, he finally finished a thumb.

Immediately, the thumb kept trembling. Su Yun used [ Yellow Flame ] to roast it desperately. If not for the fact that his skin was a spirit weapon, it might have been destroyed.

That’s good, that’s good…

After about ten minutes, the thumb finally stabilized completely.

Using the completed thumb, he accidentally pressed on the ground.

In an instant, a hole appeared on the ground.

“This strength is really quite terrifying! No wonder they needed to exhaust the Herculean demonic ape’s physical strength to kill it!”

After that, Su Yun did not continue refining the bigger part in one go.

Another day passed…

Only then did Su Yun complete the Herculean demonic ape’s basic body refinement.

His body could clearly hear the sound of his muscles expanding.

If he was not careful, a few footprints that were about half a meter deep would appear on the ground.

Su Yun frowned slightly. His strength had suddenly increased, but it was not so easy to control!

Once again, he had caused a large amount of damage to his basement. Half an hour later, he finally adapted to the huge change in power.

This made Su Yun afraid to live upstairs. He had been ordering takeout all day.

At night, he would call his granddaughter and ask her to send some blankets over.

Su Youwei had a helpless look on her face as she listened to the phone.

Why is Grandfather sleeping in the basement, is he okay???

Could it be that her grandfather wanted to study something?

Forget it, she would know once she went over to take a look!

She called her younger brother, Su Yuan, and the two of them carried a set of blankets and pushed open the basement door.

They saw that a layer of wood had unknowingly been laid in the basement.

“Grandfather, why are you sleeping in the basement?!” Su Yuan ran over and asked curiously like a baby.

“Go, go, go. I want to study weapon forging, don’t bother me!”

Su Yun quickly chased the two trouble makers away. If they stayed too long, they might find something was amiss.

Su Yuan and Su Youwei walked out of the basement.

“Did you notice? Grandpa seems to have become much younger? !” Su Yuan asked in puzzlement.

“If you didn’t ask me, I would have thought that you wouldn’t have noticed it!” Su Youwei agreed with him.

“Could it be that grandfather is working on some genetic project?!” Su Yuan’s imagination ran wild.

Bang!

Su Youwei hit her brother.

Su Yuan, who was covering his head, looked at his sister with bulging eyes. His face was filled with annoyance.

“In the future, when I get married, I will tell my wife that you bullied me! I will ask her to beat YOU BACK!” Su Yuan fled in panic, afraid that his sister would judge him.

…

One month later…

In the basement…

Su Yun activated his [ Flaming Skin ] . Flames were rolling all over his body, making him look powerful.

The muscles on his body seemed to be able to breathe, opening and closing.

Boom!

Su Yun’s muscles instantly burst out of his clothes, turning them into rags that hung on his body.

He looked like an old beggar.

At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

Ding! “Congratulations on successfully forging an advanced level spirit weapon!”
