Reforging the Light Shadow Blade

"I am also quite knowledgeable about forging, and I personally forged this sword in its initial stages."

"However, as my strength has increased, this sword has gradually become less effective in handling situations."

"When I established myself in the Chaos Territory, the situation there was too complicated, so in order to improve my combat power more quickly, I collected some precious ores and reforged this sword."

"During the recasting process, the spikes of the Spine Armored Dragon and the tiger teeth of the Flowing Light Tiger King were also incorporated into it."

"It was quite convenient to use at the time!"

He sighed and continued, "But after an assassination attempt five years ago in the Chaos Territory, I realized this sword was still somewhat inadequate. Even with increased combat intensity, it was still not enough!"

"But I was too busy in the Chaos Territory and really didn't have time. Moreover, at that stage, I didn't dare to reforge the weapons and risk the enemy finding an opportunity to assassinate me again, so I just made do with what I had."

"It wasn't until recently, when I felt my strength had grown to the point where I no longer needed weapons to wreak havoc, that I started thinking about rebuilding myself!"

"For this reforging, I went to the Sunset Mountain Range to hunt down a Hellfire Phoenix and take its claws and beak. I also asked the Mysterious Water Swallowing Moon Turtle clan, which I am on good terms with, for a set of turtle shells from one of their powerful members to reforge this sword."

"This reconstruction is far too difficult!"

"I never expected that the dark and fire energy in the Hellfire Phoenix's claws and beaks would clash with the light and Water Element energy in the Mysterious Water Swallowing Moon Turtle's shell when I was inscribing the magic circle."

"This has triggered a series of chain reactions, and I now have to gradually harmonize and balance the energy within, not to mention slowly repairing the magic circle engraved on the blade."

"The material used to forge the blade also deformed during the energy conflict, growing larger and more distorted, completely ruining the shape of my Light Shadow Blade Straight Sword!"

"My purpose in coming to the O'Brien Empire is also to visit your country's master blacksmiths and see if there is any solution!"

Mihail smiled with a mixture of relief and helplessness, "As warriors, we just need to train ourselves properly. Weapons can be forged by Artifact Forging Master. Why do you insist on doing it yourself, Brother Fengyun?"

"Moreover, you actually added completely conflicting Dark Attribute materials during the weapon reforging process. It's one thing for Level 9 Spine Armored Dragon and Flowing Light Tiger King, since neither of them are Saint Beast."

"But the Hellfire Phoenix and the Mysterious Water Swallowing Moon Turtle are both Saint Beast. The conflict of the Saint Realm bloodlines involves the conflict of completely opposing energies such as light and darkness, and water and fire. It's no wonder you can't reforge them normally!"

"Why don't you just forge two Light Shadow Blades with different attributes, one light and one dark? You can dual-wield them or switch between them!"

Mihail sighed and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, your weapon is already like this, there's no point in saying anything more!"

"However, you've come to the right place to find a solution in our O'Brien Empire. As the country with the most Saint Warrior on the continent, we also have the most Artifact Forging Master."

"While I can't guarantee whether I can ultimately help you solve this weapon problem, after this battle, I will personally introduce you to two master craftsmen skilled in forging swords and other similar weapons!"

Fengyun nodded and didn't say anything more. The reason he wanted to forge and recast his own weapon was simply because he felt that it was more comfortable, convenient and to his liking to forge his own weapon.

If other weapon refiners or Alchemy were to forge weapons for him, they could never possibly be as pleasing as those he forged himself. However, he couldn't very well say anything about this kind of fastidiousness to Mihail, lest he become a laughingstock.

As for incorporating two different attributes of magical beast materials—light and dark—into weapons, rather than using weapons of one attribute like the warriors in Coiling Dragon World, it was purely because he felt that this would maximize his combat power.

After all, while it's not impossible to switch weapons during combat, it's never as smooth and seamless as being able to unleash all your skills with just one weapon!

Anyway, with the all-powerful magic circle around, as long as you're willing to put in the effort and time to refine it, you can always create the light and dark dual-attribute Light Shadow Blade you want.

After clearing up the misunderstanding, the two didn't say anything more. After exchanging greetings, they officially started sparring.

However, Mihail did not want to take advantage of Fengyun, because Fengyun had no weapons, and he himself had not used any weapons.

Bang bang pa pa~

The sounds of continuous punches and kicks echoed all around. In a short time, the two had exchanged nearly a hundred blows with their bare hands.

On the arena, flames and light intertwined endlessly, occasionally interspersed with strange and elusive dark energies, drawing cheers from the Martial God Sect disciples watching from the sidelines.

Some disciples who initially had doubts and dissatisfaction with Fengyun 'Fengyun strength gradually came to acknowledge it.

Although during this period, Fengyun's challenges to various Saint Realm in their O'Brien Empire were always limited to minor skirmishes, it can be said that they consistently upheld the harmonious spirit of "friendship first, challenge second."

However, Fengyun was, after all, a member of the Darkness Church. For a newly risen junior like him to act so arrogantly in their O'Brien Empire would naturally displease the disciples of the Martial God Sect. Otherwise, Mihail and the others wouldn't have given Fengyun Yun a hard time as soon as he arrived.

But now that Fengyun has made a move, the disciples of War God Mountain have realized his strength and have come to acknowledge his actions.

This is the value system of high-fantasy martial arts worlds: as long as they are not mortal enemies, powerful individuals can do whatever they want.

However, after exchanging over a hundred blows, Mihail was somewhat dissatisfied with the stalemate between himself and Fengyun.

Although Mihail felt that he was not as gifted as his senior brother Fain, who had reached the pinnacle of the Saint Realm Extreme.

However, having become Martial God Sect and cultivating the path of fire, he occasionally received instruction from the War God, so he was quite confident in his own strength.

Now, Fengyun, a mere twenty-five-year-old, has displayed strength comparable to his own. How could he be satisfied?

Mihail immediately unleashed a burst of fire element around him, with wisps of azure flames emanating from his body as he said, "Be careful, little guy. Warm-up's over. Now I'm going to show you my real skills."

Seeing Mihail engulfed in flames, resembling a human torch, Fengyun's expression turned solemn. All traces of darkness vanished from his body, and he created over a dozen Phantom, beckoning to Mihail and saying, "Come on!"

To be honest, the arena competition limited Fengyun's ability to fully demonstrate his strength.

For Fengyun, who cultivates the Light-Dark Laws and darkness and whose strongest profound understanding is the Fengyun of Light Shadow Profound Mystery, kiting and sneak attacks are his most proficient methods.
