Forging Success—This Is a Spirit-Demon Grade Sword!!!

After smelting the Thousand-Forged Secret Silver.

Ye Ling quickly began forging.

The Thousand-Forged Silver Hammer in his hand struck fiercely at the Thousand-Forged Secret Silver Li Xin had selected earlier, beginning the shaping process.

Sigh, he already knew Thousand Forging First Grade and could be considered half a step into the threshold of Spirit Forging, yet he had never even successfully forged the most basic Hundred-Temper component.

Still, even though he had never succeeded, he had studied the Divine Craftsman's Notes in his mind throughout the past month. At the very least, forging an exquisitely crafted sword was not much of a problem for him now.

It was not as though he had to create those troublesome special devices and special Inscription Engravings.

That made things much easier.

With that thought, Ye Ling continued hammering away. Bloodline Power surged through his entire body, and before long, he had completely forged the rough shape of a sword. After cooling it, he forged and heated it once more.

He wanted the first weapon he forged to reach a flawless level.

"I have to say, little brother really is handsome when he forges. He may be young, but his masculine presence is absolutely overflowing!"

Li Xin endured the scorching heat nearby as she looked toward Ye Ling, a smile flashing through her eyes. She was exceedingly pleased with him.

Her gaze also quietly shifted toward the weapon Ye Ling was forging. She wanted to see what level the first weapon forged by her little brother could reach.

He was a True Knight with spiritual energy. Even as a beginner making his first attempt at forging, he should still be capable of hammering out an Alloy Equipment item directly—and a top-tier one at that.

Although forged Rare Metals looked rather strange, for a beginner to forge Alloy Equipment in one go was already quite impressive.

Especially since it was a sword, which carried even greater significance.

Given Li Xin's status as a knight, she naturally had no use for mere Alloy Equipment. However, Ye Ling had just said that this was the first weapon he had ever forged, and that he intended to give it to her. That thought alone left Li Xin deeply satisfied.

However, when Li Xin looked toward Ye Ling and saw the sword's rough form, confusion flashed through her eyes before they suddenly widened.

Li Xin had initially assumed Ye Ling was merely forging an Alloy Equipment weapon—ordinary and without any special effects, perhaps only somewhat sharper than usual!

But!

As Li Xin looked closer, she unexpectedly discovered that the aura emanating from the sword was not ordinary or bland at all. Instead, it revealed an edge of sharpness, while waves of magical aura flowed from within it, constantly flickering with a peculiar presence.

"Is this... a Magic Grade Precious Sword?"

"In other words, little brother has forged a true Magic Grade Precious Sword already? How is that possible? That requires an experienced Forging Master working with decent materials!"

Li Xin muttered to herself. As for decent materials, there certainly were some—the unusual Silver was extraordinary. After all, two pieces of it were nearly worth a hundred Gold Coins, the price of an ordinary magic weapon.

But how could Ye Ling's forging skills possibly produce a true Magic Grade treasure?

Thinking this, Li Xin steadied herself. She did not hesitate for long and merely continued watching in silence.

Li Xin's identity was not simple either. She had seen more than one or two Magic Grade treasures, and she had even watched the forging process many times.

Thus, she could still analyze it carefully.

Yet after analyzing it, her eyes widened once more.

As she continued sensing it, she could tell from the powerful aura it emitted that the aura released by Ye Ling's sword seemed to have surpassed that of a Magic Grade Precious Sword, achieving a so-called leap in grade!

It had reached the Spirit-Demon Grade?

But how could that be possible?

When had Ye Ling learned how to inscribe magic formations?

And ones for Spirit-Demon Grade formations at that?

Li Xin did not know. Li Xin was completely baffled.

Meanwhile, Ye Ling's forging had entered its final stage. The sword before him was nearly complete.

"I have to say, forging techniques in the Divine Seal World are truly a pure Dimensional Strike. Forget Thousand Forging First Grade—even ordinary Thousand Forging would already crush countless Forging Masters here."

"If I'm not mistaken, the strongest Forging Masters in the Divine Seal World would probably be equivalent to the Soul Forging level, and only Seventh Grade Initial Stage at that. They would barely qualify as Soul Forging, and they wouldn't even be proficient in it."

Ye Ling pondered.

Based on what he had just forged, Hundred-Temper produced Alloy Equipment, while ordinary Thousand Forging produced Magic Grade equipment. Thousand Forging Second Grade produced Spirit Demon Equipment, while Thousand Forging First Grade produced the highest-quality Spirit Demon Equipment!

Moreover, due to the unique properties and spirituality granted by Thousand Forging itself, when forging Magic Grade and Spirit-Demon Grade items, he did not need to inscribe any runes at all. He could directly create the ultimate product—the moment forging ended, it was already complete!

At least, that was the case for Magic Grade and Spirit-Demon Grade equipment. As for the Brilliant Sword level beyond them, Ye Ling had yet to try it, so he did not know much about it.

Before long, as he pondered, Ye Ling finished shaping the sword before him and cooled it.

After making a few minor adjustments, an exceptionally beautiful sword, gleaming with a cold light, appeared.

"Sister Xin'er," Ye Ling called toward the side.

"What is it?" Li Xin walked over.

"Give me your hand." Ye Ling grabbed Li Xin's hand and used the sword to make a small cut on it. Her blood dripped onto the sword, causing waves of wondrous aura to flicker forth. The scent of a Rose emerged from it, and additional decorations appeared as well.

"Even though it doesn't need enchantment inscriptions, if this thing is to gain additional skills, it needs the user's blood. That really is rather troublesome."

Ye Ling helplessly shook his head.

Then, he released Li Xin's delicate hand and handed the sword to her. "Sister Xin'er, it's finished. Take a look at your new weapon."

Li Xin paid no attention to the pain in her hand. Instead, she accepted the sword from Ye Ling, a smile flashing through her eyes. This was a sword given to her by little brother Ye Ling—and it was even his first one.

Ahem, first time forging a weapon.

But once a weapon was in hand, the first thing to do was sense its power and everything it could unleash.

Very quickly, Li Xin began testing the weapon, channeling her spiritual power into it. Because her blood had entered it, she could feel a trace of goodwill and closeness arising from within the precious sword, as though they had already been bound together by fate.

A smile flickered across Li Xin's lips.

This was far more compatible than the precious swords she had used for the past year or two! Never mind its grade—this sense of closeness alone was incomparable.

She soon poured her spiritual power into it and discovered that it gathered perfectly within the blade, remaining exceptionally stable. Unlike an Alloy Grade Precious Sword, there was no risk of damage at any moment. That was only natural; an Alloy Grade Precious Sword could withstand at most two hundred points of External Spiritual Power, while it could barely endure Inner Spiritual Power at all.

"Magic Grade Precious Sword!"

"No wonder she's my little sister."

Li Xin pondered inwardly. All she could say was that it was powerful.

But as she continued pouring spiritual power into it, Li Xin noticed something else.

She could sense that there was a skill within this precious sword!

And a Magic Grade Precious Sword could not carry an additional skill!

Which meant—

Li Xin: "!!!"

This was Spirit-Demon Grade!
