Dilios stood fifty meters away.
This spot was a relatively flat area halfway up the slope.
Under his control, the Scale Fang Set had already withdrawn its faintly flickering red glow.
Huang Yu and the others stood on the hillside, waiting in silence.
Boom!
Suddenly, crimson flames burst from the gaps between the armor's scales.
Then.
Dark-red flames surged outward like a tide, spreading in all directions from Dilios as the center.
In an instant, "Frenzied Flame" swallowed an area with a radius of ten meters.
The flames rose four or five meters high, and waves of scorching heat spread outward.
The grass and trees in the area where Dilios stood had all turned to ash the instant the flames erupted.
Even standing on the hillside, Huang Yu could feel the searing heat.
The temperature of the flames was clearly astonishingly high!
Dilios was still bathing in the flaming domain, his figure distorted by the intense heat.
This inevitably made Huang Yu worry.
If Dilios were injured or even killed while testing a piece of equipment, Huang Yu would suffer a tremendous loss.
However, Huang Yu's worry was clearly unnecessary.
Just then.
Dilios moved.
He gripped Fanged Fang with one hand.
A red glow darker than the flames wrapped around the blade.
Then.
Dilios swung his sword backward.
A crimson, crescent-shaped flaming slash tore through the air.
Flame Slash!
The second active skill of the Scale Fang Set.
The flaming slash plowed a charred trench into the ground.
It flew more than a dozen meters before slowly dissipating.
Huang Yu nodded in satisfaction.
Judging from the power and attack range it had displayed so far,
the Scale Fang Set was only slightly weaker than Frost Wave.
Buzz, buzz, buzz~
A low-frequency hum came from Dilios.
Dilios released the core energy to its greatest extent.
Flames poured from the joints between the scales.
His entire body transformed into a hell knight wrapped in flames.
He bent his knees and leaped, jumping out of the flaming domain.
Trailing a long tail of flames, he descended toward the foot of the slope..
Bang!
It was like a meteor crashing into the ground.
A deep crater appeared where Dilios landed.
The flames around his body erupted with explosive roars.
A wave of fire rippled outward, stirring up a vast cloud of dust.
Swish, swish, swish!
Three four-meter-high flaming slashes flew out of the dust.
They struck a massive boulder jutting out in the distance.
Sparks flew, and the boulder was cleaved into six pieces.
The cross-sections of every piece showed signs of vitrification.
Seeing the strength displayed by Dilios while wearing the Scale Fang Set,
Huang Yu nodded in satisfaction and called out:
"It's enough, Dilios. That's all for now!"
Upon hearing Huang Yu's order,
Dilios stopped his subsequent movements.
The flames around his body instantly went out, returning him to his previous appearance.
Turning around, Huang Yu said to Baili and Cang Yun:
"Not bad. You've given me a huge surprise!"
To bring out this level of power from a Rare Grade piece of equipment,
at present, only the blacksmiths of the Blue Mountain Workshop could do it.
Hearing Huang Yu's approval,
Baili and Cang Yun exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.
They had spent nearly all their energy that morning making the Scale Fang Set.
Now, all their efforts had been rewarded.
"Being able to successfully create the Scale Fang Set was all thanks to the lord's support!"
Baili spoke to Huang Yu with a humble expression:
"It was because of the ideas the lord provided that Cang Yun and I were able to find a direction for its development."
What ideas did I provide...
Huang Yu gave two dry laughs inwardly, then accepted Baili's praise with an unchanged expression.
Seeing that Huang Yu had shown no particular reaction, Baili continued:
"My lord, through our experience developing the Scale Fang Set, Cang Yun and I have accumulated quite a bit of experience!"
"After refining it for some time, Cang Yun and I are confident we can advance to Master Level!"
Oh!
Hearing this, Huang Yu's spirits lifted.
Although Expert Level Blacksmiths were impressive, there was a limit to the equipment they could forge.
No matter how capable an Expert Level Blacksmith was, they could only forge equipment below Perfect Grade.
Master Level Blacksmiths were different.
Master Level Blacksmiths could bring out the properties of materials perfectly!
Every piece of equipment they made was the best among equipment of the same grade.
Moreover, if they were provided with high-grade materials,
they could forge Transcendent Grade... or even Epic Grade equipment!
Huang Yu could not help asking, "What would it take to help you reach Master Level as soon as possible?"
"More high-quality materials..."
Cang Yun hesitated for a moment before continuing, "To advance to Master Level, theory alone isn't enough. We need to keep experimenting... This process will waste a huge amount of materials, and the cost will be very high!"
"Don't worry about waste!"
Huang Yu waved his hand and said seriously:
"Every master is priceless. Wasting some materials is nothing!"
"From now on, aside from equipment I specifically ask for, you can take any other materials we have and use them according to your own ideas!"
Hearing Huang Yu's words, Baili and Cang Yun were deeply moved.
They hurriedly bowed and said:
"Thank you, my lord. We definitely won't disappoint you!"
Huang Yu nodded, unconcerned.
They only needed high-grade materials, right?
Although he did not have that many for the time being, he had Soul Crystals!
With a thought, Huang Yu opened the Chaos Mall.
After a morning, more than half the goods in his shop had been sold out again.
As many as seven Fine Grade pieces of equipment had even been sold.
The number of Soul Crystals in Huang Yu's account had already reached more than seventeen thousand!
That was where his confidence came from!
If he could not obtain high-grade materials for the time being, he could simply buy them in the Chaos Mall. There was nothing embarrassing about that.
He searched the Chaos Mall for equipment-making materials and filtered for Rare quality and above.
After a short while, a list of materials appeared before Huang Yu.

After quickly scanning through the list,
Huang Yu expressionlessly closed the Chaos Mall.
Sorry!
I'll be going now!
I admit it—I'm a poor man!
