• The narrator explains that Ye Ping’an’s first defensive supreme treasure for Ye Chen could have been better tailored to Ye Chen’s fire-based abilities if Mo Wancheng had forged it. Although Ping’an’s cautious approach is understandable for a first attempt, the narrator encourages him to experiment and promises unlimited support and materials.
