"Li Mo, what is he planning to do?"
"The forger forged his own hammer along with the weapon; what the hell is that?"
In the square, under the blazing sun, Li Mo's Qi and Blood and energy surged, his body seemingly ignited by a furnace.
It seems he was not only forging weapons, but also forging himself.
The Sword Furnace Square was completely silent, except for the sound of weapons being forged, which resounded like a great bell.
Those present, whether skilled in weapon forging or not, were all lost in thought, for they were all equally bewildered, and none had ever witnessed a craftsman pull off such a feat...
You could call him a genius, but he just doesn't follow the usual path.
"Hahaha, this is hilarious! Putting aside his blacksmithing talent, this kid's methods are really wild."
Du Wufeng, the little old man, was gesturing wildly.
Old Du was a child prodigy in his youth, a fact also recorded in the "Unofficial History of Craftsmen".
Is it against regulations to use Mystic Weapon to forge renowned artifacts?
An old eunuch in a blue official robe, with a white face and no beard, spoke up. He was from the Imperial Household Department and was in charge of purchasing ironware for the palace.
The old eunuch looked at the old man, who had white hair and a dark beard.
It was none other than the host of this conference, Elder Nangong... uh, Nangong Min.
Nangong Min squinted. "According to the rules of the Weapon Forging Conference..."
"Smack!"
A walnut was cracked open by a master craftsman's forging hammer. Du Wufeng grabbed the kernel mixed with the walnut shell, put it in his mouth, chewed it with a crunching sound, and ate it in an instant!
"..."
Nangong Min remained silent for a while, seemingly deciding not to confront these blacksmiths head-on.
"The rules don't explicitly state that forging hammers can't be incorporated into the process."
The sage said that a gentleman is not a vessel, which means we should not be completely bound by rules.
The one who suddenly spoke was a middle-aged man with a bamboo hat and gentle features.
"Forest Master is right."
"But he's out of forging hammers, so how is he supposed to finish forging the sword?"
"... etc."
Du Wufeng suddenly noticed that the forging hammer he had just used to crack walnuts was now vibrating slightly.
For the next half incense stick's time, Li Mo continuously fused the materials from the Star Pestle with the sword embryo.
Gradually, the forty completely melted away.
But then, in his palm, another forging hammer appeared that was exactly the same.
"Does he have a second identical Mystic Weapon forging hammer?"
Before the doubts could even settle, they were already lingering.
"Small hammer to fill the gaps, big hammer... work done!"
Li Mo muttered to himself, the power of the world and the Law of Heaven and Earth causing his Qi and Blood to surge into the sky like smoke.
His Qi and Blood energy seemed to be growing stronger at a seemingly imperceptible but actually extremely rapid pace as the forging process progressed.
This was the first time he had truly used the Hammer Treasure, forging weapons with this divine hammer.
He didn't even have the energy to think about or pay attention to the spirituality of weapons.
Fortunately, Taiyin connected his Will Soul of Ice Block.
This weapon was forged by someone who worked with him!
Clang--
Clang--
At this moment, all the Fallen Star Flame ignited by the Sword Furnace converged towards the Hammer Treasure, like a whale sucking in water.
Ten forgings in one breath... twenty forgings in one breath...
Although the number of hits seems to have decreased, in reality, one hit is equivalent to hundreds of hits before!
This is true refinement through countless trials!
Far away.
"This kid can actually wield a divine weapon, and he's only at the Divine Observation Realm!"
In Xiao Qin's ear, his teacher, the Thousand Forms Martial Venerable, seemed to have a slight ripple in his Will Soul.
As a former peak Sixth Realm cultivator, the teacher rarely showed such unusual or strange emotions.
Twice it was because of Junior Sister Ying, but more often it was because of Junior Brother Li.
He was no longer surprised by the teacher's nausea...
"If Elder Han He were to witness this scene, he would probably be moved to tears..."
"Hmm, Han Zhen could die in peace seeing this..."
"Brother Huang, what are you doing standing behind me?"
Xiao Qin turned around, looked at Huang Donglai hiding behind him, and his lips twitched slightly.
If it weren't for his habit of wandering the martial world and his subconscious awareness of what was behind him, he wouldn't have noticed when Huang Donglai hidden himself away!
Huang Donglai scratched his head. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself, I couldn't help myself..."
At the same time.
On the judging panel, Nangong Min, the old eunuch, and the Confucian scholar surnamed Luo from the academy all recognized the extraordinary nature of the hammer, which was clearly not the same as the previous one.
"It really is the Bedrock Calamity Meteor, it's actually in his hands..."
Only when Du Wufeng's soft sigh reached his ears did a flash of inspiration strike him.
The Calamity Meteor Hammer, ranked forty-seventh on the Divine Weapon Ranking.
The reason I need to be reminded is because among all the divine weapons, the hammer weapon stands out so much, yet it also seems rather unremarkable.
It stands out because there are few hammers available, but remains unknown because few people pay attention to it or discuss it.
"No wonder Li Mo was able to kill the Great Shang Imperial Preceptor with a single blow."
"I remember that this Calamity Meteor Hammer made it onto the Divine Weapon Ranking because it was used to forge many divine weapons, but I've never heard of its combat record."
"Judging from the soldiers' demeanor, their ranking should be higher."
"But... Li Mo is only at the third stage of the Divine Observation."
They found this absurd, as even a Seventh Realm expert like the Profound Mastery weapon.
Because divine weapons possess spirits and have different temperaments, they may not necessarily admire or follow the strong.
For example, the Clear Qi Cosmos Brush requires a virtuous person with upright character and a noble spirit to wield.
It's understandable that Li Mo would become the Lord of War, but the fact that he can actually use it...
"I can also slightly activate the sword of my ancestor."
Xie Xuan felt that Li Mo's situation might be similar to his own.
"..."
Du Wufeng suppressed his playful nature, his old face turning serious, and he remained silent for a long time.
What others don't know is that the Calamity Meteor Hammer is more than just a divine weapon.
It was also a forging hammer, which once belonged to the craftsmen.
"Huff... huff..."
Li Mo was in the high temperature, and he felt like his breath was burning.
The sword embryo has now slowly transformed from golden-red to pure white, with a touch of brilliant sky blue within its pure white flame.
The sword he was to forge was modeled after the divine weapon, Moon-in-Mid-Autumn.
His expectations were too perfect...
"Li Mo, the ultimate yang gives rise to yin."
A voice as clear as a spring suddenly rang in his ears.
Li Mo was taken aback. He turned his head and saw a figure stepping across the blazing light and walking to the anvil.
A cool, delicate hand covered the back of his hand.
"I know what it should look like."
"The final blow, we strike together."
Ying Bing leaned against him, her jade-like face flushed with the color of fire, the flames becoming her feathered robes—a manifestation of the Vermilion Bird form within the Jade Phoenix God.
Hammer Treasure seemed to be howling, even though it was initially unhappy about the plan to forge weapons.
The Calamity Meteor Hammer rose and fell.
Finally.
The longsword is covered with clear, snowflake-like patterns.
Hammer Treasure was instantly retracted. Li Mo was a little exhausted, but he stared intently at the longsword being cleansed by the Taiyin Power.
"Even the masterpiece forged by Master Craftsman Du is slightly inferior..."
That's how Li Mo felt, anyway.
