Crack—
A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck the material Qin Shujian was hammering.
In response.
Qin Shujian made no attempt to stop it.
The materials were still at the melting stage. Only the sheer quantity he had added had triggered a qualitative change.
For Qin Shujian, the lightning falling now was a good thing.
