If You're Going to Explode, Say Something! You Splattered Me in the Face

Mu Qianqian did not rush to answer.

With a wave of his arm, his spiritual energy enveloped Qin Jiuxiao, lifting him slightly forward.

Then there was a "sizzle" sound.

Qin Jiuxiao suddenly felt a slight breeze shift in some areas of his body.

"Forging this thing."

"Forging this thing again?" Feng Dachui frowned, glanced at it twice, and said:

"The one we tried last time couldn't even withstand one hammer blow. You broke this one and blamed me, then just threw it away. Now he walks like a girl, and you bring this one over. I bet it won't even last a day."

Qin Jiuxiao's feelings at this moment were extremely complicated.

I never expected my master to be so direct.

Although I didn't really care that there were many people around and it was broad daylight.

But I'm not a thing myself, so how did I become one?

What else is this supposed to mean?

Didn't get into a big one?

A scholar can be killed but not humiliated.

At that moment, Qin Jiuxiao activated his Hard and Unyielding Physique.

The spear flashed like a dragon, pointing towards the sky.

Mu Qianqian glanced at it and smiled:

"He's different; he's special. He's bound to succeed."

Feng Dachui withdrew his gaze from Qin Jiuxiao and said:

"What if it explodes again during forging? Who's responsible then?"

"It's on me," Mu Qianqian said.

"Looks like you're quite confident this time."

Feng Dachui gave Mu Qianqian a deep look, then turned and headed into the valley, saying at the same time:

Let's get started now.

"Ah?"

Qin Jiuxiao suddenly seemed to realize something.

Exploding? What's exploding?

It exploded! A girl-like figure walked down the aisle?

Qin Jiuxiao suddenly realized the problem.

That's quite risky!

According to this "Sanxi" theory, the last one that exploded was immediately abandoned.

He's relying on this thing now; if it really explodes during forging, in every sense of the word, he'll lose his lifeline.

"Master."

Qin Jiuxiao quickly spoke up:

"Should we reconsider?"

"What, scared now?" Feng Dachui shook his head without turning his head.

"You seemed pretty excited just now."

"There's nothing to be afraid of, just bear with it and it will pass. I'm in a hurry, I have to leave soon to wait at the place where Wei Chen's inheritance is located."

"Wei Chen?" Mu Qianqian thought for a moment and said:

"That guy who claims to research mechanical arts and magic? Isn't that considered Xiao Dao by many, not worthy of serious attention? Why are you suddenly interested in him?"

"I'm bored, so I might as well learn about it," Feng Dachui replied, then smiled as if he had suddenly thought of something.

"You're lucky, kid. If it really explodes, I'll study those mechanisms and spells and make you a fake one. It'll save you a couple ounces of weight, but you won't be used to it."

As they spoke, the group had already entered the valley.

"Come on, let's go up."

With a wave of his hand, Feng Dachui cleared the countertop.

Mu Qianqian raised her hand, her spiritual energy enveloping Qin Jiuxiao, and placed it on top.

At the same time, he took out a bunch of various things from the storage ring given to him by Mo Gen, and instructed the other disciples to feed them, stuff them in, and apply them.

After a flurry of activity, Mu Qianqian looked at Qin Jiuxiao and said:

"You must hang in there. This is all I can do for you."

Qin Jiuxiao didn't speak, his face was so tense that the wrinkles on his face almost formed the word "nervous".

"Alright, a short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one."

Feng Dachui waved his hand, extended his arm, and with a flash of light, took out a hammer taller than a person.

Qin Jiuxiao's pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and his face turned several shades pale.

Before he could react further, the sound of wind breaking rang out.

Bang!

A muffled thud.

"Wow, that's certainly something special. You actually managed to hold on! Let's try again!"

Bang!

"It's a bit flat, but its firmness is definitely much better than the last one; it's a promising talent."

Bang!

"You little rascal, you've got some skills. Come on, let's increase the intensity."

Thud! Thud!

"Ptooey, ptooey, it was just fine a moment ago, how did it explode? Ptooey, if you wanted to explode, you should have said so! You splattered it all over my face, what bad luck!"

With a flash of light, Feng Dachui's hammer vanished.

He turned to look at Mu Qianqian:

"See? I told you before, this thing can't be forged."

"Alright, another one's broken. Look, it's practically convulsing now."

A look of regret flashed across Mu Qianqian's face. She hadn't expected to fail again. If she had succeeded, it would have been perfect. From now on, she was afraid she would only be able to rely on his verbal skills.

"Since we all came together, why don't we let these three give it a try too?"

Feng Dachui looked at Mo Gen and the other two.

A simple sentence caused the three men's expressions to change simultaneously; two took a step back, while the third shook his head vigorously.

Just then, Qin Jiuxiao, who was on the table, suddenly stopped sobbing.

He appeared to have fainted.

However, his brows did not relax; instead, they seemed to be furrowed in some kind of effort.

Within its body, amidst the chaotic aura, different auras were faintly emerging and growing stronger.

"Um?"

As if sensing something, Feng Dachui turned to look at Qin Jiuxiao, his expression one of surprise:

"This kid..."

Mountain and Sea Village.

"Master, the information regarding the Black Freak's opportunity has changed. Current remaining opportunity information: 1."

Upon hearing the sudden system notification, Lu Changzhi's heart stirred.

"I completely forgot about that."

With a thought, Lu Changzhi entered the System Space, glanced at the opportunity information, and asked:

"What changed again?"

"Reporting to Master, it is about destruction followed by construction," the system replied, then continued:

"Would you like to spend 500 experience points to view the relevant records?"

"Check the relevant records?" Lu Changzhi was somewhat surprised.

"A new feature that appeared after the glitch?"

"No, Master," the system explained.

"As the leeks that belong to their owner, these moments of opportunity are crucial to their growth. The system will record these important moments so that the owner can review them and achieve the goal of 'not harvesting on the first day, but harvesting on the fifteenth.'"

"Previously, the master simply hadn't asked, but this time, I believe you might need it."

After listening, Lu Changzhi roughly understood.

Simply put, every opportunity he didn't have to get it done was recorded.

"If I remember correctly, after experiencing this process of destruction and rebirth, Qin Jiuxiao's Hard and Unyielding Physique has been enhanced; it should also be considered a method of body tempering."

"Let's see what form it takes. If it's suitable, we can let Gu Chen use it for body tempering; perhaps that would be effective."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Changzhi decided to check.

A short while later, Lu Changzhi finished reading the records.

The visual presentation was very direct, yet it made him frown and his expression complex.

"These blackened leeks are really fierce; they actually dare to try this."

As a fellow man, Lu Changzhi felt a chill run down his spine.

That's incredible!

It's incredibly satisfying to play.

I never expected that the process of breaking down and rebuilding would take this form; the method couldn't be simpler and more brutal.

It's a pity there was no follow-up, otherwise he would have been curious: if everything was gone, what would Qin Jiuxiao use to establish himself?

"It seems this method is still not suitable for Gu Chen to try."

After closing the record and recalling what he had just seen, Lu Changzhi felt somewhat bewildered.

I spent 500 experience points, but what did I even see?

Shaking his head and clearing his thoughts, Lu Changzhi turned his gaze to the second piece of information about the opportunity.

"Speaking of which, I forgot to ask Mu Fan if he's interested in these mechanical arts."

Having more skills is never a bad thing; with more variety, perhaps Mu Fan can come up with some new and interesting gadgets.

At that moment, Lu Changzhi took out the communication stone and sent a message to inquire.

As the saying goes, a master understands his disciple.

As expected, Mu Fan showed considerable interest in something that many powerful people considered worthless.

"Since I'm just idling around anyway, I might as well go and see what the level of inheritance in the outside world is like."
