Although Ding Zhan would be delayed here for a few days, it was worth it since he would have such an opportunity.
At the same time, everyone was amazed by Wang Yi’s forging skills. He did not even need to make any preparations.
They were not naive enough to think that Wang Yi was just trying to attract attention. After all, his status and position were very clear.
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, the Heavy Blood Pure Gold, which was said to be the strongest divine material in the nine-rank system, was at the center of the sea of flames.
In the blink of an eye, a third of its volume had simply evaporated.
However, this was only the beginning. Under the scorching heat, the size of the Heavy Blood Pure Gold was still shrinking.
When there was less than a third of the Heavy Blood Pure Gold left, this trend completely stopped.
Wang Yi waved his hand, and the raging sea of flames turned into a huge hammer that continued to hammer in the void.
Boom!
As the huge hammer fell, the sound of metal clashing sounded in the treasure vault. It was as if the tribulation clouds in the sky had gathered, and the tribulation lightning shook the mountains and rivers.
Meanwhile, the Heavy Blood Pure Gold was slowly changing its form with a rumble. It changed its appearance and became a spear.
Boom!
When the hammer landed for the last time, Wang Yi nodded slightly. It seemed that the Heavy Blood Pure Gold had already reached a form that he was satisfied with. With a wave of his hand, he directly dispersed the raging sea of fire in the void.
It was only at this moment that the grandmasters hiding in the distance dared to step forward.
Their spiritual power swept over the Heavy Blood Pure Gold that had become as crystalline as a red crystal. Then, everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost.
It was almost identical to Venerable Ning Jing’s previous reaction. Their first reaction was disbelief.
They had never heard that someone could remove all the impurities in the materials.
Furthermore, it only took a short period of time.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed that there was such a Forging Master in this world.
Wang Yi did not care about everyone’s shocked gazes. He pointed his finger and Nine Suns True Qi surged out. Then, a flaming saber simply condensed in the air.
He controlled the saber with two fingers and drew in the air in front of him. The flaming saber in the void moved with him and carved on the spear prototype.
Wang Yi simply minded his own business and started the final step of forging.
He was engraving array patterns!
To be honest, Wang Yi found it very boring. There was no challenge or difficulty at all.
This felt much easier than forging a quasi-Connate array core, let alone forging the Connate weapon, the Guardian Wings.
He just had to brainlessly engrave array patterns on the spear. It was really too easy.
According to Ding Zhan’s requirements for the weapon, Wang Yi chose two corresponding array patterns.
Every additional layer of the Thousand Mass Array Pattern could double a martial artist’s strength. In theory, one could engrave at most ten layers.
Meanwhile, the Space-Breaking Array Pattern could increase the sharpness of a weapon by 100% with every additional layer. In theory, up to ten layers could be engraved.
In other words, as long as the engraving of the two array patterns reached the theoretical upper limit, it could increase the strength of a martial artist and the sharpness of the weapon by ten times.
Actually, this was already very terrifying. If such a weapon was forged, countless experts would probably fight to the death for it.
However, theories were only the upper limit for ordinary people or ordinary Forging Masters. Wang Yi’s existence was meant to break theories, break conventions, and break the upper limit.
At this moment, Wang Yi seemed to have transformed into the best carving master in the world. He kept brandishing his sword in the air, and the flaming saber carved dense array patterns on the spear prototype.
The treasure vault immediately fell silent. They could even hear everyone’s breathing clearly.
To everyone, observing Wang Yi’s forging was a form of enjoyment. His movements were so carefree, casual, and calm.
Moreover, some of the grandmasters present had seen how a Forging Master forged weapons.
It was precisely because they had seen it before that they knew how terrifying Wang Yi’s attainments in forging were.
It was fine if he didn’t need time to prepare. It was fine if he could remove all the impurities in the materials in just a few breaths. After all, his strength was there. However, there was really no way to explain the way he engraved array patterns.
It had to be known that when other Forging Masters carved array patterns, which one of them was not careful?
Only after finding the meridians and power nodes on the weapon prototype could a Forging Master engrave array patterns on it according to the power.
Moreover, even when carving array patterns, one had to be extremely careful. Any slight distraction or mistake would cause the carving to fail. This was also the most difficult part of forging.
Wang Yi’s fingers suddenly pressed downward. At the same time, the flaming saber instantly carved a stroke on the power node of the weapon.
Buzz!
The spear prototype suddenly trembled slightly, and countless mysterious patterns on the spear body reflected and surrounded each other.
Amidst everyone’s daze, ten layers of earthen yellow light and ten layers of crimson light appeared.
However, at the last moment, the light was restrained.
Then, a terrifying spear that emitted a powerful pressure that seemed to be able to tear the universe apart appeared in the void.
“There are ten levels of array patterns. It’s the Weapon Soul Derivation!”
Some of the grandmasters present were clearly knowledgeable. The moment they saw the phenomenon that occurred to the spear, they could not help but exclaim.
After all, such phenomena only existed in legends and rarely appeared in the world. Only some remnant books would have records of them.
Therefore, most people knew nothing about this. They only felt that the scene in front of them was spectacular and terrifying.
In the crowd, a Grandmaster-Rank expert who had just entered Rank-9 had a puzzled look in his eyes.
Looking at the person who spoke, he couldn’t help but cup his fists and say, “Lord, pardon me for being presumptuous, but may I ask what you mean by ten levels of array patterns? What is the Weapon Soul Derivation?”
As soon as he finished speaking, many people in the crowd nodded repeatedly. They probably did not understand what was going on.
It was no wonder that the grandmaster who had just entered Rank-9 called the other party “Lord.” The person who had exclaimed just now was actually one of the strongest grandmasters, a super powerhouse who had completed three qualitative changes in strength.
Sweeping his gaze across the crowd and seeing the confusion on everyone’s faces, this super expert simply said, “I also saw it on a remnant scroll by chance. As for whether it’s true or not, I can’t guarantee it.”
“Everyone, do you know that a Forging Master needs to engrave array patterns when forging a weapon to increase the power of the weapon?”
At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly said, “We naturally know.”
“Other than the strength of the materials, the strength of a weapon depends more on the strength of the engraved array patterns.”
“Some powerful Forging Masters can even superimpose several layers of array patterns on a weapon.”
“It will allow the materials to break through the upper limit and allow the weapon to have an even more terrifying power.”
