“Really, there’s no way to speed up the process?” Ning Dao asked.
“No, it’s impossible to rush it.” Xu Fan shook his head.
“Alright then, in reality, five years is just a blink of an eye for me.”
“It’s just the waiting process for the things you love that make time seem too long.” Ning Dao sighed.
After hearing Ning Dao’s words, Xu Fan rolled his eyes.
“Brother Ning, don’t be impatient. A good Dao Artifact Spiritual Sword can’t be refined overnight.”
“Moreover, the power of the Dao Artifact Spiritual Sword I’m refining for Brother Ning will be at least half stronger than your previous one.” Xu Fan said.
Actually, Xu Fan only planned to refine a basic Dao Artifact Spiritual Sword for Ning Dao. After all, the materials are quite single, but the basics of different Artifact Refiners are not the same.
What Xu Fan considers as basic might be a height that a general Refining Master could never reach in his lifetime.
“l am aware, Elder Xu has been working hard.” Ning Dao said. He knew that refining a new Dao Artifact Spiritual Sword in five years is already quite fast.
If it were another Refining Master, it would take at least ten years to start, or even twenty years.
“Well, by the day Brother Ning gets the spiritual sword, you will definitely feel that these five years were not wasted.”
After all, casually refining is also stronger than your most basic Dao Artifact Spiritual Sword.
“Then I look forward to it.” Ning Dao smiled and said.
Then the two of them chatted about some matters related to the Demon Clan. Xu Fan asked Ning Dao for some publicly available Demon Clan information and some intelligence from inside the Elders’ Association.
In the underground space, outside the Demon Race teleportation array, Xu Fan, who had received a space ring filled with Spirit Heart Ore, was currently daydreaming.
“Spirit Stones can solve all problems. If they can’t solve a problem, it means there aren’t enough Spirit Stones.” Xu Fan looked at the space ring in his hand and said.
“A small portion of the components have been gathered. The rest is to refine the Heavy Armored Puppet.”
“Pu Tao, I’ve authorized you with twenty percent of the computing power, so how come you haven’t come up with a high-level alloy formula now?” Xu Fan said somewhat dissatisfied.
“Master, your degree of cost compression is too high. The formula level of the
Spiritual Iron Alloy is obtained by chance. If you want to actively research it, it will take at least several years of work.”
“At present, Pu Tao’s database is accumulating smelting data of all the Basic Spirit Ores in the Cultivation World.”
“It’s estimated that in the later stages, as the smelting data of Basic Spirit Ores accumulates, a formula that the Master wants might appear.” Pu Tao’s voice was slightly aggrieved.
“Alright, I apologize for overestimating your ability.” Xu Fan said.
Since Pu Tao’s promotion, he has given him too many surprises, hence leading him to a feeling that Pu Tao is omnipotent.
“I’m sorry to disappoint you.”
“Disappoint what? You are already very strong, and luckily, the Spirit Heart Ore has already arrived.”
“I’ll take out two thousand jin of Spirit Heart Ore for your optimization. How much can that increase your computing power?” Xu Fan asked, if the computing power isn’t good enough then he’ll upgrade it through optimization.
“Estimately, computing power will increase by 30%, database capacity will increase by 50%”
The previously aggrieved Pu Tao’s voice instantly became a bit joyful.
“Not bad, it’s higher than I expected.”
“What’s your upper limit data for merging with the Spirit Heart Ore?” Xu Fan asked again.
“The computing power increases by 60%, the database capacity increases by
100%, it could merge at maximum 5500 jin of Spirit Heart Ore.”
“The optimal data is to merge with 4000 jin of Spirit Heart Ore.”
After hearing Pu Tao’s words, Xu Fan planned to take it to the limit in one go and directly upgrade it to the top level.
“After the sect’s grand competition, I’ll personally upgrade you.” Xu Fan said.
“Thank you, Master.”
After chatting with Pu Tao, Xu Fan looked at his two avatars who were being exploited by capitalists.
At this moment, they were working together to refine a Dao Artifact Level Titanium Heart Shield. Looking at the progress, half of it had already been tempered. The first Titanium Heart Shield is expected to be finished three months later.
“Don’t forget what you said, main body. After the sect’s grand competition, you have to come over and help us refine.” The First Clone said.
“Of course, after all, this concerns our future safety.” Xu Fan smiled and said, now the First Clone’s awareness is very high, treating all matters as his own.
Huh, wait, it seems this is indeed his own matter.
The next day, Satellite Island.
Satellite Island is square- shaped, at the center is a stadium-like Duel Arena with a diameter of 50,000 meters.
Now the Duel Arena has already started competitions.
The battle matchups are randomly assigned by Pu Tao, so no one can cheat.
The first battle is a duel between Sword Cultivators.
Between the flashes of sword light, the battle ended. Sword Cultivators are always straightforward.
Second round, a Technique Cultivator versus a disciple from the various treasures faction.
In the end, the power of Krypton Gold won.
The third round, Xu Lingl’ai dueled with a disciple from the technical flow faction and directly sent him out of the Duel Arena using a large- scale divine ability.
The fourth round of battle………..
Xu Fan who was on the podium looked somewhat bored. These disciples’ duels weren’t dull, but nothing surprised him either.
With the competition proceeding, the first round of the competition stage came to an end.
Tool puppets moved forward to repair the damaged field.
The 50 first- generation disciples who advanced began to rest.
An hour later, the second round of the competition stage began.
The first match was between Xiong Li and Thousand Soldiers.
“Brother Bear, please show mercy.” Thousand Soldiers’ legs trembled a bit.
“Don’t worry, I’ll just break your leg max, and add a little injury.” Xiong Li grinned.
Dressed in a full set of heavy spiritual power armor, assumed the Gang Qi True Body, Xiong Li looked impassively at Thousand Soldiers.
By this time, there were already numerous puppets surrounding Thousand Soldiers, with a Flaming Cannon behind the puppets.
Then, Xu Yuexian, a little worried, said to Xu Fan: “Master, will this lead to a death?”
“No, I’m watching. There will not be a big problem.” Xu Fan said, praising his Divine Sense for keeping an eye on the whole competition.
On the competition stage, a hundred base- stage giant shield puppets were stationed with a hundred puppet archers in the back.
The Flaming Cannon, displayed prominently by Thousand Soldiers, deterred Xiong Li at all times.
“Brother Bear, if you dodge this shot, I’ll surrender. How about that?” Thousand Soldiers suggested.
“You’re thinking too much.” Xiong Li spoke nonchalantly.
Xiong Li declared the start, rushing towards Thousand Soldiers.
His Gang Qi True Body surged to a height of ten meters, like a small hill, charged towards Thousand Soldiers.
“Come on, let me see the power of that cannon.” Xiong Li, eyeballing Thousand Soldiers, provoked.
Xiong Li pulled out a pair of giant hammers from the Space Ring and smashed it on the giant shield puppet in the front row of Thousand Soldiers.
“Ah, the hammer I refined has been obtained by this kid.” Xu Fan watched Xiong Li’s giant hammer and spoke.
“The weight of the hammer is strenuous for even an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator.’
“It seems this kid can handle it just fine,” Xu Fan watched Xiong Li effortlessly wield the hammer.
On the battlefield, Thousand Soldiers watched his front row of giant shield puppets crumble like tofu under Xiong Li e s hammer, indignantly yelled at
Xiong Li: “Xiong Li, you are not chivalrous, you used to fight with your fists.”
In previous duels, he calculated the attack power of Xiong Li accurately. Generally, five giant shield puppets could block one attack of Xiong Li. But now, Xiong Li had a weapon, making his puppets seem unnecessary.
“Great Lance Puppets, Archer Puppets, Magical Puppets. Full attack.”
Watching Xiong Li making a mess in the line of giant shield puppets, Thousand Soldiers decided to use all his puppets in one go, pressuring Xiong Li to reveal his weaknesses so he could deliver the final blow.
Two hundred giant shield puppets, a hundred great lance puppets, a hundred archer puppets, and a hundred magical puppets formed a small battle array and fully surrounded Xiong Li.
The giant shield puppets resisted Xiong Li’ s hammer attacks, patiently waiting for the great lance puppets to sneak attack Xiong Li from time to time, landing on his Gang Qi True Body, ringing like a bell.
The outer archer puppets and magical puppets targeted Xiong Li’s perceived weak spots with long-range attacks.
Xu Fan on the stage, looking at Xiong Li wrapped in golden Gang Qi True Body, stroked his chin and said: “The weakness of this Gang Qi True Body seems to be under the big toe of the left foot.”
“It appears to be a safe position now.” Xu Fan chuckled. He had agonized for a long time over where to set this point of vulnerability when he created this technique, and he finally chose this location.
“Xiong Li, this kid plays the hammer well. Thousand Soldiers’ puppet control is okay, he handles these puppets’ battle array quite well.”
“Pity, you met a full-level tank.” Xu Fan laughed.
In Xu Fan’s opinion, Xiong Li by now was ready to graduate from the Foundation Establishment stage.
As Xu Fan finished speaking, Xiong Li burst through Thousand Soldiers’ well-designed battle array. Xiong Li, like a tank, charged towards Thousand Soldiers in a domineering manner, shattering all the puppet obstructions with his hammer.
“It’s over, I simply can’t break his defenses, I can only charge head-on.” Faced with the distance closing Xiong Li, Thousand Soldiers gritted his teeth and declared.
At this moment, he only had less than half of his puppets left.
As Xiong Li was about to sweep another ten giant shield puppets, the Flaming Cannon threatening Xiong Li from afar finally fired.
‘Bronze Battle Body’
In a moment, the original golden Gang Qi True Body instantly turned into an ancient bronze color. Xiong Li swung his giant hammer vengefully at the cannonball launched by the Flaming Cannon.
“Boomer
Xiong Li, with his Bronze Battle Body, flew hundreds of meters away, leaving large trenches in the ground.
Just as Xiong Li landed, dozens of characteristic Rune War Arrows fired towards him.
“Duang~~”
The noise was like the ringing of a bell in an ancient temple that had stood for a thousand years.
Before Xiong Li could react, the Flaming Cannon fired for the second time.
‘Boome
This time, Xiong Li’s Bronze True Body shattered, and this area was enveloped in smoke.
“l should have won this time.” Thousand Soldiers wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said. Since the decision to put all his puppets forward, he meticulously planned the competition which exhausted more than half his energy.
“Junior Sister Su, time to announce the result.” Thousand Soldiers said to the young girl acting as the announcer outside the competition stage.
“Oh, I now announce……….
