Chapter 323

He could also be considered a powerhouse in body refining, and he just happened to want to see how large the gap was between him and Li Li Batian; the two of them went back and forth, launching constant attacks.

Li Li Batian's strength was fierce, and his use of clever force and hidden force had reached the extreme, leaving Chen Ang with the feeling of having strength but nowhere to apply it.

At first, he thought he was just a big fool who won purely by absolute strength, but that was a huge mistake; how could anyone who could defeat a Spirit Realm existence with Ninth-Stage cultivation be simple?

In desperation, he changed his tactics, switching from offense to defense, constantly draining Li Li Batian's stamina; he did not believe Li Li Batian could sustain such high-intensity consumption of his own power.

He needed to find the right moment, waiting for the power to diminish to deliver a fatal blow; Li Li Batian was also a person with rich combat experience, and seeing Chen Ang not actively attacking head-on but instead choosing to evade and defend, he also understood the idea.

Thinking to speed things up and end the battle early, he attacked Chen Ang continuously; in the end, Li Li Batian was slightly better, and taking advantage of a moment when Chen Ang was inattentive, he successfully defeated him.

Li Li Batian laughed loudly: "Satisfying, satisfying! It's been a long time since I've had such a good time. Chen Ang, you are the first powerhouse at the Ninth Stage who has been able to hold out for so long."

"Among the many people I have fought, I didn't expect you to discover my fatal flaw in such a short time and react in time; you definitely count as a genius of combat."

"It's just a pity that your own strength is not yet formidable enough. I can also see that you are a body-refining powerhouse, but you have only been learning body refining for a short time and haven't fully mastered it."

"When you have thoroughly mastered your own strength, you will definitely be much stronger than before. At that time, you must go easy on me; I really won't be able to beat you then."

Li Li Batian's master walked over and said: "How is it? Chen Ang isn't hurt, is he? Li Li Batian has been like this since he was a child. He's usually not serious, but he becomes very solemn the moment he starts fighting."

"This kid doesn't know his own strength when he strikes; I hope you can understand. His combat power is extremely strong, but his emotional intelligence is very low. You should cultivate him a little when you have time."

"Don't worry, Li Li Batian is definitely a good partner worth entrusting. In the future, if you go out to explore secret realms or such, you can take him with you. He has thick skin and flesh and can help you block some attacks."

"I just watched the battle between you two, and it was very exciting. You were a bit careless; if you had held on for a few more moves, Li Li Batian would have been exhausted and had no strength left."

"Cultivate well, and next time let him see your true strength. Li Li Batian's fighting style is not common within the Wuqu Academy. You have experienced it less; just be careful if you encounter this situation again."

Wan Wan Xingta stood to the side and said with a smile: "As expected of Li Li Batian, truly formidable. Chen Ang, after we go back today, I will give you a detailed file. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. How about it? Is this Li Li Batian impressive?"

"Very impressive. At the same level, the pressure he gave me was terrifying. It's just a pity that I was one move short in the end and didn't win."

"It seems I need to work even harder. There are many geniuses in the Wuqu Academy; I cannot start having arrogant thoughts because of the victories during this period. I must learn to guard against pride and impetuosity."

350: The Means of the Divine Craftsman

The Green Dragon Moon Spear felt somewhat insufficient, a bit too light. Ever since body refining, he clearly felt that the Green Dragon Moon Spear was somewhat unsuitable for body-refining development.

"Wan Wan Xingta, what do you say we should do?"

"There is a Divine Craftsman Shop inside our academy. If you can ask the divine craftsman in that shop to take action and re-forge the Green Dragon Moon Spear for you, there will definitely be a qualitative leap."

"However, that divine craftsman has a rather eccentric temper. You have to find a way to please him. It just so happens that I have a piece of material that the divine craftsman needs. How about it? Do you want to try?"

"This Sky Star Iron is a very precious divine iron. The divine craftsman has spent a long time without getting any, but our family happened to get some. If you take this to exchange, the divine craftsman will probably be very satisfied."

The two arrived at the Divine Craftsman Shop and saw the legendary divine craftsman. Chen Ang took the lead and said: "Senior, I want to add a little weight to the Green Dragon Moon Spear. Do you have any recommendations?"

"The conditions and such are easy to talk about. I hope you can take action, Senior. I have used this weapon for a long time, and body refining just happens to require some modifications, so I thought of your great name."

The divine craftsman didn't say much, took the Green Dragon Moon Spear, observed it carefully, and said with a smile: "Chen Ang, this Green Dragon Moon Spear of yours can be considered a top-grade weapon. Modifying it might result in it being scrapped; you must think it over."

"Even if I am a divine craftsman, I cannot guarantee a 100% success rate in forging it for you. I can only try. I have always gone by first impressions, and I find you quite agreeable, so I won't charge you this time."

Chen Ang did not expect such a good thing and agreed. He still took out the Sky Star Iron. The divine craftsman looked at the Sky Star Iron, his face full of shock.

"Where did you find this treasure? I have been searching crazily for this period and haven't found any. However, if this Sky Star Iron can be fused into the Green Dragon Moon Spear, it will be a qualitative leap for your weapon."

"I'll ask you one last time, are you really sure? Once the forging fails, this weapon will be wasted. I'll tell you in advance, I won't take any responsibility."

The divine craftsman agreed: "Since you, kid, are so determined, I have no reason to refuse. I will help you with this. I will forge it well. With the Sky Star Iron, plus some special mineral materials, it is enough to raise the Green Dragon Moon Spear to a new level."

After the divine craftsman's polishing, which took half a day, the Green Dragon Moon Spear was finally improved and forged. The divine craftsman was very happy looking at the transformed Green Dragon Moon Spear; it belonged to his works.

Chen Ang took the Green Dragon Moon Spear again and felt it had become very heavy. He couldn't even lift it at first, and it took a huge amount of effort to barely swing it.

The divine craftsman reminded him: "The Green Dragon Moon Spear has completed its transformation. You should drip your essence blood into it to make it thoroughly recognize its master. You didn't make it recognize its master just now, so it must be heavy to swing."

After the weapon thoroughly recognized its master, the improved Green Dragon Moon Spear emitted a powerful killing intent, with a sense of compression as if it were the only one in the world.

"Chen Ang, this can be said to be the most satisfying weapon so far. If you cultivate it well in the future, it can even nurture an artifact spirit. With the help of an artifact spirit, mastering the weapon will be even easier."

"You haven't fully mastered it yet. Whether it can nurture an artifact spirit depends on your opportunity. All I can do is help you bring the weapon to a perfect state."

Chen Ang was very happy. With the improved weapon, he was confident that if he faced Li Li Batian again, he wouldn't be as passive as before. This time, he owed the divine craftsman a favor.

The divine craftsman said with a smile: "Chen Ang, if there is nothing else, you can leave. This friend of yours beside you happens to have some things to discuss with me."

Chen Ang also saw the divine craftsman's intention and didn't Lin Lin Linger, turning to leave.

"Don't tell me you picked this up, kid. As far as I know, the families in the entire Meteorite World that can obtain Sky Star Iron are extremely rare, and there is only one that owns a Sky Star Iron mine."

"It just so happens that this was excavated from the Sky Star Iron mine, and looking at it, it seems to be from the last two or three days. It seems you should be a member of the Long family, am I right?"

Seeing that Wan Wan Xingta did not deny it, the divine craftsman did not say much more. Neither of them spoke, and they were in a secret contest. There was no other way; after all, he had a request of him.

The divine craftsman took the lead and said: "I need a large amount of Sky Star Iron to forge weapons now. I don't know what price the Long family would offer to sell me enough Sky Star Iron."

"The gates of the Long family are always open for you, my lord divine craftsman. If you are willing, the Long family is willing to support you with as much Sky Star Iron as you need. What do you think?"

"I belong to the Wuqu Academy. Asking me to become a retainer of your Long family, isn't that a bit too difficult? If you are going to force me, you'll have to find a way to make the Acting Acting Dean go to the Long family for a trip."

"No need to trouble the Acting Acting Dean. How about this, we each take a step back. The Long family will provide you with materials and a large amount of Sky Star Iron, and you just need to forge ten weapons for the Long family every month."

"I also know that you, old man, have your pride and don't want to become a family retainer. Let's consider this a transaction between us. You should be able to accept this in your heart, right?"

The divine craftsman was originally somewhat reluctant, but seeing the Long family offer such a price, he had no choice but to agree. There were indeed some forging materials that were really hard to find within the Wuqu Academy.

Wan Wan Xingta said: "Divine craftsman, how much Sky Star Iron do you need? In a few days, people from my Long family will find a way to send it over. Don't worry, I have a say within the Long family. I believe they won't oppose what I say, so you can rest assured."

"If anyone from the Long family dares to harass you in the future, just let them come to me, and I will solve it for you. If you can't become a family retainer, becoming a partner is also a good choice."

The divine craftsman then took out a long sword and handed it to Wan Wan Xingta, saying with a smile: "I see that you don't have a suitable weapon either. I'll give you this long sword. I can feel a clear fire-attribute aura on you."

"This long sword can allow the flames in your body to exert even more powerful might. This can also be considered compensation for the transaction; I don't want to owe others too much."

He originally wanted to refuse, but when he touched the long sword, the mysterious flame in his body seemed to be stimulated and became even more formidable.

Seeing this scene, the divine craftsman couldn't help but laugh: "The divine sword has an affinity with you, so just take it. This long sword can also be considered one of the very good pieces among my many works."

"I give it to you, hoping you won't disgrace its power. I can see that you are a good child, and I hope this long sword can exert the effect it should have."

"And that mysterious flame, I don't know what it is, but I can feel a very terrifying aura. The material of this long sword comes from beyond the heavens, and it can resonate with your flame, which means there must be a certain connection between the two. These all need you to explore slowly."

351: Fire God Mountain Range

Wan Wan Xingta looked at the long sword in his hand and couldn't help but laugh at the divine craftsman: "I am very satisfied with this gift. Don't worry, my lord divine craftsman, from now on, you are an honored guest of our Long family."

"If anyone in the Long family dares to be disrespectful to you, I will solve it for you. Do you know where the ore used to forge this divine sword was at the time? My understanding of the mysterious flame is not comprehensive, perhaps going to that place can provide some clues."

"That place is not far, it is in the distant Fire God Mountain Range. You can go there to look for traces of the ore, and you should have some gains."

After Wan Wan Xingta bid farewell to the divine craftsman, he went to the library to specifically investigate the Fire God Mountain Range. He didn't know until he checked, but he was startled; this Fire God Mountain Range was indeed terrifying.

The demonic beasts living there were of very high levels, the environment was extremely harsh, and it was particularly prone to producing various fire-attribute rock ores, which were very suitable for forging. This long sword was made from the ore materials obtained from there.

It seems he had to find a way to go with Chen Ang to see if there were any clues about the mysterious flame. After leaving the library, he went straight to Chen Ang's residence. After stating his intention, he agreed without hesitation.

Taking out the Sky Star Iron to ask the divine craftsman to take action, such precious mineral material made him feel a bit guilty in his heart, and this time just happened to make up for the deficiency.

Wan Wan Xingta warned: "Chen Ang, you must think it over. This time is different from usual. The Fire God Mountain Range is not managed by the Wuqu Academy. In the Fire God Mountain Range, even if we die, it's not certain that anyone will be able to find our corpses. I hope you can prepare for the worst."

"I'll go back and prepare some things first. Rest well tonight, maintain the best mental state, and prepare yourself mentally. We'll see each other tomorrow."

After resting for a night, the two came to the Fire God Mountain Range. He took out a pill and threw it to Chen Ang, warning him: "This is a Fire-Avoidance Pill. After using it, it can prevent the heat waves inside the Fire God Mountain Range from causing burns to your skin."

"The medicinal effect only lasts for three days. After three days, we must leave the Fire God Mountain Range. We came in a hurry and didn't get too many. We each have one, so we must act quickly."

After the two took the pills, they instantly felt much cooler. On the way, they also encountered some demonic beasts, all of which were solved casually.

Suddenly, Wan Wan Xingta felt that the purple-red ore in front seemed to have some connection with the mysterious flame. Just as he was about to pick it up, he was ambushed. Fortunately, Chen Ang's reaction speed was extremely fast, and he blocked it.

The three people couldn't help but laugh: "This ore is a treasure we have our eyes on. You two had better leave quickly. We three brothers kill people like hemp, and we don't want to cause too much trouble."

He originally wanted to pick the ore and observe it carefully, but looking at the situation, he decided to retreat first. Chen Ang was confident that he could easily solve the people on the opposite side in a two-against-three. Among the Ninth Stage, few people could win against him in a one-on-one.

But thinking that Wan Wan Xingta was by his side, he asked: "How is it? You should have no problem dealing with one person, right? Their cultivation levels are all Ninth-Stage powerhouses. If we really fight, there is a great hope."

"Don't forget, this is my home field. These three will die without a burial place today. This Fire God Mountain Range allows the mysterious flame in my body to exert great power. You just watch from afar."

Seeing Wan Wan Xingta summon the mysterious flame and start rushing towards the three, he didn't expect such a change to happen. They wanted to extinguish the flame, but they couldn't extinguish it no matter what.

Several people screamed in pain, but Chen Ang and Wan Wan Xingta did not choose to save them. This world is the law of the jungle; if they didn't kill them, the ones who would die in the end would definitely be themselves.

Finally, in the burning of the mysterious flame, the three turned into ashes. He originally thought there would be a life-and-death battle and was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect it to be solved so easily by Wan Wan Xingta.

Picking up the dark red ore, he couldn't help but laugh: "Not bad, this ore is just right for the long sword's mineral material. It belongs to the same type, but this ore is not as special as the material inside the divine sword."

The two continued to look forward, and soon they could find a situation. The two kept walking forward and found that the energy contained in the ore was increasing more and more, until they reached the entrance of the cave, where the two chose to stop.

Wan Wan Xingta took out the long sword and summoned the mysterious flame. Chen Ang also started to pick up the Green Dragon Moon Spear, staring at the cave, always feeling a dangerous aura rushing towards him.

Just as they walked into the cave entrance, they were blocked by a Fire Fox, which emitted the cultivation of the Ninth-Stage Peak, and they had to be careful to deal with it.

Chen Ang took the lead and said: "There must be good things inside. I will hold the Fire Fox for you, go in quickly and get the treasure. The treasure guarded by such a formidable demonic beast is definitely not simple."

The Fire Fox looked at Wan Wan Xingta wanting to go in and was very angry. The strength of the Ninth-Stage Peak rushed towards them, making both of them feel a powerful sense of pressure.

Chen Ang was not afraid at all and went up to fight the Fire Fox. You must know that the Green Dragon Moon Spear had been upgraded by the divine craftsman and had become very terrifying, but it could only fight to a draw, which shows the terror of the Fire Fox.

The Fire Fox had a unique advantage in the Fire God Mountain Range. Relying on the unique advantages of the surrounding environment, Chen Ang began to be at a disadvantage, and the threat to himself was indeed a bit too great.

On the other side, Wan Wan Xingta entered the cave and found only a statue, nothing else. This statue made Wan Wan Xingta couldn't help but frown; where had he seen the person on the statue before?
