Chapter 118: Frost-Flame Death-Mark Broken Sword!

The core of the Long Xiang broken sword was this dragon scale.

Without this dragon scale, perhaps this sword wouldn't reach Diamond quality.

This was Su Ming’s most handy weapon, so naturally, he wanted to upgrade it.

He waved his hand.

Click, click, click, click.

Many high-level materials decomposed from his personal space floated in mid-air, waiting for his command.

Materials like Warm-Flame Heart-Protecting Iron and Rigid-Curved Mechanical Brackets decomposed from the Flame-Flow Knuckle Dusters all floated in mid-air.

Death Bone Ash and Undead-Quality Steel were also decomposed from the Gray Bone Greatsword sublimated to Diamond grade...

There was also the [Melt-Cold Alloy (Diamond Mid-Grade)] he had obtained from a Diamond treasure chest earlier.

And a large amount of materials decomposed from some Platinum-grade equipment.

Over twenty types of steel materials floated dazzlingly in front of Su Ming.

After resting and recovering his stamina, he made full preparations.

He waved his hand.

Boom, boom, boom!

All the steel, as if kneaded by some invisible force, began to melt gradually and burn out of thin air.

This was Forging Power, capable of using mental energy to burn steel.

This allowed for the extraction of essence.

Of course, the prerequisite was that these materials must be your own property.

If it were an enemy’s weapon, you certainly couldn't use Forging Power to disintegrate it directly in battle.

If that were the case, life-classes would become overpowered combat classes.

However, there had been a few such powerful blacksmiths in history.

When the [Forging Power] skill reached its peak, you could even refine all things, directly disintegrating an enemy’s equipment.

But such blacksmiths were extremely rare.

Throughout history, let alone the Dragon Kingdom, even if all the countries on Blue Star were added together, there weren't a few.

Su Ming looked at the materials in front of him and began to act cautiously.

"Even the most experienced blacksmith has a failure probability when forging Diamond-grade equipment..."

"This is my first time forging such high-quality equipment, so I naturally have to be more careful."

"Moreover, the Long Xiang broken sword is my best weapon, and I don't want to fail the forging and destroy it."

Su Ming frowned, his expression grave.

He concentrated 100% of his mental energy, his gaze like a torch, staring fixedly at these materials.

It took half a day to finally extract the essence from the steel.

This process could not be interrupted.

So he had to complete it in one go.

During this process, mental energy had to flow like a trickling stream, slowly and steadily.

Unlike combat classes, which consumed a large amount of mental energy in an instant.

During the forging process, the consumption of mental energy was like a winding stream, very slow.

Only with such precision could it be maintained for a long time.

Looking at the steel essence flowing with golden light, Su Ming scanned the data with his Insight Eye.

[Melt-Cold Alloy Essence: Can provide dual ice and fire additional damage to the weapon, and can protect the weapon; even if the casting fails, the quality will not drop below Diamond.]

[Death Bone Ash Essence: A type of bone ash, and also a high-level forging material favored by the undead race; weapons forged with it will have a higher probability of obtaining high-quality curse affixes.]

[Warm-Flame Heart-Protecting Iron Essence: The fire damage dealt by weapons forged with it will carry special protection, not harming the holder or friendly forces.]

[Sharp Jade: Weapons forged with it will be sharper.]

[...]

The properties of various materials were scanned thoroughly by the Insight Eye.

This helped Su Ming control them better.

Using this legendary skill to assist in forging allowed Su Ming to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

At this moment, he even felt more confident than those high-level blacksmiths.

Because even Fifth-Turn or Sixth-Turn blacksmiths probably wouldn't dare say they absolutely understood every material.

But Su Ming dared to say so.

So his success rate would also be higher!

Afterward, he began to combine and forge.

A phantom hammer appeared in his hand, condensed from Forging Power.

Holding this hammer, he combined and folded the steel materials.

Gradually fusing them with the Long Xiang broken sword.

This was already an extremely difficult job, not to mention Su Ming’s madness.

He actually wanted to fuse over twenty completely different types of steel together.

Fusing over twenty types of steel at once!

Even a Fifth-Turn blacksmith probably wouldn't dare to be so crazy.

But this was Su Ming’s personality.

Only with risk would there be a reward!

Sweat flowed down Su Ming’s forehead, his eyes grave, as he hammered down blow by blow.

"I want to retain the 'Broken Sword Edge' affix, because it’s very easy to use and handy."

"But the sharpness and controllability must be taken to the next level..."

"Pure fire attribute is a bit boring; why not guide a bit of the cold attribute from the Melt-Cold Alloy?"

Su Ming muttered, the prototype of his weapon already in his mind.

Finally, after spending a few days!

The blade began to take shape.

The sword embryo began to reflect cold light.

Su Ming felt victory was in sight.

But suddenly, the blade began to tremble violently.

Many red steel fluids began to burn spontaneously.

Su Ming’s mental energy was also about to be exhausted!

The Long Xiang broken sword flashed with two colors, one moment like ten-thousand-year black ice, the next like high-temperature molten lava.

"Not good, the materials are repelling each other, the properties are unstable!"

Su Ming’s eyes sharpened, his heart filled with alarm, and cold sweat broke out.

He had combined too many materials, and finally, a problem had arisen.

Fortunately, at this time, the Melt-Cold Alloy and Warm-Flame Heart-Protecting Iron stood out.

These two materials could protect the weapon and maintain stability.

But they couldn't hold on for too long.

Su Ming gritted his teeth and made a decision!

Extremely decisive!

He directly raised his hand and melted the black and white swords from his personal space into it!

[Black Ice Sword], [Ink-Fall Sword]!

Both were Platinum Mid-Grade weapons that Su Ming often used.

Su Ming liked these two swords very much!

But now, he had to sacrifice them.

These two weapons were a natural pair, possessing complementary properties.

Using these black and white swords as a sacrifice might stabilize the situation!

Sure enough, the previously restless Long Xiang broken sword gradually calmed down.

The cold currents and flame rays on it split, gradually flowing naturally to both sides without interfering with each other.

Another two days were spent.

Su Ming finally succeeded!

In the instant his mental energy and stamina were completely exhausted, he successfully upgraded the Long Xiang broken sword!

[Forging Successful!]

[Critical Hit Triggered!]

[Weapon Quality Limit Increased!]

[Forging Power Proficiency +700,000]

[Obtained Weapon: Frost-Flame Death-Mark Broken Sword (Diamond High-Grade)]

Su Ming’s eyes were slightly startled.

"Forging equipment can also trigger critical hits!"

"With high luck, it doesn't just increase critical hit rate in battle; life-classes can do it too!"
