His brow furrowed, and he waved his hand dismissively without a second thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not doing it. Tell them to leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some genius...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my entire life, the one thing I despise most are these so-called geniuses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snorted, his words filled with undisguised contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Ouyang...\" Fang Yuan tried to persuade him further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Meng, with his hot temper flaring, was about to argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ouyang Ye abruptly raised a hand, silencing everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sharp, hawk-like eyes locked onto Lin Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, let me ask you something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want a weapon. What do you plan to use it for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an undeniable, oppressive weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuan’s expression changed, and he opened his mouth to give Lin Ye a reminder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a single glare from Ouyang Ye forced Fang Yuan to swallow the words on the tip of his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye met Ouyang Ye’s cold gaze, his expression unchanging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a hint of hesitation or thought, two words left his lips almost instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To kill enemies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouyang Ye was taken aback for a moment, then his anger turned into laughter filled with ridicule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill enemies? HAHAHA!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A wet-behind-the-ears brat like you dares to speak of killing enemies? What enemies have you ever killed?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your so-called ’battles’ are nothing more than aggressive sparring matches against other so-called geniuses in an arena!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The weapons I forge are lethal instruments, tools of slaughter! They’re not toys for little brats like you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You people only bring shame to the lifeblood of every craftsman!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Ouyang Ye’s roaring and questioning, Lin Ye’s expression became more serious than ever before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the old man before him and said, word by word,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To date, I have broken over fifteen high-strength alloy staffs and gone through six standard-issue spears.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have killed mutated beasts by the thousands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I have personally killed two members of the Celestial Abyss Race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was not a single lie in Lin Ye’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke with a clear conscience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant his voice fell, an icy, condensed aura erupted from Lin Ye without reservation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a killing intent that could only be cultivated by hands truly stained with vast amounts of blood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the courtyard, the two young men swinging their hammers suddenly froze. The backs of their necks grew cold as a chill shot up from the soles of their feet to the crowns of their heads, and their limbs turned to ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuan’s face turned deathly pale, and he subconsciously took half a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Chen Meng, standing right beside Lin Ye, was somewhat stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouyang Ye’s eyes suddenly narrowed to a slit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he became famous, Ouyang Ye had also been a logistics weaponsmith who had retired from the front lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he hated most in his life was when the weapons he poured his heart and soul into creating fell into the hands of those so-called geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a weapon he had poured his heart and soul into forging could not drink the blood of other races or defend the lands of humanity, but instead became a status symbol for those people to show off with, eventually decaying into scrap iron—that was an unbearable, humiliating disgrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his life, he had seen countless people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had lost count of the number of Martial Artists who had come to his door, asking him to forge a weapon, using all sorts of reasons to claim they were different from the rest. He had seen far too many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could tell whether they were being insincere or truly genuine with just a single glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The condensed, almost tangible aura of slaughter emanating from Lin Ye was no act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a sharpness that could only be tempered by truly experiencing life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouyang Ye’s attitude softened considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved for his two apprentices to continue their work, then walked over to a shady spot. With his hands behind his back, his words still carried a chill that kept others at a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Benzoin’s top-of-the-line spears currently come in two main series: the Dragon Fang series and the Flowing Wind series.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Dragon Fang series is suited for aggressive, assault-type Martial Artists, while the Flowing Wind series is for balanced, steady-type Martial Artists.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both main series are mass-produced based on my early craftsmanship. After years of improvements, the related techniques are now very mature.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You could say there’s almost no difference between them and one I’ve forged personally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can just go to Benzoin’s flagship store and pick a top-tier version from either series. There’s no need to seek out an old man like me with one foot in the grave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I sealed my forge many years ago. I’m out of practice now. It’s possible that whatever I make wouldn’t even be as good as the mass-produced ones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The excuse was flawless. For a moment, even Fang Yuan was at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye thought for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked to the weapon rack in the corner of the courtyard, his gaze sweeping over it before casually pulling out the most ordinary training spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the spear’s shaft was in his hand, his entire aura changed abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and the spear became one, as if he were born to wield it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Ouyang Ye became even more certain that the young man before him had not uttered a single boastful word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, to everyone’s astonishment, a magnificent amethyst hue, like a living creature, began to spread across the unremarkable spear in Lin Ye’s hand, creeping slowly from his grip toward the tip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the entire spear was completely covered by a layer of translucent, glass-like purple crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the red glow of the forge fire, it reflected a bewitching and dangerous light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Ye... you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Meng’s eyes went wide as saucers, and his breath caught for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, an irrepressible joy surged through him, and his voice trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this... Is this the Martial Arts Spirituality you’ve awakened?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew there was no longer any need to hide it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew better than anyone just how immense a boost a truly suitable weapon would be to his combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to experience the frustration of being at a disadvantage because of his weapon a second time.\u003C\u002Fp>",1097,"2026-06-06T10:31:47.882Z",1,"novelbin.me","6f5d7ff7a982afde02f3d5d3bf19b8b38beab5bf76fb50fee1ad0444ecfd7500","how-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-chapter-176","how-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-chapter-174",250,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-cover.jpg"]
