Chapter 97

Xu Chen clenched his fists, instantly overjoyed as he exclaimed.

His original goal was a Fifth Grade Consummation Stage physique and a Sixth Grade Initial Stage realm. Unexpectedly, it was now a Sixth Grade Initial Stage physique and a Sixth Grade Middle Stage realm.

He twisted his neck again, and his body emitted a series of crackling sounds... Seeing this, the two women beside him were instantly gratified; he had grown stronger.

This greatly reduced the probability of Xu Chen being bullied.

If he could advance to Sixth Grade Late Stage before going out, that would be even better. Xu Chen loosened his muscles and bones, finding that the Huo Qilin beside him was not yet ready.

"She probably needs about two more days to fully stabilize her realm," Gongsun Liuli said.

"In that case, I will refine some weapons." In his past life, he was a mighty Immortal Emperor, proficient in all arts.

The knowledge of a mere Artifact Refiner was constantly filling his mind.

An Artifact Refiner does not need Flame; they only need Spiritual Qi to temper Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures, forging them into the shape of weapons.

Fortunately, now that he had advanced to Sixth Grade Middle Stage, the density of his Spiritual Qi was extraordinary, sufficient for refining.

Xi and Gongsun Liuli were stunned: "You also know how to refine weapons?"

They remembered that Xu Chen did not know this in his past life.

Xu Chen nodded: "I learned it in my spare time. Is there a problem?"

The two women explained: "No problem at all. It is even better if you can refine weapons."

They were even more gratified; they also knew that the plot of this life had gone wrong.

They just never expected that it would lead Xu Chen to develop in a positive direction.

For a moment, they were deeply moved inside.

"Mm, continue to guard my cultivation for me."

Xu Chen replied indifferently, then began refining the weapons.

With this several dozen jin of Xuanling Shen Yu, he wanted to forge a set of battle armor capable of both offense and defense.

That Shen Yu armor which could cover his body at any time and be summoned with a single thought.

This was far more practical than simple swords and such.

For the final product, he envisioned something similar to Iron Man's armor.

The only difference was that Iron Man's was technology, while his was the method of refining, controlling the armor with Divine Sense.

The two women nodded: "Rest assured."

"Voom!"

Xu Chen began to employ the most formidable techniques of an Artifact Refiner, starting to temper the Xuanling Shen Yu.

He estimated that it would only take him three days to integrate the Shen Yu into his own body, transforming it into armor.

Roughly two days later, a crystal-clear set of armor had already taken shape, faintly emitting a Sixth Grade aura.

If tempered for one more day, the aura could reach Seventh Grade, and the armor's defensive power would also be comparable to Seventh Grade.

At this moment, the armor slowly rotated before Xu Chen, including parts for the head, limbs, and so on.

At the palms, there were sharp Shen Yu daggers that could extend and retract at will to launch attacks.

Even if not fully formed, the armor could already integrate into Xu Chen's body, capable of both offense and defense.

The two women secretly marveled at such a high-level refining technique, able to refine Shen Yu to this extent.

If this set of Shen Yu armor were to be spread abroad, it would likely trigger a scramble among Seventh Grade experts.

"Give me a little more time, and this armor will be perfect."

Xu Chen said, also satisfied.

The two women were also happy for Xu Chen; once this armor appeared, it would surely possess Seventh Grade defensive power.

However, at this moment, what neither Xu Chen nor the two women could have expected was that a cold sneer suddenly rang out: "Give you one more day? Do you think that's possible?"

The two women's faces changed slightly, and they turned to scold: "Who is it?"

They vaguely felt something was amiss.

The opponent chose to strike at this time; could they have spotted the opportunity? But why had they not sensed it?
