"Later, a friend of mine gave me an idea: still using an alloy." Huo Yuhao imagined how smug Xiao Yan must be at that moment, and couldn't help but sigh, his voice somewhat annoyed: "However, what we're fusing isn't the materials themselves, but their spirituality and energy."
At the point where the crystal touched the bone handle, a yellowish-brown light flickered intensely, as if it had come alive. Like living soil, guided by the Nine-Fold Ice Flame and Huo Yuhao's battle qi, it actively enveloped and permeated the bone handle. At the end of the bone handle, the two materials spontaneously fused together!
"The purpose of using flames is to accelerate the fusion of energy and spirituality," Huo Yuhao explained, "to integrate the essence of these two materials into one. Although they look different, they are essentially the same material. After that, we can inscribe sturdy spiritual runes on them, so there's no need to worry about it not being durable."
Within a few breaths, the light of the Nine-Fold Ice Flame dissipated. The bone handle and the crystal hammerhead were now connected! The connection wasn't abrupt, but rather a natural transition, as if the crystal had grown from the bone itself. The entire hammer was a single, seamless piece, radiating a warm and substantial aura, with no trace of any joining whatsoever!
"This—this is connected?" Yan Hao was dumbfounded.
Huo Yuhao did not answer. He withdrew the Nine-Fold Ice Flame, then took out a small bottle of viscous spiritual liquid that had been prepared beforehand and shimmered with pale golden light. He transformed his spiritual power into a carving knife, dipped it into the spiritual liquid, and began to inscribe intricate and profound golden patterns on various parts of the hammer.
As the final stroke was made, the hammer trembled slightly, emitting a strong earthy yellow light. Immediately, the spiritual patterns concealed, the light subsided, and it exuded a calm and weighty aura.
"Alright." Huo Yuhao handed the magical warhammer to Yan Hao. "Try it out and see if it suits your hand."
"For me?!" Yan Hao could hardly believe his ears.
He excitedly took it; it was heavy in his hand, yet fit his palm perfectly, as if a warm, gentle force was flowing through his arm and into his body.
"Hmm," Huo Yuhao nodded, "Perfect timing. Do me a favor and test its power. With your strength, plus this, you should be able to threaten a Dou Ling."
The words had barely left his mouth when Lin Xiuya's figure appeared precisely at the edge of the open space: "You are—"
"Old Lin! You've come at the right time! Take this!" Yan Hao was just worried about having no one to test his hammer, and when he saw Lin Xiuya, his fighting spirit ignited instantly! He roared and didn't give his opponent any time to react. His earth-attribute battle qi exploded and poured into his spiritual weapon hammer!
hum!
The spirit patterns on the hammer instantly lit up, radiating a brilliant earthen-yellow light! With the support of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Yan Hao felt as if the hammer in his hand had become lighter, and the flow of his own battle qi was smoother than ever before!
He stomped his foot, causing the ground to tremble slightly, and his entire body shot towards Lin Xiuya like a cannonball. The warhammer in his hand brought down with the force of a collapsing mountain, without any fancy moves!
The hammer wind howled, accompanied by the earth energy stirred up around it, creating a heavy sense of oppression!
Lin Xiuya's expression remained unchanged. He had mastered the newly acquired Earth-rank cultivation technique last night, and his strength had improved considerably. In addition, he had never lost a sparring match with Yan Hao.
Therefore, he was full of confidence. Facing this familiar yet fierce hammer blow, he drew his longsword, infused it with battle qi, and with a swirling blue light around the blade, he met it head-on with a skillful technique to deflect the force!
clang-!!!!
A deafening clang, ten times louder than when Yan Hao smashed the stone, erupted! A shockwave rippled through the air, dust billowed, and large swaths of grass were uprooted.
Lin Xiuya felt an overwhelming and unstoppable force surging through the sword! His exquisite technique of deflecting force seemed so fragile in the face of this pure and domineering power!
The longsword shattered instantly, and he was thrown backward by the shock, taking more than ten steps back after landing, each step leaving a deep footprint on the ground.
Yan Hao, however, remained firmly in place without swaying, though his hand holding the magical warhammer trembled slightly.
Won!
This was the first time Yan Hao hadn't suffered a loss at Lin Xiuya's hands!
"How is this possible?!" Lin Xiuya forced himself to steady himself, suppressing his boiling aura, his face filled with shock and disbelief. "I clearly—"
His gaze instantly locked onto the uniquely shaped warhammer in Yan Hao's hand, which emitted an earthy yellow glow.
Considering Huo Yuhao's earlier words to the vice dean about "weapon forging," and that earth-shattering hammer blow just now, the answer is obvious!
While Yan Hao was still excitedly rubbing his new weapon, Lin Xiuya moved like the wind, instantly closing in and striking with lightning speed, snatching the spirit weapon warhammer from Yan Hao's hand!
"Hey! Old Lin, what are you doing!" Yan Hao exclaimed anxiously.
Lin Xiuya ignored him and eagerly poured his fighting spirit into the hammer.
Buzz!
The magical warhammer once again shone with a thick, earthy yellow light, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rapidly gathered, clearly transmitting a sense of concentrated power into Lin Xiuya's hand!
"Huh? Old Lin doesn't have any resonance with the earth's energy—" Yan Hao stopped his hand, which was about to snatch it.
"Because the attributes don't match." Huo Yuhao took out another piece of beast bone: "It mainly relies on earth attribute enhancement runes to increase its power, while the class monitor's attribute is wind, so he can't fully activate this rune."
Han Yue also walked over, her beautiful eyes fixed on the hammer, then looking at Huo Yuhao. Her usually cool gaze was now filled with undisguised shock and burning anticipation. No words were needed; her longing was palpable.
Lin Xiuya took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and returned the bone jade hammer to Yan Hao, who was still jumping up and down. Then, together with Han Yue, they looked intently at Huo Yuhao and said in unison, their tone more solemn than ever before: "Yuhao!"
"Please forge a magical artifact for us too!"
"Whatever you need, we will do everything in our power to find it for you!"
Seeing the undisguised longing in their eyes, Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a gentle smile: "No need to trouble yourself. I was originally planning to make one for each of you anyway."
"Yuhao, thank you! If there's ever a chance in the future—"
"By the way!" Yan Hao suddenly leaned over and nudged Lin Xiuya aside: "Old Huo, you said before that spiritual weapons, like pills, have grades, so what grade is this warhammer?"
"Hmm...it's hard to say." Huo Yuhao hesitated. "My previous rating criteria were spirituality, power,..."
Usage conditions, etc. This time, because the materials were changed—this warhammer, in terms of its spiritual properties and usage conditions, is a third-grade weapon, but its power has reached the fourth-grade level—what I consider the threshold for a fourth-grade spiritual weapon.
"Let me study the matter of spirit weapon rating for a while longer before we talk about it."
"Class monitor, Han Yue, you both use swords, right?" Huo Yuhao took out some new materials, thought for a moment, and then took out two pieces of rare metal that were almost gone. He was preparing to forge magical weapons for them.
"Old Huo, why don't you give it a name?" Yan Hao's words were like opening Pandora's box.
Huo Yuhao stopped what he was doing and said with a hint of excitement, "I've decided to call it: The Roar in Stillness—The Hammer of the Earth!"
Everyone: "————"
Little Fairy Doctor sighed, "Since this hammer has already been given to the vice class monitor, let him name it!"
Yan Hao suddenly slapped his thigh: "Great! This one! It's so damn cool! I didn't expect you to be so good at naming things, Lao Huo! I've always thought my fighting technique 'Mountain and River Tremor' was too ordinary, Lao Huo, can you help me come up with another one?"
Everyone: "————"
