Chapters 159. Making the Peak Stage God Grade Armament.
Since this was not an official match, then Cao Tian Jun and the Prince of Zeming used his own materials to create an Intermediate stage Human Grade Armament.
The basic material of making weapons is high carbon steel which can maintain its sharpness and withstand damage. In addition, it can also be mixed with gold seeds or Obsidian Stone, and other materials depending on the condition and needs.
Besides being cheap and easy to find, the advantages of using high carbon steel are; strong tensile strength and durability. Excellent edge retention. High damage resistance.
Disadvantages; fragile under pressure. Requires careful care to prevent rust and corrosion. To overcome its shortcomings, it can be used materials such as gold seeds.
Prince Zeming issued common materials often used by Blacksmiths, namely high carbon steel and several grams of gold seeds.
However, the moment everyone saw Cao Tian Jun, they were perplexed at never seeing the materials he had ejected. But keep using high carbon steel and gold seeds as the base material.
Which made everyone curious because he did not know, he took out a strange-shaped stone that had light blue lightning fibers with star patterns. And, what he issued was one of the Natural Stones, the Strom Stone.
Natural Stone there are 14 types, as follows;
1) Strom Stone is light blue with star pattern.
2) Space Stone is dark blue with floral pattern.
3) Shadow Stone is orange with eye pattern.
4) Infinite Stone is yellow with horizontal figure eight pattern.
5) Elemental Stone is green with rhombus pattern.
6) Soul Stone is dark orange with three triangular patterns.
7) Gravity Stone is deep red with fiery eye pattern.
8) Time Stone is dark green with hourglass pattern.
9) Death Stone is fire red with two sickle pattern.
10) Star Stone is bluish white with arrow pattern.
11) Anger Stone is pink with fist pattern.
12) Blood Stone is blood red with a pattern of three drops of water.
13) Curse Stone is purple with fox head pattern.
14) Solid Stone is green leaf with triangle drawing.
Cao Tian Jun wanted to create a lightning element spear capable of unleashing a lightning strike. Using the Strom Stone, he did not have to bother looking for lightning to forge his spear, and also took time in the lightning quest.
"If you're ready, please start! Time limit of 2 sticks of incense. More than that, lose!" xue Li Xia said as a judge after seeing the two fighters had prepared the ingredients.
Prince Zeming immediately put high carbon steel into his furnace. Then he let out a fire that made everyone tremble in awe. His fire was the 3rd rank, the Yellow Flame.
He immediately smelted the high carbon steel with the Yellow Flame. While waiting for the steel to soften, he glanced at Cao Tian Jun. Prince Zeming and everyone were astonished to see Cao Tian Jun who was silent while looking at the furnace.
Unknown to anyone, Cao Tian Jun was thinking about what kind of weapon to make, and what kind of shape to draw the eye. After a moment of thought, he decided to make a sword.
Cao Tian Jun immediately put in all the sword-making materials, except the Strom Stone that would be used during the final stage. Prince Zeming smiled happily because his opponent only had a 2nd rank fire, which was the Orange Flame.
But to everyone's surprise, Cao Tian Jun easily and quickly melted high carbon steel and gold together. Then, after the material became liquid, he took out a flame-retardant steel mold, and put the high-carbon steel liquid and the gold into the mold.
In order for the liquid to quickly solidify before it was forged, Cao Tian Jun unleashed his ability in controlling the ice element. Once again everyone and Prince Zeming were astonished to see it, as it was rare for anyone to have two opposing elements.
Cao Tian Jun did not care about their facial expressions, he controlled the ice element to cool the fire-resistant steel mold. After the liquid became solid, he took out a hammer and beat up the mixed materials.
The sound of a loud object makes the ears ring. He continued to beat up the high carbon steel mixed with gold until it became thin and solid. His movements were extremely fast, his skill was not like that of a Master-level Iron Clever, but more than that.
Prince Zeming increased the hot temperature of the Yellow Flame in order to more quickly melt the high carbon steel, he had lost in the two stages of the forging process.
As for Cao Tian Jun, it immediately heated up the sword material. After smoldering, he immediately went back to beating the entire piece of steel to make it even thinner, as well as shaping it. At present, the material becomes long, the length reaches 100 cm, with a blade width of 8 cm, and the thickness of the middle of the blade reaches 2 cm. He reheated the sword material when it was cold.
Patriarch Fang only let out a heavy sigh because he already knew the result, because he knew that Prince Zeming's opponent was an Iron Clever Fairy Continent-level expert, he knew, and that was seen from how to process the materials of the Human Grade Armament manufacture.
"I didn't expect there to still be super geniuses in this world," said Patriarch Fang who had not expected there to be a younger generation besides Cao Tian Jun who was more genius.
According to the information from Fang Guotin known to Patriarch Fang, other than a genius in the cultivation base, Cao Tian Jun was a Grandmaster-level Alchemist. Unfortunately, that Infomation was extremely inaccurate since Fang Guotin had never seen Cao Tian Jun make a pill when Fang Yin was still in the Eastern Continent.
Although Cao Tian Jun was considered a Grandmaster-level Alchemist, it was already an extremely outstanding achievement at his age. Moreover, in terms of cultivation base, the younger generation in the Moon Twins Continent was no match for him.
Time had passed for more than one incense stick. Xue Li Xia, Fang Yin and Xue Delun Hai observed Cao Tian Jun's process of making swords. Prince Zeming who was originally left behind, had now turned things around, he had managed to form steel and gold materials into a sword, and stayed the final stage.
Emperor Yao who was originally tensed due to the ability of his unexpected opponent, he was able to smile as his son was in the process of the final stage of making Armament Grade Human.
Since many of the spectators were not Iron-Savvy experts, they had no idea what Cao Tian Jun had actually done, he could have completed the Human Grade Armament quickly, he said, but it is not done because it wants to make higher rankings according to the time limit.
The ones who knew the way Cao Tian Jun forged were Xue Li Xia and Xue Delun Hai. As for Fang Yin, he had always been well informed by Fang Guotin who was also observing Cao Tian Jun.
Inwardly, Fang Yin was extremely pleased that Prince Zeming was defeated. However, the big question was, Cao Tian Jun would make a weapon at what rank, whether slightly superior to Prince Zeming or further.
"I'm done," Prince Zeming said as he opened the lid of his furnace.
He had made the Human Grade Armament in a time when it was still less than half a stick of incense before it ended. He glanced towards Cao Tian Jun who was still just starting the final stage process.
Xue Li Xia immediately inspected the furnace. His right hand was clad in ice element before picking up the sword inside the furnace. He was holding a sword hilt that was emitting white smoke from the heat.
He immediately took out a special iron beam-shaped weapon quality gauge, 60 cm high, and placed it in the sand. Then, he stuck the tip of the sword in the iron beam hole.
On the surface of the iron beam appeared the description of the Human Grade Armament made by Prince Zeming.
"Armament Grade Human stage is low, weapon quality reaches 65% in less than two sticks of incense!" Xue Li Xia read out the results of her examination.
Emperor Yao immediately applauded as a form of appreciation for his son that made him proud, then followed by everyone, except the Dao Empire side that was still tense seeing Cao Tian Jun had yet to finish this match, which was not finished yet, and time is almost up.
Although the result was lower than the rank of an intermediate stage Master, Prince Zeming was still counted as successful due to the time constraints. He suppressed his excitement while looking at Fang Yin who was staring at Cao Tian Jun.
Cao Tian Jun inserted the Strom Stone into the already existing furnace of forged swords. Then, he let out a White Flame without a trace of anyone, everyone only seeing an Orange Flame.
Cedarrr...
The sound of lightning boomed loudly inside the furnace. The contact made everyone clearly startled and looked towards the furnace. Inside the furnace was seen through the holes, there were lightning fibers enveloping the sword.
Cao Tian Jun's furnace trembled violently every time the lightning inside struck. Everyone finally knew that the strange stone was causing the sound of lightning.
Xue Li Xia and Prince Zeming immediately walked out of the arena as Cao Tian Jun's furnace was about to explode. So too with everyone outside the arena.
Booms...
Finally everyone's guess became real, the furnace exploded. However, all of that was astonished when he saw the sword hovering in front of Cao Tian Jun. The sword was blue in color and emitted lightning fibers.
"Armament Grade God Peak Stage. This sword I named the Blue Lightning Sword," Cao Tian Jun said as he held tightly onto the hilt of his sword.
He flew into the sky 500 meters high, then swung the Blue Lightning Sword many times in the direction towards the Wall Moon Array Formation.
Boom boom...
The barrage of energy explosion sounds as well as lightning when it was hit by the blade of the Blue Lightning Sword. To everyone's surprise, the Wall Moon Array Formation's energy wall trembled, and slowly faded away, but only for a moment.
Prince Zeming and Emperor Yao instantly limped as his opponent was far superior. Without checking the quality of that sword, everyone had already known it just by looking at the prowess of the Blue Lightning Sword.
Cao Tian Jun landed in the middle of the match arena after testing his sword. Behind his mask, he smiled with satisfaction at the expression of his helpless enemy.
"Do you need to be checked?" cao Tian Jun asked Xue Li Xia.
Xue Li Xia looked at Cao Tian Jun with admiration. He replied, "no need! Superior level only you've won!"
And everyone nodded in agreement that Cao Tian Jun was the winner. Prince Lin Gan laughed as he clapped his hands as the Dao Dynasty was finally able to win this match, all of his supporters also clapped as a form of appreciation towards Cao Tian Jun.
