377 Praise, Praise! (2/2)

”Alright, just give us a few minutes. I want to test a new Sword that I created in the testing field. Wanna tag along?”

Ruik didn't have anything better to do, so he just nodded and followed as well.

Krune, Ruik, and Wirenth only took a minute to arrive there. Since the Blacksmith Branch made lots of equipment daily, they obviously needed a place to make tests. So any Blacksmith Organization Branch always had a testing field nearby.

Krune then paid the fee for the use of the testing field, and Wirenth entered a Creation Formation. Although it was a Diamond Level one, its function was quite simple. It could create several forms that could resist attacks on a predetermined level. Krune then operated the Formation from outside, and soon, a Spiritual Energy Fake Boulder appeared in the center. Krune had adjusted the boulder to resist attacks at the 7th Stage of the Core Formation Realm.

Wirenth is only at the 5th Stage, but one has to calculate the power behind the skill and Sword he was using. Weapons were made to increase the cultivators and demon beasts' power, so it goes without saying that their attack would surpass what they would usually be able to do without them.

Wirenth assumed a sword stance and then charged forward. Wind and Fire Element gathered around Krune's Sword too. After Wirenth reached the full momentum, he used his skill.

”Hell Slash!”

Krune's Sword penetrated the Spiritual Energy fake boulder, and instantly, half of it was cut through.

Wirenth took a few steps back after that and took a deep breath.

”Phew... This is a good sword. Through the way my elements acted over it, I could say that it is on par with even some Four Silver Stars Swords. The fact that it is a Three Silver Stars Sword shows that it was very well made.”

Wirenth then looked at Krune and said.

”To be honest, I was a little in doubt about its prowess when I saw the few forging bumps on it, but I guess this is what one means to never judge a book by its cover.”

Krune smiled and was happy with the praise. Still, the test has not performed the way he wanted.

”Try it again. But this time, instead of only using your Spiritual Energy to gather the Wind and Fire Element, put some Spiritual Energy inside the Sword as well.”

Wirenth was confused by that. As far as he can see, this is just a normal Silver Stars Sword.

”Is it a Spiritual Equipment? A flying sword, perhaps?”

Krune shook his head.

”Nope. This is really just a normal Silver Stars Equipment. I did not use a Divine Imprint, so it is definitely not a Spiritual Equipment. It is just that I used something new during the forging process, so I want to see what it is capable of.”

Wirenth looked at the Sword. He had noticed the strange purple hue on it before, but he didn't pay much attention to it. But now, he thought that perhaps, it had something to do with this new forging process.

”Alright, leave it to me.”

Krune operated the Formation and created another Spiritual Energy Fake Boulder. Just like before, it was adjusted so that it could resist the attack of a 7th Stage Core Formation Realm cultivator or demon beast.

Wirenth took a deep breath and charged forward once more. He built his momentum and summoned the Wind and Fire element too. He decided that he would inject Spiritual Energy into the Sword the moment he was about to strike. That way, he wouldn't waste Spiritual Energy, which would help Krune to get a better evaluation of the Sword.

In a split of a second, Wirenth reached the boulder and injected Spiritual Energy into the Sword.

”Hell Slash!”

Suddenly, the Fire Element around his Sword changed color and became Purple!

Boulder? What Boulder? Wirenth felt like his slash went through butter instead! The boulder was instantly disintegrated by the Purple Flame! But that wasn't all, his Hell Slash continued forward and hit the Protection Formation of the area that he was using.

The Protection Formation adjusts to 3 Stages higher than the tester's cultivation. That means that it would be able to resist an attack at the 8th Stage of the Core Formation Realm, just like the boulder itself. Unfortunately... that wasn't enough...

Crash!

The protection formation was torn apart instantly too! Unfortunately, the protection Formation was connected with the Creation Formation as well...

Crack, crack, crack... Shatter!

The Diamond Stars Creation Formation... was gone as well...

Suddenly, Krune heard Ruik's voice behind him.

”I see, so you also learned how to destroy everything indirectly. Praise, praise!”

Krune's mouth twitched after hearing that.

'I wonder if Tiane would mind being a single mother.'
