Chapter 116: What Is He Refining?

Despite the ridicules of the crowd, Su Zimo remained expressionless. As if he had not heard anything, he walked straight to the Weapon Refinement Hall.
As he had spent three months on Array Peak and placed much effort into learning about sword formations, Su Zimo’s cultivation had not reached his expected Level 9 Qi Condensation.
But of course, there were still a couple more days before his final battle with Feng Haoyu.
If Su Zimo were to seize the chance to cultivate during the few days, he would have a chance to reach Level 9 Qi Condensation.
“Bro, good luck!”
Little fatty’s voice rang out from the crowd as he thumped his fist towards Su Zimo.
Smiling, Su Zimo nodded his head and entered the Weapon Refinement Hall.
During each Weapon Peak face-off, there were no disciples who could refine an inferior-grade spirit weapon.
Everyone refined pseudo spirit weapons. Because of that, they were judged based on quality and the time taken to complete.
Before long, many disciples were done with material selection.
Su Zimo was the only one still hovering around the spirit components thinking about something.
Now that he already had six flying swords, it would seem excessive to refine another one.
After much thought, he took a little of the different spirit components and headed back.
That action of his attracted the ridicule of many.
The more types of spirit components there were, the heavier the weapon created. If he was refining a flying sword, it would lose its advantage of being agile and it wouldn’t be worth it.”
“Is that Su Zimo stupid or what? Don’t tell me he’s trying to refine a huge hammer, right? Haha!”
“From the looks of it, it’s possible.”
“Don’t laugh. Who knows, he might be trying to refine a gigantic flying sword that would scare the hell out of you!”
There was a commotion outside the hall.
Even the disheveled old man frowned confusedly at what Su Zimo was doing.
The disciples headed back to their respective positions and took out their Weapon Tripods – they were all prepared.
With a wave of his hand, the disheveled old man said darkly, “Let the Weapon Peak face-off commence!”
The moment he said that, the hall was filled with flames.
Balls of spirit fire danced in the palms of many disciples, illuminating the hall in red. The crowd outside had quietened down too.
Among them, Feng Haoyu and Su Zimo’s Level 3 Spirit Fires were the most eye-catching.
Right after them was Xue Yi’s Level 2 Spirit Fire.
Second step of weapon refinement, tripod warming.
Almost at the same time, Feng Haoyu and Su Zimo were the first to be done with the tripod warming and insert their spirit components.
Both of their movements were extremely fluid – it was clear they had put in a lot of effort.
The five peak masters nodded approvingly.
The scarlet flames burned under their Weapon Tripods as the temperature within rose. Before long, the spirit components showed signs of melting.
Because Su Zimo had a wider mix of spirit components, his speed of smelting was evidently slower.
Even with a Level 3 Spirit Fire, Su Zimo had already fallen behind most of the disciples for this step.
After an hour, the liquid within Feng Haoyu’s tripod no longer reduced and he was done with the first smelting.
Within Su Zimo’s Weapon Tripod, the spirit components had only just started to melt. Burning scarlet red, they bubbled and impurities continued to be purged away.
Right then, Feng Haoyu’s advantage was obvious as he was far ahead of Su Zimo.
However, Su Zimo was in no rush. Unhurriedly, he looked at the spirit components within his tripod and constantly increased the temperature of his flames to purge as much impurities as possible.
By the time Feng Haoyu was done with forging and had started on tempering, Su Zimo was only just done with smelting – he was a full two steps behind!
The amount of spirit component liquid left in Su Zimo’s Weapon Tripod was significant. It was more than enough to refine a couple of flying swords, much less one.
Just what sort of a spirit weapon was he refining?
That question crossed everyone’s mind.
