Chapter 120 This young man knows how to refine weapons?
One million!
Ye Feng's eyes twitched a few times. Is this how you rob someone?
He spent one million kill points to complete one of his weapon-refining techniques.
Is he sick?
He has magical artifacts and sacred artifacts in his spatial ring, so he is not lacking in equipment at all.
Just as he was about to refuse, the system beeped again.
[Ding! Friendly reminder! After completion, the tools you craft will also provide you with kill points when they kill exotic beasts!]
Ye Feng's fingers froze.
The tools he crafts can also provide him with kill points when he kills strange beasts.
He recalled his three thousand new soldiers, each carrying a weapon he had forged, and each contributing kill points to him for killing strange beasts.
If he could mass-produce magical artifacts and equip each member of his new army with one, he could collect kill points without even lifting a finger.
"Learn!" Ye Feng said resolutely in his heart.
"I'm a professional at weapon crafting! I have to learn!"
[Ding! The host previously stated that they are a martial artist.]
"That was before! Now I'm a weapon refiner! A prodigy of the human race."
"I must do what's necessary to contribute to the human race! I love weapon crafting!"
"I'm going to spend my kill points to complete my cultivation technique! I have kill points, I can do whatever I want!"
[Ding! The host's bottom line seems quite flexible.]
"That's called being flexible? That's called being a wise person who knows when to yield! Quick, deduct it!"
[Ding! 1,000,000 Kill Points consumed! The Three Hundred Chapters of Ancient Weapon Forging are now complete!]
[Ding! Host has obtained the complete version of the Seven-Colored Divine-Level Weapon Refining General Outline!]
Ye Feng's mind was instantly flooded with a massive amount of information.
The obscure and difficult knowledge of weapon crafting, and the complex and cumbersome spirit array diagrams.
The properties, origins, and processing methods of thousands of materials.
Everything flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.
He used to know nothing about weapon crafting, but now he felt like a veteran who had been crafting weapons for decades.
The systematic knowledge instilled in him gave him a theoretical foundation equivalent to decades of experience.
He learned the basic principles of weapon crafting.
It uses spiritual power as its soul, array diagrams as its flesh and blood, and materials as its skeleton.
However, this theoretical knowledge was not enough for him to actually start crafting weapons.
There is a chasm between theory and practice. Ye Feng needs to bridge this chasm through practical experience.
"System, consume kill points to increase proficiency in the Artifact Refining Principles."
[Ding! Consumed 50000 kill points, weapon crafting proficiency increased to 5%!]
[Ding! Host has completed the Introduction to the General Principles of Weapon Forging!]
Ye Feng closed his eyes, digesting the new knowledge that was flooding in.
His five percent proficiency level allowed him to go from "theoretical knowledge" to "a superficial understanding" of weapon crafting.
He knows how to train, but he's not proficient yet and needs more practice.
"continue."
[Ding! Consumed 150000 kill points, weapon crafting proficiency increased to 20%!]
[Ding! Host's General Principles of Weapon Refining - Minor Success!]
Ye Feng opened his eyes, a golden light flashing within them.
Twenty percent proficiency is enough.
What he lacks now is not knowledge or skills, but practical experience. But this experience doesn't necessarily have to be accumulated by him slowly; the system can provide it directly.
"System, how many kill points did you use up in one go?"
[Ding! Completing the technique consumes 1,000,000 points, increasing proficiency consumes 200,000 points, for a total of 1,200,000 points!]
One million two hundred thousand.
Ye Feng took a deep breath. He had earned nearly a million kill points in the battle of Haicheng and thought he had struck it rich.
In the blink of an eye, the system siphoned off 1.2 million.
Even his previous savings were completely spent.
But he didn't feel bad about it.
He knew it was all worth it.
That 1.2 million was well spent.
He completed the Seven-Colored Divine-Level Weapon Forging Guide, directly elevating his weapon forging skills from a novice to a master.
"Ye Feng?" Xiong Chumo's voice interrupted Ye Feng's thoughts.
"Are you alright? Why were you spacing out just now?"
"It's nothing," Ye Feng shook his head.
"Lord Xiong, the Eye of Exploration you mentioned is a low-grade spiritual artifact that can only be crafted using Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Crystal as the main material, supplemented with Void Stone and Star Sand, and inscribed with one hundred and eight spiritual arrays, right?"
Are you planning to repair Lord Cheng's eyes?
Xiong Chumo and Cheng Daxiong were both stunned.
The Eye of Exploration is a low-grade spiritual artifact, made primarily of Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Crystal, with Void Stone and Star Sand as auxiliary materials, and inscribed with one hundred and eight spiritual arrays.
These things are Xiong Chumo's teachers.
It took a seventh-level psychic master many years of research to figure it out.
Xiong Chumo never told anyone about this refining method, not even Cheng Daxiong knew the details.
How did Ye Feng know that? He spoke every word perfectly, even explaining the proportions of the materials and the number of spirit arrays, as if he had personally crafted it.
"How...how did you know?" Xiong Chumo's voice sounded somewhat unnatural.
Ye Feng did not answer.
He turned to look at Cheng Daxiong, at his scarred face, and then at his empty eye socket.
It was an eye that had been missing for a long time. The skin around the eye socket had healed, and new skin and flesh had grown.
"Old Xiong! You don't need to do this." Cheng Da Xiong waved his hand.
"It's just one eye, I'm used to it."
Xiong Chumo ignored him.
He looked at Cheng Daxiong's empty eye socket, remained silent for a while, and then slowly spoke.
"Brother Cheng, back in the southern mountains, you took that claw for me."
"That was the claw of a sixth-tier beast king! If it weren't for you, my head would have been smashed to pieces. You saved my life, so I'll forge an eye for you. What's there to say?"
"Unfortunately, my skills are not up to par. After so many years of refining, I still cannot refine the Eye of Exploration. Let alone a low-grade spiritual weapon, I cannot even refine an SSS-grade magic weapon."
"I'll do it," Ye Feng said casually.
Xiong Chumo was stunned: "You?"
"Ye Feng, you know how to forge weapons?" Cheng Daxiong asked.
"I just learned it."
"Just starting out?"
Ye Feng did not continue to explain.
Xiong Chumo and Cheng Daxiong exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with suspicion.
It's not that they don't believe Ye Feng, it's just that this whole thing is too outrageous.
They acknowledged Ye Feng's strength, but weapon crafting and combat are not the same thing.
It's already quite unusual for a fifth-tier martial artist to have such outstanding combat power.
However, he was exceptionally gifted, had abundant resources, received guidance from renowned teachers, and had many fortunate opportunities.
There's still a sliver of a possibility.
But weapons are different. Refining weapons requires accumulation, experience, and countless failures to hone them.
It's already quite remarkable that a nineteen-year-old can be so ridiculously strong in combat, and you're telling me he can also forge weapons?
And they want to refine spiritual artifacts right from the start?
Isn't this a complete fantasy?
Ye Feng could tell they didn't believe him, so he didn't say anything more.
He took out a set of S-grade telekinetic throwing knives from his spatial ring, which he had obtained through the military merit exchange system.
Twelve silver blades, each engraved with a simple spirit array, are considered among the finest psychic weapons.
He took out a few more pieces of material.
Starfall and pay-to-win.
This was seized from the spatial ring of the Heavenly Demon Clan; it's not some top-tier material.
However, he is more than capable of crafting telekinetic throwing knives of the spirit weapon level.
"Watch closely," Ye Feng said.
He closed his eyes, and his mental energy surged from his mind, enveloping the twelve telekinetic throwing knives.
The throwing knives, suspended in mid-air by his mental power, formed a circle.
The mental energy, like an invisible flame, began to scorch the blade of the throwing knife.
The first step is smelting.
The material of the telekinetic throwing knife was not bad, but it was not pure enough. Ye Feng's spiritual flames peeled away the impurities from the throwing knife bit by bit. Those impurities turned into black smoke under the high temperature and dissipated into the air.
The throwing knife was shrinking in size, but its texture was becoming denser. This process lasted about three minutes.
"Holy crap! You're really good! At least this first step of smelting has already reached the level of a grandmaster in weapon crafting!"
Even the bears were stunned.
He painstakingly studied weapon crafting for decades, but only barely reached the level of a weapon crafting master.
He's several levels below this young man.
Ye Feng remained silent and continued refining the weapon.
The second step is called fusion.
He poured stardust and kryptonite into his spiritual flames.
The two materials melted rapidly at high temperatures, turning into two clumps of liquid.
One black and one gold.
Ye Feng manipulated the two globs of liquid, evenly coating the surface of each throwing knife.
Black stardust adheres to the blade, forming a dense coating that increases the knife's hardness and toughness.
The golden kryptonite seeped into the interior of the blade, fusing with the original material and enhancing the energy conduction efficiency of the throwing knife. This process lasted approximately five minutes.
The third step is engraving.
It is also the most complicated step.
Ye Feng's spiritual power transformed into countless needles as thin as hair, engraving spirit arrays on the blades of each throwing knife.
What he carved was not a simple spirit array, but a seventy-two-linked array—arrays within arrays, all connected and interlocking.
Each spirit array requires extremely precise mental control; even the slightest deviation will cause the entire array to collapse.
Ye Feng's mental energy, under his control, was like a precise carving knife, moving along the blade of the flying knife.
He inscribed the first spirit array—the Sharpness Array—to enhance the sharpness of the throwing knives.
The second spirit array—the Armor-Piercing Array—increases the penetrating power of the throwing knives against shelled targets.
The third spirit array—the Swiftness Array—increases the speed at which the throwing knives travel through the air.
The fourth, the fifth, the sixth...
He discovered several flaws in the original design while inscribing the spirit array.
He corrected them without hesitation, like a seasoned craftsman who had been forging weapons for decades.
Xiong Chumo's eyes widened and his mouth opened wider and wider.
