Chapter 1669 - 1669: Crushing Battle
The surrounding people looked forward curiously.
In a competition between refining and forging masters, would it be a contest of words or of combat?
“Hehe, in the last match, Master Qi and Master Han had a verbal dispute, and Master Qi lost a Flowing Flame Armor.”
Qi Mingsheng looked at Han Muye, then turned to look at Ye Xun and Su Ji beside him. A smile flashed across his face. “This time, I suggest Master Han choose combat.’
With that, he paused, his words tinged with faint arrogance and provocation. “Of course, if Master Han isn’t confident, he can choose verbal dispute at will.
In the end, winning or losing isn’t that big of a deal.”
These words did not sound good at all.
Even though the disputes between refining and forging masters were not as important as the gambling matches between Puppet Masters and Armor Masters, where one’s fortune was at stake, losing in such a gambling match would still damage one’s reputation.
If a refining and forging master lost his good reputation, who would come looking for him?
Han Muye looked at the two refining and forging masters on the wall of the wooden stockade. His expression was calm as he said softly, “l choose combat.’
Combat!
The surrounding onlookers were overjoyed.
They were just watching the show. The bigger the commotion, the better.
A trace of surprise flashed across the face of the old man who had just spoken.
He scrutinized Han Muye intently, his expression slightly solemn.
“Grandpa, is this person overestimating himself, or does he really have the ability?” The girl was somewhat puzzled and whispered, “Is he so easily provoked into combat?”
The old man shook his head and said nothing.
On the wall, Ye Xun and Su Ji exchanged a glance, then flew down.
One of them tossed an hourglass, while the other scattered various spiritual materials in front of them.
“The rules of combat: six hours limit. Use spiritual materials to assemble an armor or a puppet.”
“All spiritual materials must be self-prepared.”
“The winner of the combat can collect all the spiritual material components from the loser.’
The rules had long been established, and Han Muye had heard of them.
When he heard Ye Xun shout, he only nodded slightly.
Ye Xun and Su Ji immediately started to work as soon as they descended.
A flame rose in front of each of them, followed by the appearance of iron sheets, large hammers, small files, polishing tools, and so on, creating a dazzling array.
The art of refining and forging in the Galaxy Universe was indeed more advanced than in other cultivation worlds, reaching the point where individuals could create endless possibilities.
Like the two level five or level six forging masters in front of them, with just a flame and various tools, they could forge powerful puppets and armor beyond imagination.
Of course, in today’s combat, the six-hour limit would force them to choose simpler methods.
“It’s obvious that forging master Ye Xun is crafting armor, while Master Su, a level six forging master, is probably crafting a puppet,” someone in the wooden stockade remarked.
The initial stages of crafting armor and puppets were different.
Armor usually started with forging the main body, such as breastplates, then covering them with armor plates.
Puppets required forging the skeleton first, then assembling various parts.
Although the final products, whether armor or puppets, had similar strengths, it was obvious that armor was easier than puppets within the time limit.
Su Ji was a level six forging master after all. He actually chose to forge such a
Battle Puppet in a martial arts competition.
It was obvious how confident he was in himself.
“l wonder what level of armor and puppet these two have chosen to craft?” someone curiously craned his neck to see.
Everyone was curious.
However, it was really difficult to tell.
“Clear fire, light iron, dark gold, and white copper. Ye Xun is crafting a level two armor,” the girl beside the white-haired old man, surprisingly knowledgeable about crafting, judged the crafting level just by looking at the flame and materials.
“Hehe, Master Su is crafting a level three puppet,” the old man beside her chuckled softly, whispering, “To craft a level three puppet within six hours is already the limit for a level six forging master.”
Without time constraints, a level six forging master could craft level seven armor or puppets.
With time constraints, even crafting them at half the level would be difficult.
“Why hasn’t Master Han made a move yet?”
“What level of armor or puppet is he going to craft?”
“Is he thinking of conceding voluntarily? He hasn’t started yet.”
On the wall, the onlookers began to discuss.
Indeed, up until now, Han Muye had not started refining.
He just watched the two in front of him start as he stood there without moving.
“Han kid, have you decided what to craft?” The voice of the Golden Bird sounded with a hint of curiosity.
“Yeah, how do you plan to win?” Chaos’s voice rang out, also tinged with curiosity.
They certainly didn’t doubt Han Muye’s ability to win.
They were just curious about how Han Muye would defeat them.
Would he crush them with higher-level armor or puppets, or would he stage a counter-attack with lower-level armor or puppets?
I’ve gained some insights into crafting puppets and armors recently. I’ll craft a level five puppet.”
A trace of determination appeared on Han Muye’s face as he muttered to himself.
Crafting a level five puppet would require a lot of effort just to forge the components using spiritual materials.
The higher the level of spiritual materials, the more difficult they were to forge.
Lower-level puppets and armor required fewer components and simpler carving of spiritual patterns.
On the contrary, higher-level puppets and armor required more complex processes, more components, and finer details.
It often took a long time to polish a high-level armor or puppet.
This was why many people’s armor and puppets needed decades or even centuries to gradually replace and upgrade various components..
