Chapter 240 - 158: Flame Crystal Battle Armor, Two-ton Transcendent War Halberd_3
Upon seeing Jack Clark exchange so many transcendent materials at once, the seniors queuing behind to exchange resources inevitably turned their gazes over.
A female student exclaimed in surprise, “Junior, are you not afraid of failure while exchanging so many main materials for your first time crafting a Transcendent Weapon?”
They had overheard the previous conversation between Jack Clark and Jane Aiken, and thus knew that it was his first attempt at crafting a Transcendent Weapon.
Normally, when a freshman tries to create a Transcendent Weapon for the first time, they would limit their contribution to around 100 points for success rate and material fusion quality.
Having more materials fused into a transcendent weapon doesn’t necessarily make it better. If the process lacks proper organization, it is impossible to maximize the characteristics of these materials.
Jack Clark responded with a slight smile, “I intend to craft a transcendent weapon and a battle armor individually with these materials. Melting two types at once should be fine.”
The female student suddenly realized: “So, that’s the case.”
Having exchanged the materials, Jack Clark proceeded to the Cultivation Area to reserve a solid Cultivation Room and closed the heavy door.
The Eight Desolate Battle Halberd, the enhanced combat knife, the human head-sized Prison Mine Stone, and a huge chunk of Cloud Mountain Steel.
Compared to the heavy attribute from the Prison Mine Stone, Cloud Mountain Steel possesses exceptional solidity as well as energy conductivity.
Fusion can greatly enhance the solidity of the Halberd.
By that time, even if his true strength were to be exhausted, Jack can still fight fiercely with the Halberd using just the formidable power of his own body, without the weapon being damaged and his battle strength significantly dropping due to the exhaustion of his true strength.
After pulling out the various materials from the Sumeru Bracelet and piling them together, Jack Clark prepared to start crafting. He held onto the tail tip of the Eight Desolate War Halberd, and a voice resonated in his mind.
“Consume 50 attribute points to enhance the Halberd.”
As Jack Clark’s voice fell, the 148 free attribute points on his attribute page instantaneously dropped to 98.
A surge of milky white power immediately covered the Halberd, the combat knife, and the ore, trailing down from Jack’s hand.
Under the illumination of the white halo, the combat knife was the first to melt, covering the Eight Desolate Battle Halberd like liquid metal, followed by the dense Prison Mine Stone, silently turning into countless powders.
Once the powder of the Prison Mine Stone and the liquid metal of the combat knife covered the Halberd evenly, the chunk of Cloud Mountain Steel slowly began to melt….
Compared to the Weapon Casting Secret Skill, which uses Spirit Qi to ignite True Strength and leverage one’s blood to smelt Transcendent Materials, Jack Clark’s process of crafting a Transcendent Weapon was much simpler.
Once the combat knife and the materials completely coated the Eight Desolate War Halberd, a series of transparent words appeared before Jack Clark’s eyes.
“Please infuse a drop of blood containing vital spirit and will to brand the transcendent weapon with the host’s imprint.”
“…Still need to use blood?” Jack paused briefly, then, using the True Strength flowing from the tip of his left index finger, forcefully made a small cut on the right hand’s middle finger.
There was some difficulty in cutting through the finger, forming a tiny wound. Subsequently, Jack circulated his Qi-blood throughout his body to gradually form a drop of radiant red blood, which began to drip down.
Plop! The drop of blood fell onto the halberd and was absorbed within the blink of an eye. Jack instantly felt a subtle connection link between himself and the Halberd.
Under Jack Clark’s unconscious intention, the words “Eight Desolate” gradually emerged at the front end of the handle of the Halberd, which was currently being fused.
Humm!
Accompanying the inscription of the name, the halberd emitted a faint hum. Amidst the swirl of black-red radiance, a heavy aura began to emanate from the Halberd.
Succeed in crafting!
Simultaneously, a string of transparent words appeared before Jack Clark.
“Solidity +10, Sharpness +10. A low-level Transcendent Weapon with ‘Heavy’ and ‘Hard’ attributes, weighing 2 tons, with a good level of Energy Conductivity.”
A good craftsman must first sharpen his tools.After spending 190 contribution points on resources, the creation of the Transcendent Weapon, the Eight Desolate Battle Halberd, did not disappoint Jack Clark.
While it continued to be dark in appearance, the golden patterns coiled on the pole became tighter and more compact like dragon scales.
The blade edge and both sides became sharper, faintly radiating a white glow. The invisible, sharp aura ripples unfolded, slicing through the air.
Furthermore, the halberd pulsed with a hard-to-notice black-gold radiance, bestowing it with majesty and dominance.
Jack Clark reached out and grabbed the halberd, lightly lifting it.
Under his tremendous strength that could lift up to 26 tons, lifting the two-ton Battle Halberd felt as easy as a normal person gripping a ten-kilogram weapon.
Of course, this is just a simple comparison.
Even now, if Jack Clark wanted to swing the Eight Desolate Battle Halberd with all his strength, he still needed to burst a part of his True Strength to amplify it.
Such as at this moment.
His True Strength flowed into the halberd’s handle and filled him with a sense of smoothness. There was absolutely no surface skimming sensation like before.
The Eight Desolate Battle Halberd, embedded with his heart’s blood, felt like the extension of his arm, entirely integrated.
Hum!
Atop the Eight Desolate Battle Halberd, black-red light surged. The invisible, sharp aura emitting from it even cut through the robust floor, leaving cracks behind.
Just the sheer force conveyed through the halberd increased its power by ten percent, not only making it sharper but also reducing the depletion of his True Strength considerably.
But these are just the basic capabilities of a Transcendent Weapon.
Then, Jack Clark swung it with a sudden burst of strength. Wind roared inside the cultivation room in an instant.
The entire room’s air was disturbed by the invisible heavy aura radiating from the halberd, and the air in front of the halberd even created a strong gust due to compression.
Boom!
The whole cultivation room was shaken by Jack Clark’s nonchalant swing, forming a four-meter-long, ten-centimeter-wide black plane in the air.
It was a vacuum formed by an instantaneous explosion of air, and under the influence of the heavy power, it lasted for a long time.
At the same time, the fierce wind swept across the whole training room, and the violent turbulence of the air caused an alarming resonance.
Such a formidable power even made Jack Clark excited, making him nod in satisfaction and exclaim, “This is the power that a Transcendent Weapon should have.”
The successfully refined Eight Desolate Battle Halberd could almost bring his strength to its utmost limit.
After becoming vaguely familiar with his new weapon, Jack Clark put it away. He then took out his cleaned battle armor, placing Wind Spirit Steel and Blazing Crystal Mine together.
This time, Jack Clark is prepared to refine both the Transcendent Weapon and battle armor at once.
For a cultivator, a set of powerful Transcendent battle armor could serve as a second life. It could not only greatly amplify the True Strength Defense, but also possess some special abilities.
For instance, the Wind Spirit Steel Jack Clark exchanged, despite having energy conductivity, was very strong. It also came with an air recirculation purification feature.
This ability was extremely useful in places filled with poisonous gas. It could even allow Jack Clark to breathe underwater for a short time.
The Blazing Crystal Mine, True to its name, came with extremely high temperature properties. Once infused into the battle armor, the protective True Strength that penetrates the body would carry extreme heat.
This feature is primarily used to deal with defenses that have poisonous gas and hallucinogenic energy attacks, forming a double layer of protection with the Wind Spirit Steel.
Of course, the two materials cost only 100 contribution points, so the manufactured Transcendent Battle Armor could be said to be reasonably strong..
