"Me?"

Ye Bufan hesitated for a moment, then grasped the back of the sword and slowly picked it up.

"Just inject a little energy," Qin Sheng reminded him.

Ye Bufan nodded. As a little energy was injected into it, he felt a slight difference.

"Why?"

As if guided, the energy slowly filled the entire sword along certain trajectories, giving it a grayish-blue glow.

Its flickering appearance is just like when the Riftblade Beast was alive.

"This is…"

Although Zhang Xiande had not handled forging for many years, he knew that weapons forged by the Riftblade Beast rarely produced such a luster; only those forged by top-tier masters would emit this color.

But the materials themselves are all of Grandmaster level or higher!

He had never seen a weapon below the Grandmaster level that could produce such brilliance before!

Looking intently at the sword, he asked, "Xiao Fan, how much energy did you use?"

"Just a little bit." Ye Bufan didn't quite understand the intricacies of the matter.

The boost from weaponry is also related to energy; the more energy injected, the greater the boost, but there are limits.

But now the radiance emanating from this sword has surpassed the limits of a grandmaster's weapon!

"Just treat it like mowing the lawn, don't use too much force." Qin Sheng had absolute confidence.

"good."

Ye Bufan slowly brought the sword down on his family, as slowly as if he were petting a small animal.

But under the watchful eyes of the three, the soft armor was torn apart by the sword like paper, offering no resistance whatsoever.

"this…"

Zhang Xiande swallowed hard and stepped forward to reach out his hand.

"I'll do it!"

"Of course," Qin Sheng smiled.

After personally receiving and infusing the energy, he was able to better appreciate the terrifying nature of this weapon.

If such a small amount of energy injection has this power, how terrifying would the effects be if it were used in long-term combat or if the energy injection were increased?

As it glided through the soft armor, he felt no resistance whatsoever.

After a long silence, Zhang Xiande placed the sword back on the lab table and gave a bitter smile.

"You're right, your talent is even more terrifying than mine."

Although he no longer forges, as a former genius of Zhang-style forging, he will always harbor a sense of pride within him.

When Qin Sheng said he wanted to challenge Zhang Danyan, he didn't think he would succeed, assuming he would win the match in another way.

But now, Zhang Xiande sincerely admits that he is not as good as Qin Sheng.

Ye Bufan scratched his head, still not understanding the differences between the weapons.

Is this good?

Zhang Xiande shook his head: "It's not a question of whether it's good or bad."

"This is a weapon that is about to revolutionize the entire arms industry!"

Ye Bufan was taken aback, realizing just how incredibly valuable the gold content of the sword he had just taken was.

"Now Senior Zhang should be confident about the competition, right?" Qin Sheng said with a smile.

“You’re destroying Zhang Danyan,” Zhang Xiande said slowly.

Having suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of someone who had never even touched forging before, Zhang Xiande couldn't even imagine how Zhang Danyan's mental state would collapse at that moment.

"No need to thank me, I was just helping out a little."

Qin Sheng approached the sword: "However, I'm just doing research; I don't know how to add a suitable hilt to it."

Zhang Xiande nodded: "No problem, what do you need?"

"In terms of aesthetics, it's best if the color is close to its color, and the style should also match its appearance."

Zhang Xiande noted it down and nodded, saying, "Anything else?"

"If possible, we should avoid damaging the sword as a whole, as this would affect its power. Also..."

Qin Sheng kept making demands, while Zhang Xiande kept nodding in agreement.

At first glance, it seems like a relationship between a leader and a subordinate.

Looking at this scene, Ye Bufan noticed a pattern.

It seems that once you get involved with Qin Sheng, things will take a strange turn.

Senior, shouldn't you reflect on your own status and level of understanding?

Why does it seem like I've become a simp...?

"That's basically it, I think. It's doable."

"no problem."

Zhang Xiande was technically skilled. Although Qin Sheng had a lot of demands, he quickly came up with a rough idea in his mind.

"Then I'll go back and design a few plans first."

"Go."

Qin Sheng nodded and watched Zhang Xiande leave in a great hurry.

"Qin Sheng, classmate..."

Ye Bufan, who was standing nearby, had a chance to interject, looking a little embarrassed: "Could you make me a weapon?"

"Of course," Qin Sheng replied with a smile.

You are our Creation Cult's official tester. Although the living weapon has been designed, its performance in actual combat still needs to be tested.

That person is naturally our classmate Ye Bufan.

"Thank you!" Ye Bufan said sincerely, pressing his palms together.

This was a weapon that even Zhang Xuechang found astounding and captivating, and Ye Bufan couldn't help but be moved.

"I need to continue my research. If there's nothing else, Ye, you may leave now."

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

In the empty laboratory, Qin Sheng stared at the sword, lost in thought.

It was inevitable that living weapons would be exposed to the academy's sight, since Qin Sheng's purpose in coming here was to use the resources of the Kaitian Academy to build weapons.

After this competition with Zhang Danyan, someone will definitely come to inquire about this technology and try to acquire it.

However, he did not intend to hand this over to Kaitian City.

Don't overthink it, just refuse their request.

As a researcher, it's only natural to want to keep such core technology firmly in one's own hands.
