Chapter 705: Semi-Divine Weapon
Han Fei shook his head, wondering when Guan Qingyan became so reckless. He was the man who proposed the idea of array combination!
Han Fei smiled bitterly and said, “You may find it hard to believe, but the way is to set up the array while you craft an ultra-quality spiritual weapon.”
Things would be completely different if the arrays were set up after a spiritual weapon was made.
Guan Qingyan asked, “Have you already tried it? How did it go?”
“The array master that you found set up the array independently and didn’t explain it to you, right?”
Guan Qingyan’s expression slightly changed. “Thank you for your enlightenment. That’s true.”
Bei Huo was confused. “It doesn’t work? Why not?”
Han Fei replied, “You need to understand the material features of the spiritual weapon if you carve the arrays after it’s made. You have to adjust your force and method with your senses during the carving. So, an array master can carve arrays on the weapon, but we can’t copy them.”
Guan Qingyan asked earnestly, “Have you come up with a solution, Brother Han?”
Han Fei waved his hand. “We may have to study arrays. Also, the smaller a weapon is, the more difficult it will be to carve arrays on it. It’s easy to work on a broad shield, but not so on a sword.”
Guan Qingyan nodded. “Naturally.”
But Mu Jia’er suddenly said, “Can’t we create a combined interconnected array with ultimate materials and then fuse it into the weapon through the Spirit Forging Technique? Isn’t it possible?”
Han Fei was quite refreshed. “Shoot! That’s really an idea. Why didn’t it occur to me sooner?”
Guan Qingyan shivered too. “I think this might work.”
Bei Huo and the other two five-star refiners instantly changed their expression and looked at each other.
Those young people deserved to be called genius refiners! Other people couldn’t have thought from that point of view at all.
Building an invisible array with visible materials was truly a groundbreaking idea.
Bei Huo suddenly rose. “Okay, everybody. The meeting is over. We’ll run experiments and inform you of the results later. Time to go…”
Instantly, a refiner asked, “Master Bei Huo, are you going to do the experiments now? Can we stay and observe?”
Before Bei Huo said anything, the oldest refiner had already started scolding him, “You will only be annoyances to the experimenters. If it works, you will be informed later.”
Han Fei was quite stunned. “Huh? Aren’t we supposed to be having a lecture here? Is it over?”
Bei Huo looked at Han Fei casually. “It was long over. We didn’t discuss the way of making semi-divine weapons until it was over!”
Han Fei: “…”
It was not until everybody dispersed that Bei Huo finally asked, “Han Fei, weren’t you out on a mission? Why are you back so quickly?”
“My mission is over. I came as fast as I could when I was told that a meeting was being held here.”
Bei Huo introduced him, “Since you’re here, let me introduce you. This is Li Feiyun, a five-star refiner from the Refining Hall of the Scattered Stars City.”
Han Fei crossed his hands. “It’s an honor to meet you, senior.”
The middle-aged man next to Bei Huo nodded at Han Fei casually. “You are a creative young man. Good.”
Bei Huo continued, “This is Wang Xu, a five-star refiner who supervises all the four Refining Halls. He’s also my teacher.”
“Nice to meet you, sir.”
Stroking his beard, Wang Xu said, “I’m told that you became a three-star refiner from a rookie in only one month. You’re truly talented. If you can solve the problem of semi-divine weapons, it will be a great accomplishment. Work on it.”
Han Fei was suddenly suspicious. “Seniors, wouldn’t it be faster and more efficient if you work on the experiments yourselves?”
Bei Huo shook his head. “As a matter of fact, we’re already able to refine semi-divine weapons, but even if we can, it’s only because we have good materials and sealed souls, so it’s not really a breakthrough. There are few five-star refiners on the Scattered Stars Island, and we can’t teach the three-star refiners our methods, which they won’t be able to put into practice.”
Wang Xu nodded. “That’s right. You, the young people, need to work on this. If you can work out a solution, most three-star refiners will be able to do the same.”
Li Feiyun also responded, “Let’s just wait for the results. Bei Huo, those people are all your subordinates, so we’ll leave it to you.”
Bei Huo nodded with a smile and walked them out.
Mu Jia’er, however, said, “Liar, I was told that you went to the sea. Did you fight anything? Like last time?”
Han Fei was lost for words. “Stop calling me a liar. Have I ever lied to you?”
Mu Jia’er puffed out her cheeks. “As your senior sister, I can call you whatever I want.”
Having no time to bother her, Han Fei looked at Guan Qingyan. “Old Guan, when did you craft this semi-divine weapon? Good for you!”
Guan Qingyan casually shook his head. “I didn’t craft a semi-divine weapon; it didn’t become a semi-divine weapon until the arrays were carved on it.”
Bei Huo came back in and looked at Han Fei with a weird look. “Are you really here for the lecture?”
Han Fei grinned. “Oh! Right, I’ve also got a weapon.”
After that, Han Fei took out a golden harpoon and knocked it to the ground. Instantly, airwaves were spreading out.
As a matter of fact, Han Fei had another battle suit and a harpoon. But nobody knew it and he certainly wouldn’t confess to it.
Mu Jia’er exclaimed, “Ah! Is this a semi-divine weapon that the Half-Mermaid Heavenly Talents use?”
Guan Qingyan approached it too. “Did you loot a semi-divine weapon?”
For a moment, Guan Qingyan and Mu Jia’er’s attention were fixed on Han Fei’s golden harpoon.
For some reason, no data popped up in Han Fei’s eyes, so he could not see the information of this weapon.
The semi-divine weapon was truly a semi-divine weapon, but he realized in the battle that he could manage to block this weapon when he used his full strength.
Han Fei’s first idea was that the semi-divine weapon was not something that a Hanging Fisher could use at free will.
Therefore, it wasn’t very powerful in the hands of the Half-Mermaids.
Otherwise, it would’ve been terrifying if it were only one hundredth as powerful as a Sea Quelling Bizarre Treasure.
Bei Huo said, “It’s truly a weapon from the sea. It’s the sea demons’ standard semi-divine weapon!”
The three of them instantly looked at Bei Huo. Guan Qingyan asked, “Standard? Can this weapon be manufactured? This weapon is truly powerful, but the Half-Mermaids couldn’t have carried out its full power, could they?”
Bei Huo nodded. “I think it can be manufactured! We’ve actually looted a lot of golden battle suits and harpoons. At first, we thought they were divine equipment, but after careful studies, we found that they weren’t divine equipment but only semi-divine. All of them were constructed in the same way. It means that the sea demons are capable of bulk producing semi-divine weapons.”
“Bulk producing?”
Bei Huo smiled. “They’re still powerful semi-divine weapons even if they were bulk produced. After all, they are already better than the best ultra-quality spiritual weapons, although they are not as good as the low-quality Divine Weapons.”
Han Fei thought for a moment and realized that the Overlord was exactly a semi-divine weapon! He had stolen Mu Jia’er’s idea, made use of Old Jiang’s way of drawing arrays, and sealed the Blood Fiend Octopus, thereby making the Overlord a literal semi-divine weapon. It was also one of Han Fei’s most important trump cards.
Han Fei heaved a sigh. “If only we could find out how to bulk produce them. Otherwise, we can only loot more if we want to use them.”
Guan Qingyan said, “They’re not readily usable. You have to reproduce them.”
Han Fei was stunned. “Why? Aren’t they semi-divine weapons?”
Mu Jia’er laughed. “They’re the sea demons’ weapons anyway. They were made in a completely different way. Also, those weapons require not just spiritual energy but also demonic Qi. How can you use them without demonic Qi?”
Han Fei asked in surprise, “Is that true?”
Bei Huo nodded. “Yes. We don’t know the sea demons’ way of refining. If we want to use the weapons, we can only melt them and reproduce them. After all, the materials will still be the same. However, if you make any mistake during the reproduction, they might end up as ultra-quality spiritual weapons.”
Han Fei was lost for words. “Their level might drop?”
Mu Jia’er scoffed. “Of course! After all, the golden weapons are only partly made of materials better than the ultra quality. They’re not entirely made of Divine Weapon materials. So, their level will drop if you make a mistake in refining.”
Han Fei was rendered speechless. So, he had been happy for nothing! He would have to reproduce the equipment that he kept to himself.
However, on second thought, Han Fei realized that it wasn’t a problem. If he couldn’t make it, he could just give them to the Demon Purification Pot.
In the future when he learned the way to make combined and interconnected arrays, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to craft semi-divine weapons.
Han Fei came with great interest, and now that he found a definitive answer, he lost his interest.
After all, he was incapable of crafting semi-divine weapons just yet.
However, he had acquired the Ocean Book, which was a treasure. He would definitely make great progress in arrays if he studied it well.
Also, he was quite occupied at this moment. Apart from the Ocean Book, he needed to work on the Soul Splitting Technique too.
In terms of quality, the Soul Splitting Technique was much better than the Grand Soul Hosting Technique that he got from the Undersea City.
The Grand Soul Hosting Technique had a lot of shortcomings. After all, it was merely heaven-level, mid-quality. It might easily shatter one’s soul.
But the Soul Splitting Technique was different. It was heaven-level, divine-quality and much more sophisticated. It could almost preserve the soul forever.
After learning the information on semi-divine weapons, Han Fei instantly said, “Well, Uncle Bei Huo. I’ll be on my way. There’s something else I have to do.”
Guan Qingyan quickly shouted, “Brother Han, should we work on the way to refine semi-divine weapons? After all, Jia’er just proposed a fantastic suggestion.”
Han Fei patted Guan Qingyan’s shoulder, only to get a handful of ice. “Old Guan, do you have any illness? You’re really cold.”
Guan Qingyan said solemnly, “It’s just the technique that I practice. I’m actually fine.”
Han Fei nodded. “Mu Jia’er has proposed the idea anyway. Just run the experiments if you have time. Just try it first and tell me if it works. I’m a little busy right now. See you.”
