Ye Zhongming opened the first box and took out a material. He looked around and then gently placed his hand on it, closing his eyes slightly. A faint aura emanated from his palm, slowly infusing into the material.
Seeing this, Huo Zhi raised his eyebrows.
As the saying goes, an outsider watches for the commotion, while an insider watches for the method. Huo Zhi, as an elder of the Su Clan and a true formation master, had a profound understanding of array formations, especially since he was exceptionally talented and involved in various fields. Naturally, he had contemplated countless ways to enhance formations.
However, the ten major formations were the collective wealth accumulated over countless years by previous generations. How could improving them be so easy?
To Huo Zhi, seeing Ye Zhongming's actions made it clear what he was doing.
He was... improving the material!
This may sound simple, but in practice, it is challenging. Ordinary materials are not too hard to modify, and anything made from the improved material would be better than the original.
This is the most basic and straightforward method of enhancement.
But the materials for major formations are different because arranging an array emphasizes energy balance, circulation, stability, and constraints.
Thus, the materials required need to have corresponding properties. Therefore, very few people can improve the materials used to set up formations. Even the slightest mistake, even a tiny modification in the material, could lead to the failure of the formation.
So, although everyone clearly knows this is the most direct way to enhance the power of formations, they are helpless.
It truly requires a masterful formation master, material handler, or craftsman to perfect the modification of materials.
Such individuals typically live exceedingly well among the All Races of the Universe, especially in the Su Clan.
Huo Zhi knew that Ye Zhongming was a decent craftsman but never expected he would dare to attempt modifying materials.
This was asking too much; not only did it require meticulous control over energy, but it also demanded high physical strength, mental strength, and perception...
However, Huo Zhi did not stop Ye Zhongming, nor was he afraid he would damage these nearly unique materials. He wanted to see what this little guy, who often brought surprises, could deliver this time.
Ye Zhongming was extremely cautious, knowing the significance of the task and not daring to let his guard down.
The material continuously rotated in his hands. If observed closely, it was clear that there was no contact with Ye Zhongming's hands; it was controlled solely by his power, which heightened Huo Zhi's expectations even more.
Nevertheless, Huo Zhi started to worry whether this kid had enough stamina and mental energy...
Minutes later, the power from Ye Zhongming's hands gradually dissipated, and the material fell back into his hands.
"Fortunately, I did not let you down." Ye Zhongming set this material aside and picked up the second piece.
Huo Zhi was not polite and directly took the modified material, observing it closely. He found that its quality had indeed improved fundamentally, and all internal structures perfectly met the requirements of the golden soldier killing array.
He placed the material down with satisfaction and continued watching Ye Zhongming modify the second piece.
In just a few minutes, Ye Zhongming had improved a piece of material, and his speed was astonishingly consistent. Moreover, Huo Zhi, being a grandmaster, keenly noticed that although it seemed Ye Zhongming took the same amount of time to improve each material, the actual speed had slightly increased. The improvement time of the second piece was at least a dozen seconds shorter than that of the first piece.
These materials are all the same!
This could only mean that Ye Zhongming had begun to master the technique and was no longer as awkward as before.
This kid truly has enviable talent.
After finishing this type of material, Huo Zhi checked the time; it had been less than an hour. This particular material was the most abundant, accounting for about a quarter of the total materials.
