Martial Master

“Hmm!”

Qin Chen nodded, just about to put away the broken armor, but suddenly noticed a part of the patterns on the armor, causing his heart to leap.

“Strange, why are these patterns so familiar? It seems I’ve seen them somewhere?”

With a flash of insight, Qin Chen instantly understood where he had seen these patterns before.

Some of the secret patterns on this armor were surprisingly similar to the secret techniques mastered by Gu Nandu, seemingly originating from the same source.

“Could it be that the reason this item cannot be refined is not due to broken inscriptions, but because the true power is misaligned?”

Qin Chen clearly remembered that when he and the black slave entered that mysterious palace in the Black Death Marsh, they were unable to activate the stone pillar formation for a long time. It was only by utilizing the strange power mastered by Gu Nandu that they could stimulate the stone pillar and enter the core of the palace.

Could this broken armor be the same?

With a thought, Qin Chen immediately activated that mysterious technique, and a chilling power spread from his hand, instantly pouring into the armor in front of him.

“Buzz!”

As that power entered, the entire armor seemed to tremble slightly, and Qin Chen had a feeling that this ancient armor, which had been stored for who knows how many years, suddenly seemed to come alive.

This feeling was quite peculiar; the broken armor still looked the same before him, unchanged, not even a speck of dust was missing, yet Qin Chen felt as if this broken armor had been in slumber and was now slowly awakening.

“Wait a moment, you two!”

Qin Chen's gaze sharpened as he immediately sat cross-legged and began to attempt refining this mysterious armor using the strange true power.

Seeing Qin Chen's actions, Liu Yuanqin and Liu Lingyun were both stunned. “Master Qin, you’re not really planning to refine this armor, are you? The book mentioned that this item is already broken, and many top experts of the Great Wei Dynasty tried to refine it in the past, but after years of effort, they all failed. Clearly, it is completely damaged, and refining it will be extremely difficult, almost like reaching the sky.”

According to the records, even 7th rank Martial Kings had attempted to refine this armor before, and if they couldn’t do it, how could Qin Chen succeed?

However, Qin Chen ignored the two and began to carefully perceive the structure of the inscriptions within.

“Hmm? There is indeed a change.”

When Qin Chen operated that strange true power and infused it into the armor, the power within the armor seemed to gradually awaken, slowly gaining vitality.

Half an hour later!

Buzz!

As the strange true power circulated through every inscription on the armor, the entire armor suddenly emitted a hazy glow.

Liu Yuanqin, who was still smiling wryly, said, “Master Qin, since it is recorded this way, it means that this item indeed cannot be refined. What you are doing is completely futile…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Liu Yuanqin caught sight of the armor emitting a hazy glow, her voice abruptly stopping, her eyes widening in shock.

“You... Master Qin... you successfully refined this broken armor?”

Liu Yuanqin's mouth fell open as if she had stuffed in several watermelons.

Liu Lingyun, coming back to her senses, also had her jaw drop in disbelief.

What had Fifth Brother said? Many experts from the royal family spent decades and failed to refine it, yet Master Qin succeeded in half an hour?

Could it be that Master Qin’s skills surpassed those of the past Martial Kings of the dynasty?

At this moment, Qin Chen, however, paid no attention to the two of them, his spirit fully focused on the armor in front of him, which was covered in strange secret patterns, glowing and constantly flickering.

“Demon Tribe Armor?”

At the same time, a piece of information flooded into Qin Chen’s mind.

Ancient Demon Tribe standard armor for war generals, ranked as royal grade, capable of merging with its user. During battle, under the activation of the Demon Tribe's power, it can instantly protect the body. The royal grade Demon Tribe armor consists of seven pieces, and a complete set can withstand any level of attack from a Demon Tribe war general without sustaining any injuries, being the pinnacle work among the standard armor of the Demon Tribe.
