Martial Master

"If I'm not mistaken, you have simplified both arrays in these areas. The simplified areas are the third, fifth, and seventh array zones of the Cold Gathering Array, and the first, second, and fifth array zones of the Fire Dispersing Array. These six zones have a certain degree of similarity. With simple modifications, the two array patterns can be harmonized without affecting the effectiveness of the array operation."

With every sentence Qin Chen spoke, Leng Mo's face grew uglier. By the time Qin Chen was finished, his face was as dark as a pot bottom.

At the same time, the shock in his heart was like a stormy sea.

Because what Qin Chen said was absolutely correct.

When he crafted the Ice Glass Sword, he indeed modified the Cold Gathering Array and the Fire Dispersing Array, and the modified parts were exactly as Qin Chen described.

However, the adjustments were extremely subtle. Even a third-level array master might not notice them in a hurry. How did this kid see through it in such a short time?

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Leng Mo coldly said, "Even if you're right, so what? The modified array patterns by me are perfect and allow the three materials to combine seamlessly without any flaws."

"So what? Haha, you really have the face to say such a thing. The modified Fire Dispersing Array will have a twenty percent loss in neutralizing fire attributes. This loss may be negligible elsewhere, but on this Ice Glass Sword, it is a grave mistake."

Lifting up the long sword, Qin Chen explained to the crowd, "In the short term, this Ice Glass Sword won’t show any problems, but after a few uses, issues will arise. First, although the modified Cold Gathering Array and Fire Dispersing Array seem to be perfectly integrated, the array patterns are not stable. After several operations, the entire array will fail. Secondly, the modified Fire Dispersing Array cannot fully neutralize the Extreme Light Sand’s fire attribute, leading to an unstable material structure of the entire sword. The final result will be the sword suddenly shattering in battle, causing severe true energy backlash."

"In combat, if your weapon shatters and energy backlash occurs, everyone here knows what the consequences would be, right?"

Qin Chen looked at Leng Mo indifferently, "Even some genuine array masters dare not easily merge the Cold Gathering and Fire Dispersing Arrays, yet you, a mere second-level craftsman, dare to modify them recklessly. Truly bold!"

"You...you...nonsense, complete nonsense."

Master Leng Mo's pupils shrank, his beard and hair bristled in rage, his eyes bulging like bronze bells.

The shock in his heart was like an earthquake.

He wanted to refute but didn't know how to.

Qin Chen's description of every step in crafting the Ice Glass Sword was exactly like his own process. It was as if this person stood by his side during the crafting, so clear about his process.

Could this person be a ghost?

While Master Leng Mo was shocked, everyone present was stunned.

Most people here were not very knowledgeable about crafting, but it didn't stop them from evaluating a weapon.

Moreover, from Master Leng Mo's attitude, everyone could see that what Qin Chen said was most likely true.

Damn, this Ice Glass Sword turned out to be a weapon with serious defects.

Does Master Leng Mo have to be this deceptive?

Everyone knows how much a defective treasure weapon can impact a martial artist.

Holding a subpar treasure weapon, in battle, at most, the enhancement to one’s strength is slightly reduced.

But if the situation Qin Chen described occurs in battle, it would result in the sword breaking and the person dying.

"Do you think such a treasure weapon can be called fine? Saying it's average is already flattering it. Saying it's trash isn't an exaggeration!"

Qin Chen shook his head while speaking.

"Hmph, that's just your nonsense. The integration of the Cold Gathering and Fire Dispersing Arrays is just your unilateral statement with no evidence. Moreover, even if there's some, it's just an accident."
