1637 A Peculiar Lightning Calamity! (1)
The Luck Tear floated in midair.
Meanwhile, the strange gray-blue alloy also rose into the air, once again turning into liquid under the scorching heat of the Emerald Glazed Flame. The molten material drifted towards the stone of fortune.
Wang Teng covered the Luck Tear with a layer of ice Force, all to prevent it from being affected by the strong flames.
That was just an additional protective layer. The stone was extremely hard, with a high melting point. Considering his current control, the heat would not cause any damage.
Then, the gray-blue liquid gradually enveloped the Luck Tear, leaving only a hint of purple visible, just like a small window ajar.
Now, he needed to use spiritual power to carve its shape.
He transformed the power into a sculpting knife, smoothly carving intricate runes along the metallic veins of the solidifying alloy.
Time passed slowly…
The molten metal became increasingly solid, taking a teardrop shape with complex and enigmatic patterns decorating the surface.
The Luck Tear was merely the size of a thumb after being wrapped by the metal.
Lin Chuhan saw this process as an invisible knife at work, filling the metallic surface with magnificent patterns, evoking a sense of enchantment and wonder.
“This is beautiful!” Her eyes glimmered. She stared intently at the jewel’s metallic encasing with her pretty eyes.
Although the stone’s appearance was now concealed, the gray-blue metal exhibited a dazzling radiance, with faint traces of purple seeping from underneath, adding an extra touch of mystery to its allure.
The surface of the end product was rife with a patterned array, bathed in hues of purple, which gave it an extraordinary and captivating appearance.
The young woman finally guessed what the hero wanted to forge.
Such a beautiful accessory wasn’t something a man would use.
Her expression changed. Honestly, she wanted to reject a gift as precious, but she didn’t want to disturb Wang Teng’s concentration. Besides, he had already completed the core portion, and saying anything beyond this point seemed useless. She had no choice but to watch as he continued with the forging.
“This fellow…” Lin Chuhan gritted her teeth.
Her gaze turned tender and gentle.
Wang Teng heaved a sigh of relief.
Having finished the core component, he released spiritual power, hoisting the remaining two materials into the air; one of which was none other than the Luck Channeling Stone.
The Emerald Glazed Flame’s intense heat melted and fused both materials, which gradually became one. The Luck Channeling Stone was completely fused with the other silver-white metal; the hero’s deft control transformed them into a silver-white necklace.
Similarly, the necklace also had engraved patterns, but they differed from those used on the core component.
The patterns on the latter were purple, which possessed sealing power.
The etchings on the necklace were also light purple, but they radiated a channeling power.
The rune sets were completely different, serving different purposes.
Wang Teng guided the necklace towards the main component and gradually fused them. He deliberately left an open circular link to achieve a seamless result.
There was a strange fluctuation once the two components were combined. However, the effect disappeared in an instant.
Boom!
Right then, a pillar of purple light was shot to the sky.
Dark clouds gathered and terrifying bolts of lightning appeared out of nowhere.
The necklace soared into the air, hovering within the pillar.
“Success!” The hero flashed a calm smile as he looked at the thunderous sky.
The process was a success for him once that step was reached. The lightning calamity wasn’t an issue.
Meanwhile, many people noticed the thunderclouds manifesting in the sky and looked up in astonishment.
That was the second lightning calamity of the day.
Is today a special day? Why are there so many tribulations?
Phenomena of the like were supposed to be rare, and they kept repeating on the same day. Everyone was awestruck.
Boom!
The dark clouds rumbled in the sky; the atmosphere was oppressive. Suddenly, a thunderbolt crashed down with a deafening roar.
Then…
The bolt of lightning narrowly brushed past the pillar of light and landed on the array activated by the Secondary Career Alliance.
Wang Teng: …
Lin Chuhan: …
The young hero was stunned.
More like dumbfounded.
What just happened?
Did the lightning miss the target? Is it drunk?
This is absurd!
This was the first time he met with such a bizarre situation.
The onlookers were also dumbstruck. Some even rubbed their eyes and wondered if they were seeing things.
The pillar of purple light remained untouched. The necklace swam around happily like a fish in the water.
It was like a silent provocation.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Instantly, the second, third, and fourth lightning bolt struck simultaneously, all of them heading for the light pillar.
And yet, surprisingly, the same situation was repeated.
None of the bolts reached the pillar. Instead, they landed directly on the alliance’s protective array.
On the other hand, the array started trembling violently; it was on the verge of collapsing.
Everyone was stunned.
The lightning calamity is messed up!
It can’t hit the target!
Boom!
The successive failures seemed to enrage the sky. Endless thunderclouds churned and gathered, summoning more lightning bolts. A profoundly oppressive and terrifying aura descended from the sky.
