Eternal Sacred King

ledge of weapon refinement, they knew how difficult it was to attempt spirit gathering.

Therefore, Xue Yi’s choice attracted quite a bit of attention.

With a solemn expression, Xue Yi controlled the spirit qi within the Weapon Tripod warily and channeled it towards the flying sword.

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out from within the tripod, reverberating through the hall loud and clear.

It was broken!

Xue Yi realized that something was wrong.

The disciples watching shook their heads.

That was the sound of cracks forming on the sword.

True enough.

The next moment, yet another crack sounded out.

A boom echoed out from Xue Yi’s Weapon Tripod as his flying sword exploded.
Shrapnels shot against the inner walls of the tripod, producing tinkling sounds.

The spirit gathering had failed.

Xue Yi chuckled bitterly before putting away his Weapon Tripod.
He bowed to the five peak masters and left the Weapon Refinement Hall.

The explosion of the flying sword meant that he was eliminated.

Following that, other disciples were finishing up with their weapon refinements.
Apart from Xue Yi, no one else attempted spirit gathering.

Right then, Su Zimo heaved out an air of relief as he was done with his tempering.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Everyone fixed their gaze on Su Zimo.

Some of the Weapon Peak disciples had looks of anticipation.

Su Zimo was now Weapon Peak’s final hope.

If he failed, that would mean that the number one of Weapon Peak would be taken away by disciples of other peaks!

Even though they were all of the same sect, it wasn’t an honor for disciples of Weapon Peak.

Su Zimo paused for a moment and suddenly, he did something that shocked everyone – he removed his Weapon Tripod!

“W-What is he doing?”

“Is he giving up on spirit gathering?”

“I’m not sure.”

If Su Zimo wanted to give up on spirit gathering, all he had to do was take the gigantic axe out of the Weapon Tripod and dip it in cold water.

There was no need to remove the Weapon Tripod.

Right after, in front of everyone, Su Zimo started channeling the surrounding spirit qi towards the gigantic axe with a solemn expression.

Spirit gathering!

He had chosen to attempt spirit gathering!

However, this was quite a bizarre scene before them.

All through history, there had never been a Weapon Refinement Master who would remove their Weapon Tripod while conducting spirit gathering.

That was completely pointless and way too dangerous for the Weapon Refinement Master.

If the spirit gathering failed and the spirit weapon exploded, the first person to suffer would be the Weapon Refinement Master himself.

“Hmm?”

When the disheveled old man saw that, his heart skipped a beat as he stood up instinctively, wanting to stop Su Zimo.

However, Su Zimo had already begun.

If the disheveled old man said something to distract Su Zimo, the spirit gathering may end up failing.

Frowning, the disheveled old man hesitated for a long time before sitting down.
He was extremely tense and was prepared to save Su Zimo immediately.

Feng Haoyu who was initially standing beside Su Zimo was shocked by the latter’s action and dodged aside right away.

Right then, Su Zimo turned his head while spirit gathering and gave a fake smile.
“Why are you running? You’re afraid?”

That statement caused an uproar outside the hall!

When it came to spirit gathering, one would usually have to focus intently to prevent mistakes.
No one would behave like Su Zimo – not only did he remove his Weapon Tripod, he was even chatting with others!

Wasn’t that just courting death?

However, no one knew that Su Zimo’s spirit gathering method was based on his spirit perception.

Even if he was distracted, his spirit perception would warn him immediately about any signs of incoming failure.
Su Zimo would then naturally stop.

“Lunatic!”

Feng Haoyu scolded coldly before retreating a couple of steps more.

There were initially some other disciples beside Su Zimo.
Some of them had just finished refining their weapons.
However, they did not even bother to submit their flying swords before they dodged him like the plague.

Some disciples were still tempering their spirit weapons.
When they saw what happened, they ran off without caring about their weapons in the tripod, hating their parents for not giving them an extra pair of legs.

It was chaos within the Weapon Refinement Hall.

In the blink of an eye, other than the five peak masters, there was no one else left around Su Zimo!
