Everyone was baffled, unable to comprehend how the sword had broken just from a collision.
Xu Nian had not used any Spiritual Energy just now, yet the sword broke upon contact.
Could it really be that the sword was just a piece of junk?
Elder Wang also showed a contemplative expression, clearly puzzled about why this had happened.
"It was him, it must have been their trickery. The sword I refined was a Seven-star Mortal Iron Level Top Grade sword, how could it possibly break upon impact? He must have tampered with it secretly," Jing Haoyang imdiately said, his neck flushed with anger.
The fact that his own sword had issues, whether it was true or not, he absolutely couldn't admit.
Once admitted, it would an that his skill as a Seven-star Refining Apprentice was in question.
Moreover, that would completely ruin his plans to invite Zhang Tian for a al.
The people around also looked suspiciously at Xu Nian and Zhang ng, equally perplexed about whether there had been tampering or if there was indeed an issue with the sword.
But if there was an issue, how could Elder Wang have not noticed it?
"Zhang ng, explain what's wrong with this sword," Elder Wang said, looking at Zhang ng.
At these words, everyone's eyes turned to Zhang ng, their faces filled with curiosity.
Zhang ng was montarily stunned.
Explain what?
He himself was completely baffled.
Left with no choice, he looked to Xu Nian for help.
Xu Nian smiled and said, "Elder Wang, let explain instead. Zhang ng is a kind-hearted person, he doesn't want to destroy his friendship with Senior Brother Jing Haoyang. So things are hard for him to say. Since he has already told everything, shall I explain?"
Elder Wang looked at Zhang ng, nodded, and said, "Alright, go ahead."
Upon hearing this, Zhang ng imdiately breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet, he couldn't help but admire Xu Nian.
Damn, pure-hearted?
And brotherhood?
He's really lying without even blinking.
Jing Haoyang's mouth twitched at the side, and at this mont, he felt like killing Zhang ng.
If it weren't for Zhang ng, he would already be having dinner with Zhang Tian today.
Xu Nian, however, ignored Jing Haoyang's murderous gaze and smiled as he picked up the broken sword from the ground, saying, "I suppose everyone knows that the most perfect weapon is forged by completely removing impurities from the ore, making the sword more flexible, thereby creating a weapon of excellent quality."
"However, I have already examined this sword," Elder Wang imdiately interjected. "The impurities haven't been perfectly removed, but nearly eighty percent has been done. Could it be because of the remaining twenty percent impurities?"
Xu Nian smiled and said, "Elder Wang, do not be hasty, I haven't finished. It's true that eighty percent of the impurities were removed from this sword, but it contains a special material that degrades this Seven-star Mortal Iron Level Top Grade sword into a worthless item."
"What material?" Elder Wang pressed.
The crowd also showed puzzled expressions. What material could degrade a weapon directly into junk?
"Mo Tie!" Xu Nian replied calmly.
"Mo Tie? What is that?" everyone around showed puzzled looks.
However, Elder Wang showed a look of surprise, and then took the sword from Xu Nian's hand.
After closely examining it, he finally understood and exclaid, "So it is. It seems I really was short-sighted."
Hearing this, Xu Nian's face also displayed a smile.
He knew that even if others didn't know what Mo Tie was, Elder Wang, obsessed with Artifact Refining, certainly would.
"What is this Mo Tie? Elder Wang, this guy is clearly talking nonsense." Jing Haoyang said angrily, refusing to believe that there was a problem with his artifact refining. It was obviously these two who had sabotaged it.
However, upon hearing this, Elder Wang Long looked displeased and scolded, "Hmph, ignorant fool, Mo Tie is a rare ore docunted in the Artifact Refining Materials Manual. This kind of ore must not be mixed into weapons, or even the most powerful weapon will be destroyed due to a trace of Mo Tie. Your weapon contains a small amount of Mo Tie, which I did not notice before. If it weren't for Zhang ng's ticulous observation, I would have indeed been a useless person unable to discern the truth."
Upon hearing Elder Wang Long's words, Jing Haoyang's face turned livid, and he roared, "It's not fair! Even if my refining failed, it was because the materials you provided were flawed. It doesn't an my skills are lacking! I demand a rematch!"
Jing Haoyang felt a strong sense of injustice. What could he do if the iron ore was mixed with Mo Tie?
He felt it was extrely unfair.
Yet, upon hearing this, Elder Wang Long beca completely enraged and coldly retorted, "Hmph, removing Mo Tie is a basic lesson for an Artifact Refiner. If you can't even handle that, don't talk to about fairness. Failure is failure. Without even this basic humility, you will definitely achieve nothing significant in artifact refining."
Jing Haoyang was scolded until his face turned blue.
Today, not only did he lose the chance to have dinner with Zhang Tian, but he was also humiliated in front of so many people.
And all this was caused by Zhang ng and this young man.
"Zhang ng, you wait for . I, Jing Haoyang, will rember today's enmity. And you, kid, just you wait," Jing Haoyang glared at Zhang ng and Xu Nian bitterly, then turned and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Having been so humiliated, he had no face left to invite Zhang Tian to dinner.
"Ai, it's not my fault, ah. It was all Zhang ng's doing; if you want soone to bla, find him, not ." Xu Nian shouted towards Jing Haoyang's departing figure.
Everyone was speechless.
How could this person be so irresponsible?
In comparison, Zhang ng's performance was quite unexpected; he even knew about the Mo Tie mixed in Jing Haoyang's weapon.
Seeing everyone casting approving glances at him, Zhang ng's face broke into a naive smile.
When he saw that goddess Zhang Tian was also smiling at him, he was overwheld with excitent.
Zhang Tian was smiling at him, sothing that had never happened before!
At that mont, the first person he thought of was Xu Nian, his gratitude towards Xu Nian was overflowing like a surging river. He was trendously undecided.
"Young man, well done. Would you be interested in having as your master? I happen to be in need of a disciple," Elder Wang approached Zhang ng and spoke.
Upon these words, the entire place was astounded.
Elder Wang was taking the initiative to accept a disciple?
Everyone knew that Elder Wang was extrely selective. Even so Inner Sect Disciples who wanted to be his students hadn't caught his eye, and now he was actively offering to take Zhang ng as his disciple?
"I would, I would! Disciple in the upper position, please accept my bow as a student," Zhang ng hastily knelt down, so excited that he misspoke.
Elder Wang blustered and glared, feeling that sothing was amiss.
But he didn't think too much about it.
However, when he found out the whole story days later, he nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood!
Seeing Elder Wang accepting him, Zhang ng's face also lit up with a happy grin.
But the good news didn't stop there. Zhang Tian actually ca forward and smilingly said to Zhang ng, "Junior Brother Zhang, are you free tonight? As your senior sister, I'd like to invite you to dinner."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Zhang ng with envy and jealousy.
Zhang ng felt his head buzz, blood rushing to his face.
But just then, he saw Xu Nian quietly leaving the crowd.
"Bro, wait for ." Without a second word, he took off running after him.
People around were utterly baffled.
Holy cow, how aweso is this Zhang ng?
He actually outright ignored Zhang Tian's invitation? Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
The ignored Zhang Tian looked embarrassed, watching Zhang ng's retreating figure and silently vowed, "Hmph, dare to ignore , I will definitely make you mine."
