Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 753 - 752: Guiding Dongfang Qingxue

Aside from Ji Zhong, there were two other individuals with formidable prowess in artifact refining.

One of them was Yao Feifei.

It must be said, although Yao Feifei was extremely arrogant, she had an immensely strong talent for artifact refinement.

Even though they were all refining intermediate grade immortal artifacts, her refinement technique was extremely profound.

In controlling the hand seals and inscriptions, she was even superior to Dongfang Qingxue.

This could not help but make Xu Ping’an take her very seriously.

If someone could refine a semi-divine artifact, Yao Feifei would certainly be counted among them.

As for the last one, he was the genius Wu Bing from the Earth Spirit Realm.

His artifact refining technique was extremely strange, one that even Xu Ping’an had never seen before.

Nevertheless, he handled inscription forging with ease, with great dexterity.

He could be said to be the first to successfully refine an intermediate grade immortal artifact.

An intermediate grade immortal artifact, he had refined successfully in just three hours.

This was something that even Xu Ping’an in his previous life could not achieve, which shows how extraordinary this Wu Bing’s artifact refining was.

In Xu Ping’an’s view, these three were formidable competitors contending for the championship of this competition.

Soon it was the final hammering stage, and Xu Ping’an no longer distracted himself, starting the forging process with his full attention.

This time, he was forging an artifact with fifty-nine inscriptions.

This was also the limit for an intermediate grade immortal artifact.

That’s right, unlike the spiritual artifact, an immortal artifact requires the addition of twelve inscriptions to rise a quality grade.

Sixty inscriptions could reach the level of a high-grade immortal artifact, and seventy-two inscriptions could reach the level of a superior grade immortal artifact.

As for a divine artifact, it’s not as simple as just forging inscriptions; one must forge divine patterns.

The conditions for forging divine patterns are extremely demanding, so many superior grade immortal instrument masters spend their entire lives without being able to refine a divine artifact.

At this moment, what Xu Ping’an was also forging was the limit of an intermediate grade immortal artifact, fifty-nine inscriptions.

This time, Xu Ping’an did not use the Polar Hammering Technique, but continued with the Eighty-One Stack Hammering Technique.

However, with the mastery of the Polar Hammering Technique, Xu Ping’an’s skill with the Eighty-One Stack Hammering Technique had grown even more refined.

Dongfang Qingxue, who had been observing, was now looking at Xu Ping’an with a face full of surprise.

Although she had noticed Xu Ping’an’s mastery of the Eighty-One Stack Hammering Technique before.

She did not know that Xu Ping’an’s proficiency in the stack hammering technique was so well-honed.

Xu Ping’an’s movements were like flowing clouds and water, extremely smooth; one hammer down and the second was already forming, almost without the slightest obstruction.

Listening to Xu Ping’an’s hammering was like hearing an extremely delightful piece of music, immensely pleasing to the ear.

Dongfang Qingxue’s face showed disbelief, as the person before her—Qin Feng—mastered the Eighty-One Stack Hammering Technique so proficiently.

To achieve such a perfect rhythm in hammering, even her father might not be able to do so.

Even under the influence of Xu Ping’an’s hammering, Dongfang Qingxue found her own stack hammering technique had broken through, jumping directly from sixty-four to sixty-eight stacks.

This was simply incredible, even to Dongfang Qingxue herself. Under Qin Feng’s influence, she had accomplished a breakthrough in her stack hammering technique.

Naturally, Xu Ping’an noticed Dongfang Qingxue’s breakthrough and showed a hint of a smile on his lips.

This Dongfang Qingxue really had good perception, and he had not deliberately pointed it out to her.

She was able to discern the regular pattern of his soul power from the sound of his hammering, thus breaking through her own limitations.

Such clever perception, Xu Ping’an was encountering for the first time.

Although Xu Ping’an only performed the Eighty-One Stack Hammering.

In fact, he was trying a new forging method.

Two soul origins alternated and burst forth in tandem.

This meant that Xu Ping’an was using two soul origins, which took turns to unleash the power in an additive explosion.

In this way, compared to the outburst of a single soul origin.

The alternating explosion of two souls created a stronger rhythm.

The power was also more perfectly condensed, without any occurrence of stagnation or overflow.

Of course, such a forging technique could only be used by Xu Ping’an alone.

After all, not everyone’s soul origin could be split.

"Seeing that you have some perception, I’ll give you some guidance and see to what extent you can comprehend," Xu Ping’an said with a light chuckle to himself.

Suddenly, he condensed another Soul Hammer in his hand.

Then, Dongfang Qingxue witnessed a scene that shocked her to the core.

She saw Xu Ping’an wielding dual hammers, striking one after another with barely a hint of stagnancy, hammering away like a torrential downpour gone wild.

This rhythmic hammering seemed as though it struck right at the heart of Dongfang Qingxue.

Dongfang Qingxue was incomparably stunned, could the Eighty-One Stack Hammering Technique also be performed this way?

However, soon Dongfang Qingxue snapped out of her shock, her eyes bursting with brightness.

Because she found that her soul power was being drawn by Xu Ping’an’s rhythmic hammering, starting to synchronize with the rhythm of his strikes unintentionally.

Although it took Xu Ping’an four strikes to her one.

Under Xu Ping’an’s guidance, Dongfang Qingxue’s stack hammering count also began to increase again, breaking through from the initial sixty-eight to seventy, and was still continuing.

"Is he teaching me?" Dongfang Qingxue looked at Xu Ping’an with a face full of surprise and her eyes filled with complexity.

She knew that her ability to break through again was definitely intentional on the part of Qin Feng before her.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel grateful as she looked towards Xu Ping’an.

But she also knew that this opportunity was once in a lifetime, so she didn’t allow any distractions, fully focusing on feeling the pull of Xu Ping’an’s rhythm.

And as Dongfang Qingxue concentrated on her perception, her forging technique also continuously improved.

Xu Ping’an, looking at Dongfang Qingxue who was fully immersed, also showed a hint of a smile on his face.

Dongfang Qingxue’s perception was truly impressive; he was indeed leading her, allowing her soul to burst forth to the fullest in keeping up with him.

Under this unified rhythm, she could clearly perceive the regularity of her soul power’s bursts, aiding her breakthrough.

Of course, this was also due to Dongfang Qingxue’s strong perception; others might not achieve the same effect.

Atop the high platform, the Great Supreme Elder of the Refining Alliance also noticed this scene, revealing a look of surprise.

"To perform the Stack Hammering Technique to such extent is simply inconceivable. Not only that, but she’s also able to guide others with her hammer technique, a skill that even I cannot achieve," the Great Supreme Elder said as he focused on Xu Ping’an, his eyes filled with shock.

He had not expected there to be such a dark horse in this competition, making it truly unknown who would come out as the champion.

"Clang!"

Following Xu Ping’an’s final strike, the Immortal Armament Battle Saber he was working on burst forth with an exceptionally sharp aura.

Two bolts of thunder instantly fell, striking the battle saber, while the nearby immortal artifacts also swiftly converged toward the saber.

It’s done!

Xu Ping’an’s face also broke into a smile.
