Grandmaster Mo De was stunned when he saw w.a.n.g Teng’s gaze stopping on the Lightning Slap.
“Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng, are you planning to forge this Lightning Slap?” Grandmaster Mo De exclaimed in surprise.
“I feel that I’m fated with this Lightning Slap.” w.a.n.g Teng laughed. A strange idea took root in his mind. He couldn’t douse his excitement.
“But… to tell you the truth, the difficulty of forging this weapon is a little high. Also, it requires rare materials. One of the materials, the dark weight luminary gold, is extremely rare. I have only seen it twice in my entire life. This is why this Lightning Slap was put on the last page,” Grandmaster Mo De said in a helpless tone.
“That’s right. Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng, the dark weight luminary gold is too scarce. We don’t have it in the alliance,” another grandmaster blacksmith chimed in.
“Dark weight luminary gold?” The smile on w.a.n.g Teng’s face got brighter. “I have it.”
“You have it?!” The four grandmaster blacksmiths were shocked.
“That’s why I said there’s an affinity between me and the Lightning Slap.” w.a.n.g Teng smiled, and a golden brick appeared in his hand. “Take a look. Is this dark weight luminary gold?”
The eyes of the grandmaster blacksmiths lit up. They hurried over to take a closer look.
“This is really the dark weight luminary gold!” Grandmaster Mo De was staggered.
“Based on its weight, I think it’s enough to forge the Lightning Slap,” Grandmaster Jiao Gaofeng said. This was another grandmaster blacksmith. He was a human, and he was weighing the golden brick in his hand.

“Hahaha, seems like this is really fate,” another grandmaster blacksmith from the ape race said. This was Grandmaster Boke. He was tall, muscular, and dark, just like a black ape.
“Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng, I’m so envious of you. You even have the rare dark weight luminary gold,” Grandmaster Mo De said.
“I was lucky.” w.a.n.g Teng smiled.
“Anyway, why did you make a brick with it?” The last grandmaster blacksmith, Grandmaster Gaunt, was a human too. There was a strange expression on his face as he spoke.
“I’m used to a brick.” w.a.n.g Teng chuckled.
Silence.
The four grandmasters finally understood why w.a.n.g Teng chose the Lightning Slap. It had the same use as a brick!

“Cough, we have no more questions since the materials are all here. I’ll ask someone to collect the other materials that are available in the alliance,” Grandmaster Mo De said.
“Okay, thank you, Grandmaster Mo De.” w.a.n.g Teng nodded.
“You’re welcome.” Grandmaster Mo De smiled and waved his hands.
…
After some time, the staff sent the materials needed for the Lightning Slap to the smithery studio.
“Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng, if you have no other questions, you can start.” Grandmaster Mo De pa.s.sed the s.p.a.ce ring with all the materials to w.a.n.g Teng.
w.a.n.g Teng nodded. He placed all the materials on the table.
“Oh right, there’s one more thing. Forging a grandmaster-level weapon will cause a lightning calamity too. You should be prepared,” Grandmaster Mo De said.
At first, he felt that any reminders were unnecessary after seeing how ferocious w.a.n.g Teng was when he fought with the lightning calamity. However, he remembered that this was his third a.s.sessment, so he might have exhausted much of his spirit and energy. In the end, he still chose to warn him.
He had asked w.a.n.g Teng if he needed some time to rest to recover his spirit, but he rejected him.
w.a.n.g Teng’s expression changed slightly. Forging a grandmaster-level will attract the lightning calamity too?
That means that I can pick up more calamity lightning attributes. My bolt of calamity lightning can grow stronger too.
This was a good thing!
This was the difference between him and others. Ordinary people would be worried about the lightning calamity, but he was thinking about the benefits he could receive.
“I’ll take note.” He thanked Grandmaster Mo De, “Thank you for your reminder.”
Then, he placed his focus on the materials on the table. His expression turned serious.
Compared to the hundreds of ingredients needed to make a grandmaster-level dan, forging a weapon required much fewer materials.
However, it wasn’t any easier.
w.a.n.g Teng raised his palm. An emerald flame sprung up on his hand.
With a wave of his hand, the emerald flame turned into a fire dragon and flew towards the fire vent below the smithing table. It started burning below the table.
“The green flame!”
“This temperature… this is a divine flame!”
The four grandmaster blacksmiths were flabbergasted. They stared at the Emerald Glazed Flame in bewilderment.
With their eyesight, they could naturally tell that this was a divine flame.
Blacksmiths needed flames to help them with their forging. Fire was as important to blacksmiths as alchemists. Thus, when they saw the divine flame, their eyes turned red. They were filled with envy.
In summary, they had the same expression as when the grandmaster alchemists saw the Emerald Glazed Flame.
w.a.n.g Teng disregarded their expressions. This wasn’t the first time it had happened. He wrapped a piece of metal with his spiritual power and threw it into the flame.
With the help of the flame’s high temperature, the metal started to melt and turn into liquid. It moved around in the flames.
w.a.n.g Teng then threw in the other materials to refine them.
He separated the flame into more than ten portions. Each portion enveloped one material. None of them affected each other.
Very soon, only two materials were left.
One was the dark weight luminary gold and the other was a purple crystal. This was the cloud lightning crystal!
