The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2842 Friend, can I borrow a light?
All eyes around him turned to Su Hao. They were all very curious as to how the outcome of the weapon refining competition had involved Mount Taixu.

This is weapon crafting, not a fight!

If it comes to fighting, then Mount Taixu is the clear winner.

Su Hao laughed and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the final competition should be between me and Dai Yunshen. The competition format for the final is to refine the same magic weapon using the same materials. Whoever refines the magic weapon of better quality will be the winner."

"I've inquired about it. The main material for refining artifacts in this final is Black Cloud Soul Iron. It's a very rare but super excellent material. The magic weapon made from it will definitely be a top-tier spiritual treasure. However, Black Cloud Soul Iron has a characteristic that is that it has an extremely high melting point. Most flames in the world simply cannot melt Black Cloud Soul Iron."

"The highest temperature refining fire I currently possess is the Nine Yang Spirit Fire. Its temperature is extremely high and can completely melt the Black Cloud Soul Iron. However, the Nine Yang Spirit Fire has a flaw: because its temperature is too high and too violent, it is quite unstable, which is a major taboo for refining weapons."

“Dai Yunshen will probably use the Purple Heart Lotus Fire that he obtained by chance. The Purple Heart Lotus Fire is also extremely hot and can completely melt the Black Cloud Soul Iron. It is no less than the Nine Yang Spirit Fire. However, the temperature stability of the Purple Heart Lotus Fire is much higher than that of the Nine Yang Spirit Fire. Even if I can control and compensate with my techniques, if everyone’s level is similar, I will lose if I am even slightly inferior.”

Su Hao frankly analyzed the situation and said with a wry smile, "Dai Yunshen's weapon-refining skills are about the same as mine. If we were using a different material, the outcome might be uncertain, or we might even draw. But now he is using the Purple Heart Lotus Flame and I am using the Nine Yang Spirit Flame. This difference is enough to affect the outcome."

"When the True Immortal Taixu traveled through the Immortal Realm, he obtained all kinds of refining fire. The True Fire of Void Spirit that he used himself, as well as the Seven-Colored Dragon Flame that he gave to his sixth disciple Zhou Daodao, are both very suitable for refining Black Cloud Soul Iron. They are extremely stable and are the best choice for refining such high melting point materials."

"If it were one of them who came here, I would be willing to risk my reputation and borrow their refining fire. I would be confident that I could fight Dai Yunshen and even have a high chance of winning. But since it wasn't them who came, this plan naturally fell through."

After hearing the explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

After all that, it turns out it wasn't a lack of skill, but rather that the fire used for refining the weapon was inferior to the opponent's.

Everyone understood that there were many extraordinary fires in the world that could be used to refine weapons, and different fires could achieve different effects when used to refine different materials.

Choosing the right fire for refining and matching it accurately with the materials is one of the basic skills of a weapon refiner.

Although Su Hao was the sect master of the Star River Sect, he was ultimately not a Quasi-Saint of Space like the Grand Void True Man, who could traverse countless realms. Despite his best efforts, whether it was by chance or luck, although he obtained the Nine Yang Spiritual Flame, it was still inferior to Dai Yunshen's Purple Heart Lotus Flame. No wonder Su Hao's tone was tinged with envy and helplessness when he said that Dai Yunshen was lucky to obtain the Purple Heart Lotus Flame.

There was a moment of silence at the scene, after all, this was not a good place to offer comfort, and no amount of comforting would be quite appropriate.

Besides, given Su Hao's status, is it any of you here who should offer him comfort?

An old woman frowned and said, "Shouldn't this weapon-refining competition test weapon-refining skills under the same conditions? Doesn't this turn into a competition of who has the better weapon-refining fire? Doesn't this lose some of its original purpose?"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the surrounding crowd lit up, and they all echoed his sentiments.

Wanyan Jie was immediately embarrassed. Although the final competition segment was not decided by their Xuan Kong Sect, they were the organizers.

Su Hao didn't seem to care. He waved his hand and said magnanimously, "That's true, but this is a competition of the weapon refiner's skills. Isn't obtaining the weapon refining fire also one of the weapon refiner's skills? If you think about it that way, there's nothing wrong with it."

"Besides, what I just said is all under ideal conditions. When it comes to the actual game, it depends on the actual operation. If Dai Yunshen doesn't perform well enough and his operation is flawed, and I perform exceptionally well, I am not without a chance of winning."

Lin Chen secretly admired Su Hao. Su Hao acted openly and honestly, without any pretense, and was broad-minded. He truly deserved to be called a grandmaster!
Judging from his anxious expression just now, he really wanted to borrow a better forging fire to win the competition. However, when he realized that it was not feasible, he quickly calmed down, remained calm, and even took the initiative to persuade everyone.

The forging fire with an extremely high melting point?
Lin Chen's gaze suddenly stopped, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He possesses three types of refining fire: Yin-Yang Ghost Fire, Solar True Fire, and Phoenix Fire. Among them, Solar True Fire is an inanimate object, while Yin-Yang Ghost Fire and Phoenix Fire have awakened their intelligence and possess spirituality.

If I lend him a light, wouldn't he owe me a huge favor?
