King of Assassins-Chapter 918 - 647: Peerless Genius

The Crimson Sun Golden Crystal is a peanut-sized piece of Red Gold Crystal, with a pure color and somewhat irregular shape.

When Gao Xuan saw it, he immediately knew that the whole crystal had been shattered to become this shape.

Since then, he had been yearning for this Crimson Sun Golden Crystal.

No choice, this thing's Source Power attribute is too compatible with the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade.

While staying for training on Xianyang Star, there's no need for too strong a Magical Artifact. If his identity is exposed, he wouldn't be able to contend with a random Divine Tier powerhouse.

Even against a Super Tier, he would likely not stand a chance.

Gao Xuan originally planned to proceed step by step, wait until he had money, and then upgrade the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade.

It'd be best to wait until he advances to Golden Core, by then owning a Third-Grade Spiritual Artifact wouldn't be that conspicuous.

Now that he's going to Sea Emperor Star on a mission, although Shui Yunlan seems reliable, you never know.

If she turns out like Shui Yunling, and fails at a critical moment, he'd have to rely on himself.

Huo Fengwu is also straightforward, crucially she knows Gao Xuan's identity and knows Huo Wuming is Gao Xuan's recommender.

Just based on this relationship, she's not afraid of Gao Xuan backing out.

A small piece of Crimson Sun Golden Crystal is highly valuable, but such a finished Divine Crystal is actually very difficult to sell.

Refining it into a high-tier Spiritual Artifact not only allows for safe transactions but also can fetch a high price.

Over more than a year of collaboration, Gao Xuan has demonstrated his extraordinary talent in array design.

Designing arrays is a job requiring extremely high technical skill. Standard array designs are already very perfect, leaving little room for modification even for mass-produced Magical Artifacts.

Customized modifications only make the Magical Artifact more suited to the owner's needs, but do not truly enhance the artifact's power.

The Divine Fire Refining Studio used to handle such tasks. Honestly speaking, the technical content wasn't very high.

After Gao Xuan joined, the Divine Fire Studio modified several artifacts successfully, gaining great acclaim in the industry.

The key lies in Gao Xuan's more refined array designs. They can directly enhance the artifact's quality and reduce the demand for artifact materials.

In short, Gao Xuan is an unparalleled genius.

Even if Gao Xuan were to fail in modification, Huo Fengwu wouldn't really do anything to him. Such talent must be drawn in at all costs.

The artifact modification industry is highly profitable. Especially being able to innovate on core array improvements, such talent is exceedingly rare.

Although Cyberspace can transmit items, artifact modification is impossible within Cyberspace.

It's simple, Gao Xuan granted Huo Fengwu access permissions for watching his refining process via a live stream in Cyberspace.

Of course, she's just watching for the excitement.

The actual refining process happens in the core runes, at the most refined level.

Even if Huo Fengwu were standing right beside Gao Xuan, she'd be just watching the excitement.

Over the past year, Gao Xuan has taken many jobs and set up a separate artifact refining room where he lives.

The main feature is an alloy processing table equipped with some refining equipment.

Gao Xuan places the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade securely on the processing table and activates the array barrier.

This array barrier primarily filters out Source Power shocks, to prevent abnormal Source Power fluctuations from damaging the artifact refinement.

The cultivation system has developed over a thousand years, forming a standardized system for artifact refinement.

Moreover, artifacts are more important than cultivators.

The cultivator as a living entity is difficult to control. Artifacts, however, are inanimate yet possess great power.

Each year, the Holy Hall invests vast funds and manpower into artifact research and development. Some top-tier artifacts combined with modern technology have achieved great success.

At the Holy Hall, there's even a specialized artifact refinement program, further divided into dozens of categories with extremely detailed divisions of labor.

Gao Xuan, coming from an unconventional background, operates very unsystematically in artifact refinement.

Huo Fengwu watching in Cyberspace shakes her head; what's all this? If she hadn't known that Gao Xuan was genuinely talented in array design, she'd want to kick him.

Gao Xuan remains oblivious; he places the Crimson Sun Golden Crystal at the center of the Dark Gold Gloves and activates the array on the work station.

The Crimson Sun Golden Crystal quickly melts into Red Gold Liquid under high temperature, and as Gao Xuan stimulates the Dark Gold Gloves, they shine with dark golden light, revealing countless subtle runes.

Millions of subtle runes, each rune shines a point of micro light.

Even as Huo Fengwu stares intently, she barely recognizes half of the runes.

Before Huo Fengwu can understand the rune arrangement, they swiftly rotate and then converge in a brilliant light.

The process is so fast it makes Huo Fengwu's head spin, leaving her seeing nothing clearly.

Huo Fengwu quickly realizes watching the combination of runes and arrays at this level is pointless.

Even a Golden Core powerhouse beside her couldn't memorize all the rune array changes.

Moreover, the true core rune arrays lie deep within the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade, invisible from the outside. Only Gao Xuan's Spiritual Power can penetrate to the core of the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade.

Gao Xuan didn't need to demonstrate to Huo Fengwu; having her observe was just to boost her confidence.

He had already come up with a comprehensive plan for the modification of the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade. But modifying a magical artifact requires sufficient energy and materials; just altering the Array wouldn't be enough.

The Crimson Sun Golden Crystal has the characteristics of Pure Yang True Flame and, at the same time, the sharpness and fierceness of Geng Metal.

In terms of attributes, it greatly complements the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade.

After Gao Xuan improved the core Rune Array of the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade, upon absorbing the Crimson Sun Golden Crystal, the Rune Seeds naturally grew, doubling the number of runes.

After modifying the Rune Array, the remaining energy of the Crimson Sun Golden Crystal seeped into the depths of the materials of the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade.

Under the illumination of Gao Xuan's Bright Mirror Divine Soul, the Crimson Sun Golden Crystal delved into the particle-level to remodel the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade.

This process lasted an hour.

From Huo Fengwu's perspective, the whole process seemed rather boring; she could only see the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade continually shining with a faint light. As for the specific changes, she couldn't see them at all.

When the transformation of the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade was finally complete, the Golden Light of the Dark Gold Gloves suddenly intensified, triggering a violent Source Power fluctuation.

Although Huo Fengwu couldn't see the core changes of the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade, she could sense the turbulent fluctuations in the depths of the Sea of Source Power.

Meanwhile, a Spiritual aura emerged from the depths of the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade.

Her mouth half-opened, her face full of amazement.

Although Gao Xuan had mentioned it beforehand, she didn't really believe that Gao Xuan could refine a Third-Grade Spiritual Artifact.

Third Grade corresponds to the Golden Core, which is actually already considered a Divine Artifact.

Even among the core descendants of noble families, unless they are Golden Core powerhouses, few have the qualifications to wield a Third-Grade Spiritual Artifact.

Gao Xuan didn't use any other modification materials, he just directly used the Crimson Sun Golden Crystal to elevate the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade to Third Grade, which completely defies the existing theory of Artifact Refining.

Yet, Gao Xuan actually succeeded.

The Demon-Sundering Arm Blade and the Sea of Source Power achieved a deep resonance, a sign of powerful Source Power mastery.

More importantly, the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade exhibited Spiritual vitality.

Third-Grade Spirit Transformation. Reaching the Third-Grade level leads to the emergence of Spiritual vitality. This is also a rigid standard for Third-Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

Through ritual upgrading, the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade suddenly came to life.

It's like a wooden chair suddenly taking root and sprouting. Anyone would conclude that this chair has come to life…

Although this Spiritual vitality is close to instinct and lacks wisdom, it is crucial for a magical artifact.

Because with Spiritual vitality, with constant investment of Source Power for ritual refinement, the magical artifact will naturally grow stronger. This is absolutely impossible for artifacts below the Third Grade.

It's like a sapling, with continuous watering and fertilization, it has the chance to grow into a towering tree.

No matter how meticulously a rock is polished, it can never grow.

Huo Fengwu frozen and then excitedly shouted, "Wow, you really did it, amazing, amazing!"

Although Huo Fengwu is from a noble family, her personality is a bit wild, and she runs a studio, constantly interacting with people from all walks of life, so her speech is quite down-to-earth.

She cupped her fists at Gao Xuan and said, "Big brother, I bow to you."

Speaking, Huo Fengwu gave Gao Xuan a deep bow. She straightened up, her face glowing with excitement and said, "No, you're my uncle, Uncle Hei, Uncle Hu..."

Gao Xuan donned the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade, and the Dark Gold Gloves naturally fit his palm. Eventually, it seeped into the depths of Gao Xuan's skin.

From the outside, the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade was no longer visible.

This is the Spirituality of the Third-Grade Spiritual Artifact, making its mastery more fluid and offering more refined changes.

Gao Xuan, face full of pride, waved his hand and said, "Niece, rise."

Seeing Gao Xuan showing off, Huo Fengwu wasn't angry at all; she wore a fawning smile on her face: "Uncle, you're just too awesome…"

She moved closer to Gao Xuan, obsessively eyeing his left hand.

Though she couldn't see the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade, just thinking about the Third-Grade Demon-Sundering Arm Blade being hidden in Gao Xuan's hand filled her with excitement.

If she could refine a Third-Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Divine Fire Studio could immediately become the industry leader.

What prestige that would bring!

Of course, the prerequisite is to keep Gao Xuan. Array Design Maps are static, while people are dynamic.

This guy Gao Xuan's brain is even more valuable, more important.

Huo Fengwu was very excited; she didn't know how to recruit Gao Xuan. Right now, she was truly willing to offer herself, but considering Yuan Youyuan was so beautiful, offering herself didn't seem like much of an attraction.

However, as men always like something fresh, if this boss offers herself, he should still like it.

With this thought, Huo Fengwu's beautiful phoenix eyes displayed additional charm.

She softly said to Gao Xuan, "I always knew you were not a fish in a pond, didn't expect you to soar so quickly, truly happy for you..."

Gao Xuan cautiously stepped back: "Sister, I can give you the design map, but I can't just give you my body..."
