At first glance, the nail refined by Jin Quan was a dark cyan color. If one stared at it for a moment, they would be able to see extremely thin golden lines within the dark cyan. ↑
When the nail was rotated in a circle under the light, it was overflowing with light and color. The golden lines crisscrossed, forming an incomparably gorgeous pattern.
It was as if the nail was wrapped in a layer of scales of a powerful demon beast.
"Dragon Scale Scattering!"
"Teacher Jin actually used the Dragon Scale Scattering Technique to refine this nail into a Dragon Scale Nail!"
A chubby boy couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
He was Jin Quan's most loyal admirer. Just now, when he saw his idol suffer, his heart felt as if it was being scratched by a monkey's paw.
When Jin Quan refined the Dragon Scale Nail, he finally let out a long sigh of relief and beamed with joy.
"Dragon Scale Scattering" was a secret technique of the Empyrean Terminus Sect. When refining some relatively simple basic components, the Dragon Scale Scattering Technique would be used to cover the surface with a layer of dragon-scale-like structure. Using the principles of bionics, the components would become stronger and more powerful.
If a nail refined from the same raw material was strengthened by the Dragon Scale Scattering Technique, its strength would increase by at least five times!
"Teacher Jin is really too awesome. I originally thought that only the senior refiners of the Empyrean Terminus Sect could use the Dragon Scale Scattering Technique. I didn't expect that Teacher Jin would be able to master it in his twenties!"
"That's right. Teacher Jin's appearance when refining is so handsome, unlike this weirdo. When refining, he looks like a madman with cramps."
"Even if he's a madman with cramps, he didn't refine anything special. Isn't it just an ordinary nail? I can do it too! "
In a flash, Jin Quan's image in the hearts of the youths once again rose.
Refiners were a profession that paid the most attention to practice. So what if they talked about it with their mouths?
In the end, it all depended on one's skill!
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and swept a glance at the Dragon Scale Nail in Jin Quan's hand. The corner of his mouth moved. He didn't say anything.
His pupils contracted to the limit as they emitted two needle-like rays of light.
He also admitted that this was a top-grade nail.
Elder Lei Yongming also grabbed the Dragon Scale Nail, rubbed it a few times, and tossed it. He also didn't say anything as he silently returned the Dragon Scale Nail to Jin Quan.
Jin Quan saw that Li Yao was speechless. He thought that he had admitted defeat, so he became even more complacent. The prestige that had just been beaten down came back in a swirl of dust. His handsome face burned a little. He laughed and said,
"Junior Brother Li, the crafting furnace you modified is really good. The operation is quite smooth, and the flow of spiritual energy is not hindered in the slightest. The placement of raw materials and the mixing of cooling liquid are also very handy."
"But according to the rules. We still need to test the performance of the two components we've refined. As long as there aren't too many flaws, we'll be fine! "
"We are both refining nails. Of course, there are a lot of magical equipment and testing instruments to test the performance of the nails. However, these testing methods are too time-consuming and laborious. It will take us a day and a half to come to a conclusion."
"I believe in your school's strength. There were still so many students waiting here, so why waste time? How about this? Let's use our nails to collide at high speed. Through the sound of the collision, the flash and the wave, as well as the wear and tear after the collision, we can roughly see the performance of the nail. "
"However, this kind of 'collision test' requires at least three to five collisions to reach a conclusion. I wonder if your nail can withstand three to five collisions with my dragon scale nail?"
"If you don't have the confidence, then forget it. We'll still use the conventional testing method. It'll just take a little more time. "
Li Yao stared blankly for a moment. The corner of his mouth carried a hint of coldness.
In the circle of refiners, the 'collision test' was a relatively common testing method. It was suitable for some basic components with simple structures that had higher requirements for hardness and strength.
In a high-speed collision, the collision of components would erupt with sound, sparks and shock waves. An experienced refiner could roughly judge the performance of the component.
However, Jin Quan suddenly proposed to use the collision test method. Obviously, he was harboring malicious intentions.
In the depths of Li Yao's pupils, the flames were burning more and more fiercely. He also wanted to know how his strength was. He clenched his teeth and nodded.
"Sure. Although my nail is ordinary, it can withstand three to five collisions with the dragon scale nail. It won't be a problem."
"He took the bait!"
Jin Quan was excited.
He firmly believed that this crafting furnace was made by Yuan Manqiu.
It would be very difficult to pick out a bone from the egg of the "Deep Sea Goddess"!
However, Jin Quan had absolute confidence in the dragon scale nail he refined. He thought that there was no need to collide three to five times. As long as it hit once, it would explode Li Yao's rotten nail!
In this way, he could more or less vent out his resentment and save some face. At the same time, he could let everyone see Li Yao's true face.
Elder Lei Yongming raised his white eyebrows and deeply gazed at Jin Quan. His expression was very complicated. He suddenly said, "Jin Quan, since you want to use the collision test method, it's not suitable for you to do it. Let me do it!"
Jin Quan was stunned and then he was wild with joy.
How could the old man not see through his little thoughts? Not only did he not stop him, he even added fuel to the fire?
Could it be that the old man also saw that Li Yao was just a boastful fanatic, so he wanted to teach him a small lesson?
The more Jin Quan thought about it, the more reliable he felt. He happily picked up the dragon scale nail:
"Grand Master, please!"
Elder Lei Yongming stretched out his withered hands. His ten fingers slightly moved, and the two nails jumped from Li Yao and Jin Quan's hands as if they were pulled by invisible threads. They flew into the air!
Elder Lei Yongming's head full of silver hair stood erect. His whole body seemed to be surrounded by a layer of invisible static electricity. His ten fingers quickly flicked, and the two nails gradually pulled apart from each other. They faced each other twenty meters apart and started to rotate at high speed.
Under Yuan Manqiu's command, the high school students all retreated a dozen meters and stood behind a defensive array glyph.
This was the first time for many people to watch such an exciting collision test method. They whispered to each other and discussed spiritedly:
"How many times do you think the rotten nail refined by this weirdo can withstand the impact of the dragon scale nail?"
"At most five times?"
"Three times. I guess at most three times. The dragon scale nail's hardness is very high. I heard that some cultivators who are good at controlling objects specially bought a lot of dragon scale nails and used them as concealed weapons. They can even cut open the shell of demon beasts!"
"Will it bend this weirdo's nail in one hit?"
"That should be … impossible. This weirdo still has some strength. No matter what, his nail can withstand two hits from the dragon scale nail!"
Jin Quan crossed his arms like a spring breeze caressing his face. He was immensely proud of himself.
He seemed to be looking up at the two nails, but most of his mind was on Li Yao.
When the pitch-black rotten nail exploded, he didn't want to miss any trace of astonishment, embarrassment, or shame on Li Yao's face!
Li Yao, on the other hand, was staring at the sky with rapt attention. His two fists were tightly clenched, and thick blue veins once again appeared. He was very nervous.
"Hiss, hiss!"
Elder Lei Yongming's telepathic thoughts moved. The two nails rotated to the limit. They rubbed against the air and issued an ear-piercing screech!
Suddenly, Elder Lei Yongming's eyes opened wide and emitted a dazzling brilliance. It was as if two crystal searchlights were suddenly turned on!
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
A white mist appeared in front of the two nails.
It was the sound barrier!
The two nails broke through the sound barrier!
At two times the speed of sound, the distance of twenty meters was covered in a flash. The two nails fiercely collided!
Everyone had yet to hear the sound when they saw a multicolored ball of light suddenly expand. Immediately after, something disintegrated and shot out.
Several fragments hit the defensive array glyphs, issuing a "crackling" sound.
Only at this moment did they hear the deafening sound of an explosion, the sound of high-speed friction that made one's teeth ache, and the sound of one of the nails exploding!
"Ah, it exploded!"
"Li Yao's nail didn't even manage to withstand one hit before it was blown apart by the dragon scale nail!"
"That's too bad. Just a moment ago, I thought he was an expert with consummate skills. Obviously, he spoke so many theories in a clear and logical manner! "
"What's the use of talking about extravagant theories? If he can't even refine a nail, how can he be a refiner! "
"That's right. Although the hardness of our Empyrean Terminus Sect's dragon scale nail is a bit high, an ordinary nail can at least withstand three to five hits!"
"Isn't it too shameful to explode in one hit?"
Li Yao's mysterious and unfathomable image collapsed in the hearts of the youngsters. They were thoroughly reduced to a theorist who only knew how to talk big.
Oh. He was a theorist with a lot of strength.
"Haha, it exploded in 0.1 seconds. It's even weaker than I thought!"
Jin Quan bit his tongue and resisted the urge to laugh as he looked at Li Yao's face.
He didn't expect this madman's face to be so thick. Not the least bit of expression could be seen. His pair of eyes seemed to be polished from black crystal. They sparkled as he gazed pensively at the sky.
"Pretend, you keep pretending!"
Jin Quan was in high spirits. Just as he was about to open his mouth, two screams suddenly came from behind him. It was that chubby boy.
During the collision, some of the nail fragments sputtered onto the defensive array glyphs and bounced off, landing not too far away from him.
In a moment of excitement, the little fatty laid on the ground with his big butt sticking out and scooped up the fragments.
What he didn't know, however, was that the nail had accumulated a large amount of heat during the high-speed rotation and collision. As if it was burning red, a string of blisters suddenly appeared on his fingers.
That was the first cry of alarm.
The second scream came from the little fatty's incomparably horrified discovery that the fragment on the ground was dark green in color. It was covered with thin golden lines, as if it was covered with a layer of dragon scales.
It was actually a fragment of the dragon scale nail!
Could it be that during the high-speed collision, the object that exploded in an instant was actually … a dragon! Scale! Nail!
The little fatty was dumbstruck. He sat on the ground with his legs spread apart and stared blankly at the fragment of the dragon scale nail. He even completely forgot about the piercing pain on his fingertips.
His mouth opened wider and wider as his small tongue swayed in his throat.
"Li Sanhao, what's wrong?"
One after another, the students noticed the little fatty's abnormality and all surrounded him.
The little fatty blinked his eyes. His Adam's apple rolled for a long time, but he couldn't spit out a single word. He could only use his thick and short fingers to point shakily at the fragment of the dragon scale nail.
Half a second later, everyone fell into the same state of shock and speechlessness as the little fatty!
They looked at each other in dismay. No one dared to believe what they saw.
The most handsome, most confident, and most powerful Teacher Jin Quan in their hearts had actually lost, and lost so miserably?
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
Countless gazes simultaneously shot towards Jin Quan.
Everyone was looking forward to Jin Quan's reaction, a desperate counterattack!
