Inside the royal family forging hall, Lin Hao stood with a determined expression.
The room was sweltering, the heat from the molten metal making the air ripple. His personal forging assistants stood nearby, nervously watching him as he prepared to refine a King Rank sabre for Princess Chi Kai.
Failure was not an option.
Kent King had humiliated him by displaying a Peak King Rank sabre that felled seven massive trees in one strike.
Lin Hao gritted his teeth as he lifted a glowing hammer above his head.
"I will surpass Kent King! I refuse to lose to some self-taught fool!" he roared, bringing the hammer down with a deafening clang.
The metal block trembled, its molten surface twisting as sparks exploded in all directions.
For the next six hours, Lin Hao poured every ounce of his skill, knowledge, and mana into the blade.
Each strike of his hammer sent a wave of energy through the metal, shaping it into a fearsome sabre.
