At this moment, the ember remains were still in the form of a small piece of mythril.
Mythril possessed extraordinary plasticity, allowing it to be forged into any shape according to a Jinhai Master's will.
Zhao Mu glanced at his hands.
He already wore three rings: the Silver Sword, the Amplification Jinhai, and the Tough Silk Ring.
Unlike Meng Qiuqiu, who enjoyed decorating every finger with rings, Zhao Mu preferred simplicity. Although Jinhai rings were extremely thin and lightweight, he still found too many of them inconvenient.
After a moment of consideration, he stretched the piece of mythril into a long, slender strip and forged it into a bracelet instead.
The finished product was a silver armlet with a half-open design that fit snugly around his forearm.
Once the forging process was complete, Zhao Mu slowly injected his Spiritual Ability into it.
Instantly, a powerful aura surged into his consciousness.
A thick scent of blood filled his senses.
The roar of endless flames echoed in his ears.
Countless fragments of murderous intent rushed toward him like a tidal wave.
It was the final resentment and ferocity of the Remnant Beast before its death.
However, Zhao Mu's expression remained completely calm.
His willpower, already tempered through countless battles and strengthened by the Demon Clown, easily suppressed the lingering aura.
After all, he had personally participated in killing that creature.
There was nothing for him to fear.
Moreover, because he had crafted this ember remains himself, the connection between the weapon and its creator was exceptionally strong.
The synchronization process was almost effortless.
A flash of black light appeared.
The next moment, a massive heavenly halberd materialized in Zhao Mu's hand.
The weapon was jet black from blade to shaft.
Blood-red patterns spread across its surface like flowing lava, giving it an intimidating and savage appearance.
As Zhao Mu gripped the weapon, he could feel its tremendous weight and power.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"This is the first weapon-type Jinhai I've ever created."
He gently stroked the blade.
"I'll call you... Extinguish Ember."
The name represented the origin of the weapon.
It had been forged from the remains of the Mutated Remnant Beast King that had been completely destroyed.
Extinguish Ember weighed approximately eighty jin.
For an ordinary person, such a weapon would be impossible to wield effectively.
But for Zhao Mu, whose body had been continuously strengthened, the weight was perfect.
It allowed him to fully unleash the advantages of his Innate Divine Strength.
After the final trial, Zhao Mu had gained a deeper understanding of his own path.
Many people believed that the human body was merely a vessel and that true power came from Spiritual Ability.
But Zhao Mu had discovered something different.
The physical body possessed limitless potential.
Thanks to the existence of the Demon Clown, he could continuously break through the natural limits of human physiology.
His strength, speed, endurance, and agility had already surpassed those of ordinary humans by a staggering margin.
Even though his official Combat Level was only Level 5, his true combat power was far greater.
If his body continued evolving without limits, perhaps one day he could rival the Human Race's legendary Dual Supremes and Four Pillars through physical strength alone.
The thought made his blood boil.
A rare excitement flashed through his eyes.
"Demon Clown."
"Begin synchronization."
A strange laugh echoed inside his mind.
"Hee-hee... haha..."
The Demon Clown appeared and hugged the proficiency badge tightly.
The words on the badge immediately began changing.
[Extinguish Ember]
Medium-Grade First-Rank Jinhai
Synchronization Rate: 35%
Zhao Mu's eyes widened slightly.
He had expected the weapon to be successful.
But he had never imagined that it would directly reach the Medium Grade level.
Generally speaking, Remnant Beasts below Level 100 rarely produced materials capable of creating Medium-Grade ember remains.
Only members of powerful advanced races possessed such potential.
This unexpected result was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.
Of course, Zhao Mu understood the reason behind it.
The Mutated Remnant Beast King itself was extraordinary.
More importantly, he had personally gathered the materials and completed the forging process from beginning to end.
The weapon's attributes matched his own perfectly.
That compatibility greatly increased the initial synchronization rate.
Thirty-five percent synchronization immediately after creation was already considered exceptional.
A smile appeared on Zhao Mu's face.
"Not bad."
"If I continue training with it and eventually raise the synchronization rate to one hundred percent, I wonder what kind of changes will occur."
His gaze lingered on Extinguish Ember.
There was a hint of affection in his eyes.
To a Jinhai Master, every creation was like a child.
Especially the first one.
Just as Zhao Mu was admiring his masterpiece, the door to the Engineering Department opened.
A familiar figure walked inside.
Liang Gongchi shuffled forward in her usual pair of flip-flops.
Her posture was relaxed and lazy, as though she had just woken up from a nap.
The moment she entered the room, her eyes landed on the black heavenly halberd.
She raised an eyebrow.
"Oh?"
"Where did you get a weapon-type ember remains like that?"
She pointed at Extinguish Ember.
"Weapon Jinhai are pretty rare on the market."
Zhao Mu smiled proudly.
"I made it myself."
Liang Gongchi took another step forward.
Then she froze.
Her entire body stiffened.
Slowly, she turned her head.
The expression on her face resembled someone who had just heard a completely absurd joke.
"You... made it yourself?"
"That's right."
Zhao Mu nodded naturally.
Like a child showing off a perfect test score, he presented the heavenly halberd to her.
"Teacher, could you help me evaluate it?"
"How did I do?"
Liang Gongchi stared at him silently.
Then she stared at the halberd.
Then she stared back at him again.
For a moment, she wondered whether she was hallucinating.
Finally, she asked in a dry voice:
"Where did you get the materials?"
"The final trial."
Zhao Mu answered honestly.
"Didn't you tell me to look for suitable materials there?"
"I worked really hard to kill that Mutated Remnant Beast."
Liang Gongchi's eyes widened.
Her brain nearly stopped functioning.
At the time, she had only said those words casually to get Zhao Mu out of her office.
She never expected him to take the suggestion seriously.
Much less succeed.
Even with her expertise, she could immediately tell that this was a high-quality first-rank Jinhai.
A Medium-Grade rating was more than deserved.
But now Zhao Mu was telling her that the materials had come from a beast he had personally hunted during the trial?
That was ridiculous.
Absolutely ridiculous.
A Combat Level 5 student hunting a Combat Level 30 monster?
What kind of monster was this kid?
