"Well," Mo Hua thought for a moment and said, "how’s the quality? Are there areas that need improvement...?"
Ouyang Mu was about to respond but hesitated and cautiously asked instead:
"Brother Mo, who designed this sword diagram?"
Mo Hua blinked and vaguely replied:
"I asked someone within the sect... a Foundation Establishment Middle Phase junior brother who’s somewhat knowledgeable about artifact refining to design it..."
Ouyang Mu breathed a sigh of relief and began to critique:
"It’s a complete mess."
Mo Hua felt a small pang in his heart.
He had carefully crafted this sword diagram after consulting numerous spirit sword blueprints and incorporating sword formations, "meticulously" designing it.
Only to have Little Wood condemn it as "a complete mess"...
Ouyang Mu didn’t notice Mo Hua’s expression and continued, "It should be the work of an amateur... not a total amateur, more like someone half-knowledgeable, half-competent..."
Mo Hua’s eyelid twitched as he took a deep breath and said, "Then tell me, how should it be adjusted?"
Ouyang Mu, fully engrossed in the topic, immediately took out paper and pen and began drawing modifications for Mo Hua on the spot.
"First of all, the materials for the spirit sword aren’t ideal."
"Spirit swords belong to the Golden Series, so using materials from gold-series monster beasts is generally correct. However, some of these materials have poor fusion compatibility and are bad at conducting spiritual power."
"Furthermore, with Five Elements Generation and Restraint, there is both ’Restraint’ and ’Generation.’"
"For gold-series spirit swords, it’s not always necessary to use entirely gold-series materials. Within the Five Elements, Earth generates Gold, so incorporating certain earth-series monster beast materials could have an eye-catching effect..."
"That’s the issue with materials. Next is the design."
"The shape of this spirit sword clashes."
"For spirit swords meant for close combat and killing, the materials need to be rigid, the blade sharp, striving to cut through hair and slice iron as though mud..."
"If it’s more focused on Sword Qi attacks, the sword body should be lighter, and the spiritual power conduction must be excellent..."
"This sword is heavy, yet the materials are subpar—not hard enough, and the spiritual power conductivity is also poor..."
"As for the sword formation segment, although it’s open source, judging by the formation medium layer left inside, this sword formation and this spirit sword have zero compatibility."
"The sword is just a sword, and the sword formation is just a sword formation—they have nothing to do with each other."
"This simply won’t work. Only when the sword weapon is compatible with the sword formation will the swordsmanship’s full potential be unleashed..."
