To be able to address Ding Zhan in such a tone, the person who spoke should be a super expert of the same level as him.

Seeing how noisy everyone was, Wang Yi did not speak. He only shook his head gently, but the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

The might the weapon displayed had given them a fright!

When Ding Zhan heard this, he couldn’t wait. He also wanted to test the power of his newly obtained weapon.

His gaze swept across the various treasures piled up like mountains. Ding Zhan hesitated for a moment before preparing to walk out of the treasure vault.

Venerable Ning Jing seemed to know what the other party was doing. She casually waved her jade-like hand, and surging true qi instantly surged out, forming an ice barrier in the center of the treasure vault.

After doing all of this, Venerable Ning Jing said with a smile, “You can enter the barrier to test its power. There’s no need to worry about damaging the treasure vault.”

Ding Zhan did not hesitate when he heard this. He held the scarlet spear in one hand and entered the barrier in a flash.

To be honest, Ding Zhan also wanted to see how much his combat power could be increased by the weapon in his hand.

After all, although he could sense the extremely terrifying energy fluctuations contained in the spear, he could not determine its exact power unless he personally tested it.

Moreover, they were not Forging Masters. They could not understand the specific use of the three types of array patterns that Wang Yi had engraved, nor could they determine the power of the weapon based on the array patterns.

Under everyone’s expectant gazes, Ding Zhan held his spear tightly with both hands. He did not use any combat techniques. All his strength was gathered in his arms and he smashed it fiercely at the ice barrier in front of him.

Boom!

Crack!

As soon as the spear made contact with the ice barrier, Ding Zhan’s burly body was fiercely sent flying back by the powerful recoil.

Everyone felt that this was very normal. After all, it was a barrier set up by a Lord Venerable.

It was not impossible for one to die from the shock, let alone be sent flying.

However, among the crowd, Venerable Ning Jing’s expression changed slightly. Others might not have noticed it, but she could sense it clearly.

There were some subtle cracks on the ice barrier where the spear had struck.

Venerable Ning Jing looked at Wang Yi strangely. This was a little terrifying.

Ding Zhan was only half a step away from advancing. As long as the opportunity appeared, he could immediately break through to the Connate Realm.

However, this half-step was the difference between heaven and earth. As long as one was still in the nine-rank system, they would be worlds apart from the Connate Realm.

Although she had casually set up this ice barrier, it was not inferior to the full power of a Connate Level-1 expert.

However, someone could actually leave some cracks in the ice barrier with just a weapon.

Although it was very subtle, the meaning was different. This meant that by relying on high-level weapons, the super experts in the nine-rank system also had a chance to resist Connate Realm experts.

But it was a long shot.

Although he was sent flying, there was no pain or discomfort on Ding Zhan’s face.

Gripping the spear tightly with both hands, his expression became even more excited.

This weapon was strong!

It was really strong!

It was so strong that Ding Zhan even felt afraid. The moment he swung his spear, he felt that his strength had increased by at least 20 to 30 times.

Impossible!

That was Ding Zhan’s first reaction.

It was normal for a weapon to be able to increase a martial artist’s strength, but most of them could only increase one’s strength by 10 to 20%. For most people, their weapon would increase their strength by at most 50 to 60%.

Even if it was the masterpiece of those famous master-level Forging Masters, their strength would at most double.

If not for the fact that the spear was in his hand, Ding Zhan would never believe that there was actually a weapon that could increase a martial artist’s strength by 20 to 30 times.

Everyone saw that Ding Zhan was acting like a fool. He hugged his spear and did not say anything. He just laughed foolishly.

After a while, someone finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. He stood up and said loudly, “Brother Ding, stop being so happy.”

“Quick, tell us how powerful this weapon is. What’s its level? We’re all very curious!”

Ding Zhan suddenly came back to his senses when he heard this. A solemn expression appeared on his face, and he could not help but mutter to himself.

“Power? Level?”

Because his emotions had fluctuated too much just now, he did not calculate how much his power had increased after he struck with all his might.

However, even so, he could sense that the increase in strength was at least 20 to 30 times. The sharpness of the weapon should have also increased by 20 to 30 times.

Most importantly, he also sensed a Yang attribute power that was not inferior to the increase in strength. It burned as fiercely as the sun as if it could burn all evil and filth in the world.

If he had to say how powerful this spear was, it could only be said to be very terrifying.

However, if he were to provide detailed data about the increase in strength, he could only say that he needed to retest the weapon and seriously deduce the results before coming to a conclusion.

As for its level…

Ding Zhan was fortunate enough to have come into contact with the Silver Frost Battle Sword. Comparing the two, it was obvious that the level of the spear had not entered the Connate Realm.

However, at the same time, based on the power of the spear and its terrifying enhancement ability, it had already far exceeded any top-notch weapon he knew.

It was really difficult for Ding Zhan to determine the level of the spear in his hand.

However, before Ding Zhan could say anything, Venerable Ning Jing spoke first. She cupped her fists at Wang Yi and said with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Wang’s methods are indeed extraordinary.”

“The weapon that you have forged can actually allow living beings who are still in the nine-rank system to possess the ability to threaten the Connate Realm.”

“I’m impressed! I’m impressed!”

When Wang Yi heard this, he waved his hand and said with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Ning Jing, you’re too polite. It’s just a small trick. It’s not surprising.”

The corners of Venerable Ning Jing’s mouth could not help but twitch slightly. Fortunately, she was used to Wang Yi’s words, so her mental state was not affected.

The two of them spoke casually, but to the grandmasters present, this was definitely not inferior to a Level-18 earthquake. Everyone’s hearts were in turmoil.

To them, the Connate Realm and Rank-9 were worlds apart.

Immortals were high and mighty, and they looked down on the mortal world. They were immortal and indestructible. They were simply legends.

Meanwhile, mortals were only worthy of looking up at the immortals in the heavens above.

But now, someone actually told them that mortals only needed the enhancement of a single weapon to have the ability to hurt those immortals who lived in the heavens above.

If it weren’t for the fact that Venerable Ning Jing was the one who said that, these grandmasters would have already started cursing.

They would definitely teach the other party an unforgettable lesson and let her experience the terrifying consequences of teasing a grandmaster.

But now that the truth was right in front of them, they had no choice but to believe it.
