Chapter 3708: Melting
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio"I could fix it."
After hearing Fang Heng’s words, the entire secret room fell into a brief silence.
Feng Tiya stared at Fang Heng, wondering if she had misheard.
He could fix it?!
The two sea race priests behind Feng Tiya showed even more astonished expressions.
They had followed Feng Tiya for at least a thousand years and had seen hundreds of artifact masters who came to inspect the Sea God’s Trident.
Without exception, all of them shook their heads and sighed after examining it, saying it was beyond help.
Yet he actually said he could repair it?
One priest could not help but ask, "Mr. Fang Heng, are you sure?"
"Of course, I’m sure."
Feng Tiya said, "Fang Heng, I will immediately arrange whatever materials you need for the repair. Also, do you need other artifact assistants to help?"
"No, that won’t be necessary, and I’m in a hurry," Fang Heng waved his hand. Staring at the sealed Sea God’s Trident, he said, "I already have a repair plan. If you don’t mind, we can start now."
What the hell!
Is this guy insane?!
The two priests felt their heads were about to explode, and both stepped forward almost at the same time.
"Your Majesty!"
The older sea priest spoke first, kneeling on one knee. "The repair of the Sea God’s Trident is of utmost importance and requires long-term planning. If we rashly remove the seal for repair, the rate of god corrosion will greatly increase and cause even more damage to the Sea God’s Trident."
There had once been a half-baked artifact master who confidently claimed he could repair the Sea God’s Trident. As a result, after the seal was removed, not only was it not repaired, but it also suffered permanent damage due to god corrosion.
Of course, that artifact master had then faced the wrath of the Sea King and ultimately became food for deep-sea monsters.
In the eyes of the two priests, Fang Heng was far too young, and his words were hard to trust, seeming nothing but arrogance.
The other priest quickly added, anxiety appearing on her face, "Your Majesty, starting the repair without any preparation at all... this is too reckless."
"What if something goes wrong..."
"Enough."
Feng Tiya raised her hand, interrupting them.
Her gaze remained on Fang Heng for a moment.
Feng Tiya, as the successor of the Sea God and ruler of the Tide of Eternal Night deep sea, was not an impulsive person. On the contrary, she always made decisions after careful consideration.
In fact, after her defeat against Fang Heng in the Martial Apex Tournament, she had spent a long time reviewing all available intelligence about him.
She discovered a terrifying fact.
Fang Heng was not even as old as the attendants by her side.
The priests and attendants around her had lived for thousands of years and cultivated for countless years to reach their current positions.
And Fang Heng?
Only decades.
In such a short time, he had grown from an ordinary human to someone capable of confronting her directly and even defeating her.
When Feng Tiya first learned this, she even suspected she had read the information wrong.
More importantly, she discovered that Fang Heng had clashed directly with the God Clan and was still alive.
Just how troublesome the God Clan was, Feng Tiya knew very well.
Her own ancestor had been defeated by the God Clan, and even the Sea God’s Trident had been nearly destroyed in that war.
Fang Heng surviving the God Clan’s targeting was not simply luck.
Feng Tiya had already decided earlier to provide Fang Heng with the god-level advancement method without compensation, precisely because she valued his potential. She had even considered the possibility of cooperating with him in the future to deal with the God Clan.
"No need to say more. I’ve made my decision."
Feng Tiya looked at Fang Heng. "Since you have a plan, then start immediately."
This...
The two priests did not understand why Feng Tiya was trusting an outsider so much today.
They exchanged glances, opened their mouths, but ultimately swallowed their objections and stepped back into the corners of the secret room.
Even so, their attention remained fully locked on Fang Heng, staying on high alert in case anything went wrong so they could immediately reseal the Sea God’s Trident.
"No need to be so nervous."
Fang Heng glanced at the two tense priests, finding it somewhat amusing, and casually waved his hand as he walked toward the Sea God’s Trident. "Who said we have to remove the outer seal to repair it? If we maintain the seal’s circulation during the repair process, there’s no need to worry about god corrosion causing further damage."
"Hm?"
What did he mean?
Was he saying he would repair it without breaking the seal?
The two sea priests were stunned and then saw Fang Heng extend his hand toward the sealed Sea God’s Trident.
"Chi, chi chi..."
Spiritual power flowed out from Fang Heng’s palm, condensing into an invisible cone that pierced toward the outer seal of the Sea God’s Trident!
What?!
The two sea priests immediately noticed the abnormality, and their expressions changed drastically.
He was directly penetrating the seal with spiritual power?!
Has he gone mad?!
They were about to act, but suddenly stopped.
What was happening?
They could clearly "see" Fang Heng’s spiritual power forming a soft spike, slipping through the gaps of the sealing formation.
The entire process did not affect the outer seal at all!
How did he do that?!
These seals were layered defensive systems built by successive generations of sea god priests. Normally, any spiritual power would be repelled the moment it touched the surface.
One had to either remove the seal or forcibly break it.
They had never seen anyone like Fang Heng, who could slip into the seal through its microscopic gaps!
How was that even possible?
Feng Tiya also watched Fang Heng with a solemn expression.
This level of precision was extremely difficult to achieve.
It required not only god-level sealing arts, but also terrifying control over spiritual power.
It worked.
Fang Heng nodded inwardly.
His spiritual power quickly passed through the outer seal and reached the surface of the Sea God’s Trident.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, the power within the trident was triggered, and the entire weapon burst into blue light. A force mixed with Sea God energy and god corrosion aura surged back toward his spiritual power, wildly attempting to shred it.
Fang Heng had already anticipated this and curled his lips slightly, immediately changing his technique.
The invading spiritual power instantly transformed into a holy aura.
In an instant, the trident’s attacking force froze.
The shared origin of power caused the god corrosion energy to fail in distinguishing friend from foe, and it stopped attacking Fang Heng’s spiritual intrusion.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Feng Tiya and the two priests were shocked to see dark golden patterns emerging on the Sea God’s Trident, slowly merging into the weapon through its cracks.
The two priests exchanged glances and then looked toward Feng Tiya.
What was that?
He got through?
Fang Heng’s spiritual power had so easily entered the Sea God’s Trident?
How?!
And why were they sensing a familiar, shared origin of power from those dark golden patterns on the Sea God’s Trident?
