Regret

The Military Fire burned again, and the last unique material was slowly made into an arm guard.

Ou Yangming focused and turned his wrist slowly, causing the nine-ringed saber's purple light ring in his sea of consciousness to release an intense light to leave a mark on the arm guard. Nonetheless, the arm guard was unwilling to accept it, or perhaps its material did not allow it to accommodate the light's energy at all. Therefore, the arm guard vibrated slightly as though it was enduring immense distress.

At last, a "pop" was heard as the arm guard fractured, then it vanished in the fire without leaving any trace.

Ou Yangming curbed the Military Fire and sighed helplessly.

He seemed to have used up his luck after he successfully smithed the Charm Arm Guard because even after attempting with several special materials in a row, he failed to engrave the nine-ringed saber's purple light ring.

It was as if a mysterious power was vaguely hindering him.
