The speed at which natural lightning from heaven and earth strikes is countless times faster than lightning controlled by a Lightning System mage. No one on the field even had time to react before that bolt of green lightning struck the heavy sword.
"Ah!" Vicente screamed, and green flames erupted violently all over his body, even mixing with a trace of silvery-white flame.
*Clang!* The heavy sword fell to the ground.
But Vicente himself also collapsed to the side, his entire body convulsing continuously. His right arm was especially badly burned, even emitting the smell of charred flesh. Vicente lay on the ground, still twitching, blood spurting from his mouth.
"Father." Meteorite and Terei cried out in alarm and immediately rushed over.
"Mr. Vicente." Lin Lei, Monroe Dawson, and the others were also greatly shocked.
The power of lightning descending from the heavens was terrifyingly powerful; it was not unheard of for even powerful warriors to be struck dead by lightning. The group immediately gathered around, and Monroe Dawson shouted loudly, "Quick, get Mr. Amanda here, hurry!"
Amanda was a Light System mage under Monroe Dawson's command, also well-versed in pharmacology. He was very skilled at saving lives.
"Yes."
The guards at the entrance had also seen what happened, and he immediately panicked and went to fetch Mage Amanda.
Mage Amanda arrived quickly. The old man with snow-white beard, without asking anything else, directly cast a Light System magic. Vicente's completely charred right arm began to recover at a visible, rapid speed. Soon, not a trace of injury remained.
"I... I'm fine," Vicente managed to say with difficulty.
"How is the interior?" Mage Amanda asked directly.
For powerful warriors, performing internal inspection was entirely possible. This was more accurate than a mage judging based on external symptoms.
Vicente shook his head. "It's nothing. It will heal after some time."
"My father's injuries, Mr. Amanda, you need not worry about them," Meteorite also said directly.
These two sentences caused Monroe Dawson, as well as Yeru, Lin Lei, Rein, George, and the others to feel puzzled. They could all see that Vicente was very weak at the moment. Vicente was a very powerful warrior. Being so weak now definitely meant it was no minor issue.
Lin Lei suddenly remembered an introduction about Purple Flame Warriors in his family's books.
Purple Flame Warriors who reached the Saint Realm possessed the ability of Nirvana Rebirth. Under normal circumstances, no matter how severe the injury, they could recover at an astonishing speed.
"This Master Vicente is only at the green flame level, having just stepped into the silvery-white flame realm. He is still far from the highest 'Purple Flame'. He shouldn't have the ability of Nirvana Rebirth yet, but his ability to heal injuries should still exist," Lin Lei understood.
The Four Great Ultimate Warriors.
The Dragon Blood Warrior was probably the most powerful in combat ability, the Purple Flame Warrior was famous for 'Purple Flame' and 'Nirvana Rebirth', the Tiger Stripe Warrior was famous for 'speed' and 'attack'. As for the Undying Warrior, they were famous for 'strength' and 'defense'.
"Uncle Dawson, Master Vicente has secret methods for healing injuries. He doesn't need to take those potions," Lin Lei also said.
Monroe Dawson nodded and spoke to Mage Amanda. Mage Amanda gave Vicente some instructions and then left first. As for Vicente, he lay down and rested for about ten minutes, and his complexion looked much better.
Lin Lei couldn't help but sigh; the Purple Flame Warrior family's ability to heal injuries was truly formidable.
"Lin Lei, the heavy sword." As soon as Vicente felt a bit better, he became anxious about the heavy sword. "Quick, let me see. I hope the heavy sword wasn't damaged by the strike."
At this point, the group finally noticed the heavy sword that had been thrown aside. Taking a look, they were shocked. The originally pitch-black heavy sword now had a faint green halo on its surface, as if a layer of green ice had condensed on it.
"Let me see," Vicente immediately said.
Lin Lei grabbed the heavy sword and immediately handed it to Vicente. Among this group, probably only Vicente had the most expertise in weaponry.
Vicente, whose injuries hadn't fully healed yet, even found it somewhat difficult to lift this heavy sword. He only propped the tip on the ground and held the hilt. With a solemn expression, Vicente's left hand began to tap along the sword's surface.
*Peng!* *Peng!* *Peng!*
Clear tapping sounds rang out continuously. Vicente's tapping force grew stronger and stronger, and the sounds also became louder. He tapped various areas of the entire sword, constantly shifting his tapping points.
Vicente himself listened intently to the sounds.
Lin Lei, Monroe Dawson, and the others beside him held their breath. They understood that Vicente was likely examining whether this heavy sword had undergone any changes after being struck by lightning. After all, the lightning strike happened just after the quenching process was completed.
*Ding—*
With a light flick of his finger, the entire heavy sword produced a pleasant sound. Hearing that nearly perfect, rounded tone, Vicente's face showed wild joy.
"Heaven's will, heaven's will."
Vicente's face was full of ecstasy as he looked at Lin Lei. "Lin Lei, this is heaven wanting you to obtain this divine sword!"
"Mr. Vicente, what happened to this heavy sword?" Monroe Dawson immediately asked.
Vicente explained, "When using Black Jade Stone for forging, the hardest part is fully utilizing the properties of the Black Jade Stone. After all, the other materials are several grades lower. Although my family's secret formula can increase the fusion level between the other materials and the Black Jade Stone, it can't possibly reach a hundred percent."
"That is to say, the material composition of the heavy sword I just successfully forged is not completely uniform throughout; there are still slight differences."
Vicente's face was full of disbelief. "But I never imagined, just as I finished quenching, that bolt of lightning struck. This lightning actually caused the materials inside this heavy sword to fuse perfectly. The properties of the Black Jade Stone were utilized to a hundred percent. I simply cannot believe such a thing could happen. Truly heaven's will, heaven's will!"
