BXBX NOVEL Chapter 559 Pushing One's Self
As a notification sound echoed throughout his mind, the young man went ahead and threw the spear he had just forged into the air and nodded in satisfaction. Moving a bit away from the anvil, he then did a few basic movements with it, also feeling great satisfaction with it in that regard.
"The weight of the spear is just right," said the young man to himself with a nod. "The balance of the spear is great as well."
"Definitely a massive upgrade compared to the metal spear he\'s been using." At these words, the young man activated [Greater Analysis] without hesitation, nodding every once in a while as he read through its description.
"[True Prodigious Equipment Attribute Awakening]." Then, once he was done reading through it, Valyr closed the screen in front of him before infusing the spear with his mana to awaken its attributes.
Thanks to his other forging skills being upgraded to their very limits, it did not take long for the young man to obtain the result he wanted, which was an awakening of all three attributes at their highest scaling.
After all, since he wanted his friend to get the best weapon he could possibly craft at the moment, he was going to make sure he went all out in every aspect.
"Now, let\'s take a look at it in its full glory." Once he had enhanced the spear to the current level Wells was at, the young man activated [Greater Analysis] once again, smiling with glee as he looked at the fruits of his labor.

Though it might look like a simple spear based on its exterior, the materials used in the creation of this spear have been awakened by an incredibly prodigious blacksmith to the fullest, squeezing out every ounce of latent potential that slumbered within it.
With the blacksmith putting all of his focus and care into the creation of this spear, imbuing the properties of the artifact \'Hammer of Beginnings\' into it, this spear achieves a level of strength that only a few could match, most of which are weapons that originate from the oldest of legends.
<Innate Skill 1: Azure Cross - Allows the user to attack in a horizontal arc, dealing damage equivalent to 250% of the user\'s Attack stat. Has an incredibly small chance to deal triple damage. Cooldown: 2 minutes. Cost: 3,000 MP.>
<Innate Skill 2: Ignited Vigor - Increases the user\'s Attack stat by 8%>
Remarks: The entire world would go on a massacre just to get their hands on such a weapon.

"I\'m certain Wells will be ecstatic to get his hands on it once he sees this." Letting out a slight chuckle as he briefly thought about what-ifs, Valyr went ahead and wrapped the finished spear in a thick fabric.
Then, once he was sure that the fabric wouldn\'t unfurl at any moment, he placed the spear to the side for the meantime, focusing his thoughts on the next piece of equipment he was going to forge.
"Braum\'s armor set..." Just as he muttered these words to himself, an attendant inadvertently interrupted his train of thought, informing him that the materials he had ordered beforehand had finally arrived.
Though he let out a faint sigh in response to the interruption, the young man received the materials nevertheless. After all, these materials were practically the most important materials he had obtained from the guild out of the bunch.
\'As well as the most expensive.\' Moving all of the materials he had received for the meantime, the young man headed back to the anvil as he returned to his initial train of thought.
"I guess it would make sense for me to use [Breath of Earth] on this one." Even though he already a general idea of how he was going to forge the armor set, there were still a couple of things Valyr could modify about it.
With such a thought in mind, he decided to focus on improving the armor set\'s defense while still making it lightweight, relying on the element of Earth to achieve such a feat.
"[Breath of Earth]." As the energy being emanated by his hammer changed to feel like one was looking at a massive mountain, the young man started the forging process for Braum\'s armor by chucking in the materials he needed to hammer into the furnace.
"I\'ll start with the pauldrons and the vambraces first." Planning out how he was going to go through the entire armor set, the young man allowed the thoughts in his mind to linger as he waited for the items in the furnace to reach their optimal temperature.
"After that would be the greaves and the chestplate." Valyr nodded to himself, the expression on his face exuding great determination. "And then, I\'ll save the helmet and the boots for last."
"I wonder how long it\'ll take me to finish all of these pieces?" Asking this question to himself, the young man let out a bit of laughter as he thought about the buffs he had gained that were related to reducing forging time.
"I guess half a day, tops," said the young man, confident that he would be able to pull such a feat off.
However, as if the world wanted to play a prank on him...
It took him more than double that time.
...
"Hello?" Making his way deeper into the Blacksmith Guild, Braum scratched the back of his head as he wondered where Valyr was. After all, he and the young man agreed that the two of them would meet up at the guild\'s entrance early in the morning...
Yet the latter was nowhere to be found.
"Valyr? Are you there?" Feeling a bit of concern for Valyr, the man inwardly let out a sigh of relief once he noticed a familiar face taking a rest in one of the guild\'s private workshops. However, as he took a closer look, his expression turned into worry, dashing towards the young man he had just seen.
"Valyr!"
