Chapter 89: Set Effect
Lian Yun came to the Treasure Alliance to select materials because he felt that his crafted set was missing a crucial part: the gauntlets.
Although there was a high chance that Master Mo would confiscate them, Lian Yun didn’t mind too much. He simply hoped to perfect the first set of armor he had created.
After obtaining the materials, he took a three-day break before returning to the Treasure Shop to forge a pair of gauntlets. He arranged all his equipment neatly.
In truth, for weapons like swords and spears, having just one type would suffice. However, Lian Yun displayed all three types of weapons because he believed that the set Master Mo required might need to accommodate someone who could use any weapon.
It was likely a set that could be mass-produced for many users.
While helmets might seem less significant at times—since many choose to wear armor without a helmet during battles—this often reflects the perceived lesser importance of helmets in general situations.
However, from another perspective, if a helmet had substantial benefits, it could greatly enhance the overall effectiveness and value of an entire set.
Thus, Lian Yun planned to use the Ghost Battle Body form to give the helmet the ability to unify all pieces of equipment, allowing every component of the set to integrate seamlessly.
The idea was good, but Lian Yun's experience was still lacking. Therefore, he sought advice from the four masters again.
The four were intrigued by Lian Yun's concept; it was no longer just about helping him out but sparked their interest directly.
They gathered together and began discussing calmly, but it quickly escalated into an argument, with each demanding Lian Yun to arbitrate. This left him momentarily bewildered yet filled with joy.
From their quarrel, he gained a wealth of knowledge.
Lian Yun did not directly comment on who was right or wrong; instead, he joined the Four Elders and offered his thoughts and suggestions.
At that moment, the Four Elders had set aside any hierarchy. When Lian Yun presented his immature suggestions, they immediately lashed out, calling him ignorant and delusional. Even when he had a somewhat meaningful suggestion, they belittled it, adopting an attitude of superiority.
In short, they were a group of very opinionated and self-centered individuals.
However, Lian Yun felt no resentment; he humbly accepted their criticism and seriously contemplated the words of the four elders.
Although Lian Yun's ideas were innovative and held great potential, the Four Elders lacked experience in this area and were unwilling to yield to one another. Thus, their debate dragged on without resolution. After half a day of arguing, the four were hoarse and out of breath, having made no progress toward a clear answer.
Yet, through absorbing experiences from their ongoing disputes, Lian Yun gradually formed an idea.
Once the Four Elders had rested and resumed their arguments for a while longer, Lian Yun directly presented his thoughts.
Upon hearing him, the Four Elders fell silent, casting disdainful glances at Lian Yun before turning away as if to ignore him.
In response, Lian Yun smiled knowingly, realizing that his ideas had gained the approval of the Four Elders. He bowed in gratitude to the four of them before returning to the forge. There, he pondered over the helmet materials while continuing to refine his plan for any errors or areas for improvement.
After several hours of preparation, when Lian Yun began to work, the Four Elders focused intently on him. Not just them; nearly five thousand individuals in the factory dedicated to Forging Technique held their breath in anticipation.
Many among them believed that Lian Yun already possessed Grandmaster-level skills, but whether he could rightfully claim that title depended on whether this final piece of equipment could become Supreme.
As Lian Yun forged the helmet into shape, the eyes of nearly five thousand Blacksmiths sparkled with hope and blessings.
It seemed they had lost all sense of jealousy; they wished to witness firsthand the birth of a Master Blacksmith—especially one who would be the youngest Master Blacksmith in history.

When Lian Yun struck the final blow, everyone beheld a helmet that had a slight curve of snake scales on its head, lacking dragon patterns, yet the opening resembled the mouth of a dragon.
This helmet appeared unremarkable at first glance, but it evoked an inexplicable sense of awe, as if one wanted to worship it.
Then, as Lian Yun laid out all the components, they seemed to be interconnected, suddenly rising into the air and assembling themselves.
Among them, three weapons—swords and spears—slowly revolved around the suit.
All the components were silver-white in color, and now that they had combined, the suit emanated a feeling akin to witnessing a real silver dragon. It exuded both majesty and sanctity, nobility and pride, compelling one to worship and admire while simultaneously instilling deep fear.
"Friend, quickly put it on and see what effects the suit has," Gao Li said excitedly.
"Wait, wait! We need to name this suit first. If we forge this kind of armor in the future, we must use this name," Yu Chengqiao said with a serious tone tinged with envy.
This was likely what it meant to achieve something legendary.
However, Ping Tieshi awkwardly interjected with a hint of jealousy, "What's so great about it? It's obviously the Silver Dragon Armor!"
His comment received approval from most of the blacksmiths around them, but Gao Li and the others shot him stern and even disdainful glances.
Perhaps "Silver Dragon Armor" was a straightforward name that made sense, but it should not have come from Ping Tieshi. His suggestion felt like an attempt to steal credit and share in Lian Yun's glory.
In the future, when someone mentions the Silver Dragon Armor, they might think it was created by 'White Cloud,' but the name Silver Dragon Armor actually originated from Ping Tieshi's mouth.
Even if Ping Tieshi acted without intention, it made people feel that his character was lacking and quite unprincipled, which naturally caused the Three Elders to feel disgusted.
Lian Yun himself did not mind this, but seeing Ping Tieshi looking distressed and his face turning a shade of red-black with shame, he felt a bit of sympathy and said, "There is no need for the esteemed seniors to be like this. How about we wait until I confirm the effects of the armor before naming it?"
As long as they did not use the name Silver Dragon Armor, it would resolve Ping Tieshi's predicament. Upon hearing this, Ping Tieshi immediately nodded and even bowed slightly, saying, "I was reckless; please do not use the name Silver Dragon Armor."
Only then did Gao Li and the others' expressions ease a little.
Lian Yun simply nodded and waved his hand to summon the armor, putting it on.
Almost at the moment Lian Yun donned all the pieces of armor, nearly five thousand Blacksmiths present felt as if there was a change in the ground beneath them. Without exception, over five thousand people were left dumbfounded, their jaws nearly dropping to the floor.
Gao Li swallowed hard and nervously asked, "What effect does it have?"
"It allows for the manipulation of any Spiritual Energy within a radius of one hundred meters, almost like a domain," Lian Yun replied in disbelief.
