"What is Tong Mingshan doing?"
The Grand Sect Leader Yan of the Hundred Refinement Sect voiced this question, though it was unclear who he was asking.
Anyone could see that Tong Mingshan was attempting to remelt the nine divided pieces of refining materials into one. His actions were completely baffling.
Dividing into nine parts to craft the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart was entirely understandable.
Discarding eight to focus solely on one, aiming to craft the True Exquisite Heart with one orifice, was also reasonable.
But now, picking up the nine half-refined chunks to remelt them into one—what was the point of this?
Only a quarter of the competition time remained, and playing around with new tricks now was even crazier than what Li Hongjiu had done.
