Chapter 547 - 281: Superior Peak Equipment Array
If materials are paired appropriately, one can transcend the tier of equipment creation skills and forge even more advanced equipment; this has always been the result achievable with the exquisite craftsmanship provided by the system.
Since the main battleground afterward is a volcanic region, the water attribute equipment Li Ang plans to craft will be the highest level product he has created thus far.
He started with Zoe’s equipment.
The swordswoman’s armament needs a portion of Dream Lantern Skin, but mainly for the torso’s main body; to maximize its use, he first used Curse Scale Fish material to craft the surface parts of other areas.
First is a pair of hand armor, their main body composed of large Storage Scales extending to the elbows. On the back of the hands and forearms, Curse Scale Fish’s Wave-Cutting Dorsal Fin was used to create all-round blades, highly efficient in function.
When the wearer swings a weapon, with Storage Scales storing water attribute magic inside the hand armor, it can unleash a Water Blade; even when throwing punches, these transcendent tier Water Blades are exceedingly sharp. If the wearer is a water attribute swordsman, the power is further amplified.
Of course, Li Ang also fused Rain Pattern Stone during crafting; this is a Tier Two water attribute array stone that can bestow water attribute array skills on this hand armor.
Silver-white base with smooth lines, the hand armor completed, presenting both an elegant and dangerous demeanor, enhancing the wearer’s offensive capabilities while greatly elevating its appearance.
Thanks to the system’s manufacturing knowledge, Li Ang was able to determine, without system support, this aesthetically pleasing and functional equipment would not be so easily completed.

[Set Effect: Incomplete]
Since it’s intended to be crafted as a set, the set effect hasn’t manifested yet.
He hung the hand armor on the adjacent display stand, made from inert minerals, which will gradually calm the surging magic power and spirit in the freshly forged equipment, stabilizing its structure.
Once the hand armor was completed, Meimei and Meluna immediately looked over.
"This—"
Meluna began to speak but was stopped by Li Ang: "This isn’t for you."
He knew that she always assumed something was for her, naturally.
After he stopped her from speaking, Meluna wanted to say something more but, seeing his persistent attitude, she could only lower her head in disappointment.
"You wouldn’t make use of transcendent realm equipment," Li Ang said.
"You’ve never given me excellence realm equipment either."
"I only made one or two pieces before, and they were all for casters, saved up over a long time."
Li Ang became frustrated again: "I told you before, with your ability, you should take on some strong missions; whatever you want, you don’t need to go through me. At home, aside from practicing the sword, you just sleep, relying entirely on me, doing whatever comes to mind every day. Sometimes when I’m so exhausted that I want to sleep, you pull me up—"
"You don’t like it? I thought you’d hug me immediately, actually quite happy."
"That’s beside the point."
"Even here, I haven’t felt Li Ang’s warmth for so long."
Meluna said as she leaned closer, her pale finger hooking on the neckline.
"Don’t do that in front of me!" Meimei covered her face, yelling hysterically.
"Don’t come over, I have things to do." Li Ang raised his hand to block Meluna.
The black-haired young girl kept talking: "Starting now, I’ll do whatever you say, so—"
"What’s all the commotion?"
The forge door was opened a crack, and four different-colored heads squeezed in to peek inside.
The previous sentence was asked by Andasu, who was never timid facing Meluna, being more straightforward.
Dorothy cautiously said: "We heard noise, so we came to check."
"Tsk." Meluna glared viciously in their direction.
"Nothing major."
Li Ang said: "You came just in time, preparing to make your subsequent equipment now."
"Really?"
Dorothy skipped over, like a teenage girl, one step at a time beside him, but made a wide detour, avoiding Meluna’s defense range.
Seeing the beautifully decorative hand armor, her eyes lit up: "Looks nice, but this isn’t made for me, is it?"
"This is for Zoe."
"Hey, indeed, making one for that wild cat first."
"That’s because..."
Just as he was about to explain, facing Zoe’s smug expression, combined with Andasu, ALulu’s varied expressions, as well as the half-elf’s teasing, even Meluna’s indignant frustration, Meimei’s visible boredom, he suddenly struggled to organize the right words to say to whom.
So he chose not to say anything.
Zoe picked up the hand armor, directly putting it on.
"A bit tight."
"It should have been made according to the previous measurements; seems you’ve grown taller again."
At her age, developing rapidly, coupled with her naturally agile physique, growth in both muscles and height will affect equipment wear.
"Then measure again."
She put her hands on her hips, chest out.
"Just you wait."
Li Ang currently dared not take out the tape measure, afraid of the ensuing turmoil.
"Darling, I’ve grown too." Dorothy swayed her hips, teasing as she spoke beside him.
