The second pattern remained perfectly normal. It wasn’t until the third pattern, which was only halfway engraved, that the paper suddenly burst into flames with a sharp crackle, catching both Wang Teng and Yuan Gun Gun off guard.

“What’s happening?” Round Ball exclaimed in surprise.

Frowning, Wang Teng looked at the burning paper before him, his gaze flickering slightly with contemplation. “The patterns just now seem somewhat similar to ancient fire runes.”

“Hmm, now that you mention it, they do seem to bear some resemblance,” Round Ball remarked, astonished. “But there are still significant differences, especially in the finer details.”

“Right,” Wang Teng nodded thoughtfully. “Let’s continue.”

“I suggest you use a different kind of paper!” Round Ball suddenly suggested.

“Different paper?” Wang Teng paused, his eyes gleaming with insight. “Yes, we should.”

The ordinary paper clearly couldn’t withstand the peculiar power emanating from these patterns. They needed a stronger and more stable “paper”!

His gaze swept through his space ring and landed on the carcass of a heaven-stage behemoth, a star beast he had killed and stored for provisions. For now, it would serve as the “paper”.

With his spiritual power, Wang Teng conjured forth a Phoenix Golden Feather Blade, swiftly slicing off a large piece of the beast’s hide.

The armor of a heaven-stage star beast was incredibly tough, but with the sharpness of his Phoenix Golden Feather Blade, cutting through it was no challenge.

“Let’s use this!” Wang Teng laid out the piece of hide and began to engrave it with the rune pen.

This time, Wang Teng smoothly outlined the first three patterns. A flash of red light surged through, and he immediately sensed the convergence of the constellation Force, making the heaven-stage beast hide before him seem somehow different.

“It works!” Round Ball and Wang Teng exchanged a glance, their faces lit up with excitement. “Quick, continue engraving.”

Wang Teng nodded and proceeded to engrave the next patterns. The fourth, the fifth, the sixth… one pattern after another emerged under his hands, landing on the heaven-stage beast hide.

Just as he had guessed, the hide of a heaven-stage star beast was able to withstand the peculiar power of these patterns.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Teng had engraved n patterns, and now he was engraving the 12th.

As he worked on the 12th pattern, Wang Teng’s eyebrows raised slightly, sensing something different. It was a strange feeling, indescribable yet subtly unsettling.

“Oh no!”

In the next moment, Wang Teng’s expression changed. He immediately used his spiritual power to send the hide flying into the sky.

Suddenly, a dazzling red light burst in the sky above the estate.

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed through the sky, alarming many nearby martial warriors.

“What’s happening?” Yizang Xinnuo, Shouzang Caiyun, and others were inside the estate when they heard the commotion. They rushed out, their faces grave as they looked up at the sky.

“Cough, cough!” Wang Teng flew out from the estate, clearing his throat awkwardly. “Don’t panic, I was just conducting an experiment, and it accidentally caused a small explosion.”

“A small explosion?”

Yizang Xinnuo and the others were speechless.

Did he just call that a small explosion?

That explosion just now was equivalent to a strike from a peak-level cosmos-stage martial warrior!

“Accident! Accident! It’s all an accident!” Wang Teng felt even more guilty seeing the reactions of the crowd and hurriedly explained.

Yizang Xinnuo and the others shook their heads. Seeing that it was just a false alarm, they couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation. They had almost thought that someone was invading the Five Burial Stars again. “Disperse!” Shouzang Caiyun glanced at the onlookers and waved her hand, signaling them to leave.

Wang Teng finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this was a mess he had caused, and he felt somewhat embarrassed.

Others looked at Wang Teng with suspicion, not knowing what he had done to cause such a powerful explosion. However, they didn’t say anything and gradually dispersed.

“Well, I’ll… go back for now,” Wang Teng said somewhat awkwardly, looking at Yizang Xinnuo and the others.

“Brother Wang Teng, uh, take care of yourself,” Yizang Xinnuo wanted to say more, but in the end, she only offered a cautious reminder.

“Okay, okay!” Wang Teng quickly assured her, suddenly remembering something. “Oh, by the way, if there’s another explosion later, you don’t need to worry too much. It’s probably just another small accident on my end.” Yizang Xinnuo and the others looked at him in shock.

Another one?

What on earth was this guy up to?

“Um… Is that okay? If not, I can go somewhere more remote?” Wang Teng hesitated.

“No need, just stay here. It’s just a few small explosions. This is our family’s territory, and no one dares to say anything,” Yizang Xinnuo said calmly. “Impressive!” Wang Teng gave her a thumbs-up, shamelessly flattering her.

Then he didn’t say much more and returned to his room, intending to continue engraving the patterns on the beast hide. He couldn’t believe that as rune grandmaster, he couldn’t handle a piece of hide.

“I didn’t expect it to cause an explosion,” Round Ball appeared, looking at the hide in front of it, speechless.

Wang Teng stared at the hide with a serious expression. “The patterns on this hide are very special and interconnected. It seems I can’t engrave them one by one. I need to figure out this connection. Otherwise, it will still explode..”
