?Qingya guessed the beginning. Qin Feng truly intended to cause a fuss—he wanted to test this magnificent hammer on the great tree. It looked so impressive, surely it would be quite dominant, right? Approaching the tree, he slowly raised the hammer and struck it down, not exerting any particularly strong force. Thud… The hammer hit the trunk with a normal sound, yet it only created a small dent in the bark. "Really?" He blinked in surprise. Even if Qingya had misjudged, this wasn't the legendary Haotian Hammer. Still, it should at least have been a magical artifact—how could it behave like an ordinary hammer? According to his expectations, the impact should have either broken the tree in two or at least split it in half. Qingya also widened her eyes, "Perhaps I was wrong—maybe the Haotian Hammer isn't this ordinary." Qin then raised the hammer once more and swiftly brought it down, striking it hard. Thud… Fragments of bark and sap flew out, but the hole itself was no different from before except that it was slightly larger. The only explanation left was that Qin Feng had exerted more force this time. “Still no effect,” he admitted, truly disappointed. Was it just a hammer that could grow and shrink? Did he really have to go to the construction site every day? Then what was the point of keeping him around? Qingya first offered a wry smile, then shook her head to herself, murmuring, “It seems it really isn’t the Hao Tian Hammer. I must have mistaken it. How could I have made such a mistake? The shape is exactly as described in the records—how could I possibly have misremembered it? It must be the people who wrote the records who got it wrong. Yes, that must be it.” Unconsciously, she had already walked to a point just under ten meters away from the great tree. Qin Feng stared at the hammer for a while, then said to himself, “One more try. They always say, ‘No matter how many times you try, it’s never more than three.’” This time, he channeled a sliver of spiritual energy into the hammer handle, but the hammer remained unchanged— the energy simply vanished, as if it had disappeared into the sea without a trace. The result left him deeply disappointed, yet he mechanically swung the hammer down. Thud... boom... splash... When the hammer struck the tree trunk, the great tree remained motionless at first. But a second later, it exploded into countless fragments, scattering leaves and branches in all directions. Qingya stood exactly in front of it. She had indeed predicted the beginning, but not the ending. When she emerged from the dust earlier, she was already covered in dirt; now, she was even more impressive—her entire body was draped with branches and leaves, looking as though she were a primitive hunter-gatherer from ancient times. "Wow, that's amazing!" Qin Shao's attention was entirely fixed on the hammer, automatically ignoring the "primitive" figure before him. The primitive man forced out a sound resembling something emerging from beneath the earth: "Qin Feng..." "Oh, Qingya, you saw that, didn't you? Indeed, it's quite impressive—my luck truly hasn't been this good," he said, only to lift his head and gasp in surprise: "Who are you? A wild man who just stepped out of nowhere, or some kind of demon?" It wasn't surprising at all, given the primitive man's current appearance—indeed, it was hard to imagine him as Qingya. "Qin Feng, you've been deliberately aloof, haven't you?" the beautiful inspector snapped. Qin, startled, replied: "You? Is that you, boss? How did you end up like this?" "Still all thanks to you," Qingya said, ready to charge in and give him a good scolding. Qin quickly waved his hand, and a gentle breeze materialized, blowing away all the dirt and mess clinging to her. Still, he didn't stop defending himself: "Boss, I didn't mean to—my word, I swear!" "I was right there in front of that big tree—you didn't see me, did you?" "No, did I invite you to come here? When did you move to the front? I don't remember that at all." He gave a completely innocent look. This time it was her who was momentarily stunned, "Oh, right—when did I move to the front? I can't remember either." Qin was sweating profusely, "Even you can't quite figure it out, so how am I supposed to know? This is completely unexpected—don't worry about it. Just change into another outfit, and I promise I won't look at you. By the way, Head, you said you'd be resting at home, right? How did you end up here?" The young woman blushed slightly—of course she wouldn't admit it was out of curiosity. She huffed, "I figured you'd be lazy, so I came to check it out. And I was right." "Ah, yes," he said, smiling, "I sensed the energy fluctuations here, so I came to see what was going on." He waved his hammer with a single, graceful motion, beaming with a smile. "So, it was definitely worth the trip, wasn't it? Wow—my secrets are all out in the open now. You've really got me, boss." "Hmph. Did you think I'd be willing to hear all this?" she shot him a withering glance. "Don't change the subject—yet you haven't explained your laziness." "Boss, would you like to see what it looks like when it grows bigger?" he blinked. Qingya clenched her fists, gritting her teeth. "I... want to." It was clear that the mere act of saying those two words carried with it a deep sense of resentment, anger, and profound self-disappointment—how could she possibly withstand such temptation? Yet, there was no denying it—she truly wanted to know. That much was certain. Qin Shao smiled with a look full of quiet confidence, thinking to herself: "Well, little one, you're still far from being a match for me. Hahahaha!" The two arrived at another area paved with stones. He channeled twice as much spiritual energy into the Hao Tian Hammer as he had before, then casually tossed it into the air, shouting, "Big—make it three times bigger!" Instantly, the small hammer transformed into a large one, tracing a parabolic arc through the air before its head struck the ground with a solid thud. Boom—crash! The impact sent up a flurry of dust and debris, leaving deep craters in the ground, much like those formed by a high-explosive bomb. "Wah-hah! Back here!" He extended his hand, and the Hao Tian Hammer automatically flew back, returning to its original size during the journey. The female Overseer was utterly envious: "It's truly a magical artifact. I'm certain this is the real Hao Tian Hammer—there's no doubt about it. Qin Feng, your luck is truly exceptional—you've even managed to locate a weapon left behind by the Hao Tian Emperor himself." "Ha! My luck has always been good," he said with a cheerful smile. "Let's try one more time—this time, make it as large as possible and see what happens." "Alright, hurry up Qin didn't panic. He took a deep breath and threw the hammer: "Make it the largest." Huff... huff... The Huatian hammer kept growing in the air—twice its size, five times, ten times... twenty times, forty times... and still growing. Both of them reacted the same way at once: they turned and ran backward simultaneously, because Qin Feng hadn't thrown the hammer with much force—eventually, it would surely hit them on the head. "Seriously, why didn't you throw it farther?" Qingya said, sounding dissatisfied. "Big sister, how could I possibly know it would grow so large? Just wait—hold on a second, please—give me a hand here, I'm not fast enough." Qin said. "You'd be dead by now, wouldn't you?" "Relax. Even if I die, the Huatian hammer won't come back to you."
