Shi Feng crouched down first, gently pressing his fingers against the surface. His brows lifted in surprise. "It's really solid now… it feels just like stone."
Han Jue leaned closer, tapping it lightly with his knuckles. A dull, heavy sound echoed back. His eyes brightened instantly. "No… it's even better than ordinary stone. It's binding them together."

"It's completely fused," he muttered, clearly impressed.
Suddenly, a loud voice boomed from the side.
"You all back off! Let me see how strong this thing really is!"
Rong Ye stepped forward with a confident grin, cracking his knuckles.
