The process would take several hours, so Su Ze and the Pope waited on the spot.
...
The forging machine emitted a crisp chime, signaling to Su Ze that the process was complete.
Su Ze strode forward and saw that the compartment on the machine's left side had opened. A set of flying needles lay quietly within.
Su Ze extended his Spiritual Power, and with a gentle sweep, hundreds of flying needles flew out, forming a single stream.
"Return!"
With a single thought, the hundreds of needles landed in his palm.
There were 299 needles in total. Each was about three inches long, as fine as a hair, yet incomparably hard.
The needles were pitch-black, but when they flew through the air, they blended into the light and shadows, becoming completely invisible.
Su Ze tried to track the needles in flight with his Spiritual Power but couldn't detect them at all.
