C1648 Final Showdown
As the saying goes, it's hard to cook without rice, and iron is the most common material, but it's also very mediocre. Perhaps Yang Xuan could use forging techniques to make it have different characteristics, but the upper limit was still very low.
After thinking hard for a while, Yang Xuan suddenly patted his head and his eyes lit up. He said, "Since one blade has a limit, why don't I make a few more?"
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and the iron ingot in front of him was split into two pieces by Yang Xuan's strong wind and thrown into the iron furnace.
On the other side, Qii Zilei had already started his forging step by step.
"Hundred Smelting Steel?" Yang Xuan looked at Qii Zilei's actions and immediately understood what he wanted to do.
"Humph, it is not a bad technique, but this does not seem to be the limit." Yang Xuan muttered in his heart. The iron ingot thrown into the furnace had become soft due to the high temperature and was taken out by Yang Xuan.
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Xuan. Although Yang Xuan lost to Qii Zilei in the second match, Yang Xuan's performance still amazed them. Therefore, they wanted to know what Yang Xuan was planning to do in the most exciting third match.
However, Yang Xuan didn't pay attention to the gazes of the people around him. He looked at the two iron ingots in front of him. He swung the hammer and smashed it hard. After that... His body began to spin, bringing with it a tremendous amount of force. Once again, he fiercely smashed onto the iron ingot.
"Whirlwind Hammer Technique?" Everyone was surprised. They did not expect Yang Xuan to use the Whirlwind Hammer Technique again.
"What is he trying to do?" Second Elder frowned. He found that he could not see through this young man's thoughts.
"Isn't this the way to make iron essence?" Someone said to Second Elder. Second Elder nodded. Of course, he could tell that Yang Xuan wanted to forge iron essence, but it didn't seem to have any effect on the blade.
"Let's continue watching. I have a feeling that this kid can create miracles." Another elder came to Second Elder's side and said.
Second Elder nodded his head. No one said anything else.
On the other side, Yang Xuan casted the Whirlwind Hammer, and the iron ingot in front of him quickly shrunk by half. It once again became sparkling with silver light. This was a special technique coupled with a powerful hammering, causing the nature of the iron to change. Finally, it became like this.
Generally speaking, iron essence was used to forge the sword body, because its greatest characteristic was its tenacity. However, the toughness of the thing Yang Xuan was going to forge next was an extremely important factor.
After he finished forging the iron essence, Yang Xuan took out another iron ingot. He used the iron hammer to flatten the iron ingot before bending it over and hammering it again.
"Hundred Refined Iron? This is not a bad idea." Qii Zilei looked in the direction of Yang Xuan and saw his technique. He immediately praised in his heart, Using Hundred Refined Iron to forge a blade, it can make the blade more durable. It seems like his foundation is not bad. But what exactly did he use that piece of iron essence for? "
Qii Zilei looked at Yang Xuan's table in puzzlement. Generally speaking, iron essence was used to forge the sword body, but now it needed to be used to forge the sword blade. If he used iron essence to forge the sword blade, the strength of the sword blade would not be enough.
But not long after, Yang Xuan finished forging the Hundred Refined Iron and picked up the iron essence. The Hundred Refined Iron was knocked flat, and the iron essence also became a thin layer under the effect of the iron hammer.
Yang Xuan stacked the two together and repeated the action of bending.
After dozens of turns, Yang Xuan suddenly separated the iron piece in front of him from the middle and knocked the edge of the iron piece into a thin blade.
"Great success!" Yang Xuan threw the knife in front of him, which did not look very good, into the bucket. White smoke rose and there was a sizzling sound coming from the bucket.
After a while, Yang Xuan picked up the knife.
"Elder, I have completed it." Yang Xuan placed the blade in his hand in front of Second Elder and said. Second Elder took the blade and looked at it curiously. He found that the edge of the blade was very strange.
"This is the blade you made?" Second Elder looked at Yang Xuan curiously. Although there was nothing wrong with the blade of this short knife, what made Second Elder feel strange was that the blade of this knife was not very sharp. For such a thin blade, the blade seemed a little heavy.
"That's right. Is there a problem?" Yang Xuan asked with a smile. Second Elder looked at Yang Xuan's expression. He was a little disappointed in his heart. He initially thought that Yang Xuan was a rare genius, but after seeing the blade forged by Yang Xuan, what?
Yang Xuan didn't intend to explain himself. He looked at Qii Zilei who was standing on the other side. Qii Zilei had just taken out his weapon from the icy water and placed it in front of Second Elder. He said to ___, "Senior brother, please take out the knife test stone."
"Alright, but I will advise the two of you one more time. Since we're all in the same trade, there's no need to fight to the death. Sometimes, it's better to take a step back. " Second Elder said to the two of them, but Yang Xuan and Qii Zilei looked at each other. But they all turned their faces to the side at the same time.
Second Elder sighed helplessly and asked someone to carry the knife test stone out from the backyard of Qii family.
There were millions of weapons in this world. Even if they were the same type of weapon, they would have different reactions when they were in the hands of different blacksmiths. Therefore, it had always been a headache to judge a weapon's quality.
It was not until the establishment of the Blacksmith's Guild that a ghost invented the knife test stone. The Sabertesting Stone could be evaluated based on the performance of the weapon. It was the same as the blacksmiths' classification. The Sabertesting Stone also divided the weapon into six levels. Each level was further divided into ten smaller levels.0
With such a detailed classification, the Blacksmith's Guild had a more intuitive feeling about the strength of the blacksmith.
"Who will go first?" Second Elder looked at the two of them and asked.
Qii Zilei immediately picked up the weapon he made and said, "Let me go first. Let this kid have more time to prepare himself. Be careful not to cry later."
As he spoke, he placed his weapon on the Sabertesting Stone.
There was a smooth mirror surface on the surface of the Sabre Test Stone. There were stars shining on it. There were ten stars, but with the change in color, it also represented different levels, according to copper. Iron. Silver. Gold. Grandmaster. The six ranks of Divine Craftsmen corresponded to Dark Yellow. Silver gray. Silver. Gold. Purple. Red, six colors.
Everyone's eyes fell on the knife testing stone. Just as Qii Zilei's weapon was placed on top of it, it immediately turned into a dark yellow ten stars, followed by a silver grey ten stars. It turned silver and finally became gold. The golden stars lit up one by one. Finally, when the eighth star lit up, it stopped.
"Eight stars in gold, not bad." Qii Zilei picked up his weapon with satisfaction. After all, this was only an iron weapon. According to the records, a weapon forged from iron would at most be ten stars of gold.
Qii Zilei looked at Yang Xuan and proudly said to Yang Xuan, "Please, little brother."
