: The importance of materials

Luo Ji's sword skills were never spectacular.

But the killing intent is compelling.

Full of power!

It makes people clearly feel that this is the sword technique used to fight the enemy on the battlefield!

But even so, as Luo Ji drew his sword faster and faster.

This scene in the martial arts arena also dazzled the guards and Karl who were watching.

As the captain of the guard, Wang Kai secretly sighed in his heart.

Although His Majesty's sword was very fast in the past, it was not as fast as this.

At this moment, Luo Ji's series of slashes were almost all connected into a blazing sword.

If you think about it carefully, it was the same during the sparring just now.

He only saw a flash of knife light flashing before his eyes, and the blade of the long knife was already placed on his neck.

It was so fast that he had no time to react.

This once again made Wang Kai sigh in his heart about the magic of magic weapons.

At the same time, the pressure in my heart also increased dramatically.

Needless to say, when Jie Zichuan served as the captain of the guard, he was very capable.

Jie Zichuan holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.

During the sparring session with His Majesty, no matter how fiercely they attacked His Majesty, they could not break the shield in Jie Zichuan's hand.

It can be said that it is clearly felt that he has the strength to protect His Majesty's safety!

But now that Jie Zichuan is away, the position of guard chief falls to him.

At this moment, Luo Ji was dazzled by the sight of him wielding a long sword.

Wang Kai couldn't help but have some self-doubt in his heart.

"Am I really capable of protecting His Majesty?"

As this thought arose, Wang Kai's hand holding the long knife couldn't help but tighten a little.

Then he shook his head vigorously.

"Wang Kai, Wang Kai, what are you thinking about? The task of protecting His Majesty was given to you by Jie Zichuan himself. With your current situation, are you worthy of Jie Zichuan and His Majesty?!"

He scolded himself severely in his heart.

Wang Kai's eyes quickly became firm.

Then I secretly made up my mind...

"From today on, the training time will be increased by three hours every day! I must become stronger, and I will never let His Majesty and Jie Zichuan down!"

At this moment, Luo Ji obviously didn't know what Wang Kai was thinking.

Waving the long sword in his hand, Luo Ji gradually got used to the speed of swinging the sword, and felt that the more he swung it, the smoother it became.

But gradually, he became a little dissatisfied with practicing alone.

He wanted to make an accurate measurement of his current strength.

Holding a spear and riding a prairie fire to fight on horseback.

Luo Ji knew that he had the strength to compete with some generals whose bravery level had reached four stars.

But fighting on foot is his weakness.

In the previous battle with Zhang William, he was completely defeated.

If Lian Ying hadn't helped him out.

He was probably defeated a long time ago.

But now that he had this sword, Luo Ji wanted to see how far his foot combat strength had improved.

"Zhou Cang, go and summon Zhou Xian."

Obviously, this is to find yourself an opponent for sparring.

It's too dangerous if you don't have enough strength, so why not just find someone who has enough strength?

Zhou Xian is a top-notch warrior!

The bravery level has reached the limit of five stars.

Stamina also has four stars.

Coupled with the talent bonus of ‘Bravely Championing the Army’.

With his strength, he probably has few opponents in a single challenge.

Therefore, Luo Ji didn't have to worry about accidentally hurting him.

But before Zhou Xian arrived.

Luo Ji wiped his sweat and naturally wanted to ask Karl what happened with the knife.

Although it is embedded with wind magic core, it has the characteristic effect of reducing the weight of the weapon and increasing the attack speed.

But this is a bit too fast, right?

Zhang William's Breath of the Storm is also inlaid with wind magic core, and it is of the third level.

But the speed of swinging the sword is not that fast, right?

Karl naturally explained this very enthusiastically.

Just like that girl Xuan Ye, she talks endlessly when talking about weapons and ordnance.

When Carl talks about these things, he becomes a little fanatical.

It turns out that the key point lies in this special metal.

Zhang William's Breath of Storm is forged from black iron mixed with star sand.

The material black iron is equivalent to an 'insulator' for mana.

It is completely unable to carry mana.

Only after being mixed with star sand and tempered can the composition of the material be changed to a certain extent and become a 'conductor'.

And there are good and bad conductors.

A poor conductor will have low efficiency.

For example, you mobilize 10% of your mana, but only use 50% of it.

As for a good conductor, if you mobilize 100% of your mana, you may be able to exert 70%, 80%, or even 90%!

Obviously, compared to this new metal.

Breath of Storm's conductor is considered poor.

The new metal that this knife is made of is a good conductor.

This change makes this knife completely surpass Breath of the Storm in terms of its characteristics and effects!

After understanding the reason, Luo Ji looked ecstatic.

Obviously I didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise.

The only thing that makes him regretful is that the production of star sand is really limited.

Xingchen Lake is such a big place.

Luo Ji did not dare to dig or fill sand at will to damage the ecological environment of the lake.

How many years does it take for an ordinary grain of gravel to settle at the bottom of a lake before it evolves into a grain of star sand?

And the amount of star sand required to forge a magic weapon is more than one or two grains?

This is a rare thing in the true sense.

Thinking of this, Luo Ji, who gently stroked the blade of the sword, couldn't help but say "tsk tsk".

Then he asked Karl...

"Karl, since you discovered this new metal, have you thought of a name for it?"

Karl was obviously stunned when he heard this.

Luo Ji really stopped him with this question.

After discovering this new metal, he was so excited that he used it to forge weapons.

Instead, he put the matter behind him.

What is your name?
