Zhou Shu was naked from the waist up and swinging the hammer head.
The nearly perfect muscle lines moved slightly with his movements, and beads of sweat fell to the ground along his shiny skin.
Originally, his predecessor's body was a bit thin, but since he practiced Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, his body has gradually evolved towards perfection.
"Another one completed!"
Zhou Shu threw the forged Tiger Ben knife into the box next to it, as if throwing away garbage.
Ever since he forged the Hundred Refined Ring First Sword, Zhou Shu had begun to look down on the Huben Sword.
After all, the Bailian Huanshou Sword is not as sharp as the Huben Sword, but its strength is two levels higher than that of the Huben Sword.
However, after all, the first sword of the Hundred Refining Ring has not yet seen the light of day. Under the current circumstances, Zhou Shu still has to rely on the Tiger Ben Sword to complete the task of the Forging Division.
After the murder that day, Zhou Shu ran back to the workshop and immediately threw his clothes into the smelting furnace and burned them to ashes.
He also dug a deep pit and hid the Hundred Refined Ring First Sword.
Although he was sure that no one was following him at the time, there were high martial arts in this world. Who knew if there would be someone who knew some weird magical powers to track him?
Of course, even if he is found, he will not be afraid.
At that time, he was completely in self-defense, and the other party might be a spy from the enemy country. If he killed the other party, he would still have merit!
Even so, Zhou Shu was still worried for several days.
Later, no one came to see him, and he gradually relaxed and returned to his usual life.
He didn't know that Ma Fengzhang was afraid of his cultivation and forbade anyone to continue to investigate.
He didn't know that at that time, he couldn't control the knife marks left on the wall of the secret room and directly let two people enter. Later, there may be more people who will benefit from it.
Now Zhou Shu is still thinking about how to get a promotion and raise his salary to improve his living standard.
Now Zhou Shu is no longer the newcomer who didn’t understand anything.
After these days of insinuations, he has basically understood the situation in this world.
In this world, the best way to get ahead is to become a top-grade warrior.
Once you become a top-grade warrior, you will immediately become a master, with high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
Even if you don't want to be an official, the court will support you at a large price, so you will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of your life.
Secondly, there are imperial examinations in this world. If you pass the imperial examinations, you can also become an official.
In addition, if you serve as a soldier, you may also become a general.
None of this is the best way for Zhou Shu.
For him, the best and closest way is to become a weapon maker, a senior weapon maker, a master craftsman, a master craftsman...
In Daxia, the status of a weapon master is not much lower than that of a top-grade warrior.
Of course, the difficulty of becoming a weapon maker is not lower than that of becoming a first-grade warrior, and may even be higher.
However, even if you are not a weapon maker, you can still get a promotion and a salary increase as an apprentice.
There is a complete system within the Weapon Forging Department. As the age and skill of the Weapon Forging Apprentices increase, their remuneration will also increase.
As a weapon-casting apprentice, Zhou Shu's monthly salary is half a tael of silver, while a senior weapon-casting apprentice like Zhang Yibei's monthly salary is one tael.
Zhou Shu was thinking about how to show off his weapon-making skills while ensuring safety.
It would be great if I could get a little higher salary or let Xiao Zongshui change himself to a better accommodation environment.
[The Tiger Blade you forged caused a kill and was rewarded with two years of cultivation!]
[The Tiger Blade you forged caused a kill and was rewarded with two years of cultivation!]
[The Tiger Blade you forged caused a kill and was rewarded with two years of cultivation!]
……
Suddenly, barrages flashed in front of Zhou Shu's eyes. For a moment, he didn't even count how many barrages flashed in total.
"Boom——"
The violent power fell from the sky and poured into his body without any reason.
Zhou Shu's face turned red, his eyes bulged, and all the blood vessels in his body seemed to burst.
"Ah——"
Zhou Shu let out a low, suppressed roar. He gripped the ground with both hands, and his fingernails were overturned as if he didn't notice. The blood directly dyed the soil red.
His face was ferocious, and there seemed to be strips of earthworms undulating on the surface of his body.
I don't know how long it took, but just when Zhou Shu could hardly bear it any longer, the surging energy finally stopped.
"What happened? Is Cheng Wanli leading the Tiger Army to rebel?"
After taking a few deep breaths, Zhou Shu regained his composure and thought with some fear.
In a short period of time, the Tiger Blade caused countless kills.
This shows that the Huben army killed many people in a short period of time!
The Huben Army is the imperial guard, and it is forged in the capital of Daxia. Under what circumstances can they kill so many people?
Either they rebel——
Either someone is rebelling——
But no matter what kind of situation it is, it’s impossible for the Forging Division to have no movement at all.
Did something happen that I don’t know about?
Zhou Shu shook his head and stopped thinking about this.
No matter why Huben Jun suddenly killed so many people, in short, he got benefits.
In just a short period of time, Zhou Shu's cultivation level has skyrocketed for more than two hundred years. His dragon-elephant prajna skill has directly broken through to the seventh level, and he is not far from the eighth level!
Feeling the surge of power in his body, Zhou Shu was also a little scared.
The skyrocketing cultivation level is a good thing, but the problem is that he was almost overwhelmed by the skyrocketing cultivation level just now.
If he was really pushed to the point of bursting, it would be such an unjust death for him!
"It turns out that the upper limit of one hundred weapons in the Divine Weapon Atlas is to protect me."
Zhou Shu said secretly in his heart.
The page that originally contained the sharp standard long knives in the Divine Weapon Map stopped increasing after the number reached one hundred, and Zhou Shu still felt a little resentful.
Now I find that it is a protection mechanism.
If there are too many, if they are killed at the same time, the power fed back will definitely not be something he can bear.
Being suffocated by one's own skyrocketing cultivation level is not a good way to die.
"My cultivation of more than two hundred years means that the Tiger Ben sword I forged has killed at least hundreds of people."
Zhou Shu was so excited that the Huben sword he forged only accounted for a small part of the Huben army's armaments.
This killed hundreds of people. How many people did the entire Tiger and Ben army have to kill?
Could it be that they were really involved in a war?
"Fortunately, my cultivation has skyrocketed. I am at the seventh level of Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, and with my Heavenly Sword Sword Technique, even if a war breaks out in Daxia, my chance of survival should be much greater than that of ordinary people."
With more than two hundred years of cultivation and the seventh level of Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, Zhou Shu felt a little at ease for the first time since he came to this world.
With this strength, he is no longer a weak ant at the mercy of others, but has become a strong ant...
Zhou Shu had an impulse in his heart, and he suddenly wanted to dig out the Bailian Huanshou Sword from the ground and play with it.
Before he could take action, there was already a shout outside the door.
"Zhou Shu!"
"Zhang Yibei!"
"..."
"Wu Laoliu!"
"..."
One by one, names were shouted.
"Assemble at the Military Examination Ground! The rest of the people should stay in their own residences and are not allowed to go out at will!"
Xiao Zongshui's voice echoed throughout the entire No. 97 Workshop.
Zhou Shu's heart trembled. He had already heard that the names Xiao Zongshui called were all apprentices who participated in the casting of the Huben sword.
"Something really happened!"
The Huben army had just started killing with the Huben sword, and Xiao Zongshui immediately summoned the forging apprentices who participated in the casting of the Huben sword.
Thinking of the spy who died in his hands before, Zhou Shu had a vague suspicion in his mind.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Shu did not dig out the Bailianhuan Sword.
At the first level of Dragon-Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, even if he doesn’t have a weapon in hand, he is not powerless.
If something really happens, the most indispensable thing in this workshop No. 97 is knives.
After finding a shirt and putting it on, Zhou Shu pushed open the courtyard door and walked towards the military inspection field.
Along the way, people greeted him from time to time.
These weapon-making apprentices still don’t know what happened, and all of them have smiles on their faces.
Since they participated in the casting of the Huben Knife, it is safe to say that their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes.
First, I received a large bounty, and then my monthly salary increased to some extent. This is already a very happy thing for the workers.
This time, they also thought that Mr. Xiao would have some reward.
Zhou Shu saw how happy they were and couldn't bear to attack them.
Or maybe he guessed wrong.
When we arrived at the military inspection field, Xiao Zongshui was already standing there.
His expression was serious and he remained silent.
Zhou Shu could see at a glance that Xiao Zongshui was wearing a sword today!
Hanging on his waist is a sheathed long knife. It looks like a standard long knife. I wonder if it is a tiger sword!
Every few steps around the military inspection ground, there is a fully armed soldier standing with a sword in his hand. They wear masks, their expressions cannot be seen, and their cold eyes are full of murderous intent.
The entire military inspection field has an aura of approaching storm.
Although Zhang Yibei and others didn't know what happened, they could feel the depressing atmosphere at the scene, and everyone became quiet.
Soon, forty weapon-making apprentices had arrived.
Xiao Zongshui's eyes swept over everyone coldly.
He held the handle of the knife in one hand, took a step forward, and said.
"June 28, where did you go, what did you do, and who did you meet?"
"Come one by one and explain everything clearly to me!"
June 28th was the day when everyone finished their three-month rush and was given a day off by Xiao Zongshui.
It was also the day when Zhou Shu killed the secret agent.
It was also the day when the Huben knife was delivered to the Huben army and one was immediately lost!
"It's really for that matter!"
Zhou Shu said secretly in his heart.
"Zhou Shu, you speak first!"
Xiao Zongshui's voice rang in Zhou Shu's ears.
"Me?"
Zhou Shu looked at Xiao Zongshui in surprise.
Others don’t know, but don’t you, Xiao Zongshui, know?
I am the creator of the Tiger Blade. Can I offend me?
"Say!"
Xiao Zongshui didn't even look at him and shouted coldly.
"Clang——"
The soldiers around the military inspection ground all had half-drawn swords, and fierce murderous aura permeated the military inspection ground.
***The author has something to say***
I originally posted a chapter at 8 o'clock, but when I saw it, it was actually blocked. I was completely confused. I modified a few possible places, and I didn't know if it would be blocked again. I was really confused.
