The standard long knife in Zhou Shu's hand made a crisp sound and was broken from the break.
Half of the blade fell to the ground, and it stabbed into the ground several inches with a pop.
Zhou Shu didn't care about the damage to the long sword. All his attention was now focused on the information that emerged in his mind.
"Dragon-Elephant Prajna Kung Fu!"
From the memory of his predecessor, Zhou Shu had long known that Gao Wu's power existed in this world.
But before, even his survival was precarious, so how could he think about those things that were out of reach?
He never thought that in this situation, he would actually get a set of cultivation techniques!
"After killing the enemy with the weapons I forged, will there be such benefits?"
Zhou Shu's whole body became a little excited, and even the discomfort from the murder just now was relieved a lot.
If he thought that becoming a weapon maker could change his destiny before, now he has understood that it is not a good thing for an ordinary person to have a weapon in his possession. He only has the skill of weapon making but no power to protect himself. Becoming a weapon maker may not be a good thing. The sharp standard long knife is not even a high-end weapon, but it has already attracted the covetousness of others so quickly. What would happen if it were a high-end weapon?
If it were another well-established weapon master, he might not be afraid, but Zhou Shu couldn't. In this Great Xia, he didn't have any protection.
What just happened is proof.
As soon as he took out the sharp standard long knife, someone came to ask for the secret recipe for making weapons.
If it weren't for the extraordinary sharpness of the standard long knife, the current ending might not be what it is.
It is precisely because the sharp standard long knife can cut through iron like mud, and can even break through a hammer, that the tall and thin man was caught off guard and killed with one knife, otherwise Zhou Shu may not be his opponent.
"I will never let myself be in such a dangerous state again!"
Zhou Shu secretly said to himself that he was still a little scared when he thought about it now. After experiencing this feeling of hanging by a thread once, he definitely didn't want to experience it a second time.
"The sharp standard long knife you forged successfully kills you, and you will be rewarded with two years of cultivation!"
While Zhou Shu was thinking, a voice sounded in his mind again.
At the same time, his Dantian seemed to explode, and a violent force surged out of thin air, and that force instantly flowed throughout his body.
"Click——"
Zhou Shu felt as if a shackle had been broken in his body. A steady stream of power poured out from his Dantian. His whole body seemed to be full of power. Even his ears and eyes were much sharper than before.
"Huh?"
Zhou Shu's eyes flashed as he took a step forward, waved his arm, and instantly struck the anvil in front of him with the broken knife in his hand.
The anvil is what he usually uses for blacksmithing. It is extremely thick and has been hammered for thousands of times. It is as hard as a magic weapon.
With a soft popping sound, such a heavy anvil, like tofu, was directly cut off into a piece the size of a baby's head under Zhou Shu's knife.
"Bang——"
The iron piece fell to the ground, and dust flew up.
At the same time, Zhou Shu heard a few footsteps hurried away outside the courtyard wall.
The tall and lanky man was not the only one who was greedy tonight, but he was the quickest to do it, and as a result, he died the quickest.
The death of the tall and thin man, and the power of Zhou Shu's slashing sword, directly scared away the other people with ulterior motives.
"It's too dangerous!" Zhou Shu was frightened for a while, "I thought this was the Forging Department and there wouldn't be too much danger, but I didn't expect that when people become greedy, they really have no scruples!"
Zhou Shu looked at the corpses on the ground and was not too worried. He would always kill the murderer. This person attacked him first, and he was just a passive counterattack. This makes sense.
Besides, Xiao Zongshui just took away his secret recipe for making weapons. Can he help him settle this trivial matter?
"My sharp standard long knife didn't kill another enemy just now, so why is there another reward?"
Zhou Shu put these things aside and pondered, "Could it be another one?"
He cast a total of two sharp standard long knives.
One was broken when it was used to kill the tall and thin man, and there was another one, but it was taken away by the person in charge, Xiao Zongshui.
He didn't kill the enemy just now, which can only mean that the one who killed the enemy was the knife that Xiao Zongshui took away!
"It seems that not only can I get rewards for killing enemies, but I can also get rewards even if others use the weapons I forged to kill enemies."
Zhou Shu felt that he was gradually understanding the usage of the Divine Weapon Atlas.
"If that's the case, then as long as I cast enough weapons and disperse them, wouldn't it..."
His eyes are getting brighter and brighter.
Just by forging two sharp standard long knives, he has already gained the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu and two years of cultivation. If he forges two hundred sharp standard long knives...
Thinking about it makes people a little excited. Doesn’t this mean that as long as someone uses the weapons they forged, it is equivalent to working for themselves?
"There are thirteen levels of Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu. I have been cultivating for two years now and have only mastered the first level. To reach the second level, it takes four years, the third level eight years, and the fourth level.
Sixteen years..."
"Under normal circumstances, I would never reach the thirteenth level in my life, but with the Divine Weapon Atlas, this goal is not difficult!"
The first level of dragon-elephant prajna skill directly brought him the power of a dragon and an elephant. Although the power of a dragon and an elephant is an exaggeration, his current power, with one punch and one kick, is enough to reach hundreds.
A pound of strength.
If this were not the case, his previous knife would not have had such an effect. After all, no matter how sharp the knife is, it depends on who uses it.
With the power of the dragon and the elephant, at least among the weapon-making apprentices, he doesn't have to worry about anyone threatening his life.
However, the Weapon Forging Apprentices are only the lowest level of the Weapon Forging Division, and most of them are just ordinary people.
In this world, there are countless people who are stronger than them, and the first level of Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu is far from enough.
According to the scattered legends in the memory of the predecessor, this world is a world of high martial arts. Let alone the first level of Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, even the thirteenth level may not be invincible.
"Until I have enough strength, it's safer for me to stay in the Forging Department." Zhou Shu thought to himself, "Although there are some people with ulterior motives here, they don't dare to act openly. And only here, I
Only then can we forge weapons and distribute them openly."
The weapons forged by the Forging Department must be equipped for use by the three armies of Daxia, and the three armies of Daxia are all fighting troops. They fight countless battles on weekdays. Once the weapons are in their hands, they will never have to worry about not having a chance to kill the enemy.
It is unrealistic for all the three armies of Daxia to use the weapons he forged, but as long as hundreds or thousands of people use the weapons he forged to kill the enemy, his gains will be unimaginable.
"If you stay in the Forging Department..."
Zhou Shu used the habits of his previous life to analyze the pros and cons of the matter, "Before, I thought that as long as I became a weapon master, I would receive preferential treatment as a technician. Now it seems that I have thought simply."
"This is either the peaceful age of the previous life, or the previous life, and there are many people who do whatever it takes to make profits. The secret recipe for casting high-quality weapons is something that can be passed down by weaponsmiths from generation to generation, and its value is immeasurable."
"Not to mention how I explain the origin of the secret recipe for making weapons in my hand, I don't know how many people will come up with ideas about the secret recipe just because I don't have any background."
"A sharp standard long sword is only a top-quality standard weapon, and the weapon forge may not be interested in it. If it is the secret recipe for casting a top-grade weapon, the weapon forger will be tempted."
"The strength of the weapon-casting master is much stronger than that of the weapon-casting apprentice. The first level of Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill may not be able to withstand it."
"Therefore, you cannot be promoted to a weapon maker until you have enough power to protect yourself. Even if you can cast high-grade weapons, you have to keep it secret!"
Zhou Shu analyzed the pros and cons of the matter one by one in his mind. With the Divine Weapon Atlas, he did not doubt that he could become a weapons master, even if there was only one weapon in the Divine Weapon Atlas.
But currently, it is not a good thing to be promoted to the Weapon Master rashly.
First of all, it is suspicious for a weapon-casting apprentice to suddenly be promoted to a weapon-casting master without any mentor.
Just by showing the sharpness of the standard long knife, some people are already coveting it. If you rashly come up with the secret recipe for making a high-quality weapon, you don’t know how many people will take notice!
Zhou Shu didn’t want to be caught and tortured.
Furthermore, before he was anxious to be promoted to the Weapon Master because he was worried that he would die young due to overwork, but now he no longer has to worry about this problem.
The first level of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Kung Fu has been completed. Not to mention other things, with his current strength, forging three or five weapons a day is just like playing. Is he exhausted?
That is impossible.
The amount of tasks required by the Weapon Casting Apprentice is already very easy for Zhou Shu to complete.
"Stay in the Weapon Forging Department as an Weapon Forging Apprentice, and try to forge as many sharp standard long knives as possible to accumulate strength. You must not be promoted to Weapon Forging Master at will until you are absolutely sure!"
After thinking about it again and again, Zhou Shu said to himself.
At the same time, there was a mansion not far from Zhou Shu's workshop.
In the courtyard of the mansion, Xiao Zongshui flicked his wrist, and the blood on the long knife fell to the ground, and the blade became smooth and bright again.
Not far in front of him, a black dog almost half the height of a man fell to the ground with a crash, and the dog's head and body were suddenly separated.
Xiao Zongshui actually used a living creature to test the knife!
"Clang——"
He flicked the blade with his fingers, and the blade made a crisp sound.
He nodded with satisfaction and said to himself, "This knife is sharper than I thought. An ordinary standard long knife can break through one layer of armor, which is considered good. This knife can actually break through three layers of armor and kill flesh and blood.
There is no hindrance at all, this Zhou Shu is really a talent."
"Originally I had given up the plan of fighting for it, but I didn't expect that Zhou Shu would give me a glimmer of hope." Xiao Zongshui showed a thoughtful look on his face, "This sword may actually work, but I don't know for sure."
As if he had made a decision, Xiao Zongshui flicked his sleeves, pushed the door open, and walked towards the place where the apprentices of the forging soldiers lived.
