Soon, Xu Xingyu and the dragon-slaying knife extracted the originally majestic water beasts. In the end, only their corresponding demigod-level blood crystals were extracted.
After extracting the power of the three water beasts, the Dragon-Slaying Sword stopped extracting Xu Xingyu's soul power as if it had eaten and drank enough. It seemed that it had been completely repaired.
However, as the holder, Xu Xingyu knew that the Dragon-Slaying Sword matter was not over yet. The biggest evidence was that he did not receive the notice that the second test was completed.
The content of Xu Xingyu's second test of the Nine Dragon God Exams is to obtain the approval of the Dragon-Slaying Sword within one day. In theory, Xu Xingyu should be considered to have obtained the approval of the Dragon-Slaying Sword after completing the Dragon-Slaying Sword's master recognition ceremony.
However, the news and rewards of passing the assessment did not appear in Xu Xingyu's mind, which means that Xu Xingyu seemed to have completed the assessment, but in fact he did not.
This reminded Xu Xingyu that something similar had happened in a plane next to Douluo. He had clearly performed an artifact recognition ceremony, but at the critical juncture, he had to conduct a second recognition ceremony, which made the teammate of that team worse.
The entire army was wiped out at one point, and he suffered considerable injuries.
The reason for this is that one, it seems to be Ji Dong, whose artifact, the Vulcan Sword, once sealed a second-level god, which caused the artifact to evolve directly after gathering the missing Heavenly Jade.
Only then did the so-called second recognition of the Lord come about.
Xu Xingyu's Dragon-Slaying Sword is in a similar situation. After absorbing the energy of the three semi-god-level water beasts and the fairy spirit contained in the Divine Dragon Pond, the Dragon-Slaying Sword also begins to evolve.
However, the difference is that the Dragon-Slaying Sword does not require additional energy replenishment. The fairy spirit energy and the energy of the three water beasts extracted from the Shenlong Pond for a long time have already entered a saturated state.
Therefore, all the Dragon-Slaying Sword needs is time to digest this energy, and it will actively evolve and drag Xu Xingyu into the second master recognition ceremony.
The problem is that Xu Xingyu doesn't have much time here! According to Xu Xingyu's observation, it will take at least a week or so for the Dragon-Slaying Sword to completely digest the energy.
But Xu Xingyu was only given about a day for his second test!!! This was too late!!!
When Xu Xingyu was distressed, Buyer said by the side: "Dad, I have a way to speed up the time of the Dragon-Slaying Sword, but that method is a bit difficult."
Xu Xingyu suppressed the impatience in his heart and asked calmly: "Buyer, why don't you tell me what the method is first? I have nothing else to pay attention to now. No matter how difficult your method is, you must try it."
After receiving Xu Xingyu's promise, Buyer slowly said: "The best way to quickly complete the evolution of the Dragon-Slaying Sword is to give birth to the new sword spirit of the Dragon-Slaying Sword in advance. Only with the blessing of the weapon spirit can the Dragon-Slaying Sword be slain.
The sword will actively and quickly digest the energy of Qi Pure Village to complete the evolution."
Xu Xingyu frowned and said, "Then how do we give birth to the sword spirit of the Dragon-Slaying Sword? The previous sword spirit of the Dragon-Slaying Sword has been wiped out, and now there is no sign of giving birth to a new sword spirit after such a long time."
"Actually, it's not that there are no signs at all." Buyer explained: "I can feel that the Dragon-Slaying Sword itself still retains a certain spirituality, but this spirituality is not enough for it to condense enough intelligence to become a weapon spirit."
"Therefore, the safest way is to gather its spirit through forging. In this way, theoretically, the Dragon-Slaying Sword can obtain a new weapon spirit, but..."
"only?"
"It's just that even if you don't need extra materials, to forge a magical weapon like the Dragon-Slaying Sword, you must at least be at the level of a so-called divine craftsman. In other words, your forging level must be at the level of a heavenly forging."
"The level of Tiandian." Xu Xingyu murmured.
The so-called heavenly forging is the highest level of metal that a person can forge without becoming a god. The sublimation of metal can communicate with the laws of heaven and earth, attract thunder and disaster, and imprint the laws on it. It can be said that only one can achieve such a god.
Only those who have made great achievements can be regarded as true craftsmen.
Xu Xingyu's current level can only be regarded as that of a saint craftsman. The most forging level is soul forging, which is still far away from the level of heaven forging.
Of course, Xu Xingyu himself knows the relevant knowledge on how to implement the Heavenly Alchemy, but at most he has no practical experience.
And this is also due to the experience of being a plane in the original world at that time, which allowed Xu Xingyu to explore the in-depth knowledge about forging from the laws of the plane.
As for the formal soul forging, it was when he repaired Ma Xiaotao's battle armor after the battle with the Counter Spirit Alliance. During the repair process, he accidentally got the inspiration to forge all the metal of Ma Xiaotao's battle armor into soul forging, so that
The first three-character battle armor in Douluo Continent appears.
Therefore, the current Xu Xingyu can be regarded as a holy craftsman with the knowledge of divine craftsmanship, but he does not have any experience in forging heavenly forgings (if there is any conflict with the previous one, this shall prevail).
If the current Xu Xingyu were allowed to practice Heavenly Training rashly, the success rate would be less than 20%!
Buyer also knew about this, so she said that this method was very difficult for Xu Xingyu.
But since there was no other way, Xu Xingyu had no choice but to do it. Xu Xingyu took out his two heavy silver hammers that had been upgraded to soul-forged and smashed them in the direction of the dragon-slaying knife.
The sound of "dong-dong" began to resound in the Shenlong Pond, and with each stroke of Xu Xingyu, a faint colored mist began to surround Xu Xingyu and be absorbed by the Dragon-Slaying Sword.
These dense fogs are the so-called spiritual energy. It is by absorbing this spiritual energy that normal metals can brew their own wisdom, allowing the metal to reach the level of spiritual forging.
And the soul forging on top of that is actually to give the metal the so-called soul, so that the spiritual forging metal that can originally be regarded as a plant-like life form can be promoted to the same existence as an animal life form, which is the process of giving the metal wisdom.
Whenever Xu Xingyu forges the Dragon-Slaying Sword, the Dragon-Slaying Sword will begin to absorb the accumulated spiritual energy. At the same time, it will also better absorb the energy from the three major water beasts during this process.
However, after an incident, Xu Xingyu was not satisfied with the speed of absorption, because if it continued at this rate, it would take a day or two to complete the forging, and his second test would end in failure.
Although Xu Xingyu understands the principle of haste, waste in speed, but now he simply does not have time to complete all of this slowly due to the time limit.
Therefore, Xu Xingyu made a cut on his wrist without thinking, and a large amount of nine-color blood began to splash on the dragon-slaying knife, and a blood sacrifice began.
