(Thank you to every friend who collected, voted and rewarded. The weather is freezing, so be careful to protect yourself from the cold)
November 18, 395 in the Zhenwu Calendar.
More than three months have passed since Chen Zong became a warrior and officially became a clan disciple.
After walking out of the Cangwu Building, Chen Zong raised his head and looked at the sky before heading to the dining hall.
To this day, he has read through all the miscellaneous notes in the Cangwu Building. It has indeed improved Chen Zong's accumulation of martial arts knowledge and further broadened his horizons, but he still has no clue about the true secret realm.
Think about it, the entire Li family has been passed down for six to seven hundred years, and no one has practiced swordsmanship to the realm of true secrets. Even in the entire Fengwu City, the realm of true secrets is just a legend. Chen Zong can't get worried.
.
"The more anxious you are, the more confusion you will have." Chen Zong took a deep breath and said secretly.
After relaxing his tense mentality, he figured out that it was a great thing to be able to reach the realm of true mystery, but it was impossible to achieve it and he should not be too demanding, otherwise it would only affect his own state of mind and slowly accumulate.
There will only be problems.
When I arrived at the corner of the martial arts training ground, I did not draw my sword, but practiced the Tiger Force Fist several times as a warm-up.
As he practiced, there seemed to be an astonishing tiger roar that resounded through the mountains and forests. Chen Zong felt that his understanding and mastery of the Tiger Force Boxing technique had directly improved.
"It actually broke through." Chen Zong was surprised.
Among the various foundation-building martial arts that he has practiced, it is the first martial arts to reach perfection. However, due to the relationship between sword practice, it is rarely used. However, today, it has also broken through to the realm of subtlety, making Chen Zong very familiar with the realm of subtlety.
There was a different kind of realization.
Sword and boxing, boxing and sword, there are differences but also similarities.
"I don't know when will the Eight True Sword Styles be able to reach the subtlety?" Chen Zong thought secretly, drew his sword and danced.
The three foundation-building swordsmanships that have reached the subtle state still insist on practicing ten times a day, and then fifty times the eight real sword styles and fifty times the basic eighteen styles. Now they lack the conditions to better practice the four key points of the swordsmanship.
It can only be like this.
As for his arms, in the past few months in the foundry, Chen Zong was not only able to easily forge ordinary iron blocks, but also fine iron blocks. He tried to forge a pair of arm guards for himself with heavy iron. After seven or eight failures,
Finally, I forged a pair of heavy iron arm guards that satisfied me.
It has to be said that heavy iron is indeed not very suitable for forging. Every failure is not because Chen Zong's skills are not up to par, but because the heavy iron is too brittle.
The final success of the forging is inseparable from the help of Elder Lie, who added some other materials to increase the toughness of the arm guard.
The arm guards are very thin, but very heavy. One weighs a hundred kilograms. They are put on Chen Zong's forearm. Once the sleeves are covered, they are completely invisible.
When the 50-pound heavy iron plate was replaced by the 100-pound heavy iron arm guard, Chen Zong was still a little uncomfortable, but it didn't take long for him to fully adapt.
After taking a short rest, Chen Zong drew his sword again.
The blade of the Baotie Sword glows with a faint green light and is extremely sharp. The tip of the sword has a cold glow, like a wisp of cold stars in the night sky, and your eyes will feel sore after looking at it a few times.
Draw your sword!
The first stage of light splitting sword technique.
A sword shot out, four sword lights crisscrossing the area.
Another sword shot out, four rays of sword light arranged one after another, striking at the same target one after another, leaving a clear trajectory in the air.
"The peak of Xiaocheng is not far away from the realm of Dacheng." Chen Zong said secretly.
People like Chen Guzhan and Chen Fenghua are still at the entry level of the first level of human-level martial arts, which shows how difficult it is to practice human-level martial arts.
The reason why level martial arts is difficult to practice is because every time you practice, you often need to activate your qi and blood, and every time you practice level martial arts, you will consume the power of your qi and blood. It is destined that every time you practice level martial arts, you will not be as good as the foundation-building martial arts.
of long term.
After all, the power of qi and blood is very limited compared to physical strength. Generally, it can only be used to run exercises or allow it to recover on its own. Even the young masters of big families do not dare to take excessive pills to recover, which is harmful and useless.
External force is always external force. Taking an appropriate amount can have a auxiliary effect, and the body will naturally eliminate its side effects, that is, some impurities. However, if you take too much at one time, the impurities will not be eliminated in time and will accumulate little by little. Eventually,
affect oneself.
The higher the level of martial arts, the more powerful the power will be, and the consumption of energy and blood will also increase. However, after using Small City Peak Spectral Glance thirteen times in a row, Chen Zong felt that all the energy and blood in his body was almost exhausted.
His face turned pale.
"The limit should be about fifteen times. If you reach the realm of Dacheng, I'm afraid it will be even less."
After using it twice more, all the energy and blood in his body was indeed consumed. Chen Zong's face turned pale, and he felt empty inside his body, with a feeling of hollowness and weakness. However, he could still hold the sword and practice the sword.
What is consumed is only the power of Qi and blood, and most of the body's power is still retained.
Sheathing the sword, Chen Zong concentrated on using the Fierce Tiger Kung Fu to transport the power of qi and blood and speed up recovery. The recovery efficiency of qi and blood power varied greatly with or without the technique.
For example, the Fierce Tiger Kung Fu is a middle-grade human-level kung fu, which can increase the recovery speed by 100% or doubled. If it is a low-grade human-grade kung fu, it can only increase by 50%, while a high-grade human-grade kung fu can increase the recovery speed by 150%.
Chen Zong found that every time he practiced swordsmanship, he exhausted his energy and blood and then used the Fierce Tiger Technique to restore it, which could significantly promote the practice of Fierce Tiger Technique. He could feel that he was one step closer to mastering the first level of Fierce Tiger Technique.
, not far away.
This place has long been Chen Zong’s special place to practice swordsmanship, and no one will come to interfere. As for Chen He, even if he still hates Chen Zong, he does not dare to cause trouble again. After all, Chen Zong is ranked among the fourth in Fengwu.
Xiaoying, who was given the title of True Sword, couldn't take action personally, so he let the same fourth-level Qi and Blood Realm deal with Chen Zong, so he might not be his opponent.
…
"Chen Zong, don't forge fine iron today, but try to forge a sword."
In the foundry, Elder Lie said as Chen Zongcai stepped into the foundry.
"Forging a sword?" Chen Zong was a little surprised and a little moved when he heard this.
"Yes, don't you want to forge a sword for yourself?" Elder Lie's voice was full of temptation: "Think about it, wouldn't it be more wonderful if you could hold the sword you forged and fight against all the masters and overpower the geniuses?
?”
Seeing Chen Zong's excited expression, Elder Lie laughed secretly. He wanted to accept Chen Zong as his disciple and teach him blacksmithing skills, but the other party was not interested. After he went back and thought hard, he changed his strategy and adopted roundabout tactics, instead of accepting disciples.
From time to time, he gave Chen Zong some pointers and slowly mentioned his interest in casting.
Now, after several months of observation, thinking and inquiry, he finally came up with another way, which was to let Chen Zong learn to forge swords.
Sword practitioners are good at swordsmanship. If they have the ability, they will naturally be willing to forge a good sword for themselves based on their own abilities. As long as Chen Zong is moved, then the forging skills can be taught to him bit by bit.
The name of master and disciple also has the reality of master and disciple.
Thinking about it, Elder Lie couldn't help but cry because he was so smart.
"Forge your own sword..." Chen Zong thought deeply.
"During this period, I was reading hundreds of volumes of miscellaneous notes in the Zangwu Building. There was a sentence in it that said, "Forge swords to learn swords, but there was no explanation at all. At that time, I was focused on looking for traces of the true secret realm, and I didn't care..."
…”
"Perhaps, we can give it a try?"
Thinking of this, Chen Zong became even more excited.
When he practices swordsmanship, one is his preference, and the other is to have stronger strength. Because of his preference, he will naturally love swords more. If he can make his own sword, he will watch a good sword being born in his own hands, thinking that he can hold it in his own hands.
How wonderful it is to compete with the geniuses of the same generation and the masters of the older generation with a carefully forged sword.
Thinking of this, the beating speed of the heart increases greatly, like the roar of a drum.
"Think about it, how glorious it would be if a famous sword was forged." Elder Lie's voice sounded again.
"Famous sword passed down from generation to generation?" Chen Zong was puzzled.
"It seems you don't know yet, so let me tell you." Elder Lie saw Chen Zong's confusion and quickly continued to arouse his interest: "Weapons are divided into levels, the lowest is the ordinary iron level, followed by
The refined iron level, and above that is the precious iron level, and the precious iron level is not the end, because there are still three levels further up."
Chen Zong was indeed attracted and listened attentively.
"Above the treasure iron level, it is called the treasure iron level. The difference between the treasure iron level weapons and the treasure iron level weapons is like the difference between the qi and blood realm and those above the qi and blood realm." Elder Lie shook his head and said:
"If you want to forge precious iron-level weapons, you need not only precious ores, but also superb forging skills. If the three levels of ordinary iron, fine iron, precious iron, and precious iron are ten times different in value, then precious iron
The value of grade weapons is more than a hundred times that of treasure iron grade."
Chen Zong's heart skipped a beat. A precious iron-level sword was already so sharp, so what about a precious iron-level sword that was worth a hundred times more?
"It's above the precious iron level..." Elder Lie deliberately paused before continuing: "It's called the divine iron level, and its value is more than a hundred times higher than the precious iron level."
"God Iron Level!" Chen Zong's mouth went dry. If he remembered correctly, what Elder Lie just said was that there should be another level above the God Iron Level.
"Above the Divine Iron level, it is called the Legend of the World, and it is also called the Famous Weapon of the Legend. As for the sword, it is naturally called the Famous Legend of the Legend."
"Each of the famous weapons passed down from generation to generation is not only of better quality than the divine iron level, but also contains a wonderful story. Its value can no longer be measured by money." Elder Lie's tone revealed infinite yearning: "In this life,
If I could see with my own eyes a famous weapon passed down from generation to generation, I would be satisfied."
"Famous weapons handed down from ancient times...famous swords handed down from ancient times..." Chen Zong repeated in a low voice.
Then...how elegant should it be?
"The profession of foundry is divided into levels. For example, if you can cast ordinary iron, you are considered a foundry apprentice. If you can cast fine iron, you are an ordinary foundry, which means ordinary foundry. If you can cast precious iron,
He is an elite forger, called a precision forger, and I am a precision forger." With the last words of Elder Lie, he put gold on his face. In fact, if he wants to cast precious iron, he has to look at it.
Luck can only be considered as a fine caster.
"How about casting precious ironware?" Chen Zong couldn't help but ask.
"Master Forger." Elder Lie replied quickly: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, now, listen carefully, I will teach you how to forge a sword."
As he said that, he immediately started explaining without giving Chen Zong time to think.
