Chapter 82 - Soldier Gongzi
"BOOM!"Li Mu struck his hammer with both hands, causing an ear-splitting explosion sound to ring out. Some outer sect disciples who were closer to him could not help but cover their ears, because the sound was too loud, it was so loud that they could almost turn deaf.
Li Mu sighed to himself. He took out the partridge that was burning red and placed it on the bronze table.
"I"ll have to trouble everyone to make way for me so that I won"t be unable to move my limbs!"Li Mu waved to the surrounding people, and upon hearing that, everyone retreated, leaving a large s.p.a.ce for Li Mu.
"Clang!"
With a crisp sound that shook the sky, Li Mu raised the hammer in his hand and smashed it onto the partridge on the bronze table. The hammer caused the entire bronze table to tremble, and the partridge even jumped up."Clang!"
Li Mu hammered again and again, both of his arms seemed to have limitless energy, they kept falling down, each hammer strike causing the entire bronze table to tremble, and after a few more, there were around twenty hammers falling down.
As time pa.s.sed, the river crossing step beneath Li Mu"s feet also began to circulate. He continuously changed directions to strike at the partridge, his entire being was like a ghost, his speed was extremely fast, and with every strike of his hammer, he hit different positions of the partridge.As time pa.s.sed, the surrounding spectators were all dumbstruck. Was this even a human, how could he possess such speed while wielding a pair of heavy hammers? This was simply unimaginable, even the existence of an Innate Realm was not able to do it, not to mention Li Mu, who was only at the Postnatal realm.
"Boom!"
The bronze table finally collapsed with an explosive sound, breaking into seven or eight pieces, but even so, Li Mu still did not stop. With a swing of his legs, he threw the partridge into the air, and at the same time, forcefully stomped with his legs, causing his entire body to jump.Clang! "Clang!"
In the air, Li Mu"s hammers continued to swing, both hammers struck down onto the partridge s, his poise peerless.
"Wah!" Senior Sister Cai Qing, look what that is doing! "
Just at this time, two young Gold Jade Sect female disciples walked in from outside the entrance of the Weapon Refining Pavilion. One of them was dressed in white and the other in yellow, they were actually an outer disciple of Gold Jade Sect and an inner disciple.The one who spoke was a young lady dressed in white, and her face was filled with shock as she pointed at Li Mu who was jumping up into the air to temper the partridge.
The girl in the yellow dress was extremely beautiful, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, slim waist, long hair, and unfathomable beauty. Under the guidance of the woman in white, she happened to see Li Mu casting a weapon in the air, and her interest immediately perked as she walked over with the girl in white."Just a little bit more, Mu Xiaozi, you have to remove all the impurities, only then will you have the best fit of the Essence Qi, dancing in the wind!"
An excited voice sounded out in Li Mu"s mind, as though the person who was forging the weapon was not Li Mu, but himself.
Li Mu landed on the ground, the muscles in his arms bulged and smashed onto the falling partridge. The terrifying force sent the partridge flying and Li Mu, who had just finished hammering, did not even hesitate as his body flashed and arrived in front of the direction the partridge was shot from.
Li Mu"s body continued to change directions, and after he made the hammer strike, he immediately went to the other side to receive the partridge, and followed up with another wave of the hammer.
Li Mu was like a crazy demon, his movement speed reached his limit. Many of the surrounding spectators couldn"t help but wipe their eyes, unable to believe that what was happening in front of them was real.The partridge danced chaotically in the air under Li Mu"s continuous strikes, and continuously changed its position. However, it did not land, because Li Mu did not give it a chance to land at all.
"What a fast movement technique. Little Yu, who is this person? He is only a Houtian realm disciple, how could he wear the clothes of an inner court disciple!"
Looking at Li Mu who was moving so fast that he looked like a ghost, the girl in yellow could not help but ask the lady in white beside her who also had a silly look on her face.The white-clothed female disciple who was pulled back to reality by the yellow dressed girl"s words shook her head, she thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Recently I heard that there was a person in the Lesser Heaven stage who was accepted as an honorary disciple by Elder Chi Yun, breaking the sect"s traditional rules and become an inner disciple before the day after tomorrow. It"s very possible that he"s this person, something seems to be called … Li Mu! That"s right, he"s called Li Mu! "
"Li Mu, that"s him! It is said that not long ago, Zhong Hao"s useless arm was chopped off, and he truly has some skill, I just did not expect him to even know how to forge weapons! "
The girl in the yellow dress frowned, she looked at Li Mu with eyes that contained neither joy nor anger.
"AHH!" "Clang!"Accompanied by Li Mu"s loud shout and the crisp sound of fine iron, the partridge turned into a ray of silver light and shot towards the already collapsed bronze table.
"Whoosh!"Without the slightest bit of delay, the silver sword stabbed straight into the bronze blade, its blade being abnormally sharp.
"Good sword!" It really is a good sword! "
Seeing the partridge piercing through the bronze table, the surroundings rang with warm applause.
Li Mu gasped for breath as he put down the two hammers in his hands. He walked in front of the crumbled bronze table and pulled out the partridge, then he placed it into the snow white Refining Weapon water."Tsssssss." "Sizzle …"
Soon after, a white mist came out from the copper cylinder. This process was called the Tempering Weapon, and it used the coldest liquid possible to cool down the weapon, causing the weapon to become even more solid.
The silver partridge was clearly different from before. The sword was three feet long and the sword hilt was three feet long. Its entire body flickered with a silver light, making it look even more gorgeous and eye-catching.
"Ding!"
Li Mu flicked the body of the partridge and let out a clear sword hum.
"Dragon Roar!" This is the legendary Dragon"s Roar. My G.o.d, how can a weapon of this level appear in front of my eyes! This is the ultimate goal of a Weapons Craftsmen! To think that it would be possible to create a treasured sword that would emit the cry of a dragon! "
As his words left his mouth, it caused another stir. These outer sect disciples who had lived their lives as a weapon for many years naturally knew what the Dragoncry Sword represented. It was the ultimate realm of an ordinary weapon.The reason why common weapons were called ordinary weapons was because apart from their flexibility, sharpness, and hardness, they didn"t have any other special effects.
Spiritual Treasures could only be refined by experts at the sacred level. This was a well-known fact in the cultivation world. Therefore, the term weapon Forge Master referred to the people who forged ordinary weapons. Naturally, there were many people in the cultivation world who could refine spiritual treasures, and those existences were known as weapons craftsmen.In the world of the Weapons Craftsmen, there were a total of ten grades of Common Equipment, which were from Grade 1 to 9. Above Grade 9 was a top quality Common Weapon, also known as the semi-spiritual treasure, and as the name implied, it was the strongest equipment beneath the Spirit Treasure realm.
"Good boy, this sword has already reached the peak of the eighth-grade, but it"s a pity it"s only a sliver away from the ninth grade. If it wasn"t for the fact that the original material is a bit inferior and the conditions are a bit crude, it might have been able to go even higher!"Although it was somewhat regretful, he was still very pleased in his heart. He never thought that Li Mu was so talented at forging weapons, to think that he would actually be able to create a Grade Eight Common Weapons on his first try.
"Eighth rank!" Didn"t you say that before the partridge was reforged, it was not even at the fifth grade? Now that it has been raised by three grades, I am already very satisfied. "
secretly replied. Being able to forge a Grade Eight Common Weapons was already the greatest encouragement to him, even though it was mainly by relying on Huntian"s guidance, with the perfect coordination of flurry hammer technique and river crossing step, it was still his first time making a move, so he was extremely happy in his heart.
"Senior brother, you"re truly powerful. This sword is extremely precious, and just by looking at it, you can tell that it"s quite decent. Can you open our eyes and see what rank this sword has reached?"An outer court disciple said with an excited expression.
The true essence in Li Mu"s body surged and poured into the partridge in his hands. The partridge let out a cry and released a rich silver light.
"Peak of Grade Eight!"
After feeling it for a while, Li Mu excitedly stated the rank of the partridge.
After Li Mu injected his true essence, he discovered that the fusion rate of his true essence had reached a total of eighty percent, almost ninety percent, but it was still lacking by a thin line, and immediately knew the true level of the weapon."What!?" Eighth rank! "
"This is impossible, how can he reach the eighth rank!"
"Even the so-called strongest inner sect disciple, Senior Brother Rahu, can only forge a seventh-grade weapon!""That"s right. It was said that a lot of materials were wasted on one occasion, and it took me five days and five nights to create a newly advanced eighth-grade common weapon. It was said that this was the result of adding a lot of supplementary materials to enhance the quality of the weapon!"
"Senior-apprentice Brother, can we have a test to see what grade it is?"Some of the soldiers made a suggestion.
"Test grade?" How do I test it? Could it be that everyone is here to give it a try? Apologies, I"m not interested! "
Li Mu did not want to waste too much time, so he immediately rejected her.
"That"s easy. Just a single sword strike from the military strength testing gong outside the door will let you know the rank of the gong."The one who spoke was Zhou Xian Sheng, and after he finished speaking, he immediately received everyone"s approval, following that, Li Mu left the Weapon Forging Pavilion with the rest of the people, and arrived in front of the main entrance, where there were two meter long large gongs on both sides of the doors.
The copper gong looked extremely ancient, as if it had endured the pa.s.sage of time. On its surface, there were even many sword marks.
"How do we test this?"Looking at the huge gongs in front of him, Li Mu was at a loss of what to do. Before coming here, he had seen these two large gongs, but he did not know what they were used for.
"That"s simple. Senior Apprentice Brother, infuse your true essence into the sword and you will be able to see the rank after slashing at it with all of your strength."
"That"s right!" "After the first strike, there would be a few rings from the military gong. If there were eight rings, then it would undoubtedly be an eighth-grade sound."
Seeing that Li Mu did not understand the use of the Soldier Gongzi, some outer sect disciples hurriedly explained.Li Mu did not drag him down, the partridge in his hand released a bright silver light, and then slashed the measuring gong.
