Chapter 108 Name the SwordLin Beichen dragged his big silver sword and returned to his seat with sparks and lightning. By that time, Bai Qinyun had also returned to her original position.
“Did you really pick this sword?”
When Lin Beichen saw the tsundere little girl pick out that heavy light blue sword that needed to be held with both hands, he was taken aback.
“What do you mean?”
“It"s you who said that this sword is suitable for me,” said Bai Qinyun, like a blown-up rabbit.
“Er…”
Lin Beichen was going to say that he was actually joking, but when he saw that the tsundere little girl was so excited, he was afraid that she would swing the sword to kill him if he said it out, so he wisely changed his mind and said, “Yes, this sword is suitable for you, and I have seen it carefully. Yes, you can rest a.s.sured.”
As a result, the expression on Bai Qinyun"s face changed from cloudy to sunny.
Lin Beichen muttered to himself, “No, that"s not right. When did this little tsundere start to listen to me?”
However, there was one thing that he was not joking about.
Previously, he had used the Spiritual Force to scan the two-handed heavy sword. In terms of aura, this sword"s aura was similar to that of Bai Qinyun.
So, perhaps it was not wrong for the tsundere little girl to choose this sword, wasn"t it?
The other young geniuses and youths were also carefully observing the swords that they had chosen.
Among them, Dongfang Zhan chose a dark red sawtooth sword with a single blade, and the aura was similar to his flame Primordial Energy. Xue Yan chose a thin sword as red as blood, and Song Qingfeng chose a three-edged sword. The gold sword with a jade bone blade chosen by Lin Haitang matched very well with his clothes, and Song Queyi chose a short orange sword…
Lin Beichen specially cast a glance at Cao Potian.
The genius of Baiyun City chose a wide-edged light golden sword.
“Well, since you have finished the selection of swords, I believe that you are very satisfied with your choice. The next part is naming your own sword. Among the guests present, Master Fan Zu"ang, the disciple of Master Fan, can engrave the names on your swords. From now on, this sword belongs to you completely.”
Li Luoran said.
His voice rang clearly in everyone"s ears.
The older generation were all smiling and waiting to see what would happen next.
The younger generation who chose the swords either looked confident or were thinking with their eyebrows knitted.
Naming the sword.
It sounded like a very simple move.
However, in reality, the sword name represented one"s determination.
To a swordsman, the name he gave to his sword would represent what sort of grand ambition and what sort of ambitions were hidden in his heart.
Therefore, this part tested the will of the young swordsmen.
“I"ll name it ‘Fearless".”
Dongfang Zhan handed his blood-red single-sided sawtooth sword to Fan Zu"ang, the sword-forging master.
The elders nodded slightly when they heard that.
Fear sounded the same as sawtooth (in Chinese).
The sword itself, with a sawtooth, was named “Fearless”, and it directly expressed his mind.
And it was quite consistent with Dongfang Zhan"s character.
His last name was Dongfang, and his name was a single word, “Zhan (Battle)”.
There was no fear in a warrior.
He was fearless, and his sword name was “Fearless”. It could be said that he and his sword could be considered as one.
This name sounded like a good name.
Fan Zu"ang was a handsome young man who looked about 26 or 27 years old. He nodded and said, “A nice name.”
As he said that, he ran Mystery Energy and used his finger as a pen to write the word “Fearless” on the blood-colored sawtooth sword in the air.
Bright splendor flickered at the tip of his finger.
It was obviously some kind of secret weapon-casting technique.
As he finished writing, a dark light appeared on the back of the sword. It was the word “Fearless”. However, not only did the sword body remained intact, but it seemed to have given the sword some kind of spirituality, which made it more magical and extraordinary.
As soon as Dongfang Zhan saw it, he was overjoyed.
The others also secretly admired him.
Chu Hen"s face was also filled with amazement as he opened his mouth and said, “Could it be that Brother Fan used the legendary ‘Sword Enlightening" technique? It"s really mysterious and unfathomable. I admire it to the extreme.”
The North Sea Empire had three sacred lands for the swordsmans.h.i.+p, namely, Baiyun City, Nongjian Group, and Xiaojie Sword Abysm. They all had the skills to cast swords.
Among them, the sword-forging skills of the Nongjian Group were the best and dominated the empire.
The second was Baiyun City.
The Xiaojie Sword Abysm was a sacred swordsmans.h.i.+p land for grooming all sorts of a.s.sa.s.sins, suicide soldiers, and spies.
Therefore, Master Fan belonged to the sword-casting school that was ranked third.
This great master of sword-forging had cast numerous swords in his life, and he had four major collections of swords, namely, Bei collection, Huan collection, Li collection, and He collection. He was not only famous in the North Sea Empire, but also well-known in the Aurora Empire and overseas islands. For example, the Blue Bird Sword worn by Lin Beichen was also a standardized product of a collateral sword series of his, and it was very popular on the market.
It was rumored that Master Fan"s sword-forging skills were unfathomable.
What was more legendary was his one unique skill, called “Sword Soul Enlightening”.
He could cast an inscription on the sword, endow it with spirituality, making it have the potential for growth, which could constantly improve its quality under the careful cultivation of its owner.
This secret technique was the world-shaking unique technique of Master Fan when he first established his school.
Even the Baiyun City and the Nongjian Group didn"t have that kind of skill.
Fan Zu"ang raised his head and nodded to Chu Hen. With a smile, he said, “Dean Chu, you flatter me too much. The ‘Sword Soul Enlightening" technique is profound and unfathomable. I can"t practice it unless I"m a Celestial Warrior. My cultivation base isn"t high enough, so I can"t practice it. The technique I used just now was the ‘Sword Spirit Enlightening" that evolved from this secret technique. Its power is less than a tenth of that of the ‘Sword Soul Enlightening". It"s just barely able to infuse a trace of spirit into the sword.”
Everyone had a look of enlightenment on their faces.
Chu Hen praised, “Even if that"s the case, it can still be considered a great technique of this age. Bestowing a spirit on a sword can be considered a G.o.dly technique.”
The seniors also praised him one after another.
Even Ling Junxuan and Qin Lanshu nodded to themselves.
The boys and girls were extremely excited.
It was already a great gain for him to get a chance to choose the sword and a suitable sword for himself tonight. He didn"t expect that he could get Master Fan"s disciple to enlighten his sword with such a secret skill. This was really a lucky chance that he couldn"t get in his daily life.
At this time, Xue Yan took a step forward, handed over his sword vigorously, and said eagerly, “I want to call him… ‘Devil-Slas.h.i.+ng".”
The common enemy of the living beings on the continent was the extraterrestrial devil.
Though the name Devil-Slas.h.i.+ng was a little ordinary, it was also in line with the young man"s character and ambition.
Men should hold swords to punish devils in the outer world.
It was a common ambition, but it was also the loftiest ambition.
Fan Zu"ang nodded. He used the secret skill of “Sword Spirit Enlightening” to carve its sword name.
“My sword is called ‘One Less"…”
“I want to call him Sky-Chopping.”
“‘Hero"s Sword".”
“Peerless.”
The young boys and girls all spoke their names one by one.
Lin Beichen, on the side, laughed out loud.
Some people really were incompetent at naming things.
“What c.r.a.ppy names!”
“What are you laughing at?”
The tsundere little girl came over and asked suspiciously, “Did you come up with a good name?”
Lin Beichen glanced at her.
She was asking me again?
“Is this little tsundere also incompetent at naming things?”
“Have you made up your mind?”
He asked in reply.
Bai Qinyun nodded haughtily at once and said, “I"ve thought it through. I"ll call it Greatsword. It"s simple, direct, and vivid. Devil-Slas.h.i.+ng, Heaven-Destroying, and Hero"s Sword are all too common. There"s no distinctive feature to them at all. My name represents the greatest way, and that is being simple, and sticking to the basics. It"s different from others"…”
Lin Beichen was at a loss for words.
“Little girl, you are not only incompetent at naming things, but also have an abnormal brain.”
“Very good.”
He gave her a thumbs-up and said, “Junior Sister, I admit I"m not as talented as you.”
