Chapter 174 Green Dragon Crescent Blade (2)
When he saw the saber in Zhou Shu’s hand, he could already tell that if he used this saber on the battlefield, it would definitely be extremely powerful!
It’s a winner, Chen Ji thought. He was an expert in using sabers. He didn’t even need to use his hands to confirm that the saber Zhou Shu took out was definitely stronger than his current weapon!
This was the intuition of a martial artist and not a Forging Master’s standards of judging the quality of a weapon.
Chen Ji was very glad that he had agreed to change his weapon.
!!
Otherwise, he would have regretted it for a hundred years! “This is the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, also known as the Frost Fair Blade,” Zhou Shu said casually. “I just forged it yesterday.
“It doesn’t have any battle records and is temporarily ranked twenty-eighth on the Yellow-grade Armament Manual. It’s barely pa.s.sable, “Zhou Shu said unhappily.
“General Chen, I hope that you will be able to improve its ranking so that it will at least enter the top twenty.”
Chen Ji: “…”
Ranked 28th on the Yellow-grade Armament Manual?
And this is barely pa.s.sable?
The Flaming Sunset Saber had barely entered the top hundred.
His original weapon couldn’t even enter the top hundred!
There were tens of thousands of Yellow-grade weapons in the world. Chen Ji didn’t even dare to think about a weapon in the top thirty of the Yellow-grade Armament Manual.
“General Chen, give it a try first,” Zhou Shu said casually. “This Green Dragon Crescent Blade is a little heavy. See if you can get used to
it.”
Zhou Shu handed over the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
Chen Ji reached out and caught the Green Dragon Crescent Blade with both hands. His arms were trembling slightly.
It was due to excitement.
“Wonderful saber!” Chen Ji exclaimed.
He lowered his arm, and the next moment, the spiritual essence in his body circulated as he lifted the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
This Green Dragon Crescent Blade was indeed quite heavy.
But for Chen Ji, a fifth-rank martial artist, this weight was just right!
Chen Ji brandished the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. He could even imagine how lethal it would be when he used it on horseback!
Standing at the side, Lu Wenshuang watched Chen Ji try out the saber.
Her eyes flashed with surprise, but she said nothing If it had been a sword, she would have wanted to try it.
She was like a competent maid standing by the side. If one didn’t pay attention, they might even forget about her existence. Chen Ji was extremely excited. He thanked Zhou Shu, then walked into the courtyard and performed a saber technique.
Zhou Shu watched with interest. Compared to sword techniques, his saber techniques were stronger. The Heavenly Saber Art Technique was no joke.
Naturally, he could tell that Chen Ji’s saber skills were not top-notch. Every move he made was aimed at extreme lethality. There was even a faint shadow of Heavenly Saber Art’s moves.
He was enlightened. Chen Ji must have comprehended the saber intent in the capital’s Saber Cave.
Zhou Shu had a deep understanding of the Heavenly Saber Art Technique, and the Heavenly Saber Art Technique focused on saber intent. It didn’t focus on moves. If Zhou Shu was willing, he could also use the Heavenly Saber Art Technique with the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. He could even create some suitable moves for the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
He rubbed his chin and said, “General Chen, you should lower your hand slightly for this move.”
Chen Ji was stunned for a moment. He did as he was told and felt that his moves were much smoother.
He glanced at Zhou Shu in surprise.
Marquis Zhou’s cultivation should be at the seventh rank of the Martial Dao.
He has such a deep understanding of the saber?
Yes, I remember now. When I was comprehending saber intent in the Saber Cave, Marquis Zhou was also there. He comprehended saber intent in less than an hour.
At the time, Marquis Zhou hadn’t even entered the ranks.
Zhou Shu didn’t know that Chen Ji was one of the few people who had comprehended saber intent back then.
At the time, Zhou Shu and Chen Ji didn’t know each other. He didn’t really care who was in the cave either.
Lu Wenshuang also glanced at Zhou Shu in surprise. Everyone knew that Zhou Shu’s expertise was in forging sabers.
Before he became a Forging Master, he was famous for forging sabers.
The Huben Saber, Hundred Refinements Ring Pommel Saber, Horse Slaying Saber, and even Great Xia’s Dragon Sparrow Saber…
In terms of understanding the saber, if Zhou Shu claimed to be second, no one would dare claim to be first!
It was not surprising that he knew saber techniques so well.
So, he’s better at saber techniques, Lu Wenshuang thought. He’s skilled in saber techniques, but his sword techniques are also so impressive. Can someone be so talented in the Martial Dao?
She had always believed that no matter which weapon she chose to cultivate, she had to be determined. If she wanted to practice her sword techniques, she had to give up everything else.
It was the same for saber techniques.
If one cultivated multiple weapons, their understanding would be shallow.
But now, Zhou Shu seemed to have overturned her perception.
Zhou Shu didn’t notice Lu Wenshuang’s expression. He discussed a few more moves with Chen Ji before speaking with a smile.
“With the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in your hands, General Chen, it should be useful.”
“You flatter me, Marquis.” Chen Ji was a little embarra.s.sed. “Marquis, this Green Dragon Crescent Blade is really too good. I can’t-“
Before he could finish, Zhou Shu interrupted him. “General Chen, you don’t like it?” “I like it… but it’s too valuable. My original weapon isn’t worth…” Chen Ji stammered.
He held the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and the veins on the back of his hand were exposed.
He couldn’t bear to part with it.
But he couldn’t pretend not to know.
His original weapon was trash compared to the Green Dragon Crescent Blade!
It wouldn’t even be enough to exchange for the Green Dragon Crescent Blade’s hilt!
“As long as you like it,” Zhou Shu said. “As a man, don’t be so wishy-washy. If you like it, take it. If you really feel embarra.s.sed, then use the Green Dragon Crescent Blade to kill more powerful enemies so that its ranking can increase as soon as possible. If it can rise to the top ten of the Yellow-grade Armament Manual, then you will have helped me.”
Zhou Shu waved his hand impatiently.
Chen Ji: “…”
“Don’t worry, Marquis! I will definitely not disgrace the Green Dragon Crescent Blade!”
Within the Great Xia imperial palace, Emperor Yuan Feng looked at Eunuch Zhao’s message with a complex expression.
“The Zhou brat forged the Green Dragon Crescent Blade ranked 28th in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual Armament Manual and gave it to Chen Ji?” Emperor Yuan Feng said in a deep voice. “Yes, Your Majesty,” Eunuch Zhao replied.
He was also somewhat amazed. It had only been a month since the end of the military parade. He had heard that Marquis Zhou had gone into seclusion to forge weapons, but he had never imagined that in a short month, he would actually forge another ranked weapon!
And it was ranked 28th on the Yellow-grade Armament Manual!
He was indeed a genius. Incomprehensible!
Emperor Yuan Feng had a complex expression. This boy is truly a genius! “Great companion, do you think my decision was a little hasty?” Emperor Yuan Feng asked. Eunuch Zhao had served Emperor Yuan Feng for many years and naturally understood what he was asking
He shook his head. “Although I don’t know anything about forging, I also know that it is beneficial to have more experience and knowledge about forging. With Miss Lu’s personal protection, the marquis’s safety shouldn’t be a problem.”
“What if Great Qin goes crazy and kills Lu Wenshuang and the Zhou brat?” Emperor Yuan Feng suddenly said.
One was Great Xia’s number one Martial Dao genius, and the other was Great Xia’s number one forging genius. If anything happened to them, wouldn’t it be a great loss to Great Xia?
“I don’t think so,” Eunuch Zhao said hesitantly. “There are first-rank experts protecting them in secret, and Great General Meng is leading them personally. If Great Qin wants to kill them, they will have to mobilize their army…”
Emperor Yuan Feng frowned. He regretted his decision a little, but the imperial decree had already been issued. It was too late to regret now.
“Arrange for a few more experts to follow them secretly. Also, get Mi Ziwen to lead the army and be prepared at any time!” Emperor Yuan Feng said in a deep voice.
“Yes.” Eunuch Zhao thought, If you knew this would happen, why did you make such a decision in the first place?
“Great companion, the Zhou boy is from the Forging Division, and he forged the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. Has he registered it with the Forging Division and handed over the commission?” Emperor Yuan Feng suddenly said.
Eunuch Zhao: “…”
