Chapter 562: Mutation in the Arena
As soon as the sky dawned, the entire Excalibur City became noisy. Figures were constantly falling in the sky, and it was very lively. In the middle of Excalibur City, there is a huge square, and behind the square, there is a sword-shaped statue with the tip of the sword facing the sky, which is magnificent.
At this moment, on the square, there are already full of cases, and red ribbons are hung. In the middle, there are dozens of stone platforms, placed at a distance from each other. There was a constant stream of people pouring into the square, dressed in all kinds of costumes, and soon the whole square was full of people sitting and standing. Especially in the middle seat, there was a group of people from the Sword City Sword Family who were both men, women, and children, and their faces were all ugly and abnormal.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the Blade Forging Conference. Next, Sword City, the city lord of Divine Sword City, is honored to be the host of this conference and comes to greet everyone. Excalibur ......" said with a smile as he walked on the high platform under the sword-shaped statue. But before his words fell, he was interrupted.
"Stop telling jokes, let's get started. A sneer suddenly sounded, and the voice shouted Zhenyuan, covering the entire square.
As soon as the words fell, many people looked at the person who shouted, but they found that it was Yue Lai from the Thousand Swords Gate, and no one immediately reprimanded him. Yue Lai triumphantly accepted the gaze of others, and even looked at the interrupted sword line on the high platform proudly, he finally looked at Jian Ling'er and raised his eyebrows. And sitting next to him was Jian Xin'er, who was smiling at the moment. Many people secretly thought that it was not worth it to act for the sword, but because of the strength of the Thousand Swordsmen, they didn't dare to say anything to help.
"Hehe, since the young master of the Thousand Swords Gate is in a hurry, I won't say much about it. Let's start this blade forging conference. Rules, or old rules. Jian Xing said with a smile, without the slightest feeling of embarrassment.
With the calm stance of the sword line, a group of people holding the stove began to enter one after another. After a quarter of an hour of preparation, hundreds of figures began to get busy. This is the primary election for the Blade Forging Conference, and anyone can participate, as long as they are not more than 100 years old. Ten people are selected in the primary, and they are refined again to determine the ranking. When the player is refining the weapon, in addition to not directly attacking it, there is no rule that it cannot affect the player's performance. Among the hundreds of figures, there were two layers of clothes wearing Excalibur City. In addition, there are three players with a large number of people, namely the Fire Cloud Cave, the Blade Mountain Villa, and the Fire Palace. In addition to the Fire Cloud Cave, the other two are also well-known forging forces, but they are relatively smaller. The rest are some idle refiners, many of whom participate in order to win the attention of others or the appreciation of big forces. As long as you are looked at, it is a natural thing to be cultivated.
It looks gorgeous, with hundreds of fires. It's just that this collective refining is much more difficult than an independent refining tool. The relative influence of the flame temperature has a great impact on the material. The final thrashing stage was even more unbearable, after all, hundreds of hammer blows put together could easily disrupt the refiner's rhythm. When the rhythm is messed up, the material is easy to destroy.
"It's naïve. A mocking voice sounded, and many refiners were beaten by the affected hands, but fortunately, they were found again. However, there are also inexperienced ones who directly scrap the materials. The person who said it laughed proudly, this person was Yue Lai. "This childish way of hammering the hammer is really naïve. Not being able to control the fire and forging the blade is really a shame for our cultivation world. ”
As soon as Yue Lai's words fell, a batch of scrapped items were scrapped on the field again. If the material is hammered and forged and destroyed, it can only leave the scene in disgrace and cannot affect others, which is the rule. However, his words caused many old men to nod and shake their heads again. Fire control forging blade is also a method, which directly controls fire to refine materials and shapes, without hammering. The weapons refined by this method are natural, more durable, simpler, and more advanced, and the shortcomings are also obvious, requiring some special materials. The reason why they shook their heads was also this, except for some big factions with particularly deep backgrounds, where were there so many rare materials. It is not so much the rarity of Dao artifacts as the rarity of materials for refining Dao artifacts.
Time passed quickly, and soon, the time for this round had arrived. It is also one of the regulations of the General Assembly. Almost all of them are in an unfinished state, as the materials used in the race are different each time. This time, however, the choice was the most difficult to smelt and hammer, solid stone, a hard material. When smelting, other materials are added to ensure its ductility. If you just hammer this one material, it is difficult to make a mold. The ratio of other materials is also one of the tests, which increases the difficulty. Excluding the previous failures, there were only sixteen weapons that were successfully built in the end. The rest is the contrast. Because of the particularity of the stone, the configuration of the material directly affects the hardness of the weapon. Except for an inferior weapon that was directly eliminated, all other weapons that were considered good products were tested, and finally the top ten weapons entered the next round.
Just looking at the result, a smile appeared on Kenxing's face. Among the ten people, seven were from Divine Sword City, while the other three, two were from the Fire Cloud Cave, and the last one was a little strange but from the Thousand Swords Gate. Although there were also refiners in the Thousand Swords Gate, they had never participated in such a competition.
"Let's start the second ......," Jian Xing changed his smile again and walked up to the high platform to announce.
"Wait. Kenxing's words were interrupted again. His face was a little ugly, not because he was interrupted, but because the person who stood up was his third daughter.
"Xin'er, I don't know what you want to say. ”
"Sword City Lord, don't call it so intimate, this is a game, and you want to be respectful. Jian Xin'er said with a smile. Her words made the audience burst into discussions. Jian Ling'er squeezed the armrest of the chair fiercely, and her fingers were a little white. "Sword City Lord, for a long time, Divine Sword City has been known as a place for forging swords. The results this time are also obvious to all. I just don't know if the Sword City Lord dares to make a bet, and the bet is your Divine Sword Villa. If you lose, hand over Excalibur Villa. If you win, you'll get the same value as Excalibur Villa. How?"
"Jian Xin'er, I don't know which one you represent?" Jian Xing asked with an ugly face.
"Of course it's our Thousand Blades. As long as you win, her words, will be honored. If any of you from the Divine Sword Sect wins the master I specially invited, even if you win, how about it, Sword City Lord? If you can't afford to gamble, you can say that you are afraid, I will not entangle. Yue Lai stood up and said to Jian Xing.
Jian Xing looked at the ten people in the audience, and he estimated that there should be three people who were stronger than the refiners of the Thousand Swords Sect. What's more, in full view of everyone, he can't refuse at all.
"Okay, I promise you. Jian Xing finally agreed.
"Let's get started, and let everyone here witness it. The Fire Melt Cave of Shenjian Villa could have been coveted for a long time. After winning, Ben Shao has to take the beautiful woman into the barbecue. Haha......" Yue Lai said a little forgetful.
"The game is on. Kenxing shouted.
As soon as his words fell, it meant that the game had begun. However, the next moment, there was a sudden change in the field. The three refiners of the Divine Sword Villa suddenly took out daggers from their arms and stabbed them into their companions' bodies. The people who were also from Divine Sword City were in the middle of the game, and the other three people were defenseless at all and were directly stabbed in the chest. At this time, the masters outside the field reacted, and when they rushed over, they only had time to save the last person. Of the seven refiners of the Divine Sword City, there were only four left in the blink of an eye, and according to the regulations, the other three would be disqualified, that is, there was only one person.
"Haha...... There was infighting. Sword City Lord, your luck is really bad. Yue Lai shouted with a smile.
"Why? why do you do this?" Ken Xing asked angrily. It's just that he didn't expect that just after he asked, the three refiners who assassinated their companions appeared with blood at the corners of their mouths at the same time, their faces turned blue, and they were angry on the spot. "It's you, Kenshin. It's your hands and feet, they're your people. Why did you ruin the Sword Family?"
"Heh, what the Sword City Lord said is really forgetful. You forgot to tell me that the Sword Family was going to be handed over to the two sisters, since it was the Sword Family that had nothing to do with me after all, what was the use of keeping it?" Jian Xin'er sneered. Her words stunned everyone in the Jian family, including her two elder sisters. It turned out that because of this, the sword family was buried.
At this moment, the two contestants in the Huoyun Cave also took out daggers from their arms. It's just that they didn't make a move, but put it in the palm of their hands to play with it, and at the same time looked at the last frightened Divine Sword City refiner.
"I ...... I abstain. I'm sorry, lord, I don't want to die. The last refiner shouted with a pale face.
"It's a foul. Jian Xing said angrily.
"There is no rule in the competition that players are not allowed to carry weapons, right? They didn't hurt anyone, they just held weapons to find some inspiration, Sword City Lord, shouldn't they mind?" Jian Xin'er asked with a smile.
"The Sword Family lost. Jian Xing took a deep look at Jian Xin'er and sat down lonely.
"Haha...... From today on, the Divine Sword Villa is our Thousand Swords Gate, and I hope that the Sword City Lord can empty the Fire Melting Hole as soon as possible, so that the people of our Thousand Swords Gate can be stationed. Yue Lai said with a smile.
"Third sister...... No, Jian Xin'er, you actually colluded with outsiders to seize the ancestral industry, are you still human? I really didn't expect that my former sister was so wolf-hearted, not human. The second lady suddenly stood up, pointed at Jian Xin'er and scolded.
"Thank you for your compliment, I will continue to work hard, and strive to make Excalibur Villa bigger and stronger. Yue Shao promised me that he would be in charge of me in the future. Jian Xin'er said proudly.
"Did Ben Shao agree? Why don't I remember?" Yue Lai suddenly asked the people around him. But his voice rang out in the audience.
"No, young master. I can testify to this, you said that if you win the Divine Sword Villa, of course we will take care of it in the future. One of the disciples beside him shouted loudly.
"That's right. I thought it was Ben Shao's mistake. Miss Xin'er, is there any misunderstanding? However, if Miss Ling'er agrees to Ben Shao's conditions last night, she can take charge of the Excalibur Villa. No, it should be called Thousand Swords Villa, haha......" Yue Lai smiled at Jian Ling'er.
