On this day, it is the actual combat test before the opening of the second summoning ceremony, and the top 1,000 results of the exam can participate in the summoning ceremony seven days later and become a real summoner.
Promise rushed out of the academy early in the morning and ran to the blacksmith shop in the East End with excitement......
"Where's my sword?!" As soon as Promise rushed into the blacksmith's shop, he shouted loudly.
These days, Xu Promise has been pestering Dongfang Fan to make a sword for himself, but the latter can't resist her, so he can only agree - and today, is the date agreed by the two to take the sword.
"Promise, you're here, Mr. Dongfang is in the foundry room, and he said that it will be completed in half an hour, so you can sit for a while, huh? Why didn't you bring Jin Yan today, I remember you would never go out without Jin Yan...... You said it was a proof of glory and strength......" Liu Yuxin heard the sound and came out of the repair room.
"I don't know why, I feel that the more I use the Golden Swallow Knife recently, the more uncomfortable it becomes...... All I thought about was the sword, and I even thought about it in my dreams...... This afternoon is the actual combat exam, and if I don't get the sword today, I always feel like I won't be able to get into the top 1,000...... Sister Yuxin, I really want a sword, in order to wait for this day, I can't eat almost every day! Xu Promise's eager expression was enough to show the urgency in his heart, and he had only sat down for a few seconds before he stood up excitedly.
Liu Yuxin beckoned and promised to sit down, chatting with her, waiting for the moment when Dongfang Fan succeeded......
Soon after, the knocking sound in the casting room stopped, and Xu Yu suddenly stopped talking to Liu Yuxin, and looked at the door of the casting room in a daze.
After another ten minutes, the door opened, and Dongfang Fan stepped out, carrying a sheathed sword in his hand!
"Take it, don't blame me for not reminding you, if this sword is used to kill strange ghosts, the effect will definitely not be as good as the weapon composed of crystal nuclei...... And ......" Dongfang Fan threw his sword to Xu Promise, and when he saw that the latter didn't seem to hear what he was talking at all, he didn't continue.
"Sword ...... Finally ......" promised to be overjoyed, both hands held the scabbard and the hilt, this sword is three feet long, the hilt swallows the mouth of a tiger-headed jackal, the head and tail of the sword, the scabbard is wooden, together with the scabbard is presented in red.
Promise to hold the hilt of the sword, draw out the long sword, the blade is presented as a silver-white streamer color, the sword jaw at the junction of the hilt and the sword body is golden, the sword jaw is a part of the sword body, the traditional sword jaw is a piece of iron wrapped on the sword body, and Dongfang Fan is on the basis of the original simplified body, grinding out the sword body, and a small section of the sword that remains is the sword jaw, which makes the whole sword have a natural sense of atmosphere!
"Huh? Why is there no blood tank? When the teachers of the academy taught us to choose weapons, they always asked us to choose to open more than two blood slots on the long-bladed weapons, saying that this could effectively consume the enemy's qi and blood. Although Xu Promise was very satisfied and fond of this sword in her heart, it was a bit beyond her common sense to not be able to see the blood groove on the body of the sword.
"First of all, with you now, you can't use this sword to pierce the body of any strange ghost at all, so the blood tank is useless; The second point is that this is a sword, not any other weapon, and the sword I forge will not open the blood groove and the kind of looming and ruthless thing...... Also, if you let me know that you have made a blood groove in your sword, I have the right to take back the sword from your hand. When Dongfang Fan said this, he glanced at the promise very seriously.
"Don't!" Xu Yu wrinkled her nose and put the sword back into the scabbard, her face was full of love, she didn't care if there was a blood trough, but she didn't like Dongfang Fan's words like "have the right to take it back".
"Anyway, thank you for forging this sword for me, by the way, does this sword have a name?"
"This is the first sword...... It's called: Dawn. Dongfang Fan thought for a moment and replied, then turned around and wanted to return to the casting room to continue studying the method of forging swords.
"Hey! This afternoon is the actual exam for the students, do you want to be a spectator? You can also see who is better between the sword you forge and the other weapons, and if you want to go, I can help you find the best viewing spot! Promising to invite Dongfang Fan to watch the battle, the latter was stunned for a moment, and really wanted to see what the results would be if the two parties with the same combat power respectively held the sword and crystal nuclear weapons they forged, after all, if Dongfang Fan's forces were compared with the promise, they couldn't see the advantages and disadvantages of the weapons at all.
"Yes." After Dongfang Fan responded, he returned to the casting room, and after a while, there was a sound of striking iron inside......
……
In the afternoon of the same day, exactly 2,000 first-class students entered the center of the arena in the royal cadet's arena, which was built five years ago, and the overall style imitated the ancient Roman Colosseum.
In the entire arena, there are four VIP viewing rooms in the east, west, north and south, which can only be entered if you have an important official position in the imperial dynasty or have a large wallet, and today, there is a character "above 10,000 people" who quietly appears in the VIP room in the east.
When he entered, he began to look for the familiar figure from the viewing position on the west side, and soon saw the shadow of the blood-eyed and white-haired man, and he waved his hand again and again, his face full of joy.
"There are only 2,000 candidates in the actual combat exam this time, so each person only needs to take one exam, and the winner will pass directly, and the loser will wait until next year. After the examiner explained the content of the exam, he dismissed 2,000 trainees.
Dongfang Fan, who was sitting in the front row of the west viewing seat, sat upright, with a Jiuxiao ring on his lap, and the people around him were very interested in this white-haired young man, some said that he was a foreigner, and some said that he was sick.
Just when the people around him were talking, Xu Xu, who left the venue, appeared in the viewing seat and sat on the left side of Dongfang Fan, while introducing the names, origins, and backgrounds of the students who kept on the stage, and the people around him were envious.
"Wow! It's going to be exciting! The boy in white is called Gao Yi, and he is the most potential and strongest of the first-class students in this class, and he has a high reputation in the same class! And the other man in gray clothes, it seems that he is a graduate of the previous class, and it is said that he has fought with the strangers at the front line, but because he is the only one in the team who survived, the dynasty thought he had become a deserter, so he sent him back to the cadet to study again, he was a cadet of the Covenant Army before, although in the end it should be a victory for the senior one, that graduate should have held on for a little longer. Xu didn't know much about the man in gray, so he didn't even know his name.
"One move, the gray clothes won."
At the same time that Dongfang Fan was muttering to himself, the exam in the field began, and Xu Yu heard Dongfang Fan's words, and turned his head curiously to ask Dongfang Fan why, but it was also at this moment - she missed the victory.
In the situation in the field, the knife on the waist of the boy in white was only half drawn, but the man in gray had already come to him, his body blocked the punch that hit the boy in white in the abdomen, and when he took a step back, the man's movements in white were stalemate for three seconds, and then he fell to the ground and fainted!
"How could it be ......" The audience, whose attention was all present, was stunned one by one.
"Wenwu, win!" At the judge's decision, Wenwu walked out of the venue with a blank face, without any joy at all because of his victory.
"What just happened? Why did you lose for the company? What's going on? When she looked back at it, it was all over, and she didn't even know how Gao Yi had fallen to the ground.
Dongfang Fan didn't answer Xu Xu's question, and just as Xu Yu was about to ask further, the chief examiner in the audience read her name-
"Next game, promise, Jung Joong-jin!"
"Jung Joong-kim? How did you meet him?! Xu Yu was stunned, and his body trembled with a slight horror.
"Your expression seems to be telling someone before the competition starts: You've lost." Dongfang Fan said jokingly.
"If you meet him...... Maybe, I really can't win...... Why is it him...... Jung Joong-Kim is the last class of students who graduated from the contracting division with the strongest record in the first place...... It is said that he has four laws of contracting: metal, fire, thunder, and earth...... But I don't know why, but he refused to join the Contracting Army and returned to the academy to retake, I heard that he would take the summoner's assessment this time, but I didn't expect it to be true...... Finished...... It's just that there are only 2,000 candidates in this year's class, and I can't afford to lose a single one......" Xu promised to bite his lower lip unwillingly, his heart full of anxiety and his face full of disappointment.
"Why do you want to be a summoner so much?" Dongfang Fan asked casually.
"Because I'm going to defeat the Stranger with my own power! Protect all the people of the dynasty! In the course of the academy, I once talked about how desperate the world was eight years ago...... Looking at the happy, happy smiles of the people of Wangcheng, I don't want that despair to ruin it again...... But I can't win......" Xu Promise stared at the figure that had been as usual, his expression lost.
"If you despair, what can you say about the world driving out despair? Go ahead...... This one...... You're going to win......"
Xu Yu was stunned when she heard this, she turned her head to look at Dongfang Fan with a calm expression, and fell into deep thought......
……
In the VIP room on the east side of the fighting arena, the emperor above the 10,000 people looked at the woman next to the white-haired figure opposite, and asked the personal guard beside him, "Dayong, do you know the white-haired man next to Nuo'er?" Look at the way she looks...... Seems to like the man very much. ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen is the first time to see that man, the characteristics of white hair, I think he has only recently arrived in the royal capital, although I don't know what Nuo'er has to do with him...... I believe that my father will deal with it after he knows about it. A strong man beside the Lord of the Heavenly Mountains bowed down and replied.
"Hehe, don't misinterpret what I mean, I'm just curious about the identity of that person, and I didn't deliberately want to break up the lover, you don't care about this matter, continue to watch the competition, but this one, I'm afraid that Nuo'er won't be able to win." Yue Chongsheng smiled, feeling familiar with the white-haired man's face, but he didn't have any impression......
