Chapter 37: The Three Steps of Forging
Mastering the foundation of attack also means that Gu Feng is no longer a drag, no longer a waste, but it still needs some time to fill the other two auras.
This special systematic training method finally made Gu Feng understand the reason why he couldn't cultivate before the three-star Xuanling Master.
Just the ability required to fill the first aura needs to rely on the strength of the Xuan Qi that can only be possessed by a three-star Xuan Ling Master to release, if such momentum and strength are impossible to release before a one-star Xuan Ling Master, if you insist on cultivating, I am afraid you can only practice some messy ordinary exercises, Zeng Weifeng explained that he must make himself pure and clear enough, so that he can be more focused when mastering a kind of exercise.
It's better to specialize in one than to specialize in one!
Due to the abundance of his physique and his own Xuan Qi, Gu Feng only took one day to completely master the attack method of the one-star Xuan Ling Master's arm, and in the following days, he only needed to add the cultivation methods of other professions recorded in the "Body Master Chapter" and "Qi Master Chapter" one by one to proceed normally, which did not take too long.
When he returned to the dormitory, it was already late at night, in order not to affect the rest of the others, Gu Feng just took a towel and wiped it on his body and fell asleep.
In the next half a year, Gu Feng did not continue to increase the improvement of his Xuan Qi, he had to enrich all the three auras before he could advance, which was also a necessary step, because he fell too far behind, and he could not participate in some basic tests or competitions held inside and outside the school.
In half a year, the attack methods, defense methods and leg strength of the physical division Gu Feng have made long-term progress, under the targeted training and the help of the three brothers in the dormitory, there will be some actual combat exercises occasionally, but the money is not easy, Lu Shan and Zheng Hai can't use all their strength, otherwise Gu Feng can't bear it at all!
He just needs to improve at the moment, and as long as he improves his combat skills, he can continue to do so.
"Lu Shan! this time you use the full strength of one-star strength! Even if it is insufficient, I must know where I am insufficient!" Gu Feng pursed his lips, ignoring the sweat that had dripped from his forehead and eyes, gritted his teeth and said.
"Then you have to be careful!" Lu Shan nodded, in order to help Gu Feng improve, several people also gave him all the time, which made Gu Feng very moved.
A strong wind with a mysterious aura hit him, his footsteps moved, and Gu Feng's figure dodged to one side like a ghost, which was enough to cross the right side of his body, and he easily dodged it.
Slightly put Xuan Qi into the arm, Gu Feng's punch attack only gave Lu Shan on the side, because the body has not completely stopped the inertia of attacking, so Lu Shan can not really defend at this time, and in a hurry, Xuan Qi increased greatly, wrapping his body up!
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the two of them took a few steps backwards at the same time, with a gasp, Gu Feng's face was full of surprise.
Although the strength he used was not full strength, Lu Shan was able to resist it, and I am afraid that such a defense would not be safe and sound for one person.
With a smile on his face, Lu Shan said: "I have just reached the two-star Xuanling Master, so I can naturally resist the attack of the one-star, but then again, your body is really unpredictable, I was supposed to withstand an attack from me, but I didn't expect to be easily dodged by you!"
Exhaling slightly, Gu Feng said: "I have mastered not only the ability of a warrior, but also the body of an assassin, mobilizing Xuan Qi in the legs, being able to detect the trend of attack in the shortest possible time and be prepared to dodge, the teacher said, even if the body is strong enough to be able to avoid as few attacks as possible, so as to ensure continuous fighting." ”
The biggest difference between a full-time mystic master and a single class is here, a warrior can only rely on his own specialty to carry out a series of single attacks, while a full-time mystic master can change the response method at any time according to the battle, and do the right way to dodge or resist, or counterattack as much as possible.
Gu Feng's smooth move, first stirred his body to dodge, and then cast a "tiger roar" to counterattack, this whole process only took a short two seconds, but even so, if he met an opponent whose physique was not as good as Lu Shan, I am afraid that he would have already been injured.
Over time, Gu Feng's strength has become more and more substantial, although it is not as good as a two-star Xuan Ling Master or can only be tied with a two-star Xuan Ling Master, but Gu Feng is already an outstanding leader below the third grade of the school.
It took half a year to fully comprehend a series of masterable physical skills and do a variety of practices, in order to let Gu Feng feel the power of some of the fields in which the deputy positions are located, during the long vacation of this semester, Zeng Weifeng led Gu Feng to the most famous weapon line in Moon City.
In the casting room, seeing the weakest casters who were also three-star Xuan Ling masters tattooing their arms, concentrating their Xuan Qi on their arms, and constantly using the hammer in their hands to beat the action, the piercing metal collision sound Gu Feng felt his blood boiling, and the visual effect brought by the splashed sparks was indeed shocking enough.
Each caster's body is wrapped in an aura, and every forging must be done with all his might, and the stronger the strength, the better the craft, and of course, this is inseparable from the skillful skills that are constantly built and mastered on a daily basis.
Through Zeng Weifeng's explanation, Gu Feng also has a little understanding of casting.
Zeng Weifeng paid for casting utensils and a few pieces of high-quality pig iron, and the two returned to the school.
Because of the noise caused by making ironware, they did not choose to be in Zeng Weifeng's house, but in the school where there were no students at this time.
It is a small room, and it is an activity room that students come to only when it is cloudy and rainy and students are unable to have outdoor classes.
Several big men helped to carry in a series of equipment and build attacks, and left in a hurry after putting them in order, Gu Feng carried more than a dozen buckets of water with a wooden barrel to fill the water tank according to Zeng Weifeng's request.
"I'll show you first!" Zeng Weifeng put the equipment in place, and after the stove was burned, Gu Feng kept pulling the handle of the firebox next to the stove, and some red flames kept rising up.
Compared with the cultivation of attack techniques, the knowledge and skills that this kind of sub-class caster has to master are also more cumbersome.
When the flame had not completely burned the pig iron, Zeng Weifeng explained some key issues to Gu Feng.
Each piece of pig iron contains more or less impurities, first of all, the red-hot pig iron must be beaten with a heavy hammer to remove the impurities, this step is very critical, there can be no pause to do it in one go, if it is done in two or three times it will be more laborious.
After taking out a piece of fiery red pig iron about half a meter long from the stove and placing it on the building table, he picked up a wooden handle on one side and hammered it.
The jingle was made to spread throughout the campus, and because it had been explained in advance, the guards and teachers on duty did not come to disturb it.
Watching the sparkling pig iron being smashed down again and again by the hammer, Gu Feng's eyes did not blink, for fear of seeing a little less.
At this time, Gu Feng understood what impurities are, and the pig iron that has just been mined or has not been processed will have a lot of black impurities after it is burned red, and those impurities must be completely removed through constant beating.
Gu Feng had never seen Zeng Weifeng's state at this time, his sleeves were rolled up, revealing his strong arms, and the hammer, which weighed dozens of pounds, seemed to be a thing in his hands.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have believed that an old man in his sixties and seventies would have such a strong body, and the tattooed muscles have said it all!
Looking at the pig iron on the building platform with burning eyes, the building hammer in Zeng Weifeng's hand has a strong Xuan Qi attachment between the ups and downs, which can save a lot of his own strength.
"Hey, hey, hey......"
Gu Feng's hot gaze widened, and he could clearly see that the black markings and black patches in the red pig iron were gradually decreasing.
quite rhythmically, Zeng Weifeng did not pause.
Although the weight of the hammer is nothing, even the ancient style can be easily picked up and used, but it is important to insist, if you want to completely purify a piece of pig iron covered with impurities, you must keep beating to do it, which is also a kind of exercise for arm strength.
Gu Feng, who pulled the handle of the firebox, even forgot the work in his hand when he was in a trance, and he was surprised for a while before he remembered to continue pulling.
Time gradually passed, and a little bead of sweat appeared on Zeng Weifeng's forehead, firstly because it lasted too long, secondly because it was close to the stove, and the weather was still a little hot now, which was also normal.
"Dangchang!"
"Dangchang!" ......
With a heavy breath, the building hammer in Zeng Weifeng's hand finally stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled: "Do you see clearly?"
Gu Feng nodded vigorously, eager to try.
"Don't worry, although this piece of pig iron has been successfully removed from impurities, it still needs to go through two processes before it can really become a weapon in hand!" Zeng Weifeng smiled.
Throwing the iron that was no longer very red into the furnace to heat it again, Zeng Weifeng told Gu Feng in detail about the next process.
Although there are only three layers in the entire manufacturing process, each process must not be speculated and lazy, otherwise it will fail or be cast into defective products.
The first step is to remove impurities, this step is to lay the foundation for a good weapon, the less impurities to create a weapon less likely to break, in other words, his flexibility will be very good, the second step is to temper the embryo for the weapon, this process requires exquisite manual skills, according to the desired shape of the weapon for hammering and simple tapping, time-consuming and labor-intensive, there can be no anxiety, otherwise it is impossible to succeed or can only appear defective.
There is also the most critical final process, which is also the soul step of the entire casting, quenching!
First of all, determine where the blade of the weapon is, and then use a small hammer to carefully beat the sharp part as thin as possible, and then enter the water to open the edge.
After a huge piece of pig iron was beaten by Zeng Weifeng, there was only a palm-sized fine iron left, and after a long time of beating and beating, a short-bladed embryo appeared.
Carefully clamping the back of the short blade with fire tongs, he said: "Remember the whole process of falling water quenching clearly, any mistake will lead to the failure of the weapon opening quenching!"
Seeing Zeng Weifeng's solemn and serious face, Gu Feng held his breath and widened his eyes.
