Chapter 4 The Contest and the Black Cauldron Bottom
Handing the eighty-pound hammer on the casting table into Tang San's hand, Xu Ran smiled and said, "Instead of dry wrought iron, it's better to have some fun." ”
"Fun? Brother Ran, from your eyes, I feel that you want to trap me again. ”
"Look at what you said, I am a dignified gentleman, when did I pit you."
As he spoke, Xu Ran smiled slyly, wiped a finger of black ash from the casting table, and quickly wiped it on Tang San's face, causing the other party to exclaim.
"The competition is very simple, I use this 180-pound hammer, you use the 80-pound hammer, let's take turns beating this piece of pig iron, whoever stops first loses, and the winning side hammers more times than the losing side, is the number of punishments, each punishment can be smeared on the other party's face, what do you think?"
Looking at Xu Ran's confident appearance, Tang San suddenly hesitated.
If it had been before, Xu Ran would definitely have agreed to this request without hesitation, after all, according to Xu Ran's previous physique, the competition was completely self-inflicted.
But now it's different, looking at Xu Ran's performance just now is like taking a stimulant, it's not very difficult to swing a hundred and eighty pounds of hammer, obviously Xu Ran's height is not as tall as this hammer, and the appearance of holding the hammer is also extremely incongruous, but even so, Tang San's heart is still a little bottomless.
"Little San, scared?" Seeing Tang San's hesitant appearance, Xu Ran smiled.
"Afraid? It's never been in my dictionary. Tang San argued with his neck pulled.
It seemed that Tang San nodded in agreement, as if he was under Xu Ran's agitation method and hooked by Xu Ran.
But a person's external performance will not fully reflect his inner thoughts, two lives, Tang San's age at this moment is actually thirty years old, plus in his previous life, as a disciple of the Tang Sect, he was thoughtful and considered the problem very comprehensively, how could he be on Xu Ran's way.
The reason why he agreed was mainly because of his confidence in his own strength, after all, Xuantian Gong was a top-level inner door technique, and it was infinitely mysterious, and he had cultivated for six years in this life, although he had not yet broken through the first layer, but his body at the age of only six had been tempered to a very strong point.
may not be as explosive as Xu Ran, but in terms of durability, he will not necessarily lose.
In addition, the hammer used by the other party was more than twice as heavy as his own, and these factors increased Tang San's confidence a lot, so he accepted Xu Ran's challenge.
Xu Ran didn't know what Tang San was thinking, he wouldn't think about it so much, seeing that Tang San agreed, he returned to the forging table and set up his posture.
Seeing this, Tang San also trotted over and stood opposite Xu Ran with a solemn expression.
First of all, he carefully recalled the content of the Cloak Hammer Method, although it was not possible to hammer quickly and consistently, but the hammer posture and the use of body strength were still very useful to him.
The legs are slightly bent, the soles of the feet are tightly pressed to the ground, and the hammer is raised above the head with both hands, the hammer basically forms a straight line with Xu Ran's body at the moment, and there is no downward excess falling force from the back, nor does it shorten the distance of the hammer from the front, it can be said that this position is basically the best position to exert force.
His brows furrowed slightly, and Xu Ran let out a low snort.
First, the legs exert force, and then the waist and limbs are slightly twisted, and the strength is increased and then transmitted upwards, and finally through the upper body to the arms.
If you can see through it, you will find that a huge amount of energy is running wildly in Xu Ran's body, squeezing out from the heart, transmitting to all parts of the body, and finally gathering all of it into his arms.
Every heartbeat is like a volcanic eruption, spewing out a surging amount of energy.
While!
The hammer struck the pig iron fiercely, making a loud and piercing sound, and the pig iron kept beating after this blow, and it stopped after a full five seconds, which can be seen how powerful the hammer is.
Seeing this, Tang San was not far behind, he raised the hammer and struck it hard, although the sound was not as loud as Xu Ran's blow just now, and the pig iron did not tremble too much, but his movements looked much more coordinated than Xu Ran, although it was a rough beating, it was like flowing water.
While!
While!
While!
For the rest of the day, the two of them alternated and hammered, like two machines, tirelessly......
The day passed quickly, and when Xu Ran left the blacksmith shop satisfied, Tang San's face had already turned into the "bottom of the pot".
In addition to the whites of his eyes and teeth, he is still stubbornly insisting, and from a distance, it is completely a black briquette.
Sitting on the door frame, Tang San's face was decadent.
Today he not only lost, but lost completely.
"Hey, what's wrong with Brother Ran, it seems to have changed into a person, whether it is strength or endurance, it is so perverted, is this still a person."
"How can I explain that I will take the initiative to try to strike iron when I train every day, it turns out that it was premeditated. Hmph, I won't give up, everyone is six years old, I have no reason to be weaker than you, wait, ask my dad for advice tonight, and you must look good tomorrow. ”
As if anticipating Xu Ran's defeat, Tang San had a happy smile on his face.
With a dark face and snow-white teeth,
It's just beautiful!
And not far behind Tang San, Tang Hao didn't know when he walked out, he leaned on the door frame of the inner room, staring at the back of Xu Ran leaving, a burst of light erupted in his cloudy eyes.
In fact, he had been paying attention to these two children for a day, but he didn't come forward for some reason, but even if he didn't communicate and ask in person, it didn't affect his judgment of Xu Ran.
At the age of six, he can have such a lot of strength, and the style of play that he has copied from the junior to the tempered in a short period of time.
Whether it's strength or understanding,
At this age, I definitely can't do it,
Xiao San can't do it either.
There was a burst of light in his eyes, and Tang Hao muttered, "Interesting, I really want to see what height this kid can reach in the future." ”
"Just ......"
As if thinking of something on his mind again, his eyes dimmed again, he tilted his head and took a sip of the spirits, and turned back to the house.
……
Time passed in a hurry, three days had passed in the blink of an eye, and it was no surprise that Tang San had been able to maintain his original face in the past three days, except for the night, and he was basically in a state of "black pot bottom" during the day.
After three days of endless hammering, Xu Ran has been able to send and receive the strength in his body, and when he lifts his clothes, he will find that some undetectable muscle blocks have formed on his stomach, which can be regarded as the initial state of eight-pack abdominal muscles.
I got up early in the morning, and after running around the village five times, Xu Ran came home sweating profusely.
Maybe it's because of the hurry to walk, at this moment Old Jack is a little out of breath, and a dense layer of sweat beads appear on his forehead, although the distance between the Holy Soul Village and Notting City is not very far, he doesn't have the extra money to hire a carriage, so he can only go back and forth on foot.
After all, for the children in the village to awaken the martial spirit, as the village head, it is his bounden duty to go to the city to invite a soul master.
Standing at the gate of the courtyard, the grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
"Grandpa Jack, they all said that I went for you, you said that you are old, and you still worry about the affairs of the village all day long, you should rest more, too tired is not good for your health."
Hearing Xu Ran's words, Old Jack felt a burst of relief in his heart, and the smile on his face became even bigger.
"What's this, it's only a dozen kilometers, and it's not hard for me. Xiao Ran, guess what I brought you when I went into the city this time. ”
"It's definitely cake." Xu Ran said without thinking.
"Heh, you kid is really smart, that's right, grandpa knows that you haven't eaten breakfast yet, so he specially brought you a cream fruit cake, this small piece, costs fifty copper soul coins."
took the cake that Old Jack carefully handed over in his hand, and before Xu Ran could say thank you, a shrill voice came from the side, making his face gradually gloomy.
