Chapter 566: The Six Arts of a Gentleman

In the Tianxuan Continent, although the strong are rampant, there are behemoths such as Buddhism and Demon Gates, but in the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Domain, Confucian culture still occupies a dominant position.

Confucian disciples were not helpless, on the contrary, they also possessed great force.

The six arts of the gentleman, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, among which archery and royalty are the representatives of force.

There are five shots, five kinds of archery skills, and the most difficult "well instrument" needs to reach four arrows in a row, and the arrows must hit the target.

There are five royals, five kinds of skills to control the carriage, the structure of the ancient carriage is rough, the difficulty of driving is very large, and the most difficult "chasing birds left", is to drive the carriage to hunt wild beasts, physical strength, skills, bravery, all indispensable.

Measured by conventional force, the combat effectiveness of the "gentlemen" who have mastered the shooting and imperial is no less than that of a warrior.

With the rise of the scholar culture, the Wendao began to flourish, and the archery and imperial in the six arts were gradually diluted, and the scribe sword became popular.

The classic swordsmanship handed down by Confucianism is endless, and the background is profound, and when Ye Changsheng was in Wenshan Academy, he even met several Confucian sword cultivators.

However, the most praised and awe-inspiring thing about Confucianism is their Confucian freehand.

In the eyes of the world, Confucianism's freehand is almost the comprehensive embodiment of the six arts of a gentleman, and it is the highest sublimation of the six arts, and the difficulty of cultivating it can be imagined.

To this day, the top ten academies in the Xuan Continent will only teach those extremely talented Confucian disciples the method of freehand, and the review conditions are so strict that it is outrageous.

Even among the two royal families of the Glory Federation, only a small number of royal children are able to fall into the eyes of the academy every year and practice the mysteries of the great freehand.

Because of this, when everyone in the sword-forging room heard that Ye Changsheng had practiced Confucian freehand, they would be shocked.

It's no wonder that when Ye Changsheng took notes before, he didn't use a paper book, but a wooden board folded and opened by Zixumu, which is an essential tool for practicing Confucian freehand.

Among the crowd, the most complicated mood was not the prince of the Gongsun family, but an elder of the Refiner Guild.

He came this time to seek justice for Qian Yue, and by the way, he took Qian Yue's magic weapon back with a thousand opportunities.

But now he was a little hesitant.

In the final analysis, Qian Yue didn't take advantage of it, it was Qian Yue who took the initiative to attack Ye Changsheng with a thousand machine changes, and Qian Yue was defeated, so the thousand machine changes naturally became Ye Changsheng's trophies.

If Ye Changsheng loses to Zhuang Chong, then he can completely beat the water dog and take back the thousand machine changes without blood.

But the problem is that looking at the current posture, Ye Changsheng may not lose.

Even if Ye Changsheng loses, a cultivation genius who has initially comprehended the Confucian freehand, who would dare to underestimate him?

Ye Changsheng can easily defeat Qian Yue and easily resist the attack of a thousand machine changes, then it means that his strength has at least reached the Supreme Realm!

A sixteen-year-old Supreme Realm, unless you kill him, who would dare to offend him to death?

Not to mention, Ye Changsheng is not exactly an outsider to the Refiner Guild, he still serves as a senior advisor of the Refiner Guild of the Yunlong Principality, and he is deeply appreciated by An Zhisu and others.

It is said that the headquarters of the Imperial Heavenly City also noticed Ye Changsheng's existence, and Ye Changsheng's improved Nine Turns Qiankun Furnace raised the refining process of the Yunlong Principality to a higher level.

There are not many such figures who can promote the development of a principality's refining business with the power of one person.

Of course, these things are only known to the high-level leaders of the major refiner guilds, after all, Ye Changsheng is a sword caster and not a refiner, if it spreads, where will the face of the refiners go?

At that moment, the elders had made up their minds, and they could only take it by tricks.

It's really not good, hey, spend some money to redeem the thousand machines.

It wasn't just this elder who had changed his mentality, but there were also other swordsmithing masters who came to observe.

Sword masters are actually laymen, keen on fame and fortune, scheming, and excluding dissent, but they are also the kind of people who believe in strength the most.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing, when they held the two bronze swords in their own hands, after tasting and comparing them with their own eyes, they were all impressed by Ye Changsheng's superb sword-casting attainments.

Ye Changsheng's imitation of the clothes cutting sword was indeed slightly better than Master Zhuang's.

If Ye Changsheng is not a master, then which of them can be regarded as a master?

At least none of them dared to pat their chests and say that the clothes cutting sword they imitated would be better than Ye Changsheng.

Since it was about the sword-forging technique, the sword-forging masters were professional, so they naturally had to ask Ye Changsheng for some details.

The interest of a group of people unconsciously rose, and with the presence of the three members of the Feng Cheng Ye family, as well as the courteous cooperation of Liu Bufan and Mo Longfeng, the exchange became more and more enthusiastic.

The depressed solemn master stood not far away, and wanted to go over several times, but hesitated for a moment but stopped his steps.

At their level, relying on feeling is enough to judge the merits of a sword, the so-called performance test is just self-deception.

But even so, he can't easily admit defeat, he can afford to lose, but the teacher can't afford to lose, and the Sword Forgers Guild can't afford to lose.

Mu Qingke and the high-level members of the Sword Forge Guild all had iron faces, with a bit of impetuousness in their eyes, not looking at the door of the sword casting room.

Finally, several swordsmiths and apprentices hurried over with a handful of props for testing the long sword.

After the test props were placed, everyone gathered around to form a semicircle, leaving only an open space in front of the props.

Mu Qingke's face was solemn, he looked around at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on the second prince Su Yuanfang.

A smile appeared on his face, and he arched his hand: "Your Highness, this final test will be handed over to you, how about it?"

Su Yuanfang was stunned for a moment, and immediately guessed Mu Qingke's careful thoughts, so he smiled disapprerovitously, nodded and said, "Okay, let this king come." ”

With that, he took the solemnly cast sword from the hand of a swordsmith, came to a rectangular screen, and stood still.

The test of the bronze sword is actually relatively simple, it is nothing more than three things, piercing ability, this is the most important, followed by sharpness, and finally tenacity.

The screen in front of Su Yuanfang was stretched with a total of nine animal skins, and the force required to penetrate each layer of animal skins was different, increasing layer by layer.

Even if the sword pierces the most animal skins, the stronger the piercing power of that sword.

In addition, the shape of the split skin also shows the piercing power of a sword, but if the sword is good, the crack left after penetration is also smooth and regular.

If the pierced crack is rough and irregularly shaped, it means that the tip of the sword has not been cast.

"Let's start!" Mu Qingke arched his hand towards Su Yuanfang and stepped back into the crowd.

Su Yuanfang took out a sword flower in a dashing manner, and stabbed straight towards the screen with a sword.
