Chapter 258: Sword Forging Competition

The quarrel here gradually attracted the attention of the group of onlookers who were watching the two-handed sword, and someone recognized the man in the robe: "Isn't this Nangong Jun, a disciple of Master Chen?" ”

"It seems that yes, that beauty over there is Yan Bing, a disciple of the Ice Fairy."

The people around him began to whisper again, but the strength of the people present was not weak, and everyone listened to every word.

Li Ang naturally heard it, and couldn't help but look at the pair of men and women, this kind of neurosis is still a person with identity?

Nangong Jun, the man in the robe, and Yan Bing, the girl in the green skirt, both looked smug after hearing the discussions of the people around them, and the people around them did look at them with awe.

"This friend, we are not unreasonable people, but you have to have an explanation for your unwarranted scolding." Nangong Jun is very easy-going and generous.

Li Ang was stunned for a moment, he was scolding, yes, but what Yan Bingxian stopped him inexplicably, are you the first wicked person to sue first?

looked at the surroundings pointing at him one by one, as the saying goes, the clay man still has three points of anger, not to mention that Li Ang has been wronged all the way: "You are the one who is looking for trouble first." Leon tried to suppress his anger.

"Obviously, you are looking for trouble first, you look down on the Wind Heavy Sword and you look down on Master Chen, I want you to apologize!" Yan Bing stared at Li Ang with a cold face.

"I've never seen any wind sword!" Li Ang was sure that there was something wrong with Yan Bing's proper brain.

"Boy, this sword is obviously here, but you said you haven't seen it, do you look down on Master Chen or are you blind." The man who sold a two-handed sword also came.

"This is the Tempest Heavy Sword?" Li Ang suddenly said: "The name is good, it's just a little bit secondary." ”

"You! How dare you insult Master Chen! Yan Bing was very angry.

Li Ang really wanted to ask him, what is this about you, you don't seem to be Master Chen's disciple, the Nangong Jun next to him didn't speak.

"I'm just telling the truth."

"Since you dare to say that this sword is not good, then your Excellency's sword-forging skills must be very superb, do you dare to compare with the next." Nangong Jun challenged Li Ang.

"Forged swords? Yes, how can you compare? "Li Ang thought for a while and agreed, he can't cast a sword, but his rune attainments are not comparable to him, no matter how strong your sword-forging skills are, I will have a set of sixth-level runes, just ask you if you are afraid!

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, right now, there are a lot of materials cast in this night market, we are free to choose, there is a blacksmith shop there, the time limit is two hours, and after two hours, our works will be judged by the people present."

"Okay."

The surprise on Nangong Jun's face flashed, he originally just wanted to force the other party, suppress his momentum, and let him retreat, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so simply.

……

The fact that Master Chen's disciples wanted to compete with others to forge swords spread far and wide, and it was quickly spread out, not to mention that everyone knew about it, and there were also a lot of people from the city who came to see the excitement.

Even Master Chen heard the news, and at the same time heard that some people looked down on the wind heavy sword he cast, in fact, the sword was not cast by him, but by Nangong Jun's handwriting, but the method of forging the sword and the means of rune depiction were all taught by him, and the style was the same as him.

Master Chen happened to have nothing to do at this time, so he simply came to the night market, but he didn't show up, on the one hand, he wanted to see how capable his disciple was, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see who dared to look down on him.

Not only was Master Chen alarmed, but all the forces in the capital also sent people after hearing about it, and some even came in person.

On the one hand, it is indeed curious, on the other hand, it is also to see who dares to challenge Master Chen's disciples, if there is indeed a real talent to learn, then what to say has to be co-opted, people who can forge high-quality weapons and armor are very scarce.

Even the high-level of the army rushed to hear the news, although Master Chen has been cooperating with the military for a long time, but the price paid by the military for this is also very high, if there is really a casting master with high skills, the military is very willing to invite him to join, even if it is not as good as Master Chen.

On this night, the capital can be said to be moving in all directions, but in an hour, the night market at the gate of the city was surrounded by water, only the location of the blacksmith shop was set aside a vacant lot, and the rest of the city was full of stuff, and it was impossible to walk.

Bang Bang Bang! The sound of metal knocking kept coming, and Nangong Jun was swinging a big hammer and constantly pounding the metal block in front of him.

This piece of metal is very extraordinary at first glance, the whole is silvery-white, and it is covered with lines like ice cracks, but on closer inspection, it is not a crack, but the texture of the metal itself, and no matter how you beat it, the lines are always there.

Nangong Jun didn't rush to hammer it into a long sword, but knocked the metal block thin, then folded it in half and continued to beat it to the previous thickness, and then folded it in half, and so on.

Master Chen, who was hidden in the crowd, looked at his disciple's movements and was very satisfied.

"Nangong Gongzi's skills can really be described as perfect, I'm afraid it's not much worse than Master Chen."

"Yes, you can see that the force and position of each of his strokes are completely unbiased, and they are as precise as a robot."

"That's right, and the thickness of each thrash is almost the same, which is amazing."

There are people who know a lot about it, and they all praise it.

Compared with Nangong Jun's superb skills, Li Ang's performance is much worse, after all, it is the first time he has grown so big to use a blacksmith's hammer.

"What is he doing?"

"Is this a new skill?"

I saw Li Ang holding a sledgehammer and knocking it randomly, but he was so strong that his control over himself had reached a very high level, and after a lot of effort, he knocked out a sword.

"Is this all right?"

"No matter how you look at it, it's just ordinary iron, right?"

The materials used by Li Ang are really ordinary iron, and he can't recognize other materials, he doesn't know what to use, and he says that the materials of the night market are selected at will, but he also has to give money, who wants to give you materials for nothing if he doesn't give money, this piece of iron is still exchanged by Li Ang with barbecue.

Forging is only the first step, the more important thing is the portrayal of the rune, the rune is the manifestation of the power of the rules between heaven and earth, even if it is a little bit, it will have no effect, and the heavy will be a riot of energy, exploding like a bomb, and if it is not good, it will be empty of people and money.

At the same time that Li Ang finished the beating, Nangong Jun also finished his forging, and a small and delicate short sword was placed on the table in front of him.

For everyone, the portrayal of runes is a matter that requires twelve points of concentration, Nangong Jun held a delicate carving knife like a scalpel and carefully carved on the short sword, not daring to be distracted in the slightest, his arm was also very calm, and there was no trembling.

Li Ang observed Nangong Jun's movements curiously, he first carefully engraved the runes on the sword, but it was just a pattern, without any energy fluctuations.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no problem with the runes, he changed to another knife and walked again along the carved lines, in this process, Nangong Jun's movements were also very slow, and as the knife in his hand slowly slashed, wisps of weak energy were injected into the nick.

Li Ang found that as the runes gradually became complete, Nangong Jun's face became more and more solemn, his originally very calm arms trembled slightly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, as if he was under great pressure.

It turned out that the others carved the runes like this, and Li Ang thought thoughtfully.

Leon's method of carving runes was learned from Athena, which was to outline the runes directly with energy, and there were not too many cumbersome steps, so it could be said to be done in one step.

But this method has very high requirements for mental power, and Li Ang also learned it for a long time at the beginning, although Nangong Jun's method seems to be much more cumbersome, but obviously the requirements for mental power are not so high, and it can be improved by continuous practice.

"What was he doing? Temporary cramming, do you want to learn now? ”

"I really don't know how Nangong Gongzi agreed to compete with him, it's not interesting to win, he looks like a layman at all."

The people around him were very unfavorable to Li Ang's movements, and some even began to sneer.

"Huh? What's he doing? ”

"It's ridiculous, does he think that he can carve runes on the sword with his fingers, even Master Chen can't do it."

Li Ang didn't have a carving knife, he could only use his fingers to carve runes, in fact, he didn't need a carving knife or anything, he never used tools to carve runes.

Li Ang moved very quickly, and people who didn't know thought he was scribbling at random, in fact, the people around him did think so, how could anyone carve runes so quickly, and without tools, there were more than a dozen of them in a short time.

"He's pretending to be there, isn't he?"

Obviously, everyone didn't believe that Leon was carving runes.

On the other side, although Nangong Jun is very slow, it can be said that he is cautious, but he has also completed three runes and is carving the fourth one, as long as this is successfully completed, then a group of second-level sharp runes will be completed.

Soon, the two-hour time was almost up, and Li Ang had already finished it, and he was boringly buttoning his nails, and Nangong Junye only had the last stroke left.

"It's time!" There was a loud shout from someone who was in charge of timing, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

"Is this the sword you forged, it looks good, haha." Nangong Jun was very happy when he looked at Li Ang's black sword, he was completely sure of the victory.

"Your sword isn't bad either, though it's only four runes." Li Ang said lightly.

"Oh? How many runes do you have, why haven't I seen any of them? Yan Bing couldn't wait to speak sarcastically.

"Let me start by introducing my work." Nangong Jun pretended to be magnanimous and said: "My sword is made of cold ice and dark iron, which is mixed with pure gold powder, and it has been continuously forged seventy-seven and forty-nine times with the hundred-fold forging method, and its hardness and strength have reached the level of four levels!" ”

"And the second-level sharp runes have been carved, making it much sharper!" Nangong Jun proudly introduced the short sword in his hand.
