One day, Wu Yikong went to the sword casting field to inspect.

The master did not notify any disciples in advance, and such a sudden arrival caught the disciples very off guard. As a result, the atmosphere in the sword-forging field became urgent and restrained, like a tight invisible string, and everyone trembled and was extremely restrained.

The four great sword masters lowered their heads slightly, followed behind their masters, and kept a distance politely and politely. This is the unwritten rule in the Sword Alliance, everyone respects the master, but no one can rely on the master too closely, even the title everyone has changed to the master, and no one dares to break the balance between the four countries and the direct transmission of the heart.

Wu Yikong suddenly stopped when he passed through the Tianwei Sword Casting Area. Tianwei's reaction was very different, not only was she nervous, but she also took the initiative to ask Wuyikong for advice. Tianwei's focus on skills, simple and cordial sense of dependence, made Wu Yikong suddenly feel a real friendship between master and apprentice, so the tone when guiding her also became full of patience.

The interaction between them is like the relationship between an ordinary master and a student. The four great sword masters watched this scene from afar, and their faces were delicate. Such a picture is only suitable for ordinary people's homes, and if it is in the King Kong Sword Alliance, it will seem so inappropriate. The swordsmen whispered:

"What future can a woman have?"

"She fought that sword last time, it's good!"

"Could it be that she also wants to participate in the sword trial?"

Heaven and earth stood in the crowd, silent all the time, but secretly looking to the sky. After a long time, Wuyikong was about to leave, and the world and his party respectfully sent the master out. The four of them still followed behind the master politely and politely, keeping a distance not far away or close, as if they had measured a precise distance.

That night, a man in black quietly infiltrated the swordsmithing field and poured a bottle of liquid into Tianwei's container.

The next day, when Tianwei was quenching iron from mutton fat, the sword that was preparing for the competition was eroded by acid.

There is only one day left until the sword test!

Tianwei stood in place in a daze, as if he couldn't hear the consolation of the people around him, and the expression on his face seemed to be mourning for someone. Her sad appearance made heaven and earth suddenly recall that she had once said to him that swords are like people!

Heaven and Earth walked over, patted her on the back, and whispered, "Don't be sad, there will be a sword test next year!" ”

Mo Tong also persuaded: "I used to be like you, I wanted to inherit my father's business. But the sword casting industry is a man's world after all. A woman's destiny is to teach her husband and children, and as a woman, it is more important to control a sword than to cast a sword! Do you understand? ”

Their comfort, far from helping, made Tianwei feel even more powerless. Tianwei suddenly discovered that the two people who were the best to him after coming to Sword City actually didn't know her at all.

The sunset in full swing, through the gaps in the iron wall of the Sword Alliance, formed a stream of purple and red light, gilding the Star Instrument Sword Seat with layers of dazzling brilliance.

Tianwei walked out of the sword casting field by herself, she looked very lonely, sitting alone under the star instrument sword constellation in a daze, the sun at dusk stretched her shadow slantedly.

"Master!"

Wu Yikong walked down from the Sword Casting Tower, and when he heard the sound of Tianwei, he couldn't help but pause.

How many years have you not heard a Master?

He suddenly remembered the time before the war, when he was just a pure swordsmith, leading a few simple little apprentices to move forward together in the field of swordsmithing.

Wuyikong sighed, turned around and pointed at Tianwei: "Do you know the origin of the name of the King Kong Sword Alliance?" ”

Tianwei thought for a moment and replied, "King Kong...... It means indestructible. ”

Wu Yikong said: "Is it the strength of the test sword stone, or is the persistence in people's hearts indestructible?" ”

The sky flashed with a flash of inspiration, as if there was an understanding.

Wuyikong bowed slightly, turned around and walked back to the Sword Casting Tower.

Tianwei stared at the slender back of Wuyikong walking into the Sword Casting Tower alone, and the giant sword test stone standing near the Sword Casting Tower. Under the scorching sunset, she looked ahead alone and muttered: "The test sword stone is strong, or is the persistence in people's hearts indestructible?" ”

At night, Tianwei was still in the sword casting field.

Occasionally, she would mutter something that Master had said. From her confused expression, it can be seen that there is an unsolved stuck point in her heart.

In the dead of night, Tianwei was still forging swords. The blazing fire reflected her sweaty body and completely crimson cheeks. She shook her head in frustration, smiled at times, and finally, her gaze rested on the sword she wore at her waist.

In the village of Kushan, her father, Othonie, on his deathbed, once said to her:

"Kid, it's time to let go—"

When he thought of his father, Tianwei's eyes moistened. No matter how reluctant he was, Othonie still smiled lightly and left the world forever.

"Is it persistence, or sublimation!" Tianwei's thoughts returned to reality again, and she slowly took off the sword and put the sword containing rare metals into the center of the fierce burning fire.
