Chapter 2 Cast Iron for Soldiers! Grow your potential!

"The longer I live, the more wicked and terrifying I become, and so on...... Where can I get in the future? ”

Su Changkong's heart was also full of fire, knowing what this meant, as long as he increased his lifespan, it would become more and more demonic, and even become the most demonic existence in the past.

"I need to keep practicing the five bird operas to increase my lifespan."

Su Changkong took a deep breath and calmed down, he was still very weak, what he needed was continuous precipitation and hard work.

Knowing the role of his golden finger, Su Changkong practiced the Five Birds Opera more seriously and hard.

The proficiency of the five poultry operas is also slowly and steadily rising!

The Five Fowl Opera has reached the level of a realm of first peeking at the door, and every point of cultivation progress is more difficult than the original, but Su Changkong's potential value has increased to 3 points, and his efficiency in cultivating the Five Fowl Opera is three times that of the original, Su Changkong feels that his Five Fowl Opera will break through again, and it will take less time than from the beginning to the first peek at the door.

Time passed minute by minute, and more than two months passed in a flash.

In the early hours of the morning, in the courtyard of the residence of the Black Iron Villa, Su Changkong was concentrating on cultivating the Five Fowl Opera.

Mountain tigers, gibbons, tree bears, neck-necked deer, flat flying cranes......

Su Changkong has long been familiar with the routines and changes of the one-style five-bird play, and his five-bird play has a sense of beauty that combines movement and static, as if it has really turned into a beast and a bird, with all the charm!

"Click!"

When he practiced to the depths, Su Changkong felt a surge of air on the soles of his feet, which penetrated his body, making his bones and tendons make a slight sound, and a sense of comfort spread throughout his body!

"Five fowl plays, breakthrough!"

Su Changkong's eyes lit up, his potential value increased, this time the breakthrough was faster than before, in just over two months and less than three months, the cultivation of the Five Fowl Opera had reached a new level.

Name: Su Changkong (12 years old)

Lifespan: 45 years

Potential: 4 points

Master martial arts: Five fowl opera (1% of 2 realms).

opened the attribute panel and took a look, and sure enough, the five bird operas broke through from the first glimpse of the door to the level of entering the room, and the other is the lifespan, which has increased by 3 years.

"This time, the lifespan has increased more, but the improvement of potential has become less, only a little ......" Su Changkong said secretly, finding that the growth of potential was less than before.

In this way, his potential is tied to his lifespan, but the further back he goes, the more difficult it is to increase his potential by 1.

4 points of potential, which is four times the original one, is actually quite exaggerated!

"In addition, my physical fitness has improved a lot." In addition, the five poultry dramas have reached the point of entering the house, and although Su Changkong's physical fitness cannot be called reborn, it is indeed much better than before!

The five senses are more sensitive and energetic!

This set of health boxing is indeed quite mysterious!

"Bell, bell!"

In the Black Iron Villa, the bell rang, which meant that a new day's work would begin, Su Changkong stopped his cultivation and set off to gather.

"Su Changkong, wait a minute." After the roll call, Director Liu, who was middle-aged and responsible for managing the members of the Black Iron Villa, stopped Su Changkong.

"Director Liu, what's the matter?" Su Changkong was puzzled.

Director Liu said with a smile on his face: "You have been coming to our Black Iron Villa for more than half a year, you have been working hard, smart and studious, the owner of the village asked you to help Master Yang Chao from today onwards, and he will guide you to forge weapons and tools." ”

As soon as these words came out, Su Changkong's face suddenly became happy, this is the Black Iron Villa that made him start to officially learn forging!

In the Black Iron Villa, the highest status is a skilled caster, and the remuneration is not at the same level!

Learn a craft, and you won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future.

Su Changkong came to the Black Iron Villa for more than half a year, working hard and seriously, coupled with his young age and strong plasticity, the owner Mo Tie would let him learn casting from the experienced Yang Dynasty.

Soon, in the workshop of Black Iron Villa, Su Changkong found Yang Chao, a man in his thirties and forties, not tall, but very strong.

Yang Chao saw Su Changkong and said directly: "The owner of the village has already informed me, I will do my best to guide you, how much you can learn depends on your own talent!" ”

"Thank you, Master Yang!" Su Changkong thanked him gratefully.

At the edge of the stove, Yang Chao wielded an iron hammer and pounded a piece of red-hot iron, while explaining: "Casting swords is mainly divided into several main processes, such as forging, planing, filing, quenching, and polishing. ”

"The most important thing is forging, a piece of steel needs to be beaten tens of thousands of times, folded and forged dozens of times, and impurities can be removed before it can be used as a material for forging swords, otherwise it can only be regarded as a fragile piece of iron!"

Yang Chao's thick arms swung the hammer and smashed it on the red iron again and again, making a continuous, clanging and crisp sound.

Su Changkong nodded slightly on the side, he had been working in the Black Iron Villa for more than half a year, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, some basic knowledge of forging swords was still clear.

"No matter how much you say, it's better to do it yourself, you can try it."

Yang Chao asked Su Changkong to get started in person.

"Hmm." Su Changkong naturally responded, he picked up the hammer and began to forge the iron like Yang Chao.

"Forge evenly, pay attention to the rhythm, and don't use too much force."

Yang Chao pointed out from the side.

"Bell, bell!"

Su Changkong concentrated, wielding a hammer and constantly beating the red-hot iron in front of him.

"This kid...... The physical strength is good. Yang Chao was secretly surprised on the side, Su Changkong didn't look burly and powerful, and he was very young, but his physical strength was surprisingly good, and he swung the hammer and forged it dozens of times in succession, but he didn't have much to bear.

Forging, physical strength is of course extremely important, otherwise forging alone will not be able to complete this, although Su Changkong is young, but during this period of time, the cultivation of the Five Fowl Opera has greatly improved his physical strength, which comes in handy at this time!

"Okay, now use a horizontal knife to fold the steel, and then continue to melt and forge it, repeat it dozens of times, and then gradually forge it."

Yang Chao was on the side to guide.

Dozens of folding, forging, and swinging the hammer back and forth need tens of thousands of times, which is the so-called 100 refining into steel, and the whole process is very boring and arduous! It takes the average person a month or two to complete!

"Good...... It hurts......"

At the end of the day, Su Changkong couldn't help but grin, although he would stop to rest on the way, his arms were still red and swollen, as if he had lost consciousness, and his palms were worn out and bloody.

Swinging the hammer with both hands thousands of times a day made Su Changkong feel like his arm was going to be wasted!

"If you can't endure this hardship, how can you become a strong person in the future?" However, Su Changkong was high-spirited, and this forging was also a kind of cultivation for him!

In the evening, Su Changkong still insisted on practicing the Five Birds Opera, and at night, he took a bath and dragged his tired body to sleep.

Early the next morning, Su Changkong got up to practice the Five Birds Opera, had breakfast, went to the workshop full of energy, started the unfinished work, and continued to forge the steel, and so on.

It is also that Su Changkong has the foundation of cultivating the Five Fowl Opera, and his recovery power is very strong, otherwise when he gets up the next day, it is a question whether he can raise his arms.

Su Changkong's perseverance, not shouting bitterness or tiredness, Yang Chaodu saw it in his eyes and nodded secretly.

"I've eaten more......"

Su Changkong found that the consumption of physical strength made his food intake increase significantly, and his physical strength was also rising, and as time went by, his arms, which were not strong, gradually grew muscles and became more powerful, and as he grew older, his body began to develop and grow rapidly.

In terms of five poultry plays, it is also making rapid and steady progress!

This kind of day-to-day process is undoubtedly boring and tiring, but Su Changkong can clearly feel his own progress, and he is completely happy with it.

Nearly a month later, after fifteen folds and forgings and twenty or thirty thousand swings, the steel surface in front of me has natural patterns.

"Almost, the average sword, you have to fold and forge more than fifteen times, it is barely enough, in order to ensure the quality, our Black Iron Villa usually has higher requirements, and then start filling steel, carburizing, and planing files."

Yang Chao taught Su Changkong's next move.

Filling steel is to clamp and wrap two pieces of steel that have been folded and forged, clamp and wrap a piece of flexible steel, bond them at high temperatures, and melt them into one, so that the forged weapons will be rigid and soft, and not easy to be damaged or broken.

Carburizing, on the other hand, is to infiltrate a material that can improve the properties of steel, and then extend the steel, forge it into the shape of a knife or sword, polish it repeatedly, quench and polish it, and create a weapon.

As for whether it is qualified or not, the quality is related to the materials used and the technology of the forger.

It took a month before and after "completing the ......", Su Changkong looked at the long sword in front of him with a blue glow, and couldn't help but show a heartfelt smile on his face, with a sense of accomplishment!

"Hmm...... There is still some distance from qualification, the quenching process does not grasp the temperature, the cutting edge is relatively fragile, but there is a lot of room for improvement, as long as you create a qualified weapon, you can turn positive, and the salary is improved. Yang Chao took the long sword, he rubbed it carefully, checked it, and finally said with a smile on his face.

As far as the first forging is concerned, Su Changkong's results are good, and he only needs to practice repeatedly and become proficient, and sooner or later he will be able to create a qualified weapon!

Su Changkong began a hard life, practicing the five bird operas in the morning and evening, forging weapons during the day, tempering and casting, and living a very fulfilling life!

In the blink of an eye, four months have passed in a flash, and Su Changkong has reached the age of thirteen!

Compared with a year ago, Su Changkong has changed greatly, in just one year, his body has grown, and his body shape and height are no less than that of adult men, and because of his unremitting cultivation and tempering of strength, he has grown refined muscles on his body, and his whole body is full of masculinity.

It's winter, in the early hours of the morning, there are fine snowflakes falling in the sky, in the house, Su Changkong got up early, rain or shine, and carried out the cultivation of the five bird operas, at first it was a little cold, but as he entered the state, Su Changkong felt that the warm current in his body rose and circulated, and in the wind and snow, he didn't feel cold at all.

When cultivating over and over again, Su Changkong's speed became faster and faster, and the five forms of tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird came to life.

"Crackle! Crackling! ”

A hot and dry airflow circulated in the body, and Su Changkong's muscles and bones trembled in unison, and a familiar sense of relaxation and comfort came to him!

"Breaking through the ......"

Su Changkong sighed with satisfaction, it has been four months since the last breakthrough, plus a potential value of up to 4 points, his five bird drama has finally broken through again!
