Elder Yu nodded, pointed to the short, dark-skinned red-banded leader on the left and introduced, "This is Yao Shi, the leader of the first team. ”

He pointed to the fat, rosacea-nosed red belt leader on the right and introduced: "This is Tie Song, the leader of the third team." ”

Lu Zhan saluted and greeted the two red belt leaders respectively.

Elder Yu looked Lu Zhan up and down, nodded and said, "Young man is not simple, since I was in charge of the Nursing Academy, as soon as I entered the Nursing Academy, you jumped directly to the black belt level, and you are still the first." ”

Yao Shi, the leader of the team next to him, said: "I have heard of your extraordinary performance in the 'Martial Arts Examination', but I still have a little doubt, you have so much ability at this young age?"

Tie Song, the leader of the third team on the other side, said, "Why did Brother Yao say this? Do you suspect that he cheated in the martial arts assessment?"

Yao Shi sneered twice and didn't speak, but his expression clearly seemed to agree with this point of view.

"Alright, alright. Elder Yu shook his hand to stop the discussion between the two and said to Lu Zhan, "Your achievements have indeed aroused criticism from many people. But since you have already come, then you can see your strength for a long time, and everyone can see what your strength is, I hope you can perform well. ”

As he spoke, he instructed in the direction of the back hall: "Xi Liuzi, bring things in." ”

I saw a short Blue Ribbon nursing home in his twenties quickly walked into the back of the hall, and the nursing home named Xi Liuzi was holding a stack of things in his hand.

Elder Yu pointed to the things in Xi Liuzi's hand and said to Lu Zhan: "In view of your outstanding performance in the 'Martial Arts Examination', the head of the family rewarded you with a long steel knife, which has been tempered by two hundred and tempered by two hundred, and the grade is as high as five levels. It also comes with a level 5 soft armor. Finally, I will reward you with ten Yang Yuan Dan. ”

Lu Zhan hurriedly thanked Elder Yu.

Elder Yu turned his head to look at Tie Song, the leader of the three teams: "Lu Zhan is now a black belt nursery, and he should be appointed as the head of the nursing home. Didn't you have a squad leader missing a few days ago? I don't think we should wait for him to return to the team, just let Lu Zhan fill his vacancy. ”

Tie Song nodded, and said to Xi Liuzi, who was standing behind: "Did you hear that?" Liuzi, you happen to be in that team, and now that your team has changed captains, quickly take Captain Lu to your team, and wait for him." ”

"The little one understands. Xi Liuzi said.

Elder Yu instructed Lu Zhan: "You go to the third team first to settle down, what should you do in the future, Lao Tie will take care of you." ”

Lu Zhan said goodbye to the three people in the hall and followed Xi Liuzi out of the "welcome living room".

When the two of them walked through the open space in front of the hall, they suddenly heard a "bah", and Lu Zhan saw a mouthful of thick phlegm falling at his feet.

When he looked at it, he saw the bald man grinning at him and sneering at him, and then at the group of blue ribbon nursing homes next to him, everyone looked at him with a disdainful gaze.

Lu Zhan's face passed through everyone's line of sight calmly, and followed Xi Liuzi through the clearing.

After leaving the clearing, Lu Zhan asked Xi Liuzi: "May I ask who is the bald Chinese character who spat at me just now, and he also has a red belt tied around his waist?"

Xi Liuzi was holding the long knife, armor and elixir that Lu Fu had awarded to Lu Zhan in his hand, and he told Lu Zhan softly: "That guy is Xue Liji, the leader of the second team, and his martial arts attainments are even higher than our iron leader, so people are also very arrogant, you just ignore him." ”

Lu Zhan asked again: "How many red belt leaders are there in the Guardian Hall?"

"There are only three of them. Xi Liuzi said: "There are more than 180 people in our nursing hall. Each leader has five squads, each with a dozen men. ”

While talking, the two came to a row of wings on the east side of the nursing hall. I saw a stone platform in front of the wing, surrounded by several blue ribbon guards, who were shouting and drinking and gambling on the ground.

Xi Liuzi coughed vigorously.

The guards stopped, turned their heads to glance at Xi Liuzi, and saw that he walked in with a strange teenager, and everyone's eyes stayed on Lu Zhan's body for a breath, so they turned back and continued to play their gambling.

"These damn bastards. Xi Liuzi explained to Lu Zhan embarrassedly: "Team Lu, don't be angry, the former captain Liu of our team left the team without permission on the day of the 'martial arts examination', and he never came back. These days, the brothers have no one to take care of, and the surnames are all wild. ”

Lu Zhan secretly thought that the Captain Liu mentioned by Xi Liuzi was most likely the second brother of Liu Dingguo who was killed by himself. killed the guy surnamed Liu himself, and took over the guy's team, which can be regarded as a coincidence.

Xi Liuzi took Lu Zhan to a room at the back of the row of wings, put the things in his hand on the table in the center of the room, bowed to Lu Zhan and said, "This is where the captain rests, you take a rest first, and I will go out and ask them to line up." With that, he ran out.

Lu Zhan turned his head and looked at the room, this room was very simplely furnished, except for a simple set of furniture, there was only a small room for sleeping in the back.

He walked to the table and picked up the reward of the Hundred Refined Steel Knife, which felt heavy at first, the scabbard was made of snakeskin, and the scales were beautiful. He grabbed the hilt of the knife and pulled it out of its sheath, only to hear a "smack" sound, and the blade let out a pleasant sound.

I saw that the blade was shiny, there was a hazy blue light on the blade, and when the fingers were placed in front of the blade, I could faintly feel a cold feeling in front of the fingers, which was the fifth-level blade that had been tempered two hundred times.

I heard that the fourth-level weapons on the market are already very expensive, so this two-hundred-level refined steel knife should be a wealth of high value.

In addition to the different materials, the more precise and exquisite the quenching process, the stronger its hardness, sharpness and toughness, and the higher the grade.

Therefore, people divide weapons and armor into nine grades according to the number of times they are tempered.

The first stage is one quenching and one refining;

The second level is ten quenching and ten refining;

The third level is fifty quenching and fifty refining;

The fourth level is one hundred tempering and one hundred refining;

The fifth level is 200 quenching and 200 refining;

The sixth level is 400 quenching and 400 refining;

The seventh level is 600 quenching and 600 refining;

The eighth level is 800 quenching and 800 refining;

The ninth level is one thousand tempering and one thousand refining.

Due to the different levels of difficulty, the level of craftsmen is also different.

For example, kitchen knives, sickles and other daily necessities and low-level weapons and protective gear, their materials are mostly ordinary copper and iron, as long as one quenching and one refining or ten quenching and ten refining can be done, and this work can generally be completed by craftsmen in the realm of refining.

However, when it comes to medium-level weapons and armor that are more than 100 tempered, the materials are mostly high-quality materials such as fine iron and Burmese jade steel, so they must be tempered by craftsmen in the bone forging realm.

As for the high-level weapons and protective gear that have reached level seven or above, most of the materials used are extremely rare 10,000-year-old black iron, arctic seabed cold iron, and extreme peak mica steel with higher quality and hardness, which can only be refined by craftsmen in the realm of condensation.

Just as Lu Zhan was admiring the prizes of his martial arts conference, Xi Liuzi ran back to the door and reported to him: "Team Lu, the brothers have already assembled in line, just waiting for your old man's lecture." ”

"Okay, I'll do it. ”

Lu Zhan walked out of the captain's room and came to the open space outside. I saw more than a dozen Blue Ribbon nursing homes lined up. The nurses stood staggeringly, looking at him with disdain and contempt in their eyes. This gaze is the same as the group of blue ribbon nursing homes seen outside the "welcome living room".

He walked to the front of the team and looked at these nursing homes that were much older than himself, the youngest of them was Xi Liuzi, and the oldest was thirty or forty years old.

Lu Zhan felt that his throat was a little dry, after all, he was still a young man who was not deeply involved in the world, and it was the first time he had his own subordinates, so he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to say dryly: "Brothers, everyone! From now on, we will be good brothers, we will share blessings and difficulties......

The more nervous he looked, the more obvious the contempt and ridicule in the eyes of the Blue Ribbon nurses, and everyone had a thought: "How can this stinky little baby be worthy of being the captain I am waiting for? ”

After Lu Zhan had spoken a few words, he had nothing to say, and he didn't even know what to ask his subordinates to do. had to end hastily: "Okay, I'll stop here, disband." ”

Everyone dispersed with an "oh", and Lu Zhan heard several deliberate spitting sounds and low cursing voices: "This yellow-haired boy, why did he become a black belt as soon as he came? Why did he become the captain? In terms of the number of years he has been in the team, which of us is not more than him, why don't we promote us and let that hairy boy be in the limelight?"

Lu Zhan looked at the backs of those people, and sneered in his heart, these uninteresting guys, are kind to you, do you think I'm a bully?

In the evening, leaving the hostile atmosphere of the courtyard, Lü Zhan returned to his home in the southwest corner of Lü Mansion.

The home is still the dilapidated old house, but the current Lu Zhan is no longer what it used to be.

He couldn't wait to take out the copy of "Wolf Tooth Cracked Empty Palm" and read it hungrily.

This set of martial arts is a palm technique, and the moves are more simple and direct than "Black Tiger Heart-Snatching Palm", but the requirements for the strength of the qi in the body are higher.

Because the power point of the palm is different from the fist, the palm technique is more difficult to practice than the fist technique, which is a well-known truth.

According to the text in "Wolf Tooth Cracked Empty Palm", when this set of palm techniques is practiced to a small level, it can condense the strength into true qi, and will penetrate the palm qi out of the body, forming a layer of sharp palm blades like knives outside the palm, and the palm at this time will be as sharp as a blade, which can cut stones and cut gold, which is the so-called "palm knife".

And when this palm technique is practiced to an extremely high level, it can even make the palm condensation qi machine become a semi-substantial blade qi wall, which can be released from afar, and can hurt people in the air on a large scale, which is equivalent to breaking through the realm of condensation.

It is precisely because the power realm of this path palm method is very high, so its requirements for cultivators are also extremely harsh, for ordinary people, they must reach the middle stage of the bone forging realm, and they will have a slight success when they practice.

The current Lu Zhan's martial arts attainments have only just broken through the peak of the body refining realm and entered the early stage of the bone forging realm, so even if he cultivates very hard, it is difficult to reach the point where the qi in his palm can penetrate through his body and form a palm sword.

So he stepped up his practice of breathing and warming the qi machine, hoping to reach the middle stage of the bone forging realm in a short period of time.
