Ryan has only learned some superficial swordsmanship and has not learned any fighting spirit, so Ryan can't be regarded as a level 1 swordsman, at best he can only be regarded as a swordsman apprentice.

Similarly, if an apprentice who is learning magic cannot perform any of the spells, then he can only be called an apprentice of magic.

Ryan learned that there are three ways to learn vindictiveness.

The first way is to pass on the fighting spirit in the family, that is, the father learns the fighting spirit, and when the son grows up, he teaches the method of cultivating the fighting spirit to the son. Of course, the level of vindictiveness that the father learns determines the level of the son's vindictiveness. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people in this world have learned the most basic Dou Qi cultivation methods. Even so, the previous Ryan did not learn Dou Qi from his father, because his father did not learn Dou Qi from his father's father, and he could only become a blacksmith in the end.

The second way you can learn vindictiveness is to study in the academy. There are many swordsman academies in this world, and even mage academies, that can be offered to people to go in and study. Of course, the entrance examination and the high tuition fees discourage most people. So this is not something that a penniless Ryan can afford.

The third way you can learn Dou Qi is to buy Dou Qi Secrets. The commerce of this world is relatively developed, and some powerful businessmen have made some basic Dou Qi and even high-level Dou Qi cultivation methods into books and sold them to some people in need at a high price. Of course, this price is also unaffordable for Ryan. Ryan learns that one of the worst Dou Qi secrets requires more than 10 gold coins to buy.

Ryan seems helpless about the current situation, poor and white, so he doesn't need to think about the problem of vindictiveness in the short term. So he could only change the way and see if he could find a way to improve his sword skills from the memories of his previous life.

Ryan can name many of the martial arts secrets described in the novels of his previous life, but they are just words. Besides, whether these martial arts really exist, or whether they are pure fiction, Ryan also does not know.

As for the eighteen martial arts that were often said in ancient times, Ryan didn't understand it, and it was very difficult to even explain the names of these eighteen martial arts.

Ryan kept thinking in his head: "Knives, guns, swords, sticks...... That's right, it's a stick. ”

Ryan suddenly remembered that during his previous life, in order to perform stick tricks with a few classmates at the school party, several people learned stick tricks very seriously for a while. Like some moves such as "sweeping thousands of armies", "poisonous snakes out of the hole", and "Mount Tai pressing the top", they are still fresh in my memory. However, this set of stick methods used for performance cannot, strictly speaking, be regarded as stick methods, at most it can only be regarded as a trick stick. But in the memory of Ryan's previous life, there is only this set of stick methods that have had the experience of "practicing martial arts".

Ryan thought about the stick moves in his mind, and then compared the swordsmanship moves that Ryan had learned before, and found that this set of stick tricks was more than clever compared to the swordsmanship that Ryan had learned.

Ryan couldn't help but be a little excited, and he couldn't wait to find a stick to play with right away.

Sticks are not hard to find, Ryan runs to the grove every day, and he can find a random section of trees and remove the skin of the side branches to make a good stick.

Then Ryan's life was even tighter.

As soon as it was gray, Ryan woke up naturally. When I woke up, I went out for a run, ran to the woods outside the city, and took out my homemade wooden sticks to play with them. When his hands were tired, he used his legs to kick the tree next to him, and soon his legs were tired, and then he switched to a stick, and so on several times, until he was sweating all over, and finally went to the small pond to swim a few laps.

It wasn't until the sun rose high and Ryan was hungry that he finished his morning workout and ran back to Daddy Moya's blacksmith shop.

After breakfast, Ryan began his day's work at blacksmithing. His work has also improved a bit, from the earliest iron embryo to the ability to fight some weapons that do not need to be too delicate. Of course, the salary has also been increased from 10 silver coins per month to 25 silver coins per month.

The work of striking iron is usually finished in the evening, sometimes in the afternoon, and the rest of the time is in Ryan's personal time.

Ryan would walk around the streets of Kata City after dinner, and he didn't want to be completely immersed in his workouts and get too far out of this world, so he would take a walk around the streets to make himself more of this world.

Coming back from the street, Ryan has been staying in the yard where he is alone, and the long nights are still spent in the workout. Since Ryan returned to this world, his energy has become very good, and as long as he sleeps for an hour or two before dawn every day, he can maintain a state of energy throughout the day. This also caused a problem, that is, Ryan was extremely lonely during the long night, even though Ryan kept exercising, kicking and juggling.

A few days after he started playing sticks, Ryan created some mixed moves based on the stick techniques he learned in his previous life, combined with the characteristics of sword moves in this life, and when he practiced them, he was also very powerful.

But half a month later, a new problem arose: with Ryan's weight and strength, it was too light to play with a wooden stick.

The wooden stick weighed only a few catties, which was indeed a little lighter for a person who was used to using a heavy sword of more than thirty catties before. When Ryan plays with the wooden stick, he is very easy and light, but he always feels that the power is not enough, and it is soft and fluttery, and when he encounters someone else's sword, he may cut it off at once. So Ryan had the idea to build an iron rod right away.

The stick is different from other weapons, it needs a certain elasticity, if it is too hard, it is very easy to deform, and if you smash it a few times, it is not a straight stick, and it will be scrapped if it becomes bent. So to create an iron rod, first find a suitable material.

In his previous life, although Ryan was a mechanical college student, he did not know much about the characteristics and types of metals. This is normal, in the world of the previous life, there is no need to expect an ordinary student to know a lot of knowledge. What's more, the knowledge of metals from previous lives may not be applicable in this world.

As a last resort, Ryan could only ask Moya's father about this question.

"With soft iron, its characteristics are soft and elastic, and by mixing soft iron with ordinary iron, its elasticity can be adjusted. Why do you ask this? Daddy Moya replied.

"I need some iron ore, and I want to build an iron rod that needs to be elastic so that at least it won't deform after smashing something."

"How long and how big is the iron bar?"

"The length of the iron rod is about my height, and the width is about this wide." Ryan said as he gestured with both hands to the width of the stick, which was about seven or eight centimeters wide.

"It takes a lot of iron ore, and I can't give it all to you for free." Daddy Moya pondered for a while and said.

"Okay, how much does it cost, deduct it from my salary." Ryan also knew that he would have to use a lot of iron ore, and with Moya's father's character, it would be impossible to give it to him for nothing.

"I'll deduct 15 silver coins from you, but you'll have to build it yourself, and don't delay your work." Daddy Mo Ya didn't open his mouth, but only charged about half of the iron ore material fee.

"Okay." Ryan happily agreed, and then asked, "Daddy, what should be the ratio of soft iron to ordinary iron with such an elastic iron rod?" ”

Daddy Mo Ya didn't answer immediately, he thought for a moment and replied, "The ratio of soft iron to ordinary iron should be 1 to 7. ”

"Thank you, Daddy." Ryan got the answers he needed and couldn't wait to get to work.

However, creating a new weapon is not a quick and easy task. The most critical problem at the moment is that the new weapon needs to make a mold to cool the molten iron.

The process of striking iron is not very complicated, but it is not as easy as imagined.

Generally speaking, iron ore is forged and melted into molten iron, and then the molten iron is poured into a pre-prepared mold and waited for the molten iron to cool and solidify into the general shape of the device to be made.

After that, the roughly shaped iron embryo is heated and burned red, hammered with an iron hammer, and then heated and burned red after it has cooled, and then hammered with an iron hammer until the impurities in the iron are beaten out, the iron is beaten solid, and the instrument is completely formed.
