[Chapter 163: Blacksmith Genius]
Li Chun was worried for several days, but seeing that there had been no movement, he was forced by Yan Huo'er to strike iron every day, and gradually put the matter of the jade of the five directions behind him.
He has so much to do, how can he have so much time to worry about the sky?
After all, it wasn't that he offended the Cui family head-on, and there were a lot of exaggerations in Meng Zhuangsheng's words, and more importantly, Huo'er didn't seem to care about this matter, but he was quite curious about the Wanzai Xuanbing Sword he transformed, and asked a few questions, and then urged him to hurry up and complete the stabbing sword.
With Li Chun's current forging skills, of course, this still needs to be worked on, so he had to continue the days of 20,000 hammers a day and quietly watch the passage of time.
Syllable!
Syllable!
Syllable!
Every day, Li Chun repeatedly did the boring action of swinging the hammer, but since he discovered that he could also touch the bypass and ponder the sword technique from the forging, he was not so anxious.
Any skill, need a lot of repetition of training, in order to be able to give birth to ingenuity from practice, at first when he practiced the sword, it was also repeated the same movements, compared with the boring at that time, now he can at least feel his obvious progress - not only in swordsmanship, but also in the ability to strike iron is also slightly improved, although he actually does not have much interest in forging, nothing more than to quickly practice to the level of being able to make stabbing swords, and then he can review and prepare for the exam with peace of mind.
On the seventh day, he was able to barely shape a lump of iron, which was rough but looked like he wanted to take a sword;
On the tenth day, Li Chun completed the first ordinary iron sword, the body of the sword was slightly curved, and the thickness was not very uniform, which looked like an inferior product taken out of a small workshop;
On the fifteenth day, he finished another sword, this time. But it is not much different from the big road goods sold on the street, and after Yan Huo'er saw it, she also expressed her satisfaction.
"I think...... This kid's talent is in forging, not in swords, and it is most suitable to be a blacksmith!"
Lu Xiao smiled at Li Chun's work and made a categorical assertion.
Blacksmiths like that. It also requires talent, if you can comprehend the sword spirit, set foot in the realm of mystery and mystery, and become a master craftsman in the future, or even change to become a swordsmith, it is much more popular than ordinary swordsmen.
Lu Xiaoxiao believes that Li Chun's qualifications for practicing swords can be said to be good at best, but he is not the kind of amazing talent. The existence of extreme talent, on the contrary, in terms of forging, he actually has no teacher, and it only took half a month of hard work to complete the training of at least three years of blacksmith apprenticeship, which is amazing!
"I don't want to be a blacksmith!"
Li Chun was a little annoyed and shook his head, he didn't like it when someone criticized him for his kendo qualifications.
"Some people say that my Dao qualifications are far better than those of swords. I am a man destined to become a sword saint, and I don't want to be a Taoist priest who calls for wind and rain. How can you be a blacksmith?"
At the beginning, the old man said that his Taoist qualifications were better than swords, and Li Chun just listened to it casually before, but later he learned that this old man was Luo Yuchuan, a Taoist priest who was a god, so his evaluation was amazing.
Even this great god said so, Li Chun was naturally very proud of his Dao qualifications - he was also slightly disappointed in his kendo qualifications, after all, he had been so appraised by other gods.
But Rao is so. His heart for learning swords has never wavered.
I don't know if it's because of preconceived ideas, or because of the backs of the silver-haired sword saint who laughs proudly at the world, Li Chun's mind can no longer accommodate other dreams.
In short, Li Chun, who has Lang Huanjue by his side, decided that he wanted to learn the path of swords.
Yan Huo'er smiled slightly. "My eldest brother is a dead brain, he wants to be a swordsman, and it is useless for you to persuade him. β
Her title followed Li Chun - but Li Chun rarely called Lu Xiaoxiao like that, but Yan Huo'er called her well.
"Stupid!"
Lu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes disdainfully, and casually put down the iron sword built by Li Chun, and she casually mentioned it, and hit Li Chun by the way, and she didn't really mean to persuade him to change careers.
"Big brother, your skills are already good, from tomorrow, you are ready to build a bayonet sword for me. β
Yan Huo'er turned her head and spoke to Li Chun, "If you finish it as soon as possible, then there will be more than ten days to prepare for the exam......
It is indeed only ten days before the government test.
"Good!"
Thinking of the government test, Li Chun's spirits were greatly lifted, despite the fact that he had already knocked 20,000 hammers today, his arms were sore, and he ran to the blacksmith shop at night, and the ping pong knocked for most of the night, although he did not succeed, but he also had a little clue.
The difficulty of this bayonet sword is mainly that it must be thin and even, and it must have enough toughness to not be easily exercised.
In the modern earth, the manufacture of Western swords is mainly made of drawn steel jishu at one time, which ensures the uniformity and toughness of the sword body, and even if only ordinary steel is used, it will not be easily broken.
But in the past, it still needed to be hammered out, if it was a good master, of course, it could be completed, but for Li Chun, it could only be done by ruining the materials.
- Fortunately, there are materials in the iron paving of the heavenly furnace that can be wasted.
The inventory of the Five Iron Elite is very large, and if this bayonet sword is completely forged from the Five Iron Elite, in any case, the hardness and toughness can be guaranteed.
What Li Chun has to do is to make this sword thin enough and evenly enough.
It's not that easy.
When building the iron sword, Li Chun had already discovered that the more subtle the build, the more he tested his control, and if he accidentally used too much strength, he would have to start all over again and spend more than twice as much effort.
For a sword as thin as a needle, each segment is a subtlety, so each segment must be strictly controlled.
Fortunately, he understood the truth of lifting weights, and the sledgehammer was swung out, leaving only a dull sound, far less loud than the sound of the previous days, which was when he fell the hammer in Zuihou, and learned how to retract the force - in the process of forging, his control over Liliang became stronger and stronger, and each hammer left a spare force, maintaining possible changes.
If it is transformed into swordsmanship, it will have a momentum that does not lead to it, and it contains all kinds of changes from the unchanged.
After beating for most of the month, his swordsmanship has improved two or three times.
On the twentieth day, he took out the finished product, the stabbing sword was about the thickness of two or three fingers - it was somewhat similar to the Wanzai Xuanbing Sword that the woman in white took out that day, if the woman in white asked him to create an imitation of the Xuantie Secret Steel Sword at this time, then he would basically be able to do it, and he would no longer have to destroy the jade of the five directions.
Yan Huo'er was not satisfied with this success - Li Chun also knew that it was not detailed enough, he was just here to report the progress.
On the twenty-second day, Li Chun's stabbing sword was already only the thickness of his thumb, and as long as he went further, he would be able to meet Yan Huo'er's requirements.
"Just a little finer. Yan Huo'er nodded.
- The so-called thin needle, that is also a figurative statement, for a three-foot-long sword, the thickness of the little finger is the limit, otherwise it is of no practical value.
Li Chun happily continued to build, stayed up all night, and by the early morning of the twenty-third day, he really took out a stabbing sword as thick as a little finger!
The cold light shone brightly, the whole body was even, the tip of the sword shone with cold light, and with the wooden hilt, it looked like it.
Yan Huo'er gently stroked the slender sword body and sighed for a long time.
"With the qualifications of the eldest brother, it is good to do anything, but choose the most difficult swordsman road......"
She also felt it.
Li Chun is a native of the earth, has received more than ten years of education, whether it is personal quality or IQ is not bad, reborn as a child, no matter which path he chooses to take, he can get twice the result with half the effort, at least in the early stage, he can be far better than ordinary people.
This is actually the result of his accumulation of so many years unconsciously.
Just like the ordinary apprentice blacksmith of Mitian Shijie, he will only follow the step-by-step process, learn what the master teaches, and he does not dare to try indiscriminately, let alone figure it out by himself.
But Li Chun is different, of course he has never hit iron, but many things are touched, he understands the properties and melting point of steel, and vaguely knows that weishenme forging can improve the toughness of iron - many times, most people do not think, but do not know which direction to think, do not know weishenme.
Modern education, which seems to be useless, actually cultivates a person's foundation.
As long as you have studied well, with the insight and wisdom of modern people, no matter which shijie or era you go to, as long as you have passed the crisis of survival at the beginning, you will have the opportunity to do a career.
- So even if he is a waste old man, he will think that Li Chun's Dao qualifications are good, if he can dive down and understand the Dao Fa, how will he not dare to say it in the future, but it is not too difficult to be promoted to a Daoist above the sixth level in a short period of time.
In contrast, learning martial arts and swords, that is, Li Chun is not very good choice.
Of course, in terms of thinking and understanding, he still has the foundation to become an excellent swordsman, but this is also a skill that requires physical fitness and nervous reflexes, and at this point, Li Chun's starting line is the same as others.
Evenβa little weaker, he was a child of a poor family, without elixir and haode martial arts secrets, compared to those nobles and families, that was already a position behind.
However, in the later stage, his insight helps him to comprehend the deeper realm of kendo - but in the same way, distracting thoughts will also affect his kendo progress, which can only be said to be a mixed pros and cons.
"Haha, Huo'er, you also say this kind of thing, the eldest brother is a man destined to become a sword saint, you can rest assured!"
Li Chun completed the task, he was in a good mood, he finally got rid of all his worries, and he could start reviewing for the exam immediately!
Although there are only a few days left, it is not fast to sharpen the gun.
There is not much pressure on the swordsmanship exam, with his current strength, with the bonus of the Sword Demon Realm, even if the sixth-level swordsman can't reach it, there will always be a fifth-level swordsman, right?
Taoism and spells, but you have to review them well, so as not to capsize in the gutter.
House test, I'm coming!
Once he passes and becomes a showman, it is the beginning of his road to fame in the world!
Li Chun clenched his fists!(To be continued......)
