As a new student, Su Yu was very busy.
Especially after he became the class monitor, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to rest.
Even so, on the 8th of August, Su Yu still took some time out and went to the Weapon-Forging School.
In fact, they were all in the same campus, just a little far from each other.
…
"You're finally willing to come?"
When Su Yu found Zhao Li, the old man was fiddling with something in his laboratory.
He had said before that he could come to find him on the 8th and 18th/28th of every month.
Su Yu also remembered the time and rushed over.
Su Yu was a little embarrassed and whispered, "Teacher Zhao, I …"
"No need to explain!"
Zhao Li waved his hand indifferently, "It's normal to be a little busy when you've just entered the school! That's why I said that for auxiliary subjects, just treat it as a skill. Don't think about in-depth research, it's too much of a waste of time! "
After saying that, he smiled and said, "You came today at the right time. You don't have any foundation now, and I'm too lazy to teach you the basics. If you have time, you can go to class. If I don't teach you the basics, it's useless to learn anything now. I'll let you see the big scene and join in the fun!"
After saying that, he waved at Su Yu and walked into the laboratory.
Su Yu hurriedly followed!
…
After walking for a while, they entered the basement.
In front of them was a very empty hall.
At this moment, Su Yu was not alone. There were many people there.
There were old and young people.
Seeing Su Yu behind Zhao Li, some people knew him, while others didn't. After asking around, they found out that he was a student from the Faculty of Theology. These people didn't say anything.
They knew that the school had opened the mode of auxiliary subjects.
However, these people didn't expect to get any fame from the auxiliary subjects.
"Old Zhao!"
"Teacher Zhao!"
"…"
Everyone greeted him. Zhao Li nodded slightly and didn't say much.
Walking to the center of the hall, Zhao Li said, "Today, I want to forge a Lower Mystic Level Wenbing! Mystic Rank Wenbing is suitable for Soar and Ling Yunjing, Yellow Rank is suitable for Qianjun and Wan Shi. Of course, Civilization Masters usually only use Yellow Rank Wenbing when they are cultivating … "
"Earth-rank is different. That's for Mountain and Sea realm experts!"
"As for Heaven Rank Wenbing … there might be Seeker Realms, but I've never heard of any other places."
These basics were obviously meant for Su Yu to hear.
Su Yu listened attentively and stood in the corner without saying a word.
He didn't know anyone here. Even if there was someone he didn't know, he wouldn't ask about it at this time.
He did not expect that today was the day Zhao Li built Wenbing. No wonder so many people came.
"Some people might be confused. Weapons are divided into civil and military weapons?"
"Then what's the difference between Wenbing and Wubing?"
"…"
Everyone in the hall was speechless. They all looked curiously at Su Yu.
This was obviously a lesson for Su Yu!
How could they not understand these basics?
Some of these people were researchers in the Weaponsmithing Faculty, some were instructors, and a few were geniuses in the Weaponsmithing Faculty. How could they not understand this?
Su Yu didn't understand, so everyone knew what Zhao Li meant when he said this. It was meant for this student in his supporting discipline to hear.
Zhao Li ignored them and continued, "The biggest difference between Wenbing and Wubing is the structure!
"Wubing is strong enough and can be infused with Primal Qi. The more Primal Qi is infused, the stronger it is, and the higher its grade!"
Zhao Li said slowly, "When fighters fight, they usually fight at close range, slash, break through, and pierce through … At this time, the stronger the weapon, the better, and the sharper the weapon, the better. It's best if it can infuse 100% Primal Qi into it so that its explosive power is stronger!
"Wenbing … doesn't care about these things!"
Zhao Li said calmly, "Wenbing is not infused with Primal Qi, it's Shenwen!"
"It's willpower!"
"We don't care if it's sturdy or not. The characteristic of sturdiness lies in your Shenwen and your willpower."
"There are a few key points in building Wenbing. It's beneficial for the integration of Shenwen, it's beneficial for bringing out the characteristics, and what kind of material matches with Shenwen …"
"Or you can say that Wenbing is only suitable for yourself!"
"Wubing is for the masses!"
Zhao Li exhaled softly and continued, "This is the difference between Wenbing and Wubing weapons. Our Wenbing is custom-made, so it's not cheap. The materials are special, and it's mainly based on your Shenwen and willpower. There's no such thing as a standard weapon."
"As for Wenbing, there are many types. The Wenbing that we often talk about is actually divided into two types. One is the weapon embryo, and the other is the finished product!"
"There's no need to talk about the finished product. The Civilizationist will provide the materials or merit points, and the Blacksmith will build the Wenbing according to his requirements. It's a one-off deal!"
"Wenbing embryo, on the other hand, is different. We blacksmiths will give you a basic Wenbing embryo, and we won't add any special materials. You'll need to integrate it yourself, nurture it, and store it in the Sea Of Will. You'll need to rely on Shenwen to nurture it, your blood to nurture it, and add your own precious materials …"
"It's not a one-off deal, because it can be upgraded later. You can find enough materials to continue upgrading the embryo, because it's not a finished product."
"…"
Zhao Li explained for more than ten minutes. Among the crowd, some were obviously getting impatient.
It was a cliché!
Today, they weren't here to listen to the basics. They were here to watch Zhao Li build the Mystic Wenbing.
Zhao Li obviously felt it too. He said calmly, "Reviewing the old to learn the new. The biggest taboo for blacksmiths is to be impetuous! If you can't even overcome this … you're doomed to have no future as a blacksmith! "
Among the crowd, an old man coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Lao Zhao, don't be angry. However, we're all gathered here, and some of us have things to do later. Why don't … you build the Wenbing first?"
Zhao Li snorted, "Get lost if you have something to do! What can you do even if I say it? "
"…"
The old man was speechless. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Zhao Li had a weird temper. This was recorded in the handbook of Great Xia Academy's freshmen. Previously, Su Yu didn't understand it, but now he did.
He was a little embarrassed. Zhao Li was delayed because of him.
He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Zhao Li ignored them and continued, "Shenwen is needed to build the Wenbing. In fact, blacksmiths are also considered Shenwen. In other words, in this era, Shenwen is the foundation, and blacksmiths have mastered almost all of them. It's just more or less!"
"Bring it here!"
Zhao Li shouted. A few young people quickly carried out a large pile of materials. Su Yu didn't recognize most of them.
They were colorful and some were black. They seemed to be some kind of metal.
"Different materials need different Shenwen to melt …"
"But what if they reject each other if they master so many Shenwen?"
"So, blacksmiths usually have a specific Shenwen!"
With that, a flame appeared in Zhao Li's hand. "My Shenwen is the Shenwen of the Flame Demon Race, Shenwen with the word 'Fire'! Among blacksmiths, it's considered the best Shenwen. It can melt more than 90% of materials. The other materials can't be melted with fire. So, you can either cultivate other Shenwen, or you can work with more people! "
With that, all kinds of materials quickly melted in his hand!
Those materials melted into liquid and floated in front of him.
"Blacksmiths need to know the ratio of materials!"
"This time, the person who asked me to build the Wenbing is a Soar realm teaching assistant. He's famous for mastering the 'Pierce' Shenwen. I won't go into the specific characteristics, but he's good at assassination!"
"Then this Wenbing must be hidden well. Aura-Concealing is the most difficult part of this Wenbing. Luckily, he provided a Magic-concealing Stone, which can make the Wenbing restrain most of its aura …"
As Zhao Li spoke, he mixed the various liquids. Soon, the various liquids fused together.
"To fuse these materials, you also need a specific Shenwen. The best is the 'Melt' Shenwen of the Earth Fire Race. Some Shenwen characteristics are fixed, but you might not be able to learn it. I don't know this, but I know the 'Combine' Shenwen of the Flame Demon Race!"
As soon as the word "combine" was uttered, Su Yu saw a shocking scene in the next moment.
The previously distinct colors of the various liquids suddenly blended together and gradually became transparent.
As Zhao Li fused, he said quickly, "When fusing, you must be careful. If you're not careful, the fusion will be messed up, and you won't be able to liquefy it. Then, you won't be able to keep it in the Sea Of Will. This Wenbing will be half-useless, and you won't be able to keep it in the Sea Of Will. You won't be able to nurture it, and you won't be able to achieve the best compatibility with the Shenwen …"
As Zhao Li spoke, the researchers beside him were worried for him.
Don't cripple it!
Although it was only a low-grade Mystic, it wasn't easy to make a Mystic Wenbing. If it was crippled, he would have to compensate others for their losses. A low-grade Mystic Wenbing could be worth thousands, and that was merit points!
In the Soaring Sky Realm, the accumulation of thousands of merit points was often all of one's assets. Forging a Wen Weapon would cause one to go bankrupt.
The various liquids slowly fused!
Transparent!
At this moment, Zhao Li suddenly said, "If a blacksmith wants to leave a secret door in a weapon, the fusion stage is the most suitable. You must check the weapon carefully after you get it …"
"Cough, cough!"
Coughs could be heard all around!
Zhao Li couldn't be bothered with them. He continued, "Actually, it's best to watch from the side when making a weapon. After the fusion, it's best to check it. For example, if I leave something in it, or if the Shenwen has a secret door, it's very easy for me to counter or even destroy the weapon when the other party attacks me!"
"It's best not to buy the Wenbing on the market. Actually, it's best to use the embryo and cultivate it yourself!"
"…"
"Lao Zhao!"
Someone couldn't take it anymore and coughed lightly, "We blacksmiths have our own rules. We blacksmiths will not do such things!"
"There's no harm in being careful. Who knows which guy will do it!"
Zhao Li continued with a solemn expression, "After the fusion stage, it's the most difficult stage, consolidating the weapon. At this stage, you must be careful. Whether you can forge a weapon that is suitable for you depends on the consolidating of the weapon!"
"At this stage, it also depends on the blacksmith's ability and attitude. Some blacksmiths might only give you a rough shape during the consolidating stage. In reality, it's very easy for the weapon to fall apart …"
"It's hard to tell under normal circumstances, but once a battle breaks out, the weapon might explode or shatter after a few hundred moves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the air suddenly froze!
The next moment, Su Yu saw with his naked eyes that countless hammers appeared in the air, rumbling as they smashed towards the transparent liquid.
Rumble!
"This is a blacksmith, a Mystic-class low-grade Wenbing. It has to be forged at least 37 times, and at most, 40 times. Some people aren't strong enough and stop after a dozen times. That's a pseudo-Mystic-class weapon, and it's very easy for something to go wrong. These people are the shame of blacksmiths …"
Rumble!
Rumble after rumble, Su Yu could already see the liquid taking shape. It was a dagger!
At this moment, as Zhao Li continued forging, a golden pattern gradually appeared on the dagger.
"This is the imprint of the first forging. There are at least 37 imprints on a Mystic-class low-grade weapon, but it can be forged. Outsiders like you won't be able to tell …"
Zhao Li continued to expose the shady side of the blacksmithing world!
The blacksmiths' faces darkened. Don't scold me, I didn't do it!
One time, two times, three times, four times …
Beads of sweat appeared on Zhao Li's forehead, and he fell silent.
Clearly, blacksmithing wasn't as easy as it looked.
Su Yu could tell that Zhao Li was using his willpower and Shenwen to forge a weapon. It should be a characteristic of a Shenwen, so Zhao Li had at least three Shenwen weapons.
A single forging session lasted for close to 10 minutes.
At least 37 times. Clearly, this wasn't something that could be done in a short period of time.
It lasted for more than 6 hours!
Su Yu was slightly shocked. He had a feeling that this was actually one of the blacksmiths' cultivation methods. Weapon forging!
It was a battle of willpower and consumption!
It lasted for more than 6 hours to forge the lowest-grade Mystic-class Wenbing!
He thought of himself. In the fragment room, he could last for about 40 minutes. However, if he were to forge a weapon and use Shenwen, he might only last for 20 minutes.
Because using Shenwen would consume even more willpower!
The others also maintained their silence, but there was more or less envy and admiration on their faces.
Blacksmiths weren't weaklings!
There weren't many people in the academy who could forge a weapon 37 times in a row.
Beads of sweat appeared on Zhao Li's forehead. At this moment, he spoke again, "Blacksmiths aren't weaklings. Because blacksmiths forge weapons all year round, their willpower is much stronger than others of the same rank. In a battle of the same rank … blacksmiths aren't afraid of anyone, and we are usually the ones who win!"
"Therefore, some people don't have strong willpower, but they are strong enough … I like students like this!"
Once again, he said these words!
He was talking about Su Yu!
The reason why he wanted to take Su Yu as his disciple the first time he saw him was because Su Yu's willpower wasn't strong, but it was very strong. He had used Shenwen many times, and his willpower was very weak at that time.
Therefore, after that time, Zhao Li had always wanted to take Su Yu as his disciple.
He was very regretful that Su Yu had chosen the Shenwen faculty!
"Geniuses should temper their willpower to be stronger than others of the same rank! You can defeat others of the same rank. Others can fight for 5 minutes, but you can last for 10 minutes. The one who dies will be you! "
"Geniuses shouldn't be afraid of being surrounded. They thought that you would die after 5 minutes, but you insisted on lasting for 10 minutes and killed all of them!"
"You can even fight someone of a higher rank! You can drag them to death! "
Zhao Li's body was trembling, but he still smiled and said, "I am Ling Yun Seven! But if I meet a Civilization Master of the same rank as me, as long as he is of the same rank, his willpower won't be stronger than mine. His outburst is so weak in my eyes! "
"If his willpower isn't as strong as mine, even if he has an outburst of willpower, it will be very difficult to hurt me. I can even wait for him to exhaust his willpower and kill him instantly!"
"I can last for 10 hours. Can he?"
"Those fellows from the Shenwen faculty might be dispirited after lasting for an hour … In fact, after a few minutes, their willpower will be much weaker than before. I will be stronger than him, and killing him will be a piece of cake!"
"You have the Shenwen faculty, which is somewhat similar to us. There are many Shenwen faculty, so the burden is greater, so you can last longer than others. However, compared to us blacksmiths, you are still inferior … Of course, there are many Shenwen faculty, so there are many characteristics. Shenwen faculty is very complicated, and if we really fight, it's hard to say who will win!"
"Bai Feng can instantly kill Hu Wensheng, who is in the ninth tier of Soar. As for me … even if Cheng Yu-Ming comes, as long as he can't instantly kill me, I can drag him to death!"
At this moment, Zhao Li was extremely proud!
The pride that came from a blacksmith!
Cheng Yu-Ming, Zhou Mingren's student, was a Mountain Sea Realm expert, although he had only just entered it.
He, Ling Yun Seven!
Of course, he was definitely bragging.
At this moment, Su Yu clearly saw several civilization masters turn their heads away, not looking at Zhao Li.
If Zhao Li said that he could fight against Ling Yun at the ninth tier, they would believe him. However, the Mountain Sea Realm was a whole different realm. If you said that Cheng Yu-Ming couldn't instantly kill you, that might not be the case. He could heavily injure you in one strike, and no matter how long you could last, you would not be able to continue fighting when you were heavily injured.
If he encountered the Mountain Sea Realm, Zhao Li would definitely die.
Of course, he might be much more difficult to kill than an ordinary Ling Yun Seven.
Zhao Li didn't care about them. Panting, he said, "For blacksmiths, the most important thing is how to obtain a matching Shenwen, and how to develop one's own Sea Of Will, so that one's willpower can be more stable and lasting … This is a secret, and I won't teach any of the students in the supporting professions!"
"…"
Su Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If you won't teach them, then why did you keep talking to me until now?
The old man still hadn't given up and wanted me to change my sect.
Now that he understood, the others also understood.
They looked at Su Yu again. Was this person … really that good?
Was he worthy of Zhao Li's attention?
At this time, Zhao Li really didn't have the mood to talk anymore. The hammers in the air continued to dance, continuously striking the dagger. Soon, a few more golden patterns appeared on the dagger.
Just when the hall was extremely quiet, Zhao Li suddenly spoke again, "Pay attention to the key point. Look at where you strike each time. Different striking locations represent different results. Whether the golden veined patterns are clear or resplendent, it represents whether you have succeeded in this round of forging!"
"Trash blacksmiths usually forge crooked golden patterns …" Zhang Xuan muttered.
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, a pattern formed!
It was crooked!
The entire hall was silent!
Even if Su Yu didn't understand, he could see that the newly formed golden pattern on the dagger was actually crooked!
Combined with what Zhao Li had just said … Su Yu lowered his head.
I didn't hear it!
Zhao Li obviously also felt a little embarrassed. He said in a low voice, "I was a little distracted when I was talking just now. This is a negative example. I want to tell you that you have to focus when forging Wenbing. Don't be distracted. I'll specially give you a demonstration …"
"It's okay. Trash blacksmiths can't correct it now, but I'm different. I can forge again and restore the forging process just now!"
"…"
When these words were said, the expressions of the few old people present darkened!
Yes, we are all trash!
Because none of us can forge again!
Zhao Li, you're ruthless!
In order to regain face in front of the newcomers, you scolded all of us!
In the next moment, Su Yu saw Zhao Li let out a low roar and burst out another Shenwen. No one knew what this Shenwen was. If the Civilization Master didn't want to expose it, you wouldn't be able to see it at all.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out again. The hammers were swung crazily again. This time, they weren't forging golden patterns. Instead, they were constantly weakening the crooked pattern.
And the time spent was also longer!
After a full 20 minutes, Zhao Li's face turned pale. Only then did he remove the crooked line that had just been removed.
"Alright, this is the basic skill of a powerful blacksmith!
"This is also my, Zhao Li's, specialty. Some people want to learn … but I won't teach them. They're too useless. They'll only embarrass me if they learn it!"
"…"
The scene was dead silent again and again!
Zhao Li didn't get any response. He was probably a little tired. At this moment, he didn't dare to be distracted anymore. Very soon, he focused on forging the Wenbing.
One hour, two hours …
Su Yu had to admit that these people were all able to control their temper.
They were all staring at him without blinking!
He spent close to seven hours!
Su Yu came in the evening. When he arrived, it was not even 5 pm. At this moment, it was already late at night!
As for Zhao Li, his whole body was soaked in sweat.
The next moment, the last golden pattern was formed and covered the entire dagger.
The dagger turned from transparent to gold.
"Condense!"
With a loud roar, Zhao Li's willpower exploded. The dagger instantly disappeared in front of everyone.
The next moment, a loud bang was heard!
An old man's willpower exploded. Looking at the black dagger in front of him, he couldn't help but scold, "Lao Zhao, are you crazy? You want to kill me?"
"At least it's Three Steps to the Cloud. I won't die!"
Zhao Li panted, "It doesn't match with my Shenwen. I'm trying the effect. It looks pretty good. 39 patterns. It's considered the best among the low-class mystic class. Luckily, it was just recast. Otherwise, it would be useless."
Su Yu, on the other hand, was in a daze from the beginning to the end.
He couldn't react at all. He didn't see how the dagger disappeared and how it appeared in front of the old man.
If the dagger was aimed at him … Su Yu wouldn't even know how he died!
Was this Wenbing?
Zhao Li waved his hand and the dagger returned. The next moment, it disappeared from his hand. He smiled and said, "It can be kept in the Sea Of Will to be nurtured. Of course, the master isn't here. Otherwise, I would have included Shenwen and nurtured it together to strengthen the compatibility between Shenwen and Wenbing."
After saying that, Zhao Li exhaled and looked at the others. "Why aren't you guys leaving? Are you waiting for me to treat you to a meal?"
The few old men were speechless. They didn't stay for long and left one after another.
A few young students looked at Su Yu with curiosity and jealousy.
Su Yu was also ready to leave. However, Zhao Li waved his hand and asked him to wait. Was he giving him special treatment?
…
Su Yu was also curious about Zhao Li's purpose of staying.
However, Zhao Li had no intention of giving him special treatment. He casually threw out a pitch-black knife. It was very small, like a toy. He said casually, "Didn't I say last time? I'll give you an embryo. Throw it into the pool in your filtration room. You won't need it now. Take it out when you need it. "
"This is … Wenbing embryo?"
Su Yu played with the knife and squeezed it. It was like dough. When he squeezed it, it actually softened!
Su Yu was stunned!
This was a weapon?
"Wenbing isn't a military weapon. Didn't you hear what I said before?"
Zhao Li said unhappily, "This is a top-notch yellow-grade Wenbing embryo. It's not worth much. I originally wanted to get you a mystic one, but I thought that you wouldn't need it. Just use a yellow-grade one. When you reach the Nurturing stage, you can use it. When you integrate into the Shenwen, come find me. I'll get you some matching materials …"
After saying that, he said again, "That illusion Shenwen of yours isn't easy to make. It's very difficult to make. Other than that, you seem to have mastered the lightning element Shenwen?"
"Yes, I have also mastered the 'lightning' Shenwen. The 'blood' Shenwen, other than illusions, can also suck blood …"
Su Yu hurriedly replied!
Zhao Li thought for a while and said, "I understand. Sucking blood, lightning … these are all offensive characteristics. You use a knife, right? I suggest that when you reach the Nurturing stage, it's best to outline the 'knife' Shenwen or the 'soldier' Shenwen. If that doesn't work, the 'break' Shenwen is fine too, or the 'shatter' is fine too …"
Zhao Li said, "It's mainly to complement your sucking blood characteristic. It's sharper, so you can create wounds on the enemy and unleash the power of the sucking blood characteristic …"
Su Yu hurriedly said, "Teacher, these Shenwen can be specially learned to outline?"
"Of course!"
Zhao Li smiled. "The prerequisite is … your family has money! For example, a Text of Will contains a certain word. If you can't learn it after reading it once, you can read it a few more times. Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times … there's still hope of learning it! "
"Of course. After reading it so many times, I've wasted at least dozens of Texts of Will. If you don't lack money, you can give it a try!"
"…"
Su Yu smiled bitterly. 'I lack it!
Don't mention dozens, I only have two complete copies of Hanjun realm Texts of Will. Where am I going to find so many? '
"This has nothing to do with me. Look for Bai Feng!" Zhao Li snappily said, "If you were my major student, I would definitely find a way to find these Runes of Will for you and let you learn them. But you're not, so I won't waste too much energy on you!"
"I'm already very satisfied. Thank you for the gift, Teacher, and thank you for your guidance!"
Su Yu hurriedly expressed his gratitude. Zhao Li was indeed very kind. Today, he almost made a mistake in weapon forging, and it was all because of him. If not for Su Yu's presence, he probably wouldn't even be bothered to speak.
"That's all for now. Go back and rest early!"
Zhao Li said. When Su Yu was about to leave, he suddenly said, "If one day you want to forge your own weapon and outline a suitable Shenwen for weapon forging … I can teach you a method to stimulate your willpower. It'll last as long as I do!"
"…"
Su Yu turned to look at Zhao Li and bowed again. "Thank you, Teacher. I will do my best!"
"Scram!"
Waving his hand, he impatiently sent Su Yu away.
After Su Yu left, Zhao Li let out a sigh of relief. Feeling a little tired, he muttered, "What a pity. He's clearly a good candidate for weapon forging, but he insisted on going to the Shenwen system. His willpower is so weak. After so many eruptions of Shenwen, there's a chance he could forge an Earth-level Wenbing with 73 golden patterns …"
Turning to look at the depths of the laboratory, Zhao Li felt a little regretful.
There was a semi-finished Earth-level Wenbing hidden there!
72 golden patterns, 73 on the verge of forming. What a pity … he couldn't forge it anymore!
"Unless I go to the Mountain Sea Realm, or cultivate the Spirit Expansion Technique to a deeper level. What a pity …"
Zhao Li sighed. As for the others, there was no hope for them!
For the new students this year, not to mention many eruptions of Shenwen, even a few upper-grade geniuses would feel like their lives depended on it. Cultivating the Spirit Expansion Technique would be a waste of time. It was completely useless.
