Chapter 123 - 123: Learning Forging in the Blacksmith Shop, Birth of the Blood Qi Sword Forging Secret Technique! (2)
“What’s going on?”
Lu Changsheng immediately helped Blacksmith Ou up.
“Hero Zhuang, you saved our family…”
After that, Blacksmith Ou told him about the day when the demonic martial artists ‘Bloodthirsty Bugs wreaked havoc. Blacksmith Ou’s family was invaded by Bloodthirsty Bugs, and many servants died.
At the last moment, Zhuang Shisan killed the demon warriors and killed the bloodthirsty bugs. Blacksmith Ou’s family survived.
“What does Hero Zhuang want to learn? This old man will naturally teach you everything!”
Blacksmith Ou said firmly.
It was no longer important at this moment.
Since ‘Hero Zhuang’ had come personally, what else could Blacksmith Ou hesitate about?
Lu Changsheng had underestimated Zhuang Shisan’s influence in Nanyang Prefecture.
He had just taken out a hundred gold, and he wouldn’t even mind if it was a thousand gold.
However, Blacksmith Ou didn’t know how to teach Lu Changsheng the skills that were passed down from his ancestors.
However, he had only revealed his identity as Zhuang Shisan, and Blacksmith Ou had offered to teach him everything without taking a single cent.
This was the benefit of reputation.
There was a reason why everyone in the martial world fought for fame and fortune.
“Then 1’11 have to trouble Blacksmith Ou.”
Blacksmith Ou rejected the offer, so Lu Changsheng didn’t insist.
“Hero Zhuang, what do you want to learn?”
” I want the blood sword forging technique, especially the divine sword you forged. That blood refining technique is quite magical.”
Lu Changsheng knew that Blacksmith Ou’s ultimate skill was to forge divine weapons through blood refinement.
“Hahaha, that’s easy, that’s easy.”
” However, forging a sword is not an easy job. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to learn it in a short period of time. I wonder if Hero Zhuang can endure the hardship?”
Blacksmith Ou asked carefully.
“What’s the big deal about suffering? In order to practice martial arts, what hardships have 1 not suffered?”
“From today onwards, I’m Master Ou’s apprentice. As long as Master Ou is willing to teach me, I don’t mind any hard work.”
Lu Changsheng bowed to Blacksmith Ou.
Of course, this was not a real apprenticeship.
Blacksmith Ou was very satisfied.
“Hero Zhuang, if you want to forge a sword, you have to forge iron first. This is the basic skill.”
” You can forge first. You can forge ten thousand times or even a hundred thousand times. When the time is right, I will naturally stop.”
” Alright,” Lu Changsheng nodded and said,” 1’11 forge first.” From today onwards, I will come to the blacksmith shop every night to learn how to forge swords.”
“However, 1 hope that the news of me being here will not be leaked out to avoid any trouble.”
Blacksmith Ou hurriedly promised that he would not spread the news.
The apprentices in the blacksmith shop also patted their chests and promised.
Therefore, Lu Changsheng started to forge in the blacksmith shop.
The basic skill of forging a sword was to forge iron.
It needed to be hammered again and again until it was thoroughly tempered.
The strength could not be too great, but it could not be too small either. It required perseverance and precise control of the strength. Every time, the strength could be controlled to the best.
Lu Changsheng was also bare-chested as he hammered the red-hot iron block again and again.
Lu Changsheng was a Divine Power Realm warrior, so he could control his power more precisely than anyone else.
Every strand of power was almost the same, as precise as a machine.
Moreover, he had undergone six Marrow Transformations and Blood Transformations, so his physical fitness was very strong. His stamina was many times stronger than those blacksmith apprentices.
Even if he kept hammering the branding iron for three days and three nights, there would be no problem.
Blacksmith Ou was also paying attention to Zhuang Shisan and giving him pointers.
However, the more he gave pointers, the more shocked he became.
Zhuang Shisan was a fast learner. He could understand almost as soon as he said it.
However, no matter how talented or how strong he was, the accumulation of experience could not be completed in a day.
The second day, the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day…
Every night, Lu Changsheng would come to the blacksmith’s shop and hammer at least a thousand times.
Lu Changsheng had swung the hammer about 30,000 times over the past 20 days.
Blacksmith Ou watched Zhuang Shisan for more than 20 days without any complaints. Every night, he would come to forge pig iron with a sledgehammer. He was also very envious.
” He’s really a good blacksmith. Unfortunately, he’s a martial artist…”
Blacksmith Ou even had the urge to make Zhuang Shisan his successor.
He was confident that once Zhuang Shisan focused on forging, he would be able to forge many divine weapons. It was even possible for him to reach the level of Ou Yezi, the ancestor of the Ou Clan.
However, Blacksmith Ou knew very well that Zhuang Shisan was a martial artist in the pugilistic world, and a figure like a divine dragon. How could he forge in a blacksmith shop without knowing anything?
If word got out that the mighty Hero Zhuang, a martial artist at the Divine Power Realm, was forging in a blacksmith shop?
That would be the biggest joke!
“Alright, Hero Zhuang, you don’t have to forge today.”
“You’re already familiar with the steps of forging a sword. You can officially forge a sword now.”
Blacksmith Ou’s voice rang in Lu Changsheng’s ears.
Lu Changsheng raised his head and stopped his hammer.
He held the hammer in one hand, and drops of sweat dripped into the furnace, making a sizzling sound.
“You can forge swords now?”
Lu Changsheng was surprised, but at the same time, it seemed reasonable.
For more than twenty days, he spent every night in the Blacksmith Shop. It seemed like he was hammering iron, but in fact, he knew all the steps of forging swords in the Blacksmith Shop.
“Hero Zhuang, you can try forging your own sword now..”
