Forge shop. Located in the south of the outer city. As soon as he got close, Jiang Ning heard the sound of clanging iron. The forging shop is very large and the door is very open. Standing at the entrance of the forging shop, you can hear the sounds of forging fine iron coming from the backyard. Jiang Ning also knew a little bit about the forging shop. As far as he knew, both the standard long knives of the Yamen policemen and the standard weapons of the City Gate Department came from the forging shop. Therefore, there are also many people in the forging shop. Many ordinary families often sell their children to the forging shop as servants when they are twelve or thirteen years old in order to provide their offspring with a skill that can make a living. After three years of doing odd jobs and three years of helping others, you can learn the craft. This is the normal growth path of a qualified weapon blacksmith.
With the continuous addition of young personnel, the forging shop will naturally grow bigger and bigger. Moreover, joining the weapon forging shop allows ordinary people to learn martial arts. If you have good martial arts talent, you will be trained by the weapon forging shop. This is another way out. So even if it takes a few years to sell oneself to a blacksmithing shop, it is still very attractive to ordinary people. at this time. When Jiang Ning came to the forging shop, there were many people coming and going. It's much livelier than the entrance of Wanhua Building. Because ordinary people also need to buy some iron tools. Whether it's a sickle, an axe, or a small item such as a hatchet, the blacksmith shop sells them. Jiang Ning walked into the forging shop. When a young man who looked like a servant saw Jiang Ning, he came up to him. As someone who has been entertaining guests here for a long time, he can naturally tell which groups of people have the spending power. Jiang Ning entered with a knife in his hand, his steps steady, his eyes filled with light. At first glance, you can tell that he is a martial arts practitioner. In the eyes of this young man who looks like a servant, this kind of person has very good spending power. Because without a certain family background, it is difficult for ordinary people to practice martial arts. Practicing martial arts all year round, not to mention various tonics, the consumption of meat alone is a huge amount. Ordinary people, at most, only get a little bit of meat during the holidays.
How to practice martial arts? Without oil and water, your body will collapse after practicing martial arts for three to five months. Because of this, in the eyes of the young man who looks like a servant. Anyone who practices martial arts must have a good family background. If you have a good family background, your spending power will naturally be good. "Master, I wonder what weapons you want to buy when you come to the shop?" The boy came to Jiang Ning, nodded and bowed. Jiang Ning said: "I need a good knife that I can use easily." "It's easy!" A look of pride appeared on the young man's face: "When it comes to good swords, our forging shop has many of them, so I will definitely be able to return with satisfaction." Then he said: "This man, come with me!" "Yeah!" Jiang Ning nodded. The two then came to the weapons rack on one side. "Sir, please try these weapons. They are all forged from fine iron. The blades are extremely sharp and have the effect of blowing and breaking hair." When Jiang Ning heard this, he casually picked up a long knife. "Shua——" He unsheathed his sword. Immediately there was another "swish" sound, and the sword was sheathed. "Too light!" Jiang Ning shook his head: "These should all be below the Hundred-Forged Weapon Blade level!" "This man has really good eyesight!" The boy nodded repeatedly: "These are hundred-forged weapons carefully forged by the masters." Jiang Ning shook his head: "Don't waste time. The Hundred-Forged Weapon is too light for me and is meaningless! Take me to see a better knife." Hearing these words, a flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the young man dressed as a servant. He is a man from the weapons forging shop, so he naturally knows a lot about weapons. A hundred-forged weapon can be used even by a master who has just entered the ninth level of martial arts. And the young man in front of him who didn't look very old, about eighteen or nineteen years old, really said that it was a waste of time to look at the Hundred Forged Weapon. All too light. Then what kind of strength will he be? The young man dressed as a servant couldn't help but have this doubt in his heart. Immediately. He said: "Okay, Master, then you come with me."
After saying that, he led Jiang Ning to the shop next door. Stepping into the shop next door, Jiang Ning heard the sound of forging getting louder. "Master, come and take a look at these weapons. They are all weapons made of fine iron that was forged three to five hundred times." When Jiang Ning heard this, he became interested. Immediately he came to the weapons rack and grabbed a long knife. Get the long knife. He clearly felt the size and weight of this long knife. It is four feet and three inches long and weighs fifty-three pounds. Jiang Ning immediately drew his sword out of its sheath. Swish—— A cold light suddenly flickered in the room. Jiang Ning swung the knife at will. In an instant. The light of the sword flashed in the room, and a strong wind came out of thin air. When the boy saw this, he looked a little horrified, and then stepped back. He couldn't help being surprised. He knew this sword very well. It was forged five hundred and thirty-seven times, and it was the highest quality weapon here. Among the swords here, this sword is also an extremely heavy weapon. Weighs fifty-three pounds. This kind of weight can only be wielded freely by those in the eighth level of martial arts realm. But for a strong man like that, it would be difficult for him to fight for a long time with a long sword of such weight. Moreover, although swordsmanship emphasizes dominance and indomitable momentum, it is still based on technique, and there are very few fighting styles that rely on force to overwhelm others. Because if the power is really strong, other types of heavy weapons will often be chosen, such as sticks, hammers, guns, and other tools. So although this knife is of excellent quality, it has not been sold in the forging shop for so many years. After entering the ninth level of martial arts, there is a threshold at every step. It is difficult to make the membrane as hard as stone, and it is even more difficult to make the membrane as hard as copper. Each step is a huge improvement, and therefore each step is difficult. Normal people need to work hard like water grinding to achieve it. Therefore, there are not many people in the eighth level of divine power in Luoshui County.
There are naturally fewer people who use knives. Not to mention such a heavy knife. After a few breaths. Jiang Ning stopped testing the knife. At this time, his face was still not red and he was not out of breath. The 53-pound long knife in his hand seemed like nothing in his hand. He weighed it a few more times to feel the weight of the weapon in his hand. Then he shook his head secretly. "Fifty-three pounds, for a normal eighth-grade martial artist with a strength of more than 1,500 pounds, it is indeed quite good and quite handy." "After all, if it is heavier, it will consume too much physical strength, and even an ordinary eighth-grade divine power realm will feel burdened." "But I am different. I am not afraid of a long battle, and I fight with a few swords. So the heavier my sword is, the better." "And my strength is improving rapidly now. It won't be long before my strength will exceed 2,000 pounds or 3,000 pounds." Thinking of this. Jiang Ning sheathed his sword. Then he said: "Do you have a heavier sword?" "Isn't this heavy enough?" The servant said with a look of astonishment. Jiang Ning shook his head slightly: "Not enough! It's still a little light. It's better to have twice this weight, or even heavier." Hearing this, the servant looked at Jiang Ning with horror. Among martial artists. The size of the strength can basically show their approximate strength. Generally speaking, the swords used in actual combat with a strength of 1,000 pounds are all 30 to 40 pounds. If it is heavier, it will not be conducive to performance. It will appear clumsy and will greatly consume physical strength. And this sword with 530 forgings weighs 53 pounds. With this weight, even if a martial arts 8th-grade divine power realm comes here, he will not say that the sword is light. But Jiang Ning said that the sword is still light at this moment. This shocked the servant. He naturally knew what this meant. And Jiang Ning was able to wield this sword freely just now, which also shows that Jiang Ning is not bragging.
"Could this person be a strong man in the 8th-grade divine power realm?" Thinking of this. The servant swallowed his saliva, and then said: "Then please wait a moment, sir, the sword in my hand is already the final sword here." "If you want a better sword, I don't have the authority, I have to ask the shopkeeper first." Hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded: "No problem, go ahead!" "Okay, sir!" The servant nodded and bowed. Then he turned around and trotted away. Jiang Ning put the long sword in his hand back to the weapon rack, and then tried a few swords next to it. After swinging it, he also found that the sword just now was indeed the heaviest sword. The heaviest of the few swords he tried later was no more than 50 kilograms. Most of them were only 20 to 30 kilograms. This weight is very convenient for a martial arts ninth-grade master to use, and it can even be said to be a bit cumbersome. Then. He came to the heavy weapon rack again. He couldn't help but smack his lips when he picked up a pair of giant hammers. "It's so heavy!" "It weighs about 150 kilograms." "How terrifying is the explosive power of this hammer?" "Ordinary people will smash themselves into meat paste!" Immediately. He held the hammer with both hands and began to swing it. Woo woo woo—— In an instant. The wind around was howling, like ghosts and wolves howling. A strong wind suddenly blew in the room. At the same time. A sturdy man with a height of more than two meters and muscles like iron blocks stepped into the room. His skin seemed to be covered with charcoal, dark black.
He wiped his hands with a towel as he walked. Then. He saw Jiang Ning swinging his two hammers. A flash of shock suddenly flashed in his eyes. "This force is estimated to be more than 1,500 kilograms!!!" "When did Luoshui County produce such a young genius!!" Behind him, the servant who followed him closely saw this scene, and he was also surprised. At this time. Jiang Ning also noticed the appearance of the two people, so he stopped his movements. "It's so cool!!" Feeling that his body had become hot, the blood flowed faster, and there was some sweat on his forehead, Jiang Ning suddenly felt that this state was very cool. "I am Yang Kai, the deputy shopkeeper of the forging shop." The two-meter-tall iron tower man saw Jiang Ning stop practicing hammers, so he spoke. Then he said: "I don't know where the little brother is from?" Jiang Ning was slightly surprised when he heard this. He also knew a little about Yang Kai. Because Yang Kai is a strong man of the eighth rank of martial arts. He is also the deputy manager of the weapon forging shop. He has both power and status. He is also a big man in the whole Luoshui County and has a great influence. Then Jiang Ning said: "Disciple of Canglang Martial Arts School, Jiang Ning!" "Jiang Ning?" The iron tower man looked at Jiang Ning with a little surprise, and his face showed surprise: "So you are Jiang Ning?" "Manager Yang knows me?" Jiang Ning asked curiously. Yang Kai chuckled: "It's hard for me not to have heard of your name! After all, Lord Shen was transferred out of Luoshui County because of you." Subsequently. Yang Kai looked at Jiang Ning and sighed: "No wonder the former Master Shen was able to go against the Cao family for your fate. Your talent is really scary!" Jiang Ning said: "Shopkeeper Yang praised me, I just have a lot of strength!" While speaking, Jiang Ning had already placed the two sledgehammers in his hands. Yang Kai took a closer look at Jiang Ning and saw that Jiang Ning's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he was not breathing. Then he sighed: "No wonder you think that knife is still light! Youth is indeed good, and physical strength is good!"
Jiang Ning said: "Shopkeeper Yang, I don't know if there is a better knife in the blacksmith shop." Yang Kai couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Then he showed a proud look on his face: "That's natural! But that kind of weapon cannot be measured by money." "What do you need?" Jiang Ning asked. Yang Kai said: "As the saying goes, swords are given to heroes, and their owners cannot disgrace those weapons." Jiang Ning said: "Then can I be considered a hero?" "You?" Yang Kai looked at Jiang Ning and said, "For now." Then he said: "You come with me first!" Finished. Yang Kai walked towards the wall beside him. Then push an ordinary-looking brick on the wall. Rumble—— As a low sound sounded, a thick bluestone brick slowly popped out. There is an obvious depression on the bluestone brick. Then Yang Kai took out a token from himself, placed it in the depression of the bluestone brick, and then pressed it down hard. Rumble—— The ground suddenly shook. As the vibrations sounded, several thick bricks suddenly opened slowly in the center of the room. A dark tunnel was revealed. Yang Kai said, this is where our forging soldiers lay out the really good stuff. I have forged ten very satisfactory works in my life, and they are all placed below. While talking. Yang Kai walked slowly towards the tunnel along the stairs. His figure just disappeared into the dark tunnel. boom-- boom-- boom-- How the fire started.
The entire dark tunnel was suddenly illuminated by firelight. "Do you dare to come in?" Yang Kai turned around and asked. Jiang Ning shook the long knife in his hand and immediately smiled. "What's wrong with that?" As he spoke, he also took the first step up the stairs. Jiang Ning didn't have much fear in Yang Kai's heart. Even after entering the tunnel, Yang Kai harbored ill intentions towards him. He is not afraid either. Because he knows Yang Kai's strength. That is, an ordinary eighth-grade divine power realm. The strength of an ordinary eighth-grade divine power realm is only about 1,500 kilograms. Not too different from him. Even if Yang Kai hides some strength, he can only have a strength of two thousand at most. With a force of two thousand kilograms, he could easily kill him with his sword now that he had all his weapons at his disposal. From Jiang Ning's point of view, those who truly pose a certain threat to him now are. He must be a top expert in the eighth level of divine power. A top master with a strength of about three thousand kilograms. This kind of master is more than twice as powerful as him. In addition, his skin is like bronze and his body is extremely strong, so he will be a certain threat to him. Otherwise, with his current strength, he would be unjust to Ueda again. Jiang Ning was confident of fighting him on the plains, and the outcome was still unknown. His strength is no longer what it used to be. Much stronger than it was then. Not only did my strength increase by three to four hundred pounds. The Five Animal Fist broke through the limit, and the energy, blood and body increased greatly. In particular, his sword skills have broken the limit four times and he has mastered the power of the sword. With the blessing of momentum, it is a real qualitative change. From Jiang Ning's point of view, if he were to face himself who was fighting Tian Buyi at this time.
With at most three swords, he could beheaded by the sword at that time. This is how he has changed during this time. The progress can be described as rapid. Subsequently. Saw Jiang Ning stepping into the tunnel. Yang Kai nodded slightly, then turned around and led the way forward. The two of them continued to go deeper into the tunnel.
