2061 Test 7
However…
The Weapon Refining Sect’s examination did not impose excessively high standards, taking into account the participants’ limited familiarity with sword forging. Nearly all the disciples who managed to shape a sword successfully passed the examination. Those unable to even produce a sword-like form failed the Weapon Refining Sect’s assessment.
Being the Supreme Sect’s examination, certain expectations were in place regardless of one’s prior exposure to such skills. At the very least, swift learning and meeting the comprehensive standards of the Supreme Sect were prerequisites for success.
Well…
Some of them could be used to forge swords.
That was all.
Yan Zhengchu was one of them.
He was forging an ordinary black iron sword, and his craftsmanship resulted in an exquisite blade and hilt. It was evident that he had prior experience with sword forging.
Meanwhile, Zhuo Yuanbai also undertook the task of sword forging.
However, he opted for different materials compared to Yan Wuji. While Yan Wuji utilized ordinary black iron, Zhuo Yuanbai fused his materials with ordinary black iron.
Zhuo Yuanbai discovered scraps of black gold mystic iron in the forging room, which were deemed useless for regular forging purposes. Not wanting to let them go to waste, he chose to incorporate them into his sword.
In truth…
The swords he made were much sharper than ordinary black iron swords.
Also…
Zhuo Yuanbai’s eyes fell upon the sword in Gu Chaoyan’s hands.
Gu Chaoyan’s sword had a crystal place on the hilt. But there were no crystals at the moment, so it was empty. So the sword looked very ugly.
Zhuo Yuanbai had not expected that Gu Chaoyan could forge a sword as well.
After the surprise…
He was even more sarcastic.
Metallic iron?
The swords made of metal and black iron were not as strong as the swords made of black gold and black iron.
When the Elder of the Equipment Refining Sect had already calculated their result, Zhuo Yuanbai walked out with his sword in hand. “Gu Chaoyan, do you dare to have a competition with my sword?”
“….”
“Apart from Second Prince’s black iron swords, only the swords forged by us can be used.”
“….”
“Let’s have a competition and see whose sword is sharper.”
“….”
“This is the first time that I, Zhuo Yuanbai, have seen such an ugly sword. And the metal is harder than ordinary black iron. But not everyone can control the metal. If you can’t control the fire, your black iron is useless!”
Gu Chaoyan did not want to admit that it was ugly.
The sword was not ugly. It was just empty, and the place where the crystals were kept was a bit annoying. When the crystals were put in, it would be very domineering.
Also…
The Zhuo Family had a penchant for competition, and this trait extended to Zhuo Yuanming and Zhuo Yuanbai.
After the previous competition with Gu Chaoyan, Zhuo Yuanming had not fared well. Gu Chaoyan couldn’t comprehend why Zhuo Yuanbai persisted in challenging her.
She had no interest in competing.
However, Zhuo Yuanbai should not have deemed her sword as inferior.
“What if your sword isn’t better than mine?”
