N-A-A Chapter 343 Forging a Sword Spirit!
Chapter 343 Forging a Sword Spirit!
Soon, under the attack of Xu Xingyu and the Dragon-Slaying Sword, the originally majestic water beasts were reduced to only their corresponding demigod-level blood crystals.
After extracting the power of the three water beasts, the Dragon-Slaying Sword seemed to have eaten and drunk its fill. It stopped extracting Xu Xingyu's soul power and seemed to have been completely repaired.
However, as the holder, Xu Xingyu knew that the matter of the Dragon Slaying Sword was not over yet. The biggest evidence was that he had not received any notification that the second test was completed.
The content of Xu Xingyu's second test of the Nine Tests of the Dragon God is to gain the recognition of the Dragon Slaying Sword within one day. In theory, after completing the Dragon Slaying Sword's recognition ceremony, Xu Xingyu should be considered to have gained the recognition of the Dragon Slaying Sword.
However, the news of passing the assessment and the reward did not appear in Xu Xingyu's mind, which means that Xu Xingyu seemed to have completed the assessment, but actually did not.
This reminded Xu Xingyu of a similar incident that happened in a plane next to Douluo. There was a ceremony for the artifact to recognize its master, but at the critical moment, a second recognition ceremony was required, which almost wiped out the teammate at that time and caused him to suffer serious injuries.
The reason for this was that person, it seemed to be Ji Dong. It was his artifact, the Sword of the God of Fire, that once sealed a second-level god, which led to the artifact directly evolving after the missing Heavenly Jade was gathered. This led to the so-called second recognition of the master.
The situation was similar for Xu Xingyu's Dragon Slaying Sword. After absorbing the energy of the three semi-god-level water beasts and the immortal spirit contained in the Dragon Pond, the Dragon Slaying Sword also began to evolve.
However, the difference is that the Dragon-Slaying Sword does not need any extra energy replenishment. The long period of drawing the fairy spirit from the Dragon Pond and the energy of the three water beasts has already brought it to a saturated state.
Therefore, all the Dragon Slaying Sword needs is time to digest this energy. It will then evolve actively and drag Xu Xingyu into the second master recognition ceremony.
The problem is that Xu Xingyu doesn't have the time! According to Xu Xingyu's observation, it will take at least a week for the Dragon Slaying Sword to fully digest this energy.
But Xu Xingyu only gave him about one day for the second test!!! It was too late!!!
Just as Xu Xingyu was worried, Buyer said, "Dad, I have a way to speed up the time of the Dragon Slaying Sword, but that method is a little difficult."
Xu Xingyu suppressed her impatience and asked calmly, "Buyer, why don't you tell me what the solution is? I don't have anything else to focus on right now. Even if your solution is difficult, I have to try it."
After receiving Xu Xingyu's promise, Buyer slowly said, "The best way to make the Dragon Slash Sword evolve quickly is to breed a new blade spirit for the Dragon Slash Sword in advance. As long as the weapon spirit is blessed, the Dragon Slash Sword will actively and quickly absorb the energy of Qichun Village to complete its evolution."
Xu Xingyu frowned and said, "Then how can we breed the blade spirit of the Dragon Slaying Sword? The previous blade spirit of the Dragon Slaying Sword has been wiped out, and now after such a long time, there is no sign of breeding a new blade spirit."
"It's not that there are no signs at all." Buyer explained: "I can feel that the Dragon Slaying Blade still has a certain spirituality, but this spirituality is not enough for it to gather enough spiritual wisdom to become a weapon spirit."
"So the safest way is to gather spirits for it through forging. In this way, in theory, the Dragon Slaying Sword can obtain a new spirit, but..."
"only?"
"But even if you don't need any special materials, to forge a divine weapon like the Dragon Slaying Blade you must at least have the level of a so-called divine craftsman. In other words, your forging skills must be at the level of a heavenly forger."
"The level of Tianduan." Xu Xingyu murmured.
The so-called Heavenly Forging is the highest level of metal that a person can forge without becoming a god. Sublimating the metal to the point where it can communicate with the laws of heaven and earth, attract thunder disasters, and imprint the laws on it. It can be said that only those who can achieve such a miracle can be considered a true god craftsman.
Xu Xingyu's current level can only be regarded as that of a Saint Craftsman. The level of forging he has achieved is at most soul forging, which is still some distance away from the level of heaven forging.
Of course, Xu Xingyu himself knew the relevant knowledge on how to implement the Tianduan, but he just didn't have any practical experience.
This is also thanks to the experience of being a plane in the original world at that time, which allowed Xu Xingyu to explore the deep knowledge about forging from the laws of the plane.
As for the formal soul forging, it was when he was repairing Ma Xiaotao's battle armor after the battle with the Anti-Spirit Alliance. During the repair process, he inadvertently got the inspiration to forge all the metal of Ma Xiaotao's battle armor into soul forging, making the first three-word battle armor in Douluo Continent appear.
Therefore, Xu Xingyu can now be regarded as a holy craftsman with the knowledge of a divine craftsman, but he has absolutely no experience in forging heavenly forges (if there is any conflict with the above, this shall prevail).
If the current Xu Xingyu were to rashly carry out the Heavenly Refining, the success rate would be less than 20%!
Buyer also knew about this, so she said that this method would be very difficult for Xu Xingyu.
But since there was no other way, Xu Xingyu could only bite the bullet and do it. Xu Xingyu took out his two heavy silver hammers that had been upgraded to soul forging and smashed them in the direction of the dragon-slaying sword.
The sound of "dong dong dang dang" began to echo in the Shenlong Pool, and with every strike of Xu Xingyu, a faint colorful mist began to surround Xu Xingyu and was absorbed by the Dragon Slaying Sword.
These thick fogs are the so-called spiritual energy. Normal metals can develop their own wisdom by absorbing this spiritual energy, allowing the metal to reach the level of spiritual forging.
The soul forging above that is actually giving the metal the so-called soul, allowing the soul-forged metal that was originally considered a plant-like life form to be promoted to the same existence as animal life forms, which is the process of giving the metal wisdom.
Every time Xu Xingyu forged the Dragon Slaying Sword, the Sword would begin to absorb the gathered spiritual energy. At the same time, it would also better absorb the energy from the three water beasts in the process.
However, after an incident, Xu Xingyu was not satisfied with the speed of absorption, because if it continued like this, it would take one or two days to complete the forging, and his second test would end in failure.
Although Xu Xingyu understood the principle that more haste makes waste, he simply did not have time to complete all of this slowly due to time constraints.
Therefore, Xu Xingyu cut her wrist without thinking, and a large amount of nine-colored blood began to spill on the Dragon-Slaying Sword, and a blood sacrifice began.
