"... As long as you can complete the four steps of casting, forging bones, sharpening the edge, and resting the mind, and refining the blood and guts sword, you will pass the examination." Nie Fangsheng thought for a while and said.
In fact, according to the previous rules, new disciples have just started learning sword casting, as long as they can complete the step of casting, they are considered to have passed the assessment. After all, the assessment is once every half a month, and there is not much time for new disciples to study and practice, so the requirements should not be too high . Otherwise, no one would be able to get the trial token, and who would come to learn swordsmithing from him, and it's not because he came to Longyan Academy to seek abuse.
But facing Mu Hanyan, he had to double the standard, otherwise, he might as well just give him the trial token and forget it.
"Is it enough to cast a sword of blood and courage? Then I want to conduct the assessment now, is that okay?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"What, he is going to conduct the assessment now!" All around, everyone was stunned again.
Everyone looked at Mu Hanyan in surprise, well, after listening to Nie Fangsheng teach him the art of forging a sword, and after a night of comprehension on his own, he successfully forged the shape of a blood gall sword and forged a gentian sword bone. It can be said that her talent is amazing, but at least the twelve methods of casting and forging bones are taught by Nie Fangsheng's precepts and deeds.
Nie Fangsheng hadn’t taught the subsequent twenty-four methods of strengthening the front and nourishing the mind. Mu Hanyan just read the secrets of refining weapons handed down by the Nie family for a while, and it took less than half an hour before and after. It is impossible for Mu Hanyan to learn all the experiences recorded by her ancestors.
"Mu Hanyan, don't just belittle my Nie family's ancestral sword-casting technique just because you have some talent!" Don't talk about others, even Nie Fangsheng himself can't believe that Mu Hanyan has such ability.
It took him seven full years to achieve some success in the twenty-four methods of sharpening the front and rejuvenating the mind. Mu Hanyan only glanced at the secrets of sword casting, how could he learn it so quickly.
humiliation! In his mind, when Mu Hanyan said this, he was talking nonsense and deliberately humiliating him.
"Master Nie was joking. The sword-making skills handed down by the ancestors of the Nie family are extensive and profound. How dare I underestimate them. However, with the guidance of a master swordsmith like Master Nie, my sword-making skills have improved rapidly, and my understanding has improved a lot. , so it’s easy to see, and I can’t do anything about it.” Mu Hanyan looked at Nie Fangsheng’s frantic look, felt a little bit dark in his heart, and said pretending to be helpless.
After hearing Mu Hanyan's words, some people around couldn't help laughing out loud.
The Nie family has long been famous for their sword casting skills. When Nie Fangsheng was passed down by his grandfather, it took him only three years to learn the twelve methods of casting and forging bones, and then it took another seven years to learn the twenty-four methods of sharpening the edge and nourishing the mind. He was shocked by the Nie clan as a heavenly being, regarded him as a rare sword-making genius in the Nie family, and publicized it, so many children of the family have heard of the name of Nie Fangsheng's generation of sword-making geniuses.
Counting it, it took Nie Fangsheng ten years to learn the sword-making technique, but it took Mu Hanyan only one day if he hadn't just talked about it. No, in fact, it's not even a day, and even the following twenty-four methods of cultivating the mind are completely learned from books. It is self-evident who is high and who is low, who is strong and who is weak.
It would be fine for Mu Hanyan to be honest about his talent for making swords, but insisting that under Nie Fangsheng's guidance, his sword-making skills have improved rapidly, and his understanding has improved a lot. Isn't this clearly mocking Nie Fangsheng
"Okay, okay, okay! It's up to you if you want to test in advance, I want to see how you forged the sword of blood and courage." Nie Fangsheng's anger, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, burst out again, and he almost rushed into blood. Breaking through Tianling, he said three good words in succession, panting and said to Mu Hanyan.
The assessment time of Longyan College is the first and fifteenth day of each month. If you are confident, you can do it earlier, but there are only two opportunities for assessment each month. To be on the safe side, few disciples are willing to advance, but Mu Hanyan wants to advance. It's not a bad rule either.
"Then use this sword to continue casting, how about?" Mu Hanyan asked.
With the assistance of Chaos Skyfire, casting and forging bones has no difficulty for her, and she is too lazy to waste any more time.
"As you please." Nie Fang said in a buzzing voice. After thinking about it, he felt that he was really unwilling to be humiliated by Mu Hanyan's junior repeatedly, so he snorted and said, "Don't think that you have seen it My Nie family's sword-making secret book can make a sword of blood and courage, and the twenty-four methods of sharpening the edge and nourishing the mind are not as simple as you imagine."
"Thank you, Lord Nie, for reminding me that this disciple will be careful, and I will thank Lord Nie for his kindness after the Sword of Blood and Gallbladder is forged." Mu Hanyan said to Nie Fangsheng, pretending to be grateful.
Do you understand, I am mocking you, mocking you! Nie Fangsheng was so choked by her that he couldn't speak, he just felt that there was something stuck in his heart, how uncomfortable it was.
The college disciples around couldn't help laughing again, and they were also grateful to Dade. Seeing Mu Hanyan's posture, I'm afraid it's true that he won't be reconciled if he doesn't make Nie Fang angry to death.
"The bet is placed. This time, what Mu Hanyan is going to forge is a complete sword of blood and guts. You all know that he has never even learned the twenty-four methods of Lifeng Yangshen. He just glanced at it. It must be impossible." Success, if you miss this village, there will be no shop here, everyone quickly bet." Ling Baobao shouted loudly, anyway, even Nie Fangsheng himself had bet just now, and he became even more unscrupulous.
"In other words, you lost by beating Mu Hanyan?" The college student who had been "picked up" by Ling Baobao before accidentally said angrily.
"Of course not. Mu Hanyan and I are as close as brothers, so how could he lose the bet?" Only then did Baobao Ling realize that someone else had only been fooled once, so how could he foolishly be fooled a second time? Scalp said.
"Cut..." Everyone didn't take Ling Baobao's explanation seriously.
Although they didn't really believe that Mu Hanyan could forge a complete blood and guts sword just by looking at the sword-forging secret book a few times, but didn't they think that it was impossible for Mu Hanyan to forge a sword shape and forge a sword bone? It's a pity that the final result gave everyone a big surprise, and even gave Nie Fangsheng a resounding slap in the face.
They could see that Mu Hanyan's first place in the admissions election was by no means a vain name, and it was no coincidence that he was favored by Gong Hongru and Wenren Qingqiu at the same time. Who would dare to take risks with white money.
"Or, how about paying two for one?" Ling Baobao didn't want to watch the chance of picking money slip through his fingers, so he increased the odds.
Everyone turned their heads away, ignoring him.
"One pays three?" Ling Baobao continued to say, still not giving up.
Unfortunately, no one is still fooled.
