Although Nangong Qianrou is a woman, she has not liked female celebrities since she was a child. Instead, she prefers martial arts training and weapon forging. She has been studying weapon refining since she was a child.
Although she had previously said that she was just a mortal weapon master, in fact, she had already had the ability to forge spiritual weapons and had reached the level of a spiritual weapon master; however, to forge spiritual weapons, she also needed to carve spiritual patterns, and she
I'm not familiar with spiritual patterns yet.
Therefore, she is quite confident in her attainments in weapon refining; especially among mortal weapon masters, she is definitely one of the best.
But he never expected that he was still a beat behind Ye Wushuang!
"Finally succeeded..."
Ye Wushuang smiled faintly at this moment and said: "Although it is a little slow, considering that you are a woman, it is already pretty good."
"Okay, as required, next, it's time to test the strength of the weapons, right?"
"Um!"
Nangong Qianrou nodded slightly, without saying much, she directly activated her spiritual energy and immersed herself in the long sword.
In an instant, a sword roared, brilliance rose, and a burst of bright sword light spread out.
The corners of Ye Wushuang's lips curled up, and Nangong Qianrou and Nangong Qianrou stepped out at the same time, swinging their swords to collide.
Clang...
Suddenly, there was a clear and harsh sound of metal collision, and a sharp wind swept out, causing everyone's cheeks to hurt and they staggered back.
Miso miso miso...
On the high platform, the two figures separated as soon as they touched each other and retreated.
Ye Wushuang's expression remained unchanged and he smiled calmly: "You lose!"
Lost?
As soon as these words came out, everyone was startled and instantly in an uproar.
There were no strange changes in the fight between the two; the long swords forged in each hand were also intact.
Nangong Qianrou, why did you lose?
"Nonsense!"
General Tanlang, who was born in the military camp, immediately showed his straightforward temper, and was the first to question: "The two swords collided, and neither broke. Your Highness, why did you lose?"
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang glanced at General Tanlang as if he were an idiot.
"I did lose!"
At this moment, Nangong Qianrou raised her head slightly, her pretty face flushed, and she smiled bitterly with a somewhat lonely expression, and said: "The two swords just collided, although neither of them was broken; but in fact, all the internal markings on the long sword in my hand have been broken.
Destroyed."
"If the materials used to forge this sword were not of the highest quality, this long sword would have been broken by every inch."
"But even so, this sword can no longer withstand the blessing of spiritual energy and has completely become an ordinary weapon!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone questioning in the audience changed slightly and they were shocked.
Destroyed the weapon pattern while keeping the sword intact?
This... is simply unbelievable!
"Young Master Ye, you are so talented and beautiful, Qianrou is willing to be inferior to you!"
Nangong Qianrou's mood at this moment has calmed down a lot. She bowed slightly towards Ye Wushuang with an elegant posture and said with a smile: "However, although Qianrou has admitted defeat, if we really talk about it, this competition is about the toughness of the sword.
It's still hard to decide the outcome; Mr. Ye is just a little better than Qianrou in seal carving patterns."
"Yeah?"
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang shook his head slightly; without saying a word, he walked directly to Nangong Qianrou, moved his fingertips slightly, and flicked the long sword with a ding.
Suddenly, there was a cracking sound, and the long sword in Nangong Qianrou's hand was broken inch by inch.
"this..."
Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience was shocked and dumbfounded.
"The long sword you refined is not just as simple as the weapon pattern being destroyed!"
At this moment, Ye Wushuang said slowly: "Although the four steps of refining a weapon seem simple, in fact, each step is extremely important and is the core, and must not be tampered with at will."
"But you, because of the fear in your heart, asked for a test of toughness and wanted to use your strengths and avoid your weaknesses."
"But it is precisely because of this that during the refining process, you subconsciously focused all your attention on the seal carving of the weapon pattern, preparing to expand the sword's ability to withstand spiritual energy and make it harder. Instead, you ignored the true nature of the weapon pattern.
The meaning is to stabilize the body."
"You care too much about winning or losing. It would be weird if you don't lose!"
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Qianrou's cheeks that had just calmed down suddenly became flushed again, and her whole person was stunned.
Ye Wushuang's words hit the nail on the head and hit the point!
In the previous competition, Ye Wushuang's attainments in martial arts, formations, and alchemy were all so amazing that she even started to feel intimidated even before the competition started.
Therefore, before the competition, she proposed to determine victory or defeat based on the degree of toughness; she wanted to use her strengths and avoid weaknesses, take the wrong approach, and catch Ye Wushuang off guard.
But she never thought that it was precisely because of her fear and fear of failure that she neglected the most important thing in refining a weapon, which was actually maintaining balance.
Especially as the weapon pattern that maintains the stability of the weapon, it needs to be carved according to the materials used for forging, the shape, size, and thickness of the long sword to ensure the balance of the weapon to the greatest extent.
In this way, the refined weapons can be made stronger, sharper, and more perfect to the greatest extent!
"Been taught a lesson!"
Slowly, Nangong Qianrou's expression returned to normal, and she bowed respectfully to Ye Wushuang.
Not to mention the outcome of this competition, just from these words, it can be seen that Ye Wushuang's accomplishments in weapon refining have already surpassed her!
"Easy to say!"
Ye Wushuang smiled faintly, turned around and stretched out his hand towards the layman Nanhua, saying: "Hand over the Heavenly Star Divine Fruit!"
The beautiful woman Nanhua layman, her face changed slightly, she looked at Nangong Qianrou, then glanced at the broken long sword, sighed unwillingly, and handed over the Heavenly Star Divine Fruit.
Taking the Tianxing Divine Fruit, Ye Wushuang put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed the aroma. The corner of his mouth suddenly twisted into a smile of satisfaction.
With this thing, it will be much easier for Ye Wenfeng, Ye Wufeng, Liu Qingcheng, Lin Ruoer, and even Li Dawen to enter the martial arts.
It's a pity that there is only one Sky Star Fruit this time, and he really doesn't know who he should give it to!
"Seeing that you are quite pleasing to the eye, I will give you a few pointers."
While smelling the aroma of the Heavenly Star Divine Fruit, Ye Wushuang said to Nangong Qianrou: "Refining weapons to reach the highest level is actually about refining the heart. Only when humans and weapons are combined into one can the best weapons be made!"
"You are indeed good at refining weapons, but your state of mind when refining weapons is too bad. Fortunately, you are still young now. If you practice more in the future, you can hope to go further."
"otherwise..."
Ye Wushuang did not say the last words, but smacked his tongue twice, put away the Star Fruit, glanced at Chu Xiaoao, said nothing, turned around and left with Lin Ruoer and Liu Qingcheng.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Chu, I didn't expect that there are such talents in your country. They can combine martial arts, alchemy, weapon refining, and formations into one, and they are proficient in all of them. It is simply amazing."
Prince An of the Beiming Empire said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone: "If you had taken this person out earlier, why would you waste so much time in today's competition?"
"good!"
General Tanlang of the Dongyue Empire also said unconvinced at this moment: "It's still a small thing to waste time, but now it seems that our four empires are asking for a slap in the face. It's really too much!"
"Ha ha..."
Chu Xiaoao was in a good mood at the moment, laughing and saying: "You guys have misunderstood me."
"As I said before, Mr. Ye is a distinguished guest of our Chu royal family. It is extremely rare to be able to invite him here today. And if you want him to take action, even I will find it difficult to do it!"
"Everyone, the competition is over now; I think you can't take this Feather King Spear with you this time. Just try the fine wine and delicacies of our Cangyun Empire!"
After the words fell, Chu Xiaoao was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly waved his hand.
Immediately, one palace maid brought wine and food, and several dancers performed on the stage.
But how can the people of the four empires still be in the mood to drink and have fun at this moment?
All of them looked ugly and livid, and all kinds of delicacies tasted like chewing wax in their mouths.
Especially Ming Che, who was the instigator, his face was as dark as water and his eyes were filled with anger.
Originally, the four empires won brilliantly and with great power; but because of him, he chose to provoke Ye Wushuang, which resulted in all previous efforts being wasted and all the four empires suffered huge losses and humiliation.
Even though people from the other three empires didn't say much, Mingche knew very well that when they returned to their respective countries, they would definitely blame all their problems on him.
By then, not to mention that the three major empires will not let him go; even his father, Emperor Beiming, will never let him go easily!
Fortunately, today is not without gain.
Although the four empires suffered losses because of him, it proved that the relationship between Ye Wushuang and the Chu royal family was worthwhile.
After all, for the four empires, it would not be a good thing if Ye Wushuang really had a close relationship with the Chu royal family.
"Ye Wushuang..."
Ming Che gritted his teeth at this moment and said something viciously to himself, his brows filled with murderous intent.
"Sooner or later, I will kill you with my own hands!"
