Steam was steaming in the small iron workshop, accompanied by the sound of regular hammering. Yi Yun stared at the stove with an extremely focused expression, and kept repeating the action of hammering the iron, with a faint fiery red halo covering his body.
, flowing down the right hand hammer, with each strike, fighting spirit was slowly injected into the materials being refined in the furnace. After more than two hours, the beating sound suddenly stopped.
"Finally... I finally succeeded in refining this second-grade peak magic weapon this time!" Yi Yun put the newly forged weapon into a bucket to cool down. When he took it out, he immediately exclaimed with joy.
Monroe also came over at this time, squatted down and looked at it carefully. After a while, he smiled and said: "This second-grade peak magic weapon has passed the test! After such a long time, you can finally refine a decent second-grade magic weapon.
The top magic soldiers are out."
Ten days have passed since the last in-depth conversation with Edotu.
In the past ten days, he has not stepped outside the iron workshop. He has been hammering iron and refining weapons all day long. If he is tired, he will sit down and condense and replenish his fighting energy. Forging magic weapons will continue to consume the fighting energy in his body.
He can also use this job to practice fighting spirit. This method of cultivating fighting spirit by forging magic weapons is a unique skill of the Start lineage.
During this period of time, he destroyed a total of sixty-two amethyst mines, and the refining of the magic weapon also failed sixty-two times. It was only today that he successfully created this second-grade peak magic weapon without any flaws.
Soldiers come out.
Yi Yun exhaled heavily and said with a smile: "It's really not easy to satisfy you, boss! Now, I can finally have a magic weapon in my hand."
After rolling his eyes at Yi Yun, Menluo sighed and said: "Oh, do you only have this much ambition? With your current five-star mid-level Dou Qi strength, it is already enough to refine a third-level primary magic weapon, but what about your weapon refining skills?"
If you don’t have good kung fu, you’re just a second-grade peak player, and you’re going to be a loser?”
Yi Yun smiled bitterly after hearing this: "Of course I won't be satisfied just like this! It took only ten days to successfully refine this magic weapon. This proves that the hard work during this period was not in vain, more than sixty times in a row
The failure only made me one step closer to my goal... Next time, I am confident that it will only take five days to refine an identical second-grade peak magic weapon, and then the third-grade magic weapon will not be far away.
Got it!"
After hearing this, Monroe was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "You have the right mentality, but I was too impatient! Everything must be done step by step and slowly. Being too ambitious is just unrealistic. Set a higher goal."
If you walk steadily, you will always reach your destination."
Turning to look at the high pile of scrap amethyst ore at the edge of the corner, Yi Yun said: "After more than sixty refining attempts, I have only succeeded in one. The chance is too low. There is still a long way to go.
Woolen cloth!"
After saying that, he put the demon soldiers into the red lotus, Yi Yun changed into a pair of black and stained clothes, opened the door and walked out of the iron workshop.
Monroe asked: "Where are you going now?"
Yi Yun smiled and said, "I promised Teacher Minuo that I would go back to the Demonic Martial Arts Array to practice magic every few days. It has been ten days now, so why not go back? These days I have just been doing blacksmithing and practicing.
Fighting, I also want to change my mood."
An hour later, Yi Yun arrived at the dean's office of Tianfeng Academy, but could not find Minuo. He heard from his secretary that dean Minuo had gone on a far journey, so he had to go to the magic martial arts formation alone.
Holding the pass token that Mino gave him, he quickly passed through the two iron gates. The guarding students looked very surprised that Yi Yun could hold a token that only the dean had, but they did not dare to ask any questions immediately.
If they were released, Yi Yun would of course not explain anything to them.
Arriving at the center of the magic martial arts formation, Qiuqiu suddenly jumped out and volunteered to be Yi Yun's imaginary opponent, giving him a clear target for his magic attacks. He was able to know the timing, method, weight, and coordination of the two types of magic.
You can have a deeper experience than blasting into the empty void.
Since discovering that Qiuqiu has a constitution that is immune to magic, Qiuqiu will independently become Yi Yun's training target as long as Mino is not watching from the sidelines. There is a clear imaginary opponent for Yi Yun's control over magic.
It is also more accurate.
This is also one of the main reasons why Yi Yun was able to completely master the dual use of magic at the same time in just twenty days.
Qiuqiu is stronger than him and is not afraid of any magic attacks. He can be said to be the one who can steadily defeat all the mages on the continent. Therefore, he can safely use his full strength and launch magic attacks as he pleases, every attack.
, Qiuqiu can always dissolve and absorb easily, just like experiencing a real battle. Such a sparring opponent is rare, much like facing the six-star strong Buck that day.
You can practice slowly behind closed doors, but you will make the fastest progress in battle!
Maybe Qiuqiu himself didn't realize how much this move for the purpose of fun would help Yi Yun's growth in magical power.
Magical martial arts training is a very lonely process, and hard work is just the basics. Even if there is a breakthrough in star level and a substantial increase in strength, the most important thing is to see how much true strength you can display in actual combat.
The essence of magic and fighting spirit is fighting!
Only in real battles can the magical strength be greatly improved, which is far from being comparable to closed-door training methods. Menluo has told Yi Yun more than once that only those who survive the battle of blood and fire can
Only people are qualified to become truly strong. Others can only be second-rate goods. This is the truth.
The existence of Qiuqiu, with a physique that is completely immune to attribute magic, is just like having a peerless strong man who cannot be killed or injured as Yi Yun's sparring opponent. It is equivalent to the baptism of real battles one after another, and every magic cast.
, every time he saw the process of Qiuqiu resolving magical attacks, Yi Yun gained a deeper understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of his own magic.
This is a deep understanding of one's own strength and a true understanding of the essence of magic.
In the cultivation of fighting spirit, he has Munro; in the cultivation of magic, he has Mino, and now he has a unique existence like Qiuqiu. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to obtain one of these masters and good companions, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to obtain one of them.
But he has three of them at the same time. His extraordinary encounters are rare in history. Monroe often shakes his head and sighs: Goddess Luck is such a nymphomaniac. There should be a limit to how she can cheat on men, right?
On this day, Yi Yun was too immersed in practicing in the magic martial arts formation. He didn't drain all his magic power until late at night. He collapsed panting, and then fell asleep in the magic formation. When he woke up, it was already the second time.
It's noon on the day.
"The time of practicing goes by so fast. In just a blink of an eye, it's late at night, and as soon as I fall asleep, it's dark the next day. The day has passed so easily." Yi Yun murmured.
Monroe appeared next to him and said with a smile: "Everyone's time is the same. Some people think a day is long because they have nothing to do. Some people think it is short because they can make full use of it. You are obviously the latter.
, although your time is short, there will be more wonderful things."
After coming to the bank of Green Willow Lake to wash up, Yi Yun immediately walked out of the back mountain. Just as he was about to leave the college, a woman saw him from a distance and immediately ran over excitedly. It turned out to be Nicole, whom he had not seen for a long time.
When Nicole saw Yi Yun, she shouted in a reproachful tone: "Yi Yun, you little brat, I heard my uncle said that it's been a month since you came back, why haven't you come to me yet?"
Yi Yun had not seen Nicole for more than ten months. When he looked at her now, she was dressed in light yellow, which perfectly complemented her neat short golden hair. She seemed to be a little taller, and yes, her breasts were also a little higher.
, although her face had a slightly angry expression, her cheeks were slightly red, obviously seeing Yi Yun surprise her, like a newly ripe fruit, sweet and fragrant, gorgeous and dazzling.
Yi Yun looked at Nicole quietly for a while, then he smiled and said, "I was always busier when I first came back, haven't I seen you now?"
Nicole rolled her eyes at Yi Yun, then smiled sweetly and said: "At first, I was worried that you would be expelled from the college. Many teachers said so and were very dissatisfied with you, and there was a new student like you.
Fortunately, Dean Mino stood alone against the expulsion comments of many teachers and was willing to give you a chance. Don’t miss classes again. You won’t be so lucky next time!”
Yi Yun felt warm in his heart when he heard this. He and Nicole had only met each other a few times, and they couldn't say they had a deep friendship, but her straightforward and slightly caring words always made him feel warm...
No pretense, no pretense, words and deeds all come from her heart, this is Nicole's advantage!
"Do you remember Su Li? She was also thinking about you and kept complaining, why didn't you come back to say hello? Before you left, the two of us had to send you out of the academy gate. How could you
How can you forget it so easily? The little devil is unkind and unjust now, but in the future, he will definitely be a scourge to the world because of his unkindness and unkindness." Nicole said with a smile.
Yi Yun sweated profusely as he listened. Is he unjust? Is he unjust? Is he still a scourge in the world... They are all shameful sins. How come they are all pinned on him?
Monroe laughed in his heart at this time and said: "This little girl is interesting! She even used words of betrayal and forgetfulness. It seems that she is saying this to the man who abandoned her, right? I would rather offend a villain than to
Offend a woman! Boy, now you have learned, hahaha."
Yi Yun was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of a sword-like weapon on Nicole's body. The sword was hidden in the scabbard but had not been unsheathed. However, a vague fire element was flowing faintly inside it. He
At a glance, he recognized that this was the second-grade mid-level magic weapon he had refined.
Seeing that Yi Yun was silent, Nicole followed his gaze and turned around to see the weapon she carried with her. She said happily: "Little Guitou, have you also noticed this magic weapon? You have a pretty good eye!"
Yi Yun nodded and said, "Eduotu mentioned this to me. This should be a second-level demon soldier."
Edotu had not mentioned Yi Yun's sale of the magic weapon to the Genos family to anyone except the top brass of the Genos family, including of course Nicole.
Nicole only knew that Yi Yun's hobby was blacksmithing, and that he was a "stuck blacksmith" who could only make scrap metal. No matter how rich her imagination was, she would never have imagined that he had the rare ability to forge magic weapons and was using her hands
The second-grade mid-level magic weapon on the list was also forged by Yi Yun himself. Not to mention her, even Edotu and Genos family patriarch Jiou would not have thought of it.
When Nicole talked about the magic weapon, her cheeks turned red and she said very excitedly: "Yes, this is the legendary magic weapon! I heard that the patriarch gave it to his uncle after he was promoted to the deputy elder of the family.
Congratulations, I never thought I could really own a magic weapon. Not only are all my classmates envious, but even the teachers in the college are jealous!"
At this time, Yi Yun suddenly noticed an abnormal magic power coming from the scabbard. It was not a wave that the magic weapon itself could produce. He was stunned. This magic weapon was forged by him himself.
It was impossible for such a strange energy reaction to occur. He stretched out his hand to take the magic weapon from Nicole's hand and half-pulled it out of its sheath. However, he saw on the originally smooth sword body that there was actually a person refining in the middle of the sword body.
A very small circular magic circle that did not exist at the beginning of its creation is attached to it, and the strange magic wave is emitted by this magic circle.
"Origin contract!" Yi Yun was shocked and blurted out.
In the contract of origin, there is an introduction to this magic circle in the magic circle book volume obtained in the ancient pool valley.
The Contract of Origin is a small magic circle at the seven-star level. As long as the magic circle is imprinted on an item, the caster can sense the movement of the item with the magic circle imprinted on it within a hundred miles. It is usually used for protection.
Important items are protected from theft.
It also has a characteristic that once the magic circle is imprinted, it can last for more than ten years. Once this period of time expires, the spell must be cast again. Moreover, this magic circle is difficult to remove except for the caster. If anyone else
To forcibly break it, only one with a strength one star higher than the caster himself can do it.
In the major colleges and universities of the Qiwu Empire, there is a rule to protect their students. As long as the students themselves possess first-class intermediate-level magic weapons or above, they can have this original contract imprinted by the senior teachers of the Seven-Star Magic Lord in the college.
While the student was still studying in the academy, the magic weapon in his hand was protected by the entire academy. If someone forcibly killed someone to seize the treasure, there was absolutely no way he could escape afterwards, because this would be equivalent to immediately declaring war on the entire academy.
Be an enemy.
In any institution of higher learning, not only will all the teachers have at least six stars or above in the field, but there are also nearly ten senior teachers with seven stars or above, and the major colleges will also help each other. Such a huge force
The power even exceeds the combined strength of all the aristocratic families in the empire. To fight against it is to seek death.
Therefore, even if the magic weapon is rare and makes people jealous, no one will dare to take advantage of the students of the higher college. Although the contract of origin is known as a hundred-mile tracking, with the strength of the caster, this range will also
It increases accordingly, and the distance of a hundred miles is just basic. As long as the students do not leave the academy too far, even if an outsider does snatch it, they will not escape the sensing range of the original contract with their lives.
Nicole could see that Yi Yun was staring at the magic circle on the sword, and he laughed and said, "You see it too, little devil? This magic circle was branded on me by Dean Mino himself."
Yi Yun was startled when he heard this!
Just listen to Nicole continue to say: "Because this is a second-grade intermediate magic weapon. Even the senior teachers in the academy don't have many of this grade. It can be said to be a top-grade magic weapon. Therefore, it is made by Mino Academy."
The chief himself has come to apply the brand."
The origin contract cast by Mino himself is probably hundreds of miles away, and if you want to break this magic circle, you will have to be a strong person in the star field... No wonder Nicole dares to
Take it out so generously and walk around.
Yi Yun put the magic weapon back into the scabbard, handed it back to Nicole, thought for a moment and said, "It's okay for you to carry this magic weapon in the academy, but if you have to go on a long trip, before your strength has improved,
But you must not take it with you anymore. There are many desperadoes on the mainland, and they are all madmen who want treasures rather than their lives. There is no need to attract such trouble."
"Haha, little devil, you also care about others. Don't worry, my uncle and teachers have told me so clearly."
Nicole said happily, and unconsciously pulled Yi Yun to talk. The two looked quite intimate. A young man and woman having such intimate behavior in broad daylight immediately aroused curiosity and even jealousy from the surrounding students.
gaze.
Although Nicole's personality is straightforward and has a boldness unique to men, and is not gentle and pleasant, she is beautiful in appearance, open-minded and happy to interact with others. She is loved by many male classmates in the college, and Su Li
Likewise, she is one of the few beauties in Tianfeng Academy.
Moreover, because Nicole and Su Li were both students of the Military Department and had a very good relationship and often walked together, they were nicknamed the "Two Beauties of the Military Department". There were so many male students interested in pursuing them that they could form an army of ten thousand people.
The army is here.
Nicole was unaware of anything, but Yi Yun noticed the sharp glances coming from around him. Most of them were full of hostility, and they were all aimed at him. With a slight glance, he immediately understood.
He coughed lightly and immediately took a step back.
Nicole is so pretty, there must be many suitors, and he doesn't want to get angry!
"By the way," Nicole, of course not knowing what Yi Yun was thinking, said suddenly, "Yi Yun, you should be a four-star peak disciple now. Do you want to participate in the academy's competition assessment?"
It had been too long since she had seen Yi Yun, so her judgment of Yi Yun's strength was still at the same level as ten months ago.
"Academy competition? What is that?" Yi Yun asked, obviously having never heard of it.
Nicole could see that Yi Yun really didn't know, so she sighed and said, "This matter has become a big issue in our college, and you still don't know about it? Alas, that's why I told you not to miss classes anymore... It's just that after a series of selection and assessment, in each
Star positions, that is, four-star, five-star, and six-star fields, select the ten strongest students from each to participate in the Qiwu Demon Fighting Conference."
"Qiwu Demon Fighting Conference?" Yi Yun asked curiously.
Nicole was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yi Yun's puzzled face, and then said in surprise: "You don't know about this? As long as no one in the Shenqiwu Empire doesn't know about it, even a three-year-old child should have heard about it.
Ah, did you really live in the deep mountains and wild forests before?"
Just after saying this, Nicole suddenly remembered Yi Yun's savage appearance when she first saw him, her cheeks turned red again, and she was even more sure of her judgment.
After a pause, Nicole continued: "The Qiwu Magic Competition is a college magic competition held only once every ten years by the empire. It allows all colleges and universities to select the strongest students in the three star fields to participate in the competition.
, if you can enter the final top ten, not only will the college you belong to be glorious, but you will also get a very good reward."
"In addition, the conference will finally determine the ranking of all colleges in the empire in the next ten years based on the results of each major college's ranking in the top ten. Therefore, all the teachers in our college are very concerned about this time.
In the academy selection, be sure to select the strongest students to compete."
The Qiwu Demon Fighting Tournament can be said to be the "ten-year plan" of all the colleges and universities in the empire. The results of the first battle will determine the college's ranking in the empire in the next ten years. What teachers are fighting for is the face of their own colleges, and students
What we are fighting for is a better way out for our future development. As long as the college's ranking can rise, it will be of countless great benefits to everyone.
The reason why Qiwu Royal Academy is honored as the "First Academy in the Empire" is because in the past three hundred years, Qiwu Academy has been ranked first time and time again.
There is no exception in this Magic Fighting Conference.
Tianfeng College is almost third in the ranking, so the name of "third child" is firmly placed on the top of Tianfeng College, and also on the head of Dean Minuo. It is a pain that Minuo can't let go.
After hearing this, Yi Yun thought for a moment and found that he was not interested at all, so he asked, "Nico, are you planning to participate?"
"Of course! I am now a four-star peak warrior, and I have a good chance of passing the academy's assessment." Nicole said of course.
I remember that when I first met Nicole in the loess wilderness, she was still in the four-star high-level realm. In the past year, Yi Yun had made rapid progress, and she was able to successfully advance to the first level.
At this time, a teacher called Nicole in the distance. Nicole smiled at Yi Yun and said, "That's it for now. My teacher is calling me. He should be talking to me about participating in the college competition.
Regarding the matter, remember to come to the college often for classes, and I will talk to you next time we meet."
After saying that, she immediately turned around and left. Before leaving, she warned Yi Yun: "Little Guitou, if you are fine, you can also try to participate in the academy selection. With your rank of four-star peak disciple, you are already very likely to be selected.
If we have a chance, maybe both of us can represent Tianfeng Academy at the Magic Fighting Conference together."
Yi Yun watched Nicole leave, shook his head, and walked out of the academy.
Monroe smiled and said, "This little girl is quite interesting. The more I look at her, the more I fall in love with her. Yi Yun, do you have any special thoughts about her?"
Yi Yun smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Boss, what do you want to do? Nicole is five or six years older than me."
Shaking his head, Munro said: "The life of a strong man is much longer than that of ordinary people. Hundreds of years of leisurely time are only five or six years. What does it mean? Lovers like sisters also taste different. If
If you are interested in her, don’t let her go!”
Yi Yun sweated profusely as he heard that Munro's thoughts seemed a bit evil...
He shook his head and said: "I still have a lot to do. Relationships are definitely not one of my options now. I will never consider this issue now."
After a while, Monroe said again: "Being the boss, I am too talkative. So, what do you think of the Qiwu Demon Fighting Conference? It sounds very interesting!"
Yi Yun smiled and said: "This conference should only be interested in those students who want to win fame! I am not interested in the rewards of the conference, and I don't plan to be recruited by any aristocratic families in the future, so I won't waste time on it. "
"Moreover, it's just a competition, how can it compare to a killing battle with Warcraft? It's called a competition, but in fact it's just showing off in front of the entire empire. It's so boring!"
"Oh, it sounds reasonable, but I missed such an interesting thing in vain. How could I teach such a young brother? You are too boring!"
"Boss, you are too curious and playful, right?"
"..."
"..."
The two of them argued endlessly along the way and walked back towards Tianfeng City.
