Chapter 175 The Golden Dragon Sword Intention and the Second-grade Swordsmith
The other three-color sword itself is a sword with extremely powerful offensive power.
If it can be completely repaired, its power will naturally be stronger than other treasure swords.
Although the five nodes within it have been damaged and are only disconnected, if you are not careful, the connection between the nodes and the imprint will be broken.
So the requirements for the soul are huge, but they must be minimal.
Zhou Ling continued to use the Five Elements Spiritual Flame, in conjunction with [Spiritual Soul Like a Knife].
Under his control, the spirit flames and souls connected the damaged nodes between the imprints.
"Huhuhu!"
The five elements of spiritual flames rise and shine, accurately covering the imprinted nodes.
“This little guy’s ability to control spiritual flames is so perfect!”
"Such a sophisticated technique is really surprising!"
At the judges' table, several judges were surprised by Zhou Ling's ability to control spirit flames.
For flame control spells of the same level, different monks can display different powers and effects.
Some people have flames like swords and take a fierce route; others have flames like clouds and constantly change shapes.
However, the purity and magical use of flames require extremely precise control.
Only in this way can the best imprint be condensed.
Finally determine the power of the imprinted spiritual weapon.
At this moment, Zhou Ling showed off his amazing fire control skills, which made the judges look at him with awe.
Of course, this time, after all, it has not been long since the assessment started, and many others are still thinking about choosing to destroy the spiritual objects.
Zhou Ling condensed the spirit flames and began to refine them.
Zhou Ling looked focused and had no idea that he had become the focus of the judges.
As for his fire control technique, it is actually just a basic operation for him.
It was only through the precise control of [meticulous] and the solution idea of [intermediate analysis] that he had the best repair plan.
The Five Elements Spiritual Flame has now reached the middle stage of the second level. Under [meticulous] control, it consumes less than a quarter of the flames.
In this way, it is equivalent to doubling the power of the spiritual flames.
Therefore, Zhou Ling didn't feel anything was wrong. After all, he was participating in the second-level technical mage assessment this time.
None of these opponents is simple.
You must try your best no matter what.
“This three-color sword is really a big pit!”
At this time, Zhou Ling frowned.
As the nodes are gradually repaired, [Intermediate Analysis] resurfaces.
Generally, the repair of treasures is nothing more than material and imprinting.
The most common thing is the damage to the seal.
This three-color sword originally had five broken nodes.
As long as these five damaged nodes are repaired, it will be done.
And with the difficulty of the three-color sword, Zhou Ling was able to score a lot of points in this round.
But at this moment, with the addition of points, it gradually recovered.
Zhou Ling felt a faint sword intent surging on the three-color sword.
Through [Intermediate Analysis], Zhou Ling quickly discovered that it contained an unparalleled sharp metallic sword intent.
This is just like when he built and refined the Thunder Sword for He Zijian.
The weapon refiner who refined this three-color sword incorporated a sword stone during the refining process.
This will undoubtedly increase the difficulty.
Whether you can condense this sword intention again, you have to try it yourself.
“This is the second-grade assessment, but the difficulty is completely different.”
Seeing this, Zhou Ling narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly thought about how to deal with it.
It is also possible to directly repair the nodes and give up the related fusion of the sword stone, but in this case, the power of the three-color sword will undoubtedly be inferior.
It’s hard to say whether he can get a top grade.
I can only find a way to figure out this sword intention.
With the emergence of [Intermediate Observation], Zhou Ling quickly discovered the existence of this sword intent.
The original three-color inscription was damaged, leaving no trace of this sword intent. As the inscription nodes were repaired, it gradually condensed.
Zhou Ling quickly locked onto the three-color sword stone of this sword intention.
Sacred consciousness is injected into it, and in order to reunite this metallic sword intention with the imprint, it needs to be suppressed.
Zhou Ling feels that this sword intention may be the most critical assessment point.
[You are observing the three-color sword stone, Intermediate Observation +1, Golden Dragon Sword Intent +3]
[You are performing the Golden Dragon Sword Intent, performing fantasy simulation +1, Golden Dragon Sword Intent + 3, Soul +3】
At this time, a prompt appears on the panel.
The scene in front of Zhou Ling changed accordingly.
The three-color sword that was still in a state of repair suddenly bloomed with golden sword light, blooming with a blazing golden glow.
“Fortunately, it’s just the sword intent of the Xiaocheng realm.”
Zhou Ling murmured.
The next moment, the three-color sword flew into the air, the sword energy roared, and wisps of golden sword light shot out.
For a moment, the golden sword light filled the void, like a ferocious roaring sword dragon.
Each stegosaurus has a different shape and looks extremely sharp.
Zhou Ling felt like he was enveloped by an extremely sharp sword intent.
In the sea of consciousness, there seemed to be a sudden enlightenment, and the same golden sword light emerged one after another.
During the circulation of the sword veins of the Five Elements Sword, the golden sword light suddenly exploded, making it difficult for people to look directly at it.
Threads of golden sword light surround the body, gradually condensing into a golden sword dragon.
Originally, Zhou Ling only condensed the Five Elements Sword Intent into the Melting Furnace Sword Intent, but now he naturally understood the Metal Sword Intent.
Zhou Ling understood it carefully.
The Golden Dragon Sword Intention can condense two forms of Sword Intent.
One is the Stegory Dragon Protective Sword Qi, and the other is Stegory Dragon Slash, which has powerful lethality.
Zhou Ling had a look of joy on his face. He did not expect that he would understand the metallic sword intention by such a coincidence.
Nowadays, with the improvement of [Deduction Fantasy Simulation], the simulation effects are getting better and better.
If I had practiced hard on my own, I might not have been able to achieve such results even last year.
[You are observing the Golden Dragon Sword Intention, Intermediate Observation +1, Golden Dragon Sword Intent +3]
[You are analyzing the Golden Dragon Sword Intention, Intermediate Analysis +1, Golden Dragon Sword Intent +3]
As the Golden Sword Dragon continues to appear in his mind, Zhou Ling's understanding continues to deepen.
However, it is still in the assessment competition at this moment.
Zhou Ling did not dare to consume too much soul. After comprehending the meaning of the Golden Dragon Sword, his soul withdrew from the [Illusion Simulation].
Zhou Ling felt it for a while and found that his sea consciousness was still sufficient.
Now, he understood the golden dragon sword intention contained in the three-color sword, and it was much easier to combine the imprint and the sword stone.
It is connected to the imprint node internally and the sword stone externally.
After a while, the golden sword energy of the three-color sword continued to emerge, like golden rings surrounding Zhou Ling's body.
“Swordsmith!”
At this moment, Qin Zhizheng and other judges who were paying attention to Zhou Ling all exclaimed in surprise.
The swordsmith is a relatively independent existence among the weapon refiners.
Although sword refining is also a category in weapon refining.
But not all weapon refiners can be called swordsmiths.
Only those who can refine a sword that contains the meaning of the sword are qualified to be called swordsmiths.
"What Hu Jiaoxi said is true, this boy is indeed a talent that can be made, no, he is simply a genius!"
Qin Zhizheng couldn't help but praise him repeatedly.
At this moment, the talent Zhou Ling showed was enough to make up for his lack of low-grade spiritual roots.
“I have never been taught how to make a sword.”
Looking at Zhou Ling on the competition stage, Hu Jiaoxi was also quite surprised, because he was not a swordsmith either.
It is naturally impossible to teach Zhou Ling how to make swords.
"Could this little guy be able to master the art of sword-making on his own?"
Qin Zhizheng smiled in amazement.
If Zhou Ling can refine a spiritual sword that contains sword intent, then no matter what, he must be allowed to join the Tiangong Division.
Tiangong Division does not lack second-grade weapon refiners, but swordsmiths are completely different. Among the one hundred second-grade weapon refiners, there may not be even one swordsmith.
······．
Mid-December is already the snowy season.
But the entire Xuanyuan Taoist Temple was enveloped by a magic circle, and the square was as warm as spring.
On the second-grade assessment stage, many magicians were still thinking about which spiritual object to choose for repair.
It has been half an hour since the exam started, and there are still many magicians who have not started yet.
Some have not found any damage to the spiritual objects.
Just like Zhou Ling's three treasures, the spirit sword, the alchemy furnace, and the ancient clock.
After a little analysis, you will understand that the difficulty is gradually decreasing.
But this requires the magician to consume a lot of spiritual consciousness and time to distinguish.
This level alone has stumped many people.
Some even fail to discover the problem in the end.
As for finding the problem, it will also lead to a large consumption of spiritual consciousness.
“Whoosh!”
In each light mask, some magicians have begun to condense flames, and some have begun to draw runes.
Start to show their abilities.
This kind of assessment is related to the future path, and no one will relax at all.
Zhou Ling carefully condensed a furnace sword energy, like a furnace, covering the golden dragon sword energy and suppressing it.
“Whoosh!”
The golden dragon sword energy roared and rose, with an astonishing momentum.
However, after a while, it was suppressed by the flame sword furnace and gradually calmed down.
"Now that the Golden Dragon Sword Intent has been suppressed, it is enough to connect it with the imprint."
Zhou Ling began to connect the repaired inscription with the sword intent.
The Golden Dragon Sword Intent is extremely sharp. Without the Sword Intent of the Furnace to suppress it, it would be difficult to connect it with the imprint.
It cannot be completely integrated into the spirit sword.
In this process, not only the spiritual flames, divine consciousness, but also sword intent cannot make any mistakes.
This is what differentiates swordsmiths from other weapon refiners.
Once there is a problem in any link, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
After burning the incense, the golden dragon sword intention and the three-color imprint were successfully connected, and the three-color sword seemed to rise into the sky with a burst of dragon roar.
“It’s finally done, phew!”
Zhou Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Connecting the sword intention with the imprint is the most difficult thing, so you can’t be careless at all.
But as long as it succeeds, the power of this spiritual sword will be doubled.
The level is much better than the same level of spiritual swords.
At this time, the three-color sword alternates with black, white, and gold. The three-color imprints within it not only make up for all the nodes, but even the power of the original sword stone is a bit stronger.
The sword energy released has an unparalleled aura.
“Yes, with the Golden Dragon Sword Intent, the power of this three-color sword will be at least doubled.”
Zhou Ling murmured, a smile appearing in his eyes.
For this round, he feels that there will definitely be no problem among the top six today.
When the three-color sword exploded with light, the light rose into the sky, and everyone in the square noticed this scene.
“Huh? What a sharp sword spirit!”
“What’s going on? Someone repaired the spirit sword so quickly?”
"Such sword aura contains sword intention. Only a second-level swordsmith can do it!"
"The golden sword intention is really terrifying?"
"What? A second-level sword contains sword" His spiritual sword? So fast?"
"Who is that?"
"It's actually the eighth-level qi-training disciple of the Taoist Academy!
In the square, all the disciples were talking a lot.
There is no way not to pay attention. At this moment, Zhou Ling successfully repaired the spirit sword, and the sword energy was brilliant and extremely conspicuous, enough to attract the attention of the whole audience. It was difficult not to see it.
On the first-grade assessment stage, Liu Yu, Ye Zhilan and Wang Qian all had expressions of disbelief at this time.
Because they also know something about Zhou Ling.
Originally, even though Zhou Ling showed great talent, in their view, low-grade spiritual roots were destined not to go far and could not be compared with them.
As they practice in the Taoist Academy, they will soon surpass Zhou Ling.
But at this moment, with the three-color sword light surging.
Judging from the effect of this spiritual sword alone, not only has Zhou Ling not been pulled down, but he has surpassed them by a lot.
Although the spiritual objects in their hands are also second-order, they are only second-order low-grade.
Although they also started to repair, the speed was not that fast.
This meeting is just about ready to start.
“I just saw the damage to the spiritual weapon imprint, and he has already repaired the second-level mid-grade three-color sword?”
A trace of surprise flashed in Liu Yu’s eyes color.
“How is this possible!”
Ye Zhilan frowned. How could Zhou Ling make such rapid progress in just over three months?
With the qualifications of the three of them, they were definitely the leaders in this class of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy.
But now, Zhou Ling was outnumbered.
And this gap, not only has not narrowed over time, but has become larger and larger.
This made the three of them unbelievable.
“Restore first.”
On the jade platform, Zhou Ling placed the three-color swords, took out the pill bottle, and drank the Soul Yuan Pill and the Heqi Pill.
Then, sit cross-legged and meditate, refining and absorbing the power of the medicine.
This was also the advantage he gained by quickly starting to repair the three-color sword.
The current progress is an hour faster than others.
Plenty of time to recover.
[You are running the "Qing Hui Soul Nourishment Technique", recovery as before +1, soul +2]
[You are absorbing Soul Yuan Dan, elixir stress +1, Soul Yuan Dan medicinal power +2]
[You are absorbing Heqi Pill, elixir stress +1, Heqi Pill power +2]
[You are recovering consciousness and spiritual power, recovery as before +1, soul +3 , spiritual power +3]
[You are absorbing spiritual power, spiritual power affinity +1, five elements spiritual power +4]
As the power of the medicine dissolves in the body, it surges through Zhou Ling's meridians like a river of spiritual energy.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the spiritual power and consciousness in Zhou Ling's body were restored.
But Zhou Ling is not in a hurry, there is plenty of time for him now.
After continuing to recover for a while, Zhou Ling opened the second assessment storage bag.
Now, only a little over an hour has passed.
"Second-level mid-level thunderwood sword, second-level mid-level mysterious robe!"
As his spiritual consciousness swept over, Zhou Ling murmured.
There are two instruments in the storage bag, namely the thunderwood sword and the mysterious robe.
This is the instrument for the second round of assessment.
Choose one of the two!
"At present, I have mastered the thunder attribute sword intention, and refining the thunderwood sword is obviously more advantageous."
"The second-level mysterious robe requires refining multiple imprints, which consumes a lot of money, and there will be no obvious Advantages!”
Taking out the two utensils from the storage bag, Zhou Ling thought quickly in his mind.
Although his current soul cultivation is not low, refining the soul imprint is also a good choice.
But this is a second-grade Taoist test, and the opponents are basically foundation-building monks, and their advantages in soul cultivation are not obvious.
"Then let's refine the thunderwood sword!"
Zhou Ling thought to himself.
The Spirit Sword is originally the most powerful treasure among treasures.
And this is also a thunder attribute. As long as it is refined, the power will be even stronger.
Although it is not easy, it is the most suitable choice for me.
Moreover, I had previously refined the Thunder Sword, so it became even easier to refine.
