Chapter 56 Military Camp Career
One month later.
In the north of [Shuimu Principality], northeast of "Bold Wind City", there is the Cold Wind Camp.
In the forging area of the military industrial camp, the heat wave soared into the sky, dispelling the endless coldness that roared from the north, causing many sturdy men to go shirtless and wave their forging hammers.
In front of a forging platform, Ling Yi was wearing a cardigan, with his jade-white chest and arms exposed, dripping with glistening sweat. No matter how you looked at it, he looked out of place with the rough men around him.
However, none of the dozen master craftsmen present, whether they were blacksmiths or not, did not dare to underestimate this young man who was young and handsome in appearance like a rich young master.
I saw that Ling Yi’s feet were firmly on the ground, his calves exerted force, and his body turned halfway. The forging hammer in his hand, which was three minutes larger than a human head, swung a standard circle diagonally in mid-air. Shape, hit heavily on a dark red alloy blade on the anvil in front of him.
After the blow, the large forging hammer flew up due to the force of the shock. Ling Yi stepped on the pedal connected to the bellows rod, and his body turned quickly. The forging hammer followed the trend and drew a circle in the air again, bringing it with him. With half a point more force, it hit the alloy blade blade with a stronger red light again.
“Dang! Dang! Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang——!!!”
“Huh——huh——huhuhu——!”
Amidst the explosive, continuous hammering sounds like a violent storm, the howling wind caused by the forging hammer in the air was also heard, telling everyone present how terrifying the force carried by each swing of the hammer was.
But beneath this horror, there is a clear rhythm, a pleasant jingle that makes people listen intuitively, and the image of Ling Yi's body turning like a dance, showing the beauty of masculinity.
More than ten meters away, several sturdy men who were not forging were either standing with their chests crossed, hands on their hips, or hands behind their backs, staring at Ling Yi without looking away. Through every swing of the hammer and every dance of the body.
Looking at it, someone finally couldn't help but speak, and said with a look of displeasure: "I have seen other people perform this "Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique", but no one has done it. , to be able to do this with little brother Ling is amazing..."
"That's right!" The person next to him agreed and said, "Even Master Jin, back then he and Master were still the same. When Master Li Qiang and the three of them competed in forging skills in front of the Grand Duke's palace, the "Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique" he performed was not as smooth as that of Little Brother Ling..."
"Cang bang——!!"
The conversation among several people more than ten meters away did not affect Ling Yi's forging. There was another loud sound. Ling Yi held the forging hammer and spun twice on the spot. Remove the residual momentum from the hammer head.
Then, before the lingering sound of the clashing of gold and iron in his ears dissipated, Ling Yi exhaled loudly, picked up the forging hammer again, and smashed it towards the red alloy blade that had shrunk in size.
“What a pity~”
Looking at the scene here, among the several sturdy men on the other side, some of them smacked their lips, shook their heads and sighed: “Little brother Ling, Master Jin I only learned the thirty-six movements of the "Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique" there, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to perform it over and over again. Although the intervals in between were short, the pauses were pauses, which still had a considerable impact on the quality of the final work. ——”
"Come on~" Hearing this, another person rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Even Master Jin only learned the thirty-six moves in Gengxin City. He just wanted to teach little brother Ling, so he couldn't You don’t have to teach me——”
“Say no more~” The man paused, with admiration in his eyes, and looked at Ling Yi who was about to complete another round of thirty-six hammers as he spoke. , took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Even if there are only thirty-six styles, little brother Ling's forging skills far surpass us!
Among the entire army, in addition to being able to create seven hundred forged soldiers, Brother Shijia, who among you can build a 500-forged sword or three spearheads in less than half a day?
Who among us can’t make a 500-forged sword? It takes more than a day to just temper the materials?”
After this question, several people fell into silence, and the only sounds left in their ears were the continuous knocking sounds in the forging area, and these. Among the uneven knocking sounds, the rhythm is clear, one after another, like the sound of a clear spring. A quarter of an hour later, Ling Yi finally stopped forging and stood on the spot, panting for more than ten times before controlling his breathing and taking a deep breath.
At the same time, do not forget to mobilize the soul power in the body to moisturize the muscles in the calves, lower back, arms, wrists, palms, etc. that are sore, hot, and slightly trembling.
At this moment, several figures approached, arriving before anyone else said: "Brother Ling's "Chaos Cloak Hammering Technique" has become more and more sophisticated. Breaking through the Thousand Forging Skills and becoming a blacksmith master is just around the corner—" —!"
"Thank you, Brother Xue~" Ling Yi looked at the sound, smiled at the visitor, and said modestly: "My skills are still far behind, whether it is strength or different metals. The smelting ratio between the two is a little different..."
"Alas——"
At this point, Ling Yi sighed, shook his head and continued: "Master Blacksmith, if it were so easy, the huge [Shuimu Principality] wouldn't have a fourth place yet -"
"Yeah -!"
After hearing what Ling Yi said, the people who came closer nodded subconsciously, with expressions of regret on their faces. Brother Xue, who had spoken before, sighed. With a cry, he said: "Alas——! Brother Ling, you are lucky. At least you know the direction of your next efforts. We... alas——!"
"Our forging has reached a bottleneck now. No matter how hard you try, you still don’t know~" A person next to him continued: "The secret of the power conversion, whether it is Master Fu or Brother Ling, you have broken it into pieces and told us, but how can our brains? I can’t understand it either..."
Hearing this, several other people nodded in unison, indicating the same thing.
Sometimes, people have to admit that the talent gap between people is really huge and disappointing.
Same thing, some people can reach the peak of the current stage by just doing it, but some people, no matter how hard they work, can't reach the position that is clearly right in front of them.
For example, they can actually reach the level of high-level blacksmiths, and their talents are not bad. In terms of strength, each of them is either a first-level soul master of the eighteenth or ninth level, or a second-level great soul of more than 20 levels. Master, even the most skilled Shi brothers in the military industrial camp, and two powerful fighting spirit masters!
But when it comes to forging, there is always a slight difference in the power they use when using the forging hammer.
And just such a little bit, the result is that the distance between them and the blacksmith is like a natural chasm!
The so-called slightest difference can make a thousand miles difference, nothing more than this.
"Brothers~" Facing the depressed people, Ling Yi smiled and comforted: "It should be noted that no matter how talented you are, if you don't work hard, you will not reach the top of the mountain.
I believe that hard work can make up for weakness. Ninety-nine percent of the sweat and one percent of the flash of inspiration will definitely make us successful.”
Under Ling Yi’s chicken soup words, one by one! The sturdy man showed an expression of realization on his face, and when he looked at Ling Yi, his admiration became even stronger.
But Ling Yi’s chicken soup is not over yet: “Although this flash of inspiration has not appeared yet, I believe that it will definitely appear at some point in the future!
And what we have to do is to have the strength and foundation to seize it at that moment——! ! ! ”
