reax;
Once the brass was completely refined, Fang Chen placed the materials he had prepared beforehand into the brass water, allowing them to completely melt with the water.
After doing all this, Fang Chen followed Gu Zong's method and increased the intensity of the flames, beginning to condense the shape of the weapon.
Condensing the shape of a weapon was a technical job. However, after seeing Gu Zong's refining method, Fang Chen also tried to refine it himself.
For those long-established blacksmiths, condensing the shape of a weapon was an extremely easy task. In their hearts, as long as they wanted to condense a weapon, they could use their flames to do so.
Fang Chen was constantly muttering in his heart that he wanted to refine a longsword.
As time passed, the liquefied brass began to solidify under the heat of the flames, revealing the shape of the weapon bit by bit.
"He can actually condense the shape of a weapon!" Gu Zong was even more shocked when he saw this scene.
People who had never learned how to refine weapons before had only read some introductory blacksmithing books and listened to his explanation, yet they were able to condense the shape of a weapon.
"What a monster." Gu Zong's heart was in turmoil. He realized that Fang Chen couldn't be judged using common sense.
After a quarter of an hour, a longsword lay quietly on the refining table. This longsword's shape was emitting a weak aura.
At this time, it was time to start cultivating the spirit.
Fang Chen activated his red soul and began cultivating the spirit.
However, cultivating the spirit didn't go as smoothly as he had imagined. Halfway through cultivating the spirit, there was a bang and the longsword broke into two. Fang Chen's soul also instantly returned to his mind.
"How did it break?" Fang Chen looked at the broken longsword in confusion.
Gu Zong, who was originally shocked, finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Fang Chen had failed to cultivate the spirit. "It's finally normal."
This was Fang Chen's first time refining a weapon. Not only was he able to perfectly control the flame, but he was also able to condense the shape of a weapon. This was already considered a monstrous genius.
If he had succeeded in cultivating the spirit, then it would have been abnormal.
The good thing was that Fang Chen had failed in spirit cultivation, and the shock of the ancient sect had receded a lot.
"Master, why did I fail?" Fang Chen was still immersed in refining. He raised his head and asked Gu Zong.
Gu Zong coughed dryly and said, "Fang Chen, your talent in refining is the strongest I've ever seen. The reason why you failed to cultivate your spirit is because this is your first time in refining. You'll be fine once you get used to it."
Upon hearing Gu Zong's words, Fang Chen nodded.
In this way, Fang Chen spent the next two days refining weapons like crazy.
Two days later, Fang Chen finally succeeded in refining his first weapon. Holding the long sword in his hand, his face was full of excitement.
"This is the first weapon I've ever forged," Fang Chen said excitedly.
Refining this long sword also meant that Fang Chen had successfully become an Apprentice Blacksmith from an uninitiated blacksmith.
"It won't be long before I become an Apprentice Blacksmith," said Fang Chen confidently.
Today was the day that Gu Zong and the western region's major powers had agreed to meet.
Early in the morning, the mountain peaks in the depths of Xiyun City were filled with people. Countless martial artists had come early in the morning just to see who Gu Zong's disciple was.
When it was close to noon, Gu Zong finally came out of his residence. Following behind him was Fang Chen.
"Look, Grandmaster Gu has come out!"
"Yeah, there's also that little brother behind Grandmaster Gu."
"How come Grandmaster Gu's disciple hasn't come?"
The moment they saw Gu Sect appear, many ancient martial art practitioners cried out excitedly.
Gu Zong stood at the top of the mountain, looking down at the crowd. Then he waved his hand for everyone to quiet down.
In an instant, the noisy mountain peak quieted down.
"Everyone, this old man said three days ago that I will announce my disciple today," said Gu Zong slowly. His words had the majesty of a grandmaster.
"In my life, I will only accept one disciple. He is not only my inner disciple, but also my only disciple," continued Gu Zong.
Hearing Gu Zong's words, countless martial artists were envious of Gu Zong's disciple.
However, Gu Zong's next words made the faces of many disciples filled with anger. Their roars were endless.
"He, Fang Chen, is my only inner disciple." Gu Zong turned around and pointed at Fang Chen.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Chen. When they heard Gu Zong's words, their faces were filled with shock.
"How is it possible? How can he be Grandmaster Gu's disciple?"
"Damn it, he's Grandmaster Gu's disciple. How dare he cheat us of our wealth!"
"This son of a b * tch, how dare he cheat us of our things!"
Countless martialists shouted one after another. They knew that they had been deceived by Fang Chen and wanted to challenge him one after another.
At this moment, they could not care less about Gu Zong.
"Kid, I want to challenge you."
"Kid, how dare you cheat all of us? You're courting death."
"Not only did you cheat us, you even cheated us of so many things."
Hearing the angry roars of the martial artists, Gu Zong's face revealed a strange smile. It seemed like he did not want to get involved in this matter.
His intention was to let Fang Chen settle it himself.
Fang Chen shook his head slightly. He took a step forward and said, "You can't say that. Back then, you were the ones who willingly gave me your things. How can you call it cheating?"
"You b * stard, you are the one who cheated us of our things. Why are you still quibbling? I really don't understand how someone like you could become Grandmaster Gu's disciple," shouted a martial artist.
In an instant, a martial artist stood at the top of the mountain and looked at Fang Chen. He exuded a fierce aura. He was the Spirit Monkey.
"Kid, you clearly know that you are Grandmaster Gu's disciple. Why did you cheat us?" questioned the Spirit Monkey.
"Didn't I tell you back then that you would know in three days? I didn't say that it wasn't me. Moreover, you treated me as a servant the first time," Fang Chen said helplessly.
When the Spirit Monkey heard this, he was even more furious. He felt that he had been cheated.
"Grandmaster Gu." The Spirit Monkey looked at Grandmaster Gu and asked for his opinion.
"This is between you and my disciple. As an elder, I won't interfere," Grandmaster Gu said with a smile.
What he meant was that if you challenged my disciple, I won't interfere. Go ahead and challenge him.
When Fang Chen heard this, his face turned black. How could there be such a master?
"Alright, since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony."
When the Spirit Monkey heard this, his face turned cold. Immediately, he activated all the strength in his body and attacked Fang Chen directly.
Bang Bang Bang
The Spirit Monkey was a warrior at the fourth level of the Qi Hai realm. Although his cultivation level wasn't high in the Western region, it wasn't low either.
At this moment, the Spirit Monkey was defeated by Fang Chen's lightning fast attacks the moment he attacked.
At the moment when the Spirit Monkey was sent flying, the entire mountain peak was silent. Countless martial artists looked at this scene in shock.
"This kid is so strong!" Someone exclaimed.
After the Spirit Monkey was defeated, there were naturally other warriors who jumped out. They wanted to challenge Fang Chen and let him know that they weren't easy to bully.
However, under Fang Chen's powerful attacks, there were warriors who were defeated in an instant.
"Oh my god, how strong is this kid? Could it be that his strength is on par with the top three warriors?"
"Impossible, his strength is at most at the late stage of the fourth level of the Qi Hai realm. There is still a huge gap between him and the top five warriors."
"Let me have a go at you."
At this moment, a rough voice came into everyone's ears. Then, a fat man with big ears appeared in front of Fang Chen.
"Chen Jin, it's actually Chen Jin. Even he can't help but want to fight?" A warrior saw Chen Jin and exclaimed.
Chen Jin was at the peak of the fourth level of the Qi Hai realm. In the younger generation of the Western region, his strength was only second to the top three warriors.
"With Chen Jin fighting, this kid will lose for sure."
"That's right, Chen Jin is too strong. Unless the top three warriors fight, no one is a match for Chen Jin."
"I want to see how this kid will block Chen Jin's attacks."
When Chen Jin appeared, all the warriors thought that Chen Jin would win for sure.
Only Fang Chen didn't care about Chen Jin at all.
At this moment, on top of the mountain, Gu Zong's eyes flashed with surprise. "This kid is not only talented in forging weapons, but also in martial arts."
Gu Zong was a master blacksmith after all. After watching Fang Chen's fight, he could tell that Fang Chen's true strength was only at the second level of the Qi Hai realm. But his true strength was probably on par with the top three warriors of the Western region.
"What a perverted fellow." Gu Zong grinned.
Even when he was young, he didn't have such a monstrous talent like Fang Chen.
"You are not my match." Fang Chen said.
Since Gu Zong allowed everyone to challenge him, Fang Chen understood that Gu Zong wanted to see his true strength. Secondly, Gu Zong wanted to intimidate the other warriors.
"Kid, although you are Master Gu Zong's disciple, you are only at the second level of the Qi Hai realm. I, Chen Jin, don't care about you." Chen Jin's face was full of mockery as he said.
If Fang Chen wasn't Gu Zong's disciple, he would have already been killed by Chen Jin if he dared to say such words.
At this moment, on the mountainside, countless warriors who were deceived by Fang Chen wanted to find Fang Chen for revenge. But they were not as strong as Fang Chen, so they could only place their hopes on Chen Jin.
"Many people have said that they want to kill me, but in the end, I killed them all." Fang Chen said calmly.
"Unfortunately, I am not them. You are destined to lose when you meet me." Chen Jin said eerily.
Dong
Just at this moment, a terrifying aura was emitted from Fang Chen's body. In the next moment, Fang Chen's low-rank spirit weapon, Hidden Dragon Sword, was suddenly pulled out as he executed the third level of the Fire and Water Sword Technique.
Crash!
A majestic Sword Qi directly condensed into a Sword Light of Water and Fire, which then pierced towards Chen Jin.
Bang
Chen Jin didn't have any strength to defend himself and was directly hit to the ground by the Fire and Water Sword. In the next moment, Fang Chen put away his Hidden Dragon Sword. His body appeared in front of Chen Jin and stepped on his chest.
"You are destined to lose when you meet me."
