Chapter 329 The Weapon Casting Conference Begins
The Sky Fire Melting Sun Furnace is extremely spectacular. Almost everyone who sees this huge furnace that looks like a small mountain for the first time will feel shocked.
At this time, as the Sky Fire Melting Sun Furnace started, amazing heat was brewing in it.
Even the powerful formation in Huoyun Valley could not withstand the surge of heat.
It was like a volcanic eruption. A line of fire surged out, pouring down along the furnace body, extending all the way, and pouring into a weapon casting furnace ten feet away from the arena.
This weapon casting furnace is not small either. It is about one foot high and two feet wide. It is pitch black and surrounded by black dragon inscriptions. It looks very powerful.
However, compared with the spectacular Sky Fire Melting Sun Furnace, this weapon casting furnace seems a bit ordinary.
At this time, the fire line in the Sky Fire Melting Sun Furnace suddenly erupted, directly igniting the weapon casting furnace, and a dazzling flame suddenly exploded on it.
Cen Xingzi bowed to the people around him and said, "Everyone, the weapon casting furnace has been opened, and the sky fire is blazing. Please throw the prepared materials into the weapon casting furnace."
People from various sects came forward one after another and threw the prepared materials in their hands into the weapon casting furnace.
Although Han Zheng did not recognize what the materials were, he could feel the powerful power contained in those materials from a distance.
Wan Chongshan also took out a box and took out a piece of ore with a black jade color from it.
"This is black mirror cloud iron, which is also an extremely rare ore. Before the weapon casting conference began, Mr. Xu found it from the storage warehouse and sent it to me.
Since our Demon Slayer Division participated in the weapon casting conference, we can't lose face, right?"
Wan Chongshan said, and walked over to throw the black mirror cloud iron into the weapon casting furnace.
Cen Xingzi has been casting weapons for many years, and his eyesight is very high. He can almost tell at a glance what level the materials thrown in by the major sects are.
It can be said that each of these materials is the basic material for forging heavenly soldiers. If so many materials are added together and still can't forge heavenly soldiers, Lianfenghao will lose face.
After this step is over, Cen Xingzi said in a deep voice: "Thank you all for your support. The weapon forger of this weapon forging conference will be my direct disciple Qiao Anze, and my other disciple Fang Tieyun will assist."
As he said, two of the disciples of Lianfenghao came out one after the other.
One of them stood in front of the weapon forging furnace, wearing a fire-proof golden silk armor, with a masculine and handsome appearance, probably in his early thirties, and it was Qiao Anze, the direct disciple of Cen Xingzi.
Another disciple Fang Tieyun stood beside him, with a slightly plain appearance, a red upper body, revealing a bronze body, as if the muscles were cast from gold and iron.
Seeing the two weapon forgers selected by Lianfenghao, there was a burst of discussion at the scene, and Wan Chongshan also frowned.
Han Zheng asked: "Master Wan, what's the problem with this weapon forger? Did the previous weapon forging conference also need two weapon forgers?"
Wan Chongshan pondered for a moment and whispered: "There is a problem.
Two weapon forgers are not uncommon. Forging heavenly soldiers is extremely difficult, so it is normal to have someone assist. Sometimes there are even two people assisting at the same time.
But the problem is that the weapon forger selected by Lianfeng this time is Qiao Anze, and Fang Tieyun is actually an assistant.
Qiao Anze is Cen Xingzi's direct disciple, and also Cen Xingzi's senior brother, the youngest son of the previous generation of the master of Lianfeng.
The other party is also very famous in Lianfeng, and he is indeed carefully cultivated by Lianfeng A weapon forger, his fireproof golden armor is a treasure passed down by the ancestors of the Lianfeng.
Fang Tieyun was born as an ordinary disciple. He was just a small blacksmith in the early days. After joining the Lianfeng, he worked diligently to get to where he is today.
Although Fang Tieyun was not trained like Qiao Anze, he was also very talented.
When he was an ordinary weapon forger, the number of Xuanbing he produced was the largest among all the weapon forgers in the entire Lianfeng, and the quality was excellent.
The weapon forgers of the Lianfeng would engrave their names on the weapons. At that time, I noticed him because almost half of the Xuanbing purchased by my Demon Slayer Division were forged by Fang Tieyun.
Later, he Becoming a master of weapon casting, the number of ground soldiers forged is also the largest.
And the most important thing is not the quantity, but the quality and stability.
Forging ground soldiers also has the risk of furnace explosion. Fang Tieyun's real strength lies in the fact that he has forged nearly 30 ground soldiers since he became a master of weapon casting, and none of them have exploded.
You should know that even some old-fashioned weapon casting masters of Lianfeng may forge more than 50 ground soldiers in their lifetime, but there may be 30 failures due to furnace explosion.
Fang Tieyun is powerful because he is extremely stable and never explodes the furnace and wastes materials.
At every weapon casting conference, major Jianghu forces will send their most outstanding young disciples to participate in the battle. Sons will come to participate.
Similarly, Lianfeng will select the youngest and most outstanding weapon forger to be responsible for forging the Heavenly Soldiers.
Most people thought that this person would be Fang Tieyun.
After all, Lianfeng has failed to successfully forge Heavenly Soldiers in three consecutive weapon forging conferences.
Who would have thought that Qiao Anze would be sent this time.
Although Qiao Anze is the disciple of the previous generation of the master, and his own strength in forging weapons is not bad, he is still not as stable as Fang Tieyun.
What is Lianfeng thinking? It actually let Qiao Anze be the weapon forger. This is simply nonsense.
They don't care, but we still dislike wasting materials. "
Many people present thought the same as Wan Chongshan.
Although the Heavenly Soldiers need to be forged by the Lianfeng, they provided the materials, and they also contributed to the competition.
They provided the materials and the strength, but you, the Lianfeng, chose an unreliable weapon forger. This is a bit unreasonable.
Han Zheng narrowed his eyes and laughed softly: "The weapon forgers of the Lianfeng seem simple, but in fact they can't escape all kinds of interest calculations and favors."
This kind of thing is nothing new, it's just that Qiao Anze has a strong backstage.
His father is Cen Xingzi's senior brother and the last generation of the Lianfeng clan leader.
The senior weapon forgers in the Lianfeng now may all be his father's people.
Even the clan leader Cen Xingzi is his backer.
With such a big advantage, it is not surprising that Qiao Anze was selected to forge the Heavenly Soldiers.
It's just that the Lianfeng has some priorities.
If they did this in the last or the last weapon forging conference, there would be no problem.
But now, three consecutive weapon casting conferences have failed to forge heavenly soldiers, but they are still playing with these nepotism and favoritism. This is simply not knowing the difference between the important and the unimportant, and they don't know how to live or die.
However, even if everyone is dissatisfied with this matter, it is not easy to say, after all, this is an internal problem of Lianfeng.
And although there is a gap between Qiao Anze and Fang Tieyun, the gap is not that big. Fang Tieyun is just more stable.
Seeing that no one said anything, Cen Xingzi was slightly relieved, and then said in a deep voice: "The weapon casting conference has officially begun. A disciple will issue a number plate to you later.
The first round is a group battle. Please ask the warriors with the number plate to go to the ring, and finally decide a winner to enter the next round."
The first round of the weapon casting conference over the years is not a one-on-one fight, but a group battle of ten people in a group, just to quickly select the real strong.
The five families and seven sects, plus a group of weaker Jianghu forces, and a large number of casual martial artists, add up to nearly 500 people.
If a large number of people are not eliminated by group fighting, this weapon casting meeting will last for a month.
Han Zheng took his number plate and saw that it was number 404.
It seems a bit unlucky.
Cen Xingzi has already started to call the number, and ten people took the lead to go on stage and started to attack each other. The fight was very fierce.
Once these warriors started fighting, the sharpness of their weapons would be collected by the formation in the arena and transmitted to the weapon casting furnace.
At the same time, the deep flames in the weapon casting furnace were blazing, burning various materials in it.
Qiao Anze held a half-person-high gilded heavy hammer and hit the scorched red materials. Fang Tieyun on the side also had muscles bulging all over his body, picked up a one-person-high, plain black iron heavy hammer and hit it.
The two of them were one main and one auxiliary, but Han Zheng felt that Fang Tieyun hit harder and faster.
