“You’re already forging the shape?!” Gongxi Kuangdao noticed what was happening and immediately shouted out loud. Just as he said this, he realized that Ling Chuxi had already released her True Qi and started to shape the weapon.
Gongxi Kuangdao couldn’t help but be stunned. He was able to get to this stage because of his ability to trust his gut feeling after being immersed in this practice for years. However, Ling Chuxi had only learned it for a few days, and today was her first practice but she was already to get to this stage. This was more than luck now.
Of course, he didn’t know that Ling Chuxi’s Core of Martial Path had such wonderful benefits. He could only attribute everything to luck.
But immediately, Gongxi Kuangdao’s expression changed again. Ling Chuxi had actually directly forged the shape of the whole body of the dagger. With the power of the Lava Fire Crystal and True Qi, the iron essence finally took form.
Even with Gongxi Kuangdao’s forging ability, he could only forge a part of the sword tip first, and then the rest bit by bit. Who would have thought that Ling Chuxi could actually forge the shape in her first try? She was really a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers.
In the end, the piece of iron essence did go to waste! Gongxi Kuangdao shook his head, feeling a little sad. If he had known that it would end up like this, he would have just found a random piece of steel and let her practice with it.
“Sigh, it’s a pity that this piece of high-quality iron essence had become such a waste.” The few subordinates next to him shook their heads in regret.
Although their forging abilities were not as good as Gongxi Kuangdao’s, they had learned forging since they were young, so they naturally knew the dangers involved. Looking at Ling Chuxi’s posture, they knew that this piece of iron essence was definitely going to be scrapped.
However, Ling Chuxi did not know what they were thinking. At this moment, she was fully focused on forging, and it was such a wonderful experience to be immersed in. With the power of Core of Martial Path, her True Qi became like an invisible hand, kneading the molten iron essence as if it was playing with clay. Who knew forging would be so easy? Ling Chuxi’s childlike heart was delighted. She kneaded the iron essence and began to play with it. And thus, its shape started to turn less attractive.
“Forget it. Anyway, this iron essence belongs to her. If it turns out useless, so be it. It’s already good enough that she was able to forge to that level for the first time.” Gongxi Kuangdao looked at the iron essence that had started to look strange and turned his head away, unable to watch it anymore.
“Sir…” Suddenly, one of his subordinates pointed at Ling Chuxi. His eyes were full of shock and his lips were trembling.
“What’s wrong?” asked Gongxi Kuangdao curiously. He turned around and was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell to the ground.
“How is this possible? How is this possible?!” Gongxi Kuangdao rubbed his eyes and muttered to himself in disbelief.
He had thought that Ling Chuxi was destined to fail this time. Who knew that the moment he turned around, a smooth and exquisite dagger slowly took shape. The perfectness of the arc, the sharpness of the dagger’s tip, and the coldness of the dagger’s gleam… The dagger was beautiful and mysterious yet sharp. It faintly emitted a bone-piercing killing intent, just like the legendary tooth of the Azure Dragon.
Clang! Gongxi Kuangdao fell to the ground with his blade in hand. He didn’t even know that it had hit his foot.
However, his surprise wasn’t over yet.
Ling Chuxi had seen how exhausted Gongxi Kuangdao was from simply forging the blade tip. Thus, she was expecting to encounter much difficulty in forging the dagger to the stage where she was. Never did she expect it to be so easy to complete; it was so easy she found it quite unbelievable. Since it didn’t take much effort, she might as well try out the spirit casting that Gongxi Kuangdao mentioned earlier.
