Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 267: Ji Juechen Goes to a Higher Level
"Huchi - Huchi -"

Chen Junting came to a house and saw that the door was half-open, from which came bursts of heat and the sound of metal knocking.

As soon as I pushed the door open, the air was filled with the smell of sulfur and coal, and a hot breath hit me in the face.

The room was not messy. After all, apart from a soul guide furnace in the center that was burning fiercely, all other blacksmithing tools were available, but it seemed that few of them had been used.

Of course, this is not the case.

Inside the furnace, the flames that seemed to want to devour someone but also made Chen Junting feel familiar were constantly surging, illuminating everything around red, and even the air was dyed with a bit of golden color.

There is no doubt that this is a blacksmith shop.

However, this blacksmith shop was not the one that ordinary people thought was used to make farm tools. Instead, it was built by the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect in combination with soul guidance technology specifically for one person.

At this moment, in front of the soul guide furnace, there was a burly, muscular man standing, facing the blazing flames.

He was shirtless, revealing his strong and muscular arms, and his skin had a healthy bronze luster under the firelight.

Sweat slid down his forehead and dripped onto his chest and the ground. Even though Chen Junting had arrived, he acted as if he was unaware of it, as if all his attention was focused on the work in his hands.

Now he is concentrating on forging a long sword.

He was seen holding an iron hammer, swinging it accurately and powerfully each time, guiding the sword into shape amid flying sparks.

It seemed that over time, the sword blank became soft under the high temperature, and then took on its complete shape under the strong man's craftsmanship.

Finally, when the final hammer fell!
"Buzz——" The blade made a crisp sound, indicating the completion of the forging process. The strong man picked up the newly created work and examined it carefully, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Then, the strong man put the sword into the coolant to quench it.

"His-"

A wisp of steam was mixed in with the harsh sound, and a hard protective layer quickly formed on the surface of the sword. Finally, after repeated polishing, the sword flashed a cold light and became extremely sharp.

Chen Junting did not disturb this process from beginning to end.

Instead, they adopted a wait-and-see attitude and waited quietly for completion.

Now, "Jun Ting, why are you here?"

"Uncle Tai."

Chen Junting bowed slightly to show his respect.

That’s right, the person in front of him is Qianjun Douluo Taiyu.

This blacksmith shop was built for his entertainment. After all, as a descendant of the Li clan, Taiyu could be said to have inherited blacksmithing skills from his ancestors. In order to prevent this inherited skill from becoming unfamiliar, Taiyu used it as a pastime.

As for now, “I’m just passing through and came to take a look.”

Having said that, Chen Junting's eyes could not help but fall on the newly forged sword. Because of the quality of this sword, he could almost recognize its extraordinaryness at a glance.

This sword is exactly the one that Ji Juechen owns.

Chen Junting claimed that he was not an excellent blacksmith, so after Ji Juechen joined the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, he naturally had to let the person with the best skills do the work to avoid any problems in the future.

It seems that the sword is very excellent now.

"How about it, not bad."

Noticing Chen Junting's gaze, Taiyu quite complacently flicked the "Meteorite Sword" that had been transformed. The first reaction of the sword was as if the sword body was slightly pressed, and then it bounced back after being released.

Later, Chen Junting learned from Taiyu that the latter had added a little extended memory metal when forging the sword.

"Any weapon will break easily if it is too rigid. So if we add some flexibility to the weapon, it will also be beneficial to the user."

"I don't know which bastard repaired this sword before. It's so crude. Fortunately, my skills are superb."

Chen Junting rolled his eyes when he heard this:

I am just a bad boy, I am really sorry!
But it was precisely because Taiyu had superb forging skills, and if he were to be placed ten thousand years ago, he would have been at least a master blacksmith, that he asked Ji Juechen to find Uncle Tai and ask him to repair and recast it.

After taking a lingering look at the "child", Taiyu sheathed the sword and threw it to Chen Junting.

"Boy, since you are here, you can hand it over to him. Although it has not reached the level of a 'divine weapon', the quality of the sword alone is not inferior to the weapon spirits of ordinary Titled Douluo."

"it is good."

Chen Junting glanced at the sheathed long sword in his hand. With it, and the harmony with the martial spirit integrated into it, Ji Juechen's strength can be improved by at least 10%.

……

into the night.

After a simple meal, I came to a quiet forest alone. After passing through, the stone forest came into view.

The night wind blew through the sharp stone pillars that stood like swords. Between the stone pillars, a slender figure had already stood there, holding a long sword and swinging it. The sword light flickered in the dark night.

From the disciples of the sect, it was learned that Ji Juechen would look for someone to challenge in the sect during the day, and then practice in the stone forest at night. It can be said that when it gets dark, he will find someone to challenge.

"Lao Ji."

Chen Junting shouted, took out his sword and threw it over.

Ji Juechen turned around abruptly and took the long sword with his left hand. As soon as he touched it, he felt his martial spirit responding to it.

He put away the makeshift sword and drew it out with a "swish".

Just glanced at it and said, "Nice sword."

Chen Junting walked slowly to his side and said with a smile.

"How about trying this sword?"

Ji Juechen stood with a sword in his hand, and his aura changed accordingly.

"Please advise."

As he spoke, his fighting spirit burned like a raging fire.

Chen Junting did not refuse. The next second after he summoned his martial soul, the two figures simultaneously slashed out with sword energy and collided with each other.

I don’t know how much time had passed, I only knew that the stars in the sky were twinkling more and more, and the two figures fighting in the stone forest finally stopped.

"How are you, satisfied?"

Chen Junting asked with a smile, but from the fight just now, he found that Ji Juechen's strength had improved significantly. In addition to the improvement of his soul power, this sword also strengthened him.

"Satisfied." Ji Juechen was very frugal with his words, but the joy in his eyes was not restrained at all. For a swordsman, a sword that is suitable and powerful is very important.

"No name?"

Hearing this, Ji Juechen pondered for a moment.

"That's called 'Silence'."

Chen Junting naturally had no objection to this.

However, besides giving him the sword, he came to Ji Juechen for another important matter. He took out a jade box.

"Old Ji, you are about to break through to Soul Saint."

Although Ji Juechen didn't understand why Chen Junting suddenly asked this, he still answered truthfully. After joining the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, he received a piece of ten thousand year soul bone. After absorbing it, he broke through to level 69, just one step away from level 70.

Hearing this, Chen Junting nodded slightly.

"In that case, I'll help you."

Having said that, he opened the jade box in his hand.

"It's killing me."

As soon as a gap appeared, a sound came from inside, which startled Ji Juechen. At the same time, an orchid flew out of the jade box impatiently and hovered in the air.

"This is... a hundred thousand year old soul beast!?"

"That's right." Chen Junting admitted, and said, "But it has another identity, that is, the fairy grass - the eight-petal fairy orchid."

Hearing these unfamiliar words, Ji Juechen's brows furrowed slightly.

"Immortal grass..."
