Zongman: Unlock the Heroic Spirit Heritage from Demon Slayer

Zhengu nodded thoughtfully.

"I'm going to see Village Chief Tetsujin this afternoon, so Kyojuro will be troubling you!"

After receiving a positive answer, Zhou Yi left the training ground.

"Kyojuro, it's time to eat."

Makomo placed the remaining rice balls in front of him.

Kyojuro: !!

Have a meal!

He stood up quickly, grabbed the rice ball and stuffed it into his mouth.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

A total of eight rice balls were delivered into Kyojuro's stomach in less than a minute.

"Ah! He's alive. It turns out that Master Ice Pillar is better. Master Water Pillar was too cruel."

Ok?

Hearing what Kyojuro said, Makomo narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

Did this kid just say something bad about his junior fellow apprentice?

"Kyojuro, are you full?" Makomo's voice was a little brisk.

"Yes, Lord Bingzhu, I'm full! Thank you. Of course, it would be better if you could rest for a while!" Kyojuro had not yet realized the coming of the crisis and still thought that Makomo in front of him was a gentle person.

However, what he said was not wrong. It was a pity that this gentleness was reserved for his junior fellow apprentice.

"Rest? Don't rest. I think you are still active. Let's get started!"

"Ice Breath!"

"what!!!"

Today is also the day Kyojuro gets spanked.

Swordsmith Village

Village Chief, Tetsuji Kawahara Tetsujinie

1.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

Before he knocked on the door, Zhou Yi already heard the sound of iron hammering in the house.

"It seems that even if I knock on the door, he won't hear me!"

Zhou Yi felt helpless and could only push the door open.

As soon as the door opened, the sound of hammering became louder.

Ding Ding!

Very rhythmic, this village chief Tiezhen is also a master of sword forging!

The second inherited heroic spirit of Zhou Yi is Sengo Muramasa.

He is also an extremely good swordsmith.

Therefore, Zhou Yi can also judge the quality of a swordsmith based on his voice.

The sound came from inside. Zhou Yi walked through the living room and went straight to the backyard.

The furnishings in Tiezhen's house are unexpectedly simple.

A living room, a chair, plus a recliner covered with a light blanket.

"It seems that this village chief Tiezhen often sleeps in the living room."

Zhou Yi already had a general impression of Tie Zhen, whom he had only met once.

Another person who focuses on forging swords!

When Zhou Yi arrived at the backyard, he found that Tie Zhen had entered the critical step of forging the sword.

Forge!

This step can be said to be the key to forging a knife.

The Sun Blade is forged from a mixture of orangutan red sand iron and jade steel.

Orangutan red sand iron is a special kind of iron ore. It is produced in high mountains and absorbs the essence of the sun.

That’s why it can have the effect of restraining ghosts.

Right before his eyes, Tie Zhen was hammering the jade steel mixed with orangutan red sand iron with great force!

Tie is indeed an old swordsmith!

He wrapped the steel block with a thin layer of soil and ash to prevent it from oxidizing when it came into contact with oxygen. He then quickly heated the steel block to 1300 degrees Celsius, and while the heat was still there, he quickly hit the steel block with a hammer.

This kind of forging can remove residual impurities and make the steel block purer.

Zhou Yi took a closer look and found that the hammer in Tie Zhen's hand must weigh at least a hundred pounds!

But he swung it with great vigor and controlled the strength just right.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi's eyes revealed admiration.

You should know that when it comes to forging a knife, it doesn't require you to use a lot of force to create miracles, but rather it requires precision!

In order to make the steel block into a qualified knife blank, the steel block must be folded and forged continuously so that the carbon in it is evenly distributed!

And the carbon content is very particular.

Iron with less carbon content is called wrought iron.

Wrought iron is very soft, has good plasticity and ductility, and can even be drawn into wire.

Relatively speaking, its strength and hardness are low, so this kind of iron is not suitable for making weapons.

If the carbon content is too high, it will be too hard and brittle.

It was obvious that Tie Zhen in front of him was an excellent swordsmith. After his forging, the steel block was layered very evenly and the carbon content was almost 6.5%.

It's already a very good knife blank!

However, Zhou Yi had sharp eyes and saw the flaw at a glance.

"This is a top-quality knife blank, but it lacks some layers." Zhou Yi said it unconsciously with some regret.

"I didn't expect that Shui Zhu actually knows how to forge swords!" Tie Zhen's face looked a little ugly when he heard Zhou Yi's words.

You actually said that the knife blanks I made had less layers? Even if you are an admirable water column, you cannot point fingers at me in my professional matters!

Moreover, according to his conservative estimate, this knife blank of his has at least 5000 layers per centimeter!

This astonishing data is unrivaled even in the Swordsmith Village, which is famous for its swordsmithing!

You, a water column, actually said that there is less stratification?

Isn’t that a bit too arrogant?

But he had a good impression of the water column, so he chose to keep it secret.

"No, no, I just know a little bit." When it comes to professional matters, he is never modest and never lies.

"Don't talk nonsense if you only know a little, otherwise you'll easily make a fool of yourself!"

"My knife blank is absolutely top-notch, and it has a lot of layers!"

Tiezhen still couldn't help himself and said something to Zhou Yi.

As mentioned above, the amount of carbon content determines the hardness of iron.

But if carbon can be evenly adhered to the surface of each layer by hitting it with a hammer, the hardness and toughness of the weapon will be greatly improved.

This ensures that the Nichirin Sword will not break easily, and also ensures that the Nichirin Sword is sharp enough to chop off the demon's head!

Tiezhen thought the other party would shut up, but Zhou Yi said with a serious face:

"' ‖ Not only is the layering of your knife blank a little lacking, but even the distribution of carbon is not right!"

Hearing this, Tiezhen immediately got angry.

I respected you as the Water Pillar that destroyed the upper-rank demons, so I gave you some face, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless.

Questioning me about sword-forging?

Then don't blame me for bullying a lousy knife user like you!

We two must have a good talk.

Why is the distribution of falls uneven? Why are there so few falls on this floor?

He dropped the hammer onto the ground, making a dull thud.

"Then I'd like to hear what Lord Shuizhu has to say!" Tiezhen's face turned terribly dark.

He must teach this arrogant amateur a lesson!

(Okay) "Your knife blank has a total of 5246 layers, which is indeed very good." Zhou Yi said this lightly.

Tiezhen was stunned for a moment. His eyesight was not that amazing, so he could only come up with an estimate through rough calculations.

5300!

It’s actually similar to what Zhou Yi said!

Is he really that capable?

Just when he was wondering, he thought of a possibility.

"I heard that this water pillar is extremely powerful and has killed several upper-rank demons. It's probably just that he has better eyesight!"

"He's barely 14, and it's extremely rare for him to have mastered swordsmanship to this level! How can he find the time to learn swordsmithing?"

The best swordsman has extraordinary eyesight and can observe the layering of the blade blank. Although it is a bit horrifying, it cannot be said to be impossible!

As for what you said, he really knows how to forge swords?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

If Shuizhu knew how to forge swords, he would eat this hammer!

……

The author felt that the name Tiezhen was a bit feminine, so he chose the translation Tiezhen. Please forgive me.

Chapter 108 System BUG [Related to the main storyline, recommended to subscribe]

Seeing Tie Zhen's expression of disbelief, Zhou Yi realized that he had to show off his real skills!

"When I came in from the door just now, I heard the sound of you hammering, Village Chief."

I really don’t know why Zhou Yi said this.

“When you have that layer, the sound you make when you hammer is very even, and as it should be, the carbon is evenly distributed.”

After hearing Zhou Yi's words, the frown on Tie Zhen's face gradually relaxed.

This guy is quite good at praising people!

He considered whether to let the water column go.

"But! This is also the crux of your problem!" Zhou Yi immediately changed the subject and began to criticize Tie Zhen.

Tiezhen's expression, which had been gradually improving, turned gloomy again.

He takes it back!

This guy really doesn't know how to speak human language!

He clenched his fists and said something through his teeth:

"Oh? What went wrong?"

Tiezhen is a reasonable person.

If Zhou Yi can't explain the reason, he will risk his life to convince him!
