Chapter 435: As If He Was There

“Level 9 Warrior Weapon.” Ray Guamin took back his warrior power and straightened up his back to enjoy the admirable look from the crowd, feeling grateful for this opportunity to brag in front of the mass of people provided by his master. “Master, it is a Level 9 Warrior Weapon for sure.”

Yunxing Huisheng lifted his hand, “Say something about this sword.”

Ray Guamin looked at Junyang Sword in all directions and generated another wisp of warrior power into his body to feel the feedback waves from it. Every now and then he would change from frowning in meditation to nodding his head with an indoctrinated look. After nearly half an hour’s time, he raised his head in astonishment. “A fine sword! What a supreme-classed sword it is! The warrior power passages vary in size and keep interacting with each other, granting the warrior power injected there with higher might than before.”

Yunxing Huisheng nodded his head softly in contentedness and then cast an encouraging look at Ray Guamin, telling him to continue with his comments.

“The body of the sword employs numerous metal varieties to form a consummate mixture, making it difficult for people to tell how many types of metal have been exploited here. It looks as if having borrowed only one piece of metal for forging.” Ray Guamin blurted with an expression of crazed exultation. “As for the intercepting means of warrior power transmission from the rivaling side, the body of the sword doesn’t take on the simple blocking mode, but a phased discharging pattern equipped with a blockade at the end, by doing so, the effects of fending off the rival’s warrior power intrusion are exerted to the fullest extent.”

“It’s a truly nice sword.” Ray Guamin kept shaking his head in acclamation. “I cannot find out any deficiencies on it. It’s really a flawless work. I wonder whether Qian Jin can see some defects from it. Or may you tell us some new insights about it to the rest of us?”

Ray Guamin stood in front of Qian Jin, with the Junyang Sword carried in his hand and a malicious smile wore on his face. With his deliberate observation, he had spoken out all existing merits about this sword, with no defects discovered. In case you couldn’t say something new, the other people would know that you were nothing but a parroting sham. By that time you would lose all face.

Qian Jin had a glance at the Junyang Sword held in Ray Guamin’s hand and didn’t take it over. Instead, he lifted his eyelids to look at Yunxing Huisheng. “Respected president, do you merely deem it as a Level 9 Warrior Weapon?”

Yunxing Huisheng kept smiling in silence and then looked into Qian Jin with an encouraging look, indicating him to speak out his ideas.

“Then I will go with my points.” Qian Jin cast another glance at the Junyang Sword and shook his head repeatedly. “This is not a Level 9 Warrior Weapon in the pure sense. I wonder, you were intending to make a soul weapon in the very beginning, right?”

Yunxing Huisheng opened his mouth out of shock and flashed a look of surprise from the corners of his eyes. From the wrinkles around his eyebrows people could see slight elation, and from the pupils, sheer astonishment.

Right. This was designed to be a soul weapon. Yunxing Huisheng felt overwhelmed with emotions. He did intend to make a soul weapon, but how could this boy see through his intentions? Or it was just his conjecture as he knew that I was determined to make a soul weapon?

“I don’t say it of a Level 9 Warrior Weapon because…” Qian Jin shrugged one’s shoulder, “it’s a sub-classed Level 9 Warrior Weapon, that is, theoretically it’s just an above-Level-8 Warrior Weapon which hasn’t evolved into Level 9.”

The tall and firm mountain-towering stature of Yunxing Huisheng tumbled all of a sudden, as what Qian Jin had said was definitely correct. To many others, this piece of armament presented as a Level 9 Warrior Weapon, while experienced discerning blacksmiths like him could see through it upon close observation.

However… Yunxing Huisheng looked at Qian Jin bemusedly. Just now this boy merely tried to transmit his warrior power into the body of the Junyang Sword without deliberate observation on it before Ray Guamin took it away. How could he see through it in such a short time? Even Yunxing Huisheng himself wouldn’t be able to tell the essence of this sword within such a short time.

Had he gone crazy?

All attendees at the party switched to Qian Jin like watching a lunatic.

Who was Yunxing Huisheng? Who was Ray Guamin? What social status did the castellan enjoy?

Both Ray Guamin and the castellan had verified that this Junyang Sword was a Level 9 Warrior Weapon, how dare Qian Jin repute it? By doing so he was undoubtedly infringing upon President Yunxing Huisheng!

Ray Guamin couldn’t stop shivering out of excitement, praying that Qian Jin could go on with his frantic remarks to enrage his master, by which time…humph!

Yunxing Huisheng kept silent, whereas the only sound echoed in the hall came from Qian Jin.

Marc Gavin was itching for rushing to Qian Jin at once and covering his mouth with his hands. Among all forces in Yulee City, the Magic Union was the only one privileged not to care about the Blacksmith Union, but the Torrent Battle Fort didn’t have such rights. In the event that Qian Jin went on with his speech…

“This sword is forged by adopting thirteen different metal varieties and enjoys extraordinary blending techniques. However…” Qian Jin smacked his mouth. “Rather than calling it merging, we’d better say that it uses the technique of linking and cloaking. It looks integral from the surface, but as soon as it’s challenged by a warrior weapon with completely merged metals, the difference thereof will emerge.”

Staring at Qian Jin speaking with fervor and assurance, Ray Guamin couldn’t help feeling excited and praying that Qian Jin could go on with his speech without stopping.

A light of elation sprawled around Yunxing Huisheng’s eyes. He was really astonished this time. Previously, upon hearing that the Torrent Battle Fort had nurtured an outstanding blacksmith, Yunxing Huisheng made up his mind to talk him into giving up trying to become a warrior, as the Zence Empire didn’t and wouldn’t pay much attention to the ordinary warriors due to the existence of the noble bloodline warriors.

But things went differently with blacksmiths. The Blacksmith Union was forever in search of blacksmiths, especially the talented ones.

Yunxing Huisheng had made up his mind to persuade the young man referred to as Qian Jin by Ray Guamin into giving up on the warrior’s dream and joining in his forging team, so long as he presented forging flairs. In case Qian Jin wasn’t willing to snuff off his idea of becoming a warrior, he would break the rule to recruit him as an apprentice as long as he was promising.

Yunxing Huisheng was confident that as long as he offered the intent of taking someone as the apprentice, people who weren’t involved in forging in Yulee Region would feel eager to join his team, let alone those who naturally took forging as their career.

However, this boy possessed not only in inborn talents… Yunxing Huisheng came to life from astonishment. In the very beginning when Qian Jin pointed out that this wasn’t a Level 9 warrior weapon, Yunxing Huisheng doubted if he said so aimlessly or by conjecture, but now, all suspicion on the seriousness of this boy’s remarks had melted away.

Definitely right. The technique employed here was linking and covering, which constituted an inseparable part of forging skills. But to achieve merging in a real sense? It wasn’t as easy as eating up a loaf of bread.

“So, is there any solution to this?”

Yunxing Huisheng suddenly posted this question in a highly inquisitive way, but not a hint of anger couldn’t be heard from his voice.

What? A lot of people stared at Yunxing Huisheng in a strange way, wondering how the president of Blacksmith Union could ask Qian Jin for suggestions on the solution. Did he really mean to get things solved? Or was he trying to baffle Qian Jin due to his anger at having his authority challenged?

“In fact, the solution doesn’t only involve forging.” Qian Jin started analyzing it in a serious way. “First of all, the fire coal used for forging was wrong and the formula of phosphorus was problematic. To make things right, the amount of black phosphorus ought to be half of that of the red phosphorus. But seen from the linkage of the sword, the black phosphorus was twice as much as the red. Additionally, no white phosphorus should have been added here…”

Yunxing Huisheng felt like he was struck by lightning out of the blue, which made all of his hair stand up. Had this boy… he… had he seen my forging procedure? Or else how could he be so clear about my formula proportion? Could this be seen from the surface of the sword? Oh no.

“And the timing was also wrong.” Qian Jin frowned. “The red phosphorus should be added at by nightfall, instead of at noon. As for the technique of forging… why is there a wrong hammering move at the one foot and two inches position of the blade’s body?”

Yunxing Huisheng felt both his hands and feet freeze as this boy had not only gotten the adding timing of the red phosphorus correct but also saw through that he, as the maker of this sword, had his mind drift apart during a certain period of time.

A stomachache… Yunxing Huisheng had nothing to say for himself. At the very crucial moment, he suddenly had a stomachache.

On no. Forget about all the stomachaches and headaches. Looking at Qian Jin breaking down the defects of the Junyang Sword, Yunxing Huisheng had his heart beat even quicker and his blood circulate even fiercer. How appalling this bloke’s discerning and analyzing abilities were!

He seemed to have witnessed the entire forging procedure by merely studying the surface of the sword. Yunxing Huisheng deemed himself incapable of seeing through the forging procedure of a piece of armament by merely observing its body, even in the event that he made another leap forward in his forging techniques

“In case the Junyang Sword came across as a real Level 9 Warrior Weapon used by someone who was of the same strength level as him, the user of this Junyang Sword would…” Qian Jin made a sigh. “Things would be redemptive if the rivaling two sides were relatively low in overall might, but in case a strong person like Fabreidis grasped the Junyang Sword, he would be injured due to the special design at the one-foot and two inches position.”

Yunxing Huisheng’s chest started to heave hard, and his wrinkled face flushed all at once. Seeing this, Ray Guamin clenched his fists firmly and told himself that a wonderful drama play was underway.

“You…you…” Yunxing Huisheng’s chest heaved up and down fiercely, as he approached Qian Jin. “You…you are completely right.”

Boom.

The silent dance floor sloughed off its quietness all of a sudden, as the dumbfounded guests burst out screeching in surprise completely and collectively. Whoosh, what had happened today at the party was more than surprising.

With Qian Jin’s analysis, the present sent by Yunxing Huisheng seemed useless all of a sudden. However, the maker of this weapon, the Number One Blacksmith in Yulee Region, didn’t get enraged at all. Instead, he admitted every defect of the sword pointed out by Qian Jin in the presence of so many people.

What was the social status Yunxing Huisheng enjoyed? President of Yulee Blacksmith Union, Number One Blacksmith in Yulee Region, and one of the judges in the God-tier Blacksmith Master Competition.
