Chapter 33 Wind and Rain

Boom!

The thunder was rolling, and the rain fell like beads, hitting the old trees and making a "pop" sound on the eaves.

"This is the first rain since I came here."

Li Yuan walked into the rain with bare feet and a pair of shorts, holding a hammer and closing his eyes, feeling the wind and rain on his face.

When he first came here, he was so thin that he was afraid of getting sick even if he rubbed his body with cold water. But now, even if the rain wets his body, he only feels a slight chill.

He could feel the blood flowing through his body, warm and warm, blocking out the chill from the outside world.

People who practice martial arts rarely get sick, not only because of their strong bodies, but also because of the blood and energy in their bodies.

"Martial arts moves vary from person to person. In a real fight, naturally it's not just one move for you and another for me. Finding and exerting energy is the most important part of the fight."

In the rain, Li Yuan adjusted his breathing, without moving the hammer, half-squinting his eyes, feeling the wind and rain.

There is something special about hammer training in the rain.

In the White Ape Cloak Hammer, this is called Ting Jin. In the Fighting Hammer of the Army, this is called the Recognition Jin. There is a similar saying in the Scythe Technique.

Normally, when disciples of various schools learn to play, in addition to wooden stakes and sandbags, their brothers and masters will personally teach them the moves to familiarize themselves with the strength.

More luxurious families will even pay people to paint the 'live piles'.

And if there are no conditions, there are also tricks. Practicing in the rain is one of them.

boom!

At a certain moment, Li Yuan opened his eyes, and the hammer moved accordingly, cutting through the rain curtain and moving around, as if to isolate all wind and rain.

The inability to splash water is one of the symbols of the success of the White Ape's Cloak Hammer.

call!

Hammer shadows interweave.

In addition to controlling the Great Craftsman's Hammer, Li Yuan used all his strength at this time. The big tendons on his arms protruded and were intertwined like a horned dragon.

He danced a long-handled cloak hammer so tightly that it made a whining sound, and from time to time there was an explosion.

but……

"Can't stop it, can't stop it at all!"

Li Yuan could clearly feel the wind and rain coming from all directions. His seemingly airtight hammer net was penetrated like a sieve.

The cold rain hit his whole body.

In the darkness, with the wind and rain, this was an attack that was more difficult to guard against than even the most skilled warriors in Gaoliu City.

"efficient!"

His hair was soaked by the wind and rain, but Li Yuan's eyes were bright.

For him who was seriously lacking in sparring experience, this rain was simply timely!

"If my hammer can dance so hard that even the wind and rain can't get in, how can others suddenly get in?!"

In the wind and rain, Li Yuan hammered one after another, his body was like a spiritual ape, using his feet, knees, hips, shoulders, arms and elbows at the same time, and the blood in his body was more restless than ever before.

The fighting method of fighting with the killing hammer is far more powerful than what is recorded on the White Ape Cloak Hammer.

Although Li Yuan only pushed the number of variations of the first killing move to seventy-six, his endurance exceeded those of the blacksmith masters in the forge who were more energetic than him.

Nourished by blood, his body and endurance are also growing.

With this practice, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.

"The effect is outstanding!"

After going back to the house, drying himself off and changing into clothes, Li Yuan was still full of energy. He was very satisfied as he recalled hammer training in the rain.

With a perfect level hammer technique to compare with, he has made rapid progress. After this rain, he has vaguely grasped the essence of the fighting technique.

If you can stop the enemy from the outside, stop it. If you can't stop it, the choice between lightning and flint can determine life or death.

"Avoid the important and take the easy, block the vital points first!"

…

After the rain, the sky cleared up and there was still the smell of earth and vegetation in the air.

As usual, Li Yuan was the first to come to the forging room. He opened the fire that had been sealed all night, and blew the bellows. After a few blows, the flames shot up.

"The blacksmithing method has been completed for two or three days at most!"

Taking out the raw steel he had beaten a few days ago from the corner, Li Yuan enjoyed the feeling of continuous improvement and having a direction to use his strength.

In the forging shop, one fire is used to forge, and then it is forged again. This is called one refining. Pig iron becomes wrought iron after five refinings, raw steel after a hundred refinings, and wrought steel after a thousand refinings.

There is even a theory of Wan Lian.

Li Yuan didn't understand how a kind of iron could be tempered continuously, but he could only think that it was different in his past life and this one.

"The wrought iron of the fifth temper can only be used to make a kitchen knife, and the wrought iron of the tenth temper can barely be used to make weapons, but it is also of inferior quality. This is what is available in the shop in a handful.

And the sharp blade..."

Li Yuan took out three pieces of hundred-refined raw steel.

There are naturally good and bad weapons, and the price gap between them can be ten times, or even more than a hundred times.

Ordinary jasper knives cost three taels per piece, but the internal price of the jasper knives made by Zhang Ben himself was thirty taels of silver.

"It takes a thousand hammers to make one. It took me seven days to refine these few pieces of raw steel. It's still me. I'm afraid it would take more than half a month for other blacksmiths?"

Li Yuan's fingers touched the steel, and his Dzogchen-level forging skills allowed him to clearly feel the advantages and disadvantages of these pieces of steel.

Then, he stacked three pieces of steel of different qualities together, heated them red, and forged them.

boom!

…

Forging, plasticity, tempering, quenching, tempering, annealing, polishing...

With Li Yuan's endurance, even with advance preparation, he could fight for two full days. The next day, when it was dark, he barely finished the fight.

"good!"

Li Yuan looked up and saw that the master blacksmith and helpers in the forge were still there. They looked at the long knife in his hand and cheered.

"A sharp blade! This jade sword must be a sharp blade!"

"It's only been more than three months, right? Junior Brother Li actually made a sharp blade!"

"A sharp blade! You can get one or two taels of silver for each one you make! Junior Brother Li, please treat us to a drink!"

...

Li Yuan has a good relationship with people in the forging room. After all, this is the territory managed by his master.

"I'll get the silver and I'll definitely get some wine for you senior brothers!"

Amidst the cheers, Li Yuan clasped his fists in response. After a while, he finally had some free time. He took out the polished handle and pressed it with a "click".

[Jade Knife (First Level)]

[The first sharp blade-level long sword made by the Master of Weapons...]

[Control Condition: None]

[Control Effect: Water cannot enter]

First Level Sharp Blade!

"It's not as good as the few jade knives left in the warehouse by the master. The gap is not small. But where does this effect come from?"

Li Yuan felt a little solemn as he stroked the blade.

A few months ago, he believed that the reason why he controlled the weapons was because of the owners of these weapons.

But it was not until he joined the forging room that he found that even the newly forged weapons also had the controllable effect.

"It's related to the forger, the materials, everything, or?"

Master Li thought about it and put it down. He never made things difficult for himself.

Playing with the first weapon he made, Li Yuan felt a little touched, but he still tidied up the forging room slowly.

He put away what should be put away and sealed the fire.

He smiled only after he walked out of the forging room.

This sharp blade helped him break through the small success of forging. The non-level forging hammer that he had chosen before to meet the conditions of controlling the hammer of the master craftsman could be taken down.

The sickle can be controlled again, or other weapons can be selected.

"March 28th is the Gaoliu Temple Fair. People from many nearby towns and even other counties may come. Maybe there will be good things."

Li Yuan was a little tempted.
