Chapter 98 Sleeping with Eyes Open Is a Skill

As Ji Chen said, the fifth elder began to teach Jiang Jiu and others from the beginning, including the gestures for using the hammer, the strength of the strike, and even the temperature of the fire.

After all, the focus is on forging the sword blank, so these are naturally the priority learning content.

"You need to try it yourself to appreciate its mystery."

The Fifth Elder spoke until his mouth was dry and he explained with great diligence and responsibility. At least as a master, he was very qualified.

But Jiang Jiu really fell asleep after hearing it.

Because of Bai Ze's mental torture during this period, always waking her up early, she has been extremely sleep-deprived recently.

Of course, this situation will be significantly improved after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, because the spiritual consciousness will be more versatile, the spirit will be more active, and sleep will no longer affect human cultivators.

“zzz…”

Jiang Jiu's soul is now asleep, only his body remains where it was.

By her senior year of high school, she had already mastered the skills required to sleep with her eyes open, and sleeping was no problem at all for her.

Coupled with her expressionless face, no one noticed that she had fallen asleep for a while, until the five elders began to call out names and asked them one by one to practice swinging the hammer.

"Junior sister, the Fifth Elder wants us to practice refining weapons."

Yun Shuili, who was sitting next to Jiang Jiu, was the first to notice that something was wrong with her. He looked at Jiang Jiu worriedly, but he didn't think that Jiang Jiu was asleep.

He was more worried that the ginger wine was affected by some evil spirit.

It's rare for Junior Sister to have such dull and lifeless eyes, as if she has lost her soul.

“zzz…”

The sound next to his ears was not loud, but Jiang Jiu still did not react.

"Junior sister?!"

Yun Shuili's voice unconsciously became louder, and everyone's attention was instantly focused on Jiang Jiu.

“?!”

This time, the sleeping classmate Jiang Jiu was completely awakened. As soon as she focused her eyes, she found that everyone was staring at her.

Cold sweat soaked my back, and the sleepiness was swept away. Now it was no longer a simple social phobia problem.

Now he was caught sleeping in class, and he was caught red-handed, in plain sight.

Jiang Jiu swallowed her saliva with a gulp. She had just heard other disciples talk about how strict the Fifth Elder was with the disciples, and she fell asleep in front of the Fifth Elder. This was simply like touching a tiger's butt.

"I..."

Just as she was racking her brains to think of how to argue, she heard the Fifth Elder speak to Jiang Jiu in a neutral voice.

"Come forward."

In Jiang Jiu's eyes, there was already a faint green light in the eyes of the Fifth Elder, and now he wanted her to come forward. Jiang Jiu had already imagined how miserable her death would be.

"Wow, I'll never sleep in class again!!!"

But no matter what, Jiang Jiu still walked to the side of the fifth elder with the tragic steps of "the hero will never return once he leaves."

"Let's get started."

The fifth elder looked at Jiang Jiu calmly, but Jiang Jiu would hallucinate that she looked like his high school English teacher.

"...good."

Jiang Jiu is not a fool. With the hammer placed aside, it can only be this one thing.

She stretched out her hand tremblingly, ready to pick up the hammer with a fearless attitude, intending to pretend to hit it twice.

Jiang Jiu thought, although she was going to die, she should at least die later and in a dignified way.

"Two light and three heavy, drop the hammer quickly, and use your wrist to exert force."

It was not until Jiang Jiu raised the hammer that Bai Ze's leisurely and teeth-gritting voice slowly rang out.

Jiang Jiu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Thank you for saving my life, sir."

Sparks flew in the gold workshop. The little junior sister, who used to have a cold and aloof look, now rolled up her sleeves, swung the hammer, and began to strike the sword blank with movements and strength that were completely beyond the expectations of the fifth elder.

And each movement will be more perfect than the last, just like the junior sister actively adjusting the angle of the hammer according to the teachings of the fifth elder.

This scene made all the disciples in the Goldware Workshop stop what they were doing, and their eyes unconsciously focused on Jiang Jiu.

The air in the gold workshop became unusually quiet, with only the sound of Jiang Jiu's hammer dropping continuously, "clang--" "clang--".

The strange beauty and power mixed together on the junior sister seemed to add a bit more charm than usual.

Compared to the unattainable ice beauty and the famous Qingyuan Fairy, today's ginger wine is closer to life and more exciting.

Yu Zimo's bloodshot eyes under the white silk had quietly opened, quietly admiring the scene in front of him.

As Jiang Jiu kept knocking, he felt a chill, and the feeling of being pushed by a wild beast came again.

"Hey, stop shaking your hands. This position won't work. You need to use your waist strength and not lose your concentration!"

Seeing that Jiang Jiu was distracted, Bai Ze's tone became hurried, and he gave Jiang Jiu some instructions with a look of disappointment.

"I know."

Jiang Jiu also knew that now was not the time to pay attention to this matter, so he could only try his best to block out that strange feeling.

"Yeah, that's right, just barely enough."

Bai Ze was finally a little satisfied. At the same time, the fifth elder was so shocked that he was speechless.

“…”

Jiang Jiu waved a few more times, but the Fifth Elder showed no sign of asking her to stop. Jiang Jiu didn't dare to stop on her own, so...

In addition to receiving admiring glances from all the disciples, Jiang Jiu also gained a pair of arms that were almost unable to be lifted.

"Okay."

It took the Fifth Elder a while to recover from his shock.

This is just like the process of an already excellent weapon refiner, whose instincts slowly revive and adapt after coming into contact with familiar tools.

It's a miracle.

Now, even the fifth elder had to believe that Jiang Jiu was the reincarnation of a powerful being.

“…”

Jiang Jiu's arms were so sore that he couldn't lift them any further, but on the surface he remained calm, as if everything that had just happened was nothing.

"If each of you had the same understanding as Jiang Jiu, I wouldn't have to work so hard to teach you every day!"

The fifth elder glanced at the disciples of Yuyin Peak and saw that they all lowered their heads in shame.

“…”

As an ordinary student who is often suppressed by the teacher, Jiang Jiu really wants the werewolf to self-destruct because there is a buff in her body that is comparable to Yao Lao. However, based on the principle of "a friend's death is better than my own", she still accepts everyone's worship against her conscience.

But social anxiety is social anxiety after all. After being worshipped for only half a minute, she couldn't stand it anymore.

"Fifth Elder, can we end this?"

There was a barely perceptible tremor in Jiang Jiu's voice. God knows how sore her arms must be right now.

"Okay, okay, go back and rest."

The Fifth Elder was extremely kind to Jiang Jiu, completely different from before. His smiling face made people feel less wary.

"Thank you, Elder."

Jiang Jiu's clothes fluttered in the wind, and at this moment, she seemed like a god.

In fact, the god in everyone's eyes is crying wildly in his heart with Bai Ze.

"Big brother, thank goodness you are here, otherwise I would have lost my dignity today. You are my adopted parents, you are my savior, wuwuwu."
