Over the next few days, the swordsmiths from other exchange groups were completely convinced by Chen Yang and Hong Gui.
Don't these two perverts experience muscle fatigue?
Chen Yang, in particular, hardly ever seemed to rest. Hong Gui, at least, took several breaks throughout the day, but Chen Yang was truly hammering away the whole time.
These swordsmiths were really afraid that his hand would break or the sword would break, but both were fine.
On the fourth day, almost all the swordsmiths stopped forging and began shaping the swords. Finishing work also had to be done, and the most crucial quenching required their full attention.
As for polishing, there really wasn't enough time; we could only do some rough polishing.
However, you can tell the quality of a sword without sharpening it. This isn't a serious competition, so there's no need to cut something to see whose sword is sharper. Everyone can judge for themselves.
Chen Yang and Hong Gui continued, because Chen Yang could use his abilities to quickly complete the sword-form step without spending too much time.
While others were cold-forging swords, Chen Yang began shaping them during the hot-forging process.
The iron block transformed into the shape of a longsword under his hammering, exactly the form of the Pure Heart Sword.
Seeing this, everyone's eyes were drawn to it. If Chen Yang and Hong Gui could forge a sword that surpassed their own level in such a short time, then the Su Xin Sword was very likely forged by these two.
Could it be that a master is finally about to emerge in this era?
This is an era of declining ancient techniques and the passing of master craftsmen. Many industries have fallen behind the rapid pace of the times, including the sword-making industry.
They might be jealous of a talented young person, but when faced with a young person who has the potential to become a master... they'll be green with envy!
However, if a swordsmith emerges who can rival the masters of history, perhaps the entire sword-making industry will be revived as a result.
In an instant, everyone's gaze toward Chen Yang changed, becoming extremely complex. They didn't know what their feelings were at that moment—whether it was jealousy or relief.
Monte also put down his sword, strode over, and silently stood three meters away from Chen Yang, watching.
Several other swordsmiths also came over and watched silently. Some of them glanced in their direction, sighed, but ultimately didn't come over.
Chen Yang ignored these people. This was a crucial stage, and his hammer even carried some spiritual energy. Each strike produced magnificent sparks, as if the entire earth trembled.
This was a savage performance, only the swordsmith could understand it.
Chen Yang was now completely immersed in a state of oneness with nature, his brain was working at high speed, calculating the changes that each strike would bring, and using his abilities to micro-control it.
At the most crucial moment of the forging process, Chen Yang suddenly stopped.
The swordsmiths watching nearly exploded. It was like the power going out during the climax of a concert—it was incredibly frustrating.
Chen Yang could sense their breakdown, but he didn't care. He said to Hong Gui, who was standing next to him, "It's up to you."
Hong Gui was taken aback, but immediately understood what Chen Yang meant.
Chen Yang is doing him a favor.
“Okay!” she said without hesitation, and took the hammer.
Watching Chen Yang forge, he also felt his blood boil with excitement.
He participated in the entire forging process of this sword, and he knows every detail of the blade very well.
Without hesitation, Hong Gui picked up the hammer and continued hammering the nearly finished sword.
This last step isn't the hardest, but it's crucial. In this step, Chen Yang no longer has an advantage in strength; he needs more experience.
However, Chen Yang still chose to leave this step to Hong Gui, which was to fulfill his wish and also to introduce Hong Gui to the swordsmiths in the sword-making world.
Hong Gui was never a fool; he was a genuine person who did things simply, but often got straight to the point.
He appreciated Chen Yang's kindness without hesitation, and would remember it in his heart.
After striking the final blow, he placed the sword directly into the prepared quenching pool. The red-hot iron sword instantly cooled down, and steam rose from it.
After repeatedly touching the water surface and observing the condition of the sword, Hong Gui directly submerged the sword completely into the water.
When he took the sword out again, everyone's eyes were drawn to it.
Everyone could see Hong Gui and Chen Yang's casting process clearly. The entire process was made using ancient methods without the use of any modern tools, and in fact, most of the people present did the same.
Modern tools are convenient and seemingly powerful, but the swords they produce are never as good as those made with ancient methods.
It took less than five days to complete, which is already very fast. The later polishing will not affect the material of the sword. The final step is quenching. At this point, the sword can be considered finished.
Hong Gui took out the sword and examined it with Chen Yang. Chen Yang glanced at it and was still a little disappointed. It had no attributes and the micro-world did not give any hints, which meant that this sword was still not as good as the Su Xin Sword.
The Pure Heart Sword is quite special, condensing the dozens of days of polishing process into a single day, completing the most difficult step in one go. This was also a clever trick by Chen Yang; the longer the process takes, the more skill is required, and since his skills were insufficient, he had to find another way.
Five days is too short for other swordsmiths, but too long for him. He has already shortened it to about four days, but it is still too long.
However, Hong Gui was extremely satisfied with the sword, because he had also contributed a lot to it, and it was much longer than the Su Xin Sword. The key parts were not done by Chen Yang alone.
As soon as the sword was drawn, Monte immediately surrounded them.
"Can I touch it?"
He actually asked with a sense of seeking permission, which showed respect—respect for the sword and the swordsmith. This also proved that Chen Yang and Hong Gui were respected by him.
After Chen Yang and Hong Gui agreed, he placed his hand on the sword, carefully felt it, and then lifted it up to take a look.
"That's great, that's great..." Monte murmured to himself, then looked excitedly at Chen Yang and Hong Gui and asked, "Was that sword called Su Xin really forged by the two of you?"
Chen Yang nodded.
Monte paused for a moment, then suddenly hugged his sword and burst into tears.
Chen Yang tried to sense it with his natural intuition, but he couldn't figure out what Monte's emotions were at that moment. They were just too complicated. Not only him, but the expressions of the other swordsmiths around him were also very complicated.
After a while, Monte wiped away his tears and solemnly said to the two of them, "Master Chen, Master Hong, please accept my sincerest apologies. I misunderstood you before."
Hong Gui quickly replied, "I can't call myself a master; my skill level is far inferior to yours."
Monte smiled wryly. If he didn't know the humble nature of the Chinese, he would have cursed them out.
This is what you call a huge difference?
Hong Gui seemed to realize that what he said was somewhat wrong, and looked to Chen Yang for help, as he was really not good at this kind of thing.
Chen Yang said, "We only have an advantage in terms of natural strength. In terms of technique, we are far inferior to you all and need to learn a lot."
That made me feel a bit better. There was really no way to imitate Chen Yang and Hong Gui's methods of building their bodies; it was purely because of their abnormal strength and physical abilities.
Chen Yang is a major pervert, Hong Gui is a minor pervert, both of them are perverts.
People shouldn't compare themselves to perverts.
