#1712 - Force the king to use hammer technique!

Above the Weapon Forging Sect.

Zhao Guanlan was focused on forging, while Ji Dongfeng casually swung his forging hammer while munching on melon seeds. At this moment, the eyes of all the onlookers were fixed on Ji Dongfeng.

The reason was simple: many people suspected that Ji Dongfeng was using a set of forging methods that had been lost for a long time, and even the elders of the Weapon Forging Sect had this suspicion.

“The way he’s doing it looks like a random mess… there’s no method at all.” Du Hengjiang’s face was extremely gloomy, and he felt a surge of anger with nowhere to vent.

Lu Qianqiu heard this and said with a serious face: “It’s hard to say. As the saying goes, having no moves is better than having moves. If it’s really a lost forging method, it’s normal that we don’t understand it.”

Han Qiushi heard this and glanced up, noticing that many disciples were finding it difficult to concentrate, observing Ji Dongfeng while forging.

“Sigh… there are still too many people in the Weapon Forging Hall. The threshold should be higher.” Han Qiushi said.

Qian Hu’s expression changed upon hearing this, and he quickly said: “Yes, after this competition is over, I will properly discipline these good-for-nothings.”

“Yes, as members of the Weapon Forging Sect, they should understand a principle: once you enter the forging state, even if knives are falling from the sky, you must concentrate on completing the forging. Distraction is disrespectful to forging,” Han Qiushi said.

Two or three minutes later, some disciples successively raised the quality of their weapons to the Treasure grade. Although the speed was a bit slow, it could be considered exquisite technique. However, some disciples were distracted by observing Ji Dongfeng, causing them to panic and their weapons to be scrapped, forcing them to withdraw from the competition.

“Boom…”

In the next moment, light surged as Zhao Guanlan raised his weapon to the Immortal grade. However, he didn’t stop at all, but immediately took out higher-grade forging materials, focusing all his attention on forging and continuing the process.

At the same time, a wisp of translucent red heat emanated from Zhao Guanlan’s body. When the surrounding disciples saw this, their eyes lit up, and they showed respect.

“Not bad, Guanlan’s talent is indeed amazing. His innate forging talent seems to be getting more and more powerful,” Han Qiushi said with a smile, his eyes full of satisfaction.

Qian Hu heard this and said with a smug face: “That’s right, this talent allows him to more easily discover the weaknesses of forged objects, allowing him to be tireless and more focused. As long as we nurture him carefully, he will definitely be able to lead us to a higher level in the future.”

Han Qiushi chuckled upon hearing this and was about to speak when he noticed a flash of light in front of him. Looking down, he was shocked to find that Ji Dongfeng had already raised the quality of his long saber to the Saint grade!

“Thump!”

The moment they saw the Saint grade light, many Weapon Forging Hall disciples trembled, their minds in chaos, to the point where they accidentally lost their grip on their forging hammers in a panic!

Zhao Guanlan also trembled, but he didn’t look up, instead continuing to forge with all his might.

“Hmph! All those who dropped their forging hammers, withdraw from the competition immediately! You have already failed!” Han Qiushi snorted coldly, his face full of coldness.

As soon as he finished speaking, some Weapon Forging Hall disciples lowered their heads and withdrew from the competition. At this point, less than a hundred people remained in the competition.

Ji Dongfeng chuckled upon seeing this, not saying much. He casually forged while dividing his attention to observe the growth of various plants in his exclusive space.

The more Ji Dongfeng acted like this, the more the surrounding people believed that Ji Dongfeng was using an ancient forging method that had been lost for a long time!

“It must be a lost forging method! That’s a Saint grade! At this level of quality, luck is useless! If this isn’t a lost forging method! I’ll eat my forging hammer!”

“That’s right… at this point, we should be able to conclude that’s the case. Even if Ji Dongfeng’s luck is heaven-defying, it can’t be heaven-defying to this extent. It’s just that I’m blind and can’t see what the routine is.”

“If it were that easy to see, it wouldn’t be a lost forging method! Look carefully! Maybe it can improve our forging abilities a lot!”

“Look closely, doesn’t Ji Dongfeng’s posture of wielding the forging hammer look like a dragon! Hey, you know what, it’s quite rhythmic! The rhythm of this hammer strike is… clang… clang clang! Clang clang clang clang clang… clang clang!”

“Huh? Why is everyone staring at me? Even if this King of Pretense is handsome and imposing, you don’t have to stare at me like that.” Ji Dongfeng’s heart stirred, and he quickly noticed that everyone’s eyes were on him, and it wasn’t the mocking gaze from the beginning. At this moment, most people were looking at him with serious faces, seemingly wanting to learn something from him.

In the next moment, Ji Dongfeng glanced around, noticing that many Weapon Forging Hall disciples were imitating his movements, striving for the same angle and strength in their strikes!

However, these imitators quickly failed and withdrew regretfully. However, even after withdrawing, they still focused their attention on Ji Dongfeng, attributing their failure to not imitating him well enough.

Han Qiushi and the others naturally saw through everyone’s thoughts, but they didn’t stop them immediately, because they couldn’t completely determine whether Ji Dongfeng was just randomly swinging the hammer or if he really had a special forging method.

“Grand Elder… can… can you see through Ji Dongfeng’s methods?” Qian Hu asked cautiously.

Han Qiushi narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this and said: “I can’t see through it… Ji Dongfeng seems crazy and foolish, which makes him truly unpredictable. If he really possesses a lost forging method… it’s probably extremely profound. The person who created this forging method is above my level in forging.”

“Boom!”

Just as everyone was studying Ji Dongfeng’s forging method, Zhao Guanlan also raised his weapon to the Saint grade. However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, light flashed in front of Ji Dongfeng, and the quality of his long saber was raised to the God grade!

“God grade! It’s God grade! Ji Dongfeng! Tell us! What forging method are you using! Why can’t we see through it!” the onlookers exclaimed.

“There’s still an incense stick’s worth of time before this competition ends! Ji Dongfeng won’t forge a Venerable grade, will he! What kind of terrifying talent is this! If he joins the Weapon Forging Sect! I can’t even imagine what his position would be!”

“What are you all excited about! The entire Weapon Forging Hall is about to be defeated by an outsider! Aren’t you going to cheer for Senior Brother Zhao!”

“Ji Dongfeng! Teach me that forging method! I’m willing to become your disciple!”

Along with the shouts, many Weapon Forging Hall disciples were once again demoralized, and their forging successively failed. In the blink of an eye, only seven people remained on the field. Apart from Ji Dongfeng and Zhao Guanlan, the rest were still working hard to forge Immortal grade weapons.

Ji Dongfeng’s heart stirred upon hearing this. After a little thought, he understood why everyone’s eyes were on him.

“So that’s how it is… Hehehe, as the saying goes, if you have the chance to show off, you’re an idiot if you don’t.” Ji Dongfeng chuckled, then gripped the forging hammer and put on a serious expression.

“Listen up! My forging method is called the Unprecedented, Unrepeatable, Earth-Shattering, Awesome, Number One King of Pretense Hammer Technique!”
