Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 234: Learn to Forge
On the way back Zhang Yu occasionally dived in how to forge weapons with the help of Long Shen. However, learning the forging process was really not an easy matter for ordinary people like him.
Moreover, Zhang Yu still had to take turns controlling the ship once every three days. Of course, all of these things are not a reason to give up. Zhang Yu was trying to make the most of each time by just focusing on learning about it.
Exactly as he is doing right now. Zhang Yu locked himself in his room while holding a lower grade sword.
The first thing a forger needs to do when going to improve the quality of a weapon is to fuse the weapon.
It sounds simple, but this process is really complicated because forging must ensure it does not damage its original quality.
Zhang Yu had already used more than twelve lower-grade weapons within fourteen days. But not once did it work out which was quite frustrating.
"Are you going to try again?" ask Long Shen.
Seeing Zhang Yu's state like this made Long Shen a little worried. Not only did he train very hard, but he also had to control the ship. Both of them require a lot of energy.
No one knew whether his body was capable of accepting the consequences.
"It's best to rest today. There is still one day before you take turns controlling the ship" Long Shen said.
But Zhang Yu instead took out his thirteenth sword from the storage ring.
"No need to ignore my condition. You just need to observe the process of fusing the weapons I did."
Long Shen was like advising a stone. It might even soften the stone as time goes on. But Zhang Yu was really stubborn.
"Whatever. Do it if you want to do it. I don't care even if you faint exhausted."
Zhang Yu had really started the process. Long Shen clucked as Zhang Yu did not pierce his sentence at all.
"Curtain! That's right," he lamented.
Each of his sentences seemed to no longer care about what Zhang Yu was doing. But Long Shen continued to watch over him without turning away.
"Hopefully this time there is development" he said very softly.
At this moment Zhang Yu was already at the most important phase of the smelting process. Using the soul force to separate the sword structure then melted it down in one go without damaging its quality.
It was in this process that Zhang Yu failed many times. But every failure becomes a benchmark to take the next step. Each development he gathered into one. Now, he had one clue which was the main reason why he wanted so badly to do it.
Long Shen who had only been paying attention now seemed to be watching closely. He was really shocked when he saw the signs Zhang Yu would succeed in the smelting process. He even lost the word to express his delight now.
"This boy ... In-he really tried," Inner Long Shen.
Next Long Shen climbed onto Zhang Yu's shoulder and gave him some input.
"Defense your soul force while trying to separate the components of his sword ... Yeah, like that! Goody! You'll be able to do it."
Zhang Yu followed Long Shen's direction by maintaining his soul force. After working hard in the past hour, finally that lower grade sword actually managed to be melted down.
Efforts that are not in vain! Zhang Yu was very satisfied that he had successfully completed the process of fusing weapons.
"Don't be too happy. You did manage to fuse a weapon, but it was just a lower-class weapon. Especially after fusing the weapon you must unify the materials and enter the formation process. It's too early to celebrate success."
Long Shen's sentence made Zhang Yu's smile restrained. Right now was truly a happy enough moment since Zhang Yu had just made it after a days trial.
Regardless of what he said was very true, but it really ruined the atmosphere.
"Emn ... If you think back, maybe being happy now is not a bad thing either. Isn't that right, Zhang Yu?"
But Zhang Yu walked out of the room without concern for Long Shen's words.
The abandoned Long Shen tried to catch up. "Hey! Where're you?! Let's relax to celebrate. You need to rest."
Zhang Yu ignored him again.
"Hey! If you don't rest, it will also affect me" Long Shen exclaimed.
Long Shen chased Zhang Yu to the exit. He thought Zhang Yu would be prepared to continue the forging process. But who would have thought that Zhang Yu was instead lying on the rocking chair that was on the front deck of the ship.
"So this is what you're gonna do?" ask Long Shen.
Zhang Yu laughed mockingly. "What else is it? I need to rest as you say."
Long Shen was annoyed to the point of being speechless. He said he was twitching because of his bad mood.
"This brat! He's really playing me!"
Zhang Yu did not say anything more. He closed his eyes while trying to enjoy the wind.
"Nearly a month we're traveling. I don't know how much longer it will take us to reach Zhen Yang Mainland" Zhang Yu muttered.
If counted since being caught in the turbulence of space, they had already left Zhen Yang Mainland three months. Somehow the people are there. Specialized Xuan Yin his wife. Zhang Yu really regretted every time he thought about it. He just hopes everyone there is okay.
"Zhang Yu, isn't there a land ahead? Let's see!" Long Shen stood on top of the lion statue that was at the front of the ship.
Zhang Yu who heard about the mainland immediately got up from his seat and immediately walked over to Long Shen.
"Where?"
Long Shen laughed. "Ahead. Isn't that land?"
Zhang Yu looked in the same direction. But it was not land as he had hoped, but an underwater mountain that penetrated to the surface. Even high above the water is only a few meters. Long Shen had really played him.
Guiltless Long Shen laughed quite loudly. Zhang Yu who was paying attention instantly turned gloomy.
Wush...
The whirlwind pulled Long Shen's body into the bracelet. There was nothing Long Shen could do but shout from within the bracelet.
"Zhang Yu's! Eject me!"
But Zhang Yu did not hear his sentence and returned to his seat.
"Because you're so eager inside the bracelet, then just stay inside longer."
"You're outrageous! Get me out now!" Long Shen rampaged inside the bracelet. But slowly he realized it was completely useless. So Long Shen had to change his ways and pleaded with Zhang Yu.
Although it didn't work out at first, but he was finally able to come out after some time.
"Excession! I am the dragon god. How could I possibly have begged him. It's not cool."
Zhang Yu gave a triumphant smile. He paid no heed to the disheveled face that Long Shen showed. It was a lesson for playing him.
