Chapter 50: This sword is very promising.
Wei Yi did not continue to use the three-point technique. After all, he only had a little bit of writing skills.
It’s better to use it sparingly and use it wisely.
Afterwards, he began to practice the external skills of "Yi Jin Physique" again as before.
After some exercise, I was sweating profusely, but it also dispelled the early morning chill.
Nowadays, the advancement of fitness skills is just around the corner.
Calculated based on the current improvement speed, it is estimated that it will take another four or five hours to advance.
After eating breakfast, Wei Yi went to the Sword Making Division to prepare for the assessment of a fifth-grade sword making master.
Regarding this assessment, Wei Yi also told his aunt and sister in advance.
Naturally, my aunt and sister were surprised when they learned that Wei Yi was going to take the fifth-grade swordsmith examination.
After all, Wei Yi had only become a swordsmith not long ago.
But they were surprised. They actually didn't know how big the gap was between the ninth grade and the fifth grade.
In the past, they only knew about ninth-grade swordsmiths.
As for other grades, they actually don't have much idea.
And while they were surprised, they were more filled with expectation and happiness.
As Wei Yi's closest relatives, they naturally hope that Wei Yi will get better and better, and hope that he will become a more extraordinary person.
When Wei Yi arrived at the Sword Making Department, Du Yujiang was already waiting there.
Although he is not required to assist in proctoring the exam this time, he is not even allowed to watch.
And it takes at least two or three days to forge a sword.
But Du Yujiang still couldn't help but want to come over and witness the miracle.
He was even more nervous than Wei Yi at this time.
Although he always felt in his heart that Wei Yi had just become a ninth-level swordsmith, and he would directly cross the seventh level to attack the fifth level.
It's really too ambitious, and the probability of success may not be very high.
But he was looking forward to the miracle and Wei Yi could surprise him again.
So I was very conflicted inside.
He didn't even sleep well last night, and he wished he would know the same result today.
On the contrary, Wei Yi himself was in his usual state of mind, content and contented.
The original blacksmithing area in the yard of the Sword Forgery Department has now been completely enclosed by airtight wooden walls.
The swordsmith's assessment is in addition to the entry-level ninth-grade assessment.
The rest of the grade assessments need to be conducted in a closed environment.
Everything speaks for itself in terms of the quality of the final sword.
Wei Yi chatted with Du Yujiang for a few words and then officially started his assessment.
Du Yujiang and the people from the Sword Making Department also left the yard.
...
Inside Jianfeng Building.
"Fifth-grade swordsmith assessment? Are you sure you heard correctly?" Qiu Xuanji looked at Chen Fulai in front of him in surprise.
Not long ago, the Swordsmith Division sent news that Wei Yi had gone to take the fifth-grade swordsmith examination.
"That's right, it's the fifth-grade swordsmith assessment. They said that Wei Yi directly passed the seventh-grade and participated in the fifth-grade assessment!" Chen Fulai said with certainty.
"What does this kid want to do?" Qiu Xuanji couldn't understand.
Wei Yi has just become a ninth-grade swordsmith. If he is extremely talented, he has made new breakthroughs in a short period of time.
There was hope of becoming a seventh-grade swordsmith, and he thought it was entirely possible.
But if he went directly to take the fifth-grade test, he would be overestimating his abilities.
As a fifth-grade swordsmith, he knows better than anyone else how big the gap is between seventh-grade and fifth-grade swordsmiths.
Those are two completely different fields and different forging ideas.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is broken and then built.
The technical differences are like a chasm.
No matter how talented Wei Yi is, it is impossible for him to cross this gap in such a short time.
"Don't worry about it, it's just that you're full and have nothing to do!" Qiu Xuanji said with a sneer.
He didn't believe that Wei Yi had the ability to pass the fifth-grade swordsmith examination.
The assessment of the fifth-level swordsmith is not like the assessment of the ninth-level swordsmith, which requires the continuous forging of two swords.
Wei Yi only needs to forge a sword this time.
But the forging process of a five-jewel sword is much more complicated than that of a one-jewel sword.
The most important and complicated part is not the heat treatment process, but the alloy manufacturing process.
Wei Yi has many ways to make alloys in his mind. An alloy with the best performance needs to be matched through repeated tempering.
So near noon, a dense sound of beating suddenly sounded.
The clerk, Du Yujiang and others who were in the front hall couldn't help but get up in surprise and follow the sound.
Even though they can't see anything.
The speed of the beating seemed to be beyond the scope of human power.
I am afraid that only top-grade warriors can have such amazing explosive power.
Of course, Du Yujiang also knows that skills are close to Taoism.
Those master craftsmen who stand at the top may also have no cultivation.
But they can still possess certain abilities that are beyond ordinary people and have superb skills.
But Du Yujiang, who is also a swordsmith, knows very well.
How difficult it is to reach such a state of blacksmithing by relying solely on the strength of the mortal body.
The most important thing is how old Wei Yi is.
But Du Yujiang never dwells on things that he can't figure out.
After being surprised, Du Yujiang became even more excited.
Maybe, Wei Yi might actually create another miracle.
Wei Yi spent less than three days in total and finally completed this assessment.
When he took the newly forged sword, walked out of the yard and came to the swordsmith's front hall.
Du Yujiang was the first to rush forward.
He would come to the Sword Making Department almost every day these days, looking forward to Wei Yi completing the assessment.
I want to see the sword he forged with my own eyes.
"Wei Yi, let me see it quickly!" Du Yujiang looked excited and couldn't wait to take the sword from Wei Yi's hand.
This sword gives people an extremely extraordinary feeling just from its appearance.
The water ripples on the blade of the sword are like a flying dragon, and the silver light emitted is like the sudden appearance of thunder, which cannot be looked at closely.
Looking at this sword, Du Yujiang's heart beat hard.
Because this sword gave him the feeling that it really had the appearance and momentum of a five-jeweled sword.
Although he is not a fifth-grade swordsmith, he has passed through a lot of five-jeweled swords, and he still has basic taste skills.
But after all, the five-jeweled sword cannot be judged by its appearance alone.
Just seeing Wei Yi's sword made him feel a lot more at ease.
Let him look forward to the miracle even more.
At the same time, the chief minister Su He and several officials quickly gathered around, curiously looking at the newly forged sword by Wei Yi.
"The quality of this sword is really good!"
"Yes, it looks like a five-jeweled sword!"
"It does look extraordinary!" Su He discussed with the officials.
The eyes that looked at Wei Yi again were full of admiration.
Perhaps they still feel that the possibility of Wei Yi passing the fifth-grade swordsmith examination is not very high.
But no matter what, Wei Yi's ability to forge such an extraordinary sword is already very admirable.
Even if they don't succeed this time, they believe that Wei Yi will become a fifth-grade swordsmith in the near future.
Later, Du Yujiang and Commander Su He conducted a basic performance test on Wei Yi's sword.
As expected, there was nothing wrong with the sword at all.
They used this sword to chop the sword-testing stick used to test the three-jewel sword, just as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
At least it proves that its hardness and toughness have completely surpassed the three-jeweled sword.
There seems to be real hope of reaching the level of the five-jeweled sword.
But they dare not say so.
After all, they were unable to carry out the two most important aspects of performance of the Five Jewel Sword, which were also the most stringent tests.
One is the performance stability under different extreme environments, and the other is the resistance of the warrior's blood.
Only by passing these two tests can it be considered a truly qualified five-jeweled sword.
But no matter what, it at least proves that Wei Yi now has at least the strength of a seventh-grade swordsmith.
"Wei Yi, your sword is very promising!" Du Yujiang looked at Wei Yi happily, feeling that a miracle might really happen.
The Great Yan Dynasty may really be giving birth to the youngest fifth-grade swordsmith in history.
