Chapter 74: Spirit Weapon Shaping, Sharpness Hard to Block!

Liang Qu soaked in the bathtub.

Awei crawled along his shoulder to the edge of the bathtub, its hundred feet hanging down. The two-finger-wide tub wall just happened to fit its body width, the two sticking together like installing a card slot.

The liquid in the bathtub was not a healing medicine, but a medicinal bath used in conjunction with Ape Punch.

The injuries from fighting the Mountain Ghost yesterday were almost healed after eating the flesh-repairing pills. Although he had bruises from sparring with Cao Shixiong Hu, they were not serious and didn't need special treatment.

The medicinal power integrated through the pores, strengthening the body bit by bit.

After the brown medicinal liquid soaked until it was pale yellow, Liang Qu stood up, wiped dry, put on a pair of pants, and practiced Ape Punch.

The exhausted blood *qi* was once again full, and the length and width increased slightly, which was indeed an extraordinary effect.

After finishing the activity, Liang Qu rinsed off the sweat with water, returned to the room, and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

Too many things happened in one day, and he was really too tired.

Early the next morning.

Liang Qu asked Chen Jiechang to run an errand to help him ask for leave at the academy, and then practiced with Hu Qi in the martial arts field.

The apprentices sat around watching, cheering when they saw Liang Qu have a brilliant counterattack, and booing when they saw him knocked down again.

Liang Qu was accepted as a personal disciple of the Yang family. Many apprentices were dissatisfied at first, thinking that person should be themselves, not a mud-legged person from Yixing City.

But now more than half a month had passed, and any dissatisfaction could only accept reality, slowly getting used to it, and the atmosphere between the two sides became relaxed.

Many clever ones wanted to invite Liang Qu to dinner to build a good relationship, but it was a pity that after Liang Qu became a disciple, he appeared less frequently in the martial arts hall, and never found a chance.

Among the apprentices, there were also a few who shouted "Mian Zai."

They joined later, and after hearing Liang Qu's story, they were amazed and completely worshipped him as an "idol."

They "looked forward" to one day encountering unfair treatment themselves, killing all directions, and being favored by a master.

It was normal. Most of those who came to learn martial arts were supported by their parents, fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenagers, whose heart blood was hot, completely unaware of how many people's unwillingness and sadness were buried under their vision.

"Hoo, drink."

Liang Qu was knocked back by Hu Qi again. His whole body skin was red, panting heavily, and the blood *qi* in his body was exhausted again.

This round this morning was already the second round.

Compared to being defeated at the first touch last night, he could now guarantee that he wouldn't mess up his *qi* within two or three moves, which could be said to be a huge progress.

Hu Qi was also surprised in his heart. Cultivation talent didn't mean fighting talent. There were many people who had quality but no performance.

Usually, cultivation base rises, but when it comes to actual combat, legs shake.

Liang Qu had good fighting talent, progressed extremely fast, and his fighting style was fierce. He absorbed experience as quickly as a cotton towel, and every time there was a new performance. He was a person who could use his brain.

Seeing Liang Qu stand up and want to continue, Hu Qi pointed the short stick to the ground and shook his head: "Temporarily stop here, it's already past noon, eat first, and after eating, you should go to Cao Shixiong Lu's side. After you come back, practice again, and restore your blood *qi* by the way."

Liang Qu turned to look at the copper pot dripping, and it did float to the noon position.

The apprentices dispersed in twos and threes.

Tired for half a day, Liang Qu had a great appetite, followed closely behind Cao Shixiong Hu to use chopsticks, finished four bowls of rice by himself, ate a lot of beef, and his whole body was warm.

After eating, he bid farewell to Hu Qi and hurried to Cao Shixiong Lu's residence.

After waiting for half a month, the spirit weapon was finally about to appear, and Liang Qu was really excited and hard to suppress.

The blacksmith shop was still quiet. Lu Gang didn't stand in front of the large red furnace, but turned to carve something on a mahogany table.

Looking closely, it was a gray-brown thin leather.

Cao Shixiong Lu used a dipping ink pen to draw mysterious patterns on it. Liang Qu stood quietly on the side, controlling his breathing, and didn't disturb him.

Along with the completion of the last stroke, the entire leather bloomed with silver light, and then the patterns disappeared.

Lu Gang wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained: "This is shadow beast skin, a kind of creature living between matter and shadow, with extremely high resistance. Later, your long spear shaping will depend on it."

Liang Qu didn't understand why shaping depended on a piece of leather, but he just nodded without making a sound.

This experience would be a valuable wealth. It was better to watch more and talk less.

When Lu Gang picked up the beast skin, he noticed that the texture of this skin was very strange, half-hidden and half-visible, as if it were illusory.

Truly magical.

In the large red furnace, the red fire mourning feather had been activated, and the golden energy continuously surged into a piece of red soft metal at the very top, and faint red silk overflowed.

It should be what Cao Shixiong Lu said, tungsten metal phase balance, only absorbing life energy, and discharging fire energy.

At this time, the golden energy was much weaker, and the entire forging process was already at the end of the second stage.

The first stage was tungsten metal softening, followed by thousands of hammerings to remove the dross and keep the essence, increasing toughness.

The second stage was to activate the energy within the mourning feather, letting it be absorbed by the tungsten metal.

Just as the golden flames were crumbling and about to dissipate, Lu Gang handed over a dagger and a bowl.

"Blood! Half a bowl!"

Liang Qu didn't say a word, picked up the dagger and cut it towards his palm, and the fresh blood flowed out.

Really painful!

Liang Qu grinned, cutting himself with a knife, especially when he was psychologically prepared, it was the most uncomfortable.

Half a bowl of fresh blood soon accumulated in the bowl. Lu Gang inserted his hand into a water tank on the side, reached out to take the blood bowl, put something in it, and then sprinkled a handful of silver powder into the furnace.

With a bang, the temperature in the entire furnace rose sharply, and Liang Qu was forced to take a step back.

Lu Gang reached his hand into the red furnace and poured fresh blood onto the softened metal.

Fresh blood collided with the hot metal, erupting with a violent blood mist.

A red bird phantom suddenly flew out of the tungsten metal, seemingly wanting to confront the fresh blood, but the residual spirituality was like a rootless tree, unable to last, and disappeared after only a moment.

Fresh blood flowed onto the metal that was about to liquefy, did not evaporate, did not bake into fragments, but quietly permeated into it, as if pouring half a bowl of blood onto cotton.

A faint sense of response rose in Liang Qu's heart.

Is this shaping?

It really feels like an extension of another body, Liang Qu thought.

When Lu Gang withdrew his hand, he threw the shadow beast skin out. The entire beast skin automatically wrapped around the metal like a blood-sucking bat. The silver light on the skin was bright, and the entire thin skin kept shrinking, gathering, and lengthening.

It was actually alive and pulled a piece of metal into the shape of a spear head!

Twelve inches, a spear head like half a sharp sword was pulled out without any obstruction, followed by the part of the spear rod wrapped behind the spear head, and the iron core extending from the middle!

Lu Gang reached out and grabbed a long wooden box placed on the table. After opening it, there were three wooden rods soaked in unknown oil, two black and one white. He took out the white one, and actually inserted it into the fire furnace!

The unknown oil ignited instantly, burning from the head to the entire wooden rod. Lu Gang didn't seem to feel pain, aimed the wooden rod at the iron core and inserted it, without any sense of stagnation.

After installing the entire long wooden rod, Lu Gang installed a spear butt at the end.

The shadow beast skin that originally only wrapped the spear head squirmed and wrapped the spear rod together, climbing and extinguishing the oil fire. After wrapping, it remained motionless.

About a quarter of an hour passed, and the shadow beast skin that hadn't moved squirmed again. It exited the part wrapping the spear head, only wrapped the spear rod, and the remaining part completely hardened into a shiny gray film.

Lu Gang breathed a sigh of relief, took the long spear out of the furnace with one hand, and handed it to Liang Qu.

"Okay."

Liang Qu: "???" ===== CHAPTER 75 =====
