"This saber was forged using a secret technique. It can cut through iron like mud. There are few weapons in the world that can compare to it.”
"You can name it yourself."
Zhang Mu's calm voice sounded in everyone's ears.
" Secret forging?"
"There are few weapons in the world that can compare to it?”
Huang Zhong and the others immediately perked up and looked at the saber in the arena.
To a general, the greatest ambition and honor was to be conferred the title of Wolf and the title of Marquis.
However, the three things that generals loved the most were weapons, armor, and mounts.
As the saying goes," Fame is only obtained on horseback. A hero is a man." With excellent equipment, a man would naturally rely on his own hands to achieve something.
"Hiss!"
However, when they saw the appearance of the weapon in the arena, a burning light appeared in the eyes of Huang Zhong and the other two.
The shape of this saber was similar to the Han Saber (Ring-Head Saber). The body of the saber was about two and a half feet long. It was straight and upright. It had the "air of a king of swords and the air of a tyrant of sabers". There was a cold light flashing on the body of the saber, showing its sharpness.
This was a peerless saber!
As generals, the three of them immediately made the most accurate judgment about this saber.
"My Lord, can I take a look at this saber?”Huang Zhong could not help but ask.
He was proficient in both saber and arrow, and seventy percent of his close combat skills were on his saber. His desire for a good saber far surpassed Xu Chu and Chen Dao.
This saber was also given to Huang Xu by Zhang Mu. As his father, there was no problem for him to take a look, right?
"Han Sheng, please."
Zhang Mu smiled and raised his hand.
"Sorry for being rude!"
Huang Zhong bowed to Zhang Mu and no longer held back. He walked into the arena and picked up the long saber to examine it carefully.
The more he looked, the more he liked it.
"Tsk!"
With a light wave of his hand, the sharp sound of air being torn rang out, causing the eyes of the generals to shine.
"Good saber!"
Huang Zhong couldn't help but praise. Without any hesitation, he pulled out the saber at his waist and threw it to Huang Xu."Xu 'er, chop it over."
In this era, steel sabers were not only used on the battlefield, but also held a noble status in the officialdom. From the emperor to the officials, all of them carried sabers. Even sabers could indicate the status of the nobles. There were extremely strict explicit regulations on the shape and decoration, and no one was allowed to exceed them.
Huang Zhong was now white, and the steel knife he carried was not a decoration. It was a treasured knife passed down from generation to generation in the Huang family. It was extremely tough and was worth a hundred gold coins.
"Father?" Huang Xu hesitated.
When the two blades clashed, whether it was the treasured sword passed down in his family or the new blade that his lord had just given him, he could not bear to part with it.
"Chop!" Huang Zhong's eyes turned solemn.
The test was supposed to be held on the drill ground, not indoors.
However, Zhang Mu clearly didn't care about these details by bestowing the treasured saber here.
"Yes!"
Seeing Huang Zhong's insistence, Huang Xu didn't dare to disobey. He took a deep breath and raised the treasured saber in his hand.
"Bang!"
"Cha!"
Under the collision, although Huang Zhong's original saber did not split into two, a huge gap appeared.
This saber could no longer be used!
Xu Chu and Chen Dao's eyes lit up.
They only felt that Zhang Mu's saber was good, but they couldn't tell how good it was. This was due to the limitations of the times.
However, they had the right to speak about the ring-head saber that Huang Zhong had taken out. They knew that it was a good saber in the current era. It had been tempered at least 80 times and was close to the top of the Hundred Refinement!
However, when the two blades collided, Huang Zhong's saber was already mostly destroyed.
"Could this be…Is it an immortal saber?"
Everyone was shocked.
Zhang Mu wasn't surprised at all.
Ironware had appeared as early as the Shang Dynasty, but most of them were made of meteoric iron, and their hardness was far inferior to bronze, so they were not valued.
It wasn't until the early Warring States period that the iron-making process improved and someone invented the quenching method to increase the hardness of iron that iron swords were able to be forged into weapons on par with bronze.
However, the Qin Dynasty used bronze weapons to unify the world. It could be seen that the iron-making process was not considered strong.
In the Western Han Dynasty, the Yan Huang Empire had the earliest steel-making technique," Stirring Steel ". Steel weapons were harder than bronze weapons, and the cost was extremely low, completely eliminating them.
In the current Han Dynasty, most of the generals used weapons forged from steel, while the divine weapons were forged from Meteoric Metal by famous masters. (Meteoric iron is hard enough, and the technique of a famous expert is good. Otherwise, it won't be able to withstand more tempering.)）
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the "steel pouring method" replaced the hundred refining method. The knives refined were tougher and sharper, and the world-famous Tang Dao appeared!
Tang Swords were generally divided into three types: ceremonial saber, Zhang saber, and horizontal saber. Zhang Dao was a knife worn by ordinary officials. The horizontal saber was a saber that was specially used to equip the army.
The knife that Zhang Mu gave Huang Xu was a high-speed steel knife that he had spent a lot of money to custom-make in modern time and space. Its hardness far exceeded the iron swords and knives of this period, and its style was custom-made according to the horizontal knife.
A high-speed steel saber, and a steel saber forged by the steel infusion method, not to mention a hundred refined saber that had not even been refined a hundred times.
"Good saber, really good saber!"
Huang Zhong caressed the blade, unable to put it down.
Huang Xu recalled that gaze and realized that it was similar to Huang Zhong's gaze when he looked at his mother.
"Father, this was given to me by the lord.”Huang Xu said eagerly.
The heirloom saber had been lost by Huang Zhong, but this better saber couldn't be lost too, right?
"I know." Huang Zhong glared at Huang Xu.
At this moment, he realized that his son was no longer as cute as before.
Perhaps he was relieved after his body recovered?
Huang Zhong had no intention of returning the knife. He thought for a moment and said,"Since the family heirloom has been destroyed, this new sword given by the lord will be the new heirloom.”
"Father will use it first and will naturally pass it to you in the future.”
Huang Xu:
Could this be the reason why you insist on me using my heirloom to resist?
But what could he do if he asked?
"Humph, you're so shameless.”
Just as Huang Xu was about to agree, no one expected Xu Chu to speak up for justice at this moment."This is a treasured saber bestowed by the lord. How dare you take it by force?”
Zhang Mu was speechless.
A commoner is going to learn how to scold a commoner?
What a nice way to put it.
If it wasn't for your fiery eyes and envious face, I would have been touched.
Just say it!
