Chapter 78 Neither of You Are a Match
Seeing the indifference of the blacksmith shop owner, Luo Fanchen rubbed his arm and said, "This thing looks good. I want it. Name your price."
"No need to pay. Just fight with me for a few moves. As long as you can last fifty rounds under my hands, I will give you this stone lock." The blacksmith answered without thinking.
After all, Luo Fanchen's small body didn't look like someone who could lift the stone lock, so the blacksmith shop owner didn't take Luo Fanchen seriously at all.
Even though he picked up the stone lock, the blacksmith still looked down on him.
The outer sects look down on the inner sects, and the more top-notch they are, the more they look down on them.
Just now, Luo Fanchen lifted up the stone lock. Although the blacksmith shop owner didn’t know how Luo Fanchen did it, it was definitely not done by his own strength.
After all, Luo Fanchen was not practicing an external sect, so he was not like the blacksmith shop owner, who needed these external objects to improve his strength. He sneered and said, "It's useless for me to have this stone lock. My brother wants it."
After saying that, Luo Fanchen pushed A Si out with all his strength and watched quietly what A Si would do.
Ah Si was originally watching the fun there, but he didn't expect to suddenly become Luo Fanchen's shield. He looked at Luo Fanchen with a shocked face and said, "I asked you to help me, not to cheat me."
He wanted Luo Fanchen to help him get the stone lock back, not to come back and get beaten again.
Wasn't the beating he just received not severe enough? Now he was beaten again, Ah Si glared at Luo Fanchen.
Now that he was dragged out by Luo Fanchen, Asi looked at the blacksmith shop owner with some guilt. After all, he had just been beaten by the man in front of him, and he was still somewhat scared.
The blacksmith shop owner saw Ah Si, paused for a moment, and said, "This stone lock is of some use to you, but, given your current condition, you simply cannot use it properly."
"If you insist on using this stone lock, it will be easy to go astray and injure your bones. It will be much more difficult for you to practice the supreme path in the future. I mean well, and I hope you can understand."
According to the observation of the blacksmith shop owner, Ah Si may be a master in the eyes of his peers, but he has never reached the right level. It is just like forging iron. No matter how good the iron is, if it is not heated to a certain level, it cannot be made into a good weapon.
The more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes. Only by learning the most appropriate things at the most appropriate time can you unleash the greatest power.
Ah Si didn't take the blacksmith's words seriously, thinking that he was looking down on him. He chuckled and continued, "You are not my father or mother, so how do you know that I can't use him correctly?"
"Alas, good words cannot persuade a damned ghost. If you want, just compete with me." After the blacksmith shop owner said this, he did not stop working, but continued to forge the iron in his hand.
"It's so lively, what are you doing here? Why didn't you call me?" Just when the situation was very stalemate, Liu Hu's voice suddenly came from mid-air.
It turned out that at some point, Liu Hu climbed up to the top of the wall and was looking at the people below with a look of watching a show on his face.
"Boss." Seeing Liu Hu, Luo Fanchen and Asi shouted in unison.
Neither of them expected Liu Hu to come, and to appear in this way.
Liu Hu waved his hands at the two of them, signaling them not to be polite, and continued: "Don't worry about me, just do what you need to do."
The two knew Liu Hu very well. Since Liu Hu said that, he must have his reasons. So the two turned around and looked at the blacksmith shop owner.
The blacksmith shop owner saw that the two men were serious today and would not give up easily without a fight, so he sighed.
"Didn't you say that we can just hold on for fifty rounds? When are we going to start?" When Asi saw Liu Hu coming, he felt more confident and shouted arrogantly.
The blacksmith shop owner was not polite and said directly: "Your strength is not enough for me to use the method of delaying time."
"Haha. What about me?" Luo Fanchen stepped forward and said.
He also realized that Ah Si alone would definitely not be a match for the other party. Although he always quarreled with Ah Si on weekdays, when it came to the crucial moment, the two of them were always working together.
When Ah Si heard what Luo Fanchen said, he laughed and said, "Okay, we two will meet you together."
Ever since the two of them were promoted to the seventh level, they have rarely fought together. Firstly, after practicing to the seventh level, their mentality has changed a lot, and they will not provoke others easily.
Secondly, the people they met were not top masters, so there was no need for two people to practice with them.
So when I heard Luo Fanchen say that he wanted to join forces, I felt excited. This feeling hadn't appeared for a long time.
"Don't hold me back." Luo Fanchen said coldly, drew out the Star Sword and stood in front of Asi, wanting to accept the attack from the blacksmith shop owner first.
Ah Si smiled foolishly, took out a big hammer from behind and said: "I can't pull your hind legs, so you'd better keep your hind legs."
Liu Hu was sitting and nearly fell down, thinking: If you guys want to fight, just fight, why bother involving me?
"Just fight properly and don't always involve me. If you can't win, just say so. Don't make so many excuses." Liu Hu sat on the wall and said sarcastically.
Xuemei pouted and said disdainfully, "From the looks of him, it's obvious that he's a ninth-level expert. With their seventh-level realm, it would be strange if they could win."
Because he had secretly gone to see Lan Xin before, Liu Hu punished her by asking her to bring him out. If Xuemei hadn't been there, he wouldn't have been able to climb such a high wall.
Liu Hu bent down and whispered in Xuemei's ear: "Don't underestimate my brother, or don't blame me for being rude."
Xuemei noticed that Liu Hu was serious and pouted her lips, not daring to speak. She didn't expect that Liu Hu, who looked casual, would be so protective.
After stretching his body, Ah Si asked the blacksmith shop owner, "How long will it take?"
"It's almost done." The blacksmith shop owner has reached the most critical moment. He keeps pouring water on the iron. When the water flows onto the red-hot iron, it makes a sizzling sound.
Liu Hu had sharp eyes and took a close look at what was in the blacksmith's hand. The weapon did not look like a sword or knife that was usually used, nor was it a heavy weapon like Asi's. Instead, it looked like a nine-section whip.
The nine-section whip could only be made after the iron smelting industry developed. In such an age of cold weapons, someone was able to forge a nine-section whip. Liu Hu found it very magical when he saw it.
He had only seen the nine-section whip on TV and had never seen it in real life, because in his mind, the nine-section whip was the least practical.
The actual combat performance is the worst. It is far inferior to the spear and bow. Now seeing this, how can I not be curious?
