I forged swords at Lingjian Mountain.

"If I used all the materials I had to forge the [Heavy Mountain Greatsword], I could probably get more than 400 experience points, not just 300."

Lin Kong glanced at the materials inside his backpack.

Although there are many materials available, these materials come in many different types, and not all of them can be used to forge the [Heavy Mountain Greatsword].

However, getting over 400 experience points shouldn't be a problem.

"With over 400 experience points... even if I choose to unlock the subsequent illustrations of either the [Heavy Mountain Greatsword] or the [Shadow Blade], the remaining experience points will be enough for me to upgrade my buildings."

Lin Kongxin made an analysis.

Building reinforcement is also key to sect development, requiring a high amount of experience points.

Upgrading the [Star-Pointing Sword Tomb] requires a full 297 experience points.

Even though you can gain experience by forging the [Heavy Mountain Greatsword], you must allocate your resources carefully.

If you use all your resources to unlock the level 2 sword encyclopedia, you definitely won't have enough for the buildings.

Therefore, what he needs to consider is...

Should I unlock the subsequent illustrations for the [Heavy Mountain Greatsword] first, or the [Shadow Blade]?

You can only choose one of the two.

"The benefit of unlocking the [Heavy Mountain Greatsword] Level 2 illustration is that you may gain more experience points."

"And the level 2 version of the [Shadow Blade] will be even more powerful."

Lin Kong fell into deep thought.

He prefers to unlock the [Heavy Mountain Greatsword].

After all, the main purpose of unlocking the level 2 illustration is for the subsequent building upgrades.

For buildings like the [Starry Sword Tomb], a level 2 sword is required as a material to unlock them.

At the same time, it will definitely take a lot of materials to forge a level 2 sword.

Lin Kong didn't think that unlocking the level 2 illustration would be as easy as forging a level 1 sword.

It is estimated that at most only one can be forged at that time.

This sword can only be used to reinforce buildings.

"The [Chongyue Greatsword] and [Black Shadow Sleeve Blade] are sufficient for Nie Shuang and Lin Huiyue now. There is no need to rush to forge level 2 swords for them."

"After all, the quality of the level 1 swords I forge is far superior to those on the market."

"What's more, there are additional bonuses!"

While thinking about it.

Lin Kong picked up the previously forged [Chongyue Greatsword], and a screen of light immediately appeared in his vision.

[Choosing the Heavy Mountain Greatsword provides additional bonuses]

【1. Intimidation】

【2. Overcoming Resistance】

"As expected, different weapons have different additional bonuses."

Lin Kong's eyes flickered.

This was just as he had guessed.

He even discovered that he could click on the two bonuses to see their specific effects.

[Intimidation]

[Effect: The sword strike carries a powerful psychological pressure, instilling fear in the opponent, weakening their will to resist, and causing their movements to stiffen. The greater the strength of the swordsman, the stronger the pressure.]

[Breaking Through Barriers]

[Effect: Subtle changes in the sword's lines and structure significantly reduce resistance during swings, thereby increasing swing speed.]

……

have to say.

Both of these bonus effects are very suitable for the [Heavy Mountain Greatsword].

One is the ability to create powerful pressure, causing the enemy to lose their fighting spirit.

One is to reduce sword resistance and increase the speed of sword swing.

Anyway, I'll be forging a lot of [Heavy Mountain Greatsword] to gain experience.

We can give Lin Huiyue two [Chongyue Greatswords] with different bonus effects and see which one suits her better.

Lin Kong then picked up the Shadow Sleeve Sword.

[Choosing the Shadow Blade provides additional bonuses]

【1. Empty sound】

[Effect: Subtle changes occur in the sword's structure, creating different sounds depending on the speed of the strike, making it difficult for the target to discern the correct attack direction.]

2. Blinding

[Effect: The sword's structure changes again; upon being drawn, it reflects a bright light, briefly blinding the target.]

……

The additional bonuses of the Shadow Blade mainly involve visual and auditory interference.

Both of these are good.

That way, Nie Shuang can have one in each hand.

After reviewing the additional bonuses of these two swords.

Lin Kong then began forging the [Chongyue Greatsword] to quickly increase his experience points.

He gained 474 experience points in one go.

Then, among the two branches of the [Heavy Mountain Greatsword], I chose the [Sky-Supporting Greatsword] branch to unlock.

call!

As it unlocks.

The specific forging method of the [Sky-Supporting Giant Sword] immediately came to Lin Kong's mind.

He discovered.

The materials required to forge the Sky-Supporting Greatsword are even greater than those required to forge the Heavy Mountain Greatsword.

At the same time, it is also necessary to use [rare and high-quality materials].

Good timber is usually divided into "common good timber" and "rare good timber".

Materials like Qingfeng Copper and Black Iron are simply considered "ordinary good materials".

Rare and high-quality materials are much more valuable than ordinary and high-quality materials.

Even the cheapest type of rare and high-quality material costs over one hundred taels of silver.

Furthermore, some rare and high-quality materials cannot be bought simply with money.

"Luckily, I bought a [Rare and High-Quality Material] beforehand..."

Lin Kong had a premonition that the swords to be made later would likely require the use of rare and high-quality materials.

I bought one in advance.

Now it can be used to forge the [Sky-Supporting Giant Sword].

He immediately took out a number of materials from his backpack and placed them together with the [Chongyue Greatsword].

A punch landed.

when!

All these materials were incorporated into the [Heavy Mountain Greatsword] in front of them, and a countdown timer was displayed—

12 minutes!

When the time comes.

hum!

The original [Chongyue Greatsword] was instantly enveloped in a white light.

next second.

The sword body of the [Chongyue Greatsword] rapidly expanded and grew larger.

It transformed directly into a six-foot-long, thick-spineed, deep black greatsword with a texture resembling mountain rocks, exuding a strong visual pressure.

……

The next day at noon.

Lin Kong began to test Nie Shuang and the other two's mastery of the "Basic Sword Techniques".

They were only given one day.

However, the three individuals have different qualifications and circumstances, and their future development paths will also differ.

Within a day, you can basically see the kendo path that suits them.

Lin Kong discovered it.

Their situation was roughly as he had initially anticipated.

Nie Shuang has the deepest mastery of "Basic Sword Techniques".

With his exceptional comprehension, he mastered most of the "Basic Sword Techniques" in just one day.

Next is Wang Tiancong. Although he hasn't reached Nie Shuang's level, he has already made a start.

As expected, Lin Huiyue was the worst.

She said she couldn't understand "Basic Sword Techniques" at all.

I'm starting to doubt whether I'm really suited to sword practice.

Lin Kong was not surprised by this.

Although Lin Huiyue's swordsmanship aptitude is superb, her comprehension is only 3 points.

It's normal not to understand it.

She was never able to practice swordsmanship systematically and methodically like a regular swordsman.

In this regard.

Lin Kong provided a solution.

"You don't need to practice swordsmanship like them."

"You just need to focus on slashing."

"Practice the slashing move repeatedly every day. Just practice this one move. You don't need to practice anything else."

Lin Huiyue blinked.

She couldn't learn those complicated sword moves, but slashing was still very simple.

She was just unsure whether simply practicing slashing and cutting would truly enable her to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the Linjian Sect.

"Believe me."

Lin Kong was very confident.

In a game, the "Slash" move can actually be considered a skill.

However, the maximum level of other sword cultivators' [slashing] technique might only be level 3.

But with Lin Huiyue's talent in swordsmanship, she can train her [Slash] skill all the way up to level 99!

A level 99 cleave attack...

Although Lin Kong had never seen it, he could imagine how terrifying it would be!

"then."

Lin Kong returned to his room, took out a large sword that was as black as ink, and tossed it to Lin Huiyue.

"From now on, you will use this sword to practice slashing."

Lin Huiyue reached out and caught the [Chongyue Greatsword]. Even though the sword was incredibly heavy, she was able to hold it steadily and even tried swinging it a few times. Her little face was full of surprise, and she found the sword quite handy.

Nie Shuang and Wang Tiancong, who were standing nearby, clearly saw that when Lin Huiyue caught the [Chongyue Greatsword], the floor tiles beneath her feet instantly cracked under the astonishing weight, and cracks quickly spread out.

"How heavy must this sword be!?"

Both of them were deeply shaken.

They knew that Lin Huiyue was strong since childhood, but they never expected that such a heavy sword would be the most suitable for her.

They were all surprised that Lin Kong knew Lin Huiyue better than they did.

Nie Shuang even realized...

The [Heavy Mountain Greatsword] was noticeably lighter in Lin Kong's hands than it was in Lin Huiyue's!

Lin Kong even lifted the greatsword with one hand and tossed it to Lin Huiyue.

"Senior Brother... he also possesses terrifying strength!! And it's even more terrifying than Junior Sister's strength!!"

Nie Shuang was deeply shaken.

He realized that his understanding of Lin Kong over this period of time was still only superficial.

He increasingly felt that the other person possessed an aura that only legendary immortals could have.

Unfathomable, unfathomable, and unfathomable!

Lin Kong then took out two more Shadow Sleeve Swords and handed them to Nie Shuang.

Nie Shuang's biggest problem lies in her legs and feet.

Wheelchairs have limited flexibility, and they can be very troublesome when encountering martial artists who are skilled in agility.

He can only use his internal energy to activate the hidden sword for long-range shooting.

Alternatively, wait for the target to get close and then strike faster than the target to kill them.

Therefore, Nie Shuang's swordsmanship focuses primarily on speed and concealment!

At the same time, the cultivation of internal strength is also extremely important.

Lin Kong directly gave Wang Tiancong a [Azure Pattern Sword] with a sharpness enhancement.

he knows.

Given Wang Tiancong's aptitude, he certainly won't make much progress in either internal strength or swordsmanship in the short term.

He has a sharpened [Azure Pattern Sword] in his hand.

Wang Tiancong also possesses considerable combat strength.

After all, given the sharpness of the Azure Pattern Sword, if you were grazed by it, you would be severely injured even if you didn't die.

"If you want to cultivate a mediocre disciple like Wang Tiancong, you have to rely on buildings that can improve his aptitude and strengthen his foundation."

Lin Kong seemed to be deep in thought, preparing to begin the building reinforcement process.

at the same time.

After he handed the swords to the three men in turn.

A system notification suddenly sounded in my ear.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon a sword suitable for a sect disciple and established an initial sword training strategy, triggering the sect quest—Sword Dao Sect!]

[Sect Quest: Swordsmanship Sect]

[Task Requirements: Within 10 days, ensure all disciples of the sect master the basics of swordsmanship, thus establishing the sect as a sword-wielding sect.]
