_3 Chapter 1064: Chapter 358: Forging a Sword!

The Ordeal of Life and Death!

_3 In front of the forging furnace, Su Changkong worked with his strong upper body bare, hammering the block of iron before him.

For some reason, a sense of tranquility filled his heart, as if the iron block was his own heart, constantly purged of impurities and forged into steel.

Blocks of shapeless scrap iron turned into treasures under the hammer of Su Changkong’s forging.

“Brother Su, have some water.”
A delicate and beautiful girl approached Su Changkong, timidly offering a bowl of chilled plum juice.

This caused many in the forging room to cast envious and jealous glances, especially Zhou Pengfei, whose eyes nearly spewed flames of jealousy and resentment.

This girl was ‘Yan Yan’, the daughter of the old manor owner’s steward, undoubtedly the dream lover of all the young men in Bronze Villa, yet she had a particular fondness for the honest and low-profile Su Changkong.

“Mhmm.” Su Changkong felt somewhat embarrassed, took the bowl, drank it all in one gulp, then continued hammering the iron block before him.

After countless hammerings, a cold, gleaming, unyielding long knife was born from Su Changkong’s hands.

“Not bad.”

“It looks like the position of the Manor Lord is destined to be Su Changkong’s in the future.”
The others nodded in agreement, only Zhou Pengfei’s heart burned with even more jealousy.

Within Bronze Villa, Su Changkong had endured hardship and toiled for many years, growing into a man, but often felt annoyed and inexplicably irritable, wanting to destroy everything before him.

“Forging…

keep on forging!”
Forging was the only way Su Changkong could restrain these impulses.

“Clang, clang, clang!”
As Su Changkong vented his impulses, his hammer fell onto the iron block, making crisp, melodious metallic clanging sounds that to his ears were like the most wonderful music.

They brought a semblance of peace to his mood.

Time passed, and Su Changkong’s forging skills grew even more refined.

No one in Bronze Villa could match him.

The people in the Villa grew increasingly admiring and respectful toward Su Changkong, and his relationship with Yan Yan, the Manor Lord’s daughter, naturally progressed to the point where marriage was on the horizon.

“Su Changkong, tonight, outside Bronze Villa in the small grove, let’s have a duel like men.

Whoever loses must leave Yan Yan and Bronze Villa!”
One day, an envious Zhou Pengfei approached Su Changkong and angrily issued a challenge to a duel.

“I’m not interested.” But Su Changkong shook his head, unwilling to entangle himself with Zhou Pengfei over such a meaningless and childish wager.

In the evening of that day, Su Changkong heard the news about Zhou Pengfei.

The Manor Lord, having learned of Zhou’s troublemaking aimed at Su Changkong, was furious and severely punished Zhou Pengfei.

A few days later, Su Changkong never saw Zhou Pengfei again.

Unable to remain in Bronze Villa, Zhou left quietly, without saying goodbye to anyone.

This was merely a minor episode for Su Changkong.

Each day for Su Changkong passed in tranquility, with the forging of weapons being his only task.

Su Changkong’s skill in weapon forging became more and more masterful, becoming famous far and wide.

Even martial artists from nearby regions traveled long distances, willing to offer large sums of gold, just to have him craft a weapon for them.

Su Changkong excelled at forging, especially forging swords!

The swords he forged were indomitable, sharp enough to cut hair blown across them and slice through iron as if it were mud!
