Thankfully, there are still a few casks left.""Oh, that's fine then, everyone come and drink... This is my wine, you have to be careful with it..." The young miss added, not forgetting to give the unc...Chapter 195: Peerless Sword - Part 2

Soon, the lottery is completed, and everyone receives what they are to work on in their respective workshops. At this point, preparations begin, starting with the melting of ingredients for each sword. Since the characteristics of different swords vary, they require distinct materials. If ordinary materials are used, they won't be able to fully exploit the sword's unique qualities.

If that's the case, the sword produced then will definitely be outdone by Princess Wenya. This is just one step of many!

The每一個步驟, every detail in the process of forging a sword, becomes decisive for success or failure. These are the questions that Princess Wenya's test-takers grapple with, hence, in this place, every individual aspires to impress Princess Wenya. Every step must be executed perfectly, at least better than others.

While everyone was pondering the materials, Xiangyao suddenly appeared and left his workshop, walking in a certain direction!

Soon, Xiao Ya's bizarre behavior was noticed. The young talents who participated in the competition looked at Xiao Ya curiously, wondering what she was planning to do. Meanwhile, Princess Wenya had already walked towards Xiao Ya.

"Young prince, what are you doing Are you giving up on forging swords"

"No, let's not talk about the sword forging for now. That sword..."

This sword is placed within a delicate mechanism, which serves to shield against the elements rather than prevent theft. The security measures here are already at their maximum level. If one could bypass these defenses, the mechanism would serve no purpose other than being redundant.

This delicate mechanism can shield against wind and rain, yet it allows everyone in the entire venue to see this sword without any obstruction of vision. It's like a showcase.

Since Xiao Ya mentioned the sword, Empress Princess Wenya knew what he meant. She did not stop him from doing so and followed Xiao Ya to stand in front of the sword for a while.

"The unparalleled duo swords" Xu You looked at it for a while and asked uncertainly.

The sword, from its appearance, is the unparalleled one. But how did the unparalleled sword end up here This is something that Xiang You couldn't be certain about. He wanted to ask.

"Correct, this is the Double-edged Sword technique! Your eyes are good indeed!" Princess Wenya said.

"Really You just leave the Immortal Pair Sword here This is your national treasure, leaving it like this, aren't you afraid that it might be stolen" asked Xiao Yaoyao in puzzlement.

"This is the most well-defended area of the entire Bo Yue defense system. If someone can steal from here, they could do so anywhere else as well," Princess Wenya explained with a smile.

For Prince Wenya's words, Xiangyao did agree that this was indeed the most protected area. However, he still felt like there was something off about it: "That may be true, but the fact that you're just openly declaring your location versus hiding it makes me think that hiding is preferable! At least, others would have to know where you're hiding first!"

"We don't need to hide the pair of unmatched swords. We should hide other divine weapons because these are things that others don't know about, whereas the pair of unmatched swords is known to the entire world. Even if they were stolen, who would be able to use them" Princess Wenya asked in return.

Xiao Yaosid for a moment, thinking that indeed this was the case. Even if the dual swords were stolen, it would be something done in secret and could not be used without being discovered.

And this time, if Xuanyuan were to hand over the Invincible Dual Swords to Ning Zhiyuan, Ning Zhiyuan would also only be able to collect it but not use it!

Moreover, while the Twin-Master Swords are indeed significant to Baiyue Country, they are not the sole or even the most important. There are many other divine weapons in Baiyue Country besides the Twin-Master Swords, including those from the past and present, as well as those yet to come!

Thus, even if the pair of divine weapons were to be lost, it would merely mean that Bhavaya had lost a sacred tool; nothing more!

The Myriad-Matching Sword, instead of being kept in storage at the Hundred Tribulations State, serves a more significant purpose - it can stimulate the creation of many fine weapons!

In Wushuang Sword's presence, it not only allows swordsmiths to admire their craftsmanship but also serves as an incentive for them to improve!

"Besides, this peerless sword is about to become my dowry. Whoever marries me for the first time could have this peerless sword, why should I hide it if I'm going to give someone as a gift" Princess Wenya looked at Xuanxu, her gaze seemed to convey that if he wanted the peerless sword, he should marry her.

"...”Xiaoyao fell into silence, pretending as if he didn't see it and not knowing what to do.

"May I take a look after a moment" asked Qixiao.

“Yes, you are a swordsmith, of course you can!!” Princess Wenya nodded. Xiao Ya's identity was not important to her; she would allow him as long he was a swordsmith, because she herself was also a swordsmith and understood the allure of divine weapons.

Moreover, just looking doesn't cause any problems. If it were to damage one by looking, then it wouldn't be a divine weapon!

Moreover, there's a possibility that Xiang you might be the future master of this Shuangjian. Checking it out beforehand, what's the harm in that

"Surely a great sword!! The craftsmanship is simply perfect..."

Yao Xiao gently stroked the Twin-Bladed Sword, as if caressing his dearest lover. This only strengthened Princess Wenya's conviction that逍遙was undoubtedly a master blacksmith.

Xiaoyao looked at it very slowly, as if he didn't want to miss any detail of this incomparable sword. Thus, he stared at it for a full ten minutes before finally stopping.

For the duration of this ten minutes, Princess Wenya did not find it tedious; instead, she thought it was too fast. Previously, she had planned to wait for Xiao Xiang to take more time since she herself had experienced such situations before. Back then, it took her an entire hour, whereas Xiao Xiang only needed ten minutes now.

This could mean that his insight is particularly keen, being able to read it in just ten minutes; or does it simply suggest that he is merely glancing through it, with no intention of reading it thoroughly

In Princess Wenya's gaze, Xiangyuan slowly placed the pair of Invincible Swords back in its original spot with great respect. After a moment of silence, he then turned and left.

In Princess Wenya's eyes, Xiao Yaoyao should have realized something profound to hold the Voidpair Swords in such respect. It was time for him to start forging his own swords and move on from these matters.

"Smelting sword, with one heart and soul!!"

At this moment, if Princess Wenya could have guessed what Xiangyao was thinking, she would definitely be utterly confused and have no idea what Xiangyao was thinking!

I knew this wouldn't be as simple as they said, and sure enough, there's something fishy going on. That's why the emperor warned that we need to get the twin swords, even more so than preventing the marriage alliance with the Gluttonous Wolf Empire. The most important thing is those twin swords.

Now I get it, he's after this Doublesword Sword for sure. I wonder where he got the information from, that there's actually such a thing!

Is逍遙's mind feeling chaotic

Actually, the question is quite straightforward. Xiangyao was pondering about the pair of Twin Superb Swords because he realized what Ning Zhiyuan's true intention was - it's all about those Twin Superb Swords!!

To say that the pair of celestial swords are divine weapons, but with Ning Zhiyuan's power, he probably wouldn't pay too much attention to such divine weapons. He would have one if available, but it's fine if he doesn't.

If Xu Erlang hadn't touched this sword and if he didn't know so much, he might not have realized that the Wielder Sword wasn't just a divine weapon. There was actually something hidden inside it.

When Free Spirit realized just now, there were some ingenious mechanisms in the peerless sword. There was still something hidden inside this sword!

The mechanism is so tiny, minuscule in fact, that aside from逍遙, no one could easily spot it. Even if this sword were in the hands of Ning Zhiyuan, the intricacies within it might not be discernible unless they knew how to utilize its capabilities.

And judging by Ning Zhiyuan's attitude, he should know something. He should be able to open this sword!

Meanwhile, Xiangyao felt puzzled. It seemed that the people of Biyue Country were unaware of the mysteries within this sword, yet why would Ning Zhiyuan know Was it just a coincidence that Ning Zhiyuan wasn't seeking the secrets within the sword, but perhaps for other reasons

Xiaoyao was a little perplexed, thus he abandoned those notions. He decided to stick with his original plan: causing chaos first and then finding a way to replace the Invincible Duo Swords. As for crafting dull swords, he could handle that casually whenever it was necessary since he didn’t actually want to win.

"Prince Cheng, what kind of sword are you looking to create" Daoxuan went up to greet Li Cheng instead of returning to his workshop, trying to gather information.

"A giant sword!" Li Cheng frowned and replied. He didn't know if he frowned because he disliked Xiangyao disturbing him, or if it was just his bad luck picking the most troublesome one.

"It's quite simple actually. Although this greatsword is bigger, its distinctive feature lies in its size—the wide blade doesn't require attention to flexibility or fear of breaking. Instead, why not create a greatsword roughly the same height as you Extend the handle if necessary. As long as it can be swung by someone, this would make it a divine weapon!" said Xu Liangxiao.

Waste of time, don't you see As long as they can be wielded, but how many are there who can do so

Although Li Cheng was inwardly cursing Xiangyue, in his words, he maintained politeness and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your guidance. May I ask which sword the young prince is crafting"

"A blunt sword, very easy. Luckier than you," said Daoist逍遙 with a smile.

"Sharpness can simplify things, yet it's also challenging. Other swords can compensate for their flaws with sharpness, but a dull sword cannot!" Li Cheng shook his head, uncertain whether he was reminding Xu You or merely showcasing his knowledge.

"It doesn't matter to me, even if it's a blunt sword that doesn't need sharpening," said逍遙 casually... I'm not bothering you, I'll be on my way first!" Laoyouxiao smiled as he walked away, seemingly having carelessly placed something into the molten iron.e didn't know how to explain Xiao Yaoyao's identity either. The most public one was that he was her manservant, and he liked this identity the best.…In the silence that followed, someone explod...
