Chapter 173: firm iron shield



Chapter 173: firm iron shield

For the smithing pavilion, as long as there were materials and a fire seed, he could easily make anything. 

However, Jun Changxiao was dumbfounded by how it took 30 minutes to make a single shield. So slow!

The system said: [If these words were heard by specialized blacksmiths on Falling Star Continent, they would definitely smash your head in with a brick.]

Why? Jun Changxiao asked. 

The system explained, [Even for a good blacksmith making the lowest grade equipment, simply smelting the ores and tempering the metal would take two days. The host thinking half an hour is slow would definitely anger them.]

Oh, oh.

Jun Changxiao muttered, Compared to two days, it is indeed not slow.

It was not not slow, it was simply too fast!

Shua!

With a thought, a Firm Iron Shield was summoned. 

It looked like quite the conventional circular shield, about the size of a pot lid. Although made of iron, it was actually quite light. 

There was a handle at the center of the inside. The outside of the shield was painted black and there was a small notch at the center. 

Having had the experience of loading bullets into a clip, Jun Changxiao immediately judged, This shield can use crystal core energy!

[Smart], the system said. 

As he mentally started refining the second shield, he took Jun Changxiao continued and refined the second shield, then took out a low-grade crystal core and placed it into the shallow dip. 

Once the core was placed inside, flowing light spread from the central point, outlining a design similar to the Five Elements Eight Trigrams, shining with luminous power. 

Cool, Jun Changxiao commented. 

Just as he said that, the flowing light flickered. 

Although the design remained on the shield, the color actually darkened. 

Jun Changxiao asked, Whats going on?

The system said, [The host can pick up the shield and pour energy into the shield to activate the shields defense function.]

Defense function?

Holding the shield, Jun Changxiao placed a palm inside and led his consciousness to connect with the shield. 

Bzzt!

He had just touched it when a barrier like an array appeared right in front of the shield. 

Looking at the flowing light barrier that completely protected the front, Jun Changxiao said, This is so cool!

However!

How were the defense stats?

The system said, [The Firm Iron Shields defensive barrier has high durability.]

Oh?

At this time, Li Luoqiu walked in and asked, Sect Head, what is that?

A shield, Jun Changxiao said. 

Li Luoqiu obviously knew that it was a shield, but was referring to the almost illusionary light barrier. What I meant was why does it look like an array?

Jun Changxiao responded, Defensive barrier.

Come, come. He lifted the shield and turned, saying, Take out the Desert Eagle and shoot me.

Li Luoqiu smiled. If the barrier is destroyed by chance, it would be bad to injure the Sect Head, wouldnt it?

It wont break, Jun Changxiao said.

Actually shoot?

Shoot.

Okay.

Li Luoqiu raised a hand and the Desert Eagle appeared from thin air. 

Ka!

A bullet was loaded and the muzzle was aimed at the barrier, shooting without hesitation. 

Hall Master Li was an assassin, so it was clean and efficient. 

However, after she opened fire, her bright eyes exuded surprise. Although the bullet had hit the light barrier, it had not destroyed it. 

How is it? Jun Changxiao asked, The defense is not bad, right?

Li Luoqiu was filled with amazement. Sect Head, is it possible that your shield is a mid-grade advanced defensive treasure?

Jun Changxiao did not know the Firm Iron Shields quality, but coordinated with her and agreed, Not bad, it is mid-grade advanced.

No wonder.

Li Luoqiu blinked, saying with a smile, Sect Head, how many shields do you have? If you have a lot, why dont you give Drizzle Hall a couple?

Jun Changxiao retrieved his energy and released the barrier, saying, Well see.

Okay.

Li Luoqiu shrugged. 

Why did you come looking for this lord? Jun Changxiao asked. 

Li Luoqiu said, Theres news from Vast Spirit Gate saying that Qin Haoran left Qingyang Commandery. From the direction, it seems he is headed for the Holy Spring Sect.

Jun Changxiao tapped his chin, saying, This fellow suffered such a big loss, is it possible he wants to invite an expert from the Holy Spring Sect?

Li Luoqiu said, It is possible.

Jun CHangxiao shook his head, disagreeing with himself. We made a promise with the Holy Spring Sect. Since they brag about being prestigious and noble, they will definitely not send an expert, since that will be an underhanded tactic.

Makes sense, Li Luoqiu said. 

The entire Qingyang Commandery had heard about the agreement to fight. 

The Holy Spring Sect would definitely follow its words, otherwise they would have sent people to look for trouble after Spirit Spring Mountain. 

Jun Changxiao said, To this lord, it seems that Alliance Chief Qins trip is just to ask the Holy Spring Sect to carefully look after our Ironbone Sect.

A fifth-grade sect will listen to a sixth-grade sect? Li Luoqiu wondered. 

If you have a question, just ask. The answer depends entirely on the person. Jun Changxiao added, More likely, Alliance Chief Qin is delivering them an advantage and the Holy Spring Sect is happy to accept.

Li Luoqiu wrinkled her eyebrows and said, Then, if we went to the Holy Spring Sect, the situation would be more troublesome.

Doesnt matter.

Jun Changxiao did not care. 

In his opinion, Qin Haorans methods weren't anything much, only Spirit Spring Sects type of playing dirty was truly hateful.

By evening, the Smithing Pavilion had refined 24 shields. 

Although the Firm Iron Shields werent bad, they needed crystal cores to form a barrier and 1/10 of the energy would be consumed with one hit from the Desert Eagle. 

This meant that once the energy was exhausted, the barrier would disappear. 

Jun Changxiao muttered, After entering Death Valley, the disciples can at least resist the attack of a savage beast.

The next day. 

He summoned the 25 disciples.

Not counting the inner court disciples and the ten high-grade spirit roots, the other eight disciples included Zhou Hong, Long Ziyang, Li Yuhua, Ling Yuanxue and others. 

Jun Changxiao handed them each a shield and a crystal core, simply explaining how to input energy. Unless it is a crucial moment, do not use the defensive barrier.

Yes!

The disciples agreed.

He did not hand one to Zhou Hong since that guy would definitely not use the shield at all. 

Tch.

I am a solemn Martial Emperor, how can I defend with this vulgar shield? 

Ye Xingchen really disliked the Firm Iron Shield. 

After all, the shield was a little similar to the ones barbarian soldiers from Earth used. 

Considering that, a free-flying Martial Emperor carrying an iron shield around the skies it was definitely a sad sight. 

This lowly thing, how can I use it?!

Returning to his room, Ye Xingchen tossed the shield into a corner. 

Outside, Su Xiaomo put a core into the shield and started the defensive barrier, exclaiming, So powerful!

Tch. 

Ye Xingchen coldly snorted.

But as he turned around, he caught a glimpse of the barrier from the corner of his eye and startled, A defensive treasure?

Weapons were but blades, spears, swords, or halberds, but supreme treasures were varied and complex. 

For example, there were Buddha beads, seals, and even ordinary-looking bracelets as long as there was a special function, they could be considered supreme treasures. 

Storage rings were also a kind of supreme treasure. 

The Firm Iron Shield could create a defensive barrier, meaning it could be considered a supreme treasure. 

On Falling Star Continent, for things of the same quality, defensive treasures were more valuable than offensive treasures. 

Ye Xingchen quickly grabbed the shield from the corner and poured energy into the shield, exclaiming, A mid-grade advanced defensive treasure!

Since the basic Firm Iron Shield was deemed mid-grade advanced, then it could favorably compare to a high-grade elementary weapon.

Ye Xingchen was not shocked by the quality, but by the fact that the sect head had unexpectedly handed 24 of these shields out!

This guy truly has the goods!
