13 The Heavenly Roar And Beauty 1 (2/2)

Now without wasting any time let's get started, shall we, Elder Jian?” [Astra]

Now after this Elder Jian was more bewildered, he began accessing the claw bone again, but still couldn't figure out what was the meaning behind Astra's word. After some time of pondering on it, he calmed himself saying that 'I would know what kind of material it is after he completes the forging.'

Then he said ”Let's begin the second test the.” [Elder Jian]

With that Astra began his forging test. He started the furnace and increased the temperature of the furnace. After 3-5 minutes the furnace finally reached the required temperature. Then, Astra put the claw bone into the furnace to soften it so that he could begin shaping it into the shape of dagger. After the shaping was complete, Astra began melting the metal ingot and covered the both sides of the shaped bone to give it sharpness and strength to the main structure of the dagger. After all this was done, he began quenching the dagger. He quenched the dagger again and again. After quenching the dagger for around 10 times, he finally began working on the hilt of the dagger. He first molded the molten metal ingot into the hilt and attached it to the dagger then wrapped it to the hilt to mate its grip strong and increase the defense. When the forging process was nearing its end, he finally gave some final touches to the dagger and at the end of the forging, Astra added a drop of his blood on the dagger. As soon as the drop of his blood landed on the dagger, the dagger started to glow and along with the glow a heaven shattering roar was emitted from the dagger. The roar was so loud that, the entire area with the radius of thousands of miles of radius around the sect shook as if the land and the sky was struck with a huge earthquake because of the pressure emitted by a peerless cultivator which threatened to eliminate them if anyone tried to resist or disrespect the cultivator.

Seeing this outcome with their own eyes, all the elders present were terrified as hell. After some time the elders calmed down. The head elder went to Astra and asked him as Astra was the only one unaffected by roar.

”Astra, what just happened? Could you Explain?” [Elder Zheng]

”Um.. Head Elder Zheng, that roar just now was the result of completing the forging of the weapon.” [Astra]

Now the elders were more curious to know what weapon had Astra forged to result such outcome. They all walked to the completed dagger and examined it. Elder Jian took the dagger in his hand and swung it around a few time, but couldn't help be frown at it as it seemed nothing more than an ordinary dagger.

”Astra, I don't understand why you said that the outcome was because of this dagger, I don't see anything other than an ordinary dagger in my hand.” [Elder Jian]

”Elder Jian might see it as an ordinary dagger because it's my personal exclusive dagger. And other than in my hands no one can see its true worth.” [Astra]

Now the elders were more shocked.

Elder Jian gave the dagger to Astra to look at the real appearance of the dagger Astra had forged.

As soon as Astra took hold of the dagger, a sudden feeling of being in presence of a peerless cultivator covered them. The Elders couldn't help but look around to find that cultivator was but the head elder immediately understood from where this presence was felt and asked all the elder to look towards Astra. They all were shocked to see the sudden change in Astra's demeanor. They all couldn't help but feel that Astra was some peerless cultivator but as soon as Astra put the dagger on the table the feeling that the elders were feeling was gone.

Then elder Jian asked ”Can you execute a strike with the dagger?”

Nodding at Elder Jian's request, Astra took the Dagger in his hand and made a strike in the air. Along with the strike, the loud roar was heard again followed by the same pressurized feeling. The single strike was so powerful that a single strike in the air tore the air and loud whistle could be heard and felt even tens of meter away form the strike.

Seeing this the elders were dumbfounded.

”Astra, what's the name of this dagger of yours? And most importantly what was the material you used to make it so terrifying?”[Elder Jian]

”I've named this Dagger Blacktalon. And the bone that I used as the core material was the reason why this outcome happened. The claw bone was from a dragon species. I don't know whether it was a true dragon or not but it definitely is of a dragon species. And if not for the drop of blood that I added during forging it wouldn't have this outcome.” [Astra]

Now all the elders were dumbfounded. The bone that they all had thought to be a worthless material turned out to be a priceless material in the end.

ThenAstra asked.

”Umm… Elder, do I pass the test.” [Astra]

Regaining his composure, Elder Jian spoke.

”Of course, you pass. A weapon who can recognize its master and produce such outcome can be nothing less than a Spirit tier weapon. And It seems that you dagger is an upgradeable Spirit Peak tier Weapon at that.” [Elder Jian]

With saying that much, Astra passed his Blacksmith Test.
