"By the way, next month's Kingdom Martial Arts Competition, do you want to try it?" Xue Lian suddenly changed the topic.

"Martial Arts Competition? What is that?"

"That's right, you've been in the Primitive Continent and haven't heard the news!" Xue Lian shook her hand: "Next month, the Karente royal family plans to hold a kingdom competition to recruit warriors from all over the country and even the whole continent to participate! Prince Serei asked for leave to return to the palace for this reason!"

"Okay, why did you suddenly get into a martial arts competition?"

Xue Lian smiled: "Because the Broken Steel Holy Sword has reappeared in the world!"

"Broken Steel Sword?" Zhao Qiankun blinked: "What rice is that?"

"You don't even know this?" When talking about legends related to magic weapons, Xuelian's eyes suddenly shone, and the bard's soul rose: "There have countless magic weapons and weapons in the world, and each one has a legend behind them, but if you want to rank these magic weapons, the Duan Steel Holy Sword is definitely among the top five!"

"Is that amazing?"

"Of course!" Xue Lian smiled and said, "Legendary, Duangang is a sword forged by the elves and dwarves a thousand years ago in order to resist the invasion of hell. The elves and dwarves have always been incompatible. If it weren't for the invasion of hell demons, they would never have joined forces! Because of this, this Duangang sword has become a peerless work!"

"According to records, the elves and dwarf elites came out together, collected the best materials, and forged the divine sword with the most exquisite craftsmanship. Even so, they didn't think it was enough, and even used special secret techniques to curse the sword!"

"Curse?!" Zhao Qiankun frowned: "Didn't this make the sword weaker?"

"You don't understand this!" Xue Lian smiled and said, "The so-called gains and losses must be lost, and there must be gains and losses. Many times, in order to create stronger weapons, people will use special secret techniques to curse this weapon, add restrictions to users, and accordingly, they will also increase the power of the weapons!"

"The most famous one is the Cun Zheng family in Yingzhou!" Xue Lian said: "It is said that the Cun Zheng family is a sword-casting family with demon blood. They always add demonic energy to the sword. Although the swords created are extremely sharp, they will disturb the user's mind. Those with weak will are prone to backlash and are bloodthirsty and crazy, so the Cun Zheng is called the Demon Sword!"

"There is also the legend of the Great Zhou martial arts world. Once this knife is unsheathed, it will not be able to return to the sheath without killing people. The user cannot put down this knife. If he does not kill people for a long time, he will be controlled by the knife and ask for people to kill them randomly! With a curse blessing, the blood drink comes with a sword energy, which is also a very powerful sword!"

"There are many similar famous tools, such as reducing the lifespan every time you use it; and there are also those that can only be used by a specific race to exert their power, etc...." Xuelian took some treasures as she knew them: "And among them, the most powerful curse and the strictest restriction is the steel cut off!"

"But Duangang Sword cannot be called an evil sword. It will not cause damage to the user, but it will select users! Legend has it that only warriors recognized by Duangang can pick up this sword, and Duangang will recognize a master every hundred years!"

After listening to Xue Lian’s story, Zhao Qiankun nodded: “I heard what you mean, the Carrent royal family wanted to use this martial arts competition to find a master for Duangang Sword? Why?”

"Because the first master of the Broken Steel Sword was the ninth emperor of the Karente Empire, the brave man who fought against the demons back then, Yusher Karente!"

"Emperor?" Zhao Qiankun frowned: "Isn't this sword made by the elves and dwarves? Why did he recognize a human emperor as his master in the end?!"

"Because even the forgeer can't control Duangang to recognize his master!" Xue Lian smiled and said, "In order to fight against the demon race, they only added two restrictions on Duangang's recognition of his master. One is that they must have powerful warriors, and the other is that they must be brave, kind and just. On the contrary, the race of the master has no restrictions. As a result, they found the best and bravest warriors among the dwarves and high elves, but none of them could take the sword. As a result, after many twists and turns, the sword was pulled out by a human young man named Yusher!"

"Yushare was just a poor boy back then, but he had extremely high martial arts talent and lived by hunting monsters all year round. After pulling out the Broken Steel Sword, he joined the tide of fighting against demons, grew up in the war, and finally became a well-known brave man, leading Sikaro Island to drive the demons back to hell. Finally, he married the princess of the Lion Heart Empire, inherited the surname of Karente, and became the ninth generation of Karente Emperor!" As he said that, Xue Lian took out a thick hero biography and handed it to Zhao Qiankun: "Yushare's story can't be finished for three days and three nights. If you want to know, this book is very clear!"

Zhao Qiankun took it and flipped a few pages: "As you said, this guy is just the protagonist of Qidian's online literature!!"

"What kind of text?"

"Nothing..." Zhao Qiankun closed the book: "So, this sword can be regarded as the national treasure of the Carent Empire?"

"That's right, after Yusher's death, the Karente Empire would look for a new master for the Duangang Sword every ten years. Of course, it was found within the scope of the Karente family!" Xue Lian smiled and said, "But I have to say that the royal family of the Lion Heart Empire was really strong. In the next thousand years, three Duangang Sword Masters were actually released! And these three people were great heroes with high martial arts skills and poor morals! Everyone's story is enough to write a heart-stirring epic!"

"Then how could this sword be left with a mark?" Zhao Qiankun asked, "You said it was reappearing in the world before, so it was gone before?"

"This is because two hundred years ago, the most recent owner of Duangang Sword, the second prince of the Lion Heart Empire at that time, Wright Carrent, the great hero known as the Light of Lion Heart. This young and promising hero disappeared during an operation to explore the hinterland of the Wild Continent, and the whereabouts of Duangang Sword were unknown. After that, many explorers went deep into the Wild, hoping to retrieve Wright's corpse and sword, but no one succeeded, and Duangang Sword never appeared again..."

"Oh!" Zhao Qiankun nodded: "So, that boy Sere asked for leave to go home to see if he could pull out the Broken Steel Sword! He didn't look at his small body!"

"Yes, the Duangang Sword is reappeared, and the royal family must first find the master of the sword inside their own house!" Xue Lian nodded: "But I am quite strange. Even if no one could draw the sword in the past, the Carent family would seal the sword and would not hand it over to outsiders. This time, why hold a martial arts competition with great fanfare to find the master of the Duangang Sword?"

"This is not simple!" Zhao Qiankun smiled and said, "Since Duangang Sword can run back, it means that he must have recognized his master. The Carent family did not want to give the sword to others, but just wanted to find this master!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Qiankun suddenly remembered what Joan of Arc mentioned before that the Holy Temple was looking for a real dragon-slaying warrior... "By the way, what does that Holy Sword of Broken Steel look like? Does it have any patterns?"

"I really haven't seen it before..." Xue Lian pointed to the book in Zhao Qiankun's hand: "But there is a portrait in that book, which is said to be quite restored."

Zhao Qiankun opened the book and quickly found a portrait of Emperor Yusher. The broken steel sword in his hand was painted very finely, with the shape of a dwarf and the magnificent beauty of an elf. The overall look was a quaint style of a thousand years ago. Although there were not many exaggerated decorations, you could tell at a glance that it was not an ordinary person.

Seeing this look, Zhao Qiankun always felt familiar. He searched in his mind and finally remembered that when he came out of the frozen castle and fought with the ancient dragon, he changed many weapons, and there seemed to be one that looked like this...

At that time, I had to take whatever I had. There were 180 weapons that I had passed, and most of them were sprayed into iron by dragon breath. However, he was quite impressed by this sword because it felt a bit heavy in his hand, which was much heavier than those with feathers. According to the novels I read in the storytelling in my previous life, the weapons of those powerful generals were dozens or hundreds of pounds, and the heavier the heavier the more powerful it was. Therefore, Zhao Qiankun also regarded this sword as a magic weapon. As a result, he took it out to cut the dragon. It was hard enough and could not be broken, but the blade seemed to be blunt! And it was not easy to use as a blunt weapon, because it was not of high quality, but the gravity was particularly strong, and it was not as good as an ordinary stick when swung.

In short, this thing should have been thrown by him in the polar continent. Now, thinking about it, it must be the paladins who found the Broken Steel Holy Sword, and the time was just right. And they held a conference and must be looking for the master of the Holy Sword. According to their ideas, those who can use the Holy Sword must be recognized, so they are actually looking for the Dragon Slayer Warrior!

However, they made a lot of calculations, but they didn't expect that it was Duangang, a perverted Duangang. Of course, a skeleton was not a brave man recognized by Duangang, but the power of the King Kong skeleton was too terrifying. He picked up the sword with brute force!

Interesting, it seems that they are still very persistent... Zhao Qiankun smiled slightly.

"By the way, do you want to participate?" Xue Lian asked him: "After all, you are a man who has won the yellow beard. Even if you can't compare to the Paladin, you are a master. Should you participate in the martial arts competition and win a good ranking and transfer to the warrior system?" Xue Lian became more and more excited: "Getting a good ranking in the martial arts competition, you may be able to win the championship even if you are lucky. If you draw the holy sword at that time, it will be the most perfect legendary beginning!"

"Don't think about it, I'm not a brave man!" Zhao Qiankun shrugged. He had tried it long ago.

"That's right..." Xue Lian pouted: "The masters recognized by Duan Gang are all flawless, kindest and most just people, and they also have particularly strong strength. Unfortunately, you are not involved in both aspects..."

"I don't care! After all, I'm a magician!" As he said that, Zhao Qiankun raised his hand and a small fire ball emerged from his palm, making Xue Lian stunned: "You... can you use magic?"
