Borrowing the training grounds of the Imperial Guard in the palace, Zhou Xu intended to see what the actual effects of this newly forged sabre were like.
At this stage, this sabre incorporating Fire Crystal Stone had already undergone Basic Weapon Buff enchantment, making it a genuine Enchanted Weapon.
For the specific testing, Zhou Xu found an Imperial Guard soldier to carry it out.
After all, he was testing the weapon. If Shilke came, his individual strength would have too great an influence.
Under these circumstances, his Imperial Guard was an excellent choice. Every one of them was an elite soldier, and they could represent the standard of their Great Zhou Soldiers to a certain extent.
The first target for testing the sabre was a wooden stake as thick as a bowl.
The Imperial Guard soldier gripped the sabre and, after taking a deep breath, swung it down with brutal force.
During the process, the blade rubbed violently against the air. Zhou Xu clearly saw a string of sparks burst from the blade!
In the blink of an eye, the sabre came down, and the wooden stake as thick as a bowl was severed on the spot.
Zhou Xu hurried forward to examine the cut in the wooden stake.
The edge of the stake was slightly blackened, as though it had been burned by fire.
He reached out and touched the cut. It was unbelievably smooth, enough to show how sharp this sabre was.
At the same time, Li Gan appropriately gave an explanation.
"On the matter of chopping wooden stakes, this sabre's sharpness is basically on par with the crystal-iron sabres we're currently mass-producing."
However, Li Gan also knew that merely being on par was not enough.
That was because Fire Crystal Stone had to be added during forging.
