Chapter 135 Conference Opening

Why is Zhang Ye sweating? It will be revealed naturally when the forging conference is held.

…

It is said that there is no time to practice, and Zhang Ye's blacksmithing is no different. I don't know how time has passed, and it will soon be the first day of the next month.

Today is the exchange meeting for young blacksmiths from the Five Regions. Although this is only an exchange meeting for blacksmiths, it also attracts the attention of the whole city.

Not only because the blacksmiths brought magic weapons from different regions, this five-region blacksmith exchange conference was also related to the face of the Eastern Region.

The city guard has strengthened the security patrols in Tiandao City, and the citizens have become more conscious. After all, outsiders cannot laugh at it.

Tiandao City Magic Weapon Association and representatives of young blacksmiths from all regions gathered together. Zhang Ye rarely put on the black robe of a blacksmith from the Eastern Region, and his whole person was filled with a different kind of heroic spirit.

But the blacksmiths present looked at Zhang Ye with a sarcastic expression, not because he was ugly, but because the forging badge Zhang Ye wore was only a five-star one.

You must know that the young blacksmiths recommended by each domain are at least seven stars. Zhang Ye stands out from the crowd, and five stars is really unjustifiable.

The foreign guests in the audience even laughed directly: "You dare to come to the forging conference with just five stars?"

"In the last war between the Eastern Region and the Northern Region, the craftsmen of the Eastern Region almost disappeared. Let's be more considerate, haha..."

The audience in the Eastern Region exploded immediately and started a war of words with guests from other regions.

As the organizer, President Sima immediately asked people to put order in order. After a long time, the entire venue became quiet.

"Tsk, tsk, Mr. Sima, you, the organizer, are really getting worse every year."

"Also, what happened to the five-star blacksmith?"

The presidents of the Five Regions Magic Weapon Association gathered together. The North Region and the East Region had enmity, and the president of the North Region directly taunted them.

Yunxiu stood next to Zhang Ye. He had heard the previous mockery from the audience and was very satisfied.

Yunxiu said softly: "Zhang Ye, do you know how embarrassing you are?"

Zhang Ye didn't even look at Yunxiu. He raised his hand and said, "Report to the judges' table. Someone attacked me personally."

President Sima was arguing with President Beiyu. After hearing Zhang Ye's report, he immediately asked: "Who?"

Even if everyone is a competitor, they should not be verbally abusive. President Sima, as the chief judge, expressed his anger.

Moreover, Zhang Ye was recommended by him. Anyone who dares to bully Zhang Ye will slap President Sima in the face.

Yunxiu was stunned. Zhang Ye wanted to report him? It's really childish. You said I insulted you and I insulted you? There's nothing you can do if you don't admit it.

Zhang Ye took out a small ball and projected a huge figure in the air: "Zhang Ye, do you know how embarrassing you are?"

The audience was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Yunxiu's face turned pale and she held the grass in her hands. That person turned out to be herself? Also, what kind of magic weapon is in Zhang Ye’s hand that can actually be recorded? This is really too much to rely on.

Zhang Ye's magic weapon is all-powerful and he created a sound and shadow magic weapon without any difficulty.

Seeing this scene, President Sima was furious. It would be reasonable if people from other regions bullied Zhang Ye. Yunxiu and Zhang Ye were teammates representing the Eastern Region. How could this be done?

President Sima was so angry that he could not speak, but the local audience cursed: "Yunxiu, your mother is dead?"

"Traitor, dog thief!"

The Dongyu audience was so angry that they scolded them as harshly as they wanted. Yunxiu's face turned white and then green, unable to refute. She just looked at Zhang Ye bitterly, not daring to say anything else.

President Beiyu laughed loudly: "President Sima, don't blame Yunxiu. After all, Zhang Ye is a five-star blacksmith!"

Listening to the cynicism of President Beiyu, President Sima looked ashamed, and Yun Xiu looked gentle and elegant. Who would have expected him to be such a person? But now it was too late to replace him. President Sima hesitated for a moment and said: "Zhang Ye is the candidate I recommended. How can he be as simple as a five-star blacksmith?"

The president of the Northern Territory didn't take it to heart: "Oh, I understand, he is your illegitimate son? Mr. Sima, your glory is still the same as before!"

"Fuck you!" President Sima said angrily, "Zhang Ye is a five-star blacksmith who only participated in five tests!"

"Haha, you can only take five tests, so weak..." The Northern Territory President didn't understand it properly, he laughed twice, and then realized, "Can you become a five-star blacksmith with five tests? You're bragging without drafting!" "

"Hmph, I know you don't believe it!" President Sima was able to mobilize the information of all registered blacksmiths in the Eastern Region, and Zhang Ye's exam results surfaced.

Full marks for material identification; full marks for shaping ability; full marks for repair, full marks for refining, full marks for creation... And the following items were not scored zero, but not tested.

The whole place was deathly silent, especially those who had previously laughed at Zhang Ye for having only five stars, as if they had been slapped, their faces burning with pain.

It is true that Zhang Ye is a five-star blacksmith, but no one dares to look down upon a five-star blacksmith who has only participated in five tests.

After all, this is a state that none of the five domain presidents present here can achieve.

The president of the Northern Territory was choked to the point of speechlessness. Based on his understanding of Sima Chenfeng, it was impossible for him to take the lead in cheating. After a while, he asked: "Then why doesn't Zhang Ye take the next test?"

Several other presidents are also very curious. With five perfect scores, they wonder what level they will reach in the future.

"Huh, because Zhang Ye said he was in a bad mood." President Sima held his head high and his chest high. He was so cool and pretending.

Several presidents were dumbfounded, but their eyes looked more solemn when they looked at Zhang Ye.

The audience in the Eastern Region roared Zhang Ye's name, which had been ridiculed by several other regions before, and was finally able to avenge its shame.

All of this was brought about by Zhang Ye's perfect scores in five tests, so they were grateful to Zhang Ye.

"Yunxiu, do you know how embarrassing you are?" After arriving, the audience's voices condensed into this sentence, returning Yunxiu's previous mocking words to Zhang Ye intact, and even many foreign audiences also expressed their displeasure. Then he howled twice.

Yunxiu felt ashamed. He had previously mocked Zhang Ye for being embarrassing, but now, the situation was reversed, and he was the most embarrassing one.

If he had not been confident in the subsequent projects, he would have been too embarrassed to stay on stage.

"Quiet!" President Sima restored order. In any case, Yunxiu was also one of the representatives of the Eastern Region and had to take the overall situation into consideration.

However, President Sima still gave Yun Xiu a warning look, and then said: "It's almost time. I announce that the Five Regions Young Blacksmiths Exchange Conference has officially begun!"

"Now let's move on to the first item of the conference, appreciation of rare treasures!" After Sima Chenfeng said this, the staff immediately moved a large table and placed it in the field, and ten blacksmiths sat down around it.

Well, to be precise, there were only nine blacksmiths sitting. The blacksmiths of the Tiangong clan were too short and stood on stools.

When it comes to this treasure appreciation, it does not mean that the organizer provides heavenly materials and earthly treasures for the blacksmiths to appreciate, but that the young blacksmiths themselves come up with a rare and precious material for everyone to exchange and appreciate.

This is a great test of everyone's eyesight and collection level. In the end, several judges will grade the performance of the blacksmiths, just like a mortal literati poetry meeting. Because the rarity of the materials taken out will also affect the score, every blacksmith has a force behind him that prepares a rare material in the world.

On Zhang Ye's side, because there was no big power behind him, President Sima lent Zhang Ye a material from the bottom of the Magic Weapon Association's box. Zhang Ye didn't want it. After all, there was a material mall, so he didn't have to worry about rare treasures, but he couldn't resist. I had to take it first.

The blacksmiths looked at each other and each took out the rare materials for the competition, but each time they took out one, it was not as sensational as they imagined.

It’s not that the things everyone took out were not precious enough, but they were so rare that the audience couldn’t recognize them at all.

Several guild presidents recognized part of it, secretly smacked their lips, and then looked at the other guild president with ill intentions. It was too much. They actually took materials of this level, which was impossible for a young blacksmith to possess.

But this is an unspoken rule that everyone understands tacitly.

Sima Chenfeng looked from a distance and only recognized a few materials. He sighed a little, but the materials lent to Zhang Ye turned out to be only at the bottom.

However, he believed that Zhang Ye's incredible ability to identify materials with perfect scores should be able to make up for this disadvantage.

Yunxiu glanced around at the materials that everyone had taken out. It seemed that the materials from the Central Territory Blacksmith were the most precious.

However, Yunxiu was not unprepared and immediately took out a stone that exuded colorful brilliance.

This is the most precious treasure of the Tianbing Pavilion. Legend has it that it is a five-color fairy stone that fell from the sky. It is a close relative of the five-color holy stone used by Nuwa to mend the sky, so it can be seen that it is rare.

There were a few blacksmiths present who might have recognized them, and there was a hint of astonishment in their eyes. Yunxiu caught their moving expressions, and was very proud. She felt that she had regained a lot of the face she had lost earlier.

Yunxiu looked at Zhang Ye who was sighing aside, thinking that he couldn't bring out anything good, and said: "Zhang Ye, stop hiding it, take out the treasures you have collected and let everyone open their eyes."

Yunxiu suffered a loss and did not dare to ridicule him directly, but he still used his evil intentions.

In fact, Zhang Ye sighed, not because he couldn't come up with good things, but because there were so many good things that it was difficult for him to choose.

Take low-level materials, but you're afraid that you won't be able to become the leader. Take materials that are too high-level, but you're afraid of shocking the world.

As for Zhang Ye, who broke out in cold sweat when he first learned about this competition, it was not because he was afraid of the difficulty, but because he felt that this event was completely tailor-made for him and it was terrible.

Zhang Ye glanced at Yunxiu and slapped something in his hand on the table.

President Sima nodded with satisfaction, just use the materials I gave you.

But suddenly, President Sima was dumbfounded, and the thousands of spectators in the audience were also dumbfounded.

The material Zhang Ye took out was actually a piece of mud?

No, this is such a high-level forging exchange. How could it be possible to use mud? Everyone rejected it at first, but there was clearly a grass growing on the mud, which Zhang Ye had just pinched away.

There are various signs indicating that it is mud, and it may be a piece of mud that was picked up nearby.

The blacksmiths rejected several similar materials from a professional perspective, and finally determined that this was just a pile of mud!

"Pfft..." Several blacksmiths couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

"Zhang Ye, if you don't have good materials, ask me to borrow them. What do you do with a piece of mud?" Yunxiu said with a concerned look. In fact, she felt happy.

President Sima's facial muscles were trembling violently. Qian warned and Wan told Zhang Ye to use the materials he provided, regardless of the rules of the competition, because everyone did it.

But Zhang Ye, you stick to your principles so much, why don’t you know how to adapt? Besides, even if you get the materials yourself, don’t give up on yourself with the mud. Sima Chenfeng was heartbroken.

Zhang Ye looked as normal as he listened to the people's ridicule, and even had a proud smile on his lips.
