Chapter 258 Apprentice Assessment

In the small courtyard of the IKEA Pavilion, Ouyang Ming lived in peace for several days.

During these few days, apart from the daily greetings from shopkeeper Du and the visit from Hu Yicheng, there were no other guests in this small courtyard.

Of course, Ouyang Ming never stepped out of the courtyard, he devoted all his time to practicing the little fireball.

Although it was only a few days, Ouyang Ming was surprised to find that his time to control the small fireball had made great progress.

In fact, even if other people have similar small fireball abilities, they would never expect to have such a terrifying amount of improvement during practice. The reason why Ouyang Ming is different is because he has mastered the relationship between energy runes.

Once he felt tired from practicing the little fireball, he released an energy rune without hesitation. Moreover, under his control, the area covered by this weakened version of the energy rune is extremely small. Apart from himself, it is basically impossible for anyone else to enjoy the magical effect of the rune.

Backed by more than 50 points of mental strength, supplemented by a 2-return energy necklace, Ou Yangming's actual consumption is actually very little.

Being able to make great progress in just a few days is by no means an accidental result.

However, today, Ouyang Ming gave up his plan to continue practicing. Because the five days had come, and the blacksmith level assessment was waiting for him.

Any activity in this important place in the capital will have a considerable impact.

Blacksmithing itself is an extremely important profession, and the equipment used by those powerful warriors is carefully crafted by super blacksmiths one by one. It is precisely because of these powerful equipment that the strong human race can compete with and even kill the more powerful half-elven beasts.

That's why those super blacksmiths have such a lofty status, and it becomes even more natural that they are sought after by many warriors.

Any blacksmith who wins a super title in an important place in the capital will become a big celebrity in the capital in the shortest possible time, and the benefits brought along with it are obvious to all, making everyone jealous.

Of course, there are many people who want to become super blacksmiths, but there are very few who can really gain everyone's approval.

When Du Gaoge brought Ouyang Ming to the assessment site, it was already overcrowded.

Here is a huge square.

In addition to the people who participated in the assessment, there were even their relatives, teachers and friends here, plus the onlookers who joined in the fun, it was naturally a huge crowd. However, no matter how many people there are, the center of the square is empty, and no one dares to enter this place.

Ouyang Ming waited quietly among the crowd, and finally three old men entered from the outside.

The three of them obviously had great prestige. As soon as they entered, the noise around them suddenly became quiet.

Soon, everyone appeared in Zhou Youyi, and they saw these three old men one after another, so the whole square seemed to have been casted by magic, and became quiet.

The three old men looked at each other with satisfaction.

One of them stepped forward and said loudly: "Today's assessment is a major event for our blacksmiths. The three of us will preside over it. Do you have any opinions?"

"It is our blessing to invite Master Jin to preside over it."

"Master Jin is well."

"Master Jin is in charge, I can't rest assured."

"Meet Master Jin."

There was an enthusiastic response from below, and everyone expressed enough respect and welcome to the old man.

Ouyang Ming turned his head slightly and asked, "Master Du, who are these three?"

Du Gaoge was startled, and said in a low voice, "You don't even know about them?"

Ouyang Ming chuckled and said, "I just arrived in the capital not long ago, so I really don't know."

Du Gaoge looked at him strangely, slandering in his heart, since you plan to participate in the blacksmith assessment, why didn't you even inquire about these big shots... However, he said: "This person who speaks is a master at the capital level. One of the forging masters is Master Jin Shengjie and Jin." He paused, and then said: "Those two are Master Feng Guangyuan and Master Yi Yucheng. Many masters are optimistic, thinking that they will definitely be promoted one day."

Ouyang Ming nodded slowly. This time, there was a super master and two senior masters presiding over the forging master assessment, which is quite a high standard.

Of course, if we let them know that among the blacksmiths participating in the assessment, there is one who can forge magic weapons, then God knows whether they will still have the confidence to preside over it.

Jin Shengjie waved his big hand, and the chaotic voices around him gradually died down.

He coughed heavily and said, "Apprentices, let's enter."

Immediately, the railings around the square opened, and hundreds of people entered in an orderly manner.

They are all young people who are about the same age as Ouyang Ming. Although they are also a little younger or a little older, the difference in age is not that big.

Du Gaoge said in a deep voice: "The blacksmith industry is extremely competitive. If you can't get recognized before the age of twenty-five, you won't have the chance to get gifts of arms and spirit fire." He paused , said: "There are more than 300 people here, all of whom are apprentices of the blacksmiths. They have studied for at least three years before they dare to come here to participate in the assessment."

Ouyang Ming was slightly startled, and said in surprise, "They are all apprentices of masters, so what about outsiders?"

Du Gaoge shook his head, and said: "The masters have a large number of apprentices, and it is not enough to give them all the places. How can there be any outsiders?"

Ouyang Ming frowned slightly, and said, "Is it so difficult to sign up for the assessment?"

Du Gaoge laughed and said: "Master Ou misunderstood, what they are looking for is the qualification to obtain arms or spirit fire. And the number of arms and spirit fire is limited, so it is extremely difficult to pass this threshold. But, for you For blacksmiths who have already obtained arms, it becomes easier and easier to assess and upgrade. Hehe, as long as you are not afraid of making a fool of yourself on the field, you can participate in the assessment every year."

Ouyang Ming's heart moved slightly, and he nodded slowly. Only then did he realize that the difficulty of obtaining arms was far beyond comparison.

The old craftsman was an arms blacksmith of Lin Haijun's battalion, and the military honors and contributions he had accumulated in his life could only be exchanged for one chance to obtain arms.

He is more grateful to the old craftsman, without this old man, how would he be where he is today?

Jin Shengjie said loudly: "Get ready, start."

Several people entered the arena, their figures were like lightning, they shuttled around many young men, and handed some papers into their hands. The young men were already prepared, they took out the pens and inks they carried with them, and began to fill in the answers in the center of the square under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Ouyang Ming's eyelids twitched slightly, and he said, "Master Du, what kind of assessment is this?"

Jin Shengjie said with a smile: "They are just apprentices, they don't have ammunition and spiritual fire, so naturally they can't perform, they can only conduct theoretical examinations."

The corner of Ou Yangming's mouth twitched slightly. If he had been asked to take part in such a written test a year ago, he probably would have never had a chance to stand out. However, he has experienced a lot this year, especially when he saw a large number of books about forging in the Ni family's collection of books and the spiritual world of inheritance, and the amount of knowledge has long been incomparable.

These young men answered the questions extremely quickly. Even though some people showed hesitation, they still wrote quickly.

Regardless of whether their answers are correct or not, at least there are no flaws on the outside.

Ou Yangming withdrew his gaze, suddenly moved in his heart, and said with a smile: "Master Du, I have met an acquaintance, let's go say hello first."

Du Gaoge was taken aback, and said with a smile, "It's my colleagues."

The two walked among the crowd for a while, and Ouyang Ming came to Hu Yicheng's side, and said in a low voice, "Brother Hu, did your son also participate in the assessment?"

Hu Yicheng's eyes flashed, and he turned his head immediately, saying: "Brother Ou is here." He nodded to Du Gaoge, the two had met the day before yesterday, so naturally they would not forget it easily.

Pointing to a certain area in the arena, Hu Yicheng sighed: "The number one hundred and thirty-five in the sixth row is the inferior Ling Guang. Hey, it's his first time to participate in the assessment, and he doesn't know if he will have a chance to succeed. "

Du Gaoge comforted: "Your son has studied in Master Wu's residence for three years, so there should be no problem."

Hu Yicheng smiled wryly, and said: "Other people study no less than Ling Guang, and even more. Hey, it's hard to get ahead..."

Ouyang Ming hesitated for a moment, he really didn't know how to comfort him.

This is munitions or spiritual fire, and even he has no way to obtain it.

After half an hour, Jin Shengjie said loudly: "It's time, leave."

Most of the young men immediately put down the brushes in their hands, while some were still diligently writing, as if they wanted to seize the last time.

But someone stepped forward immediately, snatched the brush and ink without hesitation, and threw them out by the neck.

There were sighs of regret, because everyone knew that it was impossible for these people to be selected.

Soon, the young man left the stage, and all the examination papers were collected. Jin Shengjie ignored these examination papers and continued: "The official blacksmith examination begins, and those who sign up are allowed to enter."

Du Gaoge hurriedly said: "Master Ou, it's your turn."

Hu Yicheng also calmed down and said, "Brother Ou, come on."

Ouyang Ming smiled slightly and said, "Okay." He stepped forward and followed the flow of people into the venue.

Du Gaoge looked at Hu Yicheng and asked, "Brother Hu, you came to Beijing with Master Ou, how is his forging skill?"

Hu Yicheng thought for a while, and said, "It's been a year since Brother Ou got the arms, so there shouldn't be any problem with the formal blacksmith's assessment..." When he said this, he was also worried.

After all, the martial arts cultivation and the mysterious power displayed by Ouyang Ming are too shocking.

Now that he has focused his energy on this aspect, how high can forging be?

Du Gaoge nodded slowly, and said, "Hope, there is no problem."
