Chapter 259 Questioning Before the Exam

Ouyang Ming slowly entered the square, where many casting tables had already been placed, and the apprentices were answering the questions on the casting tables. But at this moment, when all the apprentices withdrew and replaced by blacksmiths with arms or spiritual fires on stage, the atmosphere in the square suddenly became more dignified.

After all, apprentices are apprentices, and they don't have ammunition or spirit fire on them.

Moreover, even if the apprentices won the favor of the elders, they had the opportunity to hunt for arms. But whether it will be successful is another question.

In contrast, although everyone on the stage at this moment has not obtained the title of official blacksmith, at least they all have arms or spiritual fire. In other words, they have truly stepped into the threshold of blacksmiths and possessed respectable strength.

Ou Yangming only had a certificate plate in his hand, and there was no number on it, and all the people who entered the venue would not deliberately choose the casting table.

There are more than 300 casting tables in the square, but there are only more than 30 candidates for the formal blacksmith assessment.

Ouyang Ming stood casually in front of a casting platform. He turned his head and looked around. Except for Hu Yicheng and others, his eyes suddenly focused and he saw Yan Yuanhua on the high platform.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and Ouyang Ming nodded to him distantly.

On the high platform, Yan Yuanhua looked at Ouyang Ming in astonishment. He didn't expect this guy to actually have a way to participate in the blacksmith's assessment. However, even if he succeeds, he is only a formal blacksmith, and he is still far from an intermediate blacksmith!

Suddenly, he saw Ouyang Ming's smile, which seemed to be filled with strong confidence, which even gave him a feeling that he was sure of winning.

Shaking his head vigorously, Yan Yuanhua's eyes could not help but become a little suspicious.

"Junior Brother Yan, what are you doing?" A middle-aged man beside him said in a low voice, "Let's sit here,

But on behalf of Master, don't look around! "

Yan Yuanhua's face flushed slightly, and he said hastily, "Yes, Second Senior Brother."

This man is also an introductory disciple of Master Wu Hongxi, but he is Yuan Lexin, the second disciple of the master. Not only is his position far above him, but he is also one of the three senior blacksmiths under the master's sect.

Yan Yuanhua was so arrogant in front of Hu Yicheng and others, but in front of the second senior brother, he was as honest as a child, not daring to prick him in the slightest.

However, Ouyang Ming's confident, sunny smile lingered in his heart all the time, and he finally couldn't help asking: "Second senior brother, is this the official blacksmith's assessment?"

Yuan Le was taken aback, and said in surprise, "Yes!"

"Then in this assessment, will anyone become an intermediate blacksmith directly?"

Yuan Lexin glanced at him strangely, and said, "Junior Brother Yan, are you dizzy?" He paused, and said, "The material used in the formal blacksmith assessment is ordinary iron ingots. Even if the master does it himself, he can only forge a handful of high-grade equipment at most. Hehe, the conditions for an intermediate blacksmith are to be able to stably forge top-grade equipment!"

Yan Yuanhua felt relieved, and said, "Second senior brother, you mean that in this assessment, it is impossible for the title of intermediate blacksmith to appear?"

Yuan Lexin said without hesitation: "It's absolutely impossible." He frowned slightly, and said: "You are supernatural, what the hell are you doing!"

Yan Yuanhua hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, second senior brother, let's watch the fun..."

Although Yuan Lexin was puzzled, it was not easy to ask questions on this occasion, so she closed her mouth and looked down boredly. What's so interesting about such an assessment for a senior blacksmith like him?

At this time, when Ouyang Ming looked at the materials placed on the casting table, he also frowned slightly.

Although he had known for a long time that this type of assessment must have limitations, the uniform iron ingots on the casting platform still made Ou Yangming a little worried.

The higher the grade of equipment, the better the materials needed.

Things made of fine-selected fine steel, even a kitchen knife, are much sharper than sabers made of iron ingots, because the gap between the two materials is too great.

With Ouyang Ming's current forging technique, even magic weapons can be forged.

However, this requires a prerequisite, that is, to provide sufficiently strong raw materials.

But now, he set his goal on the super blacksmith, but the materials he used were limited to iron ingots.

Picking up an iron ingot casually, Ouyang Ming looked east and west, but couldn't figure out how to turn it into top-grade equipment.

The upper limit that low-level materials can bear is not high. Even if he has the special ability of arms to cheat, he can't increase the upper limit of low-level materials. If the upper limit is raised regardless, then the only result will be a "boom", and this piece of equipment will explode into pieces all over the place.

"Everyone, you are all young people who have received arms or spiritual fire for less than a year." Jin Shengjie's eyes flickered, as if he had taken everyone's performance into his eyes: "During this year, you have undergone countless exercises, you should You have mastered the most basic complete equipment forging method. Now, pick up the materials in front of you and forge the equipment you are best at."

As soon as his voice fell, Ouyang Ming raised his hand high and said, "Senior."

Jin Shengjie couldn't help being slightly taken aback, he looked at Ouyang Ming in surprise.

Blacksmith assessment has become a common practice over the years, and he already has experience in presiding over this annual assessment several times. However, he has never encountered a precedent for someone to speak in the middle.

Frowning slightly, Jin Shengjie said, "You are..."

Ouyang Ming said loudly: "My next Ouyang Ming is from Changlong County."

"Oh, so it's the blacksmith from Changlong County." Jin Shengjie said lightly, but felt relieved. It turned out that he was not a blacksmith who grew up in the capital, no wonder he had to understand the rules.

If it was on other occasions, he would definitely ignore it. But at this moment, under the gaze of many eyes, he still showed enough demeanor.

"What's the matter with you?"

Ouyang Ming raised the iron ingot in his hand high and said: "Senior, these materials are too bad, I ask for some!"

"Change...materials?" Jin Shengjie was slightly startled, dumbfounded.

Yi Yucheng had a bad intention, so he immediately took a step forward and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, the official blacksmith examinations of all generations have all used the same materials, what qualifications do you have to be excluded?"

Jin Shengjie said slowly: "That's right. With less than a year's experience in mastering arms, using iron ingots as materials is undoubtedly the best way to practice. As for more advanced materials, let's talk about them after your skills have been gradually improved."

Ouyang Ming stuttered his lips and said, "However, such materials cannot forge good equipment!"

Jin Shengjie's complexion was slightly gloomy. If he didn't want to maintain his image in front of everyone, he would have scolded him long ago.

Feng Guangyuan also had a gloomy face, and said: "Boy, don't mess around, I'll give you better materials, can you forge it? It's so ambitious, what else can you do besides wasting materials?"

Ouyang Ming couldn't help laughing, and said, "Senior Feng, if you say that, don't you want to kill him?"

Feng Guangyuan laughed out of breath. He turned his head and said, "You are from Changlong County. Since you have registered, you must have a guarantor. Who is your guarantor?"

Du Gaoge, who was on the sidelines, was dumbfounded for a long time, wishing he could go down and drag Ouyang Ming away.

In front of so many people, there was such a big scandal, it was really embarrassing to throw it at grandma's house. At this moment, he wished he wasn't here. However, after hearing Feng Guangyuan's question, he had no choice but to stand up bravely and said: "Master Feng calm down, his guarantor is our IKEA Pavilion."

There were whispers all around, and the three words IKEA Pavilion also had a certain influence among the crowd.

Feng Guangyuan snorted coldly, and said: "You IKEA Pavilion doesn't understand the rules! You actually let such an ignorant person in. Hmph, could it be that you don't take our blacksmith seriously?"

Du Gaoge's head was filled with sweat immediately, and he said: "Masters, forgive me, we are wrong, so let's take him away!"

Although Ouyang Ming was a distinguished guest of the chief shopkeeper of Changlong County, if he was compared with many blacksmiths in the capital, his status would be far apart.

Jin Shengjie waved his hand lightly, and said, "Hey, what's going on with you two, you two are outsiders and don't know the rules, so you can't kill them all just because of a few words!"

"Yes." Feng Guangyuan and Yi Yucheng quickly responded, but they secretly thought in their hearts that it was your old man who was right anyway.

Jin Shengjie said in a deep voice: "Ouyangming, don't ask too much. Just take the assessment honestly. If you pass the test successfully, I promise you to continue to participate next year."

"As expected of Master Jin, you really have a big heart!"

"This kid is really lucky. Fortunately, he met Master Jin, otherwise..."

Jin Shengjie stroked his long beard lightly, with a friendly smile on his face, enjoying the compliments from everyone below.

Ouyang Ming raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, when he turned his eyes, he saw the bitter expression on Du Gaoge's face, he couldn't help shaking his head slightly, sighed inwardly, and stopped speaking.

Jin Shengjie waved his hand and said, "Let's begin."

Everyone in the field responded in unison, each of them restrained their minds, picked up the iron ingots on the casting table, and began to forge their best equipment.

However, there were two young men next to the two casting platforms closest to Ouyang Ming. They glanced at them with disgust, but turned away from them. They would rather go to other casting platforms than stand with him. .

Unknowingly, there was a young man beside Hu Yicheng, and he asked in a low voice, "Daddy, this... is the very powerful uncle you mentioned?"

Hearing this sentence, Hu Yicheng looked embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Look carefully, I believe that he will not let you down!"

Du Gaoge snorted angrily, and also said in a low voice: "Brother Hu, do you think he will still have a chance if he disturbs the assessment venue so much?"

Hu Yicheng was stunned for a long while, speechless.

However, at this moment, Ouyang Ming, who seemed to have been abandoned by everyone, let out a long sigh, and weakly picked up an iron ingot.

With a slight flick of the wrist, the ammunition suddenly boiled.
