Chapter 264 Advanced Assessment

Hu Lingfeng, like Yuan Lexin, is a disciple of Master Wu Hongxi.

However, the actual identities of the two of them are far apart, and there is no comparison at all.

Yuan Lexin is the second disciple of Master Wu Hongxi, and he himself has reached the attainment of a senior blacksmith, and is even a talented person who is expected to be promoted.

In contrast, Hu Lingfeng is just a young apprentice who has just started for only three years, and he has never even got arms or spiritual fire.

There are many such apprentices in the mansion of any master blacksmith in the capital. They have the talent to become blacksmiths, but because the number of munitions and spiritual fires that can be produced each year is limited, the competition is so fierce that it is beyond anyone's imagination.

Although Hu Lingfeng has studied hard for three years, whether he can pass the apprenticeship assessment and obtain arms is still a problem.

In his eyes, Yuan Lexin was almost indistinguishable from Master Wu Hongxi.

At the very least, Yuan Lexin had never greeted him in Wufu, and he even wondered if Master Yuan knew his name?

At this moment, hearing Yuan Lexin's harmonious voice, he walked out in a daze, bowed down to Jin Shengjie, and said, "Greetings to Master Jin."

Jin Shengjie waved his big sleeve lightly and lifted him up. He took a look and asked Ouyang Ming, "This is..."

Ouyang Ming smiled wryly in his heart, but said on his mouth, "This is a...nephew of the younger generation."

The age difference between the two of them was almost the same. When Hu Lingfeng saw Ouyang Ming from a distance at first, he was not very willing to recognize this uncle. However, at this moment, he was full of gratitude for Ou Yangming's words.

"Oh, so it's Xiaoyou's nephew..." Jin Shengjie said with a half-smile, "I seem to remember,

He seems to be in the apprentice assessment today. "

Ouyang Ming's heart shuddered, and he secretly thought that none of the people who can enjoy a great reputation is simple.

He nodded slightly, and said, "That's right, my nephew is called Hu Lingfeng, and this time he represents Wufu to participate in the apprentice assessment."

Jin Shengjie said slowly: "Okay, young and promising, continue to work hard in the future."

Hu Lingfeng raised his head in surprise and said, "Yes!"

It is extremely difficult to get such an evaluation from Master Jin. But behind Jin Shengjie, Feng Guangyuan and Yi Yucheng looked at each other. They knew that one of the apprentices who passed the test this year had already been determined in advance.

Yuan Lexin smiled and said: "Ling Feng, you will be my junior in the future, so you have to work hard and strive to become an official blacksmith as soon as possible."

When Hu Lingfeng heard this, he immediately raised his head, his face full of surprises.

Saying this in front of so many people is equivalent to giving him a disguised promise. Although Hu Lingfeng is not deeply involved in the world, he can still distinguish the most basic things clearly.

Therefore, the complexity of his mood at this moment is simply indescribable.

Yuan Lexin turned around, the smile on his face became more and more intense, and said: "Master Ou, your secret technique is shocking to the world, if the teacher sees it, he will definitely be happy." He paused, and said solemnly: On behalf of the teacher, I invite you to come over to the house for a talk, and Master Ou agrees."

Ou Yangming turned his head and looked towards Yan Yuanhua intentionally or unintentionally.

The proud twelve sons had lowered their heads a long time ago, not daring to look at him at all.

However, Ouyang Ming would not care about his thoughts, and said with a smile: "It is my honor to meet Master Wu Hongxi. After today, I will definitely find time to go there as soon as possible."

Yuan Le breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

His voice was so low that not many people could hear him clearly except for Ou Yangming.

And Ou Yangming also understood that after Yuan Lexin came forward to praise Hu Lingfeng, Yan Yuanhua just laughed it off when he prevented him from seeking to see Master Wu Hongxi.

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, with different thoughts.

Although Yuan Lexin is not Wu Hongxi, but here, he is undoubtedly the representative of Master Wu. Although everyone had expected it, with Ouyang Ming's ability, there will definitely be top masters who will come forward to make friends with him. But I didn't expect that the first one to come forward was Master Wu Hongxi, who had the title of King of Fine Products.

Jin Shengjie chuckled, and said, "Talk slowly, let's go downstairs first." He took a deep look at Ou Yangming, and said, "Ou Xiaoyou, when you visit Brother Wu, can you let me Join in the fun?"

Ouyang Ming smiled and said, "Master Jin is willing to come, and this junior can't wait for it, but I don't know if Master Wu agrees?"

Yuan Lexin cursed inwardly, the longer Master Jin lived, the thicker his face became! But at this moment, he could only put on a smile and said: "The younger generation is also wishing for it."

Jin Shengjie laughed out loud, Ouyang Ming may be sincere, but Yuan Lexin's words are absolutely false.

However, the secret of how to forge ordinary iron ingots into high-grade equipment has an unparalleled attraction for him. For this matter, let alone let go of his old face, even if it made him pay a greater price, he would not hesitate to do so.

After Jin Shengjie left the field, it was natural to check and announce again.

However, all this has nothing to do with Ouyang Ming. At this moment, the atmosphere on the high platform also changed suddenly, and not many people paid any attention to the routine assessment below.

Such assessments are held more than twice a year. However, such a freak as Ouyang Ming is unique.

After Yuan Lexin, several people stepped forward and talked with him in warm tones.

These people represent other well-known powerful blacksmiths. Although they themselves cannot compare with Jin Shengjie, behind them, there are super blacksmiths who are not inferior to Master Jin.

Ou Yangming also treated them equally, and agreed to visit them at the appropriate time.

After seeing that weapon in Wu Hongxi's mansion, Ouyang Ming knew that these famous masters all had their own unique skills. Although he has a strange weapon on his body, he no longer dares to underestimate any famous master.

He knew that from these masters, he would definitely be able to learn more powerful forging techniques.

Therefore, he will not miss any opportunity.

The assessments of junior and intermediate blacksmiths were completed one after another. Jin Shengjie came to the stage and said with a smile, "Xiaoyou Ou, it's the turn of the senior blacksmith's assessment. Are you willing to participate?"

Ouyang Ming stood up and said, "I'm going to try."

Jin Shengjie nodded slightly, and said: "Ou Xiaoyou, there are some differences in the assessment of senior blacksmiths. It is required to forge a set of high-quality equipment within an hour, and to add attributes to at least one piece of equipment." He looked solemn, and said: "Actually, It is not easy to achieve today's achievements at your age. Even if you wait a few years to take the senior blacksmith assessment, no one would dare to underestimate you."

He also had good intentions, because the difficulty of forging a piece of high-grade equipment is quite different from the difficulty of forging a set of high-quality equipment and adding attributes within an hour.

Although Ouyang Ming possesses a fascinating secret method, he can forge ordinary iron ingots into high-grade equipment.

However, there is still an unreachable gap between high-grade and high-quality suits, not to mention the need for additional attributes.

He had already inquired just now, and Ouyang Ming had only obtained the arms for about a year. In his mind, even if he was the number one talent in the world, he would never be able to achieve such an exaggerated level.

However, Ouyang Ming smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, senior, but this junior still wants to try."

Jin Shengjie raised his eyebrows lightly, looked at Ouyang Ming's confident smile, and finally sighed, "Okay, let's try it." He had already made up his mind, if Ouyang Ming could really create a miracle That's all. But if the assessment fails, he will go all out to eliminate the child's psychological shadow.

The moment he saw Ouyang Ming successfully forging a high-grade saber, his attitude towards this kid became completely different.

This is a treasure, a rare child with the potential of a super blacksmith. With Jin Shengjie's current status among blacksmiths, there is no need to be jealous. Instead, he hopes that more geniuses will emerge and push the status of blacksmiths to a higher position.

Ouyang Ming felt the kindness from Jin Shengjie, he nodded slightly, and walked down.

At this time, there were already twelve people standing in the square. They were of different ages. The oldest one could already see gray spots on his head, while the youngest one seemed to be only a few years older than Ouyang Ming.

Among the many blacksmiths, what really determines their identity and status is not their age and seniority, but their actual ability.

It is actually not difficult to be promoted to a full-fledged blacksmith starting from obtaining arms or spirit fire, and after a long period of tempering, it is also a goal that most people can strive for to advance to the primary and intermediate levels.

However, once the threshold of advanced level is encountered, the situation is completely different.

This level, in the eyes of most blacksmiths, is a huge mountain that cannot be climbed.

In the capital, it is not difficult to find blacksmiths of intermediate level and below, but it is even more difficult to find a high-level blacksmith to create special equipment for oneself.

If you don't have a certain status, no matter how much money you offer, it will be useless.

There are not many middle-level blacksmiths in the capital, but there are still very few who are confident in making high-level blacksmiths. For each assessment, more than ten people can come forward, which is already the limit.

Seeing Ouyang Ming stepping down from the high platform, the expressions of more than ten people in the arena were all different.

Of course, some of them smiled and showed their favor, but some of them did not hide the jealousy in their eyes.

Hu Lingfeng took his father's hand and asked in a low voice, "Daddy, can uncle succeed?"

Hu Yicheng was startled, he stuttered and looked at Du Kege.

Du Kege was taken aback for a moment, and wanted to tell them the truth. It is impossible for a person who has obtained arms for only one year to reach an advanced level. However, when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them abruptly.

This Ouyang Ming is too weird, no matter what happens to him, it doesn't seem surprising.

Jin Shengjie glanced at the crowd below, and said coldly, "Everyone, the assessment...begins."
