Holy Swordsmith

Chapter 143

Whoohoo!

The iron ore burning in the furnace made a burst of sound, and the iron ore gradually turned red as time went by.This is a sign that the iron ore is starting to heat up. At this time, Ye Shi took out the high-grade ore he had prepared. For this sword casting competition, Ye Shi took it out of the store warehouse.

"Red gold stone." Ye Shi looked at the red ore in his hand, recently hooked it slightly, and threw the red gold stone into it casually.

As a high-grade ore, even a small amount of red gold stone can add texture to the refined ore.And red gold stone is an ore material that has a very high affinity for the power of gold. It is one of the main materials for casting high-grade swords. Adding a small star of red gold stone can bring a great capacity to accommodate the power of the five elements. possibility.In addition to having a very high affinity for the power of the gold element, it also helps more or less the power of the other five elements.

It's just a contest between master swordsmiths, there is no need to be too serious, but also not too negligent, Ye Shi chose the red gold stone, but only used a very small amount.Even though the rules of the Sword Forging Competition stipulated that the addition of other ore materials should not exceed [-]% at most, what Ye Shi added was less than half of it.If it wasn't for the presence of a high-level swordsmith, Ye Shi was afraid that his hammering skills would be discovered, so he didn't plan to go too far. Ye Shi could win the championship with only his skills without adding any other ore materials.

"What is that?" All of a sudden, there was a trace of doubt in everyone's mind.

What can be thrown into the furnace should be ore materials for tempering, but compared to other master swordsmiths, Ye Shi used very little.Some people even suspect that as an added material, that little thing may not exceed [-]% of the total amount. This is because the thing may look small, but its weight is relatively high.

As for Huang Haiya, who sent Ye Shi as the representative, he felt a little nervous at this time. This time the sword casting competition was not as heavy as before, and the weight was obviously much heavier.Even if he can't get a very high ranking, Huang Haiya doesn't want to be too low, otherwise he won't be able to get proper resources, and his Gaori City may fall into a resource crisis.

"That thing should be a high-grade ore, no wonder." Sitting not far from Wu Tianao, Master Wu said, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, high-grade ore is definitely an extremely precious sword-making material.Even high-level swordsmiths don't necessarily have high-level ore castings, so seeing Ye Shi take out red gold stones, Master Wu was both surprised and normal.What was surprising was that Ye Shi, a master swordsmith at such a young age, actually took a high-grade ore to participate in the competition. He thought it was normal, because it was a high-grade ore, this weight was normal.

"Advanced ore!" Hearing Master Wu's words, the city lords of mid-level cities all showed surprise expressions. This high-level ore is a rare item in high-level cities. to a point.As for the master swordsmiths in medium-sized cities, it is extremely difficult, otherwise they would not go to the auction to try their luck.But now this young master swordsmith has some high-grade ores, which has to be surprising.

Many people turned their attention to Huang Haiya. Obviously, the appearance of high-grade ore made everyone suspect that Huang Haiya did it.How can I say that this high-level ore is not only valuable, but also has no market, that is, only some people with a little connection can get it. As the lord of Gaori City, Huang Haiya should be the person with the most chance of getting high-level ore in Gaori City.

Huang Haiya smiled and did not express any doubts about the crowd, but he was relieved that the added ore material was prepared by Ye Shi himself.Although Ye Shi had already informed before that that he would use high-grade ore, Huang Haiya, the precious high-grade ore, also knew it. He didn't believe it until he saw it with his own eyes and got the confirmation of Master Wu's high-grade sword casting.

"Even if it is a high-level ore, it is useless if the swordsmith is not capable enough." Master Wu said this, mainly because he was afraid that the appearance of high-level ore would cause these laymen who are laymen in the way of sword-making to be born. Misunderstand.

At this moment, on the high platform in the center of the square, swordsmith masters and sword repair masters also explained the situation one after another. The first stage of the swordsmith competition, iron forging and tempering continued.A master swordsmith had already started hammering and refining the ore, and there were bursts of hammering sounds in the square.

With the start of blacksmithing, most of the eyes that were originally focused on Ye Shi moved away a lot. Instead of continuing to wait for this young swordsmith, it is better to look at the situation of other swordsmiths first.Even so, there are still many eyes on Ye Shi.

"It's almost there." Ye Shi watched the iron ore in the furnace burn red, and he had already fused with the red gold stone, and the next step was to hammer and temper the two to truly fuse together.Ye Shi used iron tongs to clamp out the ore, put it on the stone table, and swung the hammer placed beside the table.

Before this, Ye Shi had already tried the hammer, and after a few swings, he knew the quality of the hammer and how much force it should apply.Although Ye Shi forged swords and iron mainly relied on the skills of the holy swordsmith, even if it was skills, it was impossible to ignore everything.

Dangdang!

Ye Shi's first hammer sounded twice, although the sound was overwhelmed by other hammering sounds, most people couldn't see it.But in the stands, the eyes of the four senior swordsmiths lit up.They also couldn't hear the sound, but they could see some clues from the place where the hammer fell and the movement of the ore. When the hammer went down, it was very likely that there would be one hammer and two rings, and the probability was more than double that of a single ring.

"The first hammer doesn't mean anything, but it is also an important data. This Ye Shi did a good job." Master Wu said with a smile.

The other three senior swordsmiths nodded one after another. The most important thing for a swordsmith is stability. Anticlimax is the least desirable thing, but this is the basic thing.If the foundation is laid well, the stability will be higher, and a good hammer is a symbol of reaching a certain level. For example, Ye Shi's hammer has been recognized by the four senior swordsmiths.

"It's really good. The skill of this first hammer is no worse than that of your genius disciple, Old Wu." Another senior swordsmith, Master Liu, said.

Originally, Master Wu's words had already surprised many big people around, but Master Liu's words were even more shocking.That genius disciple of Master Wu is none other than Wu Feidao, who reached the fourth-rank swordsmithing master at a young age, and not long ago, he even reached the fifth-rank swordsmith master. Today, he has completely stabilized his realm and is at the fifth-rank swordsmith master's level. top.Such a genius made the other three senior swordsmiths jealous, but they didn't expect a younger master swordsmith to come today, and his ability seemed to be no worse than Wu Feidao's.

"Keep watching. There are quite a few master swordsmiths who are good at the first strike, but fail later. Such a young master swordsmith probably doesn't have enough foundation." Another senior swordsmith, Master Mei, said, although I am also very satisfied with Ye Shi's first hammer, but compared with the first hammer, the stability of the latter is more important, and it is not too early to draw conclusions.

Everyone nodded, and looked at Ye Shi again. During their conversation, Ye Shi had already hammered several times. Those middle-level city owners and the family owners of Tianwu City didn't see any tricks. Waiting for comments from senior swordsmiths.

Although on the high platform in the center of the square, there is a master swordsmith explaining, but first of all, his eyesight is naturally weaker than that of senior swordsmiths, and the master swordsmith explaining will not just stare at Ye Shi and say, now they are talking to Ye Shi The situation aroused curiosity.

The city lords of those medium-sized cities all looked a little weird. It was not good news for them to see such a sword-making genius appear in other medium-sized cities.Only Huang Haiya kept smiling. The better Ye Shi performed, the happier he was.

While everyone was waiting for the senior swordsmiths' comments, the faces of the four senior swordsmiths became more serious, their brows twitched slightly, and the four of them felt a sense of inconceivability at the same time.

"Unexpectedly, the stability is so strong!" Master Wu's voice revealed a burst of surprise, and it can even be said to be a kind of shock.

Even the other three high-level swordsmiths had the same expressions. This situation surprised the city owners of the medium-sized cities and the people of Tianwu City.What exactly did the four senior swordsmiths discover could surprise the four master swordsmiths to such an extent.

"Genius, a real genius." Master Mei murmured at this time. For him who is usually cautious, he can get such a comment, which can be seen at this time. His inner surprise and approval.

In the end what happened?The city lords of the medium city and other people in Tianwu City were puzzled, but the four senior swordsmiths seemed to be shocked. They could only cast their eyes on Ye Shi, wanting to see clearly what was going on.It's just that they are all laymen in sword casting, and they don't see much fame. They just think that Ye Shi is very stable, that's all, and other swordsmith masters are not the same.

But only the four senior swordsmiths saw the tricks inside, and the other one was Ye Shi, the person involved.At this time, Ye Shi didn't know what he was doing, and he had already startled the four senior swordsmiths. In order to deal with it in a low-key manner, Ye Shi only used one hammer and two blows, but as he got better, Ye Shi forgot to stop , has remained in this state.Being able to keep hammering twice without interruption is an ability only possessed by senior swordsmiths, so Ye Shi's action shocked the four senior swordsmiths.

Even if they couldn't hear it, what they saw with their eyes couldn't be denied. This young master swordsmith actually caught up with the four senior swordsmiths in forging and tempering. His talent is simply rare in a thousand years. The sword-making genius.

"Master Wu, what's going on?" Wu Tianao asked, at this time he was also very curious.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Master Wu. Wu Tianao was the Lord of Tianwu City, and Master Wu was the senior swordsmith of the City Lord's Mansion. Now that Wu Tianao asked a question, Master Wu would definitely answer and answer their questions. doubts.
