Holy Swordsmith

Chapter 145 Failure?

"You can't be wrong. The tempered steel that exceeds two thousand refinements is probably close to the third-grade fine steel." Master Wu said in shock. Even he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw such a scene. Steel has been tempered and steel, even he is almost in such a state.

I'm afraid that Ye Shi, a young master swordsmith, has already reached the ability to forge sixth-grade swords. The reason why he is still a master swordsmith instead of a senior swordsmith is just a little bit worse in other aspects.The mysterious power that can increase the strength of the sword holder is the threshold that has blocked countless swordsmith masters. It is normal to be blocked from the door. The four senior swordsmiths all know that as long as this threshold is passed, then This leaf stone really spread its wings and soared, completely stabilizing the status of a senior swordsmith.

"What kind of person can teach such a student, a high-level swordsmith? No, I'm afraid it is a swordsmith who has such abilities." Master Mei said from the side, his tone was full of emotion, no matter how talented a person is, there is no such thing. Famous teachers will also take many detours to become ordinary geniuses.As for Ye Shi's ability, people have to believe that there must be an extremely powerful famous master behind him, not even a high-level swordsmith can have such an ability, only the master swordsmith.

Master Mei, who has always been a mature and prudent person, actually expressed such emotion. One can imagine how shocked Ye Shi was when he brought four senior swordsmiths.Originally, the four of them looked at Ye Shi's ability, and they all loved talent, and wanted to give him a good guide after the sword-making competition, so that this sword-making genius can go further.But now, they couldn't afford to lose this face. Except for the mysterious power that they couldn't explain clearly and could only understand by themselves, they couldn't give any opinions on the others.

"I'm afraid, the No.1 in the first stage is this Ye Shi, maybe the results of the three stages are the same." Master Liu also said.

Indeed, it was a bit shocking to say that, but the other three senior swordsmiths all nodded, deeply agreeing with this.Unexpectedly, there would be such a scene. The appearance of a young master swordsmith almost decided the outcome of the competition just before the first stage of the competition.

The city lords of many medium-sized cities felt their hearts sink, and the situation they least wanted to encounter happened. Some of them even looked at Huang Haiya with jealous eyes. Originally, what they found out was the swordsmith master of Gaori City who participated this time. A middle-aged swordsmith surnamed Xu, although his swordsmithing ability is not bad, can only be said to be about the same compared to other swordsmiths.In this way, the chances of competition are very great, but now, with the appearance of this young swordsmith, the four senior swordsmiths explained that they no longer have the idea of ​​competition in their hearts.But the patriarchs of the aristocratic families in Tianwu City fell silent, just like Wu Tianao, they also had a strong desire to win over this young master swordsmith.

At this time, the master swordsmith on the high platform of the square, and the strong sword repairer, still explained the situation of the master swordsmith in the square.Among them, some people paid attention to Ye Shi, but they inevitably felt contempt in their hearts, and their eyesight was not as amazing as that of the four senior swordsmiths. They just said it a few times and then turned away. , nobody else noticed.The audience continued to shout, while the master swordsmith continued to forge the sword without being affected in the slightest.

"Start tempering." Ye Shi took out the second piece of ore, and began to hammer and temper it. With the first piece of fine steel, Ye Shi only planned to pass the second piece of ore, and could not continue.

At this time, Ye Shi also remembered that this is a sword casting competition, so we can't go too far, otherwise the three pieces of tempered steel that go up are all top-quality, and it will be difficult to justify it later.Although Ye Shi wanted to win the competition, he didn't want to be so ostentatious.If keeping a low profile can win, Ye Shi will definitely choose to keep a low profile, but it is obviously impossible to keep a low profile in order to win, so don't be too ostentatious.

Dangdang!Dangdang!
Ye Shi continued to use the hammer twice, but this time Ye Shi no longer continued, but chose to stop at a certain period of time, and the interruption was irregular, as if he had missed his hand.Otherwise, it would be really self-defeating to make people see that it was intentional.In addition to moving hands and feet with one hammer and two rings, Ye Shi also left a hand in the final tempering. Originally, the first piece of tempered steel was fine steel that had been hammered more than two thousand times, but now this piece, Ye Shi only used eighteen hundred hammers.

Coupled with the mistakes in one hammer and two strikes, the tempered steel this time can only be regarded as first-grade fine steel, but in fact second-grade fine steel is close to third-grade.Although this tempered steel is considered good, it is much worse than the previous piece of tempered steel. Ye Shi also showed a dissatisfied expression.

This expression was for the big shots in the stands. Although Ye Shi didn't mind the stares of so many people, he could still play it as usual.But being stared at like this all the time, Ye Shi naturally had to put on a show, and he couldn't let those big shots know what he was thinking. You should know that most of the people sitting in the stands were old foxes from the previous generation, so it was very difficult to deal with.

"It seems that the second piece of tempered steel of this leaf stone is not very good?" Someone in the stands said, and it was also what most people thought in their hearts. They turned their eyes to the four senior swordsmiths, wanting to know the four The opinion of a senior swordsmith.

"Indeed, compared to the first piece of tempered steel, this second piece of tempered steel is a bit worse." Master Wu frowned. It is also good, there is no problem reaching the first-grade refined steel.

The reason why Master Wu frowned was not because of this, but because he felt something was wrong. This was just a feeling in his heart. It seemed that Ye Shi's movements were a little deliberate, as if he had stopped abruptly.Although it looked like an accident, and also seemed to have reached Ye Shi's limit, Master Wu felt this way.

Except for Master Wu, the other three senior swordsmiths did not notice this feeling.Like Master Wu, the other three senior swordsmiths were a little disappointed, but they were not too serious. Even if the second piece of tempered steel was a bit short, they could still kill most of the swordsmiths present, not to mention Ye Shi and the second piece of steel. A piece of tempered steel.

In the first stage of the Sword Forging Contest, the competition was to temper steel. Every master swordsmith had to submit three pieces of tempered steel. It is difficult to compete for a good ranking.However, if there is a good piece of tempered steel, it can turn the situation around. Although it is three pieces of hardened steel, it is a piece that determines the outcome. Pay three yuan, and finally let them judge.

It was precisely because Ye Shi was invincible in the first piece of tempered steel that Master Mei said that Ye Shi might win the sword casting contest.Even though it was the second piece of tempered steel, these senior swordsmiths were a little disappointed, but their thoughts on this still did not change.

"However, that's because compared to the first piece of tempered steel, the first piece of tempered steel is so good, I'm afraid it will be No.1 in the first stage, and the second piece of tempered steel, regardless of the first piece Not to mention tempered steel, other swordsmith masters can match it, and I'm afraid it won't exceed three yuan." Master Mei said.

Originally, after listening to Master Wu's words, the city owners of the medium-sized cities felt a little happy. Even with the first piece of tempered steel, they might lose the first stage of the sword casting competition, but as long as it is the supernatural power of that leaf stone If you don't have such a strong ability to play, then standing outside the sword casting competition, the middle cities compete with each other, naturally you don't want Gao Richeng to have a young and powerful sword casting master like Ye Shi.So, after seeing Ye Shi's dissatisfaction with the second piece of tempered steel, and the senior swordsmiths also responded, their hearts were finally relieved.

However, it didn't take long for Master Mei's words to make the city lords of the medium-sized cities pick up again. Although the second piece of tempered steel is not as good as the first piece, it can still be ranked in the top three among the tempered steel of other swordsmiths. Ability, for the city owners of medium-sized cities, is actually not much different from before.

Except for the city lords of the medium-sized cities, everyone in Tianwu City nodded in satisfaction. Finally, the second piece of tempered steel did not affect their thoughts. Worth the investment.Perhaps the next high-level swordsmith could appear in their family.

"Good job." Huang Haiya also became excited at this time. Among the city lords of many medium-sized cities, only Huang Haiya was the most enthusiastic and the only one who was happy.

"City Master Huang, these are the talents you cultivated in Gao Richeng!"

"That's right. I heard that City Lord Huang originally chose a master swordsmith surnamed Xu to participate in the competition. It was a later decision that allowed us to discover such a genius."

Every patriarch or heir of a family in Tianwu City is close to Huang Haiya. If he wants to recruit Ye Shi, he must not only recruit Ye Shi, but also deal with the city owner who brought Ye Shi to the competition.Perhaps this Huangcheng Lord, in front of this young master swordsmith, has a very important weight.

"Where, where." Huang Haiya could only answer blindly.

In fact, Huang Haiya didn't know about Ye Shi, the young swordsmith, until not long ago, and it was Master Xu's idea to choose Ye Shi to compete.Although the relationship between Huang Haiya and Ye Shi seems to be good now, Huang Haiya is also a mature character, so naturally he will not be fooled by a few words and promise something.Let's not talk about whether Ye Shi will be annoyed or not at that time, even the big shots in Wucheng these days, it will not be a good thing for him to offend any of them.Instead of this, it is better to pretend to be stupid.
