Holy Swordsmith

Chapter 159 The end of the first stage
"Beicheng?" Ye Shi shook his head and said, "No, we are near the square, and there seems to be a battle in Beicheng. If we were really there, we might not be able to come back."

Ye Shi said the last sentence in a joking tone, and it was precisely because of this that Wu Tianao and Du Hengyuan's suspicions were somewhat dispelled.Even if he was joking, he wouldn't have mentioned the battle in Beicheng frankly.In the northern city, the battle movement became a bit louder, not only those with strong cultivation bases, but also ordinary civilians could feel it, and Ye Shi would know it, which is not unusual.But to speak out frankly, and even speak in a joking tone at the end, which obviously makes people suspicious, but too obvious flaws have become normal instead.

If the other party is really in Beicheng and is one of the fighters, then the first thing to do is to avoid this topic. Only when you are calm can you be so indifferent.Furthermore, regarding Ye Shi's cultivation base, it was also the reason why Wu Tianao and Du Hengyuan dispelled their doubts.Not to mention that what they can see is the cultivation base of the fourth rank of the sword, even if the opponent really hides the cultivation base, but at this age, how strong the cultivation base can be, the fifth rank of the sword is considered a monster, let alone fighting The latter is clearly a strong swordsman of the tenth rank of swordsmanship.

"It seems that I made a mistake." Xiong Man rubbed his nose, with a sorry face on his face, looking at the appearance of Ye Shi and Chen Ying, even Xiong Man himself did not believe that these two people would be fighting people .

Wu Tianao and Du Hengyuan nodded. They were a little disappointed that the person who fought lost his clue again.But now, Ye Shi, the sword-making genius, was being received, and the two of them couldn't be like before. Wu Tianao nodded to Wu Tianyang, indicating that Wu Tianyang could order someone to serve.

Wu Tianyang nodded, and with a snap of his fingers, a waiter came in immediately. Under Wu Tianyang's order, the waiter didn't take long to walk out, and the dishes were served one after another.

"Originally, City Lord Huang was there, but he seemed to have something to do, so he left first." Wu Tianyang said to Ye Shi, except for Ye Shi and Chen Ying, all the people present were from Tianwu City.

Originally, Huang Haiya was also present as the lord of Gaori City, but because of some things, he left.But this time the protagonist of the guest table was Ye Shi, Huang Haiya was not too important, so no one blamed him.Ye Shi, on the other hand, felt a little strange that Huang Haiya left the table early. This guest table was hosted by the city lord of Tianwu City, and Huang Haiya would leave the table early. It seemed that it was not an ordinary thing.However, since Huang Haiya didn't say anything, Ye Shi couldn't ask more questions. What's more, now that Huang Haiya had left, Ye Shi couldn't find anyone to ask.

The meal passed quickly, during which Wu Tianao and the three of them chatted with Ye Shi, and it was only then that Ye Shi knew the identities of the other people.The person sitting on Wu Tianao's left, that is, the second seat is the current Patriarch of the Du family, Du Hengyuan.And on Wu Tianao's right, the team that Ye Shi has some affection for is the guest Qing Xiong Man of the City Lord's Mansion.

As for that meal, although it was quiet, it was clear from the eyes that this girl was by no means a quiet person, but Wu Tianao's daughter, Wu Tianyue.During the introduction, Wu Tianyue grinned at Ye Shi, which gave Ye Shi a strange feeling in his heart.

This weird feeling is not a good feeling. In fact, Ye Shi doesn't have any feelings for Wu Tianyue, whether it's a good feeling or a disgusting feeling, he just treats a new acquaintance in a flat way.After all, Ye Shi is not like when he first traveled here, because he is unfamiliar and easy to have a good impression of the people he meets.This weird feeling, like the prey being watched by the hunter, made Ye Shi shudder. Looking at Wu Tianyue, the first thing Ye Shi thought of was Zhang Ling, maybe this is another naughty nobleman Miss.

"It's almost time, let's go back to the square." Wu Tianyang said.

After the dinner, Wu Tianao and the others left first, and the rest were Wu Tianyang and Wu Feidao, and Ye Shi took Chen Ying.There was still a competition in the afternoon. Wu Feidao, the other two master swordsmiths, and Ye Shi were all participating, so naturally they had to rush back.

When they returned to the square, many people had already returned. Just like in the morning, strict inspections were required to enter the square, for fear that someone would bring finished tempered steel into the troubled waters.Even Wu Feidao of the City Lord's Mansion and the other two master swordsmiths are no exception, Ye Shi is naturally the same as Ye Shi.

After inspection, Ye Shi quickly returned to his stove. At this time, there were two pieces of finished tempered steel on the stone table, which he tempered in the morning.Ye Shi checked to make sure there were no accidents, and then stood quietly waiting for the afternoon game time to arrive.

As time passed, all the master swordsmiths gathered together, and the people outside the square also flocked to surround the whole square like in the morning.The temperature was even hotter in the afternoon, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of the audience at all. I am afraid that these people will only disperse after the competition is over.

"At two o'clock, the game in the afternoon begins. Just like in the morning, it only lasts three hours. Master swordsmiths who haven't finished tempering three pieces of steel should pay attention." , passed into the ears of all the swordsmiths, and all the swordsmiths immediately gave an order, and the apprentices began to heat up the furnace.

At this time, the sword repairer next to the master swordsmith who was explaining also yelled, and after this sound, all the audience yelled, no worse than in the morning.

"The performance was too outstanding in the morning. City Lord Wu and others have noticed me. Let's restrain ourselves a little in the afternoon." Ye Shi thought in his heart. At the same time, looking at the remaining three pieces of iron ore, Ye Shi also counted.

In the first stage of the iron forging and tempering competition, it is necessary to complete the tempering of steel within a total of six hours in the morning and afternoon, and select the best three pieces to submit to the review.If there were only three pieces in all, it would be impossible for the master swordsmith to choose. To Ye Shi, although it was not important, if there were really only three pieces, it might attract the attention of others.

"Let's temper four pieces. In the afternoon, these two pieces of iron ore don't need to be very good." Ye Shi thought, the movement in his hands didn't stop. Ye Shi threw it in.

puff.

Suddenly, sparks erupted.

As the time went down, there was a sound of iron strikes in the square, and it was as hot as the morning.Ye Shi has also joined the red gold stone and started hammering and tempering. This time Ye Shi only used a hammer and a ring, and only occasionally raised it. Compared with the morning, Ye Shi's performance this time is really too ordinary.

Finally, the three hours in the afternoon came, and the first stage of the competition was over, and people wearing specific costumes came in one by one, and came to the swordsmiths with plates. A person who tempers steel.
