Holy Swordsmith

Chapter 175
"One piece of high-grade three-grade iron essence, one piece of medium-grade four-grade iron essence, and one quasi-fifth-grade iron essence." The master swordsmith told Liu Kaiming's achievements.

"Well, this Liu Kaiming is the son of Master Liu, a senior swordsmith. He is also among the top swordsmiths. How could he be ranked ninth?"

"Yeah, it shouldn't be. I thought that Liu Kaiming should be ranked fifth at least."

"It seems that even the son of a high-level swordsmith may not be much better than other swordsmiths."

Immediately, there was a burst of discussion. Although these discussions were all from the audience outside the square, the discussion was extremely intense. Liu Kaiming's achievements this time were obviously beyond everyone's expectations, and it could even be said that they were disappointed. , and the sound gradually spread into the square, heard by many swordsmiths, and flowed into Liu Kaiming's ears.If it is an ordinary swordsmith master, such achievements are something to be proud of, but unfortunately, Liu Kaiming has another identity, that is, the son of the senior swordsmith Master Liu, with such a father on top, Liu Kaiming's achievements are natural Much attention and great expectations.

Liu Kaiming was originally in a bad mood, but when he heard the audience's comments, his heart sank even more, and his face was a little cloudy.But the thing is that he screwed up himself, and he can't blame others. Liu Kaiming can only hold his breath. If the results of the first stage are not good, then he will make up for it in the second stage.

Even if the results of the second stage are closely related to the first stage, two of the three pieces of tempered steel were originally used to complete the sword shape, so the quality of the tempered steel also affects the subsequent results.But sword-shaped casting is also a craft, even if the quality of tempered steel is slightly inferior, as long as the sword-shaped casting passes the test, the situation can still be reversed.Therefore, Liu Kaiming can only use facts to prove that his reputation is not just in vain.

"No.8, Niu Dali." The master swordsmith continued to shout, and at the same time called out Niu Dali's results, "A piece of high-grade fourth-grade iron essence, and a piece of quasi-fifth-grade iron essence."

There were only two finished pieces of tempered steel, and this situation immediately caused a wave of criticism. Every time a person was mentioned, the audience began to discuss excitedly.But among the participating swordsmith masters, many people shook their heads in disappointment. They thought they had hope to enter No.8, and now they heard that their names were not in the No.8, so they must have not entered the top. It's ten, so I'm so disappointed.There are also a few master swordsmiths who show disdain. They are obviously only No. [-], and they don't pay attention to them. Their eyes are on higher rankings.

……

"No. 5, Wu Feidao." The swordsmith announced No. 5, "One piece of semi-fifth-grade iron essence, one piece of inferior fifth-grade iron essence, and one piece of medium-level fifth-grade iron essence."

Although the first few master swordsmiths caused a lot of discussion among the crowd, most of them just joined in the fun. In fact, neither the audience nor the big shots in the stands were particularly interested in these few people.But Wu Feidao was different. The adopted son and apprentice of a high-level swordsmith, and a rare swordsmith genius, he was a strong competitor in this swordsmithing competition, and even Mei Gaoyong did not dare to underestimate him.

Among the civilian audience, many people thought that Wu Feidao was definitely a candidate for the top three. Even if he couldn't make it into the top three, he would be fine in fourth place, but now he is ranked fifth.

And the big shots in the stands also had strange eyes. They also knew a lot about Wu Feidao, a swordsmith genius, so they all knew that the fifth place was an achievement that any master swordsmith should look up to. Putting it on Wu Feidao's body, it is indeed a bit low.

"If he is the fifth, then Ye Shi's grades are better than him." Wu Tianyue suddenly smiled in the stands. In her opinion, it is absolute to enter the top ten based on Ye Shi's performance, and the top five problems are also Not much, now that Wu Feidao appeared first, Ye Shi's grades must be better than Wu Feidao's.

Wu Tianyue didn't know much about Ye Shi's sword casting ability, but Wu Tianyue knew a lot about Wu Feidao.Ye Shi could be better than Wu Feidao, Wu Tianyue felt vaguely happy in her heart, and said it without paying attention for a moment.

"You really hope that Ye Shi's grades are better than Feidao's?" Wu Tianao looked at Wu Tianyue with a smile.

Xiong Man was also smiling and remained silent, even Wu Tianyang had a strange expression on his face.This situation made Wu Tianyue's face turn red, and she quickly explained: "Why, Feidao is the most powerful among the three participating swordsmiths in our City Lord's Mansion. Of course, I hope he wins."

But Wu Tianyue's explanation still didn't satisfy Wu Tianao and the others. That gaze, as if seeing through Wu Tianyue's mind, made Wu Tianyue lower his head rarely.

"Fifth? Then, Ye Shi is fourth." Wu Feidao stood in the square and looked at Ye Shi. Wu Feidao had no doubts about the top three rankings. Others might think that he was fighting for it. The ability of the top three, but in fact Wu Feidao knows that his own strength is not enough.

It would take at least a year to rank among the top three. The current him is much worse than Mei Gaoyong and the others, and even Chen Hong is slightly better than him.Therefore, even though Wu Feidao was very sure about Ye Shi's ability to forge swords, he didn't think that Ye Shi could be ranked among the top three at this time. Even if Ye Shi's talent was higher than his, it would still take nearly a year. to do it.

Not only Wu Feidao, but also the heads of many aristocratic families and mid-level cities in the stands had the same idea, waiting for the master swordsmith to say Ye Shi's name.The audience outside the square didn't know who Ye Shi was at all, but they were full of curiosity about the master swordsmith who could squeeze Wu Feidao to No.5.

"No.4, Chen Hong." The master swordsmith said No.4's name.

Immediately, everyone was amazed, the audience was only slightly agitated, and the owners of the aristocratic families and the city owners of the medium-sized cities in the stands also started to discuss. Chen Hong actually ranked No.4, compared to those audiences Well, they all know that this Chen Hong is the No. 3 popular candidate in this sword casting competition.They were already surprised that the few people in front were squeezed out, but this Chen Hong, who thought that there would be no mistakes at first, was also excluded from the top three.

"Impossible." Chen Hong in the square stared wide-eyed, with an expression of disbelief. He is very confident about this competition. He is determined to win the top three, and even has the idea of ​​competing for the first place. Maybe, he couldn't even make it to the top three.

"Ye Shi pushed Chen Hong down?" Wu Feidao also showed a look of astonishment at this moment.
