Holy Swordsmith

179 Chapter 179
"Master Ye Shi has started." Immediately, all the people in the audience cheered up and stared in Ye Shi's direction.

The same is true for the patriarchs of the aristocratic families and the city owners of medium-sized cities in the stands. Even the swordsmith masters who can't be distracted have looked over. The ability to cast sword shapes from stone.

"Fifth grade iron essence, that's enough." Ye Shi threw the quenched steel into the furnace to heat it up.

Unlike others, Ye Shi definitely chose two pieces of tempered steel to cast the sword shape after contemplation. As for the first-grade fine steel, it is actually the tempered steel of third-grade fine steel. Get it done.The first stage is already too prominent, this second stage, a little water, must be done.

Ye Shi wants to win, but he doesn't want to win well. Making a fortune in silence is the last word. Maybe doing this will make people feel a little anticlimactic, but it's worth it to save trouble in the future.Therefore, Ye Shi threw in the first piece of tempered steel, the top-grade fifth-grade iron essence, with the idea of ​​submitting it after completion, which was different from other swordsmith masters who practiced their hands first.

Whoosh whoosh.

The sparks in the stove flickered and made bursts of noise. Chen Ying's skill in controlling the stove and asking questions became more and more proficient, and Ye Shi didn't even need to make corrections.As the temperature of the first-grade five-grade iron essence in the furnace boils, the iron essence begins to take on a bright red color, which is a sign that the iron essence has been burned to a certain extent. Take it out at this time, and you can start casting and polishing .

Ye Shi took the iron clip and pulled out the red-hot iron essence. He swung the hammer beside him and began to beat.Compared with tempering steel, casting and polishing sword shapes is more technical work. It is really difficult to cast and polish a whole piece of tempered steel into a sword shape with only a hammer.

when!when!when!
Ye Shi hammered the tempered steel steadily. At this time, Ye Shi didn't use any skills, but just hammered like this.Even so, Ye Shi's steady movements were exactly the same as those of other swordsmiths, but such a quiet performance disappointed the audience.

"What's going on, I feel that Master Ye Shi's hammering is not much different from other swordsmith masters."

"It shouldn't be. Master Ye Shi is No.1 in the first stage of the competition. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this."

For Ye Shi's mediocre performance, many people were disappointed, but many people still had hope. Master Ye Shi just looked ordinary, but in fact they didn't see the ability he displayed.After all, judging from the past sword casting competitions, No.1 will always maintain the No.1 position until the sword casting competition is completely over.Not even the first, even the top three, it is difficult to change, almost who is the top three in the first stage, after the entire sword casting competition is completely over, it is still these three people.

Time gradually passed, and noon was approaching. Many swordsmith masters had finished casting and polishing the first piece of tempered steel, but did not immediately start the second piece of tempered steel.In fact, in the second stage of the competition, only a very small part of them can complete all three pieces of tempered steel casting and grinding, and most people only complete two pieces. This is why even hot hands choose the second best tempered steel for the sake.

Now there is not much time left, only some master swordsmiths who finished the first piece of hardened steel early are working on the second piece, and those who have just finished it are slowly waiting for the end of the morning game time.During this time, the master swordsmiths all looked at Ye Shi.

Originally, everyone's eyes should be focused on Mei Gaoyong, but because of Ye Shi's appearance, he took Mei Gaoyong's place. Now, the swordsmiths pay more attention to Ye Shi than to Ye Shi. Megoyong.This is not only the talent shown by Ye Shi's age, but also because of his No.1 achievement.

"This leaf stone is really strange." This was the thought of all the master swordsmiths who watched the leaf stone being cast and polished at the same time.

Indeed, compared with those laymen, the masters of sword casting are more sure that although Ye Shi's casting and polishing skills are good, they are more than a little worse than Mei Gaoyong and the others. A better sword shape, if you really want to say it, it is the same level as them.

If Ye Shi was just an ordinary master swordsmith, they would think this was normal, but Ye Shi was the one who ranked first in the first stage, such a performance was indeed disappointing.Even some master swordsmiths sneered and looked forward to seeing Ye Shi's joke tomorrow.

"It seems that everyone is very disappointed with my performance." The corner of Ye Shi's mouth curled up. What he wanted was this effect. Moreover, even if he deliberately released water and used the usual sword casting technique to cast the sword shape, without using skills, And deliberately let the water go, his performance is really not good.But it would be a major mistake to underestimate him because of this.

After all, casting a sword shape is not just about the performance of hammering. The angle and strength are closely related. It seems that Ye Shi's performance is mediocre, but in fact, every time Ye Shi falls with the hammer, it is just right.Although Ye Shi didn't use the skill, the feeling of using the skill has been lingering on Ye Shi's heart, so under the hammering, Ye Shi will also unconsciously modify the angle and strength.

Even though he is still not as good as Mei Gaoyong and others by doing so, Ye Shi's original wish was to achieve a mediocre result in the second stage of the competition. As long as he remains in the top five, even if he is ranked Fifth, it has little effect on Yeshi.After all, this is only the second stage of the competition, and the real outcome will be the third stage tomorrow.

But no one knew about these things except Ye Shi, and even the four senior swordsmiths in the stands shook their heads.After the two pieces of tempered steel yesterday morning, Ye Shi's performance was indeed unsatisfactory. If it weren't for those two pieces of tempered steel, Ye Shi would have ranked fifth at most.Therefore, in the minds of the four senior swordsmiths, there was actually the reason why Ye Shi performed supernormally yesterday morning, and Ye Shi himself did not have such strength.

This can also explain why Ye Shi's subsequent performance was so unsatisfactory, and at the same time dispel the shock in their hearts. Even if such Ye Shi is still a rare sword-making genius, he will not be a monster. It is possible to catch up with Ye Shi, and even go further and faster.

"It's time, the morning competition is over, master, please put down what you're doing." The master swordsmith on the high platform shouted, announcing that the morning of the second stage was over.
