Chapter 261 Have you passed the test?
The loud bell echoed in everyone's hearts, and everyone in the venue had completed their works.
Of course, because it is the lowest level of iron ingot, for those who have mastered arms and spiritual fire, it will hardly take too much effort to melt these things. Therefore, at this time, everyone was basically full of energy and even smiled happily on their faces.
After having arms or spiritual fire and practicing for about a year, you can basically forge an ordinary piece of equipment. The only difference is proficiency, time and grade.
At this moment, everyone showed their strong confidence at this moment.
They were all able to forge equipment of ordinary grades or above, so when the bell rang, they almost all became official forgeators.
On the contrary, Ouyang Ming's face was dull, and the expression on his face was completely different from the excitement that everyone showed.
This is not that Ouyang Ming is not in a good way, but that he really can't feel excited and happy.
Although the saber on the casting stage in front of me is not a universal product, it is still far from the same as the magic weapon.
It would be incredible if a forging master who can forge magic weapons would cheer for an ordinary piece of equipment.
Jin Shengjie coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, you have completed the assessment, let's test now." He smiled more and more harmoniously, and said, "Assessment is also a kind of exercise. Whether it is successful or failed, after today, you must give up your mind and continue to practice forging."
"Yes, thank you for your advice from Master Jin." Everyone held their fists and shouted loudly, as if they had practiced thousands of times in advance.
Of course, they could not get together for a drill in advance, but every time the assessment is completed, the judge will say a few words of encouragement, and everyone responds in this way, so it becomes a habit.
Ouyang Ming was slightly stunned, obviously slowing down and clasping his fists, as if he was a little out of place in the crowd.
Jin Shengjie walked into the center of the venue with a smile. He came to the first examiner, picked up a small round shield in his hand, glanced at it a few times, and smiled and said, "Universal grade third level, pass."
The examiner was not old, just a little older than Ouyang Ming. He hurriedly bowed his fists and said loudly: "Thank you, Master Jin!"
Jin Shengjie chuckled and said, "Stay working hard and become a beginner as soon as possible."
The man was so excited that he couldn't even speak. He nodded heavily, feeling a little crying with joy.
Ouyang Ming touched his nose and was secretly surprised. Isn’t he just a formal arms forge? Why did he act so exaggeratedly?
However, he did not know that the various conditions that can be enjoyed in big cities are much better than those in remote areas. But equally, the great pressure of competition here is also proportional to welfare.
In addition to relying on the support of family and elders, it is extremely difficult to make a name for itself.
This man has no strong background behind him. He can stand out from countless apprentices. In addition to his own efforts, he has great luck. Therefore, after being praised by Jin Shengjie, he became so excited.
Seeing a lot of similar situations, Jin Shengjie smiled and comforted her for a few words, and then walked to the next examiner.
In addition to having outstanding achievements in forging, this forging master is also extraordinary. Otherwise, although he can judge a common grade based on experience alone, he may not dare to directly reveal several levels.
Perhaps to save time, Jin Shengjie accelerated the identification and conversation.
After all, after the formal forging, there are three levels to continue to be assessed.
It took him just half an hour to identify more than thirty pieces of equipment, and he talked to everyone, making people feel as if they were in spring breeze.
Finally, he walked to Ouyang Ming.
Because Ouyang Ming asked at the beginning, no one else approached him. The lonely one was particularly conspicuous, which was also the reason why Jin Shengjie finally came to him.
After looking at Ouyang Ming deeply, Jin Shengjie said slowly: "Little guy, are you from Changlong County?"
Ouyang Ming nodded slightly and said, "That's right."
Jin Shengjie suddenly smiled and said, "Can you recognize Master Lu?"
Ouyang Ming said in surprise: "I know you younger generations."
A complex look flashed in Jin Shengjie's eyes, and she slowly said: "Okay, I hope you can bring me a surprise today."
Yi Yucheng and Feng Guangyuan behind him both changed their faces slightly, and they seemed to have remembered something. They stared at the saber on the casting stage, with a solemn look on their faces. The others were even secretly asking why Jin Shengjie's attitude suddenly changed so much?
You should know that the more than thirty people on the field were all forges who had received arms for about a year. Although there were some differences and differences due to the relationship between talent and effort. However, this gap was limited to one level, and it was impossible to surprise super forges like Jin Shengjie.
For a moment, a strong curiosity surged in everyone's eyes.
What background and abilities does this little guy have?
Jin Shengjie raised her wrist and had already held the sword in her hand. His eyes flashed and he stared at her.
And the next moment, his eyes suddenly lit up. Although he was mentally prepared and tried his best to suppress his shock, he still couldn't control it completely.
Feng Guangyuan and Yi Yucheng looked at each other in surprise. Why did Mr. Jin act so disobediently? Could it be that the rumor is actually true?
"Master Jin." Yi Yucheng whispered: "What level is this?"
Jin Shengjie took a deep breath. He looked at Ouyang Ming with great meaning. After a while, he handed the sword in his hand to Yi Yucheng and said, "Look at it for yourself..."
Although Yi Yucheng is not an appraiser, he is at least a senior forgingman. He can naturally see a clear picture of ordinary equipment such as saber.
He held the saber and looked carefully for a while. Suddenly, he couldn't help but scream: "Impossible!"
Suddenly he looked up and his eyes were staring at Ouyang Ming, as if he had seen an ancient giant beast in front of him. The look was extremely difficult to describe, and it was all-encompassing, making people difficult to distinguish.
Feng Guangyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself that the legend should be true. This saber may have broken through the common quality and met the standard of good quality. However, even so, you should not act like this... Don't you know that it is a very hurtful thing to scream in the public?
Although a forge is a highly respected profession, it also has a very cruel competitiveness in this profession.
Even forgeators of the same level have a huge gap in the rewards they receive when forging special equipment.
The higher the level, the more obvious the gap.
Yi Yucheng is a very steady person on weekdays, but the screams that were lost in the audience today were enough to draw his position in the next section.
"Haha, you can take a look!" Jin Shengjie chuckled and said.
Feng Guangyuan responded and took the saber from Yi Yucheng's hand. He thought to himself that this is a good equipment and he must not show any surprise. Haha, today's comparison, I will compare Yi Yucheng...
Good products, good products... Huh? No, such hardness, such luster, such toughness...
Feng Guangyuan suddenly raised his head and sternly said, "This is impossible!"
When he shouted out this sentence, he suddenly realized. However, at this time he could no longer care about so much, because he finally understood why even Jin Shengjie and Yi Yucheng were so out of control.
The saber in his hand is not a good product at all.
This turned out to be a top-grade saber.
That's right, the top-grade saber.
General, good, superior, and refined.
The top-grade saber among the fourth grade.
Those who can forge high-quality sabers are all intermediate forgings. However, what materials do intermediate forgings use to forge high-quality equipment?
Only by using fine steel can high-quality equipment be forged, and it may not be able to guarantee a 100% success rate.
And using ordinary iron ingots?
Feng Guangyuan knew that even if he gave him millions of chances, he might be able to forge a good first-level equipment by chance. However, the probability was so small that he almost didn't have to count on it.
As for the top quality in your hands...
Before today, if someone told him that someone could use ordinary iron ingots to create top-quality equipment, he would definitely spit on the other party’s face.
Gradually, Feng Guangyuan's hands began to tremble slightly. He had seen top-quality equipment countless times. He himself was a high-level forging master, and could directly forge high-quality equipment.
But at this moment, he felt that the top-grade saber in his hand seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, and had power that he could not bear at all.
At this moment, there was a strange silence in the square.
Even the newly-released formal forging masters who were excited and wanted to shout loudly, they all put away their smiles and looked at Jin Shengjie and others with puzzled eyes.
Even the ignorant and dullest people can see from their expressions that things are out of control.
But what puzzled them was why this saber that didn't look so weird was so shocking to them?
Ouyang Ming's face always had a faint smile. He coughed softly and said, "Senior, have you passed the test?"
The muscles on Jin Shengjie and the other two twitched at the same time.
You can use ordinary iron ingots to forge the top-quality equipment, but you are still asking if we have passed the test?
At this time, the three of them felt their faces burning.
Especially Feng Guangyuan and Yi Yucheng, their faces were even red and they wanted to go back to time.
Chapter completed!
