Broken Night

Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Nine - Three Golden Steps

The huge martial arts field made Xu Yan think of the Thorn Slaying Stage he had seen in Slashing Thorn City. It's just that he was a spectator that time, but this time he became the object of being watched. Around the martial arts field, there is an auditorium that can accommodate at least 10,000 people.

In addition, the martial arts field of the Jagged Battle Gate is many times larger than the Thorn Slaying Stage, and between the auditorium and the martial arts field, there are lines that are not very conspicuous, but with undisguised fluctuations. Obviously there is a pattern to isolate the fluctuation of the grain power. Otherwise, if the grain force affects the spectators, who would dare to watch it?

After Shi Feng officially announced the start, the people sat down neatly under the leadership of the Jagged War disciples. Those who entered the venue were mostly looking at those who were standing calmly on the stone platform and pointing. After all, these big men were rarely seen in the past!

At this moment, being able to see these big figures whose dragons can't see their tails seems to bring their ordinary lives closer to this mysterious world.

It took more than half an hour for this burden to be filled with people. Even outside, there were still people who wanted to squeeze in, but they were ruthlessly driven away by the Jagged Gate guards outside.

…………

During this period of time, those bigwigs were chatting about some innocuous things on the stage. After all, they have conflicts of interest with each other, so naturally they won't have much sincerity. Like Hua Xiaoxiao, who seemed to be smiling, and the old monster Zhaixing said without a word, in fact, the two sides did not know how many times they wanted to strangle each other to death.

Finally, Shi Feng stood up first.

He looked around for a week and said loudly, "The first battle of the academy exchange—forging!"

As his powerful voice swept through the audience, he suppressed those noisy voices: "Forging, of course, is the tattooed soldier of the fingerprinter."

"A tattoo soldier can be said to be the second life of a tattoo artist. A powerful tattoo soldier can make a qualitative leap in the strength of the tattoo artist. Therefore, it is difficult to find a good tattoo soldier, and a good blacksmith is even more difficult to find!"

"Forging a piece is more hard work than training. In addition to cultivation and talent, it also requires a lot of knowledge as the backing support. The matching of patterns and materials must be accurate without mistakes. It can be said that It's a science."

"And every knowledge needs an endless stream of fresh blood to support it. The old man is not an arrogant person. When it comes to forging, we in the south are really far from the north. The only forging master in the world is the only one. The Burning Heaven Mountain in the north is enough to prove it.”

"It's just that the strength of our South lies in the imparting of knowledge and scholarship! There is no divine teacher today, maybe a hundred years from now, there will be a divine teacher here!"

Shi Feng looked down and said in a low voice, "The forging representatives of the various academies are listed, and the other students return to the areas of their respective academies to watch the battle!"

Jin Qianji patted Xu Yan on the shoulder: "Come on."

Xu Yan shouted, "What fuel are you adding, it looks like I'm going to lose."

Jin Qianji shrugged: "Who knows."

Xu Yanqiang resisted the meaning of rushing forward and punching this guy: "Go back to the auditorium and cheer for Lao Tzu."

"Haha." Jin Qianji made a haha.

…………

Xu Yan's gaze swept the surrounding students who were still standing in the field, almost all of them were male. But think about it, forging such rough work, it is true that not many women are fascinated by it.

It's just that he realized that many people looked at him with hostility.

He did not think that because of the forging and cultivation of the youngest master realm, everyone present would regard him as the number one enemy.

Xu Yan watched it for a week and found that almost everyone looked at him with hostile eyes. He no longer made fun of himself, but just closed his eyes and waited for the start of the competition.

When all the students returned to the viewing table, Shi Feng said loudly: "This forging is also hosted by Master Feng from the Blacksmithing Academy. At the same time, Master Feng is also the person who asked the question for this assessment."

After finishing speaking, Feng Shang stood up, out of the world.

As a grandmaster, it is natural to have the demeanor of a grandmaster.

His every move seemed to contain the truth of heaven and earth, and everyone else was in a trance in silence.

Feng Shang's voice was cold, but Xu Yan frowned when he heard it... Why is this voice a little familiar? It's just that after thinking about it carefully, I didn't think of anything, so I closed my eyes and ignored it.

"The art of forging is unpredictable and ever-changing."

"It's just that it changes, but it doesn't deviate from its origins."

"The forging process is extremely complicated. However, there are several major processes that will not be missing."

"Material selection, melting, casting, engraving."

"Among them, smelting is a unique process that only fire forge masters have, and neither water casting nor grass smelting."

"So material selection, casting, and engraving are the three major processes in forging, which are also called the three golden steps."

"If people are not gods, they will naturally make mistakes. It's just that in forging, these three golden steps can't be wrong. Of these three steps, if you take any wrong step, the tattooed soldiers are almost useless."

Feng Shang glanced at the students below, especially when he stayed on Xu Yan's bald head for more than half a second, he immediately moved away: "In the first day of the selection competition, the test is the golden three-step ─ ─ casting shape ”

Feng Shang patted the jade pendant on his waist, holding a picture scroll in his hand and falling on his hand: "Please take a look at the participating students."

I saw Feng Shang spread out the picture scroll, and a lifelike tattooed beast was in the picture. As soon as the picture scroll was opened, a vicious color swept the audience, and even Xu Yan immediately opened his eyes, staring at the picture scroll with uncertainty in his eyes.

"This patterned beast is named [Shan Gui]."

"Shan Gui is a fierce and fierce beast in ancient times. Its mouth can swallow the sky and the earth, and its roar can spread thousands of miles. Even in ancient times, there were many strong people. There is no news of Sankei, and he has become one of the legendary monsters."

"And this Shangui painting scroll was obtained by a powerful cultivator after passing through the ruins of the ancient tomb. As you can see, the artist's tattoo skills are amazing. With the strength of the lines that are condensed and not scattered, you can still feel a little breath of white noodles today.”

"Such a picture scroll is called a masterpiece!"

Xu Yan looked at the picture scroll in front of him, the pores all over his body stood erect.

The tattooed beast in the picture scroll in front of him is definitely not handsome, and even a little ugly. It was a tattooed beast that looked like a frog standing on all fours, but its whole body was full of horns, and its long tongue spit out a long rainbow that was comparable to the endless sky.

Of course, these are just the feelings brought by the picture scroll.

Xu Yan was also amazed. Even a picture scroll made him feel a sense of crisis. How profound is the artist's strength and painting skills?

Feng Shang paused for a moment, then said slowly, "Every contestant, please create an object with the most charm of this beast [Shan Gui], even if it's just a decoration."

"Because this time, the test is for casting."
