Chapter 300: The majestic Zhenhua?
Zhenhua nodded, his expression unchanged, and said generously: "Of course, we lost the first game."
After hearing Zhenhua's words, the crowd around him fell into deathly silence for an instant, and then a noisy discussion broke out.
The faces of the forgers who came to cheer for the team were uglier than the others. Some stared with their eyes wide open, as if they couldn't believe the facts before their eyes; others hung their heads in frustration, with deep disappointment written on their faces.
The young man who was competing with Lin Yuhan also had a livid face, his lips trembling slightly, and he held tightly in his hand the forging hammer that had been with him for many years.
Hearing this, Chang Gongyan looked at Zhenhua in surprise. He had thought that Zhenhua might not look at him well because he lost to them. But he did not expect Zhenhua to admit defeat so readily.
"As expected, he is a master of his generation, the divine craftsman Zhenhua."
Thinking of this, Chang Gongyan couldn't help but feel a little respect for Zhenhua. The fact that he could admit defeat so readily showed that Master Craftsman Zhenhua was also a man of temperament. At least in terms of forging, Zhenhua's mentality was definitely worthy of the title of Master Craftsman.
Facing such a straightforward Zhenhua, Chang Gongyan couldn't pretend to be a winner. He smiled and said, "In this competition, Yu Han only relied on his advantage in the forging hammer to overwhelm your genius. The next game may not be the same."
Indeed, the forging hammer used by Lin Yuhan was a spiritual forging blue copper hammer, so there was indeed an element of taking advantage in forging blue copper.
They agreed with Zhenhua to hold two forging competitions. In the first round, Chang Gongyan would choose the metal and the two teams would purify it.
In the second round, Zhenhua will choose a metal and ask the two teams to purify it. The metal thus purified can best compare the level of the two teams.
In the first game, Lin Yuhan chose Lan Yuntong, and then it was Zhenhua's turn to make a choice.
"No." Unexpectedly, Zhenhua shook his head. "In terms of the quality of the metal, our side is obviously not as good as your disciple's. And in terms of forging time, it took us longer, so this victory is definitely not a fluke. It's because your disciple's forging skills are indeed superb."
Zhenhua could tell at a glance that Lin Yuhan's strength was among the most skilled even among the fifth-level forgers. The blue copper she forged last, in addition to being of the spirit-forging level, also had special properties given to the metal through the characteristics of the martial spirit.
This is not an ordinary spiritual forging. In addition to its original properties, this piece of blue copper has also been given lightning properties. Its value is at least three times that of the same spiritual forging blue copper.
Hearing Zhenhua's words, Lin Yuhan's mouth corners could not help but slightly rise. Even though they were indeed here to challenge the master, but being praised by the master craftsman Zhenhua still made this calm girl feel happy.
After all, this is the recognition from the master craftsman Zhenhua!
Chang Gongyan couldn't help but smile, and then said with a smile: "Then in the next round, it will be Brother Zhenhua's turn to choose the metal."
Zhenhua waved his hand, "No hurry, your disciple has just finished spiritual forging metal, it is better to let her rest first, after all, the next one to compete with her is my disciple."
Chang Gongyan was stunned for a moment, "Brother Zhenhua's apprentice?"
The disciple of Master Craftsman Zhenhua, before coming to challenge the Blacksmith Association, he didn't get the news that Master Craftsman Zhenhua had a disciple? Didn't the other party have no successor?
Zhenhua smiled and then walked up to the young man who had just lost to Lin Yuhan.
"President." The young man lowered his head in shame and did not dare to look at Zhenhua.
"It's okay." Zhenhua patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "This is not your fault. I hope that after this competition, you can use this as an inspiration to work harder and go further in the path of forging."
The young man in front of him was the most outstanding young man under the age of 20 in the Blacksmith Association. Although his talent was not as good as Lu Fa's, Zhenhua had always cultivated him as the seed of the next Saint Craftsman, so he naturally did not want his heart to be hurt.
Hearing Zhenhua's words, the young man was immediately moved and nodded quickly, saying, "Yes, I understand, President."
"Okay." Zhenhua said with a smile: "Then you can go down and watch first. The rest of the game will be taken over by others."
"Yeah." The young man nodded and left the forging table. After the competition just now, he also knew that even though they were both level 5 forgers, there was still a big gap between him and Lin Yuhan. If they continued to compete, he would not be able to beat the other party.
After Zhenhua watched the young man leave the forging table, he immediately waved in the direction of Lufa, motioning him to come over. When Lufa and Dang Hongchen just arrived at the competition venue, his mental power had already sensed them.
In an instant, everyone around looked at Lu Fa. To be called a disciple by the president, could it be that the other party was...
Many people guessed Lufa's identity at once, and the people around him began to step back spontaneously, leaving a large space around Lufa.
Lu Fa walked to Zhen Hua's side and said helplessly: "Teacher, you don't have to do this. Now, I can't use this disguise next time."
"Then stop pretending." Zhenhua laughed, "You're not young anymore, so it's not bad to find a girlfriend. Young people shouldn't always be so mature. Don't be timid when it's time to show off."
After that, he whispered to Lufa, “By the way, give that old man over there a good slap in the face. How dare he come to the Blacksmith Association to cause trouble for me? Do you really think I’m made of clay?
Let that old man see that our Blacksmith Association is not a place he can mess with casually. I will make him lose both his wife and his army."
Suddenly, Zhenhua's voice became a little vulgar again, "Do you see that little girl over there? She's pretty, isn't she? Teacher, I'm very good at judging people. She's definitely the type who's obsessed with forging and has a strong competitive spirit.
As long as you can defeat her in forging, you will definitely leave a deep impression in her heart. With your appearance, this little girl will definitely become your little fangirl and you can control her at will."
Hearing Zhenhua's voice transmission, Lu Fa's mouth twitched slightly. "Teacher, your personality is about to collapse! If I remember correctly, you should be a single dog. Why do you sound so experienced?"
"I'll try my best." Lu Fa said perfunctorily in response to Zhen Hua's words.
Fifteen minutes passed in a flash. Soon, Lin Yuhan's breath had been adjusted. At this moment, he was standing on the forging table, looking at Lu Fa curiously.
What is that? The weirdo in helmet that I met on the road? He turned out to be the disciple of Master Craftsman Zhenhua!
Chang Gongyan asked Zhenhua, "So, what metal will President Zhenhua choose?"
Lufa took off his helmet, revealing his striking short platinum hair, and smiled, "I choose Blue Pregnant Copper."
"It's indeed Master Lufa!" "I didn't expect the master to be by my side just now." When Lufa took off his helmet, there were faint whispers coming from the surroundings.
"What?" Chang Gongyan looked at Lu Fa in astonishment. Even Lin Yuhan looked at him in surprise. Didn't the other party see the spiritual forging blue copper hammer she used when forging just now?
"Are you sure?" Chang Gongyan frowned and looked at Lu Fa. Lin Yuhan had just forged the blue copper, and after a rest, her energy and spirit had fully recovered. In addition, after the forging process just now, Lin Yuhan's spirit was now completely in the forging state.
If he forged it again, he wouldn't even need to be familiar with the metal process. If he used this metal to purify it again, Lu Fa would naturally be at a disadvantage.
"I am sure."
Chang Gongyan looked at Zhenhua, but found that his expression did not change at all. Is he so confident in his disciple?
Moreover, when Lufa took off his helmet just now, why did the people around him call him Master? And they seemed to be very convinced of him.
"Is he a level six blacksmith?"
Chang Gongyan shook his head. Even if the opponent was a sixth-level forger, it didn't matter. He just had the skill of melting forging. This time, the competition was only about the purification of a single metal, not the processing of metal.
Lin Yuhan possesses a blue copper hammer, which gives her a natural advantage in forging blue copper. Even if the other party is a sixth-level blacksmith, he may not be able to surpass her in spiritual forging.
Soon, two pieces of blue copper of the same quality were brought up.
The blue copper burned. Lin Yuhan looked at the boy opposite silently, curious about why he chose the blue copper. Lu Fa felt her gaze, looked at her and nodded slightly.
Lin Yuhan stared at Lufa's face for a moment, then her face turned slightly red. She immediately lowered her head and took a deep breath. She was about to start forging, and she couldn't let her emotions fluctuate. For a blacksmith, the most important thing is to focus.
After the calcination was completed, two pieces of blue copper slowly rose.
Lufa's storage soul guide lit up, and then the soul-forged heavy silver hammer forged from "Fusheng brand metal" appeared.
"what is that?!"
Chang Gongyan's breathing quickened a little, his eyes fixed on Lufa's forging hammer. As a holy craftsman, he would never mistake the grade of the metal, and that kind of cheering and jumping for joy could never be possessed by a spirit-forged silver hammer!
"Soul Forging!"
Two words came to Chang Gongyan's mind. How could this be possible? How could it be soul forging! The fluctuations on the forging hammer that completely matched the road method could not be faked. That feeling of excitement was even stronger than his forging hammer!
Lin Yuhan lowered her head and took a deep breath, holding the forging hammer tightly with both hands. It was just a matter of forging the blue copper again. It was not difficult for her because she was too familiar with the blue copper.
"Boom——" Lin Yuhan raised his left hand and was about to forge, but a roar came from the other side.
Lin Yuhan subconsciously raised his head and looked towards Lufa, wondering in surprise, was he so confident? He didn't even need to test the properties of the blue copper first? He just started forging it?
However, just this one glance made her stop what she was doing.
“Boom——” Lufa hit the metal violently with his hammer. The impurities in the blue copper were directly removed, and the hundred forgings were completed!
"Boom——" Then Lu Fa hammered down three more times, and a beam of white light shot up into the sky, reaching a height of six feet. The white light was bright, and there was a faint roar. Three hammers, a thousand forgings, and they were holy products that were six feet high.
Generally speaking, the highest spiritual light of the first level of the thousand-forged level is five feet high. And the spiritual light that reaches six feet high is high enough to be called a holy product.
Although it is inferior to the Ultimate Thousand Forgings, even some Saint Craftsmen dare not guarantee that they can forge the Saint Thousand Forgings.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Lu Fa did not stop, the energy and blood surged all over his body, and the forging hammer in his hand kept falling. When the eighteenth hammer fell.
"Roar——" The roar of the giant beast sounded again, and the blue copper emitted a blue light, which penetrated into Lu Fa's body and fed back his consumption.
Spirit forging creation, success!
Only three minutes passed from the beginning of Lu Fa to the end of spiritual forging!
Lin Yuhan stared at Lufa blankly, the forging hammer in her hand drooping limply. There was no need to compete anymore, she knew she had lost, and completely.
Lufa took too little time. He forged the blue copper in three minutes. It took her thirty minutes to forge the blue copper in the first round! It took him ten times less time!
And no matter whether it is the Holy Item Thousand Forgings or the Spirit Forging Creation.
Lin Yuhan believed that if he was lucky, he might be able to succeed in the former, but with his current forging level, he would never be able to do the latter.
"His forging level has improved again."
Zhenhua also looked at Lufa with a face full of surprise. He forged the blue copper in just three minutes, and it was a spiritual forging creation! He was sure that with this skill alone, there were few saint craftsmen in the world who could match Lufa in spiritual forging.
"But no matter what, he is still my disciple." Zhenhua couldn't help but smile. The better Lu Fa was, the happier he was. After all, he was his disciple!
What, what do you say about Old Man Kong and Ao Hongchen? Sorry, I don't know them.
"Holy Craftsman!"
Chang Gongyan uttered these two words bitterly. Even if Lu Fa did not continue soul forging, just based on the opponent's soul forging hammer and the terrifying speed of purifying metal, he did not look like a sixth-level blacksmith.
Chang Gongyan believed that he could still do such a fast spiritual forging if he tried his best, but he was not sure whether he could do the Saint Thousand Forging and Spiritual Forging Creation.
At this point in the competition, the winner has been decided. Even a first-level blacksmith, as long as he knows some basic knowledge, can judge the winner, not to mention that Lin Yuhan's second round of forging was not completed at all.
"We lost." Chang Gong Yan smiled bitterly.
Zhenhua smiled slightly, "In fact, our victory was very narrow. If my disciple hadn't happened to be here, I really couldn't find another young talent who could compare with your disciple."
Chang Gongyan nodded stiffly.
At this moment, Lufa walked towards Zhenhua calmly. He knew that the fish had taken the bait.
