…
"How...how did you do that?" Brother Hao looked at Xu Kun blankly.
Xu Kun smiled: "Brother Hao, haven't you seen it all? First this and this, then that and that, and then you did it!"
Brother Hao:......
"Huh... It seems that we still underestimated you!" Brother Hao let out a sigh of relief.
"Then do I pass the test?" Xu Kun asked with a smile.
"Of course!" Brother Hao nodded, thinking in his heart: "If this is not enough, then no one will be qualified to enter this Sword Pond Holy Land!"
"Keep moving forward, someone will be waiting for you!"
After saying that, Brother Hao waved his cattail leaf fan, and the shed, stalls, and casting platform disappeared together!
How miraculous!
Xu Kun glanced deep into the mountain and continued walking forward without hesitation!
It is not difficult for him to find the only D-level dagger among all the E-level equipment!
It is easy to repair a D-class dagger that is not too damaged!
After all, although his own casting skills are only E-level, after the casting star bonus, he has C-level casting skills!
The repair work of this kind of dimensionality reduction attack is not difficult at all!
Therefore, Xu Kun increased the difficulty several times for himself on top of the original difficulty!
Just repairing it is not enough, we have to upgrade it!
At this point, Xu Kun would be really stupid if he still didn't understand that all the previous obstacles were all tests put to him by the number one master craftsman Ou Yezi!
"I estimate that when I first entered the Sword Pool Holy Land, Senior Ou Yezi knew my movements and my identity!"
When Xu Kun came, he was riding on the Hot Wheels. This kind of flying artifact that only two people in the human race have, can identify the identity with a little judgment!
Of course, Xu Kun couldn't expect that he would be recognized by everyone, so Lei Huan's behavior did not arouse Xu Kun's suspicion at first. He just thought that the other party did not notice that he was stepping on the Hot Wheels, and the other party was a member of the Sword Pond Holy Land. As a member of the Communist Party of China, it is normal to look down on outsiders with your eyes above your head!
But if someone else had noticed him a long time ago and knew his identity, the result would be completely different!
Lei Huan's style is also a test!
If I had a young mind and relied on my strength and my previous encounters with Master Craftsman Yajiu and Master Ouyezi, I would have dared to fight and break into the mountain gate directly. This would not be possible for a highly respected casting senior. Tolerated!
Lei Huan is deliberately irritating himself to see if he can endure things that ordinary people cannot endure!
When a young man succeeds, he is most afraid of being arrogant!
Fortunately, Xu Kun himself is not a reckless person, especially when he asks for help from others, he will maintain a humble attitude!
However, some aspects should be restrained, and some aspects should be flamboyant!
You have to know where you are now!
It is a rare forging holy land among human beings, and it is the dojo of a famous divine craftsman!
Here, force is not easy to use, status is not easy to use, only casting skills are the key to gaining respect!
Testing your xinxing is the stepping stone, and the rest is all about your work!
The first level seems simple, but even if Xu Kun doesn't have much experience in this area, unlike Lei Huan, he doesn't know the requirements for the first level of the Sword Pool Holy Land assessment.
But when he first learned the art of casting, he forged refined iron with a purity of more than 90%, which made Wang Mengmeng and other blacksmiths exclaim, and he understood!
Since the difficulty is set based on the level, 90% pure iron is definitely difficult for ordinary people to complete!
The lower limit is there. The higher the difficulty of an exam, the higher the quality of talents required to prove it!
From that moment on, Xu Kun already understood!
Since you want to express yourself, then behave well!
The minimum requirement is 90% purity, right?
Then I will go straight to 100% purity!
In the same way, the second level tests your eyesight first, and your skills second. You can’t show off in this level of eyesight... ah no, you can’t show your ability, so just make a fuss in the level of repair!
So that the number one master craftsman can see that I, Xu Kun, am the one you are waiting for!
With Xu Kun's actual C-level casting ability, after repairing the dagger, he also upgraded the quality of the dagger by two levels. Finally, God's Blessing and the Son of Luck took effect, allowing the mere D-level inferior dagger to jump three levels in a row. !
Demo, let’s see if I don’t charm you to death, hum!
As Xu Kun guessed, his astonishing move naturally made the first master craftsman unable to sit still, and the next assessment content was specially changed for him!
But Xu Kun didn't know about their series of arrangements. While looking at the scenery, he walked towards the depths of the mountain!
After walking for a while, there was still no assessor like Brother Hao, which made Xu Kun quite puzzled!
The speed of his feet increased a little, and he shuttled all the way along the mountain road. After going around in circles, Xu Kun had already seen the mountain gate built deep in the mountain!
There is the core area of Sword Pond Holy Land!
Just when Xu Kun thought that he had convinced the first master craftsman with his practical actions and made him give up the rest of the assessment, when the mountain door opened wide, a faint voice interrupted his movements.
"stop!"
Xu Kun paused and looked towards where the sound came from. A young man wearing an animal skin vest and with messy hair was looking at him with a deep expression!
"Your Majesty, are you the assessor of this third level of assessment?"
The young man said nothing, strode forward, and stood not far from Xu Kun. From his body, Xu Kun felt a deep hostility!
That was different from the condescending attitude Lei Huan showed before. It was more like a same-sex repulsion mentality after seeing his own kind!
While he was looking at Xu Kun, Xu Kun was also looking at him. Just like Lei Huan and Brother Hao before him, this young man also had calluses on his hands and spots on his animal skin vest. This was a sign of being immersed in casting skills for many years. , this is the case for Wang Mengmeng from the Blacksmith Shop!
After the young man looked at Xu Kun, he said in a cold voice: "My name is Chi. I am the main general of Jianchi and the son of Mo Xie!"
Xu Kun was startled and quickly raised his hands and said: "Brother Chi!"
"I'm not your brother!" Unexpectedly, Chi said unceremoniously: "You don't need to get close to me!"
Xu Kun frowned, a little confused.
Just listen to Chi continue: "I'm here only for one thing!"
"Your Majesty, please speak!" Xu Kun said calmly.
Since the other person is not polite, there is no need for you to put your hot face on someone else's cold ass.
"Let me tell you with my actual actions, if you want to be my grandpa's disciple, you are not qualified!"
Hearing this, Xu Kun smiled instead of getting angry: "Your words are too arbitrary!"
"Wu Bujue, when you see my methods, you will know. Come with me!"
After saying that, Chi turned around and left. Xu Kun looked at his back and finally followed him silently!
Chi did not lead Xu Kun into the mountain gate of Jianchi Holy Land, but entered a forest next to it. After crossing the entire forest, it suddenly became clear that what he saw was a wide and flat square, and the only furnishings here were. In addition to a few small rooms in the bamboo forest, there are casting stations with red fires!
Beside, the mountain spring falls, and the casting platforms are arranged neatly in order!
The owner here must be a person who loves casting!
Xu Kun judged in his heart.
"This is my personal foundry. If you want to enter my mountain gate and become my grandpa's disciple, you have only one way to go!"
Chi, who was leading the way, stopped and said without hiding his arrogance: "That means defeating me in the art of casting. As long as you defeat me, the Holy Land of Sword Pond will be yours to ride!"
Than casting?
It seems that this is the final test that Ou Yezi, the master craftsman, puts himself to!
Compared to Chi's hostility, Xu Kun smiled like the breeze in the forest, nodded and said: "I am willing to learn the art of casting from you!"
"Haha!" Chi smiled sarcastically: "You don't know how to live or die, I hope you won't cry after losing the competition!"
"Could it be that your master's casting skills come from your mouth?" Xu Kun said unceremoniously in the face of the ridicule.
It doesn’t matter whose son you are, I’m not your father, so there’s no need to pamper you!
"You!" Sure enough, Chi, who had been pampered since childhood and was admired by many stars, immediately became angry when he heard Xu Kun's words!
But he quickly suppressed his anger, and the coldness in his eyes became even worse.
"Very good, I hope you will remember what you said later!"
After saying that, Chi pulled off the animal skin vest on his upper body, revealing his bronze skin. He formally cupped his fists towards Xu Kun and said: "Chi, he is twenty-eight years old, level 28, level 8, level B. Caster, please enlighten me!"
Xu Kun's pupils shrank slightly!
A twenty-eight-year-old B-level foundry master!
Chi is worthy of being a master craftsman and the son of master casting master Mo Xie. He is indeed proud of being able to reach such a level of casting at this age!
Xu Kun also clasped his fists and replied according to the etiquette of the foundry industry: "Xu Kun, now eighteen years old, level 10, level 1, C-level foundry master, please enlighten me!"
This time, it was Chi's turn to be stunned!
Eighteen? C-level foundry master?
Although Chi is unruly and acts arrogantly, to put it simply, he is the second-generation Zhu with no emotional intelligence and a profound background!
But apart from his character flaws, his love for casting can indeed be called crazy!
His enthusiasm for casting is comparable to the nerds recorded in ancient books who are ignorant of what is going on outside the window and only read books by sages!
Except for leveling up in the Haotian Tower, the rest of his free time is reserved for his own foundry. Compared with external things, he is more concerned about whether his casting skills can be improved today!
He has a sincere and holy heart when he is casting a line!
Because of this, Chi's understanding of Xu Kun is still superficial!
He knew Xu Kun's identity, and also knew that his grandfather intended to accept him as a closed disciple. Xu Kun's various notification sounds had been continuously broadcast to all races, even Chi, who was concentrating on casting, heard them!
But he had no interest in all this. In his impression, Xu Kun was simply a junior who excelled in combat and contributed to the human race, nothing more!
But this does not mean that Xu Kun can gain his respect in casting. Therefore, Chi does not think that Xu Kun's status in other aspects will allow his grandfather to accept him as a closed disciple!
But now, after hearing that Xu Kun reported his casting skills according to the rules, he really looked at Xu Kun!
At the age of eighteen, I was just a complacent young man who had independently built F-class equipment for the first time!
But the young man in front of him, who was ten years younger than himself, had already mastered the C-level casting technique!
Chidai froze on the spot, and in the surrounding dense forest, after hearing Xu Kun's words, there were also rustling sounds.
Xu Kun looked around and saw a crowd of people in the dense forest. They looked here curiously. Among them were Lei Huan and Brother Hao!
A competition between talented casters, how could they, who love casting, be willing to miss it!
There was a touch of embarrassing redness on the bronze face, and the aura was inevitably a little weaker!
Especially the whispers of Xu Kun by the senior brothers around him made him feel a sense of crisis!
"Huh!" Chi Leng snorted, and then a dark yellow flame appeared on the palm of his hand.
"This is the flame I control, SS-level low-grade, Xuanhuang Flame!"
