The guard captain also didn't expect Ye Chen to be so determined to test.
Seeing Ye Chen's serious look, the guard captain hesitated a little. Could this boy in front of him really be a blacksmith?
As a guard captain, I have worked with countless people of all kinds, so I naturally understand that people cannot be judged by their appearance.
It's just that Ye Chen's appearance of thin skin and tender flesh, coupled with his age that is obviously less than twenty years old, does not reveal the slightest trace of a blacksmith master.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance to gather a few more people to go in together later and accept the test from the elder of my Divine Weapon Pavilion!"
After thinking for a moment, the guard captain stopped persuading and asked Ye Chen to stand with the other blacksmiths who applied for golden tokens. When they had enough people, they brought them into the hall for testing.
What just happened was seen by everyone around him. When Ye Chen walked to the group of blacksmiths waiting for the test, no one wanted to stand with him. They all walked aside with disgust on their faces.
go.
It seems that if you stand together with Ye Chen, you will lose your worth.
Ye Chen didn't care. He stood in the middle and began to close his eyes and rest, waiting for the test to come.
Finally, about fifty people were gathered together. The guard captain handed over the review work to other brothers, and then walked in front of Ye Chen and others.
"Dear blacksmiths, I have kept you waiting for a long time. Please come with me."
He took a deep look at Ye Chen, didn't say anything more, and walked straight towards a side door of the Divine Weapon City.
The dark-skinned young man walked up to Ye Chen and said with a sarcastic smile: "I admire your wonderful performance for a while, but don't let me down!"
As he said that, he winked and smiled at Ye Chen, and then passed by Ye Chen.
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and followed the large army towards the interior of the Divine Weapon City.
When passing the city wall, Ye Chen could really feel the breadth of the city wall of Shenbing City. Dozens of people walked for half a cup of tea before they walked out of the city gate and came to a spacious and bright hall.
.
Ye Chen looked around. In the hall, there were nearly a hundred anvils arranged in an orderly manner, as well as matching hammers, buckets for quenching, and a huge furnace for quenching metal.
In this room, the overall temperature is even dozens of degrees higher than outside. Ordinary people standing in this room may not be able to stay even for a few minutes.
However, Ye Chen was not affected at all and still stood there calmly and calmly.
"You brat, you have a few tricks up your sleeve."
When the dark-skinned young man saw this, he snorted and muttered, "But when the test starts later, you will reveal your secret!"
At this moment, the guard captain who had brought everyone here walked up to the high platform and stood in front of an elder with white eyebrows who was sitting cross-legged on a futon with his eyes closed to meditate.
Ye Chen saw that although the white-browed elder was very old and was wearing loose robes, he could still tell that he was tall and strong, and he was obviously a master who often forged.
Hearing this, the white-browed old man slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp light bloomed in his eyes, sweeping across everyone present.
When his eyes glanced at Ye Chen, he couldn't help but pause and frown slightly.
"Mao En, didn't I ask you to strictly examine me? Why did you even bring a little guy like this?"
After hearing the elder's question, the guard captain named Mao En quickly said: "I have informed Elder Song, I have confirmed it repeatedly and informed everyone of the consequences of a failed test, but they still insist on conducting the test, and I have no choice.
.”
"What nonsense!"
Elder Song snorted coldly and looked at Ye Chen coldly again.
As a test elder, he has seen too many people who pretend to be fake and try to get through with luck.
It was not until later that the penalties for test failure were increased that the situation improved a lot.
But I didn't expect to meet such a stubborn little guy today.
He has been forging all his life, and with these two moves, you can almost tell the depth of this person's forging skills at a glance.
The young man next to him, with dark skin and a strong body, seemed to be a rising star with a high talent for blacksmithing. He was also Elder Song's favorite junior.
"I, Song Tie, are the elders in charge of your test. Before the test, I have to remind you all not to try to cheat and pass. In my hands, no one has ever been able to pass by chance.
If during the test later, I discover that you are a fake, the horror will be like this!"
As he spoke, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body. He slowly swung his palm out and actually cut an anvil not far away in half. The cut was as smooth as a mirror!
Everyone knew that the elder's move should be a final warning to the fair young man.
Thinking of this, they all looked at Ye Chen with schadenfreude.
The swarthy young man even sneered and said: "Hey, boy, if you don't want to die, get out of here, don't tarnish the name of our blacksmith here!"
Seeing that the test elders all thought there was something wrong with Ye Chen, he was naturally more convinced that Ye Chen was just trying to get through. In fact, he probably didn't even know what blacksmithing was.
The elders of the Shenbing Pavilion are all Taishan Beidou in the forging world. Their eyes are so vicious that it is impossible to misread them.
However, in the face of numerous suspicions, Ye Chen did not move at all and expressed through actions that he wanted to take part in the test!
He knew that it was useless to say anything now. Only by using real materials could these people shut up.
"God-level blacksmithing skills, I rely on you, don't let me down!"
Ye Chen murmured to himself that this was also his first time using the god-level blacksmithing technique. If he said he wasn't nervous, he would be lying.
But he believed that no matter what, this god-level forging technique would not let him down.
"Okay, in that case, the test begins now. You go find an anvil on your own and stand next to the forging table!"
Elder Song shook his head helplessly. He had already warned him that any problems that might arise later would have nothing to do with him. He, the elder of Shenbing Pavilion, was not a kind-hearted person!
When everyone walked to the forging platform, Elder Song said again: "The first level of this test is to examine the 'eyesight'. Each of you will use your own eyesight to choose one of the ores around the hall. As long as it can open
If you find the ironclad material, you will be successful."
Having said this, Elder Song paused again, looked in Ye Chen's direction intentionally or unintentionally, and said in a deep voice: "But these ores are all discarded ores screened by our Shenbing Pavilion, and most of them are stones.
Only a handful of people can produce iron materials, so if someone wants to rely on luck to get through, it doesn’t seem to be easy!”
