Several old men looked at the contestants who were filled with indignation and were preparing to pack their things and withdraw from the competition, and shook their heads with regret.
"Old Lou! You took out the mithril plate armor in the first round. Isn't this embarrassing the young people?"
Looking at Lou Gao who returned to the VIP table, an old man sighed and said.
This sentence of "He Kuai" has been recognized by many master-level blacksmiths.
"Old man Song is right, you are indeed a bit difficult!"
"This preliminary round not only tests everyone's blacksmithing skills, but also tests the blacksmith's own soul power. You are testing two things in one question!"
"That's right, if there are some blacksmiths with good skills but poor soul power, they may not be able to pass the first round!"
......
Hearing that everyone complained about the test he set, Lou Gao replied nonchalantly.
"You guys! It's just too easy. If the test is too simple, what's the point? And for a blacksmith, soul power and technology are very important."
"If you want to become a master-level blacksmith, do you think it's possible if you don't have Soul King and Soul Emperor-level strength?"
After hearing Lou Gao's answer, everyone remained silent and watched the game carefully.
Although they don't agree in their hearts, who calls Lou Gao the only divine blacksmith?
Seeing that no one was refusing to answer, Lou Gao said no more and concentrated on observing the contestants.
Lou Gao has worked hard for this blacksmith competition.
Although there is a hint of showing off in it, the main purpose is to select blacksmiths with outstanding talents.
Not to mention other preparations, just casting these armors took the four disciples of Lou Gao nearly three months.
If one were to charge a fee for selling armor to a soul master as usual, this would definitely not be a small amount of money.
......
In the competition venue,
The young blacksmiths who did not leave communicated with each other for a while, and then they all returned to their simple forging furnaces with sullen expressions.
Obviously they were very dissatisfied with the difficulty of this preliminary round.
The crowd dispersed, except for one young man who still did not return to his forging platform.
Ignoring the clanking sound behind him, Oscar touched the cold surface of the mithril plate armor.
"Huh...it seems they were right."
"This armor is indeed hard enough to withstand the attacks of most ordinary soul masters, but as long as a good weapon is forged, soul masters at the soul master level can also break through."
After using a little force to test the defensive power of the mithril plate armor, Oscar murmured to himself.
Letting go of his hand, a slight dent appeared on the surface of the mithril plate armor.
"Hey! What's going on with that kid? Why haven't you started forging yet?"
"Everyone else has started, but this guy is still looking around. Isn't he scared out of his wits?"
"This guy is a bit unfamiliar! He doesn't seem to be from our city..."
"He is the only one who is very skinny in the audience. Is he really a blacksmith? He is not the one who enlivens the atmosphere in the atmosphere team, right?"
......
Listening to the knocking sounds of the contestants in the compartment, the onlookers discovered that Oscar was still observing the mithril armor.
Discussions began immediately. Obviously, compared with other contestants, Oscar's behavior seemed very unusual.
While the discussion in the audience was in full swing, many master-level blacksmiths in the VIP seats also noticed this young man who had been observing the mithril armor.
Most of them were confused about this young man's behavior.
Look, what’s the use?
You have to start crafting weapons quickly! Do you still want to continue to ponder the craftsmanship of mithril plate armor?
Like other master-level blacksmiths, Lou Gao's eyes also stayed on Oscar for a long time. He didn't know what Oscar wanted to do.
"Silong, who is No. 108? Does he have an intermediate blacksmith certificate?"
After pondering for a moment, Lou Gao turned over his fat body, narrowed his eyes into a horizontal line, and said with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
"Teacher, I have checked the certificates of all the players before the competition. There should be no mistakes. As for No. 108... his situation is a bit special. I haven't had time to tell the teacher yet.
."
After hearing the teacher's question, Silong explained in a low voice.
"This No. 108 passed the intermediate blacksmith examination just yesterday afternoon. After passing it, he immediately signed up to participate in the competition. And..."
Before he finished speaking, Silong lowered his voice and continued in Lou Gao's ear.
"And...he is less than twenty years old!"
After hearing Silong's words, Lou Gao's old, fleshy face trembled slightly.
He nervously looked at the reactions of the others, and after confirming that the other master-level blacksmiths had not heard what he just said, he asked quietly in a low voice.
"Really?"
"It's true!" Seeing Lou Gao confirming it to him again, Silong answered more solemnly.
After listening for a moment, Lou Gao suddenly showed a wicked smile, like a weasel who has successfully stolen a chicken.
"Silong! Later, please add ten years to this boy's age!"
After hearing Lou Gao's instructions, Silong hesitated for a moment and then suddenly realized.
He immediately left the VIP seat and walked towards the staff.
This time he encountered a treasure. He became an intermediate craftsman at such a young age. What this represents is naturally self-evident.
Isn’t this just God putting food into your mouth?
At this moment, he already understood the reason why Oscar didn't take action for a long time.
Yes! That's right! Just as these master blacksmiths guessed, this little guy is studying the craftsmanship of mithril plate armor.
This young man has only recently reached the level of intermediate blacksmith. He must know that it will be difficult for him to pass, so he chose to give up the competition and concentrate on studying the craftsmanship of mithril plate armor.
After all, he is destined to fail in this blacksmith competition, so he might as well spend some time to improve himself by studying the art of making mithril plate armor.

This is better than getting nothing at all.
After thinking clearly about Oscar's logic, Lou Gao secretly praised Oscar's decisiveness.
He had already thought about it. After this boy failed, he would quietly order Silong to accept him as his disciple, and then he would come and teach him personally.
It's a pity that Oscar doesn't know these thoughts of Lou Gao, otherwise he would definitely refute them.
"This thing...does it require weapons?"
Although Lou Gao underestimated Oscar's strength, there was one thing he analyzed correctly.
Oscar is indeed inferring the craftsmanship of the mithril plate armor by observing its finished product.
After two hours of observation and thinking, Oscar had preliminary ideas for the production of mithril plate armor.
Just as he was about to return to his cubicle, a familiar and joking voice came from the cubicle next to him.
"Hey! Are you ready to start forging? I thought you would study there for five or six hours!"
Looking back, Oscar's face suddenly sank, it's him again!
He was also the one who picked the bulletin board a month ago.
Unexpectedly, this time, he was just passing by the cubicle, but was ridiculed by this guy again.
Looking at the dark-skinned man with raised eyebrows, Oscar replied lightly.
"Even if I spend five or six hours studying, I can still get by."
With a sneer, the dark burly man had an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Who doesn't know how to brag?"
Shrugging, Oscar didn't bother to explain to him and turned around to leave. However, after taking a few steps, Oscar suddenly stopped and gave him a meaningful look.
"I advise you to use rat tail juice..."
After saying that, he walked towards his cubicle without looking back.
