"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Today's young people are... amazing! After all, I am still..."
Looking at the pile of scraps, the old man with gray hair and beard standing next to Lou Gao, with a face like dry bark, was filled with disbelief. It wasn't until a long while later that he let out a long sigh.
.
Hearing the old man sighing for a while, the other master-level blacksmiths who had not woken up from the shock also woke up from a dream, looking at Oscar with complicated eyes and full of emotions.
Thinking back to when they were this age...
But just as he was reminiscing about the past, the expression on the old man's face suddenly changed dramatically.
A ray of light flashed through his cloudy eyes, and the old man immediately faced the height of the building, bowed his hands, and said solemnly.
"President Lou, you are the president of the Blacksmith Association, and you usually have many things to do and are busy with the world. Why don't you leave this son to me to teach you carefully? I will devote all my life's learning to training him to become one of the pillars of my blacksmith industry.
Talent!"
The picture shows the dagger, when the old man expressed his intention to accept Oscar as his disciple.
The expressions of Lou Gao and other master-level blacksmiths changed rapidly, and they immediately woke up.
Before, I was waiting to see other people’s jokes, but now I actually want to turn around and accept them as my disciple.
You are as thick-skinned as a city wall!
After scolding the old man for being shameless in his heart, the same thought as the old man quietly grew in his heart.
Lou Gao: "I..."
Just when Lou Gao opened his mouth and was about to say something, a relatively young-looking master blacksmith spoke first and said to the old man who just wanted to accept Oscar as his disciple.
"Mr. Zhang, what you said is inappropriate! Although President Lou has to take care of many things every day, we people don't have so many things to do. You are already old, so it is inevitable that you will have low energy." p>
"I think it's better to give this son to me! I will devote all my efforts to cultivate him into a talented person!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another voice came out.
"Lao Xie, you can get it! You were a master-level blacksmith in the year before last, and I have been in this level for more than ten years! It's better for me to train you! President Lou, don't you think so?" p>
Holding back a triumphant glance, the young master-level blacksmith, the owner of the voice, cast a flattering gaze on Lou Gao, as if waiting for Lou Gao to give him a satisfactory answer.
However, Lou Gao's reply has not yet come.
Another master-level blacksmith said disdainfully.
"Old Li, you can pull me down! With your teaching skills, it would be good if you don't let others go to waste. Your first two apprentices have not passed the blacksmith examination yet!
According to our old Zhu, this number 108 should be taught by me! Of the three apprentices I taught before, two have reached master blacksmith status, and the worst one has also passed master blacksmith status!
President Lou, give this son to me! I will definitely make him one of the pillars of the blacksmith industry..."
Just as several master-level blacksmiths are competing for Oscars.
The audience below also started talking about Oscar.
"I'll go! So this guy is so powerful? The power of one punch is so terrifying!"
"Look! Those masters seem to be vying to accept disciples!"
"I have long seen that this guy is extraordinary..."
"It's an afterthought again! Beat him!!!"
Looking around, everyone's discussion about Oscar became more and more heated, but Lou Gao had a look of worry on his face.
Although he thinks that blacksmithing is a good trade.
But for the vast majority of people on this continent, soul master is the most noble profession on this continent.
A young man who is less than twenty years old possesses the strength of a Soul King. No matter in the eyes of any force, he is a talent worth cultivating at all costs.
Indulging such a genius to waste time learning blacksmithing skills would not be done by any force.
He suspected that Oscar must have other purposes for coming here!
And no one knows what this hidden purpose is.
"Teacher, it's getting late now. Now that all contestants have been tested, do you think it's time to announce the preliminary results?"
Just when Lou Gao was puzzled, Silong asked, interrupting Lou Gao's thoughts.
I looked around for a moment, watching the street lights on the street, which were already lit, and the hazy night gradually enveloped the world.
Only then did Lou Gao realize that it was already getting late.
No longer spending time thinking about the purpose of Oscar, Lou Gao immediately decided to announce the preliminary results as soon as possible.
After coughing heavily for several times, the master-level blacksmith who was still fighting endlessly had to stop under Lou Gao's gaze.
"Quiet!"
Using his soul power, Lou Gao gently uttered two words, and the sound like a loud bell immediately rang in everyone's ears.
I saw everyone around me became quiet.
Lou Gao then quickly walked to the podium and announced the results of the preliminary round.
"The preliminary verification of all contestants has been completed! A total of four contestants have passed, and the four contestants are..."
After introducing the four people, Lou Gao announced the time and location of the rematch.
The time is the morning two days later, and the competition location is different from the preliminary competition. The rematch will be held on the third floor of the Blacksmiths Association Building.
......
In Gengxin City, in a dark alley.
Waves of tiny screams could be heard. Pedestrians passing by the alley felt their hearts tightening and immediately quickened their pace.
Obviously, they have realized that... there may be a "fight training" going on inside.
After a long time, the screams stopped, and a black shadow slowly emerged from the alley.
As if nothing had happened, he grabbed his wrist and twisted it a few times.
Oscar stretched, as if nothing happened, and walked straight towards Liu's Blacksmith Shop.
After about an hour of burning incense, a dark, strong man with a bruised nose and swollen face walked out staggeringly, holding on to the wall.
After carefully looking around, the strong man's bruised eyes revealed tears of regret.
Perhaps what Oscar doesn't know is that he has given the world an extra person who is cautious in his words and deeds.
......
With his head on his head, Oscar walked briskly through the side door into the backyard of Liu's blacksmith shop. At this time, Liu Mang, the young man who was responsible for receiving them before, walked forward with a smile on his face.
"Hey, master, congratulations, congratulations on your success in the preliminary round!"
Seeing the other party's sincere congratulations, Oscar nodded first, then patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him.
"Although you didn't pass this time, through this competition, you must have a clearer understanding of yourself."
"Fill in the gaps and I believe you will become a great blacksmith in the future!"
Hearing Oscar's encouragement, Liu Mang nodded heavily.
What is lost is what is gained. Although he failed to pass the competition this time, their family got a greater opportunity because of the Oscar.
In order to allow Zhu Xin to develop the soul guidance device more smoothly.
Oscar naturally began to think about how to get Liu Mang's family to come to him.
To achieve this goal, Oscar tried every means, even using his title from the Heaven Dou Empire to argue the case.
It's a pity that these can be used to persuade Liu Mang and his son, but they have no effect on Liu Mang's grandfather Liu Ren.
In the end, it was only after Oscar took out his homemade soul guide that Liu Ren agreed.
After the matter in Gengxin City comes to an end, move to Moyan City.
After chatting casually with Liu Mang for a few words, an old man dressed in metal ash came to Oscar with a huge hammer in his hand.
He said a little awkwardly.
"Master, this is my imitation soul guide. Do you think... can you help me carve a few formations as per my request..."
Between the words, the expectation and hope in the eyes are hard to ignore.
