The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

To pass the third round and successfully enter the fourth round, you need to have a level 5 forging skill to pass with certainty.

Otherwise, even a level four peak blacksmith like Ma Dashuai would have a very slim chance of passing.

Because the forging time is only fifteen days.

General Ma was completely immersed in the forging process.

He avoids all external perception.

He seemed to see his family passing down the Divine Craftsman's Shop to him.

Why is he called the Commander-in-Chief?

"My father wants me to take charge of the Divine Craftsman's Shop and pass on this brand name."

"Alright, in any case, the Divine Craftsman's Shop is the Ma family's brand, and it is just as important as the Ma family's forging skills. We must not allow any mistakes."

"My child understands."

"My biggest regret is that I didn't get to see you become a level 5 blacksmith."

"Your child is unfilial."

……

Ma Dashuai's father was also once a high-ranking god.

In the God-level Continent, as long as one becomes a powerful god, whether it is a lower god, a middle god, or a higher god, one possesses endless life.

But if injured, one can also die.

Ma Dashuai's father was once a level 5 blacksmith.

As a level 5 blacksmith, he possesses considerable wealth.

While traveling and visiting a master blacksmith, Ma Dashuai's father encountered Jie Xiu.

It leaves hidden dangers in life.

In the end, he still distanced himself from Ma Dashuai.

However, as a high-ranking god, Ma Dashuai's father can enter the cycle of reincarnation. As long as his soul remains intact and the cause and effect continue, Ma Dashuai may be able to see his father in the future.

If the father sees the Divine Craftsman's Shop disappear.

What should one think of that?

The Divine Craftsman Shop is not only a legacy of the Ma family, but also a cherished memory of Ma Dashuai's father.

It was also a response from General Ma to his father, a coordinate, hoping that one day, when his father successfully reincarnated and returned to Baidi City, he could find the Divine Craftsman's Shop and the father and son could be reunited.

"when!"

Ma Dashuai had deep feelings for his father.

When it comes to honing his skills, Ma Dashuai is 100% dedicated.

There are ten sets of refining materials in total.

Ma Dashuai lost two points.

But his state of mind remained unaffected.

It was as if they had forgotten about gains and losses.

They forgot that if they failed in this battle, they would lose the reputation of Shenjiangpu.

"Father."

He was silent.

He wanted to demonstrate his skills to his elderly father today.

He wanted to convince his father that one day he could become a level five blacksmith.

"when!"

Master Yang was also completely absorbed in it.

He knew he couldn't help Ma Dashuai protect the reputation of Shenjiangpu, but as the blacksmith of Shenjiangpu, he was determined to shine the brightest at this crucial moment.

To help the Divine Craftsman Shop save some face.

He was already prepared that if the Divine Craftsman's Shop truly lost its reputation, he would follow Commander Ma wherever he went. He would not remain in Baidi City.

Or find a place where no one knows you, and together with Ma Dashuai, set up the signboard of the Divine Craftsman's Shop. No matter what, the signboard of the Divine Craftsman's Shop cannot disappear from the God-level Continent.

It cannot be completely replaced by the Divine Craftsman Pavilion.

He was determined to live or die with the Divine Craftsman's Shop.

"when!"

Wu Xiaomei was covered in sweat.

She lacks the wisdom of Ma Dashuai and the long-term goals and perspectives of Master Yang.

She only wanted to showcase her skills and gain recognition at the forging competition.

She also wanted to help Ma Dashuai protect the Shenjiangpu signboard.

But reality told her that it was impossible.

If the Divine Craftsman's Shop loses its reputation, then I might have to leave Baidi City with Commander Ma, and I will never be able to participate in a forging competition of this scale again.

Therefore, this is my only chance.

She must seize this rare opportunity to show everyone her potential and make everyone remember her as Wu Xiaomei, the blacksmith.

Let everyone know that Wu Xiaomei was here.

It is precisely because of this thought.

Wu Xiaomei seemed rather anxious.

This led to a series of mistakes.

"boom!"

She kept frying things in the oven.

We lost one batch of refining materials after another.

Time flies.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Wu Xiaomei only had one last set of refining materials left.

"It's all or nothing."

She said silently to herself.

Continue refining.

three days later.

Crushing of materials used in weapon crafting.

Wu Xiaomei failed again.

Without the materials for refining weapons, we have to leave.

You have to step off the forging table.

Once she steps off the forging platform, she will be unable to enter the fourth round, all the light within her will vanish, and she will sit in a corner, forgotten by everyone.

This situation is extremely painful.

This is something Wu Xiaomei cannot accept at this moment.

"I'm sorry, you have run out of refining materials. Your competition is over. Please leave."

A staff member noticed that Wu Xiaomei had failed and came over to whisper something.

Although it was very polite, it sounded extremely grating to Wu Xiaomei, even carrying a sense of disgust and disdain, which made her very angry.

But in this situation, she was helpless.

They had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

He stepped down from the dazzling forging table, where countless eyes were fixed upon him.

"Zhang Lingfeng."

"This guy actually has so many refining materials."

"This is outrageous! There are only two days left, and he hasn't even used up his first batch of forging materials. Does he think that any divine weapon he forges casually will pass the test?"

Just then, Wu Xiaomei, who was about to leave, saw a pile of refining materials on the forging table where Zhang Lingfeng was.

There are ten sets of refining materials in total.

Zhang Lingfeng hadn't even used a single refining material yet.

Fifteen days.

If it weren't for the sprint to the Divine Craftsman Shop, attempting to forge a divine weapon that could meet the standards of the tournament and successfully advance to the fourth round, Wu Xiaomei wouldn't have wasted so many refining materials.

It's precisely because I set my standards too high.

During the forging process, many problems were discovered, and the standards could not be met, so the refining materials had to be replaced, resulting in the scrapping of ten sets of refining materials within thirteen days.

Otherwise, it will be based on the skills of a level three blacksmith.

With those ten sets of refining materials, she could basically forge a divine weapon, but the level would not meet the standard.

Zhang Lingfeng must have been just trying to forge a divine weapon to get by, without ever thinking of helping the Divine Craftsman Shop gain an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Even if someone's skills surpass mine, so what?

"If these refining materials could be given to me, perhaps I could create a miracle."

"My master really misjudged me."

"It's a good thing I didn't pass on my skills to this guy."

"I wonder what my master will think when he sees Zhang Lingfeng still has so many refining materials left after the conference ends?"

Wu Xiaomei muttered to herself.

My opinion of Zhang Lingfeng has dropped again.

Because of her elimination, she felt a deep disdain for Zhang Lingfeng, as if she had returned to the way things were before, looking at him with disdain for everything he did. "Xiaomei, you've already done your best."

Wu Xiaomei stepped down from the forging table and returned to the Ma family's rest area, where Ma Fei comforted her.

Wu Xiaomei is only a level three blacksmith and has the strength of a lower god, so it is impossible for her to forge a divine weapon that meets the standards of the tournament.

Even Zhang Lingfeng couldn't.

The only hope lies with Master Ma and Master Yang.

So Ma Fei wasn't surprised to see Wu Xiaomei eliminated.

He didn't want Wu Xiaomei to feel discouraged, so he offered her encouragement.

"Hmph, it's all because of that Zhang Lingfeng. When I came down, I saw that he still had a lot of refining materials in his hands. That guy didn't even try to make a move at this crucial moment."

Even if he succeeds in forging a complete divine weapon, if it doesn't meet the standards of the tournament, he won't be able to help the Divine Craftsman Shop preserve its reputation.

It's better to go all out and give it your all.

Perhaps there was a chance to succeed from ten sets of refining materials, but this guy, greedy for fame and fortune, did nothing so as not to end up like me, being forced down from my position.

"hateful!"

"Master really misjudged me."

Wu Xiaomei became increasingly angry as she spoke.

"what……"

Ma Fei was caught off guard.

It's not that I'm blaming Zhang Lingfeng, but I feel that Wu Xiaomei shouldn't blame Zhang Lingfeng at this time. Besides, it seems that Zhang Lingfeng's methods of forging divine weapons are not wrong.

You should know that Zhang Lingfeng turned against the Divine Craftsman Pavilion for the sake of the Ma family.

This incident shows that Zhang Lingfeng is a reliable person who is willing to stand with Shenjiangpu through thick and thin.

"What do you mean, 'huh'? You're just a coward, a useless piece of trash. You don't dare to take a chance."

Wu Xiaomei said very bluntly.

"This cannot be entirely blamed on Master Zhang."

Ma Fei spoke up for Zhang Lingfeng.

"Did I do something wrong? Do you want me to see a divine weapon that doesn't even meet the standards of the tournament, making a fool of myself, or do you want to take a gamble and try to find a glimmer of hope among the ten sets of forging materials?"

Wu Xiaomei countered with a question.

"This……"

Ma Fei choked.

"Hello, is this the rest area of ​​Ma's Divine Craftsman Shop?"

Just when Ma Fei didn't know what to do...

Yan Fei inquired along the way and finally found Ma Fei.

At this moment, the blacksmiths of the Baruch family were also honing their forging skills.

"you are?"

Ma Fei asked.

“I am a friend of Master Zhang. I don’t know if Master Zhang is still at your Shenjiang Shop. I come from the Baruch area.”

Yan Fei explained.

"Oh, you must be Brother Yan, Yan Fei."

Ma Fei helped Zhang Lingfeng inquire about Yan Fei, but he never met Yan Fei in person.

Having seen the photo of Yan Fei that Zhang Lingfeng had given him, Ma Fei didn't have a deep impression of him. But when Yan Fei mentioned Zhang Lingfeng and said that he was from the Baruch region, Ma Fei immediately remembered this.

"Yes, where is he?"

Yan Fei asked.

Many blacksmiths participated in the conference.

There are many restrictions and isolation measures.

Yan Fei could see several figures with his naked eye, but he couldn't tell which one was Zhang Lingfeng.

Of course, it's possible that Zhang Lingfeng didn't participate in the forging competition.

Besides, this is already in the third round.

As far as he knew, when Zhang Lingfeng sent someone to find him, he was only a first-level blacksmith.

Even if a first-level blacksmith participates in the blacksmithing tournament, it is impossible for them to make it to the third round.

“Master Zhang is participating in the competition. You can see him over there.”

Ma Fei pointed Yan Fei in a direction.

"what?"

Yan Fei was dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingfeng was participating in the competition.

"Master Zhang is really skilled now; he's a level three blacksmith."

Ma Fei reminded him.

"A level three blacksmith? This guy is truly defying the heavens. He can always get ahead of me. Is it his divine body?"

Yan Fei looked amazed.

But when I thought it was Zhang Lingfeng, I felt relieved.

“Master Zhang has already attained the status of a deity.”

Ma Fei said.

"Truly worthy of being the ruler of the Blackwater Starfield, the supreme true god who can suppress the Ancestral River in the world above."

Yan Fei expressed his sincere admiration.

I originally thought the rules were different on the god-level continent.

As a physical cultivator, he could gain all the advantages, surpass Zhang Lingfeng in cultivation, protect Zhang Lingfeng, and give Zhang Lingfeng a better life.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingfeng not only attained the status of a god.

He is now a level three blacksmith.

And they successfully advanced to the third round.

The fact that they are still holding their ground at the conference shows that there is no problem with the forged divine weapons.

"Blackwater Starfield?"

Wu Xiaomei frowned.

"It's a small place; Zhang Lingfeng and I both come from there."

Yan Fei said casually.

Thinking of the memories created by Zhang Lingfeng, from a martial arts student at No. 9 Middle School to the God-level Continent, Yan Fei sighed sincerely, "Perhaps he will amaze everyone again at this forging competition."

"Stunning?"

"It's good enough if he doesn't become a laughing stock. As a level three blacksmith, he doesn't even have the courage to take a chance."

Wu Xiaomei looked disdainful.

"This young lady probably has some misunderstanding about my brother!"

Yan Fei said.

"There's no misunderstanding, just disdain."

Wu Xiaomei said without any hesitation.

“Mr. Yan, Master Wu is also a blacksmith at our Shenjiang Shop. He often exchanges skills with Master Zhang. Please don’t overthink it.”

Ma Fei hurriedly said.

“We understand that such resentment must stem from some injustice. If I’m not mistaken, my brother is definitely superior to you in every way, isn’t he?”

Yan Fei said confidently.

"What are you talking about?"

Wu Xiaomei disagreed.

“If you are better than my brother, why are you not forging your skills up there instead of showing up here? Obviously, you have been eliminated, while my brother is still going strong.”

Yan Fei smiled.

“What do you know? I’m doing my best to fight for a chance to help the Divine Crafts Shop keep its reputation. Unlike Zhang Lingfeng, who is afraid of failure and being driven down, and thus forges useless and substandard divine weapons.”

Wu Xiaomei retorted.

"Mr. Yan, Xiao Mei."

Ma Fei wanted to resolve the conflict between the two.

“Since my brother can forge divine weapons, then the divine weapons he forges will meet the standards. As for what you just said about protecting the reputation, although I don’t know what happened, please believe in my brother. My brother will definitely be able to do it.”

Yan Fei looked confident and certain.

I recall the scene when I first met Zhang Lingfeng in Nancheng.

Everything Zhang Lingfeng did was met with skepticism and was both laughable and absurd, but it didn't amaze everyone that time.

“He’s your brother, you can protect him however you want, but no matter what you say, you can’t change his current actions because he’s afraid of being kicked out.”

Wu Xiaomei retorted.

"If I'm not mistaken, my brother is not only more skilled than you, but he also spends less time training and doesn't practice much, yet he excels in everything, leaving you helpless, isn't that right?"

Yan Fei said.

Ma Fei's eyes lit up. (End of Chapter)
