Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night

Seeing the Ant King walk in enthusiastically, Jiang Xiu felt very satisfied and immediately began to meditate.

Tomorrow is the Blacksmith Association Competition, and there is only one Blacksmith Competition, and one competition will decide the champion.

Since his teacher Zhenhua has set the stage for him, he naturally has to perform well in this play!

Chapter 116: All parties are coming and are about to break history!

Silent all night.

The next day, the sun rose and the sunlight scattered.

A layer of golden light slowly climbed over the magnificent building of the Blacksmith Association, and the morning that should have been cold was actually bustling with activity.

A number of high-level soul-guided cars were parked not far away, and a group of arrogant young men stepped into the Blacksmith Association. They were the talented blacksmiths from all over the Federation, and they were aiming to become the champion of this Blacksmith Competition.

"Wow, there are so many people."

Inside the Blacksmith Association's internal competition arena, Na'er stood beside Jiang Xiu, her pink lips slightly parted as she watched the crowds of people entering her.

The originally spacious competition venue was gradually filled with contestants. There was a blacksmith standing in front of each forging table, and the number of contestants this time was far more than three times the previous number.

If the East China Sea Blacksmith Association had not been organized in advance, it would probably be difficult to accommodate so many participating teams.

"Of course. Who doesn't want Tianduan Metal?" Jiang Xiu seemed to have expected it and was not surprised.

Not only can Tianduan Metal be used to create four-character battle armor, it can also be used as the material for some magical artifacts. Its scarcity is naturally unquestionable, and it is something that is priceless. In order to win the championship reward this time, many children from large blacksmith families have been sent to compete.

"Jiang Xiu, look, my master is also in the VIP seats." Suddenly, Na'er's beautiful eyes lit up and she pointed to the VIP seats above the stadium.

Jiang Xiu followed Na'er's gaze and saw the graceful figure sitting in the middle right position. Wasn't she Leng Yaozhu?

Leng Yaozhu naturally saw Na'er and Jiang Xiu in the arena. Her red lips curled up slightly and she made a "come on" gesture.

On the table in front of her, there was a red card with the words "Leng Family" written on it.

Jiang Xiu first nodded slightly to Leng Yaozhu, then his eyes swept across the VIP seats one by one, and his eyes couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Phoenix Leng Family, Angel Le Family, Panlong Qiangu Family, Federal Yu Family, Federal Wang Family, Federal Zhang Family, Tang Clan, Shrek Academy...

The VIP seats were filled with the top families and forces on the continent, and there were as many as fifteen behemoths like this in the VIP seats, and even the seats of the East China Sea Federation members could only be at the end.

"teacher……"

Seeing this, Jiang Xiu murmured to himself, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He knew very well that these forces were invited by his teacher Zhenhua, and only his teacher Zhenhua had such a large network of contacts.

All of this was to build momentum for his disciple and reduce obstacles to his own growth and the revival of the Body Sect.

There was even an empty seat in the VIP seats, with three golden characters written on it: Benti Sect!

"quiet!"

At this moment, a low voice sounded, clearly spreading throughout the entire stadium, and the entire stadium instantly fell silent.

Then, one by one, blacksmiths in golden robes walked up to the judges' seats. There were sixteen judges in total, and each of them had at least seven blue-gold lines on their shoulders. The four blacksmiths sitting in the center had eight blue-gold lines on their shoulders.

Their appearance instantly made the contestants in the stadium gasp, and their eyes revealed enthusiasm and respect.

Because these sixteen judges are all the legendary Saint Craftsmen, and in such a huge federation, there are only more than twenty Saint Craftsman-level blacksmiths, and more than half of them have already arrived.

The four in the middle are eighth-level holy craftsmen who are only one step away from being divine craftsmen. There are only four of them in the entire federation, and all four are present now.

After the sixteen judges arrived at their seats, they did not sit down immediately, as if they were waiting for something.

After they walked in, a middle-aged man in a red robe walked in slowly. There were nine blue and gold lines on his shoulders, which meant that he was the only master craftsman on the continent, Zhenhua, the president of the Blacksmith Association!

Seeing his appearance, many contestants in the stadium became excited instantly. For many of them, Zhenhua, as a master craftsman, was a legendary existence and a senior whom they needed to look up to throughout their lives.

Zhenhua walked slowly to the center of the judges' seats, nodded slightly to the major forces in the VIP seats, and then slowly sat down.

After Zhenhua took his seat, the other holy craftsmen took their seats one by one.

"Thank you all for coming this time to see the geniuses of our blacksmith community. As the president of the Blacksmith Association, I am deeply grateful."

Zhenhua's voice sounded slowly, and many forces in the VIP seats smiled and nodded. The master craftsman Zhenhua invited them to come. Although they didn't know Zhenhua's purpose, they would give him face.

As a master craftsman, who would dare not care about such a precious species?

Afterwards, Zhenhua signaled to a level six blacksmith beside him, and the blacksmith understood and said aloud.

"Each contestant will choose a rare metal to forge. The forging time is two hours. The final judges will judge and determine the top three."

"Let's not talk too much, the game begins now."

Originally a master-level blacksmith, he could sit on the judges' panel in ordinary blacksmith competitions, but now he is clearly unqualified and can only serve as an enforcer on the field.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the blacksmiths in the audience became serious instantly. They each took out their own forging hammers and selected the rare metals they were good at.

“Just let it go.”

Zhenhua's voice rang in Jiang Xiu's ears, and after seeing the encouraging look of his teacher Zhenhua, Jiang Xiu's eyes instantly became firm and sharp, and he slowly took out his Kanjin Hammer from the storage ring.

His teacher has already paved the way for him, so he naturally cannot let his teacher down.

Immediately, Jiang Xiu scanned the more than ten rare metals in front of him, and finally stopped on a piece of dark blue rare metal, reaching out to hold it in front of him.

This piece of dark blue rare metal is half the size of a basketball and emits a faint glow. At first glance, it gives a sense of dense layers. The name of this rare metal is Mother Earth Silver.

Its characteristics are flexibility, strength, and high density. It can be said to be the metal that blacksmiths below the grandmaster level are most reluctant to face, but it is also a rare metal that can withstand spiritual forging.

A blacksmith standing by couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he saw Jiang Xiu choose Earth Mother Silver, with a look that said "You can't grasp it".

But he didn't say much. Everyone has their own destiny. It is best to let go of the desire to help others and respect the fate of others.

When Jiang Xiu set it up, the entire arena was filled with the sounds of forging, clanging, sometimes light, sometimes dull, and flames kept bursting out.

"Come on, I'll let you be my path to promotion."

Jiang Xiu gripped the hammer handle tightly with both hands, his eyes were sharp, the muscles on his arms bulged, and he swung the huge Kanjin Hammer fiercely towards the Earth Mother Youyin.

"boom!"

A dull collision sounded like thunder, and a layer of dark blue ripples instantly spread out from the Earth Mother's Dark Silver. A big hole suddenly appeared on the originally dense metal body, and this hammer instantly attracted the attention of many saints on the judges' bench.

As the hammer fell, Jiang Xiu's speed did not slow down at all. The two golden hammers were like two golden dragons with bared fangs and claws, biting towards the Earth Mother Youyin like a rain of pear blossoms.

"Boom boom boom!"

Jiang Xiu steadied his steps, strands of blood and energy swirled around him, dim light and fire kept flickering in the collision. In just half a minute, the golden hammer had fallen hundreds of times.

The surface of the Earth Mother Silver was also constantly changing. The originally dense texture gradually shrank, tiny golden lines began to emerge, and the entire volume began to shrink continuously. This was the manifestation of a hundred forgings.

This scene instantly piqued the interest of the Saint Craftsman on the judging panel, who continued to watch the movements of Jiang Xiu's hands.

"Boom boom boom!"

Dull sounds continued to be heard. Jiang Xiu stood firm, swung his arms in a circle, golden light continued to splash, and dark red blood swirled around him.

At this time, on the Earth Mother Silver, golden lines had begun to converge, forming gorgeous patterns, with a faint golden light emerging. The Earth Mother Silver seemed to be injected with life, and began to move in rhythm with Jiang Xiu's movements.

"Whose disciple is this? He's so powerful! He's almost reaching the first level of the Thousand Forgings!"

On the judges' panel, a seventh-level Saint Craftsman showed shock in his eyes and said in surprise, "You know, all the blacksmiths here are under sixteen years old. At such a young age, they can forge a thousand-forged first-grade forger. It's a foregone conclusion that they will become Saint Craftsmen in the future."

"Buzz!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire piece of Mother Earth Silver began to emit brilliant golden light, which was three feet long.

The burst of light is the sign of the first level of the Thousand Forgings.

"No! He's still forging!"

As the voice of another eighth-level Saint Craftsman sounded, everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see that Jiang Xiu's speed not only did not stop, but became more intense, and the whole person seemed to have entered a special state.

"How can it be!"

"What does he want to do!"

Chapter 117: Thoughts from all sides, shocking skills!

The eyes of many saint craftsmen were all focused on Jiang Xiu. They looked in amazement at the Kanjin Hammer in Jiang Xiu's hand surging like a golden dragon, smashing towards the Earth Mother Youyin without any pause.

"Is he going to break through to the first level of Thousand Refining?"

"No, he is just breaking through the Thousand-Rank First Refining Stage. He is moving towards the Half-Step Spirit Refining Stage!"

“Are young people nowadays so crazy?”

"Not screaming at young people?"

Amidst the clanging sounds of forging, many Saint Craftsmen were discussing among themselves, their voices filled with shock and admiration. If this half-step spiritual forging could truly be completed, then a rising star would be rising in their forging world.

"Everyone, be quiet. Are you so restless over a little scene? What's the rush?"

Zhenhua sat in the center of the judges' seat, listening to the exclamations from those around him. His face was extremely calm, but he was secretly happy in his heart, and even the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"You're so shocked at the beginning of the Half-Step Spiritual Refining. What if Xiao Xiu completes the Half-Step Spiritual Refining? You're really ignorant."

You know, as early as half a year ago, Jiang Xiu completed the half-step spiritual training under his witness, and now he should be more proficient.

As for completely completing the spirit forging, Zhenhua had no such idea, because spirit forging represented the master-level blacksmith, which could only be attempted by blacksmiths with the cultivation level of Soul Sect or above. Jiang Xiu was only Soul Master at the moment.

The level of a blacksmith is also linked to his cultivation.

"Brother, this is the disciple you secretly accepted, right?"

Mu Chen, who was sitting next to Zhenhua, shifted his gaze away from Jiang Xiu and looked at Zhenhua, who was as steady as a rock. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he asked with a hint of meaning.

"Hmm." Zhenhua glanced at Muchen and nodded his chin slightly.

In the past, in order to prevent Jiang Xiu from being disturbed by external factors, he did not tell anyone except the few people closest to him that he had accepted a disciple.

But now, it is time for Jiang Xiu, his disciple, to show himself.

And this Blacksmith Competition is a great gift that he, as a teacher, gives to Jiang Xiu to truly enter the world of soul masters.

"That's really well hidden," Muchen glanced at Zhenhua, then looked at Tang Wulin who was working hard on forging, and sighed inwardly, "It seems like Wulin has no chance of winning the championship this time."

He had seen the information of all the contestants who came to participate this time. The highest one was only a fourth-level blacksmith. If he were outside, he would indeed be a rare genius among ten thousand. But now in the competition, everyone is a genius, and many of them can complete a thousand forgings.

In the VIP seats, people from various major families were also observing the situation in the arena.

There is no doubt that battle armor plays a role for soul masters. It can even allow them to fight across levels. The demand for battle armor among their major families is huge. If they can now cooperate with the talented blacksmiths who have not yet grown up, there will undoubtedly be huge benefits.

"Yaozhu, that Jiang Xiu is the beloved disciple of His Majesty, right?" Qiangu Dongfeng looked at Leng Yaozhu beside him and asked meaningfully.
