Chapter 329 – The Golden Three Steps

The huge martial arts arena reminded Xu Yan of the Thorn Cutting Platform he had seen in Thorn Cutting City. It's just that this time he was a spectator, but this time he became the object of viewing. Outside the four sides of the martial arts arena, there are auditoriums, which can accommodate at least nearly 10,000 people.

In addition, the martial arts arena of this iron-blooded battle gate is many times larger than the thorn cutting platform, and between the audience and the martial arts arena, there is a Tao that is not very conspicuous, but it has unconcealed fluctuations. Obviously, there is a pattern to isolate the ripples between the ripples, otherwise if the ripple affects the visitors, then who would dare to come and see?

After Shi Feng officially announced the start, the people were all led by the disciples of the Iron and Blood Battle Sect and sat down neatly. The people who entered the entrance were more likely to look at those who were standing calmly on the stone platform and pointing. After all, these big names are rare to see in the past!

At this moment, I can see these big people who have no end in sight, as if their ordinary lives have moved closer to this mysterious world.

After more than half an hour, it was densely packed with people. Even outside, there were still people who wanted to squeeze in, but they were ruthlessly driven away by the guards of the Iron and Blood Gate guarding outside.

............

During this time, those big names were chatting on stage about something that was not nutritious. After all, they have conflicts of interest with each other, so naturally they don't have much sincerity. Like Hua Xiaoxiao, who seems to be smiling, he has nothing to say with the star-picking old monster, but in fact, the two sides don't know how many times they want to strangle each other to death.

Finally, Shi Feng was the first to stand up.

He looked around and said aloud, "The first battle of the academy exchange - forging!"

As his majestic voice swept through the audience, he suppressed those noisy and nonsense voices: "Forging, naturally it is the tattoo soldier of the fingerprint person. 」

"The tattooed soldier can be said to be the second life of the tattooer. A powerful tattoo soldier can make a qualitative leap in the strength of the tattooer. That's why it's hard to find good tattoos, and it's even harder to find good blacksmiths!"

"Forging a piece is more assiduous than practicing. In addition to cultivation and talent, a lot of knowledge is needed to support it. The coordination of the pattern and the matching of materials can be said to be a science to create accuracy without errors. 」

"And every subject needs a steady stream of fresh blood to support. The old man is not a nobody, and when it comes to the art of forging, our south is indeed far from the north. Just the fact that the only forging god master in the continent is standing in the Burning Heaven Mountain in the north is enough to prove it. 」

"It's just that the strength of our south lies in the imparting of knowledge and scholarship! There is no divine teacher today, maybe a hundred years later, there will be a divine teacher here!"

Shi Feng looked down, and his voice was low: "The forging representatives of the various academies are in the ranks, and the other students have returned to the areas of their respective academies to watch the battle!"

Jin Qianji patted Xu Yan's shoulder: "Come on." 」

Xu Yan shouted, "What kind of oil do you add, it looks like I'm going to lose." 」

Jin Qianji shrugged: "Who knows. 」

Xu Yanqiang couldn't help but rush forward and punch this guy a few times: "Hurry up and go back to the audience to cheer for Lao Tzu." 」

"Haha. Jin Qianji snorted.

............

Xu Yan's gaze swept over the students who were still standing around, almost all of them were men. But think about it, there are really not too many women who are fascinated by the rough work of blacksmithing.

It's just that he found that many people's eyes were hostile to him.

He didn't expect that because of the forging and cultivation of the youngest master realm, everyone present regarded him as the number one enemy.

Xu Yan looked at it for a week and found that almost everyone looked at him with hostility, and he was no longer bored, just closed his eyes and waited for the competition to begin.

When all the students returned to the seats, Shi Feng said aloud, "This forging is also presided over by Grandmaster Feng of the Forging Academy. At the same time, Grandmaster Feng is also the author of this assessment. 」

After finishing speaking, Feng Yan stood up and stood out of the dust.

As a grandmaster, he naturally has the demeanor of a grandmaster.

That every move seemed to contain the truth of heaven and earth, and everyone else was silently distracted.

Feng Yan's voice was cold, but Xu Yan frowned after hearing this...... Why is this sound a little familiar? It's just that after thinking about it carefully, I didn't think of anything, so I closed my eyes and didn't pay attention to it.

"Forging is an unfathomable and ever-changing technique. 」

"It's just changing, but it's not deviating. 」

"The process of forging a tattooed soldier is extremely complicated. But there are several major processes that will not be missing. 」

"Material selection, melting, casting, engraving. 」

"Among them, smelting is a unique process that only fire forgers have, and there is no water casting or grass refining. 」

"Therefore, material selection, casting, and engraving are the three major processes in forging, and they are also known as the three steps of gold. 」

"If man is not God, he will be wrong. It's just that in forging, there can be no mistake in these golden three steps. In these three steps, if you make a mistake, your tattooed soldiers will almost be wasted. 」

Feng Yan's gaze swept over the students below, especially the time he stayed on Xu Yan's bald head for more than half a second, and then he immediately moved away: "On the first day of the selection battle, the test was one of the three golden steps—casting. 」

Feng Yan patted the jade pendant on his waist, and held a picture scroll in his hand and landed in his hand: "Participating students, please take a look." 」

I saw that when Feng Yan spread out the scroll, a lifelike tattooed beast was in the painting. As soon as the scroll opened, a fierce color swept through the audience, and even Xu Yan immediately opened his eyes and stared at the scroll with suspicion in his eyes.

"This tattooed beast is called [Yamagui]. 」

"Yamagui is a fierce beast of ancient times. Its mouth can swallow the heavens and the earth, and its roar can spread thousands of miles, even in ancient times, there were many strong people, and Shangui had its foothold. It's just that in the past thousand years, there has been no news of Yama Kei anymore, and he has become one of the legendary monsters. 」

"And this Yamagui picture scroll is the Yamagui scroll that a powerful cultivator obtained from it after breaking through the ruins of the ancient tomb. As you can see, the artist's tattooing skills are amazing. There is a condensed texture between the strokes in the paintings, so you can still feel the breath of white noodles today. 」

"Such a picture scroll is worthy of God's work!"

Xu Yan looked at the picture scroll in front of him, and the pores of his whole body stood up.

The tattooed beast in the picture scroll in front of him is definitely not handsome, and even a little ugly. It was a tattooed beast that looked like a frog on all fours, but its whole body was full of horns, and its long tongue spat out a rainbow comparable to the most boundless in the sky.

Of course, these are just the sensations that come with the scroll.

Xu Yan was also amazed, even a picture scroll made him feel a sense of crisis, so how profound is the artist's strength and painting skills?

Feng Yan paused for a moment and said slowly, "Please contestants, create a thing with the most charm of this patterned beast [Shangui], even if it is just an ornament. 」

"Because this time the test is casting. 」
