After the format of the melee competition is determined, the grand final, which was supposed to take a few days to finish, will compete for the final champion tomorrow.

The appearance of a Soul Emperor on the stage of the Elite Tournament is unprecedented.

The temporary change of one-on-one knockout round to melee format is also unprecedented.

This matter has spread throughout Wuhun City, and then from Wuhun City to nearby cities, one by ten, ten by hundred, and finally known to the world.

In just one day, what happened in Wuhun City had already spread to the blacksmith capital of the Star Luo Empire, Geng Xincheng.

In Gengxin City.

A blacksmith's shop.

Blacksmiths are not all ordinary people, and there are many blacksmiths who are soul masters, but martial souls and soul skills focus on the development of forging techniques, so they will be much weaker than war soul masters in terms of strength.

Like this kind of soul master blacksmith, he not only pays attention to the news of the blacksmith world, but also likes to inquire about the changes in the soul master world.

The Elite Tournament is the largest soul master competition in the continent.

In the first game of the qualifiers, these blacksmiths heard that there was a soul emperor with the fourth soul ring of 10,000 years in the elite competition.

After a few months of competition, the strength of this Soul Emperor actually caused the Wuhun Hall to temporarily change the competition system, and added a new restriction to the contestants in the future elite competitions: soul masters whose soul power has reached level 60 or above, regardless of whether they have obtained the sixth soul ring or not, regardless of age or not, are not allowed to participate.

Sonorous.

A steady stream of metallic noises emanated from the blacksmith's shop, where about ten blacksmiths were working on weapons and armor in front of their respective stoves.

After work, the blacksmiths talk and laugh, although it is hard, but they also enjoy it.

A middle-aged blacksmith in bib pants wielded a forging hammer and swung it several times in succession, smashing the fine iron on the stove six times, with a sonorous sound of metal and sparks flying.

Another blacksmith put down the hammer in his hand and wiped his sweat.

"Hey, did you hear that? The Elite is coming to an end tomorrow. It is said that the format will be changed to a melee, and the winner will be determined. Back then, when Lao Tzu participated in the elite competition, he was a thirty-seventh-level soul venerable. In the qualifiers, I defeated several opponents who claimed to be geniuses, and I also studied the format of the tournament very thoroughly, but this melee format was the first time I had heard of it. ”

"Lao Huang, although we are from soul masters, we have never participated, tell us, what is this melee system?"

The blacksmith named Lao Huang thought for a while and responded: "Just like our blacksmith assessment, the blacksmiths who participate in the assessment compete on the same stage, and whoever has higher forging skills will win." However, we only need to meet the fixed requirements in the blacksmith assessment to get the blacksmith rank promotion. In the melee of the elite competition, only one team should be able to win the final victory. ”

"I see." The middle-aged blacksmith in suspender pants put down the forging hammer and said with a smile: "It's like looking for fine iron in a pile of scrap iron." Which piece of scrap iron can be tempered into fine iron, then which piece of scrap iron will be left. Other scrap iron is simply discarded. ”

Lao Huang took a big sip of water and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, that's it." ”

"I've also heard that the melee format is for Lu Bad. Otherwise, you can't fight, twenty-year-old Soul Emperor. How can this make that group of twenty-year-old players who may not even be a soul sect fight? ”

"Alas, the soul master world is really full of talents. It is said that in addition to Lu Wei, the soul emperor, among the contestants of the Soul Hall Academy, there are also three soul kings. Back then, when Lao Tzu participated in the elite competition, the player with the highest soul power was only level forty-nine. How can it be so perverted now. ”

"Now that the soul master's cultivation resources are good, his strength will naturally go up, how can he be like us blacksmiths. You have to find your own forging materials and everything. And there aren't many avenues for acquisition. Except for our Gengxin City, there are basically no places where you can find rare forging materials. ”

"Yes, who makes the soul master the most noble profession, and the blacksmith profession has a hard life. I should have listened to my mother's persuasion to enter the Advanced Soul Master Academy to study, why did I have to follow my father to become a blacksmith. As a result, his current strength as a soul master is not strong, and his forging level can only be a blacksmith master. Neither side can get any benefit. ”

At this moment, Tang Hao and Tang San's father and son passed by this blacksmith shop.

Listening to the conversation between several blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop just now, Tang San roughly guessed that Shrek Academy had been eliminated and missed the finals.

Lu Bad is so strong that he temporarily changed the competition system for the finals?

Now every city on the mainland can hear Lu Wei's prestige, as well as its own notoriety.

Thinking of this, Tang San was already gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, originally thinking that after the Blue Silver King helped him awaken the Blue Silver Emperor's martial spirit, he would secretly return to Shrek Academy, participate in the finals with his partners, and win back the championship for Shrek Academy.

But he never thought that the damn Blue Silver King not only didn't help him awaken the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, but also devoured his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.

Now that Tang San had completely lost his mother's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul bloodline, his appearance and figure had become the same as his father's, like a rough man, his broken body could easily collapse, giving people a feeling of premature aging, and outsiders couldn't tell that he was only fourteen years old.

Tang Hao said lightly: "Little San, hurry up." Not far from the central bazaar. That's where all blacksmiths do their trades, forging materials are far rarer than soul masters' cultivation resources, take a slow step, maybe what you want will be bought. ”

Hearing his father's urging, Tang San, who was following behind, quickened his pace, ran to his father's side, and asked, "Dad." Does Geng Xincheng really have the materials needed for hidden weapons? ”

Tang Hao shook his head, "Geng Xincheng is known as the metal capital and a gathering place for blacksmiths. Most of the finest and rarest forging materials are produced in this city. If there isn't one here, then there shouldn't be any other cities. Don't talk nonsense. Hurry up. ”

Since separating from Shrek's partners, Tang San has been with Tang Hao.

A lot of things happened to the father and son, first Tang San mistakenly ate his mother, and then Tang Hao was psychologically ill and hallucinated due to mixed poison, mistaking Tang San for his wife, and he was furious, and he ruthlessly vented his longing for his wife on Tang San.

However, Tang Hao didn't have that memory, he didn't know that he had done such a thing to his son, and Tang San didn't know that the special blue silver grass he ate was his mother, so he could live together like a normal father and son.

The Dark Blue Silver King drained the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline from Tang San's body, which shattered Tang San's hope of becoming stronger, and now it is impossible to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor's martial soul, and the Haotian Hammer has become a waste martial soul Hao Tianzhu, the only way he can think of to become stronger is to specialize in the Tang Sect's peerless science and the Tang Sect's secret weapon.

Crafting a peerless secret weapon was the only means that Tang San could currently improve his strength.

Fortunately, his father is not only the world-famous Haotian Douluo, but also a famous craftsman.

With his father's help, Tang San firmly believed that he would definitely be able to make the peerless secret weapon of the Tang Sect!

The recipes for crafting the hidden weapon have been redrawn, and now all that needs to be done is to collect the forging materials needed for the hidden weapon.

Tang San secretly made up his mind that after developing countless Tang Sect secret weapons, he must go back to Shrek Academy, I don't know what happened to his partners?

Xiao Wu, where are you now? How are you doing?

No matter where you are, when I have the ability to protect you, I will go to you!

Geng New City, located in the territory of the Star Luo Empire, is the only metal capital in the whole continent known for its metal.

With a large amount of rare metal production here, it is a must-go place to buy all kinds of forging materials.

Tang San never expected that there would be such a convenient city for blacksmiths in the Douluo Continent, according to his father, the best and rare forging materials basically came from this city.

The Blacksmith Association, whose status in the blacksmith world is comparable to that of the Wuhun Palace, is located in the central area of Gengxin City, where a large number of outstanding blacksmiths are gathered.

For the purpose of this trip, Tang Hao wanted to take Tang San to every mall or shop that sold forging materials in Gengxin City, collect all the forging materials needed, and then invite the blacksmiths of the Blacksmith Association to make parts of hidden weapons together in the name of the divine craftsman.

Tang San was responsible for the final assembly, so he didn't have to worry about being stolen by the blacksmith to learn how to make the hidden weapon.

However, after the Blue Silver King devoured Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, Tang San's Ring Soul Guide was also gone, and before buying forging materials, Tang Hao had to buy one for Tang San or grab a high-quality soul guide that could store a large amount of forging materials.

But after all, this is Gengxin City, and it is all a blacksmith business, how can there be any high-quality soul guides for sale?

In desperation, Tang Hao used strong means to buy a rich man's two ring soul guides for Tang San to use.

Tang San put these two ring soul guides on the index finger and middle finger of his left hand respectively, and with just a slight touch of his thumb, he could take out what he wanted from them as soon as possible. In the future, the hidden weapon will be stored in the ring of the index finger, and the forging material will be in the ring worn on the middle finger.

After having the storage soul guide, Tang Hao took Tang San to the largest mall in Gengxin City, called the Metal Mall.

Walking into the mall, Tang San immediately smelled the smell of all kinds of metal, which was not unfamiliar to him, a person who had lived in a blacksmith shop since he was a child, but reminded him of his life of striking iron with his father when he was a child.

Tang San thought to himself, if he wasn't a soul master, if his father wasn't Haotian Douluo, how good it would be, and he would spend the rest of his life as an ordinary blacksmith in the Holy Soul Village. No, if that's the case, I won't be able to touch Xiao Wu and Shrek's friends!

Tang Hao took Tang San to a shop that sold all kinds of metal materials, but the store was empty, and it didn't look like a business at all.

Tang San looked at all the empty boxes that were placed in confusion, and said curiously: "Shopkeeper, may I ask, are you selling metal materials here?" ”

"Yes. But it's sold out now. The shopkeeper replied.

"Sold out?" Tang San was puzzled, "Your shop is not small. Could it be that all the metal materials sold have been taken away? ”

"Yes. It's not just me. In the entire metal mall, all the forging materials have been bought. The shopkeeper said while closing the stall: "I advise you two to go to other malls to have a look, if you take a slow step, maybe the forging materials of other malls will be covered again." ”

Tang San glanced at his father, and Tang Hao was expressionless.

"The shopkeeper. Who bought the materials from the entire mall? Tang San said thoughtfully: "This should be a lot of expenses, right?" Could it be the Blacksmiths' Guild? ”

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively, "It's Lord Silong from the Blacksmith Guild, who brought a black-haired young man over to buy materials." It is said that the black-haired young man is a local tyrant who came from Heaven Dou City. He is indeed a local tyrant, he can buy all the forging materials in the metal mall, what is it if he is not a local tyrant? Anyway, the boss of the entire mall made a lot of money today. ”

"From Heaven Dou City, black-haired youth?" Perhaps it was a psychological shadow, and Tang San's mind immediately appeared with Lu Wei's appearance.

However, Lu Wei's strength is so strong, he should spend most of his time in cultivation in a day, and he doesn't spare time to prepare antidotes and poisons like himself, and make all kinds of Tang Sect secret weapons.

Therefore, Tang San thought that Lu Wei was not excellent in other aspects except for fighting, how could he be as proficient in alchemy, poison making and forging as himself?

Lu Hao doesn't know how to forge, so what is the purpose of buying these forging materials?

Is it to get ahead of yourself and snatch what you want in advance?

Although Tang San had a great deal of hostility towards Lu Bad, he knew that Lu Bad was a very self-motivated person, and it was better to spend more time on cultivation than to do such a boring thing.

Moreover, how did Lu Hao know that he wanted to collect forging materials to make the secret weapon of the Tang Sect?

How could Lu Bad, who was competing in Wuhun City, suddenly appear in Gengxin City?

Thinking of this, the doubts in Tang San's heart were eliminated, maybe a certain merchant in Heaven Dou City had discovered a business opportunity, so he came to Gengxin City, bought the metal materials in the city, and then sold them at a high price.

"Dad, why don't we take a look at the nearby store?" Tang San looked at Tang Hao.

"Let's go to the Blacksmiths' Guild. If you want any materials, just look for the height of the building. If he doesn't give it, let him suffer a little. As he spoke, Tang Hao turned around and left.

Tang San followed closely. He remembered that his father had said that Lou Gao was the president of the Blacksmiths Guild and one of the three divine craftsmen on the continent today.

“.”

Geng Xincheng, a shop that sells forging materials.

A middle-aged man in heavy armor and a black-haired young man were at the door of the store, and it was these two who bought all the metal materials in the metal mall.

The middle-aged man's name is Silong, and he is one of the personal disciples of Lou Gao, the president of the Blacksmith Association, and the black-haired young man is Lu Wei.

After the one-on-one knockout round changed the melee format, the final melee of the finals will start tomorrow.

During this time, Lu Wei did not go to the worship hall with Qianrenxue to double cultivate, but took advantage of his leisure time to use space to teleport to Gengxin City.

When he instructed the Dark Blue Silver King to drain the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline in Tang San's body, he took Tang San's Ring Soul Guide away by the way.

It was also at that time that Lu Hao obtained Tang San's twenty drawings for the production of hidden weapons.

He wanted to make these Tangmen secret weapons and use them for the Ghost Shadow Corps, which could greatly improve the combat ability of each Ghost Shadow Soldier.

Lu Wei came to Geng New City for two purposes.

First, purchase the forging materials from every shop in Gengxin City, and use them to make the best armor and Tangmen secret weapons needed to fight various ghost soldiers in the future.

Second, go to a cemetery in Gengxin Town, where there is a church-like building called the Tomb Hall, also known as the Mourning Hall.

In the blacksmith world, the status of the tomb hall is equal to that of the Douluo Palace, and the outstanding blacksmiths of the past generations of blacksmiths are buried below.

Among them were three god-level deceased, and there were many blacksmiths who developed peerless weapons, all of whom were the pride of the blacksmith world and had made great contributions to the military weapons of the empire.

After purchasing the forging materials, Lu Hao will use spatial teleportation to sneak under the tomb, seal all the shadows of the buried blacksmith's corpses into the shadow tomb realm, and then select the best blacksmith among them as the black shadow general, and create the Shadow Craftsman Troupe.
