Chapter 1141: Let Me Try
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The conflict here attracted the attention of many people. More people gathered around, and Wu Qingquan’s expression changed.
He stared at Ou Yangming with a sharp gaze and shouted coldly, “If you don’t give a reasonable explanation today, don’t think about leaving.”
Ou Yangming’s expression did not change, and he said leisurely, “Didn’t I tell you already? The explanation is very simple. As long as you give me a portion of the materials, I’ll use them to refine another armor. If the one I smith is of a much higher level than yours, I believe everyone will understand what’s going on.”
As soon as Ou Yangming said that, the crowd was in an uproar. ‘Is this young man a blacksmith? Where did he get the courage to say such a thing?’
Moreover, could a magic weapon be forged by an ordinary blacksmith? Everyone thought that he was too impulsive.
“Are you saying that you’ll smith a magic weapon using only a set of materials?” Wu Qingquan had an incredulous expression on his face, and he laughed out loud.
.
Could armors be smithed easily?
He had failed twice and in the end, he had to resort to trickery to preserve his reputation. To him, this young fellow’s words were nothing but a joke.
“Yes.” Ou Yangming raised his head and looked straight at the so-called master with a slight smile on his face. “I wonder if you have the guts to let me try, Master Wu?”
Wu Qingquan’s eyes were sharp. “What if you fail? These materials are very precious. Even if I sold you, it won’t be enough.”
“I’m not that cheap.” Ou Yangming chuckled. “How about this? If I fail, I’ll apologize to you and let you do whatever you want with me. How about that?”
Failure? Failure was impossible. It was impossible for him to fail in this lifetime. As a blacksmith master, Ou Yangming had the top-tier Heavenly Phoenix Fire with him. There was absolutely no way he would fail to smith such a small magic weapon.
The surrounding people were shocked by Ou Yangming. This young fellow was too confident. Was he the legendary example of the young were fearless?
“Master Wu, give him a set and let him try. He’ll then understand that it’s not that easy to smith a magic weapon.”
“Master Wu, in order to prove your innocence.”
A few people who were on good terms with Wu Qingquan shouted.
Wu Qingquan looked hesitant. He knew that there was no way out at this time. It was fine if this young fellow failed to refine a magic weapon but if he was lucky enough to succeed… Wu Qingquan did not want to see that kind of result.
“Could it be that I’ve been fooled by him?”
Wu Qingquan glanced at Ou Yangming. He did not see the slightest bit of timidity from this young fellow.
‘This fella’s deliberately making a fool of me. If I don’t let him smith, I’m afraid that everyone will think that I’ve tricked my customers. In the future, fewer people will want me to smith items for them.”
After being persuaded again, Wu Qingquan’s face flashed with a ferocious look. He stared at Ou Yangming and said, “Good fella, you said it yourself. There’s only one set of materials. If you fail, don’t blame me for being rude.”
“Okay, okay.”
Ou Yangming’s expression did not change.
Wu Qingquan took out a set of materials from his interspatial bag. After removing 3 sets of materials, there were 6 sets left. It was not a big deal to waste another set.
As for the materials, Wu Qingquan did not dare to act recklessly because everyone could see it clearly.
Ou Yangming looked at the materials on the ground and raised his head. “Shouldn’t you give way, Master Wu?”
Wu Qingquan’s face darkened. He left from his position. Smithing required a smithing table so that the success rate could be guaranteed.
Ou Yangming stepped forward. Facing the countless gazes below, he was calm.
The integration of Heaven and man!
As Ou Yangming picked up the materials on the ground, he entered this state. He did not take low-level armor to heart, but he was always serious about smithing. This was the instinct of a blacksmith.
When the people below saw that Ou Yangming was completely focused, they had a few misconceptions. ‘Is he really a blacksmith master?’
Wu Qingquan turned pale when he saw Ou Yangming’s condition. His eyes were filled with worry. Only he could tell that the young fellow was already in the state of the integration between Heaven and man. This was the most perfect state of a blacksmith master.
This kind of state could only be encountered by chance. Wu Qingquan had only encountered it a few times. During those times, he had performed exceptionally, which was how he became famous.
What made Wu Qingquan afraid was that this young fellow seemed to have the ability to enter this kind of state at any time.
On the other hand, Ou Yangming had begun to make his move.
The purple fire in his hand danced in the air, and the temperature in the surroundings rose. Those who were close to him hurriedly dispersed and looked at the fire with shock in their eyes.
When Wu Qingquan was smithing just now, no one had such a feeling. This young fellow’s natal fire was so powerful.
As soon as the natal fire appeared, Ou Yangming’s identity as a blacksmith was confirmed. What everyone was concerned about at this moment was whether he could smith the armor. If he really could, there would be a good show to watch.
Many people glanced at Wu Qingquan. Everyone respected him mainly because of his status as a blacksmith master.
As for his strength, there were many people in the East City Square who were stronger than him.
When an expert made a move, one would know if he was a true expert. Ou Yangming was very fast. He did not have exaggerated actions like Wu Qingquan. Every step was steady and smooth. He was comfortable to watch.
After an hour, the armor was finished. Ou Yangming opened a few grooves on it and embedded all the gemstones into it.
Once the gemstones were embedded, the armor shimmered as if it was covered with a layer of jewelry. Ou Yangming clapped his hands and stood up.
It was quiet all around. After a while, someone spoke.
“He succeeded?”
The armor placed on the smithing table was naturally a success. Even the people in the distance could see it clearly. This armor was completely different from the one that Master Wu had smithed previously. It was luxurious and gorgeous, just like the difference between a noble and a commoner.
“It’s too powerful. I have a feeling that the rank of this armor isn’t low.”
“Of course! He has such amazing smithing skills at such a young age. Which family is this genius from?”
“This magic weapon can’t be of Common Grade Rank One no matter what. I wonder what Wu Qingquan will say. I was wondering why his skills were different the last time. It turns out that he was really up to something…”
The armor had been successfully smithed. The only thing missing at the moment was the appraisal. Ou Yangming scanned the armor, and its quality appeared in his mind.
[Item: Propitious Gold Armor]
[Equivalent Rank: Magic Weapon, Good Grade, Rank Three]
[Attributes: Defense +55, Strength +6, Agility +2, Durability 50]
[Skill: Holy Light Fusion (Can be used once a month. Covers the armor with a layer of defensive holy light. After the holy light is used, it will automatically recharge.)]
Ou Yangming slowly announced the results of the appraisal. The expressions of the people around him changed greatly, and Wu Qingquan also had a look of disbelief on his face.
A Good Grade magic weapon, and it was of Rank Three. This was too exaggerated.
Even if the magic weapon was of a higher rank than that of Wu Qingquan, everyone thought that it would at most be of Common Grade Rank Three. No one thought that it would be a Good Grade magic weapon and even have a special skill.
“The magic weapon’s here. You can appraise it yourselves,” Ou Yangming said nonchalantly.
Appraisal Art was a very simple art. Blacksmiths were not the only ones who could master it. As long as one’s mental power was good, one could practice it. In the Great Wide World, Appraisal Art was almost universal.
No one wanted to buy items without knowing what their ranks were. Furthermore, it was very easy for a powerhouse in the Great Wide World to learn the art.
“Let me take a look at it.”
A middle-aged man in a golden robe walked over. His aura was steady. He was a Ruler.
While a Ruler was nothing much in the heart of origins, it was very rare in the Great Wide World. Even an ordinary Ruler was a supreme powerhouse here.
Rulers would not need to show Wu Qingquan any face at all. They did not lack money, nor did they need those low-level magic weapons.
An Appraisal Light flashed, the golden-robed elder’s eyes were filled with disbelief. This armor was exactly the same as what the young fellow had said.
After a while, the golden-robed middle-aged man reluctantly withdrew his gaze. “Not bad, it’s indeed a Good Grade Rank Three magic weapon, and it also has a special skill.”
‘It’s indeed a Good Grade Rank Three magic weapon!’
‘This young fella’s too terrifying. When did the Hidden Dragons Island have such a powerful smithing master?’
As long as one could smith a Common Grade magic weapon, one could become an Advanced Blacksmith. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ou Yangming had smithed a Good Grade magic weapon, which probably surpassed an Advanced Blacksmith.
“Impossible, impossible.” Wu Qingquan did not dare to believe it.
If this magic weapon was of Common Grade Rank Three, he could still accept it. After all, he could see that this young fellow’s smithing skills were not inferior to his. However, the quality of the magic weapon was too exaggerated.
His Appraisal Light flashed.
Wu Qingquan’s face was ashen. His expression also helped everyone confirm the result once again.
The yellow-robed middle-aged man looked at Ou Yangming and asked, “May I know your name, master?”
“Ou Yangming,” Ou Yangming said his name indifferently. His gaze shifted to Wu Qingquan again as he asked, “What else do you have to quibble about now?”
The truth was clear to see. The materials could be used to refine a Good Grade Rank Three magic weapon but due to Wu Qingquan’s selfishness, they were made into a Common Grade Rank One magic weapon.
“I didn’t expect Master Wu to be such a person. To think that I respected him so much before this,” someone said angrily.
“A merchant from the 10,000 Treasures Pavilion. Do you expect him to care about the morals in the trade? Such a person only cares about his interests. It doesn’t matter how hard we search for materials.”
“Despicable! How despicable!”
“We must make him pay!”
