These days, Lu An has been staying in the blacksmith shop honestly, never going out once, and experiencing this new surprise wholeheartedly.

Even Xia Luo was confined by Old Man Yao, so he was not allowed to go out and practice honestly, striving to make a big splash in this competition.

After reading it, Lianxi said: "Boy Xia has been so miserable these days. He has to practice until late at night every day. Then he was woken up again at dawn in the morning. He was beaten when he was lazy and lost twice. Old Man Yao is really cruel."

After hearing this, Lu An disagreed. If there was no benefit, Xia Luo would listen to Old Man Yao so honestly? He wouldn't believe it if he beat him to death. According to common sense, Xia Luo would have run away long ago.

Fortunately, this kind of life ended in only 3 days, and on this day, the craftsman competition officially began.

Xia Luo ran to the blacksmith shop early in the morning. When he saw Lu An, he was crying and grabbed Lu An and refused to let go.

Lu An saw that Xia Luo had lost weight a little, and even his skin color became a little darker, and asked, "I heard that your life is fulfilling in these three days?"

When Xia Luo heard this, tears immediately came to tears, "These days, Old Man Yao is simply not a human being. He has stared at me for three days without sleep, and has not let go of a single thing. He made me toss the pile of broken iron from morning to night, and even stood beside me when I was eating, sleeping, and shit, for fear that I would run away. I am really worse than death in these days."

Lu Anhe, who was standing beside him, understood that when they heard this, their faces changed immediately. They understood that they clasped their fists at Old Man Yao behind them, "Old Man Yao, this move is really powerful, I admire you."

Old Man Yao replied with a pair of big dark circles on his eyes: "There is no way. If the apprentice is not good, then the master can only find a way to make him compete for it. It's worth it."

Lu An patted Xia Luo on the shoulder, with an expression of asking for blessings in the future, and then packed up his things. Under the urging of Old Man Yao, the four of them rushed straight to the destination, the Craftsman Union.

When the four arrived, they found that they were still early, and there were not many people, and they were sparse.

This is the first time Lu An has been inside the union. The door outside looks small, but the square after entering is a bit too big? Now there are stoves here. Lu An roughly counts at least 200, but unexpectedly, there are more than 200 people coming to participate today.

Lu An sighed on the side, while Old Man Yao on the other side complained, "Why are there such a few people this year? Alas, it's really worse than the next generation."

"Indeed, there are a little fewer people this year. There were at least a thousand people in the year I participated, but now there are only more than two hundred." Mingdi also responded.

The two old men began to sigh at the past again, and the two little ones looked at each other in front of them.

In a short while, the stands around the square were already crowded, full of people, noisy and noisy. Fortunately, the most basic order is still there, and of course it may have something to do with the entire four masters in the sky. Jiangcheng still attaches great importance to this competition. Although Yu Wenyuan said it in a bad way, the City Lord's Mansion still gave great respect and help from the trade union.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a big belly slowly walked to the center of the square, coughed lightly, and then said, "Quiet." This sound directly overwhelmed everyone's voice, and the entire square suddenly became silent.

Lu An couldn't help but sigh: "This big fat man is so powerful that he shocked everyone with one move."

Understand it was sarcastic: "It's just a fool, I'll just scare children like you."

"Isn't this awesome?" Xia Luo also looked shocked in front of him.

"Is this awesome? Tian Man has been a loud voice since he was a child, so there is nothing strange about it." Old Man Yao said.

"Tian Man?" Lu An asked.

"It's the fat man below, the current union president, who is lazy every day and can feel annoyed." Old Man Yao said contemptuously.

"You know, among those people, he has a better vision and can see clearly, and the union will be supported by him. Otherwise, your union would have collapsed long ago, and the others are all a bunch of candids, only knowing to cause trouble and fight for power, especially the one who died two days ago, who has no ability, has a great appetite, and deserves it." He retorted clearly.

Old Man Yao, you said a few times, your face turned red, but you didn't say a word or a third. Maybe he knew that this was the case in his heart, but he was unwilling to admit that the place where he had been there for decades was almost empty by others, and he had no choice.

Lu An watched the two of them compete and vaguely felt that he should have known some things, but he just didn't say them out.

The two old men below were so excited that the union president in the center of the square was also spitting out loud. It was nothing more than a bunch of polite words. Welcome everyone, the name of the craftsman city is famous for you, and I hope that everyone participating in the competition can have a good result, so on.

Lu An yawned while listening, and finally finished speaking, and the next thing was the main thing.

Tian Man smiled and said, "This time, 254 colleagues participated in the registration. There are three competitions in this craftsman competition. After today's competition, 50 people will be selected. The second game tomorrow will be selected. 10 people will be selected to enter the last game. The last 10 people will be awarded the title of craftsman. On the last day, they will compete for the top three. The top three can be awarded the title of craftsman and a gift prepared by the union, 100 kilograms of cold sand iron, 100 spiritual crystals, and a top-level earth martial arts or martial arts treasured by the union. Finally, the top spot in this competition can also enter the arsenal of the City Lord's Mansion to select something."

As soon as they finished speaking, the people in the audience suddenly became jubilant. This reward was still very attractive to them.

After hearing this reward, Lu An turned his head and looked at him to understand.

He clearly said to Lu An: "Hansha iron is good. This thing is a valuable thing, similar to Mo iron. Of course, the hundred spirit crystals are not taken in vain. The last thing depends on your favorite thing. However, there is no valuable item in this union, and it doesn't matter whether you go or not. However, there are more good things in the city lord's mansion, so you have to work hard and strive for the first place. Today is the first day. Don't be too outstanding, just perform normally."

Lu An nodded in confusion. After thinking about it carefully, it made sense. There are so many people here, too outstanding, and there will always be some strange eyes staring at him. At that time, there may be some people in trouble.

At this moment, Sharo pulled himself away, saying that he was about to start, and then gave a sign to Lu An and said, "This is the number I took when I registered for you. You are 72 and I am 71. I should be next door to you, just take the number and find the corresponding stove."

Lu An nodded and searched all the way. After a while, Xia Luo also found his own stove next to Lu An, and then started to make a fuss.

To be honest, Lu An has never seen others forging weapons throughout the whole process. From the time he came into contact, Lu An has been working alone. There has always been a master around him to guide him, so he didn't think about going out to steal the stolen skills. But now there are so many people who can peek at it, which seems to be quite good.

Lu An looked around and was startled. All kinds of different outfits were placed on it. Forging was nothing more than a few elements, such as smelting, forging, quenching, and grinding. Every step here has different schools, and the methods used are also different. Here we were given a stove and some of the most basic things. To create better weapons, it is definitely not enough to rely on these alone. The necessary assistance is also very important. Then Lu An saw all kinds of things placed on the stage, such as giant hammers, mini hammers, all kinds of messy powders, and even pills. Finally, there were all kinds of water used for quenching, which made Lu An's eyes straight.

Turning his head and looking at Sharo, it was normal. There was nothing else except a hammer and a bag of powder. Sharo saw Lu An looking around, then staring at himself, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Lu An shook his head, then pointed his finger around. Xia Luo looked over, as if he had never seen the world before, with his big eyes glaring, strange and novel.

I understood that seeing his apprentice in the stands with Old Man Yao, I saw that his apprentice was like this. He looked like a country bumpkin came into the city and couldn't help but cover his forehead, which was embarrassing.

Fortunately, this lasted for a while, and a gong sounded, and it officially began.

Suddenly, the people who were still bustling just now became quiet, leaving only the burning sound of flames burning. Lu An even saw many people directly using true energy to calcinate, which is said to save a lot of time.

The materials used in this game are relatively common black iron, which is characterized by a lot of impurities. If the forging is not enough, it will not be tough enough and it is very easy to break. However, if the forging is good enough, it is also a good weapon. The one Hu Yong gave to Lu An before was made of black iron, which looks very good, but unfortunately it disappeared when he was in Cha County.

Lu An didn't know much about Black Iron, so he would definitely not be stupid enough to use true energy to calcinate it. It is unnecessary to save such a little time, so he should just follow the steps and not be the one who stands out.

While burning the iron, Lu An began to look around again and found that Xia Luo was adding something to the black iron. He couldn't help but wonder what he had added. He just wanted to ask, and when he saw this thing add in, the flames burst out. Xia Luo looked frightened. He didn't know why this happened. This scene instantly attracted everyone's eyes. Several people around him couldn't help but mocked: "People who can't even use cold flame powder come to participate in the competition?"

When Lu An heard this, he asked curiously: "What is cold flame powder?"

As soon as this question was asked, everyone looked at Lu An with contempt, "I don't even know this thing but I have the courage to come. This thing is used to help burn, which can make the materials heat up faster, and can also be used to make fire, alchemy, arrange arrays, etc. It is a very practical thing."

Lu An suddenly realized when he heard this, while Xia Luo on the other side was still frightened. Why is this situation different from usual? It has also been added, but how could he have such a big reaction?

Old Man Yao in the stands looked speechless, "The most time he asked him to practice, he would use meteorite iron the most. If he had to replace it with black iron, he wouldn't know how to do it? He can't even master the dosage?"

I understood and kept watching, "I was rich and powerful, but I just accepted a stupid apprentice."

Everyone was tossed by Xia Luo, and his eyes were shifted. After a while of mocking, he accidentally turned to Lu An next to him and found that the man was burning iron with a low fire, and he didn't use other things to burn iron. He felt inexplicably surprised. One was rich and the cold flame powder was sprinkled around, while the other was squeezing, waiting to burn iron. Both were strange.

Lu An realized that others had turned his eyes to him, and looked strange. He didn't know what the situation was now, and why even he despised him.

The people in the stands began to discuss the two strange combinations, and just like that, they did nothing. Lu An and Xia Luo became so famous, and they understood that they were speechless with Old Man Yao.

After a while, everyone was already forged. The whole square was jingling and jingling, but Lu An was still standing stupidly, just so out of place.

It doesn’t matter to Lu An. At this time, you can observe other people’s forging methods and enjoy it.

Old Man Yao said to Mingdi: "Is Xiao An too leisurely?"

If you understand, you replied disapprovingly: "You don't understand. Only a real genius will not pay attention to external things. Just look at it honestly. My apprentice is much better than your apprentice."

Old man Yao was choked again.

After watching for a while, Lu An found that Xia Luo had not started to forge and was still burning iron. However, he was obviously different from his stupidity. Xia Luo was concentrating on controlling the fire. The flames that were still running around in front of him have now turned blue, burning obediently on Xia Luo's hands. The black iron had already been burned white by the blue fire, and it looked very strange. Maybe this is the advantage brought by the natural fire. Old man Yao once mentioned that the advantages of natural fire are one smelting, one forging, one quenching, and one forming.

Lu An looked at his black iron, and it finally turned red at this moment. After looking around, he found that many people had been forged and moved their bodies, so he should start.

I understood that seeing Lu An began to move his body, I quickly said to Old Man Yao: "Look at it well, there will be a good show soon."

Not only did Old Man Yao notice Lu An's actions, but everyone in the stands saw this scene. Everyone was curious about this boy who had been standing stupid for almost an hour. He had been quiet for so long, and now he was planning to make some noise.

Lu An put the burned iron on the anvil, then a thin layer of light golden mist condensed on his right hand, and then directly placed his hand on the red black iron. The golden light then entered the black iron. Closed his eyes. After a while, the Five Elements Art condensed all the impurities in it. The current black iron can be regarded as a piece of pure black iron. Lu An took a light breath and his hand returned to its original state.

After that, Lu An picked up the hammer and started his forging. In this way, he forged it, twice, three times, and then he was directly forged into a sword, without any delay. Lu An took a look and looked pretty good, and he couldn't help but nodded.

Then there was quenching, which was used to prepare ordinary things prepared by the union. After the quenching, the sword made of black iron had been formed, and then it was simply polished. It was exactly the same as the one I used before. The sword body was a bit black overall, and the smooth sword body emitted a dark light with its own dark iron. The slender sword body made people feel particularly heavy. I gently flicked it with my fingers, and the light sound of the sword followed, filling the entire square, and everyone couldn't help but look at it.

"Did you see it? This kid actually took shape at once, and he used to forge it much faster than others, and it was simple and efficient."

"This is too fast. It was the slowest just now, but now it is the first one to complete it!"

"Did this man deliberately make such a gimmick and be fooling people?"

"I think it may be a gimmick, looking like a fool, but now it's done so quickly. It's just a third-rate product that only seeks speed but not quality."

There was a burst of discussion in the stands.

I understand and smiled proudly at Old Man Yao and said, "Did you see it?"

"Hmph, Xia Luo is done too." Old Man Yao said dissatisfied.

After Lu An finished, Xia Luo also completed it. A knife made of black iron, with a faint light flashing and awesome spirit. The two looked at each other and smiled.
Chapter completed!
