Douluo's hammer can be upgraded

The headquarters of the Blacksmiths Association is an extremely huge building, with five floors and at least 30 meters high, covering a very large area.The building has no decoration and is very rough. There is only a dark iron plaque directly above the building with no words written on it. There are only two raised images of a hammer and a chisel.

Unlike the solemn Wuhun Palace or the majestic City Lord's Mansion, the Blacksmith Association headquarters has three open doors and no guards. There is an endless flow of people coming and going, and there is a bustling crowd inside and outside.There are mineral dealers who come to sell metals and are dressed in luxurious clothes. There are also blacksmiths wearing work clothes holding hammers. There are village elders and grandfathers who bring villagers with their hands behind their backs to wholesale farm tools. There are also lower-level souls wearing hoods who come to choose weapons and armor. division.

This is a very down-to-earth, lively place.

Entering the building, the noise is even louder. Although it is known as the headquarters of the Blacksmiths Association, this floor is actually equivalent to a large vegetable market, where vendors and customers are busy haggling over prices as far as the eye can see.The only difference is probably that they trade raw metals and finished products.

Armor, swords, kitchen knives, farm tools... Ishino even saw something similar in shape to a toilet. It is said to be a new product launched this year and is widely welcomed by nobles from all over the world.

When we came to the stairs on the first and second floors, there were no guards set up, perhaps because no one from Wuhun Palace had come to cause trouble yet.

The second floor is the high-end trading area, which is much quieter and has the style of a home appliance store in the past.Ishino even saw a short, fat businessman wearing gold and silver and a long robe holding a gold-inlaid and silver-inlaid plus flagship version of the toilet and looking at it carefully.

"Is it very profitable to do this thing?" Ishino couldn't help but murmur in his heart, should he get involved if he is short of money in the future?If he really wanted to do it, he had absolute confidence that this ancient version of the primitive toilet would never be a match for the modern toilet he had made.

Well, in the future, you can also directly ask Shrek Seven Monsters for endorsement - "Shrek's flush toilet will give you a monster-level unobstructed defecation feeling."

A guard finally appeared at the stairs leading to the third floor. If he remembered correctly, this floor should be the blacksmith registration assessment area.

"The third floor and above are not open to the general public, please come back." The burly guard stretched out his hand to stop Ishino.Judging from the aura fluctuations around him, he is probably a Yazi of more than ten levels, but the armor on his body is very sophisticated, obviously not ordinary.

It seems that when Tang San came in the later period, the Blacksmith Association's arrangement of frequently having people in their 30s, 50s, and 70s as guards was a special situation in a special period.Otherwise, our dignified master Su Yuntao is not even qualified to guard the stairs on the second floor of this blacksmith association, and then the influence of this blacksmith association will not be limited to Gengxin City.

Ishino clasped his fists and saluted, "I'm here to register for blacksmith qualifications and conduct a rating assessment."

"You?" The guard looked at Ishino with a strange expression. Although he was tall and burly, his face still had a childish look, and he didn't look like he was too old. "Boy, practice for a few more years before you come back." Well, we only accept the qualification assessment of the lowest senior blacksmith here, and those below the senior level are not allowed to come. The registration fee is 5 gold soul coins, and there will be no refund if you fail the assessment."

If it were in other places, a high-speed blacksmith might be a rare expert in a city, but the Blacksmiths Association in Gengxin City was just a starting point.

"Thank you for your kindness, uncle, but I still plan to try it now." Ishino smiled, channeled his soul power, and a faint halo appeared on his hands, "I am also a soul master."

If it was before, he might have summoned the martial spirit directly without even thinking about it.

The guard was stunned. Indeed, the better the blacksmith, the more likely he is a soul master.Because only the soul master's own ability far beyond ordinary people can make the casting more sophisticated.

For an average person to reach the level of a senior blacksmith, it takes at least 15 years of hard work and a certain amount of talent.And if it's a soul master, it's really hard to say.

But at this moment, a loud voice came from below, "Humph, so what about the soul master? Do you think that being a soul master can easily pass our blacksmith test? Boy, I see you don't even have calluses on your hands, you know how? Can you hold a hammer?"

Ishino turned around and saw that no one was there?Lowering his head again, he saw that the person who made the noise was the pudgy businessman who was holding the golden toilet and looking at it.

At this moment, he was holding the golden toilet with one hand and the other on his waist, looking at Ishino with disdain.Looking at this person who is 1.6 meters tall and 1.6 meters wide, with windy ears and small eyes, Ishino feels that he looks familiar inexplicably.

Behind him, the guard had bent down deeply, "Hello, President!"

President?

Ishiye instantly remembered the identity of this man, but he didn't expect that this little old man was the legendary craftsman Lou Gao?

After thinking about it, Ishino saluted, "Hello, Senior Lou Gao."

Lou Gao's expression softened slightly, but he still said impatiently: "Boy, I see you still know some etiquette, so I won't coax you to leave. Go home by yourself. Remember, our blacksmith's skills are not that simple. Yes. It’s not that you become a soul master and you can become a good blacksmith just by swinging a hammer."

"Is it difficult?" Ishino subconsciously scratched his head. After all, the amazing continuous casting skills and the random cloak hammering technique are just a means of leveraging force. "I feel that my forging skills are quite high?

As for calluses and the like, he used to have a thick layer on his hands.When he absorbed the second Li Zi soul ring, it was as if he had been tempered both inside and outside his body. The calluses were gone, but he had a smooth and jade-like texture.

Unexpectedly, Lou Gao misunderstood him here.

After hearing what Ishino said, Lou Gao suddenly became furious. If I give you the steps, why don't you go down?And you said in front of me that your forging skills are very high?

"Please leave, the blacksmith will never welcome you." Lou Gao said coldly, calling the guards to drive them away.

"Senior Lou Gao, you have to let me try it first. Who can judge the quality of the iron without first testing the quality?" Ishino said with a wry smile as he casually turned sideways to avoid the guard's push.

Lou Gao looked thoughtful and glanced at Ishi Ye, "Okay, then I will try your quality myself. But if your skills are poor, don't blame me for having someone throw you off the third floor."

Then he led Ishino straight into a room on the third floor. As soon as he opened the door, a wave of hot air hit his face.There was also a middle-aged man in his late forties.

"Teacher, what are you doing?" He looked at Lou Gao who walked in through the door, obviously surprised.

"Sidi, I'll take this kid to the blacksmith rating assessment." Lou Gao said angrily.

"Ah?" The middle-aged man was stunned and looked at Shi Ye carefully, his eyes going back and forth between him and Lou Gao, as if he wanted to find out the kinship between the two people, "Then please invite this little brother Come to me first to register..."

"No need! We'll wait until he passes the test. If he doesn't pass, just throw him off the third floor." Lou Gao waved his hand, then crossed his arms and looked at Ishino, as if he was watching your performance.

"Huh?" Sidi was stunned again. He thought his teacher was bringing people through the back door, but it didn't look like it?

Ishino smiled and walked straight to the furnace and bellows. The blacksmith still had to use the iron to speak.

Lifting his strength, he moved his shoulders and elbows. Ishino's body seemed to be hiding countless springs, transmitting power layer by layer. He pulled the bellows back and forth. In a few breaths, the temperature in the room increased a lot again.

Lou Gao and Sidi's eyes lit up slightly. A layman was watching the excitement, while an expert was watching the doorway. Just from Shi Ye's few actions, they could conclude that this boy was a good blacksmith with extremely solid basic skills.

Sidi looked at Shiye's actions and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.When he first studied with Lou Gao, he didn't learn anything at the beginning and only practiced blowing the bellows.And he had been working day and night, blowing the bellows for almost ten years, to reach Ishino's current level.But how good is this Ishino’s face?

Opening the bellows, he used a clamp to pick up the iron blocks in the furnace and put them on the forging table. Only then did Ishino summon his martial soul. Two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, appeared. He twisted his shoulders and turned his waist, with strength filling his whole body, and struck with a hammer. It hit the iron block.Then there was a series of ding-dang-dang-dang sounds.

Sidi looked at the teacher in confusion, could he still fail the assessment at this level?With just this messy cloak, he is more than enough to be a master blacksmith, let alone a senior blacksmith.

Lou Gao ignored him and just watched Shi Ye's movements intently. He was also a little surprised and asked, "Could it be that I made a mistake today?" They didn't care about Shi Ye's unusual second soul ring and just regarded this boy as a kid. There must be some powerful elder soul master in the family.

[You used a hammer to extract a piece of iron essence, and your soul power increased slightly! 】

The banging sound stopped, and Ishino turned to look at Lou Gao.

"What are you looking at me for? Is your work finished? You guys don't think that the assessment is just about refining metal." Lou Gao said loudly, "No matter how good you are at refining metal, your work will be a waste. Materials, what kind of blacksmith is that?”

I don’t know if he was talking about Ishino, or if he was secretly mocking someone.

Sidi glanced at the height of the building. Does the assessment require the finished product to be completed?

And teacher, you just took advantage of the person's absence to speak ill of that person behind his back, right?

Ishino raised his eyebrows. Speaking of which, in order to obtain soul power more efficiently, he had always focused on refining metals. If he really wanted to build something, he would just make a batch of hidden weapons.

But this is not the time to bring out hidden weapons.After all, the patent belongs to Tang San, and he has promised that it will never be spread without permission.

In order to still get those other hidden weapon blueprints from Tang San, he had better respect their intellectual property rights.

Then he can only use his own special skills.

In front of the forging platform, Ishino breathed a peaceful sigh and closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, his aura changed from thick to sharp, from wild to restrained.

The Star God is cultivating in the furnace, roaring with fierce fire.

Good workmanship has taken many years to forge my Longyuan Sword.

Instead of using the random cloak hammer technique, Ishino began to forge swords wholeheartedly, using the Longquan sword-making technique passed down from previous generations.
