The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

The forging competition consists of at least five rounds.

Depending on the situation on site, a decision will be made regarding whether to extend the time.

The blacksmiths who are able to participate in the forging competition have all been recognized for their skills. Some of them registered and were recognized by the Divine Craftsmen Pavilion before they were qualified to participate.

Some of them were renowned and received invitations from the Divine Craftsmen Pavilion.

As for the Divine Craftsman's Shop, it receives an invitation every year.

The Divine Craftsmen Pavilion only wants to weaken the influence of the Divine Craftsmen Shop through competitions, preventing it from continuing to develop in Baidi City.

Thus, the signboard of Shenjiangpu was removed.

In fact, given the strength of the Divine Craftsman Pavilion, the Divine Craftsman Shop could not possibly have any impact or cause any harm to it. However, the Divine Craftsman Shop's signboard was jointly designed by the founders of both the Divine Craftsman Pavilion and the Divine Craftsman Shop.

Later, the founder of the Divine Craftsman Pavilion emerged victorious.

The Divine Craftsman's Pavilion is famous far and wide in Baidi City.

The founder of Shenjiangpu was also involved in the creation of Shenjiangge, but withdrew from Shenjiangpu due to differences in their philosophies.

Therefore, the Divine Craftsman Shop was originally one of the important departments of the Divine Craftsman Pavilion.

Now, after so many years, the Divine Craftsman Pavilion has become the premier forging shop in Baidi City. When the Divine Craftsman Pavilion was passed down to General Ma, the strongest blacksmith was only level four.

The Divine Craftsmen Pavilion has tried to bring the Divine Craftsmen Shop under its wing several times.

To make people forget this past event, and to prevent the existence of the Divine Craftsman Shop from becoming a stain on the Divine Craftsman Pavilion.

However, General Ma did not want to be won over by the Divine Craftsman Pavilion and only wanted to run the Divine Craftsman Shop himself. This led many people who knew about this past to bring up the past of the Divine Craftsman Pavilion.

Questions have been raised about the history of the Divine Craftsman Pavilion.

Over time, conflicts between the Divine Craftsman Pavilion and the Divine Craftsman Shop increased.

Now, the Shen family, who control the Divine Craftsman Pavilion, only wants the Divine Craftsman Shop to disappear from the market. Even if it continues to appear, the name "Divine Craftsman Shop" can only be a part of the Divine Craftsman Pavilion.

The game starts soon.

The first round is an elimination tournament.

To advance, one must forge a qualified divine weapon.

It can store energy, expand energy, assist powerful beings in the realm of gods, and enable a true god's attack power to reach the level of a god in a short period of time.

Only such powerful weapons can be sold on the market.

Zhang Lingfeng, Wu Xiaomei, Ma Dashuai, and Master Yang all arrived at their respective forging tables.

There were more than a thousand blacksmiths who came to participate in the forging competition.

Only when a forging tournament is held will so many blacksmiths appear.

Only then will Baidi City enter a state of full alert.

At this moment.

The forging competition was attended by many powerful individuals and prominent figures from Baidi City.

"I'm going up."

Barkol said.

Under the watchful eyes of the Baruch people, he entered the conference venue and arrived at his designated forging platform.

"Brother Kun will definitely win."

Yan Fei said.

Today, on the God-level continent, through the physical cultivation method, he also found a cultivation method suitable for himself, and now Yan Fei has also attained the Dao and become a god.

Baturu, who was standing to the side, was now Yan Fei's underling.

Yan Fei's cultivation system is similar to the Four Divine Beasts Cultivation Method of the Baruch family. Although it has not yet gained the attention of the Baruch family's higher-ups, it has won the appreciation of Barkol.

Barkol is a high god.

A person with strong bloodline.

Divine power surged forth.

He is also a level four blacksmith.

And at such a young age, the entire Baruch family leadership had high hopes for him.

"Zhang Lingfeng, where are you?"

Yan Fei is searching for Zhang Lingfeng's whereabouts.

Zhang Lingfeng told him through the Ma family that he had become a blacksmith and was working at the Divine Craftsman Shop in Baidi City.

Barkol came to Baidi City to participate in the forging competition at his urging; otherwise, the Baruk region would be quite a distance from Baidi City.

The Baruch family didn't value this match much.

There are many strong competitors present.

There are many restrictions.

One must not release one's divine sense at will, otherwise one will not only violate the restrictions and suffer backlash, but also offend the powerful figures present.

But there were so many blacksmiths on site.

The convention center is the size of a city.

It wouldn't be easy for Yan Fei to find Zhang Lingfeng with the naked eye alone.

"He'll probably participate!"

"If you didn't participate, then go to the Divine Craftsman's Shop to find him when it's over."

"Ma Street, the Divine Craftsman's Shop!"

Yan Fei kept the address information that Ma Fei had sent him.

He was quite surprised to learn that Zhang Lingfeng had become a blacksmith.

But when Yan Fei thought about how Zhang Lingfeng was able to defeat Zu He mainly because he was a level seven Soul Master, he felt relieved.

He left the upper world and entered the god-level continent before he became a true god.

Previously, I had been sending various messages back to Zhang Lingfeng intermittently, but I don't know if Zhang Lingfeng received them.

However, he knew that when Zhang Lingfeng entered the God-level Continent, Zhang Lingfeng was already a Level 3 True God.

Now so many years have passed.

Zhang Lingfeng's divine physical strength should not be as great as his.

But as a blacksmith.

Zhang Lingfeng's status in Baidi City is definitely not simple.

Yan Fei thought to himself.

"when!"

Then came the sound of a hammer striking.

The competition has begun.

Forging a divine weapon that allows a true god-level expert to possess the strength of a god-level expert in a short period of time is something that any first-level blacksmith can achieve with careful crafting; the chance of being eliminated is not high.

However, the conference conducted a screening process.

There are relevant requirements.

There is also a time limit.

And the energy injected must at least meet a certain standard, etc.

Knowing that the Divine Craftsman Pavilion naturally held the top position over the Divine Craftsman Shop, Zhang Lingfeng didn't hesitate.

A flying sword was quickly forged.

The design is not large.

But the level is quite good.

Having reached the standard of a Level 3 blacksmith, he is fully capable of passing the inspection by the specialists from the Divine Craftsman Pavilion.

"boom!"

Someone exploded in the oven.

The materials used in the crafting process were reduced to powder.

It even injured the blacksmith who was standing at the nearby forging table, focused on forging divine weapons.

Fortunately, nothing like that happened around Zhang Lingfeng.

The first round is given a three-day timeframe.

Forging divine weapons requires meticulous attention to detail.

Some high-level divine weapons take as long as one or two years, ten or more years, or even a hundred years to forge.

The requirement to forge a qualified divine weapon within three days is already considered very demanding.

Every blacksmith who is eligible to participate is at least a genuine first-level blacksmith.

However, some people experienced various problems in the forging process due to tension and time constraints.

Surprisingly, getting through this elimination round was a relatively difficult task.

In a competition with over a thousand participants, more than three hundred blacksmiths were eliminated.

Surprisingly, several of them were certified as Level 2 blacksmiths.

Their psychological resilience is not high enough.

This led to a series of errors, ultimately resulting in its elimination.

Zhang Lingfeng, Wu Xiaomei, Master Yang, and Ma Dashuai all performed well. They easily advanced through the elimination rounds to the next stage.

The next round of matches will take place in two days.

All blacksmiths are to rest for the next two days.

Yan Fei tried to find Zhang Lingfeng.

Unfortunately, there were too many people.

In addition, Barkol also needs rest, so we have to give up for the time being.

Two days later.

The second round begins.

Nearly a thousand blacksmiths entered the center of the conference and came to their designated forging platforms.

More than 300 forging tables were removed.

The area was much more spacious now.

This second round requires forging divine weapons suitable for use by lower-level gods, enabling them to escape from the hands of mid-level gods, or even higher-level gods, once they master such weapons.

The energy injected into it has a respiratory system, which can gradually increase its power.

The requirements are much stricter than before.

It's not an easy thing.

The deadline is ten days.

There is much more time than before.

"when!"

Everyone entered the forging state.

"They're actually participating too."

Zhang Lingfeng was somewhat caught off guard.

Shen Qiming and Shen Pengyun, two direct descendants of the Divine Craftsmen Pavilion who had previously tried to win him over, were also participating in the forging competition.

Participate in the competition with a group of blacksmiths from the Divine Craftsmen Pavilion.

Shen Qiming and Shen Pengyun are both powerful beings at the upper level.

Shen Pengyun was no ordinary high-ranking god; both of them possessed excellent forging skills.

He's even stronger than General Ma.

But they are not the hope for Shenjiang Pavilion to win the championship.

The blacksmiths who can truly help the Divine Craftsman Shop achieve first place are hidden among the blacksmiths in every Divine Craftsman Pavilion.

On the surface, it seems difficult to directly judge from the divine weapons they forged whose forging skills were superior.

Because some of them will choose to hide their strength.

"when!"

A bull demon is forging a divine weapon with all his might.

Blacksmiths are not exclusively human.

The demon race also has such masters.

One of the young men, with brown hair, less than 1.3 meters tall, and rather obese, released a divine power that astonished many.

"Dwarfs".

Someone whispered.

On the continent of gods, there are many races.

The dwarves are one of the gods.

Many skilled blacksmiths have emerged from this area.

In many forging competitions, the top three finishers are all dwarven forgers.

However, Baidi City is quite far from where the dwarves live.

It was rather unexpected that dwarven blacksmiths were able to participate in the competition this time.

However, the members of the Divine Craftsmen's Pavilion did not feel any pressure because of the appearance of the dwarven blacksmiths. It seemed that they firmly believed that the champion of this forging competition could only be the blacksmiths of their Divine Craftsmen's Pavilion.

"when!"

Zhang Lingfeng chose to continue forging a flying sword.

This allows for a larger internal space within the flying sword.

Being able to store more energy, and even create an internal system that can enhance that energy, is actually quite difficult for an ordinary level-two blacksmith.

The requirements for the forging competition are quite stringent.

The divine weapons forged in the second round must be capable of giving a lower-level god, a middle-level god, or even a higher-level god the ability and opportunity to escape.

In other words, after the energy is released, even high-ranking gods would not dare to directly withstand this power and would choose to avoid it, thus giving lower-ranking gods a chance to escape.

This requires that every weapon forged by a blacksmith must have enough space to store enough power to harm a high-ranking god.

But in the god-level continent with its heavy rules.

Making room for such a large space is no easy task.

Moreover, it really is within ten days.

Even Wu Xiaomei found it very difficult.

You should know that she is a level three blacksmith.

Moreover, he was a powerful being at the God level.

Forging such divine weapons was a piece of cake for her at the Divine Craftsman's Shop, but standing in the forging convention square, surrounded by other blacksmiths, Wu Xiaomei felt immense pressure.

"It's not difficult for me."

Zhang Lingfeng thought to himself.

In order to pass the test smoothly, he still did his best.

The flying sword he forged could not only store enough power to harm even a god-level expert, but also release power that was quite terrifying.

It was so powerful that even some powerful gods couldn't dodge it in an instant.

It has the ability to lock.

"If I possess enough divine weapons, whether or not I can become a high god doesn't seem to have much impact on me."

At worst, we can win with weapons.

No wonder blacksmiths have such a high status.

Zhang Lingfeng sighed inwardly.

As a lower-level god, Zhang Lingfeng found it hard to believe that the divine weapons he forged could actually injure some upper-level god powerhouses.

It seems that even the high-ranking gods are not actually that powerful.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that the divine weapons he forged could only harm high-ranking gods after accumulating enough energy.

It's equivalent to a full-force attack.

Once that power is released, it must wait until the second energy is fully charged before it can release power capable of harming a high-level god.

Like those divine weapons that can continuously unleash power, each strike capable of harming even a high-ranking god.

This is far beyond the capabilities of even a level three or four blacksmith.

Only a level 5 blacksmith could do this.

According to Zhang Lingfeng's understanding, even the divine weapons forged by Commander Ma could only harm a high-level god ten times with their energy.

A divine weapon capable of continuously harming a high-ranking god is definitely not something a level four blacksmith could forge.

Furthermore, the process of storing energy for these divine weapons, capable of continuously harming high-ranking gods, is extremely complex and requires very little time to accumulate power.

Otherwise, after releasing the energy, there is still time to wait. By the time the enemy rushes up, the energy has not been fully charged. What use is such a powerful weapon?

Of course, the requirements for the second round are not that high.

As long as you can help the lower-level gods, severely injure the middle-level gods, repel the higher-level gods, and gain a chance to escape, that's enough.

"boom!"

A blacksmith is testing his divine weapon.

The sword met on the test stone.

A blade remains.

He was a lower-level god and a peak level two blacksmith.

The longsword forged within ten days did not seem to satisfy him, but the energy it released could still injure a mid-level god.

But it's not a serious injury yet.

They were even less able to directly defeat the higher-ranking gods, giving the lower-ranking gods a chance to escape.

Clearly, he needs to hone his skills to meet the standards and advance to the third round, but time waits for no one.

Ten days pass in the blink of an eye.

The second round of the competition ended in the blink of an eye.
