Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 56 Dare to Challenge Me? (Please continue reading!!!)

"What? You caused this mess yourself, but you're too scared to fix it yourself, so you have to ask your elders to do it?" Su Ming said calmly.

He remained calm, looking at Ye Xinglan with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Conflict with Shrek Academy's Soul Master?

No need.

Go after whoever you have a grudge against.

He didn't want to fight a Soul Master for no reason.

Since it was Ye Xinglan who caused the conflict, he should just keep pressing Ye Xinglan.

"It seems you're not convinced," Ye Xinglan said.

"Dare to spar with me?" Su Ming said, "I'm also ten years old."

At this moment, the boy leading the Shrek team showed an interested expression.

This boy is very bold; he actually dared to challenge Shrek's peers.

Ye Xinglan is a student of Shrek Academy's inner court. Her talent is absolutely top-notch, and she can't be easily fooled.

"Fine, you said it." Ye Xinglan sneered and accepted Su Ming's challenge.

Su Ming raised an eyebrow.

Pretty confident, young lady.

I need to teach you what it means to be outmatched by others and to be in a world beyond our understanding.

He glanced at the chubby Xu Lizhi and said, "You're ten years old too, right? Remember to go on stage with her. I'm participating in the three-person team competition."

It's not worth it to specifically register for an individual competition just to have a match with Ye Xinglan.

After saying that, Su Ming turned and left.

Blacksmith Competition.

As soon as Su Ming arrived at the arena, he saw Tang Wulin waving at him.

"Um, senior brother, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"No need to apologize. I already said, just consider it as stepping in poop," Su Ming said.

"Uh"

Tang Wulin was now at a loss for words.

Su Ming kept swearing, and he really didn't know how to respond.

"Please proceed to your respective areas to prepare for the competition."

The process of the Blacksmith Competition is very simple: it's a series of elimination rounds. Unlike the Soul Master Competition, which involves multiple rounds of matches to eliminate half the participants, it's much faster.

As far as Su Ming knew, this competition consisted of three rounds.

The first round, a hundred trials.

In the second round, participants choose a metal to forge.

In the third round, the forging of the metal specified by the organizers was completed.

All three rounds will be scored by professional judges. The judging panel consists of five people, each of whom is a blacksmith of level five or above.

The final ranking is determined by adding up the scores from the three rounds.

With the explanation of the competition procedures finished, the competition officially began.

Su Ming looked at the heavy silver on the forging table in front of him without hesitation, heated it until it was red-hot, took out the forging hammer, and smashed it for two and a half minutes like a storm.

He put the forging hammer away.

Turn around and leave.

This scene drew the attention of many contestants, including the judges, who were all surprised by Su Ming's behavior.

Upon seeing the piece of metal left behind by Su Ming, some judges couldn't sit still and personally came to Su Ming's forging table.

Upon closer inspection, he confirmed his feelings: the metal already possessed a spiritual essence, and it was very full of it. With just one more hammer blow, striking it from any corner, he could draw out the spiritual essence within it, thus achieving the Thousand Refinements!
Undoubtedly, the competition required a hundred refinements, and Su Ming could not break through that level. However, he proved his strength with his skills and showed all the judges his level.

In this first round, Su Ming received a perfect score without any controversy.

Tang Wulin was under immense pressure, so he didn't hold back and went all out.

The top tier of the stadium. The Shrek team is gathered in this enormous box.

"You had a conflict with the Tianhai team?" Shen Yi asked Ye Xinglan accusingly.

The Shrek team's overwhelming victory over the Tianhai team across age groups at the Tianhai League Grand Tournament was intended to establish Shrek's powerful image and facilitate future recruitment.

The match had barely ended when she heard discordant voices, with some saying that the Shrek team was definitely seeking revenge.

Strength is strength; if you can crush someone, then choose to crush them.

However, the reason why public opinion is so annoying is that it always manages to seize on the most disgusting point and exaggerate it.

For example, Shen Yi heard some people say that the Shrek team showed no mercy. The Tianhai Alliance paid a price to invite them for an exhibition match, a warm-up, not for them to be humiliated. They took the money but didn't do anything, and even kicked the bowl.

"That person was the one who spoke rudely first," Ye Xinglan said. "He started by referring to our Shrek Academy."

Shen Yi raised an eyebrow.

Xu Lizhi hurriedly spoke up, saying, "Teacher Shen Yi, Xinglan got into a conflict with someone because of me, and I am willing to accept the punishment."

"I heard you even challenged someone to a duel?" Shen Yi asked.

"Yes."

"Then defeat him and show them that Shrek's dignity cannot be challenged."

Su Ming returned to the Soul Master Competition venue and found the preparation area of ​​the Tianhai team.

"So fast?"

Long Xin was surprised by the speed at which Su Ming forged the weapon.

"It's alright, it's just a hundred refinings, it's very easy," Su Ming said.

He can add three seconds to each strike, and when used perfectly, his efficiency is incredibly high, essentially replicating the power of a single strike an infinite number of times.

"What were the lottery results?"

"An ordinary college, but their contestants have changed."

Su Ming looked surprised.

He took the tablet from Long Xin, saw the opponent's information, and raised an eyebrow.

"It's quite efficient."

The tablet prominently displayed the portraits of Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi.

It was arranged so quickly, and they even clashed with Su Ming's Tianhai team in the first round.

Shrek Academy really has a lot of power.

Su Ming returned the tablet to Long Xin.

"How are you feeling? Feeling pressured?"

"Captain, you guys shouldn't go on the field later," Su Ming said.

Long Xin was taken aback.

He looked at Su Ming with a hint of hesitation and said, "Junior, are you sure? They are, after all, students of Shrek Academy. Even if Ye Xinglan is a second-ring cultivator, she is not an ordinary second-ring cultivator."

“I am not an ordinary Soul Master either,” Su Ming said.

A second-level Soul Master can fight Soul Venerables of a higher level, but cannot fight all Soul Venerables of a higher level.

“But if you’re facing three opponents at once,” Long Xin hesitated, worried that Su Ming would be at a disadvantage.

"Just do it."

Su Ming interrupted Long Xin and closed his eyes to rest.

He said he was nourishing his spirit, but in reality, he was observing his gains in the sea of ​​his mind.

"I only showed off my skills briefly, but I already gained a lot."

This forging competition was, in essence, a forging competition for the entire Tianhai Alliance, second only to the Federation-wide competition. The scale of the competition was evident. His display of superb skills in such a high-level competition earned him a large amount of faith.

These beliefs are not faith in the god of forging, but faith in him personally, and originate from forging.

This allowed him to absorb these beliefs very smoothly without being discovered by Tang Hao, because these beliefs were for him personally.

"If we condense it up, this faith is enough to feed the Light Clan for a month. This is only the first round. There is still a steady stream of faith gathering, and the scores should not have been announced yet. There will be even more income when that happens. I estimate that by tomorrow, we will have accumulated enough to feed the Light Clan for half a year."
