The Great Zhou Empire.
At the southern foot of the Pine Creek Mountain Range.
Big Bamboo Gang.
As one of the audition grounds for the Equipment Refining Convention, many Armament Masters had come to the venue due to its fame since the day of registration.
Most of them looked arrogant and thought that their skills were not inferior to anyone else.
However, the weapons that these people were so proud of often failed to even pass the elimination round and were eliminated.
Seeing that another person's weapon had been broken by the sword-testing stone,
Lu Ming, who was dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, sighed heavily. He no longer had the interest to watch.
He turned around and returned to the attic.
Liu Hai, the leader of the Big Bamboo Gang, quickly followed and sighed,""Sigh! I finally know why the Equipment Refining Convention is divided into three stages!”
"There are so many people who can't even pass the first test. Do they still want to go to Chang 'an to compete for the top 100? He still wanted to go to the Heaven's Secret Tower's headquarters to fight for the position of the leader? Hey! You really overestimate yourself!"
Liu Hai shook his head and glanced at Lu Ming. He smiled obsequiously and said,"It's just that it's been hard on Pavilion Master Lu. You have to accompany me to suffer!”
"Hehe, Leader Liu is too polite!”
Lu Ming waved his hand." The audition for this convention is the responsibility of us branch heads. How can it be hard?"”
"On the other hand, Sect Leader Liu has been accompanying me these past few days. This Lu will remember this kindness!”
Hearing this,
Liu Hai was delighted.
The reason why he had gone through so much trouble to accompany Lu Ming these few days was because he wanted to be on good terms with him.
One had to know that as the Tower Master of the 106th floor of the Heaven's Secret Tower, Lu Ming's power was terrifying. He did not even take the Prefecture Overseer of the Great Zhou Empire seriously!
Thus, if he befriended him, he would also befriend the Heaven's Secret Tower.
At that time, wouldn't it be a matter of time for him to soar?
Just as Liu Hai was about to strike while the iron was hot and continue to show goodwill to Lu Ming, there was a sudden exclamation from the crowd.
"Good!"
" Armor Penetration Level 81, cleared!"
The disciple of the Great Bamboo Gang who was in charge of the test couldn't help but say excitedly.
The onlookers exclaimed.
"How ruthless! He actually managed to break through the 81st level of the Sword Trial Armor? Is this still a sword?!”
"That's right! I only slashed through the fifth level, but he actually slashed through the 81st level!”
"Sigh! The difference is really too great!"
Everyone shook their heads in amazement.
Even Liu Hai could not help but stand up from his chair.
"Eighty-first level?"
"Brother Lu, this should be the best result so far, right?”
Lu Ming smiled and nodded. He did not care that Liu Hai had changed the way he addressed him.
Liu Hai was even more delighted. He asked," With such a result, you should be able to enter the third stage, right?"”
But unexpectedly,
Lu Ming shook his head.
Seeing that Liu Hai was looking at him with confusion, he smiled and explained,""Although this person's sword broke through the 81st layer of the Sword-Testing Armor.”
"But look, the blade of his sword is already broken, and cracks have even appeared on the hilt. It's obvious that he's already at the end of his rope and can't be reused!”
Hearing this, Liu Hai quickly looked over and saw that the person's sword was damaged in many places. It was obvious that it was difficult to continue the test.
Liu Hai could not help but sigh at Lu Ming's unique vision. He could tell the cause of the illness at a glance!
Lu Ming only smiled lightly, a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.
......
At the same time, in the swordsmithing room.
Li Baiyu looked at the cloud shuttle in his hand, his heart surging.
"That's great!" he said confidently. With such a divine weapon, I will definitely be able to win the Equipment Refining Convention! He would make Swordforge Mountain Village a true legend in the martial arts world!”
Thinking of this, Li Baiyu couldn't control his excitement.
He did not delay any longer. He simply packed his luggage and rode a white horse down the mountain.
Along the way, they met many neighbors.
Although Li Baiyu was once ignorant and incompetent, he got along very well with the neighbors around the villa. When the villa was still prosperous, there were often children from the neighbors who came to the Swordforge Manor to freeload.
Seeing Li Baiyu dressed like he was going on a long trip, they immediately asked,""Xiao Yu, where are you going?”
"Feiye City!" Li Baiyu replied with a smile. I'm going to participate in the preliminary selection of the Equipment Refining Convention!”
Hearing this,
Everyone immediately looked enlightened.
As the grandest event in the entire martial world, how could they not know?
However, they did not expect that Li Baiyu, who was the only one left in Sword Crafting Mountain Manor, would still choose to participate.
One of the youths couldn't help but tease,""Brother Yu, with your skill at chopping knives, can you do it?”
Li Baiyu smiled and was about to scold him, but the middle-aged man next to the young man slapped him first.
"You little bastard, what are you talking about?”
After saying that, he chased after the youth and beat him up. The youth hurriedly begged for mercy," Father, I was wrong! Stop fighting! Brother Yu, save me! My father has gone crazy!”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Li Baiyu chatted with them for a while more before getting on his horse and setting off.
Looking at his back, everyone said regretfully,""Sigh! How pitiful! If it wasn't for the fact that the old manor master and the others had all failed and died in the sword fight, Xiao Yu wouldn't have to put herself in danger!”
"That's right, when I saw the old master being dragged back from Great Yan, I was almost scared to death! How could he still be human! There's not a single piece of good flesh on his body!"
"Sigh! I hope Xiao Yu will have a safe journey!”
Everyone shook their heads and sighed.
They were citizens of the Great Zhou, but they were also in the pugilistic world. Many of them had martial arts and knew that swords had no eyes. Once they stepped on this path, they would not be able to control themselves.
......
After coming down from Songxi Mountain, Li Baiyu went straight to Feiye City.
The Big Bamboo Gang in Feiye City was the nearest sea selection point to him, so he naturally rushed there first.
The journey was safe and sound. Three days later, Li Baiyu arrived at the Big Bamboo Gang.
It was noon, and the sun was scorching hot, but the Great Bamboo Gang was still packed with people.
Li Baiyu was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that there would be so many people!
"The more people there are, the greater the competition.”
Li Baiyu could not help but sigh.
Just as he was walking in line, a few people in the distance suddenly looked over.
"Eh? Wasn't that Li Baiyu from Swordforge Manor? Why did he come to the Equipment Refining Convention?"
A middle-aged man asked in surprise.
This sentence instantly opened up a topic for everyone.
"Hey, it's really him. Who would have thought that the once incomparably glorious Swordforge Mountain Village would only have this little brat left!”
"Haha, that's right! I also heard that this brat doesn't know any artifact refining arts at all, yet he actually dared to come here and make a fool of himself. He really doesn't know shame!”
"Sigh! Swordforge Manor's century-old foundation! Destroy it like this!"
“......”
Ear-piercing noises came from the side. These people even winked at Li Baiyu from time to time.
Li Baiyu's expression was normal. He ignored these people and walked away.
They were also a force in the pugilistic world and had once had conflicts with Swordforge Manor. They were not considered enemies, but they were the kind of people who would step on them for no reason.
Like a fly.
Regarding this.
In the past, Li Baiyu would have retorted,
However, to the current him, he only felt that these people were boring.
He was simply too free!
Seeing this scene,
Lu Ming, who was in the attic, could not help but nod secretly.
He thought to himself that this kid's temperament was not bad. He was so young, but he was actually able to remain calm in the face of others 'ridicule.
It was very rare.
Liu Hai, who had been secretly observing him, could not have noticed it. He immediately said with emotion,"Brother Lu, do you know that this person is the young master of Swordforge Mountain Village?”
"However, ever since the previous manor masters of Sword Crafting Manor died, Sword Crafting Manor has been declining day by day. Now, he's the only one left!”
"To be insulted like this, sigh! Fate is playing tricks on us!"
Liu Hai said with pity.
"Desolation from glory?"
Lu Ming shook his head when he heard that and smiled gently."Hehe, you're wrong. How can a person like him be despised by these lowly people?”
"Oh?"
Liu Hai was stunned, not understanding what was going on.
However, Lu Ming's gaze.
However, he never left the black bag behind Li Baiyu.
Over there,
He felt an unprecedented sharpness!
He stood out from the crowd!
It was hard not to notice.
Of course.
This was for an Armament Master with keen perception like him.
Other people, even the leader of the Big Bamboo Gang, could not sense this sharpness.
They would only think that Li Baiyu was full of confidence.
