Blue Silver Grass Strategy

If Ling Yi were here, he could use the simplest words to tell Tang Yuehua the reason for the occurrence of this phenomenon called "happiness".

When a world, a country, a society, or a city is thriving as a whole, the people living in it can see the future. Even if they are in misery, they can clearly know that they can make themselves and their loved ones better and live a better life through hard work and struggle, and their mentality will naturally be prosperous.

But when this subject becomes decadent and backward, the system becomes rigid, and the upward path becomes slim or even blocked, the people living here will naturally become numb and live from day to day.

Central area, [Headquarters of the Blacksmiths Guild].

After Xiang Guyun's advance notification, Tie Futu and Lou Gao went out to greet them at the same time, expressing their great importance to the upcoming siblings Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua.

On the other side, when they went down to the first floor lobby of the Iron Pagoda, a tall figure walked out of the crowd dozens of meters outside the main gate. Under the gaze of Tang Hao and his group, he approached and raised his hand to take off the bamboo hat on his head.

"Third uncle?" Tang Hao looked at the man's face and was a little surprised: "You are also in Gengxin City?"

Although he was surprised, Tang Hao stepped forward to say hello. Although he was proud, he would not forget the proper etiquette in front of his elders.

Not to mention, the person in front of him is a Soul Douluo-level warrior and the cousin of his grandfather Tang Chen!

In the entire [Haotian Sect], even Tang Hao's father, Tang Zhen, the sect leader, has to respectfully call him "Third Uncle" when he sees him.

"Hello, Third Uncle." Tang Yuehua got off the carriage and bowed quietly.

"Okay, okay~" Tang Chen looked at Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua, a smile appeared on his cold face, and he responded in a friendly tone.

On the side, Tai Tan led his men to bow and salute:

"Meet the Third Elder!"

Facing Tai Tan, Yang Wushuang and others, Tang Chen's smile faded slightly. He nodded at them imperceptibly and replied lightly: "Yeah."

Titan and others didn't care about Tang Chen's indifference, and it was obvious that they had already gotten used to it.

Tang Hao turned around and looked around. Seeing that many pedestrians were looking at him and his companions, he frowned and said to Tang Chen, "Uncle San, let's go to the Blacksmith Association first."

He didn't want to be like a monkey and be watched by people.

"Yeah." Tang Chen nodded, looked up at the huge building not far away, and said, "Let's go together."

There, he sensed the aura of a Soul Douluo, who had just used his Qi to sense Tang Hao and others here, but he didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend.

In front of the spacious gate, the place became empty due to the appearance of the Iron Pagoda and the tall building. People stepped back consciously to make room.

"Fatty Lou... cough——!"

Tai Tan walked forward quickly and saw Lou Gao's iconic round figure at first sight. He was about to make a joke, but suddenly saw Tie Fu Tu standing next to him. He immediately swallowed back the rest of his words, smiled awkwardly, bowed quickly, and greeted: "Long time no see, old man, why are you out too?"

"When a distinguished guest comes to visit, I, an old man, naturally have to come out to greet him..."

Tie Futu walked forward with a smile, and as he spoke, he cast his gaze at Tang Chen, Tang Hao, Tang Yuehua, Yang Wushuang and others who were walking up behind Tai Tan.

"Look at me~" Titan slapped his forehead and hurriedly introduced:

"Third Elder, these two are the only two master craftsmen in Douluo Continent today, Mr. Tiefutu, and his disciple, the current president of the [Blacksmith Association], Lou Gao..."

Hearing this, Tang Chen raised his hand towards Tiefutu, clasped his fists, and took the initiative to greet him: "Tang Chen, you are polite."

"Tiefutu, greetings to the Third Elder." Tiefutu did not dare to be negligent. He could feel that the man in front of him was stronger than him, so he quickly responded according to the title that Titan had just mentioned.

Chapter 224 Level Assessment

[Blacksmith Association Headquarters], third floor.

This is the blacksmith registration and assessment area, a place specifically for blacksmith level assessments.

"clang--!"

"Clear Sky Hammer" was raised, revealing the sword blade which was nearly half covered by the huge hammer head. Tang Hao confidently retracted his martial spirit into his body, waiting for Tie Fu Tu and Lou Gao to watch and evaluate.

This is a one-piece two-handed sword, 30 meters long, with the hilt accounting for centimeters. The thick part is as wide as a finger. There is a -centimeter section on the sword near the guard without a sharp edge, with a blood groove and natural patterns superimposed by forging.

It has to be said that Tang Hao's forging skills are indeed better than more than 99% of the blacksmiths in Douluo Continent. He actually used a flat hammer to knock out blood grooves on the metal surface of the sword, which was really a bit of a show of skill.

Of course, showing off skills is showing off skills. Tie Futu and Lou Gao mainly judge Tang Hao's forging level at that time based on the quality of this two-handed greatsword. Other fancy things are just extras.

Following Tiefutu's gaze, Lou Gao stepped forward and reached out with his bare hands for the greatsword that was still emitting high temperatures.

Holding the sword across his chest, Lou Gao's eyes became sharp and his face became solemn. His originally short, fat and slightly funny figure now looked more majestic.

"Just look at the color."

Lou Gao whispered in his heart, using his soul power to circulate his eyes. He glanced at the sword and saw alternating blue and white light on it. He nodded slightly, knowing that the metal had been smelted to the required standard, combining both hardness and softness.

Different metals, due to their different characteristics during the repeated folding and forging process, will present different shades of color in the blacksmith's secret vision, which reflects whether these metals have achieved effective smelting and complementarity.

Although he was not as good as Lou Gao, his master Tie Futu, and his junior brother Ling Yi, who were not able to smelt out the five colors of red, green, yellow, white and black, he was already qualified among the master blacksmiths.

and so.

"Pass!" Lou Gao gave his evaluation of the first item.

Not far away, Tang Hao frowned slightly and moved his lips slightly, as if he was about to say something, but then he held himself back.

Lou Gao continued: "Second, look at the texture."

"The textures are not interconnected, and none of them is disconnected, which makes it a good tool!"

The two-handed sword forged by Tang Hao has a sword body with forging textures that are continuous, natural and smooth without any cross-over or confusion, and is in excellent condition.

“Third, look at the luster. The layers are clear and the luster is so bright that you can see through it. This can be achieved without any grinding. The craftsmanship is impeccable!”

Hearing this, Tang Hao finally showed a hint of satisfaction on his face.

"Finally," Lou Gao held the big sword in one hand and walked towards the metal pillar next to him. Without using his soul power, he swung the sword diagonally relying on the strength honed through years of forging.

With a clanging sound, the pure metal cylinder, which was as thick as an ordinary person's thigh, was split nearly in half by Lou Gao's sword.

He just casually glanced at the gap, his eyes fixed on the blade that was not bent or cracked at all, nodded with satisfaction, smiled and praised: "Good sword!"

Then, he raised his hand and held up the great sword. He looked around at the people around him and announced loudly: "Now, I declare that Tang Hao is the master blacksmith. Anyone who disagrees may come forward!"

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke, let alone stepped forward to express dissent. Seeing this, Lou Gao put down the sword in his hand, and continued with a smile: "Since everyone agrees, from now on, Tang Hao is the master blacksmith--"

"it is good!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted "good", as if it was a signal, and everyone began to praise loudly.

"Amazing! As expected of the second son of the Tang family of Haotian Sect, he has become a master blacksmith in his twenties..."

"Indeed, I am already over 30 years old and have only just begun to become a blacksmith. Thousand Forgings is too difficult!"

"I'm so envious. They are both hammer-type martial spirits. My "Red Copper Pumpkin Hammer" is so much different from the Tang family's "Clear Sky Hammer"..."

These are the members of the Blacksmith Association, who are here at the headquarters today, and they came up as witnesses. At this time, they also began to flatter in a very respectful manner.

They were all familiar with this matter. As early as a year ago, President Lou Gao began to greet the middle and senior management of the association in order to create a perfect atmosphere whenever figures like Tang Hao came for rating and assessment.

The celebrity effect has obvious benefits in promoting the profession of blacksmith.

Another thing is that although Tang Hao's performance in the metal smelting process was not outstanding, that was compared with his forging skills. If we only talk about forging, among the many people present, except Tie Futu and Lou Gao, there are really few members of their [Blacksmith Association] who can compare with Tang Hao.

At most, there are only a few people like Ah Gu and Shangguan Tianyou who can achieve a level similar to Tang Hao.

"Second Young Master," Lou Gao held up the two-handed sword and handed it to Tang Hao, saying with a smile, "Look, I need someone to scabbard this sword. Second Young Master, take it back as a souvenir?"

“No need.” Tang Hao didn’t even look at the big sword in Lou Gao’s hand, and waved his hand nonchalantly: “You can keep it, sell it downstairs, or do whatever you want—”

He doesn't need this sword. He has the "Clear Sky Hammer" for battle. It's so big that it's not convenient to use it to cut fruits, and it takes up the space for storing soul guides.

“How can we sell it then—” Lou Gao immediately shook his head and objected: “This is the work that you, the Second Young Master, evaluated. It is so commemorative that you should keep it… Well, let’s do this… Silong!”

Lou Gao turned around and called Silong, who was in the crowd singing praises in unison with Xiang Guyun.

"Teacher, you called me~" Silong trotted over, first bowed to Tang Hao, and then looked up at Lou Gao.

Lou Gao was very satisfied with Silong's performance in details, and thought to himself that after being trained by Ayi, this kid's brain was finally not so dull.

He handed the sword to Silong Lougao and ordered, "Send this sword to the exhibition area inside and put it away. Remember, find a place with the best lighting!"

"Yes!"

Silong responded loudly and stretched out his hands to catch the big sword handed to him by Lou Gao. He bowed slightly to Tang Hao again, turned around and strode towards the inside of the third floor.

Looking in the direction of Silong, Tang Hao's heart moved, but he did not ask Lou Gao, but cast his gaze on Titan beside him.

After years of companionship, Tai Tan understood Tang Hao's intention and immediately introduced with a smile: "Young Master, in addition to being a place for blacksmith assessment and rating, this third floor also has a special exhibition area to display the works of all successful ratings for later viewers to see and for everyone to judge together. It is an honor and a confidence..."

"Of course, this is not mandatory, but is decided by the examinee. Some examinees will take their works back as a souvenir."

Hearing this, Tang Hao nodded. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed his sister Tang Yuehua approaching him. There was a gleam of eagerness in her eyes. She changed the subject and said, "Let's go and take a look at other people's work. Yuehua, are you coming?"

"Yeah~" Tang Yuehua smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Lou Gao naturally did not object. He waved his hand at Ah Gu and other members of the association, signaling them to go and do what they should do. Then he took the initiative to lead Tang Hao, Tang Yuehua, Tai Tan, Yang Wushuang and others to the exhibition area.

As for the two big guys, Tiefutu and Tang Chen, they followed at the back, strolling leisurely.

"Teacher, Second Young Master——"

Silong had just placed the two-handed sword on a black wooden rack, and when he turned around, he saw Lou Gao and Tang Hao approaching, and hurriedly greeted them.

Chapter 225 Master Craftsman Ling Yi

"This was created by the master craftsman Xue Ji a hundred years ago when he was being evaluated for advancement to master craftsman status..."

Lou Gao stood in front of an "Eight-Spear Armor-Breaking Spear" and introduced it to Tang Hao and the others: "The spear body is made of seven kinds of precious metals, including deep-sea silver and copper marrow, and has been forged for more than 3,700 times. It is both hard and soft. The soft one can bend to connect the head and the tail, and the hard one can withstand a huge force of thousands of pounds without deforming..."

"The spear head has been added with three ounces of 'Cold Heart Iron Essence'. In terms of its sharpness and armor-piercing power, it is enough to penetrate twenty layers of iron armor, like penetrating rotten soil!"

Tang Hao's eyes flickered. The moment he saw the gun, he felt a strange difference. It was different from the artificial craftsmanship of the two-handed sword he had made before. This "Eight-Spear Armor-Piercing Gun" gave people a natural sense of comfort.

It’s like... a martial soul——!

Next to him, Yang Wushuang had the biggest reaction. He was almost shaking with excitement, and a strong possessive desire surged in his heart.

Speaking of guns, Yang Wushuang dared to pat his chest and say to everyone in Douluo Continent that no one knew more about guns than them [Soul-Breaking Gun·Yang Family]!

This "Eight-Speared Armor-Piercing Spear" made Yang Wushuang feel the indestructible and unbreakable aura that his father exuded when he was a child, when he danced with the spear in front of him and his elder brother Yang Wudi.

Just when Yang Wushuang was about to ask if he could buy this "Eight-pointed Armor-piercing Spear", Titan, who seemed to have noticed this, spoke in advance, pointing to another mahogany shelf a few steps away, and said:

"Compared to the 'Eight-pointed Armor-piercing Spear', I still prefer this pair of 'Drum-beating Golden Hammers'. No matter what kind of armor or spear, a hammer will destroy them all!"

Hearing this, Lou Gao rolled his eyes at Tai Tan and said unhappily, "Don't you think about it? Your martial spirit is enough to support you in using this pair of "Lei Gu Weng Jin Chui", but what about the others?"

"In the past two hundred years, apart from the forger at that time, the master craftsman Chu Ge, how many people could lift this pair of 'Lei Gu Weng Jin Chui'?"

"One sword weighs 1,500 jin, and a pair of 'Lei Gu Weng Jin Chui' weighs a total of 3,000 jin, and they need to be wielded to fight..."

"Not everyone's martial spirit can be as strong as your 'Powerful Orangutan', and not everyone can cultivate 'Thousand-pound Ant' to the Soul Douluo level like the master craftsman Chu Ge!"

After being teased by Titan, Yang Wushuang's mood stabilized a little, and he stopped asking Lou Gao whether these exhibits could be sold.

At this time, he thought that if it was really for sale, it would most likely be placed in the high-end trading area on the second floor below, or in the auction area on the fourth floor above. But it was displayed here at this time, and Lou Gao and Titan had mentioned the commemorative significance and honor in front of them, so the possibility of selling it was not great.
