Chapter 719 Young Master\'s Skills.
Shi Lang smiled even brighter and bowed in gratitude. They quickly reached the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion. The architecture of the place was simple, but one glance and Shi Lang could tell where this idea came from. He mumbled, "Myriad Dragon Ruins."
In his old life, he had entered an ancient ruin where Tian Long became the top winner. He found the inheritance of a senior and slayed seven competitors with a shallow understanding of the scripture. Shi Lang gained a lot from the fallen geniuses because he was there to scavenge while Tian Long burned his energy to kill those who stood against him.
Shi Lang mumbled, and Yang Tei looked at him confusedly. However, before he could say anything, a young girl walked over. She hurriedly said, "Pavillion Master, you have finally returned. Did you forget that today is the meeting of all the staff members? Why do you not pay attention to anything at all?"
Yang Tie sighed and said, "Everyone, this is Elfie, and I work for her."
Shi Lang was taken aback, but then he understood Yang Tie was messing around and smiled. He greeted the young lady, gazing at the ground and blushing hard. Yang Tie continued speaking, "I did not forget about the meeting. I was picking up an important guest."
The girl raised her head and looked at him in askance. Yang Tie sighed and pointed toward Shi Lang as he said, "The Young Master of the pavilion. The personage whom the sovereign was talking about."
The girl was shocked and wanted to say something when Shi Lang asked, "Big Brother Yang, is Old Man Tian here?"
Yang Tie was shocked, and Elfie froze in her place. Bo Qingtan held his face in his palm and said, "Brother, language."
Shi Lang shrugged and said, "All of you need to relax. Anyways, Brother Yang is Sovereign Heavenly Dragon here?"
Yang Tie shook his head and said, "His Excellency just visited us to inform us of your arrival, and then he returned to his residence."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Shall we begin the meeting, or can I have a chess game with Senior Pie?"
The City Lord smiled and said, "You do not have to delay anything for me. I will come back in a few days to have that game. Till then, get used to this place. I hope you can learn some forging techniques. It will be helpful, and given your mind, I look forward to the designs."
Shi Lang was surprised and bowed deeply to the old man. He said, "I will certainly try my best, senior, but no promises."
The old man stroked his beard and chuckled as he walked away with a smile. Shi Lang quickly gestured for Bo Qingtan to follow the old man and see him at the door. Bo Qingtan did not say anything else and nodded as he followed the old man.
Yun Xue stood beside Shi Lang silently. She was an iceberg lady and a person of few words. She watched Elfie, who was scrutinizing Shi Lang from head to toe. Women had a strong intuition, and Yun Xue did not sense any threat from Elfie.
She could tell this girl was all for Yang Tie. Shi Lang watched the old man leave and asked Yang Tie, "Brother Yang, where is this meeting held?"
The young man gestured for Shi Lang and said, "This way, Young Master."
Shi Lang nodded and followed him. Elfie and Yun Xue had taken their positions beside the men they claimed to be theirs. The two women had a tactic understanding and nodded to each other in greeting.
Soon, Shi Lang and Yang Tie arrived at a hall. The latter introduced the place, "Young Master, this is the Auction Hall. The big events are also held here. We have two hundred Master Forgers, fifty Grand Master Forgers, and one Legendary Forger. The rest of the people cannot fit anywhere else, so the meeting was held here."
Shi Lang nodded and commented, "The strength of numbers is there, and given how the Sovereign is, the quality is not to be questioned either. Brother Yang, do tell me what the purpose of this meeting is?"
Yang Tie was hesitating when Elfie said, "Young Master, everyone wishes to see your skill."
Yun Xue raised her brow and asked, "Do they not believe in his martial skills even with the sovereign speaking for him?"
She was a bit surprised, but her experience with the forgers did tell her about their eccentric behavior.
Elfie shook her head and said, "You took it wrong. They are not concerned about the martial skills. They wish to test the Young Master in forging skills."
Surprised, Shi Lang smiled and said, "His Excellency did not tell them no?"
Yang Tie sighed and said, "He did, but these guys tend to be unruly and plan to goad you into it."
Shi Lang chuckled and shook his head. He asked, "Brother Yang, I have some ideas; do not worry; let nature take its course. I do not mind learning the skills to help me grow stronger."
Yang Tie nodded. He thought, \'Indeed, how can someone selected by his excellency be of such a narrow mind? Hmph, Old Huang and the rest are about to get it good this time.\'
Yang Tie took Shi Lang inside the hall from the back door, and they came directly onto the stage. The terran had sensed two hundred and fifty people inside. It seemed to him that the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion was keen on testing his skills.
Yun Xue was worried and used her spiritual sense, \'Will you be okay?\'
Shi Lang nodded lightly, and Yang Tie clapped his hands. The people knew their arrival but still used spiritual senses to communicate secretly. The clap dispersed their ideas, and they all turned to focus on Shi Lang and Yang Tie.
Yang Tie said, "The person you have all been waiting for so eagerly has arrived. Young Master Ace."
Shi Lang stepped forward, clasped his hands, and bowed to the people. Everyone looked at him with great curiosity. Shi Lang noticed these people wearing uniforms. He guessed them to be divided into masters and grandmasters.
An old man in the crowd stood up and said, "Young Master, I am Huang Jin. I am a Grandmaster Forger. We all know His Excellency sent you here to fight in the tournament and win. However, we are all boorish people. We do not understand either martial arts or politics.
Forgive me for being blunt, but can we ask you to showcase your skill in forging?"
Shi Lang smiled politely and said, "Senior Huang, I am just a junior, and when it comes to forging, I have little experience. If you wish to see it, I do not mind. However, please forgive me for being ugly, and I humbly seek your advice."
Old Man Huang did not expect this genius to come out so humbly. He nodded and said, "Please create a weapon of your liking, Young Master. We look forward to it."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Can I have twenty kilograms of Black Moon Iron and twenty kilograms of Star Cotton Steel?"
Yang Tie was surprised but did not ask anything and just nodded. A servant rushed away, and Old Man Huang said, "Pavilion Master, please arrange a forge also."
Yang Tie was about to follow the suggestion when Shi Lang said, "I do not need a forge. Just a set of hammers and a quenching bucket will do."
This shocked the people. They did not know what Shi Lang was going to do. However, before he finished, they had no right to call out his methods.
Soon, the two metals were brought to the stage, and Shi Lang found that the two metals were piled in three cubes. He began to arrange the cubes together into a sandwich. People wondered what was happening here when Shi Lang began to channel his spiritual energy through the tower.
The structure soon turned red, and the Terran began to hit the top of the tower. The hall echoed with clanks of the hammer hitting the hard Black Moon Iron. Shi Lang did not stop and flattened the entire thing. Then he folded the sheet into itself.
The process repeated a few times. The forging masters hoped for Shi Lang to fail but found that this guy was a terrifying genius. Old Man Huang was excitedly shivering as he saw Shi Lang shaping a blade.
