Versatile Mage: Invincible from the Fire of Disaster

Chapter 111 Forging Master

"Lin Ming, you passed the audition. This is your ID card."

Lin Ming took the ID card from the staff and breathed a sigh of relief.

He hesitated for a long time and finally decided to practice for a while. When he went out, he found that seven or eight people had already arrived outside.

Although I was in the first batch, I was at the end of the first batch and not very conspicuous.

After getting the ID card, you can leave. Lin Ming walked out of the gymnasium and found seven blacksmiths gathered at the door chatting.

Among them were the three people from Xing Jianle whom Lin Ming had met yesterday.

"Look, someone else is coming out!"

One of the fat men noticed Lin Ming and quickly pointed at him and said to the others.

Xing Jianle looked up and saw that it was Lin Ming, his eyes lit up slightly.

"Brother, long time no see! I'm Xing Jianle, we met yesterday!"

He raised his hand and waved towards Lin Ming.

After saying that, he immediately ran towards Lin Ming.

It seemed that he took the lead, and once he ran over, everyone followed him.

"I didn't expect your forging skills to be so high. It seems I was reckless yesterday. Please don't blame me."

He stretched out his hand, looked at Lin Ming and smiled.
"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Xing Jianle, and I'm a blacksmith."

Lin Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xing Jianle.

I ignored you yesterday, and now you come to me?

The fire mage is also a bit thick-skinned, giving off an inexplicable sense of being the protagonist.

It’s just that now it gives people the impression that they are trying hard to appear cultured.

But he didn't think much about it and shook hands with Xing Jianle.

"Hello, my name is Lin Ming, and I'm also a blacksmith."

"Haha, now the top ten forgers have been announced. I wonder if Brother Lin Ming is interested in joining my Godly Craftsman Gang!"

Xing Jianle looked at Lin Mingdao expectantly.

"The Divine Craftsman Gang?"

Lin Ming's mouth twitched slightly and he looked at him with some suspicion.

"Yes! I lead an organization composed of a group of talented blacksmiths. I believe that when the time comes, the blacksmiths behind me will be the ones who have agreed to join the exchange association. They are also the top ten in this audition!"

Xing Jianle looked at the people behind him and laughed.

Following his gaze, Lin Ming looked at the people behind him. There were six people in total, five young men who looked to be in their twenties, and one middle-aged man who looked to be around forty years old.

"It's the first ten people who come out."

Suddenly, another boy in the trio spoke up to correct him. He looked at Lin Ming seriously, as if he was worried that Lin Ming's judgment would be affected by this small misunderstanding.

"Haha, that's about right. They're all blacksmiths of the same level, and their refinement levels have basically reached the maximum. In the end, the ranking will definitely be determined by time! But you're still really attentive, Qingming!"

Xing Jianle patted his shoulder and smiled.

"Brother Lin Ming"

Xing Jianle looked at Lin Ming and asked.

"Sorry, I may not have much time."

Lin Ming immediately shook his head.

He didn't want to have too much contact with the disciples of the Forbidden Spell Master, nor did he want to join such a family-like organization.

After saying that, he left the stadium and walked towards the hotel.

"got rejected."

Xing Jianle said a little disappointedly.

But he quickly cheered up and looked at the remaining people, waved his hand and smiled.

"Now, the Divine Craftsman Gang is officially established!"

Soon, Lin Ming returned to the hotel and began to prepare for the next official competition.

Along with the identity card, there are also the rules and precautions of the official competition.

Lin Ming had already researched the rules early in the morning, but some precautions were still provided in more detail by the competition organizers.

The official competition is divided into two rounds. The first round is the preliminary round, which involves forging a fixed type of magic tool.

The competition organizers will provide raw materials and blueprints, and the contestants will forge magic tools according to the provided blueprints and materials. The top eight will be determined based on the final quality of their magic tools and advance to the next round. The second round is the finals, where the eight forgers will choose from the materials provided by the competition organizers and forge their magic tools.

The judges will rank the forged magic tools.

The top three will receive fire spirit seeds, qualification to enter the World Championship, and prize money of varying amounts.

At this moment, Lin Ming received another call from the official of the Blacksmith Conference.

"Due to the large number of blacksmiths who passed the auditions, after discussion with the Blacksmith Association, the president of the Blacksmith Association has decided to increase the champion's reward. The champion's reward will be upgraded to a Fire Soul Seed, qualification for the World Championship, and 200 million Chinese Yuan. The runner-up's reward will be changed to the original champion's reward, and the third place will be changed to the runner-up's reward, and so on."

After saying that, he decisively hung up the phone.

"Another change? What's going on with this Blacksmith Conference? It seems to be a good thing."

Lin Ming put down the phone and shook his head.

The Blacksmith Conference was originally a competition held by the blacksmith community itself. There were not so many rules and regulations, and it was basically based on the ideas of the association.

All the contestants were so happy about the increase in rewards that they couldn't contain themselves.

At the same time, the top leaders of the Blacksmith Association also gathered together, drinking tea and chatting.

"I have already notified them."

Howard looked at Zhan Xingtiandao.

"Ah."

Zhan Xingtian nodded without saying anything more.

"Xingtian, have you heard about the divine craftsman that Little Star created?"

Ni Zhi looked at Zhan Xingtian and smiled.

"Hmph! Not doing your job properly!"

Zhan Xingtian snorted coldly.

They were naturally aware of what happened in the gymnasium during the day.
"Hahaha, this little guy really has a lot on his mind. But if he doesn't focus on forging, it will be difficult for him to get a place in this year's World Championship. President, won't you do anything about it?"

Howard laughed.

"He's too proud. From the time he started learning forging until now, he's basically undefeated. He's unrivaled among his peers, and even at the intermediate level, he's already on the verge of becoming a commander-level forger."

Zhan Xingtian looked at Xing Jianle from afar and told him about Xing Jianle's growth experience with an expressionless face.

"But he's slacking off now. I don't know when it started, but he hasn't been focusing on forging like he used to. No matter how many times I try to correct him, it's been ineffective. Now it seems that I need to make him fail completely once before he wakes up!"

"But after watching the auditions, it seems that apart from that guy who suddenly appeared and died, basically no one has a chance to beat Xing Jianle." Howard shook his head.

"Yulin also participated in the competition this time."

Zhan Xingtian took a sip of tea and said coldly.

"Yulin? Fei Yulin? Isn't he already a master forger?"

Lu Qian said in surprise.

Fei Yulin is a blacksmith who just broke through to the commander-level blacksmith master realm not long ago. He is only in his thirties and can be considered a blacksmithing genius.

However, the association has regulations that forging masters are not allowed to participate in this forging conference.

"He just achieved a breakthrough not long ago and hasn't applied to the association for the title of Forging Master yet, so he can still participate."

Zhan Xingtian said lightly.

"Wouldn't that be unfair to others, after all?"

Lu Qian frowned slightly, but soon understood.

The original three rewards and quotas were expanded to four, and it was obvious that the extra one was prepared for Fei Yulin.

"It's really pitiful for these little guys, competing with the forging master."

Ni Zhi shook his head, his wrinkled face full of schadenfreude.

"Not necessarily. What if Jian Le also breaks through after feeling the pressure?"

Howard stroked his beard and smiled.

"hope so!"

Zhan Xingtian sneered.

Only Lu Qian frowned tightly. For some reason, she always felt that things were not that simple.
