Supreme Lord of the Earth - C283
Gu Tian was complaining, and all the spectators started to shout.
“We are here to watch you forge artifacts! It’s not about classics! What the hell? “Don’t you find it troublesome?”
“Stop playing tricks, okay? Let them have a good competition, but after the wife cooks dinner, she’ll wait for me to return home to eat! ”
Gu Tian took this opportunity to add: “If you want me to make a tool, it’s fine to think of something good. It’s all based on inspiration. That’s a matter of you scholars. I am just a craftsman. I would rather die than go! ”
Seeing his character, Meng Kang could only nod his head and agree to go up in his stead.
Prince Xuan was indifferent to the waiters below, they did not even bat an eyelid.
One of the officials from work department stood up and patiently explained: “Objects is a tradition of our work department. When every assistant minister takes office, he has to look at the items in the warehouse for three days.
After all this time, it turned out to be the work department’s tradition. In the past, Assistant Minister of Industry had always been born with the background of a scholar, so understanding things wasn’t too rare. Now that the four families wanted to fight for the position of Assistant Minister of Industry, they naturally had to follow the customs of this world.
Not long later, Gu Longyin, Xu Maobing, Wu Qingyuan and Meng Kang stood in front of Prince Xuan.
Seeing that Team Dreamsky was not being led by Gu Tian, but was instead being replaced by the Doctor Meng, the crowd was once again filled with cursing.
The Doctor Meng was extremely popular in the Shanghai City. Amongst the people who came to watch the competition today, whether it was the influential families or the commoners, even if they had never seen the Doctor Meng before, they had heard of his name and knew that he was representing his friends in the war.
In the time it took an incense stick to burn, the four master craftsman s focused on the four pieces of ingredients and did not miss a single detail.
“Time’s up!” Who wants to go first? ”
The work department official announced.
Meng Kang did not move, his eyebrows knitted together tightly, as though he had not yet recovered from the state of mind of the object.
This person had a lot of experience in crafting artifacts, so he had a lot of inspirations, but in terms of knowledge, he was not much different from Gu Tian. He did not know what was going on, so he took his own life first.
Gu Longyin still maintained his confident look, but just as he was about to speak, Xu Maobing answered him first: “I am a crude person, let me be the first to lead the way!”
He never thought that Xu Maobing, who came from a military background, would be the first to answer this question. The entire audience gradually quieted down as everyone listened to his answer.
This seven foot tall man had a dignified air, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he had a strong demeanor, and said calmly: “I see that this wood spirit’s heart contains vitality, and has a continuous flow of water. Thus, I think of the flowing water, water conserves all living things, and if there is no competition, then I will not be defeated. Therefore, I will use this idea to forge a weapon. Let’s just say that there are so many of them! ”
After Xu Maobing finished speaking, many people present sank into deep thought.
The reasoning behind his words was very simple, but also very crude. It was just like his style of doing things; simple and straightforward. It caused one to be unable to help themselves from anticipating what kind of weapon he would create along the way.
After Xu Maobing finished speaking, Wu Qingyuan also impatiently said: “This piece of Star Black Iron of our Wu Clan is from the Northern Sea Pendant Star Abyss. This piece of metal is extremely hard, just like the might of our Great Halberd Sect. I want to use it to forge a peerless divine weapon, and display its tenacity to the extreme! ”
These words of Wu Qingyuan really didn’t seem to be anything impressive, and practically echoed what Xu Maobing had said just now. Other than the last sentence, which he relied on his craftsman’s intuition, he was able to directly point out what was real.
A few of the officials of work department nodded, indicating for the two of them to pass.
At this time, Gu Longyin smiled elegantly at Meng Kang, and said: “Doctor Meng, do you want to go first or should I?”
This person seemed elegant and humble like a jade. He still maintained his poise when dealing with his opponent, but only a few people could tell that he was intentionally throwing out questions, interrupting their thoughts.
Because Meng Kang was different from the other three, he was still stunned on the spot.
Therefore, Meng Kang did not answer Gu Longyin’s question.
“Then let me answer the questions first! Brother Meng should still be here for a while! ”
Gu Longyin smiled.
“Earth Mai Kui Jin is formed from the essence energy of five mountains and is as thick as a mountain! I can see the will to consume emanating out from it! Swallowing the world, mountains and rivers, gathering the Sun and Moon’s essence energy — this was the path of a martial practitioner! Using this thing to make a weapon should be the most suitable weapon for a martial artist to swallow.
After Gu Longyin finished speaking, a few officials of the work department stood up at the same time and stared at him.
Prince Xuan also leaned forward a little, moving closer to him.
“This child has such a perceptive nature, it would be unfair for a mere Assistant Minister of Industry to have him! Gu Longyin, if you can win the competition, this king can only allow you to stay in the position of Assistant Minister of Industry for two whole years, so I can send you straight into the elite army camp, okay? ”
When Prince Xuan’s words landed in the crowd, it was like a few thunderclaps in the clear sky, causing people’s eardrums to go numb, causing all kinds of hatred and jealousy to grow in many people’s hearts.
The elite army camp was one of the places that made people grind their teeth.
It was said that the battalion possessed the most excellent cultivation resources in the entire Big Halberd Dynasty, as well as numerous secret martial arts skills. There was an abundant supply of elixirs and elixirs, and even the lowest ranked warrior would be able to improve his martial arts by leaps and bounds.
Some people said that the elite army was the true divine tool to determine the future of the entire Halberd Dynasty and the human race. After the allied armies fought off the demons in the past, they agreed that in order to prevent the demons from invading the earth once again, all the clans would gather and nurture the most outstanding heavenly materials, and would even exchange them for martial arts and resources.
This army of elite warriors could only move out when the Demon race descended again. They couldn’t be used in wars between different races, or else they would be attacked by all other races.
These four forbidden grounds carried the strongest military power of the human race, demon race, Mountain Giant race, and barbarian race. These were the last few Mainland China’s army that were qualified to enter the elite army to protect the Demon race. Compared to becoming a Assistant Minister of Industry, they were much stronger.
After receiving the praise from the Prince Xuan, Gu Longyin just smiled slightly, his emotions did not fluctuate much, showing how terrifying his control over himself was.
With Gu Longyin’s pearl in front of them, the spectators around them had already received a large enough attack, and were no longer interested in the items within the Doctor Meng.
Looking ahead, Meng Kang was still deep in thought. His eyes shone with a serious light, and no change in his expression could be seen.
“Meng Kang, do you want to say something?”
A work department official asked.
Meng Kang did not move an inch and turned a deaf ear.
Seeing that he didn’t reply, everyone started to discuss among themselves.
“What happened to Doctor Meng? Fool? Stupid? Or are you pretending to be stupid? ”
“Sigh!” You! Don’t say that you can see through it! I am a Godly Doctor, not a craftsman, and the fact that I have an item in my possession is not a big deal. It’s normal, it’s completely normal! ”
“I think he thinks he can’t beat the first three. He’s wasting his time here!”
“Exactly! Even though this wasn’t his domain, he still dared to charge in despite courting death. This was too embarrassing! “In terms of medical skills, I admire him. But in terms of refining, what kind of person would he be?!”
“Gu Tian that bastard is also a piece of trash! Seeing his good friend in a daze, he didn’t dare to help him! “Trash is trash!”
For a moment, all of the wind commentators were scolding Meng Kang and Gu Tian.
“Meng Kang, do you have something to say?”
The work department official asked again.
Seeing that Meng Kang was still not moving, and did not say a word, the official then added, “If you have nothing to say, then just treat it as your Dream Sky Battle Team losing in this stage and forfeiting, and quitting the competition!”
Before he finished speaking, Gu Tian shouted loudly: “Hey! Are you sure?! The time taken to burn the incense was not over yet! He was thinking, thinking! You don’t need to think about it! Quitting? Back off your mom’s competition! ”
Gu Tian’s shout immediately incurred the wrath of the masses, and the curses were like a tide.
Meng Kang was clearly pretending to be in a daze, but this Gu Tian actually dared to be so arrogant, even daring to criticize them, these two fellows were truly in a mess.
Gu Longyin smiled as he glanced at Meng Kang, then glanced at Gu Tian, as a complacent expression emerged on his face.
“The time for one incense stick to burn is up!” Brother Meng, you must be tired. Go and rest first! ”
Although Gu Longyin’s voice wasn’t loud, it perfectly blocked Gu Tian’s roar.
You said that the time wasn’t up yet and your friend is still thinking. Now that the time has come, it’s time for the both of you to leave!
Just as Gu Longyin had said, the time had already reached its end and the incense fell to the ground.
Amongst the crowd, all of the sons of White Deer Institute revealed unwillingness on their faces. They were all worried for Meng Kang, and that princess of the Beijing Alliance was also worried that they should treat Meng Kang as their opponent. However, they couldn’t help but become more and more worried.
Right after the final hurdle, amidst everyone’s anxious, uneasy, mocking, and disdainful emotions, Meng Kang’s eyes regained its clarity. He first stretched his neck, and then stretched lazily.
Seeing that he had finally made his move, the spectators in the surroundings gradually quieted down.
Including the three master craftsman s, all of their gazes were fixated on him.
“My neck is aching! I was lost in thought just now, sorry! ”
Meng Kang laughed.
The work department official glared at him shamelessly and said, “Heavenly Dream Squad, what do you think of your items?”
Meng Kang yawned, looking tired, he shook his head and said: “I am not able to deduce anything from this Haoqi stone.”
Once he said this, the crowd went into an uproar again.
