Chapter 261 Xiaogang’s Talent
That’s what I thought, but the most real feeling in my heart was inexplicably complicated, a mixture of admiration and sourness.
I admire Ling Yi, who is only a few years older than him. Not only is his strength far superior to his own, he is also a superhuman in the research of herbal formulas. Now he has mastered forging and has reached the highest point of the blacksmith's path. , and became one of the current three great craftsmen in Douluo Continent!
The sourness is also because of these.
Obviously everyone is about the same age, why is it that they both have half-level innate soul power, but I am from the [Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Family], one of the top forces in the mainland, but they are like a loser, and the other party is so... Excellent? !
Yu Xiaogang stayed in "Gengxin City" for nearly half a year and joined the "Blacksmith Association" as a great soul master.
In the past six months, Yu Xiaogang has learned blacksmithing from Ah Gu, a master blacksmith in the association.
Just over two hours ago, Yu Xiaogang and other people in the same group who were learning forging participated in the unified intermediate blacksmith promotion assessment.
One hundred and twenty-three candidates, a total of 118 people successfully advanced.
Only five people failed the assessment. This success rate can be said to be quite good.
Yu Xiaogang is not one of those five people.
However, despite being successfully promoted, Yu Xiaogang still felt a sense of disappointment when he saw that his carefully crafted work was classified into the second grade among the four grades: A, B, C and D.
It is not the five D-levels who were eliminated, nor the twenty-eight C-levels who barely passed, nor the ten A-levels whose completion was rated as excellent, but the eighty B-levels with good standards. one!
This feeling of moderation made Yu Xiaogang feel very uncomfortable.
Although Teacher Ah Gu also said in his review that he was able to master the blacksmithing skills to the present level in five months, both talent and diligence are worthy of praise. Yes, most of the people who are stronger than me are because they have studied forging longer.
But...
'I'm still a little unwilling-'
At the north gate of "Gengxin City", Yu Xiaogang stopped, turned around, raised his head, and looked at the three people on the gate tower. Big characters, I thought silently in my heart.
‘Maybe, I am not suitable for forging~’
Shaking his head, Yu Xiaogang took steps again and walked towards the north.
"I don't know where the road is for me..."
A cool breeze blew by, and the cars and horses rustled on the official road. A whisper was drowned. Except for its owner, there was no one. Know.
……
Chengzhong District, [Blacksmiths Association General Assembly].
“Ah, Uncle Bones, I just got the news that Junior Brother Yu Xiaogang left without saying goodbye and left the city alone——”
Silong went up to the third floor, came to the assessment area, and whispered to Ah Gu.
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Ah Gu couldn't help but frown, but there was no look of surprise on his face. He just asked in a deep voice: "Alone?"
< br>"Yes, alone." Silong nodded, confirming.
“This kid——” Ah Gu shook his head and said: “Looking at his expression before, I knew that his heart had become unstable...but he actually walked alone, no matter what, he should be found A caravan is in the name, not only getting a salary, but also having someone to take care of you along the way——"
Regarding Yu Xiaogang's departure, Ah Gu was not surprised because he had foreseen it, but he had seen too many situations such as separation and reunification over the years. Yu Xiaogang's departure without saying goodbye had long been unable to let anything happen to him. Mood swings. "What a pity~"
Ah Gu walked up to the long table aside, reached out and picked up a short knife on the table. There are dozens of such daggers on the long table.
Holding the knife in his right hand, he pressed the thumb pad of his left hand slightly on the blade. An undetectable gray light flashed on the finger pad, blocking the cutting of the blade.
Seeing this scene, Silong showed a look of appreciation on his face and said, "Ah, Uncle Bone Master, is this the assessment work of Junior Brother Yu Xiaogang?"
"That's right." Ah Gu handed the short knife in his hand to Silong and commented at the same time: "This knife is medium in terms of toughness; medium in terms of sharpness; and it is still medium in terms of coordination!"
< br>"Among the intermediate blacksmiths, some are good at quenching, and their toughness can reach the highest level; some are good at hammering and grinding, and their sharpness can reach the highest level; some are good at shaping the structure of tools, making the user feel very comfortable..."
“Only when you can master all three of these and integrate them into one weapon can you be considered first-class among the same level!”
“This child’s talent in forging, Although he is not the best group, he is good at summarizing, step by step, and walks very smoothly..."
"Although he is in the second class, I would rate him at fifth. Sixteen, but I believe that as long as he persists, he is likely to be the eleventh person among this batch of candidates who can reach the level of blacksmith!"
"What a pity~"
Having said this, Ah Gu shook his head, and then continued: "This kid always holds a lot of energy in his heart, always thinking about becoming the best among his peers.
But sometimes, talent cannot be changed by hard work..."
Silong: "..."
Silong is speechless, he has seen it before Ling Yi has a super god (craftsman) level talent, and he has met Tang Hao, who has a god (craftsman) level talent. He knows that there are some things in this world, and it is better not to be too persistent.
Otherwise, in the end, you will only be the one who feels uncomfortable.
“Forget it—” Ah Gu took the short knife from Si Long’s hand, put it back on the table, and said lightly: “That kid has been diligent in learning and asking questions in the past six months. Many senior blacksmiths , even the Thousand Forging Level skills and metal smelting experience, I told him
If he is willing to continue on the path of forging, he will naturally continue to practice with his talent. It will take at least ten years of study and polishing to be able to digest those contents...
If he doesn’t want to, that’s his own choice——”
“A Yi said, don’t Feel free to make decisions for others, but we must respect other people’s choices.”
"If the [Blacksmith Association] wants to develop and not be hostile to other forces, it needs to develop a development strategy that is different from other forces."
"An open force that allows students to come and go A free 'academic' force, a force that can provide talent training for all parties, is the way out for our [Blacksmith Association]."
"A Yi is right. One day, the entire Douluo will be destroyed. Among all the forces on the mainland, there are students from our [Blacksmith Association], so there is no difference between us and [Martial Soul Hall]."
"Although there may still be a huge difference in high-end combat power. Although the place is different, in terms of influence across the continent, it is able to achieve extraordinary transcendence."
Listening to Ah Gu's narration, Silong looked excited, even though Ling Yi was not here, his There was still a look of respect and admiration on his face.
at the same time.
On another street about seven or eight hundred meters away from the [Blacksmiths Association Headquarters], Liu Erlong and his daughter had just walked into a hotel and were preparing to make some repairs.
Continue tomorrow night, good night everyone~
