Chapter 353 Various Distinguished Figures Gather

Ou Yangming glanced at them and said coldly, “The two of you may stay here.”

He was on a tight schedule, so he could not bother arguing with them. Since they were willing to help, he could save a lot of effort.

“Brother Chen, what’s your expertise?” Ou Yangming asked after some thought.

Chen Yihe’s eyes lit up, and he immediately answered, “Brother Ou, I’m adept in merging more than two different materials to present their greatest strength.”

Being an Advanced Blacksmith, he definitely knew more than that, but he only told Ou Yangming about his best skill. As for his other skills, he did not have the guts to bring them up. Ou Yangming nodded and casually retrieved two materials. One was the popularized featured steel while the other one was a soft material.

“Brother Chen, combine them and show me later.”

Chen Yihe accepted the materials with a serious face. He was somewhat excited but nervous at the same time. Ou Yangming had just given him a test, and he would be qualified as an assistant if the young fellow was satisfied with his melting skill.

On the opposite, if his work could not get Ou Yangming’s approval, although he was related to Chen Yifan, he would be too embarrassed to stay here. Even if Ou Yangming would not judge him, he would become a laughing stock among the blacksmiths in the capital.

Chen Yihe took a deep breath and slowly looked up. The burning Military Fire was released from his hands, allowing him to fuse the two materials. He did everything carefully as he was afraid of making mistakes, and he was more serious and meticulous than when he participated in the Advanced Blacksmith Assessment in the past.

“What about you? What’s your expertise?” Ou Yangming turned to ask.

Even though Xing Zhengyang was much older than him, he did not raise the question politely. Nonetheless, Xing Zhengyang did not react strangely as if everything was expected.

“Master Ou, I’m an expert in the Suit Skill,” Xing Zhengyang answered. When he recalled Ou Yangming’s performance earlier, he quickly added, “Of course, I’m still far from you in that

aspect.”

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “Master Xing, I’m not as amazing as you think I am.”

He was being honest because he was not as great as Xing Zhengyang in the study of runes. It was just that the veined patterns, which were derived in reverse, had surpassed the world’s limit, hence they seemed profound to Xing Zhengyang

Nevertheless, Xing Zhengyang was unaware of that. His face changed, and he responded with reverence and humility while putting his hands on the side of his legs, “Master Ou, you’re being too humble. Please assign a task to me.” Ou Yangming shook his head helplessly and looked around before he said, “I’ll give you a rune; carve it on a gem.” Following that, he reached out for a gem and used his Military Fire to create a rune on it.

He did not spend too much time on the process, but Xing Zhengyang-an Advanced Blacksmith-widened his eyes when he received the gem. The blacksmith seemed to have entered a huge land of fantasy, where he became extremely immersed in it.

Ou Yangming grinned when he looked at the two Advanced Blacksmiths, who were in worlds of their own at the moment. He retrieved another material and constructed an idea in his head, then he was ready to smith.

Just then, two individuals walked out from the crowd and bowed at him. “Master Ou, we’d like to assist you too. Can we have the opportunity?”

The young fellow was dumbfounded, and he could not help but laugh. “Master Feng, Master Yi, are you kidding me?” Feng Guangyuan and Yi Yucheng were the ones who showed up. Ou Yangming did not expect the two experienced Advanced Blacksmiths to come out at all.

The two blacksmith masters looked at each other with straight faces. “Master Ou, I’m skilled in layering Agility attributes and have special experience in the refinement of gold-thread clothes. Please set a task for me.” Yi Yucheng saluted the young fellow.

Feng Guangyuan hesitated before he noted, “I have some experience in the Gem Embedding Art. I’m not as proficient at it as you are, but I can handle the basics. Please test me.” He bowed as well.

The blacksmith masters humbled themselves, but everyone else knew they were way more capable than they claimed to be.

“Since you’re willing to help, I can’t ask for more.” Ou Yangming sighed after a moment of hesitation. He pondered and arranged different tasks for the two blacksmiths.

Despite that, right after he settled affairs with the two Advanced Blacksmiths, several people walked out from the crowd again.

Ou Yangming was either strange or familiar with those people, but without exception, they were Advanced Blacksmiths from the capital. When those reputable figures came out together, they caused a sensation bigger than a Superior Blacksmith would.

They approached Ou Yangming and modestly made the same requests.

The young fellow was undecided, and he wondered for some time. He later asked each of them their expertise and decided to assign corresponding tasks for them according to their strengths.

Regardless of their intentions, the blacksmiths curbed their thoughts and focused on their smithing tasks. It was
