Chapter 164: Displaying Error Tolerance?

Hearing the thunderous cheers,

the remaining nine Forging Masters all had complex expressions.

Looking at this array, anyone who didn't know would think that guy named Ou Yezi had already won the championship.

Was there any need to be this excited?

Especially Murong Chen, who at this moment felt his gums aching all over.

If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have shot his mouth off and uttered those harsh words just now.

Now look at this, his old face had lost all its dignity.

For no reason, he had also gained an extra Master.

The moment he thought about having to kowtow and acknowledge a brash kid as his Master,

Murong Chen's mentality collapsed a little bit.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the hammer in his hand grew a bit heavier.

As a result, the next second.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound.

The equipment he was forging in his hands suddenly exploded.

Now his mentality completely collapsed.

Not just Murong Chen, the mentalities of the other Forging Masters were also more or less affected.

Level eighteen and already able to forge level fifty equipment?

Where the hell was the logic in that?

It was already a bit beyond the cognitive scope of these Forging Masters.

The most crucial part was that that kid had clearly failed three times.

Yet his forging progress was actually faster than theirs, seasoned Great Masters.

Now, Ou Yezi's first piece of equipment had already been successfully forged.

While they, even that Nakamura Shinichiro, had yet to finish.

Just as everyone harbored different thoughts,

Ou Yezi on the competition grounds, however, made a move that shocked everyone.

He picked up the pair of combat boots that had just been successfully forged and examined them closely for a moment.

Then he frowned,

seeming not quite satisfied with the quality of these combat boots.

The next second,

amidst everyone's stunned gazes,

he casually threw the hard-earned, successfully forged combat boots onto the ground,

and quickly picked up a new batch of Materials, starting the forging process all over again.

"Holy shit!"

"He… he threw that pair of boots away?"

"Did I read that right? That's level fifty equipment!"

Inside the live stream room, the bullet comments instantly exploded.

[Th… What kind of operation is this? Not satisfied?]

[Damn! We don't understand the world of bigwigs. Equipment that was forged with such difficulty can just be thrown away like that?]

[Too showy! Simply the king of show-offs!]

[Are you kidding me! He still has time to start over?]

On the competition grounds, Ou Yezi turned a deaf ear to the outside discussions.

He once again threw himself into focused forging.

Although he failed twice more afterwards,

his forging success rate was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, another pair of combat boots was forged out.

Not satisfied.

Throw it away.

The third pair.

Not satisfied.

Continue throwing.

Until he forged the fifth pair of combat boots did a trace of satisfaction finally appear on his face.

He placed the final successful combat boots on the forging table and swept the other four failed items onto the ground all at once, just like throwing away trash.

At this, everyone was stunned by this operation of his.

Not only could he forge level fifty equipment,

but he also had surplus time to forge more pieces for selection.

What was this called?

Displaying error tolerance?

Comparing people to people really infuriates one.

At this time, a full eight hours had passed since the start of the competition.

Most forgers had already begun forging their third piece of equipment.

Nakamura Shinichiro, with the fastest progress, had even started working on the fourth piece.

Only Ou Yezi had just completed the first piece.

The audience at the scene and in the live stream room all began to worry for him.

[Big brother, stop messing with those boots! Hurry up and forge other equipment!]

[Exactly! A third of the time has already passed. If you don't hurry, it'll be too late!]

[Sigh, he's still too young and pursues perfection too much. Going on like this, he's going to lose!]

However, Ou Yezi still maintained an indifferent appearance.

He picked up the blueprint for the handguards and began forging the second piece of equipment.

Perhaps having absorbed a massive amount of experience from the previous forging,

this time when forging the handguards, he did it almost in one go.

Without a single failure.

He consecutively forged three more pairs of handguards, selected the most perfect one among them, and only then began forging the third piece of equipment.

And this time, the time he spent was greatly reduced,

taking only three hours.

Just like that, time went from daytime to night,

and from night to daytime again.

Despite undergoing up to nineteen hours of forging,

the enthusiasm of the onlookers in the square remained undiminished.

Even quite a few people directly pitched tents in the square, preparing to watch the battle through the night.

At this moment, most forgers had reached the stage of crafting their final piece of equipment.

The equipment they completed was placed one by one on the forging tables.

Only Ou Yezi was different from the rest.

On his table, four pieces of equipment were neatly placed.

But on the ground there was still a huge pile of equipment, placed messily by him.

A rough count showed at least seventeen or eighteen pieces.

In terms of equipment quantity, he had long since far crushed the other nine Forging Masters.

Just at this moment,

"Ding——!"

On the competition grounds, the first crisp bell ring sounded.

Someone had already completed the forging work for all equipment.

Everyone looked sideways, with not a trace of surprise on their faces.

It was none other than that Forging Master from Sakura Country, Nakamura Shinichiro.

At this moment, a confident and calm smile hung on his face.

Although he was likewise shocked that Ou Yezi could forge so many level 50 equipment,

so what?

After all, this wasn't a match that could be won by the quantity of equipment.

Ever since he successfully forged that level sixty Epic battle axe,

the ending of this match had no suspense left.

He believed that no one could surpass him.

There were only the final five hours left.

The forging of the other few Forging Masters was also coming to an end.

Only Ou Yezi's final weapon was just beginning.

And it was even that highest-difficulty Legendary-grade weapon considered impossible to complete by everyone!

[Kingslayer's Edge]!

At this moment, the gazes of all the audience at the scene simultaneously focused on this young forger,

holding their breath, eagerly looking forward to it.

Even the camera teacher responsible for the live stream very sensibly locked the main lens firmly onto Ou Yezi, not leaving for a single moment.

Right at this moment, no one doubted his strength anymore.

Everyone just wanted to see whether this Great Master Ou Yezi, who repeatedly brought shock and surprise to everyone,

could once again create a miracle.

Great Xia Country had truly not birthed a Forging Master capable of forging Legendary-quality equipment for a very, very long time.

In everyone's hearts, from the initial negation and ridicule,

to gradually wavering,

and now, a trace of expectation faintly sprouted deep inside their hearts.

Could he really do it?

Under the spotlight of everyone's attention,

Ou Yezi took a deep breath, his expression becoming incomparably focused.

He meticulously organized the Materials needed on the blueprint and placed them classified within easy reach.

Every single action was filled with a sense of ritual,

as if what he was about to do next wasn't forging,

but rather conducting a sacred ritual.

Finally, he picked up that most core piece of Materials—[Azure Mysterious Demon Iron].

Throwing it into the blazing forging furnace,

the forging of his first Legendary-quality equipment officially began!
