After learning about the competition between Ouyang Ming and Ni Yinghong, Kang Weibo had already made preparations.
Not to mention ordinary selected iron ingots and fine steel, he also has a lot of special materials. However, when he heard Ouyang Ming name Jingang, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, if these two masters talk nonsense and talk about some weird materials, they are too clever to make a fool of themselves. Embarrassment is a small thing. If he leaves a useless impression in front of Deng Zhicai, that will be the real end.
Looking at the pieces of steel ingots and the rows of precious ores, Ouyang Ming secretly sighed in his heart.
Although he has never been restricted or made things difficult by Conwaybo regarding materials since he became an arms forger, he has never seen so many precious ores at one time. From this, it can be seen that the richness of the military camp is actually far beyond his imagination.
Ni Yinghong stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Ou, let me show off my shame first, how about that?"
Ouyang Ming was quite surprised. He originally thought that both sides started forging at the same time. However, judging from Ni Yinghong's attitude, it seems that he wants to make a distinction. However, the risk for those who forge first is a little greater.
Of course, if the performance of the previous person is too outstanding, it will also cause huge psychological pressure on the newcomers, leading to abnormal performance in the end.
However, generally speaking, it seems that those who forge first will suffer a little. However, looking at Ni Yunhong's confident smile, Ouyang Ming really didn't dare to take it lightly.
"Master Ni, please!"
Ni Yunhong was not polite. He glanced around and selected two steel ingots.
The faces of Old Carpenter and others who were watching silently not far away changed slightly. Luo Shentong whispered: "This man's eyesight is really shocking!"
Ouyang Ming didn't know the details of the equipment camp, but old people like them naturally knew it. In fact, they had placed these steel ingots on the steel plate in advance and then sent people to lift them up.
They clearly remember the placement of each steel ingot.
The two steel ingots selected by Ni Yunhong are very similar in quality. It can even be said that they are both products from the same furnace, and they are the best and most matched ones.
At a glance, he can select the best raw materials. This alone is enough to prove that Ni Yunhong is by no means a wasted person.
There was a flash of fire, and spiritual fire suddenly appeared in Ni Yunhong's hand.
Although spiritual fire and munitions do not belong to the same system, when it comes to functions and effects, they are actually almost the same.
Perhaps because he was in the public eye, Ni Yunhong's forging speed was extremely fast. Not long after, a piece of armor appeared in his hand like magic.
There was a sudden murmur of whispers below.
Although everyone knows that arms blacksmiths can forge equipment much faster than ordinary blacksmiths. However, such incredible speed is something that many people have never seen before.
The old carpenter and others were insiders. After seeing Ni Yunhong's nearly perfect forging process, everyone except the old carpenter lost confidence in Ouyang Ming.
This time, Yu Hailiang and others returned from the dense forest and hunted a powerful half-elf beast. It is said that a type of explosive arrow forged by Ouyang Ming played a key role and thus won the first place in meritorious service.
If this competition was about exploding arrows or some kind of kit-kat weapon, Ouyang Ming might be able to win with exploding arrows.
However, there is no trickery in this kind of honest forging of a complete set of equipment. After learning that Ouyang Ming had obtained arms for only a few months, no one would think highly of him anymore.
Ni Yunhong put down his armor and took a few steps back.
Zheng Ziwen and Ni Yinghong stepped forward, inspected it carefully for a moment, and said, "High-grade fifth-level armor."
Ouyang Ming was quite surprised. It was not unusual to use fine steel to refine high-grade equipment. There is no shortage of such characters among the arms forgers in the military camp. However, it is not easy to directly forge steel ingots into high-grade peak fifth level.
Even the old craftsman dare not say that it can be done.
"Master Ou, please!" Ni Yunhong said in a deep voice.
Ouyang Ming nodded slowly, stepped forward, glanced at the many steel ingots, and casually took out two adjacent ones.
After seeing his selection, many arms blacksmiths couldn't help but frown slightly. They share weal and woe with Ouyang Ming, so naturally they will not secretly cause trouble. However, they have all seen that Ouyang Ming is inferior to his opponent in the selection of materials.
The munitions flashed instantly, and the steel ingot melted quickly and took shape in Ouyang Ming's hands.
In fact, according to Ouyang Ming's usual speed, he could definitely go slower. However, since Ni Yunhong can quickly refine it, he will not be inferior to his opponent.
Sure enough, in just a short moment, a pair of armor of the same size took shape.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Ouyang Ming's mouth, and he put the armor down flatly.
After Ouyang Ming understood the way of unity between man and nature, he could easily forge top-grade equipment even without using the purple power in his mind. However, it is not that easy to reach the fifth level of the top level peak.
Therefore, he finally used the hidden power to push this armor to the top level of 15 points.
Zheng Ziwen glanced at Ouyang Ming in surprise. He knew that this boy was very good at appraisal, but he never thought that his ability in forging seemed to be no less good.
Looking at the armor carefully, Zheng Ziwen's expression became serious after a moment.
"Master Zheng, how is the quality of this armor?" Wang Zhongtong couldn't help shouting.
Zheng Ziwen hesitated for a moment and said: "High-grade fifth-level armor."
Everyone was suddenly in an uproar again, which was incomparable to the whispers just now.
High-grade armor is already rare, and it is even more so when it comes to the fifth level of peak-grade armor. However, today they not only saw two pieces, but they were also forged in such a short period of time. For ordinary sergeants, such a thing is extremely exciting.
Wang Zhongtong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So, this game is a draw?"
Zheng Ziwen thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, Master Ni is better."
"What?" Everyone below was startled and couldn't help shouting.
This is because there are three generals in the army who are in charge, and the sergeants dare not act recklessly. Otherwise, he would have had the impatience to come to power and seek justice with his fists.
In any case, Ouyang Ming was an arms forger trained by himself in the military camp. In the minds of many sergeants, he was completely different from Ni Yunhong.
Chen Yifan said in a deep voice: "Master Zheng, can we know the reason?"
"Okay." Zheng Ziwen breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Although these two pieces of armor are both high-grade and fifth-grade, in terms of materials, the one made by Master Ni seems to be more durable, so I judge it like this. He paused and said, "If you were given the choice, would you choose the more durable one or the less durable one?"
Ouyang Ming's heart moved slightly. Although the armor he refined had 15 points of hardness, its durability was only 13 points.
For some reason, these durability points cannot be absorbed and improved, which is also Ouyang Ming's biggest shortcoming.
However, after the quality reaches top grade, few people can tell one or two differences in durability. However, under Zheng Ziwen's fiery eyes, he could not hide it this time.
Ouyang Ming sighed, and when he was about to perform the second forging, he heard a crisp sound.
"Wait a minute."
Everyone looked in surprise and saw Ni Yinghong coming on stage and looking over the two pieces of armor. Then, she said: "Master Zheng, this round of competition should be evenly divided."
"Why?" Zheng Ziwen said displeasedly: "You can't do this on purpose because of your brother." He said seriously: "We appraisers are sincere people. No matter what the circumstances, we can't do it because of our feelings." You have lost your independence. This round, it’s your brother’s turn to win.”
However, Ni Yinghong shook his head slightly and said: "Master Zheng, I did not judge it to be a draw because of this relationship." She said without hesitation: "You should have seen it just now. My brother took the lead and selected all the best steel ingots. That's why he was able to forge the best high-grade fifth-grade equipment. Master Ou just randomly selected two steel ingots and made the top-grade fifth-grade armor. Although the durability was slightly lower, it was only what those two steel ingots could achieve. The limit. So, I think this round is a draw.”
Zheng Ziwen was stunned, and there was silence below.
No one thought that Ni Yinghong could say such words.
After a while, Zheng Ziwen finally said: "It makes sense, this round should be settled as a draw."
Wang Zhongtong and others were surprised and delighted. Although Ni Yunhong had a brilliant vision, Ouyang Ming seemed to be superior in forging skills. Inexplicably, they couldn't help but look at each other, and there was a thought in their hearts that they didn't dare to think about.
Perhaps Ouyang Ming is really qualified to compete with him.
Ni Yunhong laughed dumbly. Although he was denied by his own sister, he did not feel any resentment at all. Because he knows that since the little sister has chosen this path, she will continue to walk unswervingly.
In this process, she was absolutely selfless, and even her closest eldest brother could not even hope to gain any benefit.
I sighed secretly in my heart, it seemed that ordinary methods could no longer defeat Ouyang Ming.
Stepping forward, he said: "Now that the analysis is complete, let's start again." He selected an iron ingot, gestured carefully, and said: "Master Ou, what I want to forge this time is a pair of leggings. "
As the spiritual fire flashed, the leggings quickly took shape, and at this moment, Ni Yunhong picked up a piece of ore and threw it into it.
