Chapter 208 Qin Emperor: I Am Invincible (2)

If he joined the Huaxia Pavilion, he would be able to forge and do miscellaneous chores. He would be good as a head steward!

“Marquis, I’m willing to join the Huaxia Pavilion. Can you impart your star fixing technique to me?” another Forging Master in the team suddenly said.

“You?” Zhou Shu glanced at this person. “When the Huaxia Pavilion officially opens, you can register. If you can pass, you can join.”

This person: “…” Why is the treatment different?

Why doesn’t Shi Songtao have to apply?

He glanced at Shi Songtao.

Shi Songtao noticed his gaze and puffed out his chest proudly.

Are you kidding me? Are you comparing yourself with me?

No matter what, I, Shi Songtao, am the previous Great Xia’s number one forging genius. Although you have some skill, you’re still far off compared to me!

Shi Songtao flicked his hair and walked proudly into the group.

As Zhou Shu deliberately sped up, everyone quickly reached the next checkpoint.

At this time, the challengers from the other nations were still racking their brains for the fourth checkpoint.

The fifth checkpoint was to repair damaged weapons.

This checkpoint allowed Zhou Shu to faintly sense something. But after carefully studying the nine damaged weapons provided by Great Qin, he still couldn’t figure out what they had to do with Great Qin’s imperial cauldron. It wasn’t too difficult to repair the nine damaged weapons. As long as one had some skill, they would be able to do it.

If it was only at this level, then Great Qin’s imperial cauldron would have long been repaired by Great Qin’s forgers.

But even Wang Xin didn’t know the exact situation. With the information Zhou Shu currently possessed, he was unable to deduce the final situation.

Zhou Shou didn’t continue to take part in the fifth checkpoint. Instead, he handed it over to Shi Songtao and the other Forging Masters.

As long as it didn’t involve star positioning, Shi Songtao and the others were still very fast.

After they successfully passed the fifth checkpoint, the other challengers were still nowhere to be seen.

Zhou Shu didn’t wait for them.

He knew that there was no chance for him to gain anything from the other challengers for the checkpoints ahead.

The sixth checkpoint was also to repair weapons. But it had gone from standard weapons to ranked weapons. For standard weapons, as long as the weapon body was repaired, it was fine.

Ranked weapons involved the repair of the star paths.

It was just like people. External injuries were easy to treat, but once their meridians were damaged, the difficulty of treating them was on a completely different level.

Meng Bai was a second-rank expert, yet he became old and weak. Wasn’t it precisely because his meridians were damaged that his cultivation completely disappeared?

The star paths of ranked weapons were similar to the meridians of the human body. Furthermore, they were even more complicated. After all, although the human body was different, it was made up of muscles and bones.

But the forging materials of weapons were different. Different forging materials resulted in different structures. Each of them was unique. Naturally, the ‘meridians’ would not be identical.

Theoretically speaking, the cost of repairing a defective ranked weapon was greater than forging a new one.

But this was a challenge, so there was naturally no need to consider the cost.

In any case, Great Qin handled all the costs. At the sixth checkpoint, it became apparent how capable everyone was. Great Xia’s Forging Masters had all been carefully selected. Among Great Xia’s Forging Masters, they were the more skilled ones.

But compared to former Great Xia’s former number one Forging Master, Shi Songtao, the difference was obvious.

When the other Forging Masters were at a loss as to what to do, Shi Songtao had already found a direction and began to attempt to repair it.

Seeing that Shi Songtao was able to resolve the issue, Zhou Shu was happy not to have to do anything.

After a bit of effort, with Zhou Shu’s help, Shi Songtao successfully solved the problem at the sixth checkpoint. Everyone continued forward with momentum.

Just as the people of Great Xia were clearing the checkpoints, the relevant information had already been sent to the Qin emperor in the Great Qin imperial palace.

In the imperial study, the Qin emperor sat behind a desk.

He still looked pale, but he was no longer as pale as before.

In front of him stood a court official surnamed Xu.

“Great Xia’s forging techniques were once glorious for an era. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Their young generation of Forging Masters is really quite skilled.”

The Qin emperor asked, “Xu Qing, have you gotten any inspiration from these people?”

Although the performance of the people from Great Xia was a little stunning, the Qin emperor wasn’t surprised.

After all, the Qin emperor was very clear about the design of the nine checkpoints. There were some difficulties, but the difficulty was not high.

After all, it was only the qualifiers. If the difficulty was too great, it would easily arouse suspicion.

The middle-aged man surnamed Xu shook his head slightly and sighed. “I took it for granted previously.”

“It’s not your fault.” The Qin emperor shook his head. “If it was so easy to repair the imperial cauldron, I wouldn’t have to spend so much effort.”

“Your Majesty, the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament is imminent. If the imperial cauldron can’t be repaired, then…” the middle-aged man surnamed Xu said worriedly.

“It’s fine.” The Qin emperor waved his hand and said in a deep voice, “Even without the imperial cauldron, I am still invincible!”

“Your Majesty is mighty.” The middle-aged man surnamed Xu bowed.

“Your Majesty, the imperial cauldron has been damaged. What if it won’t last until the Martial Arts Tournament…” The middle-aged man surnamed Xu still looked worried.

“Don’t worry,” the Qin emperor said in a low voice. “It won’t be a big problem for the imperial cauldron to last through the Martial Arts Tournament.

“Since it’s impossible to repair the imperial cauldron, there’s no need to waste your energy on it.” “Xu Qing, think of a way to let the Martial Arts Tournament be held in Great Xia.”

“Your Majesty, why is that?” the middle-aged man asked. “You don’t need to know why. Just do as you’re told,” the Qin emperor said.

Compared to Emperor Yuan Feng’s gentleness, the Qin emperor was simply overbearing! “Actually, there’s no need for me to do anything,” the middle-aged man surnamed Xu replied. “That You Marquis of Great Xia is so skilled that even I can’t tell how skilled he is. The other nations won’t be able to defeat him.” Although the Qin emperor was worried about the imperial cauldron, he still asked curiously, “Is he really that strong?”

“Half of the top ten weapons in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual were forged by him,” the middle-aged man surnamed Xu said. “When he creates black, earth, and even heaven-grade weapons, there will probably be another battle in the armament manuals.

“At least, in my opinion, no one among the younger generation of Forging Masters can compare to him.”

“I rarely hear you praise someone so much.” The Qin emperor laughed. “Could it be that you want to take him in as a disciple?”

“Your Majesty, you must be joking. He’s not from Great Qin.” The middle-aged man shook his head.

“So what? So long as he’s willing to join Great Qin, it won’t be a problem to offer him a high position or a generous salary,” the Qin emperor said with an imposing manner.

“Yuan Feng is just a petty person for fooling him with just the title of a marquis.

“Xu Qing, if he can help Great Xia win the rights to hold this Martial Arts Tournament, tell him that if he joins Great Qin, I will betroth my daughter to him and let him live a life of luxury!”

“Your Majesty is wise!” The Qin emperor laughed out loud before coughing uncontrollably.

On the other side…

Under Zhou Shu’s lead, Great Xia charged through the checkpoints like a hot knife through butter. Zhou Shu also faintly noticed the change in Great Qin’s attitude. The difficulty of this checkpoint seemed to have changed.

It became easier and somewhat… perfunctory?

When he entered the Wang Xin dream, although he didn’t understand the exact situation, he could vaguely guess that at the ninth checkpoint, Great Qin would eliminate at least half of the nations.

But after they passed the ninth checkpoint, Zhou Shu felt that even the weakest Great Liang would be able to pass.

Could Great Qin have already repaired the imperial cauldron? So, there’s no need to seek anything from the various Forging Masters?

Zhou Shu had some doubts in his heart. But the matter of the imperial cauldron was too confidential, and the information he could obtain was too little. Even Wang Xin could only come into contact with superficial things.

Who cares? I’m not here for the imperial cauldron anyway. I’m here to recruit workers.

With the benefits from the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and the Flaming Sunset Saber, Zhou Shu should be able to return from this trip with a full load.
