Chapter 119 The Champion, the First Shot in the Revival of the Body Sect!
The figure blocking Jiang Xiu's path was none other than Aruheng. Today, Aruheng was dressed extremely formally, in a neat black robe and a black hat on his head, though it was slightly protruding...
"Hehehe, junior brother, I'm here on behalf of our master. He's still in seclusion." Aruheng turned to Jiang Xiu and smiled, revealing two rows of big white teeth.
Just now in the VIP section, the one who later sat in the Body Sect's seat was none other than Aruheng.
Since Zhenhua has arranged seats, their Body Sect naturally has to send someone. Since Mu Ye absorbed the tenth-grade immortal mushroom, he has been in seclusion, so this time Aruheng came on behalf of his master.
"Hmm? Junior Brother? Young Friend Jiang, have you already joined another faction?" The person in charge of the Angel Music Family heard the conversation between the two and his expression changed slightly. He asked tentatively.
Before they came here, they all thought this was a rather serious Federation blacksmith competition, but they did not expect that such a young blacksmith genius as Jiang Xiu would emerge. In a short time, they have not had time to learn more about Jiang Xiu.
"Go away, go away," the person in charge of the Spirit Pagoda shoved aside the Le family members and introduced them to Jiang Xiu and his companion, "These two are both successors of the Body Sect. You don't know them, yet you still dare to dream of bringing this young grandmaster back to your own families. You're just a bunch of country bumpkins..."
After speaking, the person in charge of the Spirit Pagoda gave Jiang Xiu and his companion a friendly smile.
Upon hearing this, the heads of the various families were all slightly taken aback. "That declining Body Sect?"
How could a blacksmith genius emerge from a declining sect?
"Master Jiang, our Spirit Pagoda is willing to hire you as a blacksmith consultant for our headquarters. You do not need to join the Spirit Pagoda, you can just be a nominal member. We will provide all the forging metals you need. If you can break through to the Divine Craftsman level in the future, please reserve one spot for our Spirit Pagoda for every five sets of four-word battle armor you forge."
While everyone was processing the information, the person in charge of the Spirit Pagoda spoke up again sincerely.
"How cunning! The Spirit Pagoda really has no shame!" The other families cursed inwardly when they saw the Spirit Pagoda get ahead of them again.
They immediately put on smiling faces again and vied to offer their own terms.
Although Jiang Xiu is a disciple of the Body Sect, it does not hinder his identity as a blacksmith at all. Many blacksmiths have joined forces, but they can still forge battle armor for outsiders, so there is no conflict between them.
As for whether they would lose money, these powerful families hadn't even considered that question. They were the top forces in the entire Federation, possessing extremely abundant resources. Let alone the resources to train one master craftsman, they could even grit their teeth and come up with the resources to train three or four master craftsmen at the same time.
However, although they have resources, a master craftsman cannot be created simply by accumulating resources. As the saying goes, resources are common, but blacksmiths who can break through to the level of master craftsman are rare. Now that they have found one, they naturally cannot let him go no matter what.
Moreover, with the talent Jiang Xiu has shown so far, he is already at the Grandmaster level. Even if he cannot break through to the Divine Craftsman level in the future, he will definitely be able to step into the Saint Craftsman level. How many Saint Craftsmen are there in the Federation?
In any case, they definitely won't lose out.
As Aruheng watched the various top powers vying to promote their families, a sense of pride welled up in his heart. Back then, no one cared about their Body Sect, but now these leaders were eager to bring up their friendships from thousands of years ago.
If their master could see this, I'm sure he'd be happy too...
"Indeed, everyone in the world is driven by self-interest." Jiang Xiu sighed inwardly, then gave his senior brother a look, and Aruheng immediately understood.
"Ahem, don't rush," Aruheng coughed twice and pressed his hands down to signal for quiet.
After everyone quieted down, Aruheng continued, "I'm a rough man, but as the senior brother, I certainly can't let my junior brother be deceived. So I can't trust you all just by talking. Why don't you all write down the resources and advantages you can offer, and let my junior brother choose?"
"this……"
As soon as Aruheng's rough voice fell, the heads of the various families paused for a moment, then looked towards the VIP seats and secretly communicated with their masters.
However, Jiang Xiu and his companion did not have to wait long. The group quickly finalized their agreement with Aruheng's proposal and began drafting their own contracts, which they then handed to Aruheng.
The young blacksmiths around were drooling with envy at the sight before them.
It turns out that it wasn't that these big families were aloof, but rather that they weren't qualified.
"Master Jiang, when can we expect to receive the results?" The head of the Federation Wang family asked expectantly after handing the contract to Aruheng.
"Go back and wait for the notification. My junior brother will let you know when there is a result." Aruheng looked at Jiang Xiu and saw Jiang Xiu nod slightly, so he waved his hand and said.
Upon hearing this, many of the managers felt a strange sense of familiarity; they remembered that these were the very words they used to say…
"This time things are really looking up." Touching the thick stack of contracts in his hand, Aruheng smiled憨厚ly. These were not only generous terms, but also their future connections.
Meanwhile, the master craftsmen on the judging panel were praising the spirit forging Jiang Xiu had created.
To complete a spirit forging in just two hours, and on the first try, is considered the work of a veteran even among grandmasters.
The champion of this competition naturally belongs to Jiang Xiu. As for the second and third place, they are Na'er, who completed the half-step spirit forging, and Tang Wulin, who completed the first grade of thousand forging, respectively.
"Things have come to this, third place is fine too." Mu Chen sighed as he looked at the final results. At least his disciple Tang Wulin had a relatively high ranking.
Zhenhua, however, did not pay special attention, because he had already predicted the outcome. He was just pleased to see the various families exchanging ideas with Jiang Xiu in the arena.
Back when he had just broken through to the Divine Craftsman level, these powerful families were far more fanatical than they are now.
"My old friend, this is all I can do to help you. I will try my best to reduce the obstacles on your path to the revival of your Body Sect." Zhenhua sighed inwardly. After the leaders of the various families left, he signaled the referee to announce the result of the match.
Meanwhile, thanks to Zhenhua's deliberate arrangement, the various families who came learned about Jiang Xiu, especially the fact that Jiang Xiu's teacher was the only master craftsman of the era. This made everyone instantly understand Zhenhua's intention in inviting them.
This also strengthened their resolve to win over Jiang Xiu. With Zhen Hua, a master craftsman, as their teacher, the probability of Jiang Xiu breaking through to the master craftsman level in the future is at least 98%, if not 100%.
"After the judges' evaluation, the top three in this blacksmith competition are Jiang Xiu from the Body Sect, Na'er from the Spirit Pagoda, and Tang Wulin from the Blacksmith Association. After the competition, please come to the Blacksmith Association to collect your awards."
As the referee's voice rang out, everyone who came to participate was completely convinced of the result. Such a young master forging master was unprecedented in the entire history.
However, what made the people present feel both strange and familiar was the name "Body Sect". This sect, which had gradually faded from public view, was remembered by them again in this way.
As the results were announced, many participants left the venue, and the various factions in the VIP seats also got up and left after giving Jiang Xiu a friendly look.
However, many people had a premonition that the Body Sect might really be making a comeback this time...
"This is just the first step in making the Body Sect rise again. The road ahead is still long..." Jiang Xiu put down the soul power milk bottle in his hand and said with a distant gaze.
The Body Sect has been weak for a long time. Although there are strong figures like his master and grandmaster, a sect cannot become powerful without enough disciples.
This is also a major challenge for the revival of the Body Sect.
After arranging everything else, Jiang Xiu was leading Na'er through the private passage to the backstage area of the Blacksmith Association to receive their award when a figure slowly emerged from the private passage...
