Chapter 259: Did You Forge the Great Destroyer Sword? (2)

Zhou Shu smiled. “Old Shi, we’ve been through thick and thin together. How can I not trust you?”

Shi Songtao was stumped by Zhou Shu. What does he mean?

So, can I join the Huaxia Pavilion or not?

“However, nothing can be done without rules,” Zhou Shu continued. “We still have to go through the necessary procedures.

“How about this? Our Huaxia Pavilion now has a yellow-grade weapon called the Heavenly Halberd.

“If you manage to sell it, you’ll pa.s.s the test.”

“What?” Shi Songtao’s eyes widened. “I’m a Forging Master! I should be forging, not selling!”

“Besides, do I need to sell ranked weapons? Others have to beg me to buy them!”

Since when did Forging Masters need to promote ranked weapons?

Martial artists would fight over any ranked weapons.

As long as Zhou Shu spread the word, countless people would come to the Huaxia Pavilion.

“Isn’t this a process?” Zhou Shu smiled. “How can it be simple?

“However, I have a request. You can’t just find any random buyer. The Heavenly Halberd needs to be matched with a peerless general!”

Previously, Meng Bai had introduced a few people to him, but Zhou Shu was not too satisfied.

Ever since he met w.a.n.g Xin, Zhou Shu had become a little picky. Even workers had to be cultured.

Otherwise, if he didn’t see any benefits from the Legendary Armament Canon, wouldn’t he have worked for nothing?

“Alright,” Shi Songtao reluctantly agreed. The Shi family had some connections in the military. This wasn’t a difficult matter.

Shi Songtao hesitated before asking, “Your Highness, I have a question.”

“Ask away.” Zhou Shu didn’t mind. It was up to him to answer.

“Your Highness, did you also forge the Great Destroyer Sword?” Shi Songtao looked at Zhou Shu.

“Yes,” Zhou Shu said casually.

He had already exposed most of his strength, so he naturally didn’t care about such a small matter.

“No wonder,” Shi Songtao muttered under his breath. “No wonder such an expert would use a yellow-grade weapon.

“Your Highness, your senior brother discovered you because of the Great Destroyer Sword, right?”

Zhou Shu was stunned before he realized what he was saying.

He looked at Shi Songtao strangely. Shi Songtao is so honest.

Now, not many people really believe that I have a senior brother.

Does he actually believe it?

Indeed, what bad intentions can a forger have?

“That’s right,” Zhou Shu said perfunctorily.

“Your Highness, I am truly convinced now.” Shi Songtao cupped his hands.

“You forged the Great Destroyer Sword. In that case, the top ten weapons in the current Yellow-grade Armament Manual are all your weapons, Your Highness.

“No one has done such a thing since the creation of the Armament Manual.”

“Just because no one has done it doesn’t mean we can’t do it. Old Shi, join the Huaxia Pavilion. The first lesson I’m going to teach you is that a man must take responsibility. If others can do it, we can do it. Even if others can’t, we can do it.

“Otherwise, why would they need our Huaxia Pavilion?”

“I’ve gained knowledge, “Shi Songtao said sincerely.

Shi Songtao was really convinced by Zhou Shu now, even if Zhou Shu’s current forging level was actually inferior to his.

But this level also depended on how one made use of it.

He could forge black-grade weapons, and Zhou Shu had yet to forge a black-grade weapon. From the evaluation of forgers, his level was higher.

But the yellow-grade weapons that Zhou Shu forged now occupied the top ten of the Yellow-grade Armament Manual. In terms of forging yellow-grade weapons, not to mention Shi Songtao, even Grand Craftsmen were far inferior.

Zhou Shu had achieved an unprecedented record.

The top ten of the Yellow-grade Armament Manual!

Before Shi Songtao left, he suddenly thought of something and stopped to ask, “Your Highness, does our Huaxia Pavilion want to partic.i.p.ate in this Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament?”

“Can I not attend?” Zhou Shu said. He had heard the Forging Division usually sent people to partic.i.p.ate in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament.

He had never cared much for these matters.

Moreover, his ident.i.ty was limited previously. Most of the information he had access to was just gossip. He could only treat it as a story and not take it seriously.

“Given your status, you don’t have to partic.i.p.ate if you don’t want to,” Shi Songtao said.

Zhou Shu was not only Great Xia’s King of the South but also Great Qin’s side-by-side king.

He now had full authority to decide some things.

“Is that so?” Zhou Shu rubbed his chin and pondered. “Old Shi, do you think it’s better for the Huaxia Pavilion to partic.i.p.ate in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament or not?”

“Me?” Shi Songtao was surprised, but he still said, “I’m definitely willing to partic.i.p.ate.

“The Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament is a good opportunity to contribute to the country. It’s also an opportunity for an individual.

“Your Highness, back then, you agreed to a bet to help Great Xia reclaim the two prefectures and become a marquis. This kind of thing is possible in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament.

“If you make a contribution to the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, it’s not impossible for you to be bestowed a t.i.tle.”

Shi Songtao’s eyes were full of longing.

In the past, he had thought that it would be enough if he could get a t.i.tle. An earl was something he hadn’t even dared to think about before.

But now, after seeing Zhou Shu’s achievements, his horizons had widened.

Right now, he wanted to fight to become a marquis!

He, Shi Songtao, also wanted someone to call him Marquis Shi one day!

“I don’t think I need any anymore,” Zhou Shu mumbled.

Shi Songtao: “…”

Comparisons are odious!

He was still thinking of fighting to become a marquis, but a certain someone had already been conferred the t.i.tle of a king…

There seemed to be no more way up…

With that in mind, there was really no need for him to partic.i.p.ate in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament.

No matter how great the credit, he couldn’t possibly be promoted again…

“Old Shi, is the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament the same as our Great Xia military parade?” Zhou Shu asked, “Are we forgers also competing in forging?”

If that was the case, he had no interest in partic.i.p.ating.

“I don’t think so.” Shi Songtao shook his head. “The Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament is a compet.i.tion of actual combat. We forgers join as a reserve force. We are responsible for providing and repairing weapons for the army.

“Our Great Xia partic.i.p.ates in workshops. Every workshop supports an army.”

“I see.” Zhou Shu pondered. In that case, he was interested.

Wouldn’t it be a great opportunity to recruit some workers?

Moreover, the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament was actual combat. Since it was actual combat, there would definitely be a chance to kill.

Even with his current ident.i.ty, it wasn’t easy to make an entire army work for him without a specific opportunity.

His eyes began to glow.

“Old Shi, you’ve already said that partic.i.p.ating in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament is an opportunity to contribute to the country,” Zhou Shu said.

“We are deeply indebted to the country. How can we not step up when the country needs us?

“Yes, we must partic.i.p.ate!”

Zhou Shu said pa.s.sionately, “Even if there are only us two forgers in the Huaxia Pavilion, we have to partic.i.p.ate!

“Even if there are only two of us, we can still support the military supplies of an entire army. Old Shi, are you confident?”

“Yes!” Shi Songtao shouted. “I will follow Your Highness to the death!”

“What death? We’re forgers, not combatants. No matter what, we won’t die.

“But since we’re partic.i.p.ating in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, we still have to think of a way to find out what the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament is all about. In order to support an army, we have to choose the army with the most combat missions. Only then can we show the strength of our Huaxia Pavilion.”

“Your Highness, you are right.” Shi Songtao was full of admiration. This was the king in his heart, the new number one forging genius of Great Xia who surpa.s.sed him!
