Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 154: It is a great honor to be on this stage
After hesitating for a long time...
Mr. Chen sighed and finally raised his score card.
twenty.
twenty.
Like Wang Danyang, he also gave full marks to Tang Zheng and Luo Fei!
However, although both of them received full marks, Wang Danyang gave it directly and easily, while Old Man Chen even sighed several times.
"I am more than sixty years older than you, but what you have done here today is something I can never do in my entire life... No, it's something I dare not even think about!" Uncle Chen's hands were already very thin, but the two signs he held were held very steadily.
There were many craftsmen from Wulong Town in the audience. When they heard Mr. Chen's sigh, they were all silent for a while.
Mr. Chen continued: "Your journey has just begun!"
The craftsmen all nodded. Tang Zheng and Luo Fei’s journey of casting had indeed just begun. There were still unlimited possibilities in their future.
It is not impossible for Luo Fei to master any kind of difficult skills, even lost skills.
There is no way of knowing what other ingenious designs Tang Zheng can come up with to shock the mainland...
"I... Chen Tie, am honored to be able to take part in such a competition!" After putting down the sign, Mr. Chen looked at Tang Zheng and Luo Fei, "Carry the Soul of Forging, and... continue on!"
Mr. Chen’s two full marks are not only recognition, but also blessings.
On behalf of the craftsmen of Wulong Town, and also on behalf of the craftsmen of the same age who will never be able to make further progress in casting in this lifetime, I would like to extend my blessings to the two younger generations who are several decades younger than me.
Tang Zheng looked at Mr. Chen without saying a word, stood up, and was the first to applaud.
The craftsmen in the audience looked at each other and followed Tang Zheng in applauding.
Mr. Chen sent his blessings with these two full marks, and Tang Zheng responded with applause to Mr. Chen as a sign of respect.
Although Uncle Chen's casting skills cannot be compared with those of Lu Huang, Luo Fei and others, his love and pursuit for casting are exactly the same as those of Lu Huang, Luo Fei and others!
He is already in his twilight years, but he deserves Tang Zheng's respectful applause.
The craftsmen in the audience followed Tang Zheng in applauding and nodding in agreement.
"It's a great honor, it's really a great honor!"
"Mr. Chen is lucky to be the judge of this fight, and I am also lucky to be able to watch such a fight!"
As Mr. Chen's sign fell, Manager Wu had already posted Tang Zheng and Luo Fei's final scores on the white paper.
After the second round, Tang Zheng and Luo Fei both tied with 72 points.
In the final competition of finished products, each judge gave them very similar scores...
However, in the end, there was still a very slight difference in the total scores of the two people!
"From Luo Fei's score, if you remove the highest number of twenty and the lowest number of fifteen, you will have one number of twenty, one number of seventeen, and one number of fifteen left!"
"Luo Fei's third competition - the finished product's score is seventeen!"
"Tang Zheng's score, minus the highest score of twenty and the lowest score of seventeen, is left with one score of twenty, one score of nineteen, and one score of seventeen!"
"Tang Zheng's third competition - the final result is eighteen!"
"Luo Fei's total score: eighty-nine!"
"Tang Zheng's total score: 90!"
"Tang Zheng wins this fight!"
After repeated calculations, Shopkeeper Wu omitted the intervals and announced the final result of the duel - Tang Zheng, the winner!
Tang Zheng wins!
Tang Xiaotang and Tang Xuan hugged each other and actually jumped up.
Azhi was still standing in the corner without saying a word when Xiao Lingling grabbed him and started dancing.
"If the Master says we will win, we will definitely win!"
"The Master never breaks his word! He always keeps his word!"
Victory belongs to Tang Zheng.
However, happiness belongs to the entire Tangjiabao.
They and Tang Zheng have become one and are inseparable.
"Hey, stop...what are you doing?" As soon as Tang Zheng saw them rushing towards him, he had a bad thought.
In just a few moves, Tang Zheng was thrown onto the casting table in a very evil manner.
All the young men from Tangjiabao, regardless of gender or age, rushed forward and buried him deep inside!
“Hey, hey, hey, it’s not like that…” Tang Zheng stretched out his claws desperately, “I’m going to be suffocated to death, dead…”
Just as he shouted this, the disciples of Tang Family Castle around him rushed forward.
Tang Zheng finally saw a glimmer of light. Just as he was breathing a sigh of relief, he felt his body lighten...
Looking down again, he was quite a distance away from the ground.
"One, two, three..." The young men from Tangjiabao shouted together and threw Tang Zheng high up.
"Master, in those stories you told me, this is the kind of celebration you did, right?"
"..." Tang Zheng looked at the ceiling light that was getting closer and closer, and felt like crying but had no tears.
Throwing someone to celebrate after winning a game is indeed a very ancient celebration.
However, he never said that this kind of celebration action can mobilize star power!
"You little bastards..." Tang Zheng was in no mood to think about the bad painting style in mid-air. He just uttered two words through his teeth, "Help..."
Why is it that every time it’s his turn to show off, tragedy always occurs?
Tang Zheng closed his eyes in despair and began to fall...
Although with the skills he had practiced for ten years, he could easily turn over and land safely after being thrown into the air, but by doing so, wouldn't it be the same as not trusting the children of Tang Family Castle to catch him?
"Uh...something big has happened now!" Several gambling detectives turned around and left.
The big thing they were talking about was, of course, not the fact that Tang Zheng might be thrown to death, but the result of this fight!
Faced with this result, some casinos in Wulong Town were happy while others were worried.
Some people are not greedy and don’t eat much of Tang Xiaotang’s Zijin Tongbao. Faced with this unpopular product, they can actually make a profit!
But some were too greedy and had not considered that Tang Zheng would win. They had only two options now. Either they sold their West Street shop to Tangjiabao, or they packed up their belongings and fled Wulong Town overnight...
If, they could really escape.
…
After being thrown up and caught, thrown up and caught several times, Tang Zheng was finally put back to the ground.
The banquet that Manager Wu of Wufeng Tavern had prepared long ago was also served one after another.
Before long, the casting table, the east and west halls on the second floor, and a dozen compartments were filled with the fragrant aroma of wine.
In the battle between Tang Zheng and Luo Fei, there were winners and losers.
But no matter whether they win or lose, their names as geniuses will spread from Wulong Town.
Everyone who came to toast was full of blessings.
Wulong Town is really not a good place.
Whenever people mentioned Wulong Town, they would think of garbage all over the ground, scum on the streets, beggars, wanted criminals, and corpses in the back alleys...
The fight between Tang Zheng and Luo Fei may never again spread a positive statement.
When the craftsmen from Wulong Town came to toast Tang Zheng, they held him aside one by one and talked to him for a long time.
"Tang Zheng." After three rounds of drinking, Wang Danyang picked up the wine glass. His voice was not loud, but every word was as strong as a war drum. "Your ability to control star power is something I have never seen before. If you can join the Red Tassel Army, it will definitely be a great help for my Changyuan Leng family to guard the border! What do you think?"
Ouyang Luoluo, who was standing at the side, smiled and came over when she heard this: "I say, Commander Wang, aren't you too impatient? Tang Zheng is not even three stars. If he were in my Yisu Academy, he wouldn't have graduated yet!"
Wang Danyang laughed: "The academy is just a hothouse, how can it compete with the speed of our military's progress?"
"So, Commander Wang is not from Yisuli Academy?" Ouyang Luoluo covered her mouth.
“……”Wang Danyang’s face turned black.
Not only was he from Yisuli Academy, but he was also a graduate of the same class as Ouyang Luoluo!
After graduating from the aristocratic academy, one becomes a powerful person that is fought over by all forces, just like graduating from a famous university. No matter what one's previous background was or what kind of criminal record one has, it is no longer so important.
However, as the top graduates of Yisu Academy, Wang Danyang and Ouyang Luoluo did not choose to leave Feishi City and go to some more prosperous and peaceful families far away from the border.
One of them joined the Red Tassel Army, and the other chose to stay in the academy!
"Although my Bailianfang is not good at socializing, you two are too rude." Lu Huang smiled slightly and said, "More than a month ago, I had already sent an invitation to Tang Zheng, inviting him... to join Bailianfang."
"..." Wang Danyang and Ouyang Luoluo's faces changed when they heard this.
In fact, the Red Tassel Army was not an army with particularly good treatment. Sometimes even their weapons, food and salaries would be reduced.
The Yisu Academy is just an academy in a border town, which cannot be compared with the academy in the prefectural city or the capital city, and its conditions are much worse than those in the prefectural city or the capital city.
If Bailianfang is determined to snatch the person away, neither Wang Danyang nor Ouyang Luoluo will be able to do so!
Even if Tang Zheng was stupid, he could still hear that Wang Danyang and Ouyang Luoluo, representing the Feishi City garrison and the Feishi City Yisu Academy respectively, were trying to recruit him. And Lu Huang, representing the Bailianfang, also reiterated what he had said last time, inviting Tang Zheng to join the Bailianfang.
The Red Tassel Army, Yisu Academy, Bailian Workshop...
No matter which one it is, it can be considered as climbing up the high branch.
Many craftsmen at the next table looked at Tang Zheng with envy.
"In that case , Tang Zheng should make his own decision." Wang Danyang did not persuade him any further, "As long as I am here, the gates of the Red Tassel Army will be open to you."
"It's the same with Yisu Academy. You just need to bring your identity and your nameplate. You don't have to worry about anything else. You can enter the academy to teach at any time."
Lu Huang glanced at Tang Zheng meaningfully, lowered his head to drink a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Identity nameplate..."
He was halfway through his words, but didn't continue...
