Chapter 338: Chapter 338 - If Hard Work Is Useful, What Is the Use of Talent? (1)

“Deputy Pavilion Master, aren’t you a forging genius? Why are you so stupid?” Zhou Shu said casually with raised brows.

Shi Songtao looked embarrassed and wished he could find a hole to hide in. “Pavilion Master, Your Highness, I will definitely work hard!”

“If hard work is useful, what is the use of talent?” Zhou Shu said. “I originally thought that you were a genius, so I let you be the deputy pavilion master. Otherwise, there are many hardworking people in the 0th Workshop—”

“Pavilion Master, please stop.” Tears streamed down Shi Songtao’s face. “Please give me some time. I will definitely master how to forge the Cosmic Bangle!”

“Never mind. Maybe I’m asking too much of you.” Zhou Shu sighed.

Zhou Shu’s expression dealt Shi Songtao an even greater blow. His heart felt like it had been squeezed.

Uncomfortable, painful!

He had never been so despised for as long as he could remember.

Zhou Shu had said it casually, but the more this happened, the more uncomfortable Shi Songtao felt.

Since he learned to forge, he had never been looked down upon like this.

Was it too much to ask?

He, Shi Songtao, had always exceeded others’ expectations. But now, someone actually said he was stupid.

Did he fail to meet the expectations of others?

He, Shi Songtao, was the previous Great Xia’s number one forging genius.

“Pavilion Master! I guarantee with my life that I will successfully forge the Cosmic Bangle!” Shi Songtao held up his finger and swore to the heavens.

“Just do your best,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “It seems that it’s impossible to equip the Hundred Wars Armored Army soldiers with Cosmic Bangles.

“It’s the Huaxia Pavilion’s fault for being incompetent.”

Zhou Shu sighed repeatedly.

Shi Songtao was battered. His heart bled.

Is the reputation of our Huaxia Pavilion going to be ruined by me, the useless deputy pavilion master?

No, absolutely not!

I, Shi Songtao, am the deputy pavilion master of the Huaxia Pavilion!

I will defend the honor of the Huaxia Pavilion with my life!

Whoosh!

Flames appeared on Shi Songtao’s hands. With the help of the Iron Smelting Hands Technique that Zhou Shu had shared, he once again threw himself into the pursuit.

The pavilion master has already taught me the forging process of the Cosmic Bangle. If I still can’t succeed, then I, Shi Songtao, will not be worthy of being the former number one forging genius of Great Xia!

Seeing Shi Songtao returning to forging, Zhou Shu shook his head and left the forging room.

He had been too naive before.

He didn’t expect that even Shi Songtao would find it so difficult to forge the Cosmic Bangle.

He had explained the forgoing method to him clearly, but he still failed to forge it.

Is my forging ability already so strong?

Zhou Shu had always thought that he relied on the Legendary Armament Canon to forge.

After all, in the beginning, the Legendary Armament Canon had directly instilled the secret forging formulas into him.

Now, he suddenly realized that his forging talent seemed to be quite good.

He had developed the Cosmic Bangle himself. It was not a secret forging formula that he had obtained from the Legendary Armament Canon.

The Martial Dao talent of the previous owner of my body is trash, but his forging talent doesn’t seem bad. If not for his poor background, he might have had a chance to become a Forging Master. Unfortunately…

He had forgotten that his ability to forge, his proficiency in forging materials rewarded by the Legendary Armament Canon, and his powerful physique cultivated by various cultivation techniques were all important.

Although Shi Songtao was a forging genius, he didn’t have these cheats. It was normal that he couldn’t forge the Cosmic Bangle.

After all, the Cosmic Bangle was a heaven-grade weapon.

If Shi Songtao could successfully forge it, he would be a Grand Craftsman!

Zhou Shu walked out of the forging room and bumped into Yin Wuyou.

“Zhou Shu, are you really okay with forging the Cosmic Bangle?” Yin Wuyou grabbed Zhou Shu’s arm.

“Of course.” Zhou Shu smiled. “I’m not crazy. I won’t sacrifice my body for a weapon.”

“That’s good.” Yin Wuyou heaved a sigh of relief before her eyes lit up. “Then, can you forge me a Cosmic Bangle too?”

She looked expectant and stared at Zhou Shu with glistening eyes.

Zhou Shu: “…”

“No problem. When Deputy Pavilion Master Shi succeeds, you can choose one first.” Zhou Shu said casually.

Although forging the Cosmic Bangle was not difficult, the process was very cumbersome and tiring.

In addition, it didn’t give him any rewards, so Zhou Shu didn’t want to forge it at all.

If he had the time, he might as well forge a sword.

“Shi Songtao can also forge the Cosmic Bangle?” Yin Wuyou was shocked. If she remembered correctly, Shi Songtao was not even 30 years old.

Even though a Grand Craftsman who was less than thirty couldn’t compare to Zhou Shu, it was still shocking enough.

There were only two people in the Huaxia Pavilion. Both of them were Grand Craftsmen?

Did they have to be so shocking?

“Probably, maybe, possibly, okay.” Zhou Shu didn’t know if Shi Songtao would succeed. He was now skeptical of Shi Songtao’s reputation as a genius.

Yin Wuyou didn’t understand what Zhou Shu meant. Her face was full of shock and a trace of excitement.

If the Forging Division gained two new Grand Craftsmen after the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, who would dare to say that she, the grand minister of the Forging Division, was incompetent?

The wise and discerning grand minister had discovered Zhou Shu!

As they chatted, Zhou Shu suddenly froze.
