Chapter 206 I Can’t Afford To Mess with You, Zhou Shu Fixes A Star (2)

Fortunately, Great Qin had set up many tents at the fourth checkpoint.

When everyone arrived at the location, they saw that Great Xia had already occupied the few tents in the best positions, and each of them had one tent…

There were a total of 81 challengers from the nine nations, and Great Qin had only set up around 30 tents.

Now, Great Xia had occupied nine of them. In other words, dozens of people could only share the remaining tents.

“If you don’t want to be beaten up, then don’t disturb my sleep.”

Before they could raise any objections, Zhou Shu’s voice came from one of the tents.

Everyone: “…”

A fist was the absolute logic.

Their cultivation level was inferior to Zhou Shu’s. Could they reason with him?

They would probably just get beaten up!

“I don’t care about the rest of you. These three tents belong to Great Wei!” Shen Yue pointed at three tents.

There were nine people from Great Wei, and they only wanted three tents, which was reasonable.

“Why do you want three?” someone said loudly. “Do you think you can take a beating?”

“What do you mean?” Shen Yue’s face darkened. That Zhou fellow occupied nine tents. I only want three. How dare you have any objections?

“What do you mean? If you want a tent, ask my fist first!” A fist the size of a clay pot appeared before Shen Yue’s vision.

“Brothers, attack! Whoever wins will sleep in a tent!”

A group of elites from various nations was now like a group of commoners as they fought over tents.

Fortunately, they still had their rationality. Basically, they fought with their fists and legs, and no one used their weapons.

Bang! Bang!

The sound of fists hitting flesh echoed continuously. Everyone seemed to be venting their anger.

The unlucky Shen Yue became the target of public criticism.

Although his cultivation level wasn’t bad, he would be kicked and punched occasionally during chaotic battles. The damage was not great, but the humiliation was extremely high.

He was full of grief and indignation. That Zhou fellow occupied nine tents. Instead of beating him up, you attack me when I only want three.

I have to squeeze into a small tent with three people. You guys are too much of a bully!

The banging sounds outside the tent continued incessantly. When they fell into Zhou Shu’s ears, it was like a lullaby, and he quickly entered his dreams.

After a tiring day, he would get a good night’s sleep and continue helping others tomorrow.

The next morning, Zhou Shu stretched and walked out of his tent.

He saw many people sleeping outside the tent.

Most of them were bruised and battered.

More than twenty tents were not enough for all of them. In the chaotic battle last night, only a small number of people had managed to get their hands on the tents. Most of them could only use the sky as their shelter.

Great Qin could still be considered decent. They even prepared breakfast for the challengers from various nations.

Looking at the other challengers’ dispirited looks, Shi Songtao raised his head and puffed out his chest as he walked past them.

He had slept comfortably last night, and all his fatigue from the day had been swept away. He was feeling refreshed now.

The marquis is wise. He snatched the tents ahead of time. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to rest well and would have had to squeeze with others or even sleep in the wilderness!

Shen Yue glared at Shi Songtao with his panda eyes. Forget it if Zhou Shu is acting all arrogant, but you’re on the same level as me. What’s there to be arrogant about?

Shi Songtao ignored him and walked away. His arrogant look almost made Shen Yue faint from anger.

The Great Qin general appeared before everyone and said, “After a good night’s rest and a good meal, everyone can enter the next checkpoint.”

A good night’s rest and a good meal?

Everyone looked at the challengers from Great Xia. They were probably the only ones who had eaten and slept well.

Yesterday, everyone had identified forging materials, forged the standard weapons, and even fought a huge battle with demonic beasts.

Their mental strength and physical strength were greatly exhausted.

At the fourth checkpoint, in order to snatch tents, they had fought another battle. Under such circumstances, how many people could sleep well?

As if the Great Qin general didn’t know what had happened last night, he said, “There are nine incomplete ranked weapons here. As long as the stars are fixed, they will become ranked weapons.

“This trial is to design star paths for these nine weapons and determine the positions of the stars. As you all are experts in this aspect, there is no need for me to explain further.

“There is no need for you to truly fix the stars for this stage. As long as the design results are correct, you will be able to pass. Otherwise, you will fail.

“Everyone can choose a weapon and begin.”

The Great Qin general waved his hand.

After he finished speaking, no one moved. The gazes of all the challengers automatically fell on Zhou Shu.

Unknowingly, if there was something good, letting Great Xia choose first seemed to have become their unspoken rule…

Zhou Shu gave everyone an appreciative look. Sensible!

All the challengers were a little confused. Damn it! Why do we feel so flattered?

Zhou Shu is just a Forging Master like us. His cultivation level is even lower than ours. He’s just a little more good-looking!

If not for the two terrifyingly strong women beside him, what is there to be proud of?

Pfft, pretty boy! Freeloader! Shameless!

The challengers looked down on him in their hearts, but at the same time, they were secretly envious.

Under everyone’s gaze, Zhou Shu walked forward, picked up the nine incomplete ranked weapons, and began to play with them one by one.

He played with the weapons slowly while occasionally making a tsk sound.

Some of the challengers from other countries were impatient and wanted to go up and snatch a weapon. But when two cold and murderous gazes landed on them, they immediately stood back.

They couldn’t defeat them and couldn’t afford to offend them either!

Under the pressure of Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang, Zhou Shu spent a full two hours before choosing a weapon.

As soon as he stepped down from the stage, the rest of the challengers from the other nations rushed forward. There was another battle, and finally, each nation snatched a weapon.

“Let us begin, Marquis.” Shi Songtao and the other Forging Masters rolled up their sleeves, looking extremely motivated.

They were already prepared to show off.

“What are you doing?” Zhou Shu saw Shi Songtao and the others take out a toolbox from somewhere and place all kinds of tools in front of them. At first glance, it looked like a physics and chemistry laboratory he had seen in his previous life. “Designing star paths,” Shi Songtao said matter-of-factly. “We have to first determine the composition of this weapon. We also have to determine the patterns formed within the weapon during the forging process. Then according to its material and internal structure, we can design the star paths of this weapon…”

Shi Songtao spoke non-stop, spewing out professional terms.

If one wasn’t a Forging Master, they wouldn’t understand what was going on.

Setting the star paths for weapons was the most important ability of Forging Masters. Forging Masters of different schools of thought had different methods.

Zhou Shu shook his head. “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I’ll personally handle this checkpoint.”

He knew Shi Songtao’s star positioning technique. Shi Songtao was good at determining the star paths of weapons through various calculations.

The calculation process was extremely complicated. Even if he was given half a day, he might not be able to calculate the result.

The other Forging Masters in the Great Xia team were not as good as Shi Songtao. It would probably take longer for them.

Zhou Shu didn’t have the patience to wait for a day or two.

After these four checkpoints, he had already roughly grasped the direction Great Qin was heading

According to the current situation, it was practically impossible to predict the condition of Great Qin’s imperial cauldron from the nine checkpoints.

There were experts in Great Qin’s path of forging.

Since that was the case, there was no point in wasting too much time on these mere qualifiers.

“Serve me a brush and ink,” Zhou Shu said.

Although Shi Songtao was somewhat unconvinced, he also wanted to see Zhou Shu’s star positioning technique.

He placed the brush and ink in front of Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu raised his brush and drew a weapon on the paper. This weapon was the weapon he had chosen earlier.

After drawing the weapon, Zhou Shu drew a few more strokes and tapped a few ink dots on the weapon.

“The first star is at the bottom of the sword, an inch from the sword tip. The second star is…” Zhou Shu quickly wrote a note on the paper. Shi Songtao and the other Forging Masters stared with their eyes wide open. They hadn’t seen how Zhou Shu had determined the star positions at all. Is he writing nonsense?
