Seven Great Sects Re-election Assembly
Previously, Wu Qi had explained the details in great detail.
Lou Gao relayed this, which immediately attracted the interest of many blacksmiths.
Joining the Spirit Hall not only brings a resettlement allowance, but also a guaranteed income in the future; life will be much better than it is now.
It should be noted that there are plenty of Grandmaster blacksmiths in Gengxin City, not to mention the lower-level blacksmiths.
Here, junior blacksmiths hardly get any orders and can only work under the guise of veteran blacksmiths, making a living by producing some parts.
These people make up the majority of the blacksmith community.
If life is good, who would want to live a life of having to be subservient to others?
Moreover, Wu Qi is Elder of the Spirit Hall, and there is a written agreement between them.
Although the Spirit Hall's reputation has been tarnished by those corrupt officials in recent years, there has never been a report of the Spirit Hall breaking its promises!
With Lou Gao taking the initiative to speak up, these low-level blacksmiths were eager to try their luck, wishing they could join the Spirit Hall on the spot.
However, the master Grandmaster and grandmasters seemed somewhat hesitant.
These people were all elderly and held high positions in Gengxin City. The orders they received were enough to support their families, with a considerable surplus.
Having already achieved a comfortable life, there aren't many people left who want to venture out and seek their fortunes.
Moreover, they didn't quite believe the Spirit Hall's words, thinking there might be a trap involved.
Furthermore, Wu Qi offered a substantial severance package, and these people were eager to secure their money.
Beside him, Feng Xiaotian tugged at Wu Qi's sleeve and whispered, "Team Captain, I think I spotted some disciples of the Strength Clan. Most of those who are opposing are disciples of the Strength Clan."
That's not surprising.
Tai Tan is the Vice President of the Blacksmiths' Association and also a Divine Craftsman. The Strength Clan sent a disciple to the Blacksmiths' Association not only to learn and exchange ideas, but also to keep an eye on the guild's movements.
Unfortunately, the Strength Clan had moved from their original base. Even if the Strength Clan disciples here sent out the message immediately, it would be unknown how much time had passed by the time Tai Tan received it.
With Tai Tan absent, it's impossible for this group of disciples of the Strength Clan to stop Lou Gao's decision.
Besides, Wu Qi didn't force everyone to join. If they didn't want to join, he would just give them a severance package.
As for Lou Gao himself, well, he didn't even have his eye on the Strength Clan.
If the Blacksmiths' Association hadn't been implicated by the Strength Clan and the Clear Sky Sect back then, how could it have fallen to such a state?
Tang Hao and Tai Tan packed their bags and left, leaving them the ones who were truly unlucky.
So many years have passed, and Tai Tan has never returned.
If the Tai Tan are ruthless, then don't blame them for being unjust.
The effort to win them over lasted for three days.
Not all blacksmiths received the news immediately.
It's normal for the spread of information and the counting of people to take a while.
It is worth mentioning that the Spirit Hall of Gengxin City has been completely reorganized. Those Deacon who committed crimes have been either exiled or beheaded.
Those Deacon who did not collude with Myers were transferred to other places to ensure that the entire Spirit Hall was completely renewed.
That evening, Lou Gao handed the completed list to Wu Qi.
The list includes nearly 80% of the blacksmiths in the Blacksmiths' Association, all of whom have agreed to join the Spirit Hall. The remaining less than 20% of blacksmiths include some disciples of the Strength Clan and others Grandmaster blacksmiths accustomed to a comfortable life.
The skilled blacksmiths were only half won over, but that was enough for Wu Qi.
After the Blacksmiths' Association joins the Spirit Hall, it will no longer be able to recruit disciples entirely based on the blacksmith Grandmaster' moods, as it is now.
In the future, the Spirit Hall Academy will open branch academies to specialize in training blacksmiths (Soul Engineer). Furthermore, the academy will offer open courses to train blacksmiths (Soul Engineer) on a large scale.
This has been confirmed by Lou Gao.
The loss of Soul Tool Technology serves as a cautionary tale.
Master, fearing their apprentices will surpass them, often hold back some skills. Over time, this inevitably leads to the loss of the traditional teachings.
This model of accepting apprentices based on mood will eventually be eliminated by the times, and only in this way can the tradition of Soul Tool and blacksmithing be guaranteed.
After Wu Qi distributed the severance pay, the matter of the Blacksmiths' Association was settled.
Next, the powerful figures from the Worship Hall will connect with them and assist the Blacksmiths' Association in completing the relocation.
Until they acquire the Soul Tool Technology, the Blacksmiths' Association must continue with its traditional business.
Bibi Dong will soon launch Continental War, and the Spirit Hall will face a huge shortage of weapons and equipment. In the short term, the profits from these orders will be enough for the blacksmiths to live comfortably.
After completing this task, Wu Qi and his group quickened their pace and returned to Heaven Dou City.
Next, they just need to wait for Storm to hit Hurricane Canyon so that everyone can enter and train there.
At the same time, the Seven Great Sects Re-election Assembly officially began.
Sword Bone Douluo's strength was far ahead of others, and none of the other participating sects dared to provoke them.
In the rest area of the arena, Gu Rong sneered, "In this tournament, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School is guaranteed to win the title of the Mainland's Number One Sect just by participating. I don't know what Tang Xiao was thinking. Why would our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect give up such an easy advantage!"
Sword Douluo said leisurely, "Some people can't see their own strength and are always blindly confident."
"If this were the Clear Sky Sect thirty years ago, we would have had no choice but to listen to Tang Xiao's words. But the current Clear Sky Sect is no different from a rat in the Sewer, yet they still think they have considerable influence, making them a laughingstock!"
Ning Fengzhi suddenly laughed and said, "The position of leader of the Seven Great Sects is rightfully ours. However, we cannot ignore the other sects."
"There's only one sect among the original Upper Three Sects. After the competition ends, two new Upper Three Sects will inevitably emerge. I wonder which two sects will be honored."
Sword Dao Chen Xin said, "Fengzhi, the Sacred Dragon Sect Tuoba Xi is already Titled Douluo, and the Elephant Armor Sect's Huyan Zhen is a veteran Peak Soul Douluo. In my opinion, the two positions in the Upper Three Sects will be decided among them. As for the ranking order, it will depend on their performance."
Even though the Elephant Armor Sect failed to annex the Defense Clan, their strength should not be underestimated.
It's important to know that the Elephant Armor Sect has more than just Huyan Zhen, a Soul Douluo; it also has several Elder at the Soul Douluo level.
On the other hand, the Sacred Dragon Sect only has two Elder at the Soul Douluo level, besides Tuoba Xi, who is Titled Douluo. In terms of the number of high-level experts, they lag behind the Elephant Armor Sect.
It's really hard to say which of the two major sects will be able to take over the former position of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
However, among the sects qualified to compete for the title of the Seven Great Sects, only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect does not belong to the Papal Hall; the other sects openly or secretly gravitate towards the Papal Hall.
Ning Fengzhi had to consider how to get along with these sects after the rankings were finalized.
The Seven Great Sects Re-election Assembly was simplified, with the competition divided into Sect Master and Elder battles. As a result, the winners and losers were determined in just five days.
The Upper Three Sects are: the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Elephant Armor Sect, and the Sacred Dragon Sect.
