Prodigiously Amazing Weaponsmith

Chapter 1720: Who do you think you are? (6)

Elder Sun naturally had this thinking in his subconscious.

Constantly comparing oneself to others will only make one angry. If there was really the appearance of a fifteen or sixteen year old armament refining genius who reached fifth rank, then his status as ‘the first person in the past sixteen years in the Armament Guild’ would totally be forsaken.

Not only him, all the young Armament Masters present more or less had the same thinking in mind hence they repeatedly doubted Huang Yueli’s ability.

But this kind of dark thoughts was actually exposed right out in the open, and that put Elder Sun on the spot.

He really flew into a rage out of humiliation now as he gave a cold humpf and heavily banged his fist on the table.

The paper and pen all bounced up from the action and scattered everywhere from the impact.

“Good, very good! You dare to say this kind of thing to This Master, it seems that you really think that your own ability is very strong!” Elder Sun spat these out word by word.

Huang Yueli replied calmly, “I won’t dare to say my ability is very strong but at least my fame follows my merit.”

“Very good! Then to prove that your ability indeed matches up to the badge on your chest, as an Elder of the Armament Guild, I have the authority to re-assess other branches Armament Guild certification! Since you’re so confident, then you shall then redo the fourth rank certification in front of everyone, to certify your ability!” Elder Sun spoke in a harsh tone.

Huang Yueli was slightly stunned, “Redo the certification?”

Elder Sun gave a cold huff, “Why? Trying to pretend that you don’t know? Didn’t you say that you were very familiar with the Armament Guild regulations? Every Elder from the Headquarters can request to do a re-assessment towards suspicious parties.”

Saying that, he pointed at the substantial regulation system which was hung on the wall of the reception hall.

“Don’t believe then see it for yourself, could this Master even lie to you?”

Huang Yueli turned her eyes to take a look and indeed found such a regulation.

Headquarters Elders indeed had such an authority but the party for re-assessment was only limited to various Armament Guild branches which were fourth rank Armament Master and below whereas those who were awarded the certification in the Headquarters need not be re-assessed.

Huang Yueli was rendered speechless for a moment because it was evident that this regulation was something which was added after her self-explosion in her past life.

From this it was obvious that Elder Sun had not been lying to her. These few years the various branches of the Armament Guild had indeed been giving out plenty of lenient certifications…..

“Why? You don’t dare to?” Elder Sun saw that she wasn’t speaking and believed that she must be feeling guilty hence his tone became even more arrogant, “Don’t blame me for not reminding you that if you fail the re-assessment, your current fourth rank badge will be retracted back immediately and you will not be able to take part in any Armament Master certification for the next three years. In the three years duration, you will only be able to assume the status of an apprentice!”

“Of course, if you’re afraid and do not dare to take part in the re-assessment, then This Master here isn’t a narrow minded person. As long as you sincerely admit that your ability isn’t up to standard and apologize to me for your impolite behaviour earlier, I won’t delve into this matter.”

Huang Yueli was very clear that Elder Sun’s pretence of being magnanimous was actually a sinister trap.

If she refused to do the re-assessment, even if she was able to retain the fourth rank badge, but having to admit that she is not worthy of the certification badge in front of so many other Armament Masters, what was the difference between that and having the badge being retracted?

Both ways would equate to her reputation going down the drain, resulting in her becoming a joke among all the Armament Masters!

On the contrary, Elder Sun’s words made him appear to be broad-minded.

As expected, many young Armament Masters all started to praise Elder Sun’s character.

Many of them stared at Huang Yueli with four words written all over their faces – Gloating over one’s misfortune!
