"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
As Tang Wulin's forging hammer fell repeatedly, the silver light emanating from the heavy silver on the forging table became increasingly brilliant. Reaching a critical point, it burst open like a firework.
When the light faded, the original silver luster of the heavy silver on the forging table disappeared, turning into a jet-black surface, but with layers of exquisite cloud patterns.
A few delicate spiritual glimmers shimmered on the cloud patterns, like stars.
Thousand Forgings Inducing Spirit, Complete!
After Tang Wulin stopped, the evaluator immediately stepped forward to assess the work.
Looking at the evaluator still testing, Tang Wulin wiped the sweat from his brow, his face full of confidence.
This time, his condition was excellent, an absolute superhuman performance; the forging time was three hours less than last time.
"Excellent quality, overflowing with spiritual energy! Full marks of ten, assessment passed!"
The evaluator put down the instrument in his hand, looking at Tang Wulin with astonishment. Let alone a level three forger, even a level four forger would get full marks in this section.
Given more time, once Tang Wulin masters several more types of thousand-refined metals, he will be qualified to attempt to become a fourth-level blacksmith.
"Good! Wulin, from today onwards you are a third-level blacksmith, that is, a master-level blacksmith."
Mu Chen's eyes were full of admiration as he continued,
"You are also the youngest third-level blacksmith in the history of the continent. Even my senior brother didn't succeed until he was ten years old."
Tang Wulin had truly given him a huge surprise. Even if Lin Xuan's performance wasn't as good as Tang Wulin's, Mu Chen decided to accept Mang Tian's suggestion.
"Thank you, President! It's all thanks to my teacher. Without his guidance, I wouldn't have my current abilities."
Tang Wulin scratched his head sheepishly and then said,
"If we're talking about setting records, it wouldn't be me..."
Tang Wulin's gaze fell on Lin Xuan, who was intently showing off his fruit on the sofa.
A year ago, Brother Xuan had already completed a thousand-refined blacksmithing; he was only eight years old then!
Lin Xuan, oblivious to everything around him, was happily munching on the fruit. He had only just realized that the fruit on the table seemed to be spiritual fruit, and that eating it had actually slightly increased his soul power.
Truly worthy of a Saint Craftsman! A real tycoon!
"This is inseparable from your hard work and talent, Wu Lin!"
Mang Tian nodded with satisfaction.
Compared to Lin Xuan, who was practically a cheat, he had indeed put a lot of effort into teaching Tang Wu Lin.
"Oh?"
Mu Chen's eyes lit up at Tang Wu Lin's reaction; could there be another surprise?
If Lin Xuan was no less capable than Tang Wu Lin, he'd have to consider whether to blacklist his senior brother Zhen Hua for the next few years.
"Xiao Xuan! It's your turn for the assessment!"
Mang Tian turned to Lin Xuan and said.
This disciple, despite being the last to join, seemed to have the air of his eldest disciple.
Although Lin Xuan was occasionally a bit impulsive, he was generally very steady, always having a plan and never straying from his control.
"Oh~ It's here!"
Lin Xuan popped the last piece of spiritual fruit on the table into his mouth, rubbed his lips, and walked over.
"What are the assessment contents for a Level 4 Blacksmith?"
Lin Xuan looked at the assessor and asked.
Mang Tian's intentions were already very clear. Since he wanted to become Mu Chen's apprentice, he should give him a tough test, so that he would receive more attention afterward.
Even without mentioning his status as a Saint Craftsman, the fact that he had a sect of Divine Craftsmen was enough to make him a member of the upper class on this continent.
"You want to directly take the Level 4 Blacksmith assessment? Don't be impulsive."
The assessor's eyes suddenly widened, and he asked again in disbelief.
Good heavens, that kid passed the Level 3 Blacksmith assessment at the age of nine, and now there's someone taking the Level 4 Blacksmith assessment.
You don't look much older than that little guy from before, do you? Don't tell me it's just children being competitive.
"I'm sure!"
Lin Xuan nodded.
"This evaluator is so unprofessional! He has no tact whatsoever. Didn't he see the two leaders next to him have no objections?
"Let him try!"
Mu Chen thought to himself, seeing that Mang Tian wasn't stopping him. He figured this kid probably really had something.
"Yes, Chairman."
The evaluator realized his mistake; he was just a record-keeping tool, and he'd talked too much.
The evaluator opened the manual and slowly looked at Lin Xuan.
"The Level 4 Blacksmith assessment requires forging three types of thousand-refinement metals. The finished product must score no less than sixty points..."
After reading the assessment content to Lin Xuan, the evaluator pressed the switch on the soul-guided camera next to him and nodded.
"You can begin."
Lin Xuan walked directly into the isolation array. As soon as he entered, the faint sounds from the other blacksmiths outside instantly disappeared, and the entire space fell into silence.
"Is this a soul-guided array? It's quite magical."
Lin Xuan curiously glanced at the thin blue barrier. He thought that he might be able to expand his skills in this area someday.
Regaining his attention, Lin Xuan went to the electronic screen and selected three rare metals.
Soon after, the three metals were delivered.
"Phoenix Azure Gold, Deep Sea Blue Gold, and Blue Pregnant Copper."
Mu Chen frowned as he looked at the three metals Lin Xuan had chosen. These weren't ordinary rare metals; each one was more difficult to forge than the last.
Lin Xuan had chosen these three rare metals to take the opportunity to max out his forging skill proficiency. As long as he didn't make a mistake, he wouldn't have to pay for these metals—it was practically free.
"Old Mang! Is this kid confident?"
Mu Chen pondered for a moment, then asked Mang Tian beside him.
"A minor issue; the more crucial part is yet to come,"
Mang Tian said calmly. He glanced at Lin Xuan's actions and immediately understood his thoughts, a slight smile playing on his lips.
The most outrageous part was yet to come!
Seeing Mang Tian's expression, Mu Chen's curiosity intensified. When Tang Wulin was forging, Mang Tian wasn't so confident; he seemed to have a higher opinion of Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan picked up three pieces of rare metal and threw them all into the heating furnace to heat them, then placed them one by one on the forging table.
That's right! He planned to forge three pieces of metal simultaneously!
This was a technique Lin Xuan had figured out himself; it was the fastest way to improve forging proficiency. It increased both the difficulty and the efficiency—a win-win situation.
"Bang! Bang bang!"
Lin Xuan raised the forging hammer beside him and, like a dragonfly skimming the water, struck each of the three metal blocks. The force Lin Xuan used varied depending on the metal block.
"Three...three forging?"
Mu Chen exclaimed in surprise.
He knew about double forging, but triple forging was unheard of, and besides, Lin Xuan's technique didn't seem like double forging.
"This is a forging technique that Xiao Xuan figured out on his own. I was absolutely shocked for a long time back then."
Mang Tian looked at Mu Chen, whose eyes were practically popping out of his head, and felt very pleased. It seemed that even a Saint-level craftsman was about the same as him.
And this was nothing! Just three pieces...
Mang Tian looked at Lin Xuan with a hint of reminiscence. Back when Lin Xuan was grinding proficiency at his most frantically, he forged eight pieces at the same time.
Eight pieces, a whole eight pieces!
Heaven knows what Mang Tian felt when he came out of the rest room and saw this scene. He felt like the sky had fallen!
Lin Xuan completely overturned his understanding. From that moment on, Mang Tian made up his mind that he must find another forging teacher for himself and Tang Wulin.
He couldn't suffer this hardship alone! He, a mere sixth-level forging master, couldn't handle Lin Xuan, his apprentice! He simply couldn't handle him!
The gap between people is sometimes greater than the gap between a person and a pig.
