Earth Grade Weapon

The old man name was Aven, and he was the highest rank forger of the dawn city as well as the branch manager. When he heard what his assistants said, Of course, he didn't believe it. He thought someone was joking. But then again his assistant knows his temper better than anyone else.

"Andrew do you even know, what you are talking about," Aven said while frowning.

"I know it is hard to believe, but I have the video recording of that room."

The middle age man who called Andrew played the holographic video recording. In the video, a young man was skillfully forging, and the entire procedure was very steady like he was not some random applicant, but a seasoned grandmaster forger.

After the video ended, the whole room submerged in silence. The old man Aven was in deep thought, After some interval, he broke the ice and spoke,

"What is the name of this person and what you know about him."

"Lifeng, candidate number 844," Andrew reported the info about the Lifeng.

"A cadet in the military academy and Three months ago took the novice forger exam and cleared it."

"You are saying that It only took him to make a rank weapon after becoming a novice forger. Who is his master?" Aven wanted to know about the person who could teach such a monster level genius.

"Sir according to our investigation he didn't have any master," Andrew replied.

"Impossible you are saying he was self-taught... Hahaha, Interesting, Its is very interesting. Looks like soon there will be his name in the current generation top talent list.

"Don't tell anyone about this matter." He warned Andrew in a stern voice.

'I'm looking onward to your performance tomorrow Lifeng.' Aven grumbled inwardly.

****************************************************

At dawn Lifeng who was unconscious, Started to awake. The room temperature was so low that Lifeng felt that he was sleeping in the snow.

He slowly opened his eyes, but the view was quite foggy, He rubbed his eyes but still couldn't get rid of the hazy sight.

When he got thoroughly conscious, he realized that it was not that his eyes had a problem but the room.

The entire room was enveloped in fog, and the temperature was freezing, but the most astonishing spectacle was the dagger that was hovering in mid-air.

"System what the hell going on," Lifeng asked the System in trembling voice.

It was not confirmed that the trembling voice of Lifeng was due to panic or the cold environment.

*DING*

[Congratulation user to forge an earth grade weapon]

*DING*

[exp gained 15000]

*DING*

[congratulation User for Level up]

[User level is now 15]

[free stats points *20]

*DING*

[congratulation User for Level up]

[User level is now 16]

[free stats points *20].

He didn't receive any reply of his question, instead, there were the lines of notifications ranging in his head.

After he listened to the notification, he remembered that he was forging last night, and everything was advancing pretty fine until he merged the ice crystal.

"I remembered that ice crystal..." Lifeng didn't finish his line before the system spoke.

[I have never seen such a big idiot like you before. How could you just use it in forging with your current level? Did you think it was some sort of low-level material, then for your information, it is not. I already told at the cave that these were the pure essence of elements. It takes thousands of years to form a solid crystal of pure essence, and that was only the size of a pigeon egg. And the one you used was the size of a fist, do you understand how wasteful that was to merged it with inferior material]. System criticized him.

[As for the process, it's all because you have water of life that you still alive. if I didn't take control of your body and utilized the water on time, then your soul will have perished.] System continued.

"Amm sorry I was very excited back then, so I forgot to ask about it." Lifeng apologized.

"System previously when I leveled up. I got 50 free stats points, but this time it's only 20." Lifeng asked awkwardly.

[Its because that was your first level up in this world system granted the additional thirty points as a reward, The points obtaining rate is 20 per level if nothing exceptional happened.

Lifeng didn't ask anything further and picked himself from bed walked towards the dagger, the more he got near it, the colder it became.

The dagger was well refined, and the combination of deep black and light silver blue color made very attractive.

He checked its stats.

"System why its attack power is so extraordinary," Lifeng asked in astonishment.

[Because it's an earth grade weapon] System replied.

"I mean, Its really too OP," Lifeng spoke in little hesitation.

[Because it's an earth grade weapon] System replied again in machinal voice.

"Yeah... Ahem, its skills are also very awesome." Lifeng was feeling little flustered.

[Because it's an earth grade weapon] The emotionless voice sounded again.

"Ok... System You win, now are you happy, I really don't know about earth grade." Cried Lifeng.

[You should have said it from the beginning]. System commented.

"..."

[The artifacts are divided into different grades]

First, the common weapon produced by ordinary people then comes rank one they are crafted by Forger, just like the knife you forge before.

The rank Artifacts also divided between tiers like"

Lowest, low, mid, high, Peak tier.

you need to forge at least Lowest tier to become a beginner Forger,

mid-tier to intermediate forger and peak tier to become an advanced one.

After rank grade artifact comes Earth grade, you will become one-star master forger after successfully producing the lowest tier Earth grade artifact and so on:

Common ⇨ Rank ⇨ Earth ⇨ Sky ⇨ Spirt ⇨ Royal ⇨ Imperial ⇨ Legendary ⇨ Mythical...] System finished its explanation.

"The earth grade weapon is already powerful, what about Myth?" Lifeng swallowed this saliva.

Lifeng was in a daze then suddenly he remembered something.

"System Like Artifacts, does materials also classified in grades."

[Yes,] (system)

"Then..." (Lifeng)

[Royal grade high tier] (System)

Lifeng dropped on his knees, "I used a Royal grade material to forge an Earth grade artifact, this is extremely unfair." He wanted to cry, but no tears came out from the eyes.

******************************************************************************************

Morning the whole forging association building was filled with candidates.

Lifeng was also walking toward the test center as he heard a similar voice.

"Mr. Lifeng you are here." yes that the beautiful girl he met yesterday 'Luna.'

"Miss Luna How are you." Lifeng greeted her.

"I'm fine, thanks for asking, and I hope you had a pleasant sleep." Luna smiled cheerfully.

"Hmmm." Lifeng only nodded.

Both of them arrived at the test center and its there turn to enter the building.

"No 844." A person announced the same number written on Lifeng pass. Lifeng walked toward the entrance of the hall.

"It's me." He spoke as he handed his pass to him.

"Sir, We are sorry, but you have to take off your sunglasses before you enter." A young lady 'standing next to the person who took Lifeng's pass' spoke.

"It's only a usual glasses, do I really have to remove them?" Lifeng asked them uncertainly.

"Sorry sir, It's the rule." The Lady spoke again politely.

*SIGH*

Lifeng took a deep breath and sighed while taking the glasses off.

When the young Lady saw his silver color eyes, she was shocked.

There was an awkward silence, the man standing beside the lady also became dumbfounded.
