ch22

After everything was ready, the evaluator let Tang Wulin start.

　　Tang Wulin walked into the magic circle, and the sounds outside instantly disappeared. The only sound in the entire area was his footsteps.

　　He walked forward and slid his fingers across the light screen, and finally chose Shenyin. This was the metal he was best at, and the one he had the highest confidence in forging.

　　On the way here, Mang Tian had already told them to do their best.

　　A few minutes later, the center of the forging table suddenly opened to both sides, and a circular platform slowly rose up. In the center of the circular platform was a silver metal block.

　　The people outside also sat down on the sofa nearby, while Mu Xi squeezed in and sat next to Lin Xuan.

　　"Shen Yin."

　　Mu Chen frowned slightly, but then relaxed. It seemed that this should be the hundredth forging.

　　This Shenyin is a rare metal, and the difficulty of forging it is doubled. Being able to forge Shenyin a thousand times is at least an upper-middle level among third-level blacksmiths.

　　"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

　　After Tang Wulin skillfully heated up the heavy silver, he raised the Thousand Forged Heavy Silver Hammer in his hand and began forging.

　　A brisk and melodious knocking sound came from inside. This isolation formation was a one-way shield. After three crisp sounds, Mu Chen's eyes outside lit up.

　　Stacked hammer! This little guy's silver hammer is a thousand forgings!

　　Mu Chen curled the corners of his mouth, really giving him a surprise right away.

　　"It looks pretty good."

　　Mu Xi next to him was mumbling. From the beginning till now, everyone's attention was attracted by Tang Wulin.

　　"Hey! Is this little brat powerful?"

　　Mu Xi nudged Lin Xuan beside her. She naturally felt her father's attention and felt a little unconvinced.

　　"Not that great, right? And my name isn't Hello. My name is Lin Xuan."

　　Lin Xuan thought about it and told the truth.

　　Tang Wulin had only just entered the Thousand Forgings Stage, so there was still a small gap between him and a veteran like him.

　　"Who's better, you or him?"

　　Mu Xi approached Lin Xuan and asked curiously. A faint girl's fragrance drifted over, and Lin Xuan moved his butt back without making a sound.

　　They got a little close.

　　"Well... I'm a little bit different from him."

　　Lin Xuan raised his hand and made a small gesture between his index finger and thumb.

　　"It's okay! You can come to me later. I'll be a second-level blacksmith soon. I guarantee you'll surpass him!"

　　Mu Xi looked at Lin Xuan's hesitation and thought that Lin Xuan was embarrassed to admit that he was not as good as Tang Wulin.

　　The little girl put one arm around Lin Xuan's shoulders and patted her chest with the other hand, she was so confident.

　　Mu Chen glanced at the two of them, and when he saw that they did not make any further moves, he silently withdrew his gaze.

　　He looked back at Tang Wulin's rhythmic movements. With his eyes, he could naturally see the strange state of Tang Wulin's integration with the metal.

　　More than an hour later, Mu Chen's expression suddenly changed.

　　The heavy silver on the forging table had shrunk a lot, but Tang Wulin continued to hammer down, and a little faint light began to appear on the heavy silver.

　　Thousand Forging Spirits!

　　A hint of surprise flashed in Muchen's eyes. He was really preparing for the Thousand Forgings. At first, when he looked at Tang Wulin's condition, he thought he was going for the Thousand Forgings. He didn't expect it to be true.

　　This guy really found a treasure!

　　Mu Chen glanced at Mang Tian who was standing beside him with a calm look on his face, and thought to himself.

　　"Xixi, can you do Dad a favor?"

　　Mu Chen said to Mu Xi who was still chatting with Lin Xuan beside him.

　　A nine-year-old third-level blacksmith was still too scary. For a new blacksmith like Mu Xi, if his morale was dampened, he would easily become depressed.

　　Out of selfish motives, Muchen still planned to let his daughter avoid the spotlight for a while until she was more mature mentally.

　　"Okay, Dad."

　　Mu Xi responded, then waved happily at Lin Xuan. She spent an hour teaching Lin Xuan some forging tips.

　　"Then I'll come back later and tell you some of the essentials of Baiduan."

　　Mu Xi has studied forging for many years and finally found a place to put her skills to use.

　　Lin Xuan blinked. When this little girl talked about forging, she chirped like a sparrow in the sky. There was no way to stop her fiery passion.

　　However, if she thinks back on this later, wouldn't it be a bit too cruel?

　　"Dad, what do you want me to do?"

　　Mu Xi walked over.

　　"Well."

　　Mu Chen groaned. He really had nothing to do right now. He scanned the room and finally his eyes fell on the fruit plate in front of the sofa.

　　"Xixi, please go buy me some oranges."

　　"Orange? Okay..."

　　Mu Xi showed confusion on her pretty face, but she went obediently anyway.

Chapter 28 Forging Secrets

　　"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

　　As Tang Wulin's forging hammer continued to fall, the silver light emitted by the silver on the stage became brighter and brighter. After reaching the critical point, it suddenly bloomed like a ball of fireworks.

　　When the light faded, the original silver luster of the sunken silver on the forging table faded and turned into a black surface, but there were layers of exquisite cloud patterns on it.

　　A little bit of delicate spiritual luster flickers on the cloud pattern, like stars.

　　Thousand Forging Spirits, Completed!

　　After Tang Wulin stopped, the evaluator stepped forward to assess the situation.

　　Looking at the reviewers who were still testing, Tang Wulin wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face full of confidence.

　　This time he was in very good condition and performed absolutely above average. The forging time was three hours less than last time.

　　"Excellent quality, overflowing with spirituality! Full score of 10, passed the test!"

　　The evaluator put down the instrument in his hand and looked at Tang Wulin in shock. Not to mention a third-level blacksmith, even a fourth-level blacksmith would get full marks in this item.

　　As long as some time passes and Tang Wulin masters a few more types of Thousand Forged Metals, he will be qualified to become a fourth-level blacksmith.

　　"Okay! Wulin, from today on you are a level three blacksmith, which means you are a master blacksmith."

　　Mu Chen's eyes were full of admiration, and then he continued.

　　"You are also the youngest third-level blacksmith in the history of the continent. Even my senior brother did not succeed until he was ten years old."

　　Tang Wulin really gave him a huge surprise. Even if Lin Xuan's performance was not as good as Tang Wulin's, Mu Chen decided to accept Mang Tian's proposal.

　　"Thank you, President! It's all thanks to the teacher. Without the teacher's teaching, I wouldn't have the ability I have now."

　　Tang Wulin touched his head embarrassedly, then continued.

　　"If we talk about setting a record, it won't be me..."

　　Tang Wulin's gaze fell on Lin Xuan, who was concentrating on showing off the fruit on the sofa.

　　Brother Xuan completed the Thousand Forgings a year ago, and he was only eight years old at that time!

　　Lin Xuan was oblivious to what was happening outside the window at this time, and was eating one fruit at a time, enjoying himself. He also just realized that the fruit on the table seemed to be spiritual fruit, and after eating it, it actually increased his soul power a little.

　　He is indeed a saint craftsman! A true dog owner!

　　"This is inseparable from your hard work and talent, Wulin!"

　　Mang Tian nodded with satisfaction.

　　Compared to Lin Xuan, who was a wall-hanger, he did spend a lot of time and effort in teaching Tang Wulin.

　　"oh?"

　　When Mu Chen saw Tang Wulin's reaction, his eyes lit up. Could there be another surprise?

　　If Lin Xuan is no less capable than Tang Wulin, he will have to consider whether or not to block his senior brother Zhenhua in the next few years.

　　"Xiaoxuan! It's your turn to take the test!"

　　Mang Tian turned around and said to Lin Xuan.

　　This disciple was obviously the last one to join the sect, but he gave people the feeling of being his eldest disciple.

　　Although Lin Xuan is a little eccentric sometimes, he is generally very steady. He has plans for everything and nothing is out of his control.

　　"Oh~ Here it comes!"

　　Lin Xuan stuffed the last piece of spiritual fruit on the table into his mouth, touched his mouth and walked away.

　　"What is the content of the assessment for a fourth-level blacksmith?"

　　Lin Xuan looked at the reviewer and asked.

　　Mang Tian's intention is already very clear. Since he wants to become Mu Chen's disciple, he should make him remember his faults. Then he will be more respected in the future.

　　Muchen did not mention his own identity as a Saint Craftsman. The fact that he had a master who was a Divine Craftsman was enough to make him one of the upper class in this continent.

　　"You want to go straight to the fourth-level blacksmith exam? Don't act on impulse."

　　The reviewer's eyes suddenly widened and he asked again in disbelief.

　　Oh my god, it's ok that the kid just passed the third-level blacksmith test at the age of nine, but now there's another one taking the fourth-level blacksmith test.

　　You don't look much older than the little guy just now, right? Don't be a childish argument.

　　"Sure!"

　　Lin Xuan nodded.

　　This reviewer is so unprofessional. He has no sense at all. Didn't he see that the two leaders next to him had no objections?

　　"Let him try!"

　　Seeing that Mang Tian didn't stop him, Mu Chen thought to himself that this kid probably really has something.

　　"Yes! President."

　　The reviewer also realized his own problem. He realized that he was just a recording tool and he had talked too much just now.

　　The reviewer opened the manual in his hand, looked at Lin Xuan slowly and said.

　　"The fourth-level blacksmith assessment requires forging three kinds of thousand-forged metals, and the finished product must not be less than 60 points..."

　　After reading the assessment content to Lin Xuan, the evaluator pressed the switch of the soul guide camera next to him and nodded at Lin Xuan.

　　"It's time to start."

　　Lin Xuan walked directly into the isolation magic circle. As soon as he entered, the faint voices from other blacksmiths outside disappeared instantly, and the entire space fell into silence.

　　"Is this the soul guidance array? It's a bit magical."

　　Lin Xuan looked at the thin blue barrier with curiosity. He thought that he might be able to expand his skills in this area if he had the chance.

　　Refocusing his attention, Lin Xuan came to the electronic light screen and selected three rare metals from it.

　　After a while, the three rare metals were delivered.

　　"Phoenix Green Gold, Deep Sea Blue Gold, Blue Pregnant Copper."

　　Mu Chen frowned as he looked at the three pieces of metal chosen by Lin Xuan. These three were not ordinary rare metals, and the difficulty of forging them was higher than one.

　　Lin Xuan chose these three rare metals naturally in order to take the opportunity to max out his forging proficiency. As long as he didn't make any mistakes, he didn't have to pay for the metals in the test, so it was free.

　　"Old Mang! Is this little guy sure?"

　　Mu Chen groaned for a moment and asked Mang Tian beside him.
