Zhen Hua Takes a Disciple, Mu Chen's Fury

"Where's your Forging Master Badge? What level blacksmith are you? You just mentioned taking some Final Exam. Did they take your Forging Master Badge away too?"

The Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua examined Long Yuan's body and found it completely empty, without even a personal Soul Tool.

Even as a Divine Craftsman, he couldn't tell what level of blacksmith Long Yuan was at.

The Spirit Alloy, Star Silver, that Long Yuan just finished Spirit Fusion Forging must be Divine Metal with a Spirit Fusion Forging rate exceeding 95%.

With his sharp eyesight, he doesn't need any instruments to measure; he can tell at a glance.

"Divine Craftsman, my name is Long Yuan. Because I am currently taking the Final Exam arranged by the academy, all my possessions have been taken away by the academy. Therefore, even my indispensable Forging Hammer and badge have been taken away."

My current blacksmith level is level six!

Level 6...

Upon hearing this, both Zhen Hua and the surrounding blacksmiths showed expressions of shock.

A fourteen-year-old Sixth-Level Forging Master? That's already a record-breaking achievement.

Zhen Hua gasped in shock; his record had been broken by this kid.

"Mu Chen is really lucky; he actually ran into such a Prodigy disciple as you!"

"Never mind, Long Yuan, from now on you are my disciple, Zhen Hua. I will inform your teacher!"

Shocked, Zhen Hua looked directly at Long Yuan and announced that Long Yuan was now his disciple.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding blacksmiths were in an uproar, their eyes widening as they cast envious glances at Long Yuan.

The Divine Craftsman actually wants to take Long Yuan as his apprentice.

With the appreciation and guidance of the Divine Craftsman, Long Yuan's future achievements in forging will be limitless.

Moreover, with Long Yuan's forging talent, he is very likely to become another outstanding Divine Craftsman in the near future.

"Senior, I'm afraid this won't work..."

What? Upon hearing Long Yuan's words, everyone, including the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua, showed expressions of shock.

Has this kid gone mad? Does he even know who he's rejecting? He's rejecting the only Divine Craftsman on the Douluo Continent!

"Think it through before you speak, kid!"

Even the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua had his own pride, but seeing how outstanding Long Yuan, he didn't care whether Mu Chen blamed him or not.

Regardless of what the world might say about him, he used his status as Divine Craftsman to steal someone else's disciple.

He disregarded all the negative rumors and humbled himself to accept Long Yuan as a disciple.

Unexpectedly, Long Yuan actually wanted to refuse.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Divine Craftsman. I am naturally willing to become your apprentice. However, I already have three teachers, and I am afraid they will blame me!"

Long Yuan quickly told the truth.

He already has three forging teachers: Mang Tian, Mu Chen, and then Feng Wuyu.

"Three teachers..."

Upon hearing Long Yuan's words, Zhen Hua frowned again.

There's an unwritten rule in the forging world: once you've taken on a master, you can't take on another.

This was the first time he had ever heard of a place like Long Yuan, with three forging masters.

"Who are they? Tell me!"

Zhen Hua asked curiously.

"Teacher Mang Tian, Teacher Mu Chen, and Teacher Feng Wuyu!"

Without hesitation, Long Yuan named the three teachers.

"Okay, I understand. I'll let them know later. You can rest assured and become my disciple. You already have three teachers, so what's the harm in having one more?"

Besides, in my opinion, as long as one can improve their forging skills, and as long as they don't do anything disrespectful to their master, it doesn't matter how many teachers they have!

These words were not only spoken by Zhen Hua to Long Yuan, but also to the blacksmiths present.

The idea of disobeying one's master is an outdated one that should have been discarded long ago.

"Um... President, can I take this piece of Star Silver? I'll pay for the metal after I finish my Final Exam!"

Long Yuan has already wasted a lot of time; he needs to find a way to earn enough money as soon as possible before heading to the next city.

"It was originally yours, and those Forging Hammer are yours too."

As he spoke, Zhen Hua pointed to the Duan Yunjin Forging Hammer been using.

With its Vibration Hammer effect, it's definitely worth a fortune.

"Also, please call me teacher. From now on, I, Zhen Hua, am your teacher. If you have any difficulties, just come to me, and I will help you solve them!"

Zhen Hua glared at Long Yuan. Why is this kid so slow to understand now?

"Thank you very much, teacher!"

Long Yuan knew that if he hesitated any longer, it wouldn't be right, so he immediately bowed and performed a formal apprenticeship ceremony.

Then he held the Cloud Gold Forging Hammer and the Spirit Alloy Star Silver in his hands.

"You don't have Soul Tool? Come on, I'll give you one!"

With that, Zhen Hua walked out of the inner circle, followed closely by Long Yuan. Under the envious gazes of everyone, they headed towards the interior of the Forging Masters Association.

Long Yuan and Zhen Hua took the elevator and soon appeared in a spacious office.

"Please make yourself at home, I'm just making a call!"

Zhen Hua instructed Long Yuan to sit down, and then began to use the Soul Tool communicator to call Mu Chen.

"Hello..." After a few beeps, a voice came from the other end of the communicator. Hearing this voice, Long Yuan was stunned. It sounded so familiar.

It was his teacher, Mu Chen.

Could it be that Teacher Zhen Hua is...?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder; Teacher Mu Chen was probably about to lose his temper.

"Mu Chen, I've met your disciple Long Yuan. That kid is indeed outstanding."

Zhen Hua got straight to the point, speaking directly to Mu Chen in front of Long Yuan.

After a three-second silence on the other end of the communicator, someone said, "This kid? Zhen Hua, is Long Yuan with you? Let me tell you, he's my most prized disciple. Don't even think about it, or I'll make you pay."

When Zhen Hua and Mu Chen spoke about Long Yuan, they referred to him as "this kid."

It was as if he was talking to Mu Chen while pointing at Long Yuan, and the latter's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua is going to steal his apprentice!

Previously, Long Yuan was snatched away by that Old Madman Feng Wuyu, and now it has been snatched away by that old guy Zhen Hua.

How hateful!

Why are you getting so excited? Getting excited is bad for your health.

Let me tell you, Long Yuan has already reached the mid-to-late stage of Spirit Fusion Forging. It won't be long before he can attempt Soul Forging.

With his talent, he will soon become Divine Craftsman.

"Divine Craftsman, are you capable of guiding him to achieve that? Only I, Zhen Hua, can. Entrusting him to you will only hinder him. Let me tell you, I'm making this call simply to inform you, not to solicit your opinion!"

"I..."

At this point, Zhen Hua was also very excited. Mu Chen wanted to say something, but the communicator was hung up.

In Shrek City, in the office of the Forging Masters Association President, Mu Chen suddenly slammed the Soul Guidance Communicator to the ground.

"Damn it, that old bastard Zhen Hua, how dare he steal my disciple! I'll @#￥&~"

Mu Chen stood up, gesturing with his hands, a frenzied expression on his face.

Sometimes he would mimic kneading motions, and other times he would mimic slapping something away and then jumping on it to stomp it to death.

"How hateful, so utterly hateful..."

"Dad, what's wrong?"

At this moment, Mu Xi walked into the office, saw Mu Chen's appearance, and asked with a puzzled look.

Seeing his daughter walk in, Mu Chen looked embarrassed and quickly composed himself, sitting back down on the sofa.

His face was flushed and his neck was red; he hadn't completely calmed down yet.
