Forging Secret Method

Clang! Clang! Clang!

As Tang Wulin's forging hammers continued to fall, the silver radiance emitted by the Deep Silver on the table grew increasingly brilliant. Once it reached its critical point, it suddenly burst forth like a cluster of fireworks.

When the light faded, the Deep Silver on the Forging Table had lost its original silver sheen, turning a dark black. However, layers of exquisite Cloud Patterns had appeared across its surface.

Tiny, delicate flecks of Spiritual Luster shimmered atop the Cloud Patterns like stars.

Thousand Forging Spirit Attraction, complete!

As soon as Tang Wulin stopped, the Evaluator stepped forward to appraise it.

Watching the Evaluator continue his tests, Tang Wulin wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face full of confidence.

He had been in excellent form this time. It had definitely been an exceptional performance, and his forging time had been a full three hours shorter than last time.

"Excellent quality, brimming with spirituality! Ten out of ten. You pass!"

The Evaluator set down the instrument in his hand and stared at Tang Wulin in shock. Forget a third-grade forging master—even in the Fourth-Grade Forging Master Exam, this would have earned full marks in this category.

As long as Tang Wulin mastered a few more types of Thousand Forged Metal, he would be qualified to challenge the Fourth-Grade Forging Master Exam.

"Good! Wulin, from today onward, you are a third-grade forging master—a Master-level forging master."

Mu Chen's eyes were filled with admiration as he continued.

"At the same time, you are also the youngest third-grade forging master in the continent's history. Even my senior brother only succeeded after turning ten."

Tang Wulin had truly given him an enormous surprise. Even if Lin Xuan's performance fell short of Tang Wulin's afterward, Mu Chen had decided to accept Mang Tian's proposal.

"Thank you, President! It's all thanks to Teacher. Without Teacher's guidance, I wouldn't have my current abilities."

Tang Wulin scratched his head sheepishly, then added,

"But if we're talking about setting records, it wouldn't be me..."

Tang Wulin's gaze fell on Lin Xuan, who was sitting on the sofa and single-mindedly stuffing himself with fruit.

Brother Xuan had completed Thousand Forging a year ago, when he was only eight!

At the moment, Lin Xuan was utterly oblivious to the outside world, eating one fruit after another with great relish. He had only just discovered that the fruit on the table seemed to be Spiritual Fruit. After eating them, his Soul Power had actually increased slightly.

As expected of a Saint Craftsman! What an absolute rich bastard!

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

Mang Tian nodded approvingly.

Compared with a cheat like Lin Xuan, he had indeed put considerable thought into teaching Tang Wulin.

"Oh?"

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

If Lin Xuan was no less capable than Tang Wulin, he would have to consider blocking his senior brother Zhen Hua for the next few years.

"Xiao Xuan! It's your turn for the exam!"

Mang Tian turned and called out to Lin Xuan.

Though this disciple had joined last, he somehow faintly gave off the feeling of being the eldest disciple under Mang Tian.

Although Lin Xuan could be a little impulsive at times, he was generally very steady. He planned everything out and never went beyond Mang Tian's control.

"Okay~ I'm coming!"

Lin Xuan stuffed the last Spiritual Fruit from the table into his mouth, wiped his mouth, and walked over.

"What does the Fourth-Grade Forging Master Exam involve?"

Lin Xuan looked at the Evaluator and asked.

Mang Tian's intentions were already obvious. Since he was going to take Mu Chen as his teacher, he might as well make a big impression. That way, he would receive even more attention afterward.

Even setting aside Mu Chen's identity as a Saint Craftsman, merely belonging to the lineage of a Divine Craftsman was enough to place him among the continent's elite.

"You want to take the fourth-grade forging master exam directly? Don't act on impulse."

The Evaluator's eyes suddenly widened as he asked again in disbelief.

What the hell? It was already outrageous enough that the kid just now had passed the third-grade forging master exam at nine. Now there was another one attempting the fourth-grade exam.

You didn't look much older than that little guy, did you? Don't tell me this was just childish competitiveness.

"I'm sure."

Lin Xuan nodded.

This Evaluator was way too unprofessional. Didn't he have any sense at all? Couldn't he see that the two leaders beside him had no objections?

"Let him try!"

Seeing that Mang Tian beside him did not stop Lin Xuan, Mu Chen thought to himself that this kid probably really had something.

"Yes, President."

The Evaluator also realized his mistake. He was merely a tool for keeping records, yet he had talked too much just now.

The Evaluator opened the handbook in his hands and slowly looked at Lin Xuan.

"The Fourth-Grade Forging Master Exam requires forging three types of Thousand Forged Metal. The finished products must not score below sixty points..."

After reading out the exam requirements to Lin Xuan, the Evaluator pressed the switch on the Soul Guide Camera beside him and nodded at Lin Xuan.

"You may begin."

Lin Xuan walked directly into the Isolation Array. The moment he entered, the faint sounds of the other blacksmiths outside vanished instantly, and the entire space fell silent.

"So this is a Soul Tool Formation Array? Kind of amazing."

Lin Xuan curiously glanced at the thin blue barrier. He thought that if he had the chance in the future, he could perhaps expand his skills in this area as well.

Refocusing, Lin Xuan walked up to the Electronic Light Screen and selected three pieces of Rare Metal.

Before long, the three pieces of Rare Metal were delivered.

"Phoenix Luan Azure Gold, Deep Sea Blue Gold, Blue Pregnant Copper."

Mu Chen frowned as he looked at the three metals Lin Xuan had chosen. None of them were ordinary Rare Metals, and each was harder to forge than the last.

Lin Xuan had naturally chosen these three Rare Metals to max out his forging skill Proficiency while he had the chance. As long as he did not make a mistake, he would not have to pay for the metals used in the exam. It was practically free.

"Old Mang! Is this kid confident?"

After pondering for a moment, Mu Chen still asked Mang Tian beside him.

"No problem. The real highlight comes later."

Mang Tian said calmly. He took one look at Lin Xuan's movements and immediately understood what he was planning, a faint smile appearing on his face.

The truly outrageous part had not even begun yet!

Seeing Mang Tian's expression, Mu Chen grew even more curious. Mang Tian had not been this confident when Tang Wulin was forging just now. He seemed to think even more highly of Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan picked up the three pieces of Rare Metal, tossed them all into the Heating Furnace at once, then placed them on the Forging Table one by one.

That was right! He intended to forge all three pieces of metal at the same time!

This was a technique Lin Xuan had figured out on his own. It was the fastest way to grind forging Proficiency. It increased the difficulty while raising efficiency—killing several birds with one stone.

Bang! Bang bang!

Lin Xuan raised the forging hammer beside him and tapped the three metal blocks one after another as lightly as a dragonfly touching water. Faced with different metal blocks, he used different amounts of force.

"Tr... Triple Forging?"

Mu Chen blurted out in shock.

He knew about Double Forging, but he had never even heard of Triple Forging. Moreover, Lin Xuan's technique did not look like Double Forging at all.

"This is a forging technique Xiao Xuan developed on his own. I was stunned for a long while when I first saw it too."

Seeing that Mu Chen's eyes were practically about to fall out, Mang Tian felt immensely satisfied. It seemed that even a Saint Craftsman was no different from him.

And this was nothing yet! It was only three pieces...

Mang Tian's gaze toward Lin Xuan carried a hint of nostalgia. Back when Lin Xuan had been at his most insane in grinding Proficiency, he had forged eight pieces at once.

Eight pieces—eight whole pieces!

Heaven knew how Mang Tian had felt when he came out of the break room and saw that scene. All he knew was that it had felt as though the sky had collapsed!

Lin Xuan had completely overturned everything he knew. From that moment onward, Mang Tian had made up his mind: he had to find another forging teacher for him and Tang Wulin.

He could not suffer through this alone!

With Lin Xuan as a disciple, a mere Sixth-Grade Blacksmith like him could not handle it! He simply could not handle it!

The gap between people was sometimes even greater than the gap between a person and a pig.
