Mu Chen stared fixedly at Lu Fa and asked hoarsely, "Y-you're already a God Craftsman?!"
Such distinct intelligence, such a lifelike form—this was simply not something Soul Refinement could achieve.
Heaven Forging!
It was the only explanation Mu Chen could think of.
No, Mu Chen had seen Zhen Hua's previous Heaven Forged Metals. In terms of intelligence, none of them could compare to the Big White Goose before him.
Combined with the fluctuations he had sensed earlier, no matter how unwilling he was to believe it, everything before Mu Chen pointed to one fact.
God Craftsman!
How was that possible?! How old was Lu Fa?!
Facing Mu Chen's question, Lu Fa had no intention of concealing it. He nodded and said, "It was somewhat troublesome, but this fellow is indeed Heaven-Forged Metal. However, my cultivation isn't sufficient yet, so I can't forge continuously. After forging once, I'll probably need a long period of rest."
The instant Lu Fa nodded, speculation became reality.
A God Craftsman under twenty years old! There had probably never been one in the entire history of the blacksmithing world! Mu Chen screamed inwardly.
"However, although the forging succeeded, there was a mistake during the final shaping stage, causing that piece of Heaven-Forged Metal to become like this. So I don't know whether I can truly be considered a God Craftsman." Lu Fa sounded somewhat embarrassed as he said this.
"Of course you count," Mu Chen immediately said. "As long as you can successfully perform Heaven Forging, you're a God Craftsman. Moreover, this Big White Goose's intelligence far surpasses any Heaven-Forged Metal I've seen before. Even among Heaven-Forged Metals, it is absolutely top-tier."
By the end, Mu Chen's gaze toward the Big White Goose was filled with burning eagerness. Metal that could move like a living creature
