Gu Yue Na Troubled by Another Personality

Chen An hesitated for a moment and chose not to drip his blood. There was no rush to perform the blood sacrifice.

After all, this was only his first time forging. He had no experience, so the finished product was surely nothing special.

The material he had used was fairly ordinary as well. Performing a blood sacrifice on it felt a little too casual.

"I'll have a staff member help me evaluate it later," Chen An murmured.

He suspected that he might have completed Thousand Refinements, but whether that was truly the case still needed confirmation.

He knew far too little about forging to make the judgment himself.

Still, this forging session had opened the door to a whole new world for him.

He had already developed a strong interest in forging—an instinctive sort of interest.

"This metal-element power is even more useful than I expected."

Chen An was greatly surprised by his metal-element ability, and it brought him a pleasant surprise.

His first forging attempt had gone smoothly, and the result might even have reached Thousand Refinements.

That was all thanks to his special connection with metal. It had guided him through the forging process.

That meant he would not need to deliberately study forging in the future. Metal itself would be his best teacher.

Perhaps it was the best forging teacher in the world. What could understand metal better than metal itself?

After resting for a while, Chen An took the metal to the front desk.

After speaking with a staff member, he asked him to help confirm the metal's forging grade.

"Please wait a moment," the staff member said politely before taking the metal away.

Chen An waited patiently. Before long, the staff member returned.

A middle-aged man followed behind him, holding the piece of metal in his hand.

"Master Li, this is the owner of the metal," the staff member introduced.

"This is Master Li from our workshop. He is a Fourth-Level Blacksmith."

"Hello." Before Chen An could greet him, Master Li eagerly extended his hand.

Chen An found the man's enthusiasm a little strange, but he still shook his hand politely.

"Did you really forge this piece of metal?" Master Li asked skeptically.

He looked Chen An up and down, his face full of disbelief.

"Is there something wrong with the metal?" Chen An asked instead of answering.

The man's reaction was most likely related to the metal.

"There's nothing wrong with it. Nothing at all. This Thousand Refinements Second Grade metal is of excellent quality."

"Among all the Thousand Refinements Second Grade metals I've seen, it is definitely one of the very best."

Master Li spared no praise as he continued looking Chen An over.

Seeing that he was only twelve or thirteen, his astonishment deepened.

A Third-Level Blacksmith at such an age was bound to achieve extraordinary things in the future.

"Is that so?" Chen An smiled. It seemed his guess had been right.

He had indeed completed Thousand Refinements, and he had done it quite well, producing something of excellent quality.

That was only natural. After all, he had forged it according to the guidance provided by the metal itself.

As long as he followed the pattern, a few minor mistakes would not affect the overall result much.

By that logic, he was now considered a Third-Level Blacksmith.

Going from no forging experience at all to becoming a Third-Level Blacksmith in one leap was quite a jump.

"Help me estimate the price of this metal. If the offer is suitable, I'd like to sell it," Chen An said.

He felt a strange attachment to the first piece of metal he had ever forged.

But what he needed most right now was money. It would be best to repay the ten million he had borrowed from Di Tian as soon as possible.

He disliked the feeling of owing money, as though he had let the other party down somehow.

"No problem. The reason I came to see you was to ask whether you were willing to sell this piece of metal," Master Li said with a broad smile, immediately appraising the metal in front of Chen An.

Not long afterward, Chen An left with the one hundred thousand Federal Currency he had earned from selling the metal.

The metal he had forged was fairly ordinary, with an original value of only around one hundred Federal Currency.

After his forging, its value had increased a thousandfold. It was truly astonishing.

This showed just how much value Thousand Refinements could give to metal.

If he forged metal that was already valuable to begin with, its worth after Thousand Refinements would only be even higher.

On the way back, Chen An was already looking forward to trying again tomorrow.

He had no strength left now and could not attempt to make a Soul Tool again.

He could only return to rest and come back tomorrow to try.

When he returned to the hotel floor where he was staying, he subconsciously glanced at Gu Yue Na's room as he passed it.

A special aura seeped out from the room. It should have been the so-called Dragon Might.

Because of him, Gu Yue Na's fate had changed somewhat.

She had not split into Gu Yue and Na Er. She remained in her original state.

Her Martial Soul was therefore neither an Elemental Envoy nor the Silver Dragon Spear, but the Silver Dragon Queen.

His Martial Soul could emit Dragon Might, so hers certainly could as well.

"Is this because she is suppressing Na Er's personality?" Chen An guessed.

He knew that Gu Yue Na had been affected by Na Er's personality during this period and was doing her utmost to suppress it.

Given her control over her own energy, it normally should not have leaked out of control.

The fact that her aura was now spilling out was likely because Na Er was influencing her.

That also showed how great Na Er's influence over her was.

"A personality may be easy to form, but getting rid of one is incredibly troublesome."

Deep in thought, Chen An returned to his own room.

For now, he and Gu Yue Na were in the same boat. Naturally, he did not want Gu Yue Na to run off to Tang Wulin's side.

He had no grudge against Tang Wulin and, if possible, did not want to become enemies with him.

But he and Yun Ming shared an irreconcilable hatred. As the saying went, hate the monk, hate his cassock.

That hatred had extended to Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, both of which were connected to Tang San.

Tang Wulin was Tang San's son. Once he realized his relationship with Tang San in the future,

he would certainly stand firmly with Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect.

Moreover, based on the course of history, Tang Wulin would most likely join the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy in the future.

If nothing was done, he and Tang Wulin would inevitably end up on opposing sides.

Chen An had considered making a move before Tang Wulin was led by Wu Zhangkong into the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.

For example, he could build a good relationship with him and lure him over to his own side.

That way, he would face less pressure from the Plane Master and even Tang San, who was far away.

After considering it from every angle, he gave up on the idea.

He could not go to Eastsea City. His priority still had to be enrolling in Sun Moon Royal Academy.

Building a close relationship with Tang Wulin was not something that could be done overnight.

He certainly could not stay in Eastsea City for long.

As for bringing Tang Wulin here, would that not be the same as helping Gu Yue Na become lovestruck?

Going there would not work, and bringing him over was unsuitable as well, so he could only abandon the idea.

Besides, he did not want to shamelessly befriend Tang Wulin just so the Plane Master or even Tang San might forgive him for something.

As long as he could destroy Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, then so be it even if he died.
