Although Xiao San had Innate Full Soul Power, Blue Silver Grass was ultimately a useless Martial Soul. Xiao Feng, while not possessing Innate Full Soul Power, had an offensive Weapon Martial Soul. In terms of future accomplishments, Xiao Feng might even surpass him.
"Xiao San, Xiao Feng, Grandpa will come find you later. I'll see if I can apply for another spot so that both of you can attend Notting Spirit Master Junior Academy."
Old Jack said to Tang San and Qin Feng.
Holy Spirit Village had one spot every year. Originally, they had planned to send Xiao San to school, but now there was another child. The two were evenly matched in talent, so Old Jack wanted to see whether the neighboring village had any unused spots. He wanted to send both children to school together.
"Thank you, Grandpa Jack."
Tang San and Qin Feng said at the same time.
Seeing how sensible the two children were, Old Jack smiled in satisfaction.
What good deed did that blacksmith do in his previous life? How did he end up with two such sensible children?
"Feng Ge, my name is Tang San."
Tang San said sensibly to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng generously held out his hand. He hadn't expected that card to actually work—he had somehow become the older brother of the future most badass man on Douluo Continent!
And so, Qin Feng followed Tang San back to the forge. After changing clothes, Tang San began cooking while Qin Feng helped tend the fire beside him.
"Xiao San, come here."
Tang Hao called Tang San over.
"Dad, Feng Ge and I are making dinner. It'll be ready soon."
Tang San said to Tang Hao.
"Do you truly want to cultivate?"
Tang Hao looked at Tang San with his clouded eyes.
"I'll listen to you, Dad. Being a blacksmith isn't bad either."
Tang San answered obediently.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng stared at the status panel before him, unable to make up his mind.
He had used the Identity Card earlier and become Tang San's older brother. Now he still had one Mutation Card left. What would happen if he used it?
Qin Feng asked the system, but the system was too aloof to respond to him at all!
Moreover, it seemed to only appear when issuing quests.
In the end, Qin Feng decided to give it a try!
He had always been the sort of person with a strong curiosity. If he had something in his hands and didn't use it up, he felt uncomfortable.
He silently chose to use it!
In an instant, a beam of light began sliding across his status panel like a lottery wheel.
Host: Qin Feng Gender: Male Age: 6 First Martial Soul: Hammer Second Martial Soul: None Soul Power: 18200/20000
After the beam of light passed over several times, it slowed down more and more. It seemed as though it was about to stop on the gender field, and Qin Feng nearly suffocated!!
A terrifying thought arose in his mind. As its name implied, a Mutation Card should cause an existing attribute to mutate.
He was currently male. If his gender mutated, wouldn't that make him female??
Wow! That would be absolutely inhuman!!
Qin Feng pressed his hands together and prayed to every god, Buddha, and Jade Emperor he could think of. Please, please don't stop on the gender field!!
Ding!
A crisp sound entered his ears, and Qin Feng slowly opened his eyes.
He was truly afraid!
This Mutation Card was far too thrilling!
"Hah..."
Qin Feng let out a long breath. That had been dangerously exciting!
At that moment, the beam of light on the status panel had stopped at First Martial Soul, and a notification for successful mutation appeared.
"Two-Form Heavenly Gang Hammer?"
Qin Feng summoned his Martial Soul and found that, aside from the hammer he had previously used for hammering nails changing into the kind of hammer used for forging, there did not seem to be much difference.
On the other side, Tang Hao looked at Tang San with an indifferent expression.
"If you want to become a blacksmith and learn forging from me, then first use that hammer to forge it ten thousand times. Only then will you be qualified."
That piece of iron was ordinary iron, filled with impurities.
"Of course, you can change your mind."
After saying that, Tang Hao yawned, looking utterly sleepy!
"Dad, I'm willing to try!"
Tang San walked over to the huge iron hammer and raised it with all his strength!
Qin Feng also stepped forward. He knew that Tang San was drawing upon the power of the Mysterious Heaven Skill!
He also knew that Tang San was a transmigrator, and that he was learning forging in order to make hidden weapons more effectively!
"Oh? Born with divine strength?"
Tang Hao turned over. Though his eyes were closed, his face was full of surprise.
That hammer weighed nearly a hundred jin and was even taller than Tang San. A six-year-old child should never have been able to lift it!
A while later, Tang San had struck it exactly five hundred times and was beginning to tire.
"Feng Ge, why don't you come try it?"
Tang San asked Qin Feng, who was standing nearby.
"Then I'll try too!"
Qin Feng was about the same height as Tang San. With both hands gripping it, he could just barely wrap them around the hammer's handle.
"Ah!!"
Qin Feng shouted and then lifted it with all his strength!!
He did not have the Mysterious Heaven Skill. In his previous life, he had merely been a weak designer slave, tortured by computers every day. Not only was he nearsighted, he couldn't even do two damn pull-ups!!
He was only trying this out of curiosity!
"Huh? Why is it so light??"
Qin Feng discovered that he could lift it easily too!
"Are... kids these days all born with such divine strength???"
Tang Hao opened his eyes and muttered to himself, his heart filled with shock!
"Feng Ge is amazing!!"
Even Tang San said in surprise.
At that moment, the way Tang San looked at Qin Feng was nothing like how a five- or six-year-old child looked at another person.
He knew that he had only barely managed it by using the Mysterious Heaven Skill, but Qin Feng seemed to have lifted the iron hammer through his own strength alone!
Judging from the rhythm of Qin Feng's forging, he even seemed steadier than Tang San himself!!
"I leveled up?!"
+100 +1000 ...
At that moment, he had already advanced to a Level 3 Spirit Scholar!
Qin Feng panted heavily as he looked at the rows of data on his status panel, then increased his speed by several degrees!!
He had never expected that the faster breathing caused by blacksmithing would become a shortcut to leveling up. Though he was drenched in sweat, Qin Feng continued swinging the iron hammer without pause!!
"Level 4 Spirit Scholar!"
"Level 5 Spirit Scholar!"
"Level 7 Spirit Scholar!!"
Qin Feng's rocket-like leveling left the Tang father and son dumbfounded!!
Tang San stood there with his mouth hanging open, his jaw nearly dropping to the ground!!
Tang San had hammered five hundred times with everything he had, yet Qin Feng had directly hammered twenty thousand times!!
The chunk of raw iron, originally as large as a brick, had been forcibly hammered down until it was only the size of a thumb!
Just what kind of freak had Dad brought home!!
Tang Hao was asking himself the same question. Just what kind of immortal had he picked up?!
Leveling up through blacksmithing??
Had anyone ever seen something so bizarre?
Gaining one level might perhaps be explained by his Soul Power already being full, with the blacksmithing stimulating it and allowing him to break through the bottleneck into the next level. That was at least possible!
But advancing from a Level 2 Spirit Scholar to a Level 7 Spirit Scholar—what the hell was that??
Tang Hao had once roamed Douluo Continent and was considered highly knowledgeable, yet he had truly never heard of such a thing!!
"Hah!"
Qin Feng set down the hammer. The fresh set of clothes he had just changed into was completely soaked through with sweat!
"Feng Ge, you're way too strong!!"
Tang San gave Qin Feng a thumbs-up, and there was even a trace of admiration in his eyes!
"Not at all. I'm still far behind your Innate Full Soul Power, Xiao San."
Qin Feng scratched the back of his head and grinned foolishly.
Qin Feng saw the admiration flash deep within Tang San's eyes. He also knew that Tang San was mentally already in his thirties. Admiration coming from someone in his thirties was genuine respect!
"Innate Full Soul Power?!"
Upon hearing those words, Tang Hao climbed out of bed.
