Thousand Forging Second Grade

Eastsea City!

The second-largest city on the East Sea Coast of the Sun Moon Federation on Douluo Continent, it was not only an extremely important port but also a key city for ocean transportation and marine resource development.

The city had a resident population of over three million. It was very prosperous thanks to its use of marine resources, and even within the entire Sun Moon Federation, it counted as a major first- or second-tier city.

At the same time, Eastsea City had a long history, and its appearance retained an ancient, rustic style. Thanks to the Sun Moon Federation's protection of certain ancient buildings over the past several centuries, visitors could still see many old structures with histories spanning more than a thousand years in this ancient city.

That day, a Black Soul Tool Car drove from outside Eastsea City into the city, eventually arriving before a magnificent building.

The building stood over three hundred meters tall, towering majestically above the surrounding structures. Transparent glass was set into its exterior, reflecting the dazzling sunlight.

Several bold, sweeping characters were written on the building wall at the front—East Sea Mech Designer Association.

Looking at the building before him, Su Hao walked straight inside.

Upon reaching the Front Desk inside the building, Su Hao approached the Staff member and said,

"Hello, I'd like to register for the Level 3 Mech Designer Assessment."

After the Staff confirmed it three times, he registered Su Hao for the Level 3 Assessment and told him to wait nearby. The Assessment Teacher would arrive shortly, after which he went back to attending to other people.

Su Hao waited to one side. After roughly ten minutes, he heard the machine call his name and instruct him to go to a room for the assessment.

Upon hearing his name, Su Hao followed the direction indicated by the machine and arrived at the room.

When the Invigilator in the room saw Su Hao enter, he assumed Su Hao was a child accompanying an assessment candidate. Only after Su Hao explained himself repeatedly did the assessment begin.

Next, the Invigilator randomly drew several requirements from an instrument and told Su Hao,

"Kid, your goal in the Promotion to Level 3 Assessment is to turn these requirements into a blueprint in the shortest possible time, then submit it for our inspection.

"If it meets these requirements, you can advance to become a Level 4 Designer.

"But if you fail to draw the blueprint within 3 Hours, you will fail the assessment. If you fail, you cannot take another assessment Within a Year."

After hearing the Invigilator's Rules, Su Hao stepped forward to examine the requirements.

After reading through them, Su Hao ran through them once in his mind before immediately beginning the design.

When the Invigilator saw Su Hao start drawing so quickly, he was about to step forward and say something. Then he seemed to remember something and closed his mouth, watching Su Hao draw the blueprint.

With his Heaven-Defying Comprehension and the teachings of those teachers and books, Su Hao quickly completed the Level 3 Mecha Design Blueprint and handed it to the Invigilator beside him.

After receiving it, the Invigilator checked the time and found that only half the allotted time had passed. He assumed Su Hao had given up and casually glanced at the blueprint, only to discover that Su Hao had already completed the design. He then carefully examined it from beginning to end.

He found that every aspect of Su Hao's blueprint perfectly met the earlier requirements. He then gave Su Hao a certificate and told him to hand it to a Staff member at the front.

Su Hao took the certificate and went to find the Staff member. When the Staff member saw it, he thought it was fake. After confirming it three times, he discovered it was genuine, apologized to Su Hao, and handed him the Level 3 Certification Medal with both hands.

After leaving the Designer's Building, Su Hao got back in the car and headed to the Other Profession Buildings for more assessments.

After going through a series of assessments, Su Hao had finally completed most of the Second Profession assessments. Only the Blacksmith Assessment remained before he could advance.

It was already evening, so Su Hao decided to take the Blacksmith Assessment tomorrow. Coincidentally, tomorrow was also the day Tang Wulin would arrive in Eastsea City.

After completing the assessment tomorrow, he could go pick up Tang Wulin. Once that was done, they could enroll together at East Sea Junior Academy.

Early Next Morning, Su Hao took a car to the East Sea Blacksmith Association.

After the Staff at the Front Desk confirmed it repeatedly, Su Hao successfully registered for the Level 3 Blacksmith Assessment.

Following the directions the Staff had given him, Su Hao went to a Forging Room on the 3rd Floor and knocked on the door. After receiving a response from inside, he entered.

The Assessor was startled when he saw Su Hao enter. After confirming Su Hao's identity several times, he told Su Hao to choose any piece of metal from the Metal Rack before him and forge it. If he achieved Thousand Forging Second Grade, he would become a Level 4 Blacksmith.

After hearing the Assessor's words, Su Hao nodded and began selecting from the Metal Rack in front of him.

He chose the heaviest piece, Starfall Iron. Seeing Su Hao choose that metal, the Assessor was secretly shocked that he had picked such a Tough Bone, but he said nothing.

Su Hao easily carried the Starfall Iron to the Forging Table beside him, lit the fire to heat it, and once it glowed red-hot, took out a pair of Forging Hammers from the Ring of Mixed Drafts and began hammering away with a clang, clang, clang.

As soon as Su Hao began hammering, he continuously adjusted himself, entering a Special State.

Not long after Su Hao entered that state, a middle-aged man outside the door heard the sound of his forging and quietly pushed the door open to enter.

Hearing someone enter, the Assessor was about to say something. But when he saw who had entered, he was about to speak again when the man stopped him.

The man gestured for the Assessor not to make a sound, then silently stood to one side and watched Su Hao's forging process.

At that moment, the room held only the unceasing clang, clang, clang of Su Hao hammering the iron. There were no other sounds.

As Su Hao continued forging, the Starfall Iron was quickly completed. Before long, with the fall of Su Hao's final hammer, the Starfall Iron before him lit up with White Light.

The White Light rose a full Three Zhang High. Only after shining for A Cup of Tea Time did it slowly fade away.

The Starfall Iron's appearance had changed completely. Compared to before, rings of Irregular Textures had appeared across its surface. The textures seemed alive, and when viewed from different angles, their patterns looked entirely different.

Seeing the Thousand Forging Second Grade Starfall Iron, the Assessor and the man who had entered both opened their mouths in shock.

The man who had entered was the first to recover. He began applauding Su Hao and asked,

"Kid, I never expected you to achieve Thousand Forging Second Grade at such a young age. The younger generation is truly formidable!

"With your results, you're nearly qualified to become a Fifth Group Blacksmith.

"But I have a few questions. Would you be willing to answer them? If they offend you, you don't have to say anything."
