Heaven and Earth Forging Method

After hearing the man's question and sensing the Assessor's obvious reverence toward the middle-aged man beside him, Su Hao had his answer. If nothing unexpected happened, the middle-aged man before him was Mu Chen, President of the Blacksmith Association. He slowly said:

"Thank you for the compliment. May I ask how I should address you, master?

And please feel free to ask whatever you wish to know. There is no need to worry about being offensive."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Mu Chen laughed heartily.

"Ha ha, it seems our little forging genius is quite humble. Still, being humble is a good thing.

As for my name, you should have heard it before. I am Mu Chen, President of the East Sea Blacksmith Association. You may call me President Mu from now on. What should I call you, little genius?"

When Mu Chen asked for his name, Su Hao told him.

After learning Su Hao's name, Mu Chen asked where he had studied under a master and what that state he had entered during forging had been.

After saying that his blacksmith master was a Level 7 Blacksmith, Su Hao considered his response. Then he said:

"President Mu, I call the state I entered during forging just now the Heaven and Earth Forging Style.

I accidentally created this state while forging.

It can greatly reduce my consumption while forging, while also greatly increasing the chance of success.

However, I have not fully perfected it yet. At present, I can only achieve this much."

Hearing that, Mu Chen continued asking:

"Then, Little Hao, I know my next question may be very presumptuous.

But I still want to ask: how difficult is it to learn your forging method?"

Upon hearing Mu Chen's words, Su Hao realized that Mu Chen wanted to learn his state. However, entering that state required the blessing of heaven and earth. The only people who met that requirement were himself and Tang Wulin. Su Hao possessed the Heart of the Heavenly Dao and could enter that state anytime, anywhere, while Tang Wulin had Tang Hao behind him and could likewise enter that state whenever he wished. For others, however, it would not be so easy.

Thus, Su Hao told him the truth.

"President Mu, only two people have learned my forging method so far. One is me, and the other will arrive in Eastsea City soon. You will meet him then. Learning this state is extremely difficult.

Even my teacher has not learned it."

Hearing this, Mu Chen understood the meaning behind Su Hao's words. He laughed and said:

"Ha ha, Little Hao, I do not want to learn your forging method.

I want to ask whether you would like to take me as your master. How about I teach you the forging methods that come next?"

Hearing Mu Chen's words, Su Hao politely declined.

"President Mu, I already have a teacher. Please forgive me, but I cannot take you as my master."

Upon hearing Su Hao refuse his invitation, Mu Chen did not rush. He planned to meet the person Su Hao had mentioned who had learned the Heaven and Earth Forging Style, then decide what to do. So he said:

"Very well. Since you have already made your decision, then congratulations. This is your Level 4 Medal."

Mu Chen then took a Level 4 Blacksmith Medal from his pocket and handed it to Su Hao. After offering him a few more words of encouragement, he found an excuse and left.

After leaving the Blacksmith Association and getting into the car, Su Hao began reviewing the state of his Second Profession. He thought to himself:

All my Second Profession assessments are complete now. As for Battle Armor, I have reached Level 4 in every category.

Mecha is a bit slower. I have only reached Level 3 in all of it, but that is enough for now.

After all, Battle Armor sees more use in combat. Mecha is generally only used in large-scale military operations or for maintaining cities.

I can take the assessments gradually in the future. There is no need to learn too much; eventually, learning enough to make a transforming mecha will be sufficient.

Now I can go pick up Tang Wulin, then it will be time to register at East Sea Junior Academy.

Then, Su Hao told the driver to head for the station in Eastsea City.

Before long, Su Hao arrived at the Eastsea City station. After waiting for only a short while, a dark-blue Soul Guide Train slowly pulled into the station, gradually decelerated, and came to a stop. Then its doors opened. Countless people streamed off the train, most carrying large amounts of luggage. In an instant, the entire station became bustling as the crowded flow of people moved toward the exit.

At that moment, Su Hao noticed a familiar figure being squeezed out of the train by the crowd. Immediately afterward, he called out to the person getting off behind him:

"Wulin! Tang Wulin, over here!"

Having been pushed off the train by the crowd, Tang Wulin heard someone call his name. He looked toward the source of the voice and saw Su Hao waving at him.

Seeing someone familiar, Tang Wulin squeezed his way toward Su Hao.

A moment later, Tang Wulin reached Su Hao's side. Then he followed Su Hao into the car.

Once Tang Wulin was in the car, Su Hao told the driver to take them to the registration site for Eastsea Academy, then began chatting with Tang Wulin.

On the way to Eastsea Academy, Tang Wulin learned from Su Hao that he had passed the Level 4 Blacksmith assessment, as well as what had happened during the assessment.

Su Hao told Tang Wulin that if he wanted to take Mu Chen as his master, he should do so. He also told Tang Wulin that he could teach the Heaven and Earth Forging Style Su Hao had taught him to Mu Chen if he wished. After all, the more people who learned it, the better.

Tang Wulin was deeply moved by Su Hao's trust in him.

Before long, Su Hao and Tang Wulin arrived at the registration site for East Sea Junior Academy. The two got out of the Soul Tool Car one after the other. Su Hao told the driver to drive back on his own, as he was no longer needed here, then went with Tang Wulin to register.

At the registration site, they saw a white sign with blue lettering erected there. It bore four large words: Eastsea Academy.

Below the sign were tables and chairs. Behind them sat several young men and women around seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in blue tracksuits.

Seeing Su Hao and Tang Wulin approach, a black-haired maiden smiled at them. "Little brothers, are you here to register?"

Hearing the black-haired maiden's question, Su Hao and Tang Wulin spoke at the same time:

"Hello, senior sister. I'm Su Hao (Tang Wulin), and I'm here to register."

Hearing their words, the black-haired maiden smiled and handed each of them a form. At the same time, she said:

"Hello. I'm Liu Yuxin from Grade One of Eastsea Academy's Advanced Academy, and I'm responsible for receiving new students this time. I'm your senior sister. Come on, fill out the form first, then show me your recommendation letters from your Junior Academy."

After taking the forms, Su Hao and Tang Wulin quickly filled them out, then handed them to Liu Yuxin.

After receiving the forms and checking both Su Hao's and Tang Wulin's recommendation letters, Liu Yuxin gave each of them a metal tag. She pointed to a building and told them to register inside before going off to attend to the others.
