"President, let me do it," Su Hao said calmly.
Zhen Hua had originally intended to have Tang Wulin take the stage, but upon hearing this, he agreed. According to his investigation, Su Hao's forging ability was no weaker than Tang Wulin's, and perhaps even stronger. He said, "All right. Since you're confident, Little Hao, you can do it."
Seeing Su Hao step forward, the surrounding blacksmiths all frowned, and murmurs rose around them. Tang Wulin had demonstrated his skills at the Blacksmith Association before, but although Su Hao had appeared there with Tang Wulin last time, no one had seen him forge anything. They could not gauge his ability. Then again, President Zhen Hua's judgment could not be that poor, could it? At the very least, Su Hao should be on the same level as Tang Wulin.
Unlike the other blacksmiths, Mu Ye directly asked Tang Wulin beside him, "Wulin, I can call you that, right? How does Little Hao's forging ability compare to yours?"
"Uncle Mu Ye, you're my elder, so of course you can call me that. As for Brother Hao, he's no weaker than me—he may even be stronger. He might have already reached Level 6, the level of a Forging Grandmaster," Tang Wulin said.
Mu Ye revealed a shocked expression upon hearing Tang Wulin's words. What shocked him was nothing else but Su Hao's current age and blacksmith rank.
Within the Blacksmith Association, a Forging Grandmaster was second only to a Saint Craftsman. Above that, there was only a single Divine Craftsman. If Su Hao had reached the level of a Forging Grandmaster, then he would be second only to the Saint Craftsman before him, Chang Gongyan. Moreover, even becoming a grandmaster was a height many people could only dream of reaching.
