Divine Craftsman, Zhen Hua!

Even though it was their first meeting, Lin Jin had almost instinctively reached that conclusion.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

At that moment, Lin Jin found that amid such a noisy environment, he could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

Before he knew it, he had already walked up to the man.

Mu Chen did not look pleased.

"Here. I brought him to you."

Then he glanced at Lin Jin and said:

"This is the senior uncle I told you about."

"He is a Divine Craftsman and also the president of the Blacksmith Association."

"Take this."

"I'm leaving."

Mu Chen stuffed a ring into Lin Jin's hand. Without even looking at Zhen Hua, he turned and left.

He merged into the crowd and entered the Soul Guidance Train station.

Throughout the entire process, he had not even given Lin Jin a chance to speak.

Lin Jin was stunned, frozen for a moment.

"That's just how he is."

"He's proud deep down, and he's stubborn too."

"Don't be fooled by how carefree he looked when he left. He was probably afraid that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to bear parting with you."

Zhen Hua patted Lin Jin on the shoulder, his tone somewhat complicated as well.

He knew very well just how satisfied Mu Chen had been with this disciple.

To a blacksmith, a direct disciple into whom he had invested so much was practically no different from his own son.

And now, Mu Chen had handed Lin Jin over to him.

Of course he was reluctant to part with him.

Lin Jin clenched the ring in his palm. After a moment of silence, he bowed to Zhen Hua.

"Senior Uncle."

"Haha, good child."

Zhen Hua patted Lin Jin on the head, then suddenly asked:

"Kid, have you ever experienced what it feels like to fly?"

"Huh?"

Lin Jin froze.

The next moment, he felt his body suddenly soar into the air.

The entirety of Heaven Dou City lay beneath his feet.

Zhen Hua, beside him, spoke again:

"Mu Chen told me that you want to become a Battle Armor Master?"

Lin Jin understood. Zhen Hua was showing him his "fist."

But he did not dislike it or refuse. He simply nodded slightly.

Zhen Hua smiled.

Pieces of armor emerged from within his body, wrapping around him.

A pair of enormous wings spread from his back.

The armor was entirely crimson, with red flame-like patterns flowing across it, as though it possessed life itself!

This was...

Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua's Four-Word Battle Armor!

Even though Lin Jin had already known all this.

Seeing it with his own eyes still deeply shook him and filled him with yearning.

"This is the pinnacle of a Battle Armor Master: Four-Word Battle Armor!"

Zhen Hua's voice carried a smile.

"Work hard. One day, you too will be able to wear such a suit of Four-Word Battle Armor—perhaps one even stronger!"

"I understand, Senior Uncle."

Lin Jin nodded, his eyes burning with passion.

After all, Spirit Masters were the foundation.

But at the same realm, possessing Battle Armor and not possessing it resulted in entirely different forms of combat power.

Take Zhen Hua before him. Although his Soul Power Level was only around level 95.

Once he equipped his Four-Word Battle Armor.

The power he could display was equivalent to that of a Limit Douluo who was not wearing Four-Word Battle Armor.

And at lower levels.

Even the most ordinary complete set of One-Word Battle Armor was equivalent to granting a Spirit Master a twenty-level increase in Soul Power.

Of course, that was merely a rough comparison and could not be equated completely.

For example, although an Eight-Ring Spirit Douluo with Two-Word Battle Armor could raise his combat power to the level of a Title Douluo.

That did not mean his Soul Power was equivalent to level 100.

Seeing the blazing heat in Lin Jin's eyes, Zhen Hua was very satisfied with the result.

He brought Lin Jin swiftly across the skies above Heaven Dou City before finally landing atop the Blacksmith Association building in Heaven Dou City.

Heaven Dou City was actually a no-fly zone.

Without special authorization, flying overhead was not permitted.

Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua was naturally among those with special authorization.

Naturally, no one stopped him, nor did anyone dare stop a Four-Word Battle Armor Master.

Testing Room.

Clang!

Lin Jin's right fist came down.

The numbers on the screen rapidly climbed before finally stopping at 2321.

Clang!

His left fist came down.

2011.

Gasp!

Zhen Hua sucked in a breath.

Through Spirit Guidance Communication, he had heard Lin Jin's physical data more than once.

But witnessing it in person was still shocking.

This was a boy under ten years old, a Two-Ring Great Spirit Master who possessed neither a Beast Martial Soul nor a Body Martial Soul!

The helmet descended.

Spiritual Power test.

749!

500 to 4999 was the Spirit Sea Realm.

749 meant that Lin Jin's Spiritual Power had not only reached the Spirit Sea Realm, but had also advanced a considerable distance within it.

Zhen Hua was even more astonished.

He could not help asking:

"Did your teacher find you any Spiritual Power cultivation method?"

Mu Chen had not told Zhen Hua much regarding Spiritual Power.

Nor had he used Zhen Hua's connections to seek out a Spiritual Power cultivation method.

Actually.

Obtaining a Spiritual Power cultivation method was simple.

At least, it was simple given Lin Jin's talent.

He could simply join the Tang Sect and obtain the Spiritual Power cultivation method known as Purple Demon Eye.

But Lin Jin clearly had not done so.

Facing the question, Lin Jin replied:

"Yes."

"During my first month under Teacher, while I was still conditioning my body, Teacher had already found a Spiritual Power cultivation method for me."

"It is called: Silk-Reeling Cocoon-Spinning."

Silk-Reeling Cocoon-Spinning.

As its name suggested, it condensed Spiritual Power into threads, using them to "exercise" Spiritual Power while also improving one's control over it.

This Spiritual Power cultivation method was not particularly profound.

It was even rather clumsy.

But it was highly useful for laying foundations in the early stages, especially for Spirit Masters learning blacksmithing.

Because Blacksmiths inherently had extremely high requirements for control.

This Spiritual Power cultivation method had originally been intended for Lin Jin's junior brother, Tang Wulin.

But by the time Tang Wulin became a disciple, Class Zero had already been established, and Wu Zhangkong was already guiding him toward the Tang Sect.

Compared to it, Purple Demon Eye was indeed the better choice.

At that moment.

What Lin Jin had not expected was that when Zhen Hua heard this answer, a strange look appeared in his eyes.

"Silk-Reeling Cocoon-Spinning is a very good Spiritual Power cultivation method."

"There is an advanced method beyond it called Divine Garment."

"Divine Garment is no worse than the Tang Sect's Purple Demon Eye."

"It's just that Purple Demon Eye combines Spiritual Power attacks, while Divine Garment leans toward Spiritual Power defense."

"I'll find it for you another day."

Lin Jin was startled when he heard that, then hurriedly thanked him.

"Thank you, Senior Uncle."

Zhen Hua smiled faintly.

"No need to be so polite."

"As long as you do not waste your talent for blacksmithing, these things are nothing to me."

After that, Zhen Hua brought Lin Jin to the Forging Room.

After personally witnessing Lin Jin interweave his Soul Power and Bloodline Power to complete Spirit Forging.

The joy in Zhen Hua's eyes was nearly impossible to conceal.

Seeing the exhausted Lin Jin, Zhen Hua brought him to his private small cafeteria.

After taking a seat, Zhen Hua said with a smile:

"To be honest, I really want to immediately pour everything I know into your head."

"But right now, your Soul Power is simply too low."

"So, I think I should introduce someone to you first!"

As he spoke.

With a bang, the door opened.

A burly man in a chef's hat pushed a dining cart inside.
