Spirit-Forging Creation, Spirit Sheath [Silver Paper]

"Good! A man should take action to prove himself and show those who doubt him that they are wrong."

Mu Chen laughed heartily and raised his hand, preparing to pat Tang Heng on the shoulder.

Tang Heng reacted faster, stepping forward to let Mu Chen's large hand land on empty air.

President Mu, please don't do that; my sister will misunderstand.

Silently grumbling in his heart, he followed a staff member into a forging room.

Mu Xi followed as well; she wanted to see exactly what kind of person this "genius" her father praised in her ears all day really was!

Mu Chen and Tang Wulin followed closely behind; the former wanted to see Tang Heng's true talent, while the latter was simply prepared to watch his brother slap the face of that insolent woman.

"Sister Mu Xi."

Walking behind, Tang Wulin suddenly spoke up. Mu Xi didn't even turn her head, saying indifferently:

"What is it?"

"I want to make a bet with you. My brother will reach at least a Level 4 Blacksmith rating in this evaluation."

Mu Xi raised an eyebrow, her face full of disbelief.

She practiced forging diligently every day and had her father's guidance. Although she didn't personally agree with the "genius blacksmith" label those around her bestowed upon her, she was still outstanding compared to her peers.

Even so, Mu Xi had only just begun preparing to challenge the Level 2 Blacksmith assessment.

Yet Tang Wulin just said his brother could reach the level of a Level 4 Blacksmith in this evaluation?

If that wasn't a fantasy, what was?

"I bet he can't. So, what's the stake?"

Tang Wulin revealed a strange smile, like a fisherman seeing a fish take the bait:

"Sister Mu Xi, you must be quite wealthy, right? How about we bet 50,000 Federation Coin?"

"Fine."

Mu Xi agreed casually and then walked quickly toward the front.

Seeing her agree so readily, Tang Wulin couldn't help but feel secretly delighted; his private little treasury was about to receive another influx of income.

He and his brother had spent over a year in the forging room, and Tang Wulin clearly understood just how formidable his brother truly was.

Therefore, he had absolute confidence.

And so, in just this short moment, Tang Heng didn't realize he had been "sold out" by his good brother once again.

Outside the glass curtain wall of the forging room, the evaluator responsible for recording the test seemed more nervous than usual.

He had originally thought there wouldn't be much work today and that he could get off work happily when the time came.

As it turned out, a seven-year-old child suddenly arrived for a blacksmith level evaluation, and it was someone brought by the President himself—the President was even watching the test right beside him.

With the boss supervising, the pressure was off the charts!

The evaluator dared not slack off and called out to Tang Heng, who was in the forging room: "Little Tang Heng, we are now beginning your first test."

"Metal purification. You need to choose one from these thirty-plus types of rare metals to forge and purify. You have a fifteen-minute time limit. Please begin."

Tang Heng's gaze swept over the various metals placed on the table, and finally, under the observation of Mu Chen and the others, he selected a grey, dusty piece of metal, roughly a foot square.

When the evaluator saw this metal, he was slightly stunned.

"Why is it Star Meteor Iron? Did the staff make a mistake?"

Star Meteor Iron came from beyond the heavens; it was rare, and because it had been tempered by the atmosphere, the raw ore usually contained piercing properties.

Due to its immense density, it ranked among the top of the rare metal spectrum, and its forging difficulty was very high. Generally speaking, only Level 5 Grandmaster Blacksmiths would choose such a material.

Mu Chen smiled and said: "No problem. I instructed them to put this Star Meteor Iron in. I just want to see where this child's limits are, so it will be easier to guide him in the future."

Hearing Mu Chen say this, the evaluator also became curious and said: "This child is only seven. If he completes the level evaluation, he will definitely rewrite the President's records."

While everyone was talking, Tang Heng had already begun to act.

The foot-square Star Meteor Iron weighed at least eight hundred jin, yet in his hands, it felt as light as a feather.

The evaluator suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but speak up: "President Mu, did you forget that the temperature of the forging table in the primary evaluation room isn't high enough? If you use this forging table, it will take at least thirty minutes to heat the Star Meteor Iron to a forgeable state."

Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, an awkward yet polite smile gradually appearing on his face.

Mu Xi, standing to the side, was also speechless, feeling disappointed in her father.

"Tang Heng, choose another piece..."

Before she could finish, a cluster of orange-red flames suddenly erupted from Tang Heng's palm, completely enveloping the Star Meteor Iron.

Basic elemental control; there was no need to switch to the Silver Dragon King Martial Soul at all.

He hadn't delayed his cultivation over this past year. Utilizing the time difference between the two worlds, he had long since mastered the basic characteristics of the Twin Dragon King Martial Soul.

Coupled with the Dragon God power vortex in his dantian, the current Tang Heng could use the abilities of both the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings simultaneously.

Switching Martial Souls merely shifts the focus of his power.

Enveloped by the fireball, the Star Meteor Iron began to heat up rapidly, soon reaching the state required for forging.

"This kid has hidden his depth well; he actually possesses Twin Martial Souls!"

Mu Chen exclaimed, his joy practically overflowing.

Among those present, Mu Chen possessed the highest cultivation, and he quickly discerned the origin of this flame.

The Golden Dragon Martial Soul did not possess the ability to control fire elements; a moment of reflection made it clear that Tang Heng must have a second Martial Soul, and its quality would certainly not be inferior to the Golden Dragon.

This was truly an unexpected delight.

Mu Chen's opinion of Tang Heng grew increasingly favorable, and the urge to take him as a disciple began to stir.

Inside the forging room, Tang Heng officially began.

Tang Heng took out the Thousand-Refinement Sinking Silver Hammer he had casually acquired from Mang Tian's place, took a deep breath, raised the silver hammer high above his head, and brought it down.

"Clang!"

Under the strike of the silver hammer, the glowing red Star Meteor Iron emitted a crisp, lingering vibration, and the entire piece of metal suddenly shrank by more than a third.

More importantly, a three-foot-long spiritual radiance bloomed from the Star Meteor Iron.

Mu Xi's beautiful eyes widened, filled with disbelief:

"Spiritual radiance manifesting externally—a First-Grade Thousand-Refinement! Ho-how is this possible? He is only seven years old."

Tang Wulin wore an expression of absolute certainty; it seemed he had won this bet once again.

Hearing the exclamations of Mu Xi and the others, Tang Wulin, who had long been tempered by Tang Heng to remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, couldn't help but think to himself:

What does being seven years old matter? My brother is a man who has mastered an entire world!

"It really is a Thousand-Refinement in a single strike, but how did he manage it?"

Mu Chen was also full of disbelief; although he had heard it mentioned in Mang Tian's report, he had inwardly felt that it must have been an exaggeration.

Even a Master-level blacksmith could never achieve this!

Only a Saint Craftsman might be capable of it, but this was Star Meteor Iron!

Among many metals, Star Meteor Iron was one of the more difficult types to forge.

The assessment had already lost its meaning; a First-Grade Thousand-Refinement was enough to prove everything.

Yet Tang Heng did not stop; he took out an item along with several other materials Mu Chen had never seen before.

Tang Heng continued to hammer the Star Meteor Iron, incorporating the purple-red Trapezohedrons along with it.

The melodious sound of hammering echoed throughout the forging room, and for a moment, everyone present was deeply immersed in it, as if a brand-new life were being conceived.

Mu Chen was the first to react, no longer able to suppress the expression on his face, and exclaimed: "Spirit-Forging Creation! Hahaha, this kid is actually performing Spirit-Forging?"

The word "genius" was no longer enough to describe Tang Heng; he was like the protagonist from the recently trending book Great Love Immortal Venerable, having grasped the laws of life at such a young age!

Why was he able to do this?

Only Tang Heng could explain it; only someone who had been to the MC plane could understand.

The MC plane belonged to him, and every day and night, he contemplated this plane; the birth and demise of all things were merely a string of code, a segment of programming within the game.

But once it became reality, it transformed into a certain law.

What he was doing was examining and observing the development of the MC plane from the perspective of the Douluo plane.

By integrating these insights and realizations, he could grasp the true essence of the origin of all things—the Power of Creation.

A step into heaven! Ten-Thousand-Refinement gives birth to life.

Every light strike maintained the spirituality of the Thousand-Refinement Star Meteor Iron, injecting soul power to guide it toward developing its own life.

It fused with the sheath of the Silver Paper Bamboo Light, unifying all materials into one.

Accompanied by a surge of silver light shooting into the sky, a rich force of life bloomed in that moment.

A brand-new blade appeared prominently upon the forging table.

[Spirit Sheath] Paper Bamboo Light makes its grand debut!
