Background / History

Zhen Hua is the President of the Blacksmith Guild, overseeing continent-wide blacksmith rank assessments and resource allocation. Mu Ye describes him as the continent's only Divine Craftsman and the foremost figure in the forging world; those seeking Four-Word Battle Armor must rely on his work. 28

He is a close friend of Mu Ye, who refers to him as his “personal chef.” Their longstanding familiarity allows them to tease each other freely despite Zhen Hua's position and authority. 25 28

After Mu Ye brings Lin Qingzhou to the Blacksmith Guild headquarters, Zhen Hua tests the boy's forging foundation with Magic Silver and a Thousand-Refined Tungsten Steel Hammer. Lin completes Hundred Refinement entirely through physical strength, impressing Zhen Hua enough to accept him as a forging disciple. 28 29

Appearance

Zhen Hua appears to be in his forties, with regular features and an authoritative bearing shaped by his long tenure in power. He typically wears a dark blue robe with subtle patterns. 28

• Gentle eyes that contrast with his imposing position. 28
• Carries a restrained, observant demeanor when assessing others. 29
• Shifts from a relaxed manner around Mu Ye to a more formal “President Mode” while handling Guild affairs. 28

Personality

Zhen Hua is gentle and playful with trusted friends, especially Mu Ye, but he is also exacting and serious in professional matters. He does not lavish Lin Qingzhou with empty praise; instead, he watches the entire forging test in silence before delivering his assessment. 28 29

He is cautious about Lin's safety and future. He warns Lin not to reveal the unusual aura of his Martial Soul or his late awakening, recognizing that such information could make him a target. 31 32

Story Role / Major Arcs

Lin Qingzhou's Apprenticeship

Zhen Hua meets Lin when Mu Ye brings the young Body Martial Soul user to the Blacksmith Guild. He agrees to test Lin rather than immediately accepting Mu Ye's claims about his talent. 28

In the Guild forging room, he observes Lin forge Magic Silver into a Hundred-Refined component over nearly two hours. Lin's reliance on raw strength rather than soul power convinces Zhen Hua to accept him as a disciple. 29

Soul Spirit Selection

Zhen Hua accompanies Lin and Mu Ye to the Heaven Fight City Spirit Pagoda after confirming that Lin needs a Soul Spirit before his soul power can advance. He participates in testing Lin's physical and mental foundation and expresses concern when Lin chooses to fuse with the unyielding Destruction Lion Mastiff. 30 31

After Lin succeeds, Zhen Hua warns him that the Martial Soul aura revealed during the fusion could attract unwanted attention. 32

Forging Training

Following the apprenticeship, Zhen Hua conducts Lin's morning lessons while Mu Ye handles afternoon cultivation and combat instruction. When Mu Ye leaves Heaven Fight City, Zhen Hua takes responsibility for Lin's full schedule, though Guild obligations occasionally interrupt the lessons. 34

Trivia

• Mu Ye calls Zhen Hua an “old brat” despite Zhen Hua's status as the Blacksmith Guild President. 28
• Zhen Hua initially agrees to mentor Lin partly because of Mu Ye's request, but Lin's exceptional physical, mental, and forging foundations make his interest genuine. 30
