Mu Chen did not take the pressure from the Wang Family and Zhang Family to heart at all.
He was more concerned about Mu Han's state of mind.
After all, he had killed two people at such a young age, and in front of a crowd at that.
However, once he learned that Mu Han's spiritual power had broken through, he stopped worrying so much.
After all, a breakthrough in spiritual power requires a clear state of mind; it is as difficult as ascending to heaven for someone who has fallen into a demonic path to achieve such a breakthrough.
So, perhaps this time it was just an accidental killing?
If Mu Han knew Mu Chen's thoughts, he could only lament his good luck.
It was indeed an accidental killing when he took the lives of Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi.
But to say he was kind-hearted? Yuan'en Yehui had also been left without even a corpse remaining!
And that was something he had even asked Di Tian to help capture!
But why should one care about a clear state of mind when a mere paper character had died?
Mu Chen brought Mu Han back to the Blacksmith Association and taught him a method for cultivating spiritual power.
In the original work, Tang Wulin cultivated the Purple Demon Eye of the Tang Sect, so he did not need this technique.
But now, Mu Han had not joined the Tang Sect, yet his spiritual power had already reached the Spirit Sea Realm.
Thus, he passed this method to Mu Han: "Myriad Transformation Divine Weapon!"
It was actually quite simple; it just involved transforming spiritual power into a hammer to temper one's spiritual power.
It could also take the form of blades, spears, swords, and halberds, serving both as protection and as a weapon to attack others.
"However, this method requires a seed," Mu Chen suddenly said.
The seed was the core of this method, the initial "hammer" used to temper spiritual power.
The initial "hammer" required an external force to serve as the seed.
The grade of the energy used as the seed determined the starting point of the Myriad Transformation Divine Weapon.
This was another reason why Mu Chen had not taught this technique to Tang Wulin in the original work.
When Mu Chen cultivated this method, the seed he used came from his master, a seventh-rank Saint Craftsman.
But that had already been assimilated by Mu Chen.
The seed he intended to give to Mu Han, however, was one he had nurtured himself.
In the original work, this wisp of a seed was given to his daughter, Mu Xi.
Now, he decided to give it to Mu Han instead.
A "Hammer Seed" nurtured for so many years by a veteran eighth-rank Saint Craftsman was definitely of a high enough grade.
After all, the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua had never cultivated this method, and naturally, he had never nurtured a "Hammer Seed."
Mu Chen's "Hammer Seed" was absolutely the strongest one in existence today. Its grade was more than sufficient.
Soon, it transformed into a giant hammer carrying golden flames within Mu Han's sea of consciousness, resembling a small sun.
The giant hammer struck out of thin air, gradually hammering wisps of spiritual power into shape.
At the same time, under Mu Chen's protection, Mu Han completed his first Spirit Forging.
As long as one completed a single Spirit Forging, they were a fifth-rank blacksmith, also known as a Master Craftsman.
However, to be precise, it was not fifth-rank, but sixth-rank.
Because the requirement for the fifth rank was Spirit Forging, while the requirement for the sixth rank was Fusion Forging—that is, creating spirit-imbued alloys.
For others, this might be difficult.
But for Mu Han, Fusion Forging was even simpler than Hundred-Refining.
His martial soul was Gold-Water Mutual Containment, after all.
Although he could use Gold-Water Mutual Containment to complete Hundred-Refining, Thousand-Refining, and even Spirit Forging.
The greatest utility of this metal was actually in Fusion Forging.
Its greatest function was to act as a medium during the process of Fusion Forging.
It could allow the affinity between any metals to reach one hundred percent.
Therefore, for Mu Han, who possessed the Gold-Water Mutual Containment martial soul, Fusion Forging was something he could handle with ease.
Moreover, the spirit-imbued alloys he created always had a fusion rate as high as one hundred percent.
Never mind Mu Chen, this eighth-rank Saint Craftsman; even the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua could not compare to him.
Because, without considering special existences like Gold-Water Mutual Containment, the limit for the fusion rate of spirit-imbued alloys was ninety-nine percent.
But every piece of spirit-imbued alloy Mu Han created had a fusion rate of one hundred percent.
However, Mu Han was ultimately only fifth-rank.
For one thing, Mu Chen was quite strict with him.
Secondly, it was because he did not want him to become a target due to his prominence.
Thirdly, it was because his foundation was truly insufficient.
The requirement for level six was not merely to forge spirit alloys, but to complete the spirit forging of those spirit alloys.
Currently, Mu Han could only perform spirit forging on ordinary metals or forge thousand-refined spirit alloys.
Although thousand-refined spirit alloys could be processed a second time to become spirit-forged, Mu Chen required him to be able to complete a spirit-forged spirit alloy in one go before he could be considered a level six blacksmith.
On the other side, the Zero Class at Eastsea Academy had not been established.
It was not that the school administration disagreed, but that it simply could not be built.
Among those qualified to join the Zero Class in the original work, the ashes of Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi had already been scattered.
Wei Xiaofeng naturally refused to join the Zero Class, just as he did in the original work.
Tang Wulin wanted to join, but in this Class Promotion Tournament, he had only participated in one match and had achieved nothing.
As for Xie Xie, he remained in a coma to this day.
In the original work, Gu Yue only joined the Zero Class for the sake of Tang Wulin. Now, she would only join for the sake of Mu Han.
However, the Zero Class could not possibly invite Mu Han first.
Mu Han had just killed two opponents during the Class Promotion Tournament.
Although it had been classified as an accident, the school administration certainly had to make some sort of gesture.
If Mu Han did not join, Gu Yue would not join either.
With Wei Xiaofeng not joining and Xie Xie still in a coma, how could the Zero Class be established under these circumstances?
However, Mu Han did not care.
The most important aspects of the Zero Class were nothing more than the allocation of resources and the direction of study.
He did not care about the former; his father was an eight-ring Saint Craftsman!
As for the direction of study? Having read the original work, he was very clear that it was nothing more than Battle Armor.
To put it plainly, it was an amplifier, much like a mecha, providing comprehensive enhancement.
However, a mecha was worn by a person, while Battle Armor was worn by a Martial Soul.
But in essence, they were much the same.
Mu Han's foster father, Mu Chen, was an eight-ring Saint Craftsman who had already crafted quite a few Three-Word Battle Armor sets.
Rather than learning from Wu Zhangkong, it was better to learn from Mu Chen.
Besides that, Mu Chen often took Mu Han to various banquets in Eastsea City.
In a sense, this could be considered "introducing him to the family."
After all, in the past, the fact that Mu Han was Mu Chen's foster son was only known to their family of three and a few acquaintances.
But now, Mu Chen was effectively making this matter public.
Mu Han did not mind, but these banquets in Eastsea City were ultimately lacking.
Although Mu Chen was not an official, he held a pivotal position in Eastsea City.
The banquets he could attend were all of a relatively high standard.
But that was limited to Eastsea City.
Even though Eastsea City was one of the eighteen first-tier cities of the Federation and the second-largest city in the Tianhai Alliance, in reality, Shrek City, Ming Capital, and even the second-tier cities near Tiandou City were larger in scale than Eastsea City.
Suddenly, Mu Han sensed a strong attraction.
It was as if the two were a pair that complemented each other perfectly.
He was familiar with this feeling. Ultimately, it was a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
His Martial Soul and his spirit soul had already produced a very rare fusion skill.
His two spirit rings had also produced a rare fusion skill.
But the most common and powerful fusion skill was naturally the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
