A Divine Blacksmith's Influence

The moment Zhen Hua announced this major news, someone couldn't help but say:

"President, this is the foundation you've built up over your entire life. You're making a huge mistake by doing this."

Inheritance is the foundation of one's character.

If Zhen Hua were to reveal all of his inheritance, Zhen Hua would be equivalent to all Blacksmith receiving his legacy. This would naturally be beneficial for them, but not for Blacksmith.

He was Divine Craftsman at the pinnacle of Blacksmith; the skills others possessed were meaningless to him, and he could easily acquire them from others if he wanted. Such a change would not benefit Zhen Hua himself.

Of course, since the one who announced this was the only Divine Craftsman in the world, everyone understood that they could definitely obtain a lifelong legacy from him, which is why they thought this way. If an ordinary Blacksmith had said this, he would have been criticized to death by everyone.

Looking at the worried Blacksmith below, Zhen Hua smiled slightly, "You don't think I've been taken advantage of, do you? Well, let me tell you, I haven't. The reason I'm announcing this today is because someone has shown me enough sincerity and exposed the shortcomings of our Blacksmith Association."

At this point, Zhen Hua gestured to Huo Yuhao with his eyes.

The Blacksmith below also turned their gaze to Huo Yuhao, having already noticed Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena, and Xiong Jun who were with Zhen Hua.

Huo Yuhao stepped forward, not saying anything immediately, but instead taking out dozens of Sentient Alloy and introducing them one by one, "This is an alloy made of Heavy Silver, Gold Essence, and Starfall Iron, and this is..."

Chang Gongyan and Lin Yuhan both somewhat surprised.

Does this young man, renowned throughout the Douluo Continent, also possess remarkable skills in forging? Or was it given to him by the Spirit Pagoda?

The eyes of many Blacksmith followed Huo Yuhao's movements, and some of them gradually revealed expressions of disbelief. "How is this possible? Wasn't it proven impossible to create an alloy using Heavy Silver, Gold Essence, and Starfall Iron?"

Upon hearing this, one of the Saint Craftsman exclaimed in surprise, "What do you mean it's impossible? I figured it out a long time ago. There must be something wrong with the proportions you mixed!"

"The Heavenly Nether Crystal can actually be further Fusion Forging with Star Silver?"

"There are techniques involved; special forging techniques can be used to complete the Fusion Forging, and I have recently figured it out."

As Huo Yuhao introduced the project, the quiet hall suddenly became noisy. Many people discovered that the alloys they hadn't been able to research were already completed projects for others.

Of course, many of the alloys that Huo Yuhao brought out were ones that even Blacksmith had never seen before.

By now, many people understand what Zhen Hua meant by the defects he mentioned earlier.

"I'm sure you all understand what I'm trying to say. All of us Blacksmith combined possess a great deal of Fusion Forging techniques and skills, but we keep them to ourselves and rarely pass them on to outsiders, except for our disciples."

Zhen Hua paused for a moment, then said, "This is a very normal thing, I can understand. But think about it carefully, the Fusion Forging formula that you have spent countless hours researching but failed to develop has actually been completed by others long ago, and the forging techniques that others have painstakingly studied may be exactly what you have already mastered."

"Over Ten Thousand Years years, how many Blacksmith have had their skills languished and failed to be passed down because they couldn't find suitable apprentices? How many Fusion Forging formulas have long been completed but forgotten in some corner? Clearly, the exchange of techniques is essential."

"We need a platform for communication, Blacksmith Association should have played this role, but we've been turning a blind eye, only letting the association act as an intermediary, issuing forging tasks... I want to change all of that today."

"If everyone is willing to share their research findings and exchange ideas, the entire forging industry will experience a qualitative leap. We will no longer have to repeat the mistakes others have made, but can stand on the shoulders of giants and explore deeper forging techniques!"

Among the crowd, an elderly Saint Craftsman couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed... I spent ten years researching the Fusion Forging method of ' Heavenly Star Steel,' but I was always missing the final step. I never imagined that Brother Lin had already succeeded five years ago, and I was completely unaware..."

Another Blacksmith chuckled wryly, "I experimented thousands of times with the quenching technique for ' Cold Heart Iron,' only to have Senior Brother Wang's disciple casually reveal the key..."

However, while some agree, others hesitate and have concerns.

After all, if you were to make your painstakingly developed, unique skills public for free, wouldn't you lose your competitive edge?

Someone couldn't help but say, "No, Guild Master, free technology sharing is unfair to both you and the Blacksmith who want the technology. Besides, there are so many technologies, and a single Blacksmith can only master a limited number. Rather than sharing them directly, it would be better to..."

The Blacksmith was halfway through his sentence when he saw Zhen Hua smiling at him and immediately realized he had misunderstood.

The president is in charge of the entire Blacksmith Association; how could he not have thought of this?

Was the initial statement intended to gain the upper hand?

Zhen Hua smiled and said, "It seems that everyone disagrees with sharing for free, but you all have a positive attitude towards the proposal itself, right?"

The group exchanged glances, but no one objected.

Just kidding, the Divine Craftsman is going to teach you forging, don't you want to?

Seeing this, Zhen Hua smiled slightly, clapped his hands lightly, and a projection immediately appeared behind him. "Don't worry about the system. I've decided to establish a 'Technology Sharing Library' within the Blacksmith Association. All members can upload their research results and earn corresponding points based on their contributions, which can then be exchanged for other people's technology or resources."

"Sharing is not free. Each technology requires corresponding points to redeem, and these points can only be earned by contributing your own technology or completing tasks posted by the association. I have uploaded all the technology I possess as a foundation."

"The art of forging should inherently draw upon the strengths of many. Working in isolation will only lead us further down a narrow path. The reason I've gathered you all here today is to encourage us to join hands and work together to propel the Blacksmith Association, and indeed the entire Soul Tool industry, to new heights!"

His words were powerful and resonant, carrying an unquestionable authority yet full of inspiration.

Gradually, the Blacksmith ' eyes shifted from hesitation to determination.

The Divine Craftsman have already incorporated their skills into it, so what are they hesitating for? Do they possess skills as advanced as Zhen Hua's?

"I agree!" A Saint Craftsman was the first to step forward.

"I'll join too!"

Count me in!

Seeing everyone respond and watching the various technologies being entered, even though it had nothing to do with her, Lin Yuhan couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Teacher, could we...?"

"Impossible."

Compared to Lin Yuhan, Chang Gongyan's eyes were full of worry. "We don't have Divine Craftsman, not a single Blacksmith who can command the entire blacksmithing world. What the Douluo Federation can do, we can't!"

And this... represents a gap.

Lin Yuhan froze, her excited expression gradually fading.

Yes, it has nothing to do with them... They are not members of the Douluo Federation. On the contrary, they are enemies of the Douluo Federation.

To be an enemy...

Lin Yuhan looked at the scene before her and felt a sense of fear for some reason.

Can Star Luo Empire really win against such an opponent?

On the other side, Zhen Hua watched this scene with satisfaction in his eyes. After everyone quieted down, he said in a deep voice:

"On this auspicious day, I also have two announcements to make. I plan to have the Blacksmith Association and the Spirit Pagoda collaborate, combining various Fusion Forging recipes, to jointly research the Godly Alloy formed by the fusion of nine metals!"

"And Gu Yuena of the Spirit Pagoda, from this day forward, will be my personal disciple. I hereby assert that she will be a future Divine Craftsman!"
