Zhen Hua: Times Have Changed. Should I Retire?

Zhen Hua's joke quickly turned into a boomerang and pierced his body.

Gu Yuena, who had been eagerly waiting, exchanged a glance with Huo Yuhao beside her when Zhen Hua spoke, her eyes sparkling.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and stood up to ask, "May I move with you?"

Zhen Hua nodded in understanding and led the group to a Forging Room.

You can't forge it in his office.

Before leaving, Zhen Hua told a staff member to wait there for a moment when Dark Phoenix Douluo returned.

"Let's do it here."

Zhen Hua led the group into a Forging Room.

Inside, the walls were covered with various forging tools, and several huge metal ores were placed on the floor. In the center of the room was a huge Forging Platform.

Zhen Hua thought Gu Yuena would take out Rare Metal and place it on the Forging Platform, but he saw her walk to the side of the open space, take out a piece of Rare Metal Blue Pregnant Copper, and with a flash of blue light, the metal floated in the sky.

Modern Blacksmith don't even need Forging Platform anymore?

When did I become out of touch with the times?

Zhen Hua was somewhat bewildered just by seeing Gu Yuena's initial actions.

Seeing that Gu Yuena showed no intention of taking out a forging hammer, and that a four-colored elemental halo appeared around her, beginning to swirl around the metal, causing the Elemental Power in the air to surge violently, Zhen Hua couldn't help but look at Huo Yuhao and Snow Empress, "What does this mean?"

Snow Empress also looked at Huo Yuhao, who said softly, "Since the essence of forging is to refine and alter Metal essence Metal essence, there's no need to be bound by form. Why must we use a forging hammer?"

Zhen Hua shook his head. "That's not what I meant. Although I'm Blacksmith, I'm not bound by formalities. What method she chooses to use forging is none of my business. It's just that her current behavior is too similar to Heavenly Forging's..."

At this point, Zhen Hua was speechless, unsure how to describe the shock he felt.

Forging by mobilizing the Elemental Power of heaven and earth—isn't this the Heavenly Forging Method?

However, unlike his Heavenly Forging, Gu Yuena mobilized less Elemental Power and did not carry any understanding of the Laws, so it would not form an elemental Tribulation Lightning.

But the Power of Heaven and Earth infused into the metal is real!

While Zhen Hua was in turmoil, Gu Yuena's fingers twitched slightly, causing the surrounding Elemental Power to vibrate inexplicably and begin refining the metal.

To improve accuracy, she now only uses four elements: wind, fire, earth, and light.

Gu Yuena moved with lightness and elegance. As she manipulated the metal, it began to change, its surface shimmering as it was Reshaping by the Elemental Power.

Under the influence of the Elemental Power, the metal gradually softens and begins to take on new forms under its guidance. Each minute vibration makes the metal's structure more compact and its texture more resilient.

Gu Yuena's gaze was extremely focused, as if she could see through every detail of the metal, precisely controlling the flow of Elemental Power, and removing some of the restrictions on herself.

She wants to do her best, to be even better than before!

Time passed quickly, and several minutes went by. Seeing that Gu Yuena's movements were gradually slowing down, Zhen Hua opened his mouth to speak, but at that moment, a dazzling light suddenly shot out from the Blue Pregnant Copper floating in the air, turning into a blue-gold pillar of light that shot into the sky!

Thousand Forging imbue it with spirit; Thousand Forging First Grade!

The Thousand Forging First Grade, also known as Half Spirit Forging, is the stage where the Blacksmith imbues the metal with spirituality, giving it the initial Life Aura. Metal treated with this technique can better resonate with a Soul Master when fused with them, and it is an essential step before mastering the Spirit Forging stage.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yuena with considerable surprise.

Is it possible to break through on the spot?

If she can consistently achieve the Thousand Forging First Grade, she won't be far from Spirit Forging. Previously, Gu Yuena had only reached the Thousand Forging Second Grade at most, but unexpectedly, she has risen to another level this time.

As expected of one of the main characters, he's definitely different from imposters like him.

"Using Heavenly Forging instead of Thousand Forging... You little rascals really know how to come up with ideas."

When Zhen Hua saw that Gu Yuena had truly completed the Thousand Forging, and even the Half Spirit Forging, his face twitched. "This little girl's Martial Soul should be able to master multiple elements, right? Not only that, she has also comprehended four Heart of Elements!"

Elemental Spirit Master who master the Heart of Elements can indeed mobilize external Elemental Power, but what level of cultivation level does that usually require?

In his memory, most Elemental Spirit Master mastered the Heart of Elements only when they possessed the Divine Power of the late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, and they could only master one Heart of Elements!

For Heavenly Forging, both Divine Power and Elemental Affinity are crucial. Only when both reach a certain One Ring can one draw upon the Power of Heaven and Earth. While Soul Masters who have mastered the Heart of Elements certainly have an advantage in their original attributes and can more easily mobilize the Elemental Power, they cannot perform Heavenly Forging if they only master one Heart of Elements.

This girl was like the darling of the elements; all the elements obeyed her commands completely, and the Power of Heaven and Earth was directly in her grasp.

As her Divine Power increases, she can mobilize more of the Power of Heaven and Earth, eventually comprehending the Laws and thus gaining complete understanding of the Heavenly Forging Method!

Others learn Heavenly Forging step by step, but she's someone who runs from the finish line to the starting line; she's simply a born Divine Craftsman!

It was even more terrifying than the "Divine Craftsman's seed" he had previously imagined...

At this moment, Zhen Hua was excited and had the idea of taking Gu Yuena as his disciple.

Regardless of whether the other party is from the Spirit Pagoda or not, this person is destined to become Divine Craftsman. Hesitating for even a second is disrespectful to the forging profession!

But seeing Snow Empress watching quietly to the side, Zhen Hua felt as if he had been doused with ice water, and he calmed down temporarily, only secretly marveling at the terrifying power of the Spirit Pagoda.

The Spirit Pagoda is home to numerous Ferocious Beast at its upper levels, with each Super Douluo guarding a region, and below them are countless individuals of unparalleled talent, ensuring its enduring prosperity.

"Since you've demonstrated such an ability to me, you surely didn't do it to make me envious, did you?" Zhen Hua smiled as he looked at Snow Empress. "If it were her, I would be willing to set aside Sect Bias and teach her Heavenly Forging... even if she doesn't want to join the Blacksmith Association."

The Snow Empress chuckled and shook her head. "She is not my disciple, but His Heavenly Phoenix Crown's disciple. I cannot make that decision; it depends on her own opinion, or His Heavenly Phoenix Crown's opinion."

Zhen Hua raised an eyebrow, seemingly lost in thought. "So, he's that person's disciple."

After a moment's thought, his gaze shifted to Gu Yuena, who stood before Huo Yuhao with her hands behind her back, her eyes shining.

Huo Yuhao: "..."

He smiled helplessly, "Well done."

Hearing this, Gu Yuena nodded gently, a satisfied smile on her face.

Zhen Hua walked over and, seeing this, smiled, "Using the Heavenly Forging Method instead of the Thousand Forging Method is a wildly imaginative and novel approach. However, implementing it is even more difficult than ascending to heaven. Although you have an advantage in Martial Soul, completing this will not be an easy task. You must have been training for a long time, right?"

Gu Yuena was taken aback, then shook her head. "It only took about three months; it wasn't very difficult."

Zhen Hua: "..."

In three months, I accomplished what took me years to achieve, going from zero to mastering the Thousand Forging? And I even forged a new path?

Young lady, even if it's true, you don't need to say it aloud. It hurts to hear that...

Zhen Hua was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
