Chapter 15: Shocking Test, Become a Master of the Saint Craftsman
He knew both Muchen and Cen Yue.
Among them, Muchen is the president of the East China Sea Forgers Association, a top blacksmith at the eight-star saint craftsman level. His forging ability is second only to the master craftsman Zhenhua. Originally, he had the opportunity to reach the master craftsman level, but when faced with this opportunity, he chose his wife Yuan Baoer and gave up this opportunity. Zhenhua's choice was exactly the opposite of his, and he eventually became a master craftsman.
The other Cen Yue is the vice president of the East China Sea Forgers Association. His forging ability is slightly weaker than Muchen's, but he is also very powerful, having reached the level of a sixth-level spiritual forging master. He is one of the best in the entire East China Sea Forgers Association. Only Muchen can surpass him in forging, and no one else, not even Mang Tian, is as good as him. For this reason, he can become the vice president of the East China Sea Forgers Association.
Later, Mu Chen became Tang Wulin's second forging teacher and his guide on the road of forging. He truly allowed Tang Wulin, the forging genius, to demonstrate his talent. From this point of view, his teaching ability is also among the best.
Liu Yixuan was very surprised to see Muchen. He subconsciously looked back at Mang Tian, wondering why the other party wanted to introduce him to Muchen?
Did he want him to switch to Mu Chen's sect?
"Hello!"
Meng Qianxue followed Liu Yixuan and greeted Mu Chen and Cen Yue, but because of her cold personality, her tone seemed quite stiff.
"Ok!"
Hearing this, Mu Chen nodded calmly, then looked at Liu Yixuan and said with a smile: "Let's start, let me see your forging ability."
"Ok!"
Hearing this, Liu Yixuan nodded, then took out a piece of blue copper from the metal cabinet next to him.
Seeing this scene, Mu Chen and Cen Yue were quite surprised. They didn't expect that Liu Yixuan would choose a rare metal that is extremely difficult to forge!
But after seeing the thousand-forged blue copper in the other party's hand, the two calmed down again, thinking that Liu Yixuan might indeed have a certain level of strength, because the pair of thousand-forged blue copper in the other party's hand was connected with the other party's aura, and it was very likely that the other party had forged it himself.
Mu Xi opened her mouth, extremely shocked. At the same time, she secretly sighed at Liu Yixuan's arrogance and started thinking about how to laugh at him later.
"Clang clang clang!"
After calcining, Liu Yixuan took the forging table out of the high-temperature chamber, slowly raised it, then dropped the two hammers and began his performance.
That's right, it was a performance. Although Liu Yixuan's forging speed was very fast, each stroke was just right, like rain hitting banana leaves, making crisp and pleasant knocking sounds. The strange rhythm made people unconsciously immersed in it, as if they were listening to a gorgeous piece of music.
Mu Chen and Cen Yue were very shocked when they heard the rhythm of Liu Yixuan's forging.
The two of them could see that Liu Yixuan already had his own forging rhythm, and he also entered a strange state in the first instant.
This state is called fusion!
The so-called fusion means that the blacksmith resonates with the metal he forges and enters into a wonderful state of fusion. In this state, the blacksmith can often create fine products, because the other party's forged work contains the blacksmith's emotions and ideas.
Mu Xi also looked at Liu Yixuan's actions seriously, and the expression on his face changed, quickly changing from disdain at the beginning to confusion.
Although her level was far inferior to Mu Chen and Cen Yue, she could see that Liu Yixuan was really capable. Although he was young, he already had the aura of a master. His forging was precise and rhythmic, as if he was performing. This was something she had never seen before and could never do.
Seeing this picture, she felt frustrated and began to doubt unconsciously.
Is he really a fourth-level blacksmith?
How could there be such a monster?
Half an hour later, Liu Yixuan's two hammers fell heavily, and a circle of dazzling blue light suddenly burst out from the body of Lan Yuntong, which had shrunk a circle.
The spiritual light spread out, and then suddenly condensed, rising to a height of three feet.
After a while, the spiritual light faded, and the appearance of the blue copper had changed drastically. Compared with before, circles of irregular textures appeared on its surface. These textures seemed to have life. The texture styles were completely different when viewed from different angles.
Looking at this piece of thousand-forged metal, Mu Chen and Cen Yue couldn't help but open their mouths in shock, their hearts were extremely shocked!
Mang Tian was secretly pleased in his heart, now you should know how powerful I am, right?
Although I, Mangtian, am not as good as you in forging, my disciples are very talented!
With his talent and understanding, he will surpass you sooner or later in the future. It's a pity that I can't give him more guidance!
"Has this reached the first level of the Thousand Forgings?"
After a long while, Cen Yue turned his head and looked at President Mu Chen, and asked in great shock.
"Ok!"
Hearing this, Mu Chen nodded, looked at Liu Yixuan, clapped his hands, and said with appreciation: "Not bad, I didn't expect that at such a young age you could actually forge a thousand-forged grade one blue copper. Your level is close to that of a fifth-level forging master."
As he said that, he looked at Mang Tian and said, "Mang Tian, you have trained a good disciple, give him to me. You can ask for any conditions!"
Hearing this, Mu Xi was a little shocked. She really didn't expect that her father would take the initiative to accept a disciple!
And the person chosen was someone who already had a teacher.
But when she thought of the other person's talent, she calmed down again.
When Cen Yue heard Mu Chen's words, he remained calm. Liu Yixuan's talent was too strong. If he were in his place, he would have made the same choice.
Liu Yixuan was a little confused. He didn't expect Mu Chen to be so direct!
"President Mu, this is not good, right?"
Hearing this, Mang Tian glanced at Liu Yixuan, a little reluctant, but still said: "Yixuan, Mu Chen is an eight-star saint craftsman, his forging level is far above mine, you should learn forging from him in the future!"
Hearing this, Liu Yixuan was shocked, looked at Mang Tian reluctantly, and said: "Master, you don't want me anymore!"
"of course not."
Hearing this, Mang Tian shook his head and said, "I would like to continue teaching you, but your forging skills are improving too fast. I have already taught you everything I should have taught you, and there is no way I can teach you more."
"It is for your own good that you are allowed to become President Mu Chen's disciple. You don't have to feel guilty or have any psychological burden. This is all what Master has thought of a long time ago."
Hearing this, Liu Yixuan was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Seeing that Liu Yixuan had no reaction, Mu Chen felt more and more satisfied, so he smiled and said, "Yixuan, after you become my disciple, Mangtian is still your master. It's okay for a legend to have two teachers."
Hearing this, Mang Tian was shocked and looked at Muchen in great surprise. He really didn't expect the other party to say such a thing. You know, blacksmiths are of the same lineage, and no one is willing to share their outstanding disciples with others.
Mu Chen broke the rules of the forging world and put him on the same level as himself, which touched his heart.
So, he looked at Liu Yixuan and said, "Yixuan, come over and meet the master!"
Hearing this, Liu Yixuan nodded and bowed to Mu Chen as his apprentice.
Seeing this, Mu Chen was pleasantly surprised. He immediately helped Liu Yixuan up and said, "Okay, from now on you will be my Mu Chen's apprentice."
"Take this storage ring. It has a cubic meter of space. It's a gift from your master!"
"Thank you, master!"
"Where are you going next?"
"East Sea College."
"Oh, then you and Mu Xi will be alumni soon. She is also in Donghai College and is in the fifth grade this year. She is considered your senior."
Hearing this, Liu Yixuan glanced at the radiant blonde girl next to him and said with a smile, "Hello, senior sister!"
Mu Xi nodded, sighed, and said, "Your name is Liu Yixuan, right? You are such a freak. I don't know how you learned forging and became a fourth-level forger."
As she spoke, her heart was filled with frustration, and she no longer had the desire to compare herself with Liu Yixuan, because the gap between the two was so huge that there was no comparison at all!
Hearing this, Liu Yixuan scratched his head shyly and said modestly: "This is because my master Mang Tian taught me well."
Mang Tian glanced at Liu Yixuan and said with a wry smile: "You kid still knows how to be modest."
Mu Chen said: "Yixuan, you have to improve your soul power from now on. Come to the Blacksmith Association once a week. I will teach you more forging knowledge and precautions to help you lay a good foundation."
Liu Yixuan said: "Yes, Master!"
"Okay, today should be the registration day for Donghai College, you should hurry over!"
"Okay, Masters, goodbye!"
"Mu Xi, take them to Donghai College."
"Okay, Dad."...
After becoming Mu Chen's apprentice, Liu Yixuan came to Donghai College under the guidance of Mu Xi to prepare for reporting.
Donghai College is a large college with both intermediate and advanced college qualifications. Therefore, it is divided into intermediate college department and advanced college department. Liu Yuxin, who picked up the new students at the train station, is a student from the advanced college department.
In the federal academies, although there is only a one-letter difference between intermediate and advanced, in reality, the difference is huge.
Intermediate colleges are compulsory education and do not charge tuition. Senior colleges are no longer compulsory education, but only those who pass a series of rigorous examinations can be admitted. Only those who can be admitted to senior colleges are the real elite.
In the soul master academy of Donghai College, the intermediate college occupies about two-thirds of the entire academy area, but the essence of Donghai College lies in the advanced college which occupies one-third of the area.
In addition, the difficulty of entering the intermediate college and the advanced college is also different. For the intermediate college, as long as you are a soul master and have a recommendation letter from a junior college in Donghai City and its surrounding towns, you can come here to receive soul master education. The intermediate college has a six-year study period, but when you graduate from the sixth grade, no more than one-tenth of the people can actually be admitted to the advanced soul master college.
If the primary college teaches the basic knowledge of martial spirits and spirit masters, then the intermediate college teaches spirit masters how to apply this knowledge, how to exert their martial spirits and position themselves for the future. When it comes to the advanced college, it is the real advanced study, and you can't enter without a certain talent for cultivation.
Liu Yixuan naturally had no such worries.
Mu Xi was greatly stimulated today. She sent him to the college gate and left directly.
Liu Yixuan didn't care either!
He walked into Donghai College confidently, asked Meng Qianxue to drive away, and went to report alone. Because Donghai College is a boarding college, he could not go to school as a day student and could only live in the college to study like other students.
Walking into the college, you will see green trees, flowers and plants, and water-like scenes everywhere, rockery fountains, rugged rocks, lush green bamboo forests, and picturesque pavilions. Everywhere exudes an elegance like garden art.
As soon as Liu Yixuan entered the academy, he saw a wide horizontal road extending to both sides, while the road in front of him was paved with bluestone slabs, which looked quite ancient.
As the only senior college in Donghai City, Donghai is not short of money, so the environment is extremely beautiful and refreshing.
After registering at the teaching building, Liu Yixuan received his school uniform, dormitory number and key.
Because he was not used to living with others, Liu Yixuan activated his superpowers and asked the school's logistics director to allocate him a whole dormitory. The school's logistics director was not very happy at first, but after he told him that he was a genius of the Spirit Pagoda, the logistics director's attitude changed drastically and he directly opened the door for him.
But for some reason, his dormitory was in 206, the last room on the second floor, next to Tang Wulin's dormitory.
After returning to his dormitory, Liu Yixuan tidied up and then folded the bed.
Afterwards, he was about to go out to the cafeteria to eat, but unexpectedly he ran into Xie Xie, who had a bruised face and nose, and Tang Wulin, who looked a little embarrassed.
The two of them and two other roommates had just been reprimanded by the Dean of Studies, Long Hengxu. After they calmed down, they returned to their dormitory together.
Liu Yixuan stood at the door of dormitory 205, looking at the embarrassed appearance of these guys. He had some guesses in his mind, but still asked curiously: "Tang Wulin, what happened to you?"
Hearing this, Tang Wulin glanced at Xie Xie and said, "Fight."
"Oh!"
Hearing this, Liu Yixuan's eyes lit up and said with a smile: "Fighting on the first day of school, you are really amazing!"
As he spoke, he gave Tang Wulin a thumbs up.
"Did you win?"
Hearing this, Tang Wulin smiled bitterly and said, "We won, but the academy made us pay!"
"Thirty-four thousand federal coins, I can't afford it at all?"
Hearing this, Liu Yixuan smiled and said, "Do you want to borrow money from me?"
"You know, this little money means nothing to me."
Hearing this, Tang Wulin's heart moved, and he quickly shook his head and said, "No need!"
He didn't want to owe Liu Yixuan a favor because the other party was too outstanding, with outstanding looks and strong strength, which made him feel inferior. If he borrowed money again, he would not be able to hold his head up in front of Liu Yixuan.
"OK then!"
Hearing this, Liu Yixuan smiled and said nothing more. Then, he glanced at Xie Xie, who had a head full of golden hair, and left the dormitory building.
Watching Liu Yixuan's receding figure, Xie Xie looked at Tang Wulin beside him and asked curiously, "Who is this guy? He's so handsome! He's almost as handsome as me."
To be honest, Xie Xie felt that Liu Yixuan had a very unique temperament. He was not like an ordinary person at all. Just standing there gave him a terrible sense of oppression, like a dormant beast. As for his appearance, it was perfect and impeccable.
Hearing Xie Xie's words, Tang Wulin sighed, then introduced him expressionlessly: "His name is Liu Yixuan, a very powerful man."
"Oh!"
Hearing this, Xie Xie's eyes flashed, and a little interest appeared on his cold face: "Is he better than you?"
Hearing this, Tang Wulin smiled bitterly and said, "He is much stronger than me. I don't think all the people in our intermediate academy combined would be his match."
"So strong?"
Xie Xie was greatly surprised. He really didn't expect that there was such a master in Donghai College.
"What is his current level of cultivation?"
Tang Wulin shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. Last time I heard he was level 11, but now he might be level 15!"
"Level 15?"
Hearing this, Xie Xie's eyes flashed, and a bit of disdain appeared in his eyes, and he said: "You are all provoked by this little cultivation. You intermediate colleges are really useless!"
Hearing this, Tang Wulin immediately clenched his fists, his mind moved, and then he sneered at Xie Xie in front of him: "You can't even beat a loser like me, aren't you worse than loser?"
Hearing this, Xie Xie gritted his teeth and almost couldn't help but beat Tang Wulin.
He finally endured it, but with a cold light flashing in his eyes, he said in a cold tone: "Tang Wulin, that time doesn't count. Let's compete again."
"No!" Tang Wulin shook his head, showing no interest at all.
He was just about to go to the Blacksmith Association to take on a mission and make some money so that he could pay off the compensation to the academy as soon as possible. He didn't intend to care about other people's share, as he was sure to pay off his own share.
Seeing Tang Wulin's nonchalant look, Xie Xie immediately clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth in anger. He really wanted to catch Tang Wulin and beat him up, but when he thought of the warning from the Dean of Studies, Long Hengxu, he calmed down and said to Tang Wulin with a cold face, "As long as you fight with me, I will pay for the compensation to the academy this time."
Hearing this, Tang Wulin was overjoyed and immediately said excitedly: "Oh, when and where should I fight you?"
Xie Xie said calmly: "Tomorrow, Donghai Park!"
Seeing Tang Wulin's excitement, he felt a little unhappy and left quickly. He had to get his face treated, otherwise the bruised face would affect him too much.
Tang Wulin was taken to the cafeteria by his roommates Zhou Changxi and Yun Xiao to eat. He even competed with Zhou Changxi in eating amount and broke the record of the previous big eater in the academy.
Liu Yixuan ignored Tang Wulin's affairs. He left the cafeteria after eating, returned to his dormitory, and began to practice the body-building technique.
Compared to Xie Xie, his cultivation was much worse, only at level 15. This made his first soul skill last for a very short time, and he could only use it to fully enhance his power for a short three minutes. Although it was enough for the opponent's peers, he was not able to defeat the opponent's stronger soul master.
Therefore, Liu Yixuan did not dare to slack off and kept practicing hard.
Because he knew that his talent was not very good, he wanted to make up for it through hard work.
