Chapter 28 Half-Step Spirit Forging, Reserve Grandmaster, Na'er's Request
"Using the mind as the hammer, the martial spirit as the guide, mind and spirit united, forging all living beings—Xiao Xiu is moving towards the level of spirit forging!"
Zhenhua's eyes were filled with shock. He looked around, wanting to find someone to tell him about his excitement, but in order not to disturb Jiang Xiu who was already in the zone, he had to suppress the surging emotions in his heart.
And Spirit Forging is the mark of a Grandmaster-level blacksmith!
"Does this metal have some kind of peculiar preference? Why does it get happier the more Jiang Xiu hits it?"
Na'er sensed the changes in the person and the metal, and murmured thoughtfully.
"Na'er, the most important thing for you right now is to throw away those novels that are poisoning your mind!"
Hearing Na'er's whisper, Zhenhua glared at her fiercely. Na'er chuckled and scratched her head sheepishly.
But soon, Jiang Xiu's hammer gradually slowed down, his breathing became more rapid, and sweat seeped from his body, soaking through his white outfit and revealing his well-defined muscles.
"clang!"
As the final hammer fell, Jiang Xiu stopped swinging his arms, and the Deep Sea Silver on the table let out a mournful cry before all the blue light returned to its body.
"Phew! Still not quite there..."
Looking at the metal before him, Jiang Xiu said regretfully that he had entered the special state of spirit forging and had grasped a sliver of opportunity, but in the end, he was still missing something.
"Clap clap clap!"
Zhenhua clapped his hands, looked at Jiang Xiu with admiration in his eyes, and said with a heartfelt smile.
"Very good, Xiao Xiu. Your performance far exceeded my expectations. This metal has already reached the half-step spirit forging level. I can see that you have also touched the opportunity of spirit forging. With more practice, you will definitely be able to do it soon!"
"Teacher, I will definitely do better next time. It's just a pity about this piece of metal; I couldn't successfully imbue it with spirit."
Jiang Xiu said with a sigh, "Spirit forging is precisely what gives metal a soul, allowing it to have a close connection with the Soul Master."
"Jiang Xiu...you, you, you, don't make such a big leap, okay? You're making me look really silly."
Na'er came to Jiang Xiu's side, tossed him a white handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and then hummed softly while embracing him with her jade-like arms. She was now eager to find a word to describe Jiang Xiu's imperceptible pretense.
What's most infuriating is that Jiang Xiu actually succeeded in his act!
"Na'er, what are you babbling about over there? It's your turn. If you don't complete the second-grade thousand-fold forging, you'll be punished by not being allowed to eat your favorite oranges for a month."
Zhenhua frowned. Na'er, that little brat, always managed to interrupt him when he was happy. He then took out a piece of dark silver and placed it on the table.
"No, I'll forge it myself."
Na'er's lips curled down, and she walked towards the forging table. But as soon as Na'er reached the forging table, she instantly entered a special state.
With a flash of silver light, two small silver hammers appeared in his hands. A silver glint appeared in his purple eyes, and wisps of light shone on the hammers.
"My super intelligence tells me it's time to unleash my super power!"
Na'er murmured to herself, and instantly swung the silver hammer in her hand, smashing it onto the heavy silver like a lithe silver dragon. Although the force was small, the speed was incredibly fast.
A series of jingling sounds immediately rang out.
Zhenhua nodded in satisfaction. Although Na'er was a bit lazy at times, her talent was undeniable.
Soon, half an hour passed quietly, and a piece of second-grade refined silver appeared on the table.
"I'm exhausted!"
Na'er put away her silver hammer and said weakly, as if she had lost all her means and strength.
Zhenhua's vision went black at this sight. Although he was a divine craftsman and cultivation was not his forte, he still possessed the cultivation of a titled Douluo. He could tell at a glance that Na'er still had some remaining power, but she simply chose not to use it.
"Well, it's good that Na'er can keep up with Xiao Xiu's pace."
Zhenhua comforted himself in his heart, then took out two badges with a blue background and silver bars and pinned them on Jiang Xiu and Na'er respectively.
"Today, I hereby announce that you have officially become Level 4 Blacksmiths. I hope that you two will continue to advance."
Zhenhua said solemnly, with four silver bars clearly visible on the blue badge.
"Thank you for your guidance, teacher. It was just a fluke."
Na'er waved her hand and said, "The minimum requirement for a level four blacksmith is a thousand-fold forging of second grade, which she just barely meets."
"You'd better be."
Zhenhua tapped Na'er, then continued to give her instructions.
"Next, I will be returning to the Blacksmith Association for a while. You two must not slack off. You cannot neglect either forging or cultivation. After all, if you want to advance to a higher level of blacksmith, the support of cultivation is essential."
"We understand!"
Jiang Xiu and Na'er said in unison.
"Alright, I'll be going now. Oh, by the way, Xiaoxiu, your master has something to do at the Ocean. I'll let you know. You can arrange your own time for the next month."
Just as Zhenhua was about to walk out, he seemed to remember something and said to Jiang Xiu.
"Okay, teacher, take care."
Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered, and he said softly.
"Okay, no need to see me off."
Zhenhua nodded slightly, and the moment he turned around, a smile on his face was harder to suppress than an AK. A ten-year-old half-step master-level blacksmith, this was simply astonishing.
"President, please get in the car."
Outside the Body Sect, a luxurious soul-guided car was parked. Upon seeing Zhenhua emerge, a man immediately came forward to greet him. He was none other than the vice president of the Shrek City Blacksmith Association branch.
"Little Sun, how did you know my disciple had broken through to the fourth level of blacksmithing?"
Zhenhua smiled, a rare sight on his face.
Vice President Sun was taken aback when he heard this, thinking that he hadn't asked.
"Guild Master, someone from the Qian Gu Clan has arrived, requesting you to forge a set of Heaven-Forged Four-Character Battle Armor..."
"Oh, Little Sun, how did you know my disciple had broken through to the fourth level of blacksmithing?"
"..."
……
Within the ontology sect.
Seeing Zhenhua leave, Na'er instantly relaxed, casually took out an orange, peeled it and put it in her mouth, and thoughtfully handed half to Jiang Xiu.
"Boss, do you have some time later? Could you come out with me?"
A glint of light flashed in Na'er's eyes as she asked expectantly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu immediately prepared to return the orange to Na'er. He said that Na'er was not guarding her food today and was giving him half back. It turned out that she needed his help.
"Little sister Na'er is in trouble, boss, you can't just leave her alone."
Na'er pushed the orange back and said pitifully.
"You go first."
Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow and asked, feeling that Na'er was indeed a little different today.
"Well, how should I put it? My master discovered a genius in the East China Sea and wants to test his strength, so he's planning to take me with him. But since you're my boss, I want you to come with me to keep things under control."
Na'er chuckled, revealing her pearly white teeth, and stuck out her pink tongue shyly.
"A genius? Could it be Gu Yue? That makes sense. This time period coincides with the time when Gu Yue appears in the East China Sea. So, for the sake of the next plan, it's not impossible to make a trip there."
A glint flashed in Jiang Xiu's eyes as he silently pondered.
"So, can you agree?"
Na'er stared intently at Jiang Xiu with her beautiful eyes and asked expectantly.
"able."
"Boss Jiang Xiu! I bow down to you in utter admiration!"
Upon hearing this, Na'er's purple eyes lit up immediately.
"I haven't finished speaking yet. Going is fine, but little brother Na'er, you're testing me with just half an orange? What leader wouldn't withstand such a test?"
Jiang Xiu said something pointed.
"So what do you want?"
Na'er was taken aback and asked tentatively.
"You need to pay more!"
