Chapter 367 Wait For Me To Catch Up To You!

Seeing his frantic look, Dong Qianqiu couldn’t help but burst in a laugh.

“You look like an idiot.” It was difficult for Dong Qianqiu to equate this somewhat embarrassed young man with the one who was so intelligent in battle, but at this time, he seemed to be a little cuter.

“It’s because you were running so fast. Why are you so fast now? You got infected by Frenzie’s disease or what ?” Lan Xuanyu said with some embarrassment and humiliation.

Dong Qianqiu snorted, and said, “Who needs to get infected. I’m four-ring now.”

Lan Xuanyu was dumbfounded, “You already have your fourth ring?” He was finally getting close to three-ring. He originally thought he could catch up with Dong Qianqiu’s pace, but he didn’t expect that just after one day not seeing her, and she was already four-ring.

Qian Lei and Liu Feng were also now at three-ring, the one with the lowest soul power was still him.

Seeing his somewhat helpless expression, Dong Qianqiu suddenly said softly: “It’s okay, don’t worry. Your talent is very good. You will catch up soon.”

“Of course.” Lan Xuanyu straightened his chest. He had no doubt about his talent now. He was a man favored by the Dragon God, with its scale accompanying him. What’s wrong with being two-ring, if he released his Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd, even against Tang Yuge, he could hold on his ground, right?

Dong Qianqiu curled his lips, “Arrogant fellow. Alright, I’m leaving, you can learn your forging by yourself.”

“Aren’t you going to take a look with me?” Lan Xuanyu looked at her with some surprise.

“Who’s going to see it with you. How could something as rough as forging be suitable for us girls. And I will definitely sweat, no way I’m staying with you. I’m leaving, see ya.” After finishing speaking, she kicked Lan Xuanyu suddenly, and then turned around while laughing and ran away.

Although Lan Xuanyu reacted quickly and raised his hand to catch her, he still scratched his head. He couldn’t help but feel itchy and shouted: “If you can, try to always stay ahead of me. Wait until I catch up with you, humph, humph!”

Dong Qianqiu ran back and made a grimace at him as he ran, and then ran away at a quicker pace.

Looking at her back leaving, Lan Xuanyu suddenly realized one thing, she actually… She came here specifically to accompany him. She also apologized to him and dissolved the estrangement between them.

His heart grew warmer, and he felt himself in a good mood, a great mood. His whole person seemed to have become a little brighter.

Entering the Shrek Blacksmith Association, it looked very simple and rough, but Lan Xuanyu felt a steely atmosphere as soon as he penetrated inside.

On the ten-meter-high wall on the left, there were pictures showing the appearance of various metals, with annotations under each one. The name, place of origin, and characteristics of the metal were written.

On this wall, probably thousands of rare metals were introduced. As expected of the Blacksmith Association ! Getting familiar with the characteristics of various rare metals must be the first thing a blacksmith had to do. Just like learning how to design a Battle Armor, one had to memorize the patterns of various soul arrays. This was the foundation of everything.

The entire Hall of the Blacksmith Association seemed to be made of metal at first glance. On one side was the reception counter. Inside were some young people who looked to be 17 or 18 years old, who should also be students.

“Are you here to learn forging?” A tall young man with an impressive physique greeted him.

“Greetings senior. I am Lan Xuanyu from the first grade. I want to try forging to see if it’s suitable for me.” Lan Xuanyu immediately explained his intentions.

“Okay. Then come with me.” The young man laughed and patted Lan Xuanyu on the shoulder.

His hand was powerful, at least it made Lan Xuanyu wince when he was patted, fortunately his bones were sturdy.

Seeing the young man walking directly inside, Lan Xuanyu hurriedly followed, “Senior, don’t we need to register or something?”

“No need! Your school uniform and soul communicator can prove that you are indeed from our academy. And it’s just a trial, right ? It’s not sure you will join us yet. Registration is a waste of time. Once you are sure you want to join, it won’t be too late to register.”

What he said makes sense, it was really efficient! Lan Xuanyu found that he seemed to like their style of doing things a little bit. Why waste time? They prefered instead to directly get to the topic in the most straightforward way.

As the young man walked, he also earnestly advised him: “Junior brother! Life in our academy is very tight in time. Unless you have been admitted to the Inner Court in advance, every minute needs to be cherished. I’m helping you to save time, and of course, also for myself.”

After going upstairs, the young man took Lan Xuanyu and directly opened a door on the second floor. The door was also made of metal. What surprised Lan Xuanyu was that the door was very thick, more than half a foot.

The room was small, only about 20 square meters, and a forging counter placed in the center occupied ten square meters. On the other side, there was a shelf on which a dozen kinds of metals were placed, each of which was about one-eighth of a cubic foot. It was not too big, but not too small. Different rare metals exuded different kinds of luster.

This was Lan Xuanyu’s first time seeing rare metals at close range, and he couldn’t help but take a few more peeks.

The young man said: “Choose one you like, and then try it. Forging is actually simple, just forge !”

Lan Xuanyu thought in his mind, it’s really crude ! However, for his first time trying out forging, he indeed needed to get the feels on his own, and he suddenly felt that doing it this way was also very good. The senior did not give too much explanation, and he would not interfere with his judgment. Whether he liked it or not entirely depended on him.

While thinking, he also scanned the metals in front of him.

More than a dozen pieces of metal, with different colors : silver, dark gold, black, and red.

Some had faint patterns on them, some had dots of light that shone on them, and on there was nothing noteworthy, just a simple appearance.

After glancing around, Lan Xuanyu’s gaze fell on a piece of silver-white metal. There seemed to be many silver reflective light dots on this piece of metal. Although there was no strong luster, for some reason, at first glance, Lan Xuanyu was immediately attracted by it. There seemed to be a voice telling him to choose this piece of metal.

Subconsciously, he picked up this piece of metal, it was heavy, it was very heavy for its volume.

“Heavy Silver ! Good choice.” The youth said with a smile.

Was this metal called Heavy Silver?

Lan Xuanyu didn’t know anything about rare metals, but curiously looked at the small but heavy thing in his hand.

“Come here, I’ll teach you.” The senior beckoned to Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu hurriedly took the Heavy Silver and walked over. Taking it from his hand, the young senior stuck it on a slot on the forging counter.

“Here is a button, you see. Before forging, the metal needs to be heated up to make it more ductile and malleable. The forging process, especially at the initial level, is mainly to remove impurities in the metal. For refining the metal. We generally use the terms Hundred Refinement Purification, and Thousand Refinement Soul Forging. In other words, it takes at least one hundred times of folding and forging to make a piece of metal become sufficiently pure. If more than one thousand times, the metal will undergo a qualitative change. It may even appear to have its own soul. Of course, all this is still far away from you. You don’t have to think about it for the first time. After the metal is heated up, try it yourself to see if you like it or if you can gain any insights.”

Lan Xuanyu nodded silently, he pressed the button under the guidance of the senior, suddenly an opening appeared in the forging counter and the piece of Heavy Silver slowly sank. A scorching breath also rushed to his face. Below the forging counter was the melting furnace, which was indeed very convenient.

“Our forging counters are very advanced. They will adjust the heat according to the melting points of different metals, and will be smelted to the most suitable temperature for forging, and then it will automatically rise up, and then you can start forging. Come on, take it.”

While talking, the senior took a forging hammer and handed it to Lan Xuanyu.
