The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

Among the many blacksmiths, Zhang Lingfeng stood in a corner, the most easily overlooked spot, which was originally the location of his forging table.

Staying in this corner to forge divine weapons will not attract attention, and it is easy to fully commit to the "lying down and doing nothing" approach. Therefore, this location was chosen by Zhang Lingfeng himself.

Ma Dashuai, Chen Fenfang, and others were all focused on Wu Xiaomei, Master Yang, or Master Wang.

They are the future of Shenjiangpu.

Especially Wu Xiaomei.

She is Ma Dashuai's personal disciple, a true inheritor of his teachings.

But as long as they are in the forging room, everyone's eyes will eventually be on each and every blacksmith.

Moreover, this assessment is not only to improve everyone's strength, but also to drive Zhang Lingfeng away, so as to prevent him from wasting his time here and affecting the future of the Divine Craftsman Shop.

Therefore, Commander Ma's gaze swept over each person.

Finally, it came down to Zhang Lingfeng.

Compared to Master Yang and Wu Xiaomei, Zhang Lingfeng, who was forging a small throwing knife, seemed unhurried and relaxed among the group of blacksmiths.

It's as if they don't care about their assessment results at all, or they're not worried about failing the assessment at all.

This lazy behavior made Ma Dashuai's expression tense up again.

Zhang Lingfeng was truly unafraid even when facing death.

In that case, let's fulfill his wish.

However, just as he was about to shift his attention and ignore Zhang Lingfeng, Ma Dashuai froze, his gaze fixed on Zhang Lingfeng.

It was as if they could never move away again.

Chen Fenfang was also sizing up Zhang Lingfeng, knowing that Zhang Lingfeng had angered Commander Ma a lot recently.

"Eighth...eighth-level divine body?"

She exclaimed in surprise.

As a divine rune master, she possesses powerful perception and is also a mid-level high-ranking god.

Chen Fenfang could sense the fluctuations in Zhang Lingfeng's aura.

It's important to know that when Master Ou first took Zhang Lingfeng to him to receive the divine rune baptism, Zhang Lingfeng only possessed a level four divine body.

When General Ma brought a group of blacksmiths to baptize him last time, Zhang Lingfeng's divine body was only at level five, but now it has become level eight.

General Ma naturally noticed this as well.

When he drove Zhang Lingfeng away, telling him not to embarrass himself in his forging room, Zhang Lingfeng had only just acquired a level six divine body.

After just one month, he has actually acquired an eighth-level divine body?

Could it be that he has been focusing all his attention on cultivating his divine body during this time, instead of just loafing around and waiting to die, and that I have misunderstood him?

I was afraid I had misread it.

Commander Ma released his divine soul power and carefully sensed the fluctuations of Zhang Lingfeng's divine body power. He found that it was indeed an eighth-level divine body.

"Big brother, Zhang Lingfeng, he..."

Chen Fenfang asked in confusion.

Zhang Lingfeng's physical progress is too fast.

"Father, Zhang Lingfeng's divine body has broken through."

Ma Fei exclaimed in surprise.

As a first-level god, he did not have the discerning eye of Chen Fenfang and Ma Dashuai, and could not tell at a glance that Zhang Lingfeng's divine body had reached the eighth level.

But upon closer inspection, after releasing his sensory gaze, he still discovered the problem.

"Has this guy had some kind of extraordinary encounter?"

General Ma frowned.

"When he came to our Divine Craftsman Shop, I sent someone to investigate him at the Ou Family Compound. According to Captain Ou's description, Zhang Lingfeng only had the strength of a Level One True God when he first entered the Ou Family Compound."

Because he was an eighth-level Soul Master with the potential to become a blacksmith, the Ou family fleet took him in. However, due to his eccentric personality and his constant pursuit of food, drink, and entertainment, many people initially refused to acknowledge him.

Later, his divine body made continuous breakthroughs, which finally caught Captain Ou's attention, leading him to decide to take him to his aunt for baptism.

Ma Fei recalled.

He meant to say that Zhang Lingfeng had good talent for cultivation.

This improvement in strength seems to have nothing to do with any special opportunity.

"I remember you saying more than once that to become a qualified blacksmith, one must first possess a powerful divine body. Could it be that Zhang Lingfeng only focused on cultivating his divine body under these circumstances, thus neglecting the cultivation of his blacksmithing skills?"

Chen Fenfang said.

"I think it's entirely possible."

Ma Fei echoed.

"Father, although Zhang Lingfeng has a peculiar personality, he has never done anything to betray our Divine Craftsman Shop. As his divine body improves, his skills will gradually become stronger in the future."

Ma Fei pleaded for Zhang Lingfeng.

The massage chairs that Zhang Lingfeng once forged brought considerable profits to the Divine Craftsman Shop, even though they did not receive the support of Commander Ma.

But in Ma Fei's eyes, Zhang Lingfeng was a smart man who could bring help to the Divine Craftsman Shop.

"If he had focused all his attention on cultivating his divine body, he could have just told me. I wouldn't have... Oh well, considering he's a talented person, I won't hold it against him."

If he were to attain godhood in the future, his first-class forging skills would bring considerable profits to the Divine Craftsman's Shop.

Ma Dashuai was both annoyed and amused.

To have elevated one's divine body to this level in such a short time, it is almost a certainty that one will attain godhood in the future.

Moreover, Zhang Lingfeng is a first-level blacksmith.

Their potential is beyond doubt.

The behavior that he previously considered offensive is now gradually fading in his mind.

"Thank you dad."

Ma Fei laughed.

"Given his talent, if he could focus on forging skills in the future, his achievements in forging might very well be astonishing once again..."

Chen Fenfang sighed.

Clang!

She hasn't finished speaking yet.

Zhang Lingfeng released his divine soul power, controlling flames to temper a piece of refining material, and the iron hammer in his hand fell continuously.

Under the coverage of secondary forging technology.

Zhang Lingfeng's forging technique became incredibly smooth, practically flawless, as if he were a master craftsman who had spent many years honing his skills in the forging workshop.

The rough refining materials were quickly cleansed of impurities by the flames and hammers, and all the impurities vanished with the smoke.

The internal space within the material is subtly changing as the solid spiritual power fluctuates.

Clang!

Zhang Lingfeng's hammer fell again and again.

The sparks picked up were enveloped by the power of the divine soul and returned to the flames. The flames kept the refining materials wrapped around them, and the heavy and solid power rules of the divine continent gradually softened under this power.

An ordinary refining material undergoes continuous transformation under the influence of divine soul and flames, until a divine light is released from the material.

It was with the release of this light that...

This brought Chen Fenfang's voice to an abrupt halt.

"His...his skill?"

As a divine inscription master, Chen Fenfang can perform baptisms for soul essence masters, blacksmiths, and even god-level powerhouses. She can know exactly how strong a blacksmith's skills are just by looking at their forging techniques.

She could discern the skill level of blacksmiths below at least level four.

The skill Zhang Lingfeng displayed at this moment was not that of a first-level blacksmith, but rather a forging level that only a second-level blacksmith could possess.

In other words.

During this period, Zhang Lingfeng not only cultivated from a sixth-level True God to an eighth-level True God, but also made breakthroughs in his forging skills, advancing from a first-level blacksmith to a second-level blacksmith. "This..."

Ma Fei was dumbfounded.

I thought I was seeing things.

Unable to resist rubbing his eyes, he took a few steps forward and discovered that Zhang Lingfeng's skill level had indeed broken through.

He went from being a first-level blacksmith to a second-level blacksmith.

As Zhang Lingfeng's forging technique gradually accelerated, Ma Dashuai's eyes widened and widened until they finally became completely glazed over.

Zhang Lingfeng has actually become a Level 2 Blacksmith.

He clearly remembered that he hadn't taught Zhang Lingfeng much.

No, it should be said that Zhang Lingfeng didn't practice much with him, and seemed to never really care about what he was taught.

He seemed to be just casually browsing, joining in the fun with everyone else. I never saw him studying, or seriously forging any divine weapon in the forge.

Several times in a row, when he noticed a problem and wanted to step forward to help guide and correct it, the machine would suddenly stop working and go to the side to rest. He was so angry that he almost went crazy.

But this very person was the one who progressed the fastest among this group of blacksmiths; he actually went from a level one blacksmith to a level two blacksmith.

I can't even imagine what level of achievement this guy would reach if he cultivated seriously, focused more, worked harder, and put in more effort.

Whether or not one can pass on their skills.

General Ma's mind wandered.

Although Zhang Lingfeng's skills as a Level 2 blacksmith were not outstanding among the group of blacksmiths in the Divine Craftsman Shop, his eyes were still glued to him.

He kept staring at Zhang Lingfeng.

Even if he were stupid, he would know at this moment that Zhang Lingfeng was an extremely talented individual.

Not only is he good at improving his physical condition, but he is also very sensitive to forging techniques. If he is properly trained, he will definitely be able to inherit his skills in the future, and may even surpass his master.

Think of this.

Ma Dashuai could no longer control himself and walked towards Zhang Lingfeng.

"Is Master going to deal with Zhang Lingfeng?"

Wu Xiaomei thought to herself.

Her forging table was at the very front.

The divine weapon she is forging today is a flying sword.

After attaining godhood, her level three forging skills were finally able to be effectively utilized, resulting in a significant increase in both forging speed and quality.

Families have already come to her to order divine weapons and have specifically requested her to personally forge them.

At this moment, the flying sword had already taken shape.

She couldn't help but turn around and glance at Zhang Lingfeng.

It was fine if I didn't look, but once I did, I couldn't take my eyes off it. My expression froze, and I even forgot that I was still forging a flying sword.

This caused problems with the release of the divine soul, as well as with the nascent form of the flying sword. The internal energy storage and energy-enhancing spatial system also became distorted.

Although it is still a powerful weapon.

However, the level is like that of a level 2 blacksmith.

But she was completely unaware of her own problem.

Instead, he kept his eyes fixed on Zhang Lingfeng.

At this moment, Zhang Lingfeng unleashed his divine power, channeling his divine soul into the refining materials.

His strength as an eighth-level true god and his skill as a second-level blacksmith were on full display. Although the divine weapon he forged was just a small throwing knife, it was extremely dazzling in the arena.

It's as if this little throwing knife has absorbed the essence of the sun and moon.

The divine power that can be injected is equivalent to the power of a level-one god, and the power released will be even stronger than that of many level-one gods.

It could even severely injure some powerful deities.

It was that second-level forging skill that transformed an ordinary refining material into a legendary and exceptionally terrifying existence in his hands.

"Buzz!"

Zhang Lingfeng was immersed in forging his skills.

Watching the small throwing knife flash with dazzling light, Zhang Lingfeng, the blacksmith who forged it, also felt a sense of accomplishment.

"This throwing knife should be enough to deal with an ordinary god-level expert, at least it should be able to break through their defenses."

Zhang Lingfeng thought to himself.

"Your skills?"

Chen Fenfang and Ma Dashuai came to Zhang Lingfeng's side together.

The other two invited Divine Inscription Masters also came along.

Zhang Lingfeng's divine body level and forging skills were not outstanding among this group of blacksmiths, but he had the advantage of being young and had only recently joined the Divine Craftsman Shop.

It seems like I just became a Level 1 Blacksmith not long ago.

Unexpectedly, he became a level-two blacksmith in the blink of an eye, which made people look at him with new respect.

"It's him!"

The sect leader of the Divine Blade Sect's expression changed slightly.

He was fully aware of the fact that Zhang Lingfeng came from the Ou family's tenement, and that his subordinate Xiao Ba had offended someone and been executed by Master Liu.

Although compensation was subsequently paid to the Ou family.

But he still felt uncomfortable. If it were because the other party was a blacksmith from the Divine Craftsman Shop and the leader of the Divine Blade Sect, he would not easily bow down.

Now I see Zhang Lingfeng has become a level two blacksmith.

The Divine Blade Sect Master's eyes nearly popped out as he began to consider whether to offer the Ou family or Zhang Lingfeng some further compensation.

"We have recently made a breakthrough by chance."

Zhang Lingfeng explained.

"Level 2 forging technique".

"Zhang Lingfeng has become a Level 2 Blacksmith."

"His divine body has also become stronger."

"How did he do that?"

……

Everyone was instantly captivated, and those who knew him couldn't help but discuss it.

"Master Zhang, you have given us all a series of wonderful surprises."

Ma Fei said excitedly.

Furthermore, a contract had already been signed with Zhang Lingfeng; otherwise, if Zhang Lingfeng went to another shop, it would be a significant loss for both the Ma family and the Divine Craftsman Shop.

Thinking of the Ma family, who originally planned to drive Zhang Lingfeng away today, Ma Fei couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"You... have been practicing and honing your skills all this time?"

General Ma said with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

"Yes, Mr. Ma."

Zhang Lingfeng nodded.

In front of so many people, he didn't want to anger Commander Ma. Besides, he had made such great progress that if he said he didn't need to cultivate at all, everyone would probably feel insulted.

Upon hearing this, Commander Ma took a deep breath, grabbed Zhang Lingfeng's shoulder, and said, "Well done! From now on, you stay at the Divine Craftsman's Shop and cultivate diligently. If you need any help, just let me know..."

"what!"

Suddenly, a scream interrupted Ma Dashuai's voice and startled everyone.
