Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 65 Apprenticeship
"Yes, Master Craftsman." The reviewer responded respectfully, then turned and walked out the door.

Zhenhua looked at Lin Xingyu carefully, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became. Looking at his energy and blood, and then looking at his appearance, especially his pair of red-gold eyes, Zhenhua liked him more and more. When the other party's talent in forging is high enough, no matter what he looks like, he will be the most beautiful in his mind.

"Master Master Craftsman, what do you want to talk to me about?" Although he had roughly guessed the other party's intention, Lin Xingyu still spoke first in the end.

Zhenhua smiled, showing his kindest side and said, "Little friend, what's your name?"

Since becoming a master craftsman, he no longer has to care about the faces of most people in the world. He just needs to do his best. Today, he took out the expression management that he had dormant for many years to give a good impression to the little guy in front of him.

"Master Master Craftsman, my name is Lin Xingyu."

Zhenhua smiled and said, "Xingyu, how old are you this year? Who did you learn the forging skills from? Can you tell me about it? Have you become a disciple?"

"I am nine and a half years old now. I learned the forging skills from Mr. Yun Qiwen, a sixth-level blacksmith, in Donghai City. He is my teacher, and I don't have a disciple." Lin Xingyu answered his question neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Zhenhua felt relieved when he heard Lin Xingyu's answer. Teacher and master are two different concepts. When he heard that the little guy opposite him was only nine and a half years old, he became even more excited.

In the end, Zhenhua and Lin Xingyu became happier and happier as they talked.

"It's noon now. You've done so many forgings in the morning and must be tired. If you don't mind, come to my house for a meal. I will teach you some forging skills in the afternoon. You should know my identity. In Douluo Continent, no one is more proficient in forging than me." After chatting for a while, Zhenhua extended an invitation to Lin Xingyu.

"I don't mind, I don't mind. Thank you very much, Master Craftsman!" Lin Xingyu said excitedly.

At Zhenhua's residence, Lin Xingyu enjoyed a feast truly culinary. Each dish, prepared by top-tier chef Muye, was a perfect blend of flavor and nutrition. The deliciousness and nutritional value of this feast far surpassed anything Lin Xingyu had tasted since setting foot on Douluo Continent.

After seeing Lin Xingyu's appetite, Zhenhua asked Muye to prepare two more dishes to replenish his qi, blood and soul power.

During the meal, Zhenhua took care of Lin Xingyu like a caring parent, taking care of every aspect of his life.

After Zhenhua learned about Lin Xingyu's family background and his current situation, he became even happier. He came from a small family and did not have too many karmic entanglements. He had already joined the Temple of War God, but it did not matter. This was a federal organization and did not have much impact on his personal values.

At the same time, a feeling of pity arose in his heart. It was not easy for the little guy to insist on living alone and run from Donghai City to Mingdu and then to Tiandou City by himself.

After hearing about Lin Xingyu's cultivation and secondary occupation level, he was amazed and kept praising Lin Xingyu. It can be said that he said all the good things he had said in the past year.

After lunch, Zhenhua took Lin Xingyu to a forging room.

"Xingyu, come and try forging first, let me see your level." Zhenhua spoke first.

"Yes!"

After Lin Xingyu responded, he took out his forging hammer from the storage soul guide, and then randomly picked up a piece of metal called silver moonstone.

After adjusting his own state, he directly entered the state of "high-dimensional vision" and carefully observed the internal structure and spirituality of this piece of metal.

After Lin Xingyu entered the "high-dimensional vision" state, its range was based on his own perception. As his own strength increased, his perception became more and more acute, and the range he observed after entering the "high-dimensional vision" became wider and wider.

As he focused his attention, the patterns and spirituality inside the metal were clearly revealed to his eyes.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
As Lin Xingyu brought down hammer after hammer, the blood in his body circulated involuntarily, the structure of the silver moonstone in front of him kept changing, and the spirituality of this piece of metal became more and more active in Lin Xingyu's eyes.

The powerful Qi and blood power in his body made Zhenhua involuntarily take a second look. This little guy has a good physique! He is simply a good seedling born to be forged.

Zhenhua is 42 years old this year. At the age of 37, he entered the realm of the Divine Craftsman and became a Titled Douluo. For a Titled Douluo, this age should be the prime of youth, but he already looks like a middle-aged man with a head full of white hair. This is after he has been consuming various rare treasures for many years!
The divine craftsman's heavenly forging is a process that consumes a lot of one's own soul power. If the soul power is insufficient, it must be supplemented with the power of qi and blood, or even with one's own vitality!

In Zhenhua's view, forging is the process of constantly giving life to metal. The consumption of Tianduan is even more terrifying. Tianduan metal is about to become a real life. The spirituality of Tianduan metal is no less than that of humans!
when!
Twenty minutes later, as Lin Xingyu's final hammer fell, a piece of nearly perfect Thousand Forged Metal appeared in front of him. Thousand Forged First Grade! The spiritual power was even ready for spiritual forging!
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

"Xingyu, you did a great job. You even seem to have developed your own style. Although some movements are redundant, every hammer falls where it should fall!" After seeing Lin Xingyu complete the Thousand Forgings, Zhenhua stepped forward to take a look at the metal and began to praise him directly.

"Master Master Craftsman, this is due to some of the talents brought by my own martial spirit. I can easily feel the internal spirituality of the metal, so every forging is so accurate." Lin Xingyu directly revealed some of his own background.

Hearing Lin Xingyu's answer, Zhenhua was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Being able to sense the spirituality within metal is also your ability. In history, there have been many spiritual masters who can also sense the spirituality of metal, but even so, they will never be as good as you in forging. Sensing the spirituality within metal only makes forging metal a little easier. The rest still requires your own hard work and learning. You need to have natural talent."

"You can perform so well. I can tell you've practiced a lot. You must be quite talented."

"You're too kind!" Lin Xingyu said modestly.

For the rest of the afternoon, Zhenhua taught Lin Xingyu all kinds of exquisite forging techniques without reservation and tirelessly.

In the evening, as Muye brought out the dishes one by one, Lin Xingyu immediately started drooling. The food Muye cooked was better than anything he had eaten anywhere else.

Following Zhenhua's signal, Lin Xingyu started to eat voraciously. After he was full, Lin Xingyu used his own Qi and blood to speed up the absorption of food.

"what!"

On the other side, Muye looked over in surprise as he watched Lin Xingyu using his own Qi and blood power. He didn't expect that apart from the people from the Body Sect, there was someone else who was so proficient in Qi and blood power.

This technique of manipulating one's own Qi and blood to accelerate the absorption of food and strengthen one's Qi and blood looks good. It is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Xingyu, did you figure out your method of transferring Qi and blood by yourself or did you learn it from others?" Muye asked curiously. As Zhenhua's chef and part-time bodyguard, he had already seen Lin Xingyu's martial soul, Chijin, in the afternoon. Although he was surprised that his martial soul could amplify his own Qi and blood, this skill of finely manipulating his own Qi and blood was not something that a martial soul could bring.

"I learned it from someone," Lin Xingyu said honestly. "Yes, can you let me meet the person who taught you this Qi and Blood Power? I also have a good understanding of Qi and Blood Power," Muye said.

"I'm afraid not. He and we are no longer in the same world. I think I'm the only one in this world who knows how to circulate Qi and blood."

Hearing Lin Xingyu say that the other party had passed away, Muye suddenly felt a little regretful. There were not many people who played with the power of qi and blood on Douluo Continent. It was rare to meet a fellow traveler, but the other party died early. However, when he heard that Lin Xingyu was the only one left, Muye's eyes suddenly flickered.

Although Lin Xingyu's martial soul is not his original martial soul, he is quite good at using the energy and blood in his body. In addition, his original sect has declined so much. Thinking of this, Muye was a little hesitant. Should he make an exception and bring in people with other martial souls?

The Body Sect is all about the power of Qi and blood. It's rare to come across someone who has cultivated Qi and blood quite well, so it would be a waste not to bring him in.

Forget it, I'll just train him myself first. Zhenhua has already taken a fancy to this kid, and there will be plenty of time to get in touch with him in the future.

After Meimei had dinner, Zhenhua's expression suddenly became serious.

He had someone investigate Lin Xingyu's basic situation, and the results were clear. There weren't any major issues, and his background was spotless. He was a core member that any organization would recruit. Therefore, he decided to be forthright and honest.

"Xingyu, I believe you have already seen that you are very talented. It is difficult for your previous teacher to teach you anything. Besides, he is your teacher, not your master. If you are willing, you can come to me and be my disciple! I want to accept you as my apprentice. Are you willing to be my disciple?" Zhenhua straightened his body slightly, and the expression on his face instantly became extremely solemn, with unquestionable seriousness in his eyes. He spoke in a steady and solemn tone.

Lin Xingyu took a deep breath and said, "Xingyu is willing!"

"Okay!" Zhenhua laughed loudly.

Zhenhua's eyes were calm. After carefully surveying the area, he chose a seat and sat down slowly with a certain solemnity. Lin Xingyu stood upright, his face full of respect. He straightened his clothes respectfully and solemnly performed the standard apprenticeship ceremony towards Zhenhua. Zhenhua nodded slightly, accepting the gift calmly.

Lin Xingyu became his first master in Douluo Continent. From then on, he became a person with a background in Douluo Continent.

After asking about Lin Xingyu's family and life, and learning about his future plans, Zhenhua said, "Since it's okay for you to go back, why don't you come to my place every holiday? The training environment here will definitely be much better than in Donghai City."

After learning about Lin Xingyu's family situation, knowing that his mother was missing, his father had another family, and he lived alone, Zhenhua felt a little happy in his heart, although he felt it was wrong. Zhenhua had never married because of his early life, and naturally had no children.

The relationship between a master and his apprentice is sometimes even closer than that between parents. The bloodline is passed down between father and son, while the spiritual lineage is passed down between a master and his apprentice.

Mu Ye's disciple A Ruheng was raised by him since he was a child. Although they were master and disciple, they were closer than parents.

"Okay, teacher!" Lin Xingyu naturally agreed to Zhenhua's request.

"Get up at 5:40 tomorrow and do morning exercises with me."

"it is good!"

After Zhenhua finished speaking, he began to arrange Lin Xingyu's future daily life with satisfaction.

Lin Xingyu came to the room assigned to him, took out the communication soul guide, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to call the old housekeeper, telling him that he would stay in Tiandou City to practice for the next month, and asked him to tell his father the news by the way, not to worry about him, and then they wished each other well.

Then he took out his soul guide and sent a message to Duanmu Yan, "Everything went well."

Duanmu Yan immediately replied, "Congratulations!"

……

The next morning, Lin Xingyu got up early and began to exercise his qi and blood.

Seeing the surging energy and blood in Lin Xing's body, Muye wanted to pull Lin Xingyu into his body even more.

After breakfast, Lin Xingyu followed Zhenhua to the forging room.

"Although you have a good foundation, there is still a lot to learn and improve. You haven't practiced Spiritual Forging yet, which is a good choice. You are still young, so if you want to practice Spiritual Forging, you can wait a few years. It is best to wait until you reach the Soul Sect level and it is absolutely safe before trying it. Forging at a high level is a very energy-consuming task."

"I've also helped you hide your Blacksmith Association assessment level. Unless those top experts come to check you out, ordinary people won't be able to find out your situation. But we're just trying to guard against those who don't know the seriousness of the matter. Sometimes being too outstanding isn't a good thing."

"You can tell me if you need anything next. It's not difficult for me to train someone like you."

For the next month, I spent every day here learning forging with Zhenhua.

Starting from the forging techniques, Zhenhua taught Lin Xingyu the forging skills step by step.

During this period, because of Lin Xingyu's strong qi and blood, Muye kept making various dishes to replenish Lin Xingyu's qi and blood.

He even gave Lin Xingyu some Qi and blood pills every day.

However, when Lin Xingyu looked at the Qi and Blood Pill in his hand, his expression was indescribable for a moment. The pill was a good one, but the method used to make it was a bit too rough. It was simply a combination of various precious medicines to make the pill.

Finally, Lin Xingyu made up his mind and taught Muye the Nine Dragons Potion that he had learned in his previous world. He said that it was a potion that he had learned from others and matched with the Qi and blood cultivation method. Muye was moved directly, so Lin Xingyu got the Nine Dragons Potion and Nine Dragons Pill prepared by Muye half a month later.

This also made Makino determined to bring Lin Xingyu to the Benti Sect, so that they could be a family in the future.
