In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Huo Yuhao pushed open the door to the large conference room on the first floor of the Foreign Languages ​​Department's office building and saw... Tang Wulin, Shen Yi, Ning Peiya, Yang Nianxia, ​​and a boy he had never seen before.

Apart from Tang Wulin, everyone else's expressions showed a degree of impatience.

Ning Peiya said sarcastically, "Oh, Huo Yuhao, you're putting on quite a show. Do you think you're irreplaceable, so you're deliberately acting like a big shot and making us wait for you?"

"Miss Yun, it's my fault for keeping you waiting."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao stepped forward and gave a slight bow in Ning Peiya's direction.

You can't hit someone who's smiling. No matter how right Ning Peiya is, if she continues to be aggressive after Huo Yuhao has already backed down, she'll inevitably be seen as spoiled and willful in front of others.

After what happened, Ning Peiya couldn't possibly show Huo Yuhao a friendly face. Helpless, she could only turn her head to the side and stop paying attention to Huo Yuhao.

Fortunately, Shen Yi had some sense. He quickly stood up, waved to the five students, and said, "Alright, now that everyone is here, let's go to the Forging Association. Let's not keep our colleagues from the Star Luo Royal Academy waiting."

And so, led by Shen Yi, the five of them arrived at the Forging Association in Shrek Inner City, where they met five burly blacksmiths from Star Luo Royal Academy in a workshop on the top floor.

There's not much to say about the exchange match; it's not a formal competition. Shen Yi told the five of them on the way here not to take it too seriously and to give Xingluo Royal Academy some face.

Ultimately... this exchange match ended with Star Luo Royal Academy suffering a narrow defeat.

After the competition, Ning Peiya, accompanied by Huo Yuhao, Tang Wulin, Yang Nianxia, ​​and Long Xinyu, invited five blacksmith representatives from the Star Luo Royal Academy to a banquet.

On the way to the Poseidon Grand Hotel, one of the blacksmith representatives from the Star Luo Royal Academy looked at Ning Peiya with eyes full of admiration. "Miss Yun, you are truly amazing! As a woman, you have managed to surpass thousands of male blacksmiths. How can I possibly praise you enough?"

"There's nothing to brag about," Ning Peiya said calmly. "We're all Soul Masters. Perhaps due to our physical structure... male Soul Masters have an advantage over female Soul Masters in terms of strength, but... humph, these things aren't absolute."

"Compared to male Soul Masters of the same level, what disadvantages do Poseidon from the Sea God era, Ye Xishui from the Spirit Ice Douluo era, and Long Yeyue, the Light and Dark Douluo of our era, have?"

"No, neither. After reaching the Title Douluo level, the power of male and female Soul Masters is almost equal. It's just that female Soul Masters will focus on maintaining their bodies and will not allow themselves to develop into muscular women."

"The entire Soul Master world is prejudiced against female Soul Masters, simply believing that they are too delicate and weak to do such rough work... Five friends from the Star Luo Royal Academy, I ask you, setting aside strength and some skills, is the profession of blacksmithing... really as difficult to enter as rumored?"

This question lingered in the minds of the five blacksmith representatives from the Star Luo Royal Academy. Others might be confused about this, but they... saw a living example. That's right, it was the chief enshrined of the Star Luo Empire—God Realm Douluo Enci.

In just three years, a God Realm Douluo transformed from a blacksmithing idiot into an eight-star Saint Craftsman. He also raised his three secondary professions of mecha manufacturing, design, and repair to level eight, and created a set of three-word battle armor with the highest compatibility for himself.

Is God Realm Douluo Enci a forging genius?

No, describing him as a forging genius is not appropriate. If Enci were a forging genius, why hasn't he even tried Heaven Forging once in all these years?

They didn't want to admit it, but the facts were right in front of them, forcing them to admit that... the forging industry wasn't as difficult to get into as rumored.

Take an ordinary female support-type Soul Master as an example... Her strength may not be as good as that of a male Soul Master of the same level, but compared with a blacksmith who only has three or four ring cultivation, would she still be at a disadvantage?

Even if she can't break through to the Saint Craftsman level, as a second-best option, can't she even break through to the Grandmaster Craftsman level?

The five blacksmiths from the Star Luo Continent then realized the problem: the blacksmithing industry was not as difficult to enter as they had imagined, nor as high-end as they had thought.

Thinking of this, the blacksmith who had just praised Ning Peiya spoke again, "Miss Yun... after saying so much, do you intend to fully promote blacksmithing within Shrek Academy, making it a side job for all Shrek Academy students?"

"I do have that idea." Ning Peiya nodded and said frankly, "Since the forging industry isn't as difficult to get into as people think, why can't everyone learn forging? Maybe one day we'll find a master craftsman among the sands."

Upon hearing this, all nine people fell silent.

They did not doubt the power of Ning Peiya's words. As Yun Ming and Ya Li's adopted daughter, she couldn't possibly be unable to do such a small thing!

When I woke up, the sky was about to fall in the forging world!

Everyone knows that the forging industry is a highly profitable one. After today, those blacksmiths who have made their fortunes through forging will probably go crazy.

……

Ning Peiya's current identity is that of the little princess of the Sea God Pavilion. As a genius female blacksmith, she only needs to show her face in front of the blacksmith representatives of the Star Luo Royal Academy. There is no need for her to eat and drink with those men.

After giving instructions to the manager of the Poseidon Hotel, Ning Peiya returned to Poseidon Island without stopping.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Mommy, can you play with me for a while?"

Ning Peiya grabbed Yali's hands and twisted her body wildly, shamelessly acting coquettishly.

Ya Li couldn't withstand such an offensive. Under Ning Pei Ya's half-pushing and half-yielding, the Holy Spirit Douluo, who had never lifted a finger in the kitchen, came to the makeshift workbench and picked up the forging hammer handed to him by his daughter.

"Mother, do this first, then do this..."

Under Ning Peiya's command, Yali swung the forging hammer in her hand, striking the metal on the workbench again and again.

I must say, watching the metal gradually thin out is actually quite relaxing.

As time went by, the metal on the workbench became as thin as paper and could be used to make mechs.

Ning Peiya picked up the finished product from the cutting board and waved it several times in Yali's direction. "Mother, do you know what level your forging skills have reached?"

"It should only be considered a beginner's level," Yali replied nonchalantly.

Ning Peiya said proudly, "No, Mother, you just completed a thousand-times forging under my guidance." (End of Chapter)
