Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

Chapter 205 Zhenhua: Why don't you become the master craftsman?

"???"

Zhenhua looked at Yuanbao with a face full of questions.

What do you mean by asking him to guide Su Mo in forging?

Is Yuanbao not prepared to teach her personally?

Under Zhenhua's intense gaze, Yuanbao'er felt guilty and her eyes darted around. "Senior brother, you know how many years it's been since I've touched a hammer!"

"Asking me to instruct Su Mo? Wouldn't that be misleading a promising young man?"

When she took Su Mo as her disciple, she wanted to use the title of "master" to legitimately help Mu Xi and Su Mo.

But now it seems that Mu Xi doesn't need her help at all.

"I see."

Zhenhua looked at Yuanbao'er's guilty look and sighed helplessly, but finally nodded.

Then Zhenhua turned to Su Mo and beckoned to her, "Su Mo, come with me."

Seeing this, Mu Xi quickly got up and followed.

She wouldn't miss the opportunity to have Zhenhua personally teach Su Mo forging.

Not only could she learn a lot of skills from the side, but more importantly, she could also admire Su Mo's handsome profile when he was focused on forging.

Thinking about this, Mu Xi felt a little excited.

Watching Su Mo skillfully tidy up the forging table in Mu Chen's studio, Zhen Hua nodded in satisfaction.

With his master craftsman's eye, he could judge a person's skill simply by observing their habits of arranging tools and brushing away metal shavings.

Su Mo's movements were clean, accurate, and swift, each step perfectly executed, without the slightest hint of a novice's awkwardness.

"These movements don't seem like those of an ordinary apprentice," he thought to himself.

"It should be around level six."

Su Mo didn't even look up, as if she were stating a trivial matter.

"Level six, huh? That's really good, quite impressive—"

Zhenhua was about to praise Su Mo, saying that he "has the same style as me back in the day," when he suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.

wrong!

—Level 6?

Zhenhua snapped back to reality, his eyes widening. "Wait, Su Mo, you just said you're a level six blacksmith?!"

"According to the evaluation standards of the Blacksmiths Association, I should be a Level 6 Blacksmith."

Upon hearing Su Mo's answer, Zhen Hua's breathing visibly paused. "Su Mo, do you know what the requirements are to become a Level 6 Blacksmith?"

"I know!"

Su Mo pursed her lips and said in a relaxed tone, "Isn't the standard for level six simply completing the fusion of six or more bimetals and the fusion of three or more trimetals?"

As Su Mo finished speaking, both Zhen Hua and Mu Xi were so shocked that they were speechless.

The studio was so quiet that you could hear the ticking of the timer on the wall.

After a long while, Mu Xi, having recovered her senses, spoke in a trembling voice, "Junior brother, didn't you say that you initially learned forging only to strengthen your physique?"

Su Mo nodded matter-of-factly, "Yes. Is there any conflict between these two things?"

Mu Xi was completely speechless after Su Mo's question.

She originally thought that it was already outrageous for a monster like Tang Wulin to become a level four blacksmith at the age of ten, but it turned out that Su Mo was two levels higher than Tang Wulin.

For a moment, Mu Xi was so shocked that she began to doubt whether she was even made of steel.

Although Zhenhua was also shocked, he did not show it.

After coughing, Zhenhua said in a serious tone, "Su Mo, since you said your forging skills are around level six, then forge that piece of Golden Water Spirit I just gave you."

"Can!"

Su Mo agreed without even thinking.

"???"

Upon hearing Su Mo's answer, Zhen Hua froze completely.

What does "metal and water complement each other" mean?

That is the most top-tier, most versatile, and most unreasonable of all metals.

The essence of spiritual forging lies in the interplay of metal and water, placing even greater emphasis on mental fortitude than forging techniques.

Many experienced Level 6 blacksmiths' first reaction upon seeing Jinshui Xianghan is that their palms sweat and their legs go weak.

It's not that they're not skilled enough, it's that they're under too much psychological pressure.

After all, this thing is ridiculously expensive.

If you make a mistake, you'll lose everything.

And what about Su Mo?

He agreed without a second thought, as if he were forging not a molten metal but an ordinary lump of iron.

Thinking of this, Zhenhua's lips twitched violently.

However, Zhenhua had to admit that Su Mo's mentality was indeed suited for forging.

Forging requires this kind of calm and composed mindset.

Ignoring Zhenhua's shocked gaze, Su Mo took out his forging hammer and prepared to forge.

The moment Su Mo took out the forging hammer, a powerful life force, almost tangible, suddenly exploded in the workshop, sweeping through the entire studio like a tidal wave.

Zhenhua could clearly feel that every pore on his body was greedily absorbing this immense life force.

"Su Mo, did you add some kind of 'living gold' to this forging hammer?"

Zhenhua lived up to his reputation as a master craftsman, seeing through the secrets of Su Mo's forging hammer at a glance.

"Um!"

Su Mo nodded expressionlessly.

Guided by the spirit of the plane, Su Mo discovered a fist-sized piece of life gold on the Douling Continent and cut off a fingernail-sized piece of life gold from it, which he then fed into his forging hammer.

Su Mo's forging hammer, like Tang Wulin's, is made of sunken silver, and both have stacked hammer effects.

Of course, this is no coincidence.

Because the forging techniques in the Naruto world don't have many requirements for forging hammers.

Therefore, after arriving in Douluo Continent, Su Mo has always used ordinary tungsten steel forging hammers.

Upon seeing Tang Wulin use the stacked hammer effect of the Heavy Silver Forging Hammer, Su Mo immediately followed suit and made one for himself.

In this regard, following Tang Wulin is definitely a good choice.

However, Su Mo was not as lucky as Tang Wulin, who immediately activated the stacked hammer effect.

Su Mo crafted over a thousand thousand-forged silver hammers before finally creating a single silver forging hammer with stacking hammer effects.

"hiss----"

Upon hearing Su Mo's admission, Zhen Hua gasped.

He knew all too well how precious the Gold of Life was, even though he had only forged it once in his entire life.

Of course, given Zhenhua's status, if he insisted on wanting a piece of the Life Gold, it wouldn't be impossible for him to obtain it.

But that would come at a huge cost, and many people would die.

After all, the claws of the Beast God Di Tian are not to be trifled with.

Ignoring Zhenhua's surprise, Su Mo took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and cleared her mind of all distracting thoughts.

When Su Mo opened his eyes again, his expression was more serious and focused than ever before.

Su Mo raised his hand, and the forging hammer fell with a solid force.

That hammer blow was clean and decisive, without any unnecessary movements.

"bite--!"

A crisp, penetrating sound exploded on the workbench, and then, under Zhenhua's bewildered gaze, Su Mo put away his forging hammer.

Su Mo turned to Zhen Hua and said calmly, "Alright!"

"ah----?"

When Zhenhua heard Su Mo say that the forging was over, he was stunned, his mind filled with questions.

Before Zhenhua could voice his doubts, he heard a loud "boom".

A blue-gold beam of light, more than ten feet tall, shot into the sky, illuminating the entire room so brightly that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes.

"Holy shit!"

"One hammer strike to ascend to immortality!!!"

Zhenhua stared blankly at the dazzling blue-gold pillar of light, his mouth agape, wide enough to swallow an egg.

If Zhenhua hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it, not even if you beat him to death.

Zhenhua swallowed hard, feeling that his decades-long career as a master craftsman had been a joke.

At this moment, he really, really wanted to put his hand on Su Mo's shoulder and solemnly say to her, "Su Mo, how about you become the Divine Craftsman? I'll step down and pass the position to you right now!"
