Douluo Continent: Outwitting the Ceiling of Wisdom - Yuhao Faks His Death for Ten Thousand Years

Chapter 85 The Master Craftsman's Chef

"A genius created by heaven, truly a genius created by heaven—"

After Xiao Hongchen effortlessly completed several challenging Spirit Fusion Forgings, Zhenhua had lost count of how many times he had uttered such heartfelt praise.

Huo Yuhao, standing to the side, couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

This master craftsman, the only one of his kind on the entire continent, has probably used every word of praise he can think of on Xiao Hongchen.

At this moment, Zhenhua was staring intently at the perfect trimetallic alloy with a fusion rate of 97%, which had been forged into a finished product.

His gaze was so intense it seemed to melt you.

As he looked around, he suddenly snapped back to reality, as if he had just realized something crucial. He quickly looked up at Xiao Hongchen, his tone urgent: "Young friend Hongchen—at most, how many types of metal alloys can you currently fuse and forge?"

Xiao Hongchen tilted his head slightly and pondered for a moment before replying calmly, "Hmm—any spirit alloy below the fifth level of fusion should be able to be forged as long as the metals are compatible."

Upon hearing this, Zhenhua's expression froze instantly, replaced by utter disbelief.

this----

Doesn't this already meet the entry requirements for a level six blacksmith?

Not only that—

If he can forge spirit alloys below the fifth level at will, then the only difference between him and a Saint Craftsman is that he can't perform soul forging yet!?

A nine-year-old master craftsman of the six stars.

"Oh my god————"

A surge of unreal joy and happiness welled up in Zhenhua's heart.

With such terrifying forging talent, becoming a master craftsman in one's teens, or even striving to become a god-level craftsman, is not a dream at all!

He took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Hongchen again, his eyes filled with undisguised appreciation and fervor: "Young friend, I dare not exaggerate your talent, but you are absolutely the number one forger in the continent for thousands of years. I have been obsessed with forging all my life and have seen countless geniuses, but I have never seen a prodigy like you."

He paused, his tone becoming extremely solemn: "I am willing to impart all my knowledge and skills to you, and I can also provide you with all the rare ores, top-notch forging facilities and tools you need, hoping that you can go further on the path of forging and steadily strive for the position of Divine Craftsman in the future!"

Xiao Hongchen bowed slightly and said sincerely, "I appreciate Master Zhenhua's kindness—I also very much hope to become your disciple, but I already have Teacher Muchen in Donghai City."

"this----"

Zhenhua frowned instantly, feeling somewhat annoyed.

It was that kid Mu Chen who snatched up this incredible bargain first!

Moreover, if Xiao Hongchen mainly develops in Donghai City, it is indeed inconvenient for him to stay in Tiandou City for a long time and learn from him personally.

However, Zhenhua thought about it again and quickly relaxed his brow.

Xiao Hongchen's talent is so extraordinary that it far surpasses that of ordinary blacksmiths.

Therefore, he probably didn't need to learn forging by following him around every day like a typical closed-door disciple.

With his current forging comprehension and metal control, he has honed his basic forging skills and daily forging techniques.

Having the master craftsman Mu Chen provide guidance is more than enough.

After all, Mu Chen himself is an experienced master craftsman, more than capable of teaching forging knowledge from basic to advanced levels, and can also enable Xiao Hongchen to continue to grow steadily in a small place like Donghai City where he is not easily noticed.

And what about yourself?

He hoped that Xiao Hongchen would one day truly grow to the level of a master craftsman, or even surpass himself.

Instead of spending energy on basic teaching, it's better to be a "nominal teacher".

In this way, we can avoid spending a lot of effort teaching him personally, while still having a legitimate reason to pay attention to his growth, and we can also provide him with forging resources such as rare metals without reservation.

In this way, it will not delay Xiao Hongchen's development, and he can also fulfill his wish of "inheriting the divine craftsman's legacy". It will save him time and effort. Isn't that a perfect thing?

Thinking of this, Zhenhua's troubled expression completely disappeared, replaced by a knowing smile. His gaze towards Xiao Hongchen became even more ardent, and then he spoke his mind.

After Zhenhua finished speaking, Xiao Hongchen naturally understood that the only master craftsman on the continent was very sincere.

He did not refuse again and readily agreed, officially becoming a nominal disciple under Zhenhua.

Although Zhenhua did not require Xiao Hongchen to stay in Tiandou City for a long time and learn from him closely, since he was already here, he still planned to have Xiao Hongchen study under him for a period of time before returning to Donghai City, so that he could pass on more of his best forging techniques.

So, Xiao Hongchen, who had just recognized his teacher, had his free time ruthlessly "confiscated" and could only prepare to bid a reluctant farewell to his three family members.

Of course, Huo Yuhao, Meng Hongchen, and Ye Guyi are not only Xiao Hongchen's closest companions and possess extraordinary talent, but also distinguished guests of Zhenhua today.

Zhenhua showed them no slackness and warmly invited them to a private dining room inside the Blacksmiths Association for lunch.

He also specifically mentioned that he would have the senior chef who usually cooks for him personally prepare a sumptuous meal for them.

Xiao Hongchen, who had been eagerly waiting to have dinner together, couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Zhenhua, what about me?"

Zhenhua said confidently, with a "for your own good" expression: "You finally came to my side, so you should make the most of every minute of your study time! I'll have the cook bring your meals to the forging room, so it won't interfere with your forging studies with me."

Laughing at the World: "————"

And so, after bidding farewell to the pitiful Xiao Hongchen, who was still struggling to learn forging, Huo Yuhao and the other two arrived at a high-class private room in the restaurant of the Tiandou City Forging Masters Association, led by a waiter.

The private room is spacious and elegant, with a view of the association's forging plaza from the window, creating a very quiet and comfortable environment.

After sitting down, Meng Hongchen's eyes sparkled, and she asked with anticipation and curiosity, "Speaking of which, how delicious will the food be, prepared by the master chef who is the personal chef of the divine craftsman?"

"It should taste far better than we imagine," Huo Yuhao said with a slight smile, his tone filled with certainty.

Meng Hongchen and Ye Guyi were unaware of the true background of this master chef, but he knew perfectly well what was going on in his mind.

Soon, just as the waiter poured the three of them some warm Lingxi tea, the door to the private room was gently pushed open.

A middle-aged man in a white chef's uniform walked in. He was tall and straight, with clean and long hands. He had no trace of worldly afflictions, but rather exuded a reserved and composed demeanor.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." The chef bowed slightly, his tone calm, as if he were just an ordinary waiter. "Today, I will be preparing the meal for you."
