Late at night, Jiang Yi returned to his dormitory.

Long Chen, lying on the bed, looked at him with some surprise.

"You're back so late, what were you doing?" Long Chen asked curiously.

"I went to the library and exchanged some things," Jiang Yi said casually.

Then he grabbed his change of clothes and was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

"By the way, do you know any places near the Academy where I can practice forging?" Jiang Yi suddenly asked, standing in front of the bathroom door.

Long Chen looked puzzled: "Aren't you a mecha designer?"

"A friend of mine just arrived in Mingdu and wants to practice forging," Jiang Yi casually offered as an excuse.

"I see. I'm not a blacksmith either, but I heard there's a blacksmith's workshop near our academy."

"If we go there, there should be someone to teach us forging techniques," Long Chen replied after thinking for a moment.

"Thank you," Jiang Yi said before walking into the bathroom.

After finishing everything, he lay down on the bed, but instead of resting, he took out a book and started reading.

He didn't turn on the light because even at night, he could see the contents of the book clearly with his mental power.

And so, the night passed quickly.

As dawn broke, Jiang Yi put away his books, got up, washed up, and left the dormitory.

Then he left the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy directly.

The entire Mingdu was like a steel forest, with skyscrapers standing side by side, each with its own unique characteristics.

"Long Chen said yesterday that he was nearby, so he should be in the commercial street area. Let's go take a look."

The commercial street is located to the east of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Jiang Yi rarely went to those places before, simply because he didn't have much money to spend.

He usually eats in the cafeteria, since students get discounts; he hasn't bought anything else.

After all, he had saved all his money at that time, intending to buy a suitable spirit.

He walked towards the commercial street to the east, and in the crowded throng, a middle-aged man saw him and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"That kid finally went out."

His figure vanished suddenly, silently following Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi entered the commercial street. Although it was only dawn, the place was already packed with people.

Most people come here to work. Jiang Yi walked along the commercial street and began to look for the forging workshop that Long Chen had mentioned.

Not long after, he stopped in front of a shop.

"Mingyun Forging Studio." These words are written on the shop's signboard.

The document also lists their main business scope, which includes forging instruction.

Having confirmed that this forging workshop could teach forging techniques, Jiang Yi went straight inside.

Forging is something that can't be learned from books alone; you have to experience it firsthand.

As soon as I stepped inside, a young woman who looked like a hostess came up to me.

"Would you like to commission a blacksmith to forge it?" the girl asked in a sweet voice.

Jiang Yi shook his head and said, "No, I'm here to learn forging."

A look of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes, but she quickly said, "I see. If you want to learn forging techniques in our studio, you can attend a trial class first."

"Here is a roster of blacksmiths. Guests can choose a blacksmith and attend a lesson to try it out."

As she spoke, the girl handed him a form with several photos and a lot of text on it.

Upon hearing about this good news, Jiang Yi took the introduction form from her.

Blacksmiths are divided into nine levels: Level 1 and Level 2 are Master level, Level 3 and Level 4 are Grandmaster level, Level 5 and Level 6 are Grandmaster level, Level 7 and Level 8 are Saint level, and the highest level, Level 9, is God level.

This forging workshop, located on the commercial street next to the Sun and Moon Royal Ruby Academy, must have considerable strength.

This introduction sheet actually lists a master-level blacksmith who is already capable of fusion forging.

Being able to perform fusion forging means that the blacksmith has reached level six.

Unfortunately, this master craftsman cannot be selected for the trial class.

"Let's choose this blacksmith, Lin Ming," Jiang Yi finally decided.

This is a level four blacksmith, which means he has mastered the skill of forging thousands of times.

"Okay, please wait here for a moment," the girl said with a smile.

Then, she turned around and walked into the soul-guided elevator, heading directly to the third floor.

Jiang Yi found a seat on the first floor and waited for news from the girl.

About five minutes later, the girl came down from the second floor.

"Esteemed guest, Master Lin Ming is available now. You may go up and attend a trial lesson."

"After you go up to the third floor, the first room on the left is Lin Ming's blacksmith's workshop."

"Thank you." Jiang Yi stood up.

They took the soul-guided elevator directly to the third floor and knocked on the door of the first room on the left.

"Come in," a voice came from inside.

Jiang Yi pushed the door open and walked in. Immediately, a metallic aura hit him.

The room was filled with all sorts of metals and parts, making it look somewhat cluttered.

There was a worktable in the middle, and a middle-aged man, probably around forty years old, was standing next to it.

In fact, he was swinging a forging hammer at a piece of metal.

Jiang Yi stood aside, watching this scene, his eyes shining with golden light as he carefully observed the subtle movements of each of his punches.

After a while, Lin Ming, who was swinging the hammer, stopped.

"You're here for the audition, right? It's rare to see someone your age starting to learn forging."

Lin Ming put down the hammer, glanced at Jiang Yi, and said with some surprise.

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "If you're willing, it might not be too late."

"Forging isn't something you can learn just by being willing to try," Lin Ming said, shaking his head.

"Come here and test if you have the talent to learn forging."

Jiang Yi walked to Lin Ming's side, and Lin Ming handed him a pair of hammers.

"Take these hammers and break this metal 1000 times, 500 times on each side."

Jiang Yi took the hammer and felt it was light and flimsy, with absolutely no weight.

"Let's get two more hammers; these are too light," Jiang Yi said directly.

"Too light?" Lin Ming was somewhat surprised, as both hammers weighed two hundred pounds.

Although surprised, Lin Ming didn't say much since Jiang Yi was a guest, and gave him another pair of forging hammers.

"These are forging hammers made from sunken silver, each weighing four hundred pounds."

Jiang Yi took the heavy silver forging hammer, and this time, he finally nodded.

He then calmed his mind and focused his attention, his eyes shining with golden light as he gazed at the piece of metal placed before him.

He recalled Lin Ming's movements during the forging process.

He began to swing the forging hammer with both hands, continuously pounding the metal.

One hammer falls, and another follows with lightning speed.
