The Hualing Clan was a clan of master forgers. In fact, one of the high elders of the Blacksmith Guild was the clanmaster of the Hualing Clan. They were said to be the most powerful clan that specializes in forging. Since the clan was specializing in this area, the Blacksmith Guild had established a diplomatic relationship with it. Thus, the clan was given a privilege of whoever from the Hualing Clan wanted to enter the guild, they would no longer take the exam and immediately become an Apprentice Forger. But of course, this was not something for free. The clan needed to distribute every forging items like ores to the guild every three months, free of charge.
To add more, the clan had a weak military might. Thus, as the harmonious relationship stood there, the Blacksmith Guild will provide protection as the backer of the Hualing Clan. For some forging ores, this was not a bad deal and in fact, they still gained more. So, the clan was revered and feared by many and no one even those from first-rate sects, dared to provoke them unless it was the last resort. After all, the Blacksmith Guild, although specialized in forging, had a terrifying and mysterious might.
"Don't sweat it. I just wanted to experience the feeling of taking the exam. Since I already started it, I wanted to take the armament forging also. I would like to test my new forging skill that was thought to me by my grandfather." Jumong Hualing said in a very proud manner as if he was one of the heavenly-blessed children of this world. Of course, he had the ability to be like this, thus, this was understandable.
"If that is what you wish then." Selestine did not force Jumong Hualing to withdraw. In fact, she was now expecting something interesting as a genius from the Hualing Clan emerged out of this examination. She was definitely looking forward to the armament forging. She then added, "Okay, next." She called out whoever wanted to be next.
Miyu Dong, the black-cloaked young lady, glanced at Jin Rou and said, "Why don't you go?"
Jin Rou gave her a glance, "Why don't you go instead? I wanted to be the last." This was really true. He wanted to be the last to perform. After all, he did not know what would happen if he was not the last.
Miyu Dong was a bit surprised to hear this. She already knew that this man had seen her real appearance. But for some unknown reason, he was so calm as if her appearance did not mind at all. As she was from a powerful powerhouse and was dubbed as the prettiest maiden, she was sure that she was a beauty. But this man was not even affected in the slightest. What was this? However, she immediately brushed it off and said, "Alright, I will be next."
She came forward and touch the ball. After which, it glowed brighter than the previous! After a few seconds, the ball immediately showed numbers that terrified Selestine.
"What the..." Jumong Hualing, who was proud a while ago, now had a paled expression as he saw the numbers shown by the ball.
"10.0?!" Selestine exclaimed, after relieving herself from her throat being stuck. She did not expect that she would see the legendary numbers that only two people had managed to do so! A terrifying 10.0 forging potential! What does it mean? It meant that this mysterious black-cloaked had a 10% success rate! And what does it mean to have this success rate? It meant that she was already qualified to be a 1-star master forger! This meant that there would be no negotiations, she would immediately jump up to 1-star master forger! She knew that this mysterious black-cloak was not yet a master forger. After all, if the black-cloak was really one, the ball would not react. After all, it was only meant for aspiring master forgers and it was restricted to it.
Miyu Dong already expected this. After all, she prepared herself just for this examination. She knew she was a genius herself and was not in any way lacking. As a world-toppling beauty, she had a great confidence to herself.
"What is your name?" After recovering from shock, she asked this question. This mysterious black-cloak really terrified to her even as a 4-star master forger. When she took the exam for apprentice, she only managed to reach 8.7 forging potential even after years of working so hard and took more than a year before advancing to a 1-star master forger. If in her case, she was already called a genius, what's more for someone who reached the perfect 10.0? That's unbelievable in the slightest! But at the same time, she was also very elated. To actually witness the birth of an ultimate genius that even trampled Jumong Hualing? That was such a sight!
"No need to know my name. I wanted to keep my identity hidden." Even though she told Jin Rou her name, it was because he already has seen through her so it was not a good choice to hide more, so she told him that. But in the case of others, she will never tell them. After all, once they recognized who she really was, it would cause a major uproar.
"Oh... is that so?" Selestine did not push the matter further and said with a joyful expression, "If that is what you wish then. After this exam, please come with me to receive your badge as a 1-star master forger since you already reached 10% success rate. You don't need to participate in the final examination anymore." If the other party did not want to have their identity revealed, then the guild had no choice but to let it be. After all, there were also people in the guild that were keeping their identities even until now.
"Thank you." Miyu Dong said shortly. After which, she immediately went back to her previous position and glanced at Jin Rou, "Your turn."
Jin Rou smiled wryly, he was not impressed, but he did not dare to reveal it. He looked at the ball and began walking towards it.
