122 What Happened?

Jin Rou was thinking twice whether to touch the ball or not. After all, he did not know what would happen if he does so. He wanted to suppress his forging potential but he did not know how. When he was seven, he tried forging a Quasi-True God Armament. And it terrifyingly succeeded which petrified even her parents! The Quasi-True God Armament was also a high-grade one that could push its power to the maximum of 90%! Although it was only a Quasi-True God Armament, it was crazed by the people when they knew it was personally forged by the young master of the Rou Celestial Family! To add more, the battle for the armament almost broke the Rou Realm since everyone wanted to have it.

Every time he did something, it would gather attention, that's why he was thinking twice right now. But it was useless now, all he could do was muster up his courage and pray tell it would not cause a commotion

"What's the matter? Any problem?" Selestine asked, seeing that Jin Rou was just looking at the ball. Miyu Dong was also confused as to why.

"Ah, nothing." Jin Rou smiled wryly, "Whatever, let's just do this and get over with." Since he needed to gather badges of all the jobs, this was inevitable. And so, he touched the ball.

Four seconds passed, the ball had not yet reacted. This left everyone confused.

"Why the ball did not react?" Selestine was confused, "Perhaps he has no forging potential?"

Seeing this, Miyu Dong almost sneered. It seemed that she did not need to be wary of this guy anymore.

Jin Rou was relieved to see that there was nothing happened. However, little did he know that he just raised a flag. As he was about to turn back happily...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The ball glowed and shook violently for a moment as if a considerable amount of power was trying to get out of the ball! Soon, it exploded leaving a loud noise that stupefied everyone in this sight. And the most affected one was, of course, Jin Rou.

"What what... ?!" Jin Rou did not believe what he was seeing. Why would be the ball explode?! He was just happy a while ago that it did not react, but who would have thought that it will react right after? And a violent reaction at that!

This also stupefied Miyu Dong. She did not know what happened or what's going on anymore. All she knew that that man named Jin Rou caused it.

"What did you do to the ball?" After recovering from her shock, she asked Jin Rou, "What happened?" She could not believe that their treasured forging potential ball exploded just like that. What's more, it was created by the first ancestor of the guild. The first ancestor himself declared and claimed that this ball was impregnable, impossible to break even one tried to use his most powerful skill. But what situation was this? It actually broke and exploded!

"I just touched the ball to know my forging potential, that's all?" Jin Rou said awkwardly. He also did not know what happened so it was useless asking him that.

"Then why did you it explode?" This time, Selestine was showing a bit of hostility, "If that's just that, it should not react that way, right?"

"I, too, don't know what happened." Jin Rou shook his head. Maybe his potential was just too high that the ball could not determine it?

"You!" Selestine was almost fuming in anger, but she was holding it back. That armament was a real Emperor Armament that personally forged by the first, and now, it was gone like a bubble popped. She breathed in and out to calm herself, "Alright. Stay here. I will report this to my superiors. Don't do anything funny or else..." She threatened Jin Rou.

Jin Rou was not intimidated by this, of course. But he still nodded. After which, Selestine left the room.

"What happened back there?" Miyu Dong initiated a conversation, she was curious about it.

"Just like I said, I don't know." Jin Rou shook his head.

"You did it but you don't know it? Are you dumb or something?" Miyu Dong rolled her eyes, ending the conversation.

But she had already a possible reason why this did happen. And it was the forging potential of Jin Rou was unmeasurable by the ball. The way it reacted and exploded indicated it. For her, it was the possibility with the highest chance. After all, that ball boasted its unbreakable ability that no matter how many powerful attacks attack it, it would not even leave a scratch to it. It was just like an ancient stone that survived countless calamities.

But even with this possibility, she found it so difficult to believe. After all, there was no person that was recorded who had a higher than 10.0 forging potential.

"Or maybe he was blessed by the Gods?" She muttered to herself. If this was the case, then it would be feasible and more believable.

"Congratulations on becoming a 1-star master forger." Jin Rou broke the awkward silence between them, offering his congratulations. He just wanted to say something to strike a talk with her.

"Should I thank you?" Miyu Dong shot a glance at him.

"Well, no need, I guess?" Jin Rou smiled wryly.

Miyu Dong did not bother to respond again and turned away her eyes.

It was too difficult to talk with this kind of person huh... He muttered. If she was a gentle as Yuna or Ran, it would be nice. But of course, he's not yet given up on recruiting this girl. Although she had an attitude, she had the right to do so.

Half an hour passed.

This awkward atmosphere was getting on Jin Rou's skin for some unknown reason. He was about to strike another conversation when the door that was shut open in an imposing manner. Two figures appeared. One was Selestine, and the other one was an old man with long black hair up to his waist.

On his chest was badge of the Blacksmith Guild, above it was 6-stars...

A 6-star master forger!
