Smiling, Chui Yim went to collect his ingredients. The forging segment was sponsored by the Blacksmith Academy, the institution supported by the world’s richest man, Chau Tai Fu, who cared most about his pride. He had prepared the most expensive ingredients, not caring about their practical effects. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAXSdJvvn5No
Chui Yim lamented at the sight. He only got ten thousand taels after pooling with Kam Chin-Kee, Chau Cheung and Choh Hang San. Yet, ten thousand taels weren’t near enough to purchase the ingredients before him… Thus, he started picking out all the expensive items, acting like a buyer in a fish market, shocking everybody, even Chau Tai Fu.724Please respect copyright.PENANAxRPoMVt7av
After a long time, Chui Yim returned to his workbench with his extravagant collection of ingredients, throwing them onto the ground like rubbish before starting his refining.
Even Chau Tai Fu trembled at the sight. All of those ingredients were worth money! But at the same time, he was surprised that Chui Yim could use such high-quality ingredients as not everybody could.
The higher an ingredient’s quality, the harder it was to utilise.724Please respect copyright.PENANA19nPgrM6lu
Currently, he watched Chui Yim dump the metals and refine them together, which was something only blacksmiths with a complete understanding of their ingredients could do. Chau Tai Fu didn’t know that Chui Yim had started researching this world’s minerals from young, finishing his “World’s Mineral Field Guide”, which helped him become extremely knowledgeable in his field.724Please respect copyright.PENANA1is0y1OWBk
As the metals fused, their aura became increasingly weird. The more powerful the ingredients were, the more powerful the natural gliph they contained could be. Chui Yim’s forceful refining was too much for the bench.724Please respect copyright.PENANAcUAr5RSqWa
“The temperature isn’t hot enough…” Chui Yim wore a serious expression as he mumbled. He put the huge metal piece he had forged into the bench carefully.724Please respect copyright.PENANAUFjLipYl7c
Szz! The temperature around him rose in an instant. Chui Yim stared at the stove closely as the metal he melted surged forward to shroud the metal piece on all sides as if it was attracted.

Chai Fook Sau and Yau Suet Chung reached the last stage of forging simultaneously. Chui Yim was right, Chai Fook Sau’s product was a spear, and he was almost done.724Please respect copyright.PENANAA89yHfswTZ
The spear was sharp, with red, green and blue colours along its blade. A strong, sharp aura could be felt, and Chai Fook Sau was confident. He poured the contents of his last bottle onto the spear, a green flame quickly igniting the entire spear. But surprisingly, there was no burning temperature.724Please respect copyright.PENANAJgpWwXtoTE
After being burnt by the green flame, the spear looked like it was made of jade with red, green and blue tricolour gliphs along it. If the crowd did not witness it themselves, it would be difficult to believe that the spear was born from a huge tree.724Please respect copyright.PENANAZSWZKlxJOl
As for Yau Suet Chung, he finished carving a gliph on his glacier bench. With a loud yell, he pulled his hand out from the well-like glacier bench!724Please respect copyright.PENANAW5K5Rjafln
The low temperature could be felt throughout the arena, and a long, blue knife was in his hands. The knife was enchantingly clear, as if it was made of ice! On the back of the knife were three ice hoops that created the sound of ice when waved; with the knife in his hands, Yau Suet Chung looked extremely proud.724Please respect copyright.PENANAjUgXDU9TiV
He was confident that this was the best work he could forge now, and both he and Chai Fook Sau were just a step away from the great master stage. Moreover, they were disciples of renowned elites in this field, making them the best out of all their peers.724Please respect copyright.PENANAMAhoan8SZU
However, a furious temperature fell over the crowd once they finished.
724Please respect copyright.PENANARDioB4VAHN
Chui Yim stared at the stove in front of him unhappily and helplessly. If he was making a normal item, it wouldn’t matter, but the temperature mattered when forging an actual creation. As a great master in fire-forging who had once forged a divine weapon, he knew a widely used method that could forge all kinds of weapons, but there were many restrictions to this method too.724Please respect copyright.PENANAogJLfRtfpK
The fire’s temperature was one such requirement. In his past life, the high temperature from the earth core’s flame was an important factor in his success!724Please respect copyright.PENANA37QvMwmqkk
Feeling that the heat from the stove was obviously inadequate, Chui Yim silently drew a mark with his fingers and pointed at the stove. “First level fire mark!”724Please respect copyright.PENANA8wCDpHlGs1
The Nine Levels of Fire Mark was a skill taught to him by his forging master!724Please respect copyright.PENANAdvwZYguJgV
Seeing a gliph congeal in front of him, he grew excited and performed the Nine Levels of Fire Mark using gliphism! The fire mark landed in the stove, causing heatwaves to suddenly spread throughout the arena!724Please respect copyright.PENANAw7trtKUSqa
Fung Seung’s face fell, while Sze Fung had already stood up. With a wave, he dispersed the surrounding flames that would affect the spectators. His actions made all the elites of his standing solemn, like Old Star Reacher and Grandma Chin Shu. They realised that Sze Fung had improved once more.

Chui Yim was focused on his work and did not realise what was happening. There were myriad changes taking place to the metal piece once again, and it was now extremely colourful. Honestly, it looked extremely weird. Knowing that it was time, Chui Yim picked up the tongs at his side and picked up the metal piece.724Please respect copyright.PENANASGfr28nZxq
Szzz…The tongs melted the second Chui Yim touched it, but Chui Yim didn’t care as he had achieved his aim of picking the item to hammer at it.724Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4tPiGW6aW
Szzz…724Please respect copyright.PENANAycyY6sf1Vq
This time around, a soft sizzling sound was heard from…his head! His head was smocking, but since there was smoke all over the place already due to the heat waves, nobody noticed the changes taking place to him, not even Chui Yim himself!724Please respect copyright.PENANArlUvhADsBk
Ding ding ding!724Please respect copyright.PENANAEw49XMGSub
As he forged, more white smoke emanated from the metal piece increased and turned his surroundings foggy, It was impossible to see anything from afar, and only the thunder-like hammering sounds could be heard! This silenced the crowd, and those who didn’t know who was inside would have assumed it was a grandmaster forging!724Please respect copyright.PENANAopwn8kDpwI
Within the fog, Chui Yim was focused on the metal piece as he felt the changes taking place. Under his precise hands, the metal piece turned from an ugly duckling into the shape of a diamond. If one were to observe closely, the colours were situated in each corner according to a sequence, while the centre was a mix of it all. However, the mix wasn’t messy; it seemed to have a sequence!724Please respect copyright.PENANAdKQn16JPeN
Chui Yim suddenly threw the hammer away with a low shout and started drawing gliphs in the air!724Please respect copyright.PENANAO4pJCWOLP3
Szzz…724Please respect copyright.PENANAeVMMA3gYGI
Gliph strings crossed each other in front of him and formed an uncomplicated gliph. He had drawn a Hidden Cloud gliph, nodding in satisfaction as it landed on one of the five sides of the metal piece. Instantly, it turned into the shape of a cloud, just like a decorative accessory. Drenched in sweat, Chui Yim smiled.724Please respect copyright.PENANAHQR3mdh6tY
He was all beat out, but this was the first work that he was proud of in this world. But soon, he had a bad feeling.724Please respect copyright.PENANAIVw9oMYtGD
“Oh no…The stove…”
