Chapter 156: Each Seeking Their Own

Chapter 156: Each Seeking Their Own

Early in the morning, Wang Si sat at the top of the villa, cultivating his Purple Extreme Demon Eyes towards the rising sun.

The Ten Thousand Souls Art granted Wang Si immense spiritual power, but for now, the Purple Extreme Demon Eyes was his only means of spiritual attack.

Although the Purple Extreme Demon Eyes was unique to the Tang Sect in this world, Wang Si couldn't hold back from using it just because of them.

With the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King within him, Wang Si was certain that his eyes would undergo significant changes in the future, so whether or not he cultivated the Purple Extreme Demon Eyes wouldn't make much difference.

As the last purple glow on the horizon faded, his cultivation session came to an end.

However, his true training for the day was just beginning. Wang Si started to cultivate the Hundred Refining Bones by mobilizing the soul power within his body.

The reason Wang Si was able to successfully complete the Hundred Refined Metal was largely due to this body-refining technique.

The Hundred Refining Bones technique aimed to purify the bones, making them harder and stronger. The process was identical to the principles of metal forging.

Moreover, Wang Si felt that the subsequent stages of Thousand Refining, Spirit Refining, Meld Refining, and Soul Refining were quite similar to his usual cultivation. He just needed to treat the metal as if it were his own bones.

At eight in the morning, Liu Yue yawned as she walked out of the room Wang Si had arranged for her.

"It's so comfortable here that I didn't even want to get up." Liu Yue muttered to herself. Soon, she noticed someone cultivating on the top floor balcony of the villa, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Wang Si.

Glancing at the time, Liu Yue was also a little incredulous. It was just past eight o'clock.

It's not even nine o'clock yet. What was I doing when I was six years old? Probably still snoozing in bed.

[He's already at the eighth level of innate soul power, and he has a corporeal soul. On top of that, he cultivates so diligently.]

[Tsk, seems like I won't need to go out of my way to recommend him. With his talent, he'll likely be able to get into Shrek Academy on his own merits.]

[I wonder if I can benefit from his achievements in the future. Maybe, in my lifetime, I'll even have the chance to visit Shrek Academy again because of him.]

Liu Yue thought with a sweet feeling in her heart.

"Hey, little boss, you're up early. You probably haven't eaten yet, have you? Tell me what you feel like eating, and I'll make it for you."

Liu Yue offered warmly, but as soon as she spoke, she regretted it. She had almost forgotten that this little boss of hers... ate like a horse!

"I don't ask for much. Just make me some extra meat. I'll pay you for the food expenses later, along with your salary."

Wang Si, who was in the midst of cultivating, didn't give the other person a chance to refute and replied directly.

Liu Yue sighed inwardly, thinking, "Of course," while also grumbling in her mind, "Who are you hiring? A teacher or a nanny?!”

But she didn't voice her complaints.

…………

"To be able to consistently achieve a hundred refinements the day after getting your hands on a forging hammer... Your talent truly is enviable."

Originally, Liu Yue had thought that Wang Si's performance the previous day was a result of him pushing himself beyond his limits, but it turned out that achieving a hundred refinements was a stable performance for him.

It was enough to make anyone turn green with envy.

Such a prodigious talent was perfect for Shrek Academy. It was just a shame about that teacher of hers...

Shaking her head, Liu Yue forced herself to stop thinking about her teacher.

"Is a hundred refinements difficult? I think anyone with hands can do it."

Wang Si examined the metal he had refined a hundred times and actually wanted to try a thousand refinements, but his current physical condition didn't permit it.

Liu Yue had nothing to say to Wang Si's bragging. He had the talent, and there was nothing she could do about her envy.

"Do you want to go to the Blacksmith's Association to register your identity?

"You want me to go to the Blacksmith's Association to find a teacher? Then why did I hire you?"

"To protect you, of course. Compared to blacksmithing, I'm actually better at fighting. Having me teach you blacksmithing would be a waste of my talents."

Liu Yue blinked innocently, her face serious as she revealed her martial soul, soul rings, and battle armor.

Purple, purple, purple, black, black—five soul rings appeared around Liu Yue, and with them, a fiery red spear that exuded a sharp aura materialized in her hand.

"Allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Liu Yue, martial soul Melting Fire Spear, a level fifty-eight Strong Attack Type Soul King. My one-word battle armor is 'Flame'."

As Liu Yue shed her previous playful demeanor, her entire being radiated with sunshine and confidence.

The fiery red spear, billowing with scorching heat waves, shone brilliantly in the forge's firelight.

Seeing Liu Yue's display, Wang Si was stunned for a moment, seemingly shocked by her true strength.

Once he snapped out of his daze, Wang Si looked at Liu Yue with reverence in his eyes.

"Since that's the case, we'll do as you say. Also, if you're going to protect me from now on, we should recalculate your salary. I'll give you a fifty percent raise."

Wang Si said earnestly.

"The original salary is enough. As long as you don't kick me out, it's fine. I actually really want to witness the rise of a genius blacksmith."

In reality, what she was thinking was that once Wang Si attracted the attention of the Blacksmith's Association, she could use their regard for him to collect some of the materials she needed.

With that, she hoped to break through level sixty sooner and become a Two-Word Battle Armor Master, at which point the treatment she would receive would be very different from what she had now.

Compared to blacksmithing, she actually preferred fighting. If she weren't so carefree and fond of freedom, why would she look for work online instead of just opening a studio herself? That would be much more stable than running around like this.

Hearing Liu Yue's words, Wang Si's expression softened as he seemed to finally understand her meaning, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.

"Since that's the case, I'll leave this matter to you. I'm not very familiar with the Blacksmith's Association."

Liu Yue nodded excitedly, then took out her soul guide communicator and dialed a number.

Although she had been expelled from Shrek Academy, some major forces would not accept her.

But this so-called major force was a relative term; there was no question that Liu Yue had sufficient influence at the Blacksmith's Association.

"Okay, I've arranged a meeting with an eight-star blacksmith senior. Although he's quite far from us, he's agreed to come to our place. He'll be here in about a month, so during this time, practice the Hundred Refinements diligently. Don't embarrass yourself in front of the eight-star blacksmith senior."

She couldn't invite a teacher from the academy, but it wasn't difficult for her to invite some of the seniors from the Blacksmith's Association.

After all, the senior blacksmiths of the Blacksmith's Association were purely blacksmiths, unlike Shrek Academy.

In Shrek Academy, no matter how strong one's secondary profession was, what they valued most was still one's primary profession: the soul master.

The true industry leaders were found in the exclusive associations for each profession.

Take the Divine Blacksmith Zhen Hua, for example; he wasn't a part of Shrek Academy...
