Chapter 159: A Daunting Prospect

Chapter 159: A Daunting Prospect

"So, are you nervous?"

As they arrived at the headquarters of the East Sea Forging Association with Wang Si and Na'er, Liu Yue turned to Wang Si, who was about to undergo his assessment.

Wang Si nodded slightly; it was just a test, and he had faced far greater challenges before.

Thus, the only one truly feeling anxious was Liu Yue, an outsider who hoped for Wang Si to perform well.

"What a calm attitude. I hope you can maintain this composure later on as well."

Liu Yue took out her soul communicator and contacted the eight-star forger she had arranged a meeting with beforehand.

And then she was stunned.

"What? You're not coming yourself?"

Liu Yue covered her mouth in shock, unable to finish her sentence.

If the wrong person overheard that name, it might bring disaster upon that person, Wang Si, or even herself.

After obtaining the eight-star forger's contact information, Liu Yue eagerly sent a message to the legendary Master Forger.

"Respected Master Forger, we have arrived at the entrance of the East Sea City Forging Association. Should we enter directly, or is there a place where we should wait for you?"

The fact that Master Forger Zhen Hua had come to East Sea City was a well-kept secret; there had been no news of his arrival in the entire city. Apparently, the Master Forger did not wish to make a public appearance just yet.

"You must be the beautiful lady escorting the two children. From your current location, look towards eleven o'clock. You'll see a black business car with the license plate number . Come on over."

Upon reading the message, Liu Yue turned her head, and indeed, she spotted a business car.

As if to confirm Liu Yue's identity, the windshield wipers of the black business car flicked in greeting as she looked over.

Liu Yue patted Wang Si's shoulder, gesturing towards the car, then took Na'er's hand and ran over.

As they approached the car, the door opened automatically, and Liu Yue led the children inside.

Seated within the car were three individuals, two of whom Liu Yue recognized.

One was Master Forger Zhen Hua, and the other was Mu Chen, the president of the East Sea City Forging Association.

"Senior Zhen Hua, Senior Mu Chen, and this other senior as well."

After boarding, Liu Yue nodded to the three seated across from her and the children. Na'er, feeling shy, hid behind Liu Yue.

However, as soon as Wang Si got in, he was pulled over by none other than the Patriarch of the Main Body Sect, Muye (also known as Shepherd's Field or Pasture's Wilderness, but here I used the Pinyin for the name)

.

Muye examined Wang Si with a look of surprise, feeling his bones as he did so.

"Child, what is your main body spirit?"

To confirm his suspicion, Muye even pinched Wang Si's finger bones.

Just as he was about to touch the spongy tissue, Zhen Hua coughed lightly, reminding the old man to maintain some decorum.

But Wang Si was quick to extricate himself from Muye's grasp and moved over to Zhen Hua's side, answering Muye's question as he did so.

"My spirit is bones."

Hearing this, Muye nodded. According to his perception, the little guy's bone strength was indeed unusual.

But he still found it hard to believe, and so he asked, "How many bones does your spirit comprise?"

"My entire body, over two hundred bones."

This response left Muye, Zhen Hua, and Mu Chen stunned.

Liu Yue, who only knew that Wang Si had a main body spirit but not the specifics, was equally shocked to learn that his spirit encompassed all the bones in his body—over two hundred of them.

"His Main Body Spirit encompasses every bone in his body, and as we all know, Heavenly Forged Metal can greatly enhance one's spirit!"

Makino exclaimed excitedly, his eyes shining with enthusiasm. He envisioned the potential of infusing each of the boy's over two hundred bones with Heavenly Forged Metal, creating a walking, human-shaped red mecha.

As close friends, Makino and Zhen Hua shared a deep understanding, and with just a glance, Zhen Hua grasped Makino's intention.

To be honest, he was quite tempted by the idea.

If they could truly impart the power of Heavenly Forged Metal to every bone of a young Soul Master, would they not be creating a "god"? However, the thought of having to forge over two hundred pieces of Heavenly Forged Metal made him feel a bit strained.

"Cough, Brother, according to this young lady, this little friend here is a forging genius. You mustn't..."

Seeing his senior brother hesitating, Mu Chen thought he was considering inviting Wang Si to join the Main Body Sect.

He couldn't help but interject, reminding Zhen Hua of Wang Si's extraordinary talent.

Upon hearing that Wang Si possessed exceptional forging abilities, Zhen Hua's eyes lit up, and he looked at Wang Si with a glint of greed in his eyes.

"Quick, let's go back and test his forging talent!"

Zhen Hua urged Makino, who was sitting next to him in the business car, to step on the gas.

This business car appeared to be just an ordinary vehicle, but in reality, it was a genuine Black-grade mecha.

Makino was the one controlling this mecha, and he obliged by accelerating their speed.

If this boy truly was a forging genius, his future accomplishments would be limitless!

...

In the forging room, Zhen Hua watched as Wang Si successfully performed a hundred folds on four different types of metal, and his heart stirred with excitement.

Among the four metals, three were conventional metals available on the market, while the fourth was a rare and precious metal that was worth a fortune.

He never expected that Wang Si would be able to achieve a hundred folds with this metal as well. This was not something that could be accomplished through mere prolonged practice; it required pure, innate understanding!

"You must be exhausted, little one. Come, come, have some delicious food!!!"

As Wang Si lowered his forging hammer, Makino kicked open the door of the forging room and rushed in, holding a tray of food.

Seeing Makino's enthusiastic expression, Zhen Hua felt helpless.

"Hey, this isn't your house. Can you please be a little more considerate?"

Makino shrugged nonchalantly at the swaying door behind him.

"It's just a door; I'll compensate them later.

Little guy, you must be hungry after all that hard work. Eat something to replenish your energy."

Wang Si swallowed his saliva as he eyed the food presented by the Patriarch of the Main Body Sect.

To be honest, the bland food in his previous world had always left him feeling unsatisfied. Now, in this world, the rich and flavorful dishes truly hit the spot!

"Go ahead and eat. Although this fellow may seem a bit unreliable, his cooking skills are genuinely excellent. You're at a growing age, so it's important to eat well!"

Hearing Zhen Hua's words, Wang Si no longer hesitated and eagerly took the plate, devouring the food.

Makino watched Wang Si eat with relish, a fond smile tugging at his lips.

After Wang Si finished the nourishing meal, a scorching power began to brew within his body.

As Makino sensed this power, his initially relaxed expression gradually faded into a serious one...
