Chapter 208: Audience with the Devil Emperor

(Seeing the subscriptions from my dear readers makes me anxious. I truly don't recommend continuing with this story. You can find better books to enjoy instead of stubbornly sticking with mine.)

"Oh my, not only has his forging talent not diminished due to the corruption of his Martial Soul, it seems to have improved?"

Nana Li held a detector to measure the fusion rate of the spirit-forged metal that Wang Si had just created by blending three types of metal together. She couldn't help but be astonished by the results.

Wang Si sheathed his forging hammer and embraced Nana Li's waist from behind.

"Questioning my abilities will come at a cost. Are you ready for it?"

At his words, Nana Li smiled charmingly. Taking advantage of Wang Si's brief inattention, she pushed him onto the forging table.

"This is the territory of the Holy Spirit Sect, not the Forging Master Association. If I get bullied here, those guys will surely laugh their heads off. So... hehehe..."

Wang Si suddenly realized what was happening and raised his eyebrows. However, he soon felt a powerful presence paying attention to them, and he couldn't help but feel resigned.

......

Following Nana Li, Wang Si walked down the long corridor leading to the inner chamber of the Devil Emperor, the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect.

Despite the solemn and majestic surroundings, Wang Si's heart was filled with excitement.

It was his first visit to the Holy Spirit Sect, and the prospect of meeting the Devil Emperor in person was truly thrilling.

At the end of the corridor, the doors to the grand hall were tightly shut, with armored guards standing vigilantly on both sides.

Nana Li respectfully stepped forward and announced Wang Si's arrival in a soft voice.

The heavy doors slowly opened, and a dignified voice echoed from within.

"Both of you may enter."

Wang Si took a deep breath and followed Nana Li into the hall.

The interior of the hall was dimly lit, with faint tendrils of black smoke drifting in the air. Seated on a central throne was the Devil Emperor, the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect—a powerful Soul Master shrouded in black mist.

Wang Si bowed respectfully.

"Your humble subordinate, Wang Si, a new member of the Holy Spirit Sect, greets the Devil Emperor. Thanks to Senior Nana Li's introduction, I am fortunate to have an audience with you. I am deeply honored.

From now on, I will dedicate myself to serving the Devil Emperor and the Holy Spirit Sect to the best of my abilities."

The figure enveloped in black mist nodded slightly, gesturing for Wang Si to approach.

Holding a pitch-black metal token in his hand, the Devil Emperor spoke with a hint of interest:

"Nana Li told me that you have mastered the art of forging three types of metal. I am quite intrigued. Why don't you demonstrate your skills and show me what you can do?"

There was no need to test Wang Si's loyalty, so the Devil Emperor directly threw the peculiar metal token to Wang Si, indicating that he should use it for forging.

"Yes, Devil Emperor!" Wang Si replied promptly.

He caught the black metal token and moved to one side of the grand hall, where a forging table had been prepared.

Wang Si first took out his forging hammer and gently tapped the metal token to sense its structural characteristics.

After a moment of thought, he retrieved two rare metals with suitable attributes from his soul guide device.

He placed the three rare metals on the forging table and began to heat them.

Wang Si gripped the heavy forging hammer, as if channeling an invisible power.

When the metals reached the right temperature, he took a deep breath and gently struck them with the hammer, feeling the waves of heat radiating from the collision.

The three metals were now white-hot, emitting a scorching white light.

Wang Si's expression turned solemn as he knew that this was a critical moment that required utmost caution.

Wang Si frowned and glanced at the Devil Emperor.

There was an eerie power within the black metal, a force that seemed to belong to another world, and it possessed an incredibly corrosive nature! The Devil Emperor remained unmoved, and Wang Si knew that if it were just an ordinary metal, she wouldn't have taken a personal interest; any one of the other two emperors would have sufficed.

Seeing the Devil Emperor's indifference, Wang Si could only settle for the next best option—he increased the force of his blows, intending to destroy the conflicting energies between the black metal and the other two metals.

The metal block deformed under his control, eventually merging into one.

The blazing fire devoured the metal, crackling as it burned.

Wang Si felt an unprecedented surge of power coursing through his body—the result of the fusion of the three metals. It was a success beyond his expectations.

He took a deep breath to steady himself and swung the forging hammer down again with all his might.

The metal reverberated with a deep hum in response to its master's will. It gradually became more uniform, its color turning translucent and radiant.

Wang Si continued to forge relentlessly until he felt the metal block had completely integrated.

"Looks like it's a success," Wang Si said with satisfaction. He set down his forging hammer and ran his hands over the newly forged metal, feeling the indescribable power emanating from it.

This was the special effect of the fusion of the three metals, and most importantly, the characteristics of the black metal had been preserved, integrating seamlessly with the other metals without any signs of rejection.

Wang Si turned to face the Devil Emperor and grabbed the metal.

"Your Majesty, as this is my first time forging this type of metal, I'm not entirely familiar with its properties. If I can try a few more times, I'm confident I can improve even further."

The Devil Emperor gestured for Wang Si to approach, and without hesitation, he stepped forward.

The figure shrouded in black mist reached out and took the metal, examining it before nodding in satisfaction.

"Excellent, excellent. It seems Nana Li was right; you are indeed a rare forging genius."

After pocketing the metal, the Devil Emperor, still enveloped in black mist, rose from their seat and patted Wang Si's shoulder.

"You have a fine body and good potential. I won't waste time with idle chatter. From now on, you are a part of the Holy Spirit Sect.

Since your specialty is forging, you won't need to participate in any other tasks or activities within the sect."

Wang Si nodded in acknowledgment.

However, just before the hand that had been resting on his shoulder withdrew, Wang Si noticed the pale, delicate palm. Almost instinctively, he began to scrutinize the shadowy figure before him.

Nana Li, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, felt a sudden, inexplicable twinge in her heart at this scene.

Although this guy was usually attentive to details, sometimes insisting that the girls kneel on his feet instead of the ground to avoid bruising their knees...

She couldn't help but think, "But you can't always be like this here..."
