Chapter 26 One Year Later

Beikouhe Town, west of the town, Jiang's Blacksmith Shop.

"Dang--! Dang-dang! Dang--! Dang-dang!..."

The rhythmic knocking sound was endless, and under the light of the crimson fire, on Ling Yi's fair face, beads of sweat shone like rubies.

"laugh--!"

As soon as the dark red ironware was immersed in the icy cold spring water, a large amount of white mist immediately diffused, making Ling Yi's upper body faintly visible.

"Clang—!"

With a crisp sound, a crescent-shaped black iron casting was clamped by iron tongs and placed on the iron felt.

This is a sickle blade with a handle missing. It is dark in color, flat, and has a crescent-like arc that is extremely smooth, showing the craftsmanship of the forger.

At this moment, a head stretched out from the side, looked at the sickle blade on the iron felt, and then looked at Ling Yi's handsome little face that still looked childish, and couldn't help but sigh: "A Yi, Your skills have already surpassed mine, and are no worse than the master’s!”

"There's no~"

With a sunny smile on Ling Yi's face, he shook his head at Ling Bai who was leaning over, and said, "I'm not strong enough, and I can only work on some details. When it comes to forging technology, it's still about you and Brother Bai. Master Jiang is even more powerful—”

"You—" Ling Bai raised his hand and tapped Ling Yi's shoulder, and said, "You're still so humble, you don't look like you at this age..."

While the two were talking, they did not delay the work in their hands. Ling Bai held iron tongs, holding pieces of pig iron, and put them into the red and blue half-flaming stove. Ling Yi picked up the already cooled sickle blade with his bare hands, and turned around. He came to the workbench two steps away and began to sharpen the edge of the sickle.

Just as Ling Yi was concentrating on grinding the blade of the sickle into a fine jagged shape with one hand and a file with the other, the owner of Jiang's blacksmith shop, Master Jiang, came to the workbench at some point and watched Ling quietly. The sickle gradually became a finished product after changing hands.

When Ling Yi put down the file, picked up a piece of rough linen cloth, and wiped the sickle a few times, a loud praise sounded in his ears:

"good--!"

"Xiaoyi~" Master Jiang glanced at the scythe in Ling Yi's hand with a cold light shining on the blade, and said with a satisfied look on his face, "Just look at the blade of this scythe, what Boy Bo said is to put it away. Skills are actually better than mine——!"

As he spoke, a look of reminiscence appeared on Master Jiang's face:

"When I was learning art from my master, the master told me, 'Three years of forging, sharpening for life'~"

"Generally speaking, the technical difficulty of sharpening is much more difficult than that of forging!"

"The texture of the blade, the thickness of the edge...these are all very meticulous—"

Speaking of this, Master Jiang's expression darkened, then he returned to normal, shook his head, and sighed:

"It's a pity that my talent is dull, and the skills I have learned are limited. In the end, I can only go back to my hometown, open such a blacksmith shop, and barely make ends meet..."

Master Jiang's tone was calm, obviously he had accepted his current state and was content with the status quo.

Regarding this, Ling Yi didn't say anything consoling or encouraging, just smiled shyly, handed the scythe in his hand to Master Jiang, and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, I still have a lot to learn~ If you praise me so much, it will make me proud—"

"You boy~" Master Jiang chuckled, took the sickle, and pressed his rough thumb on the sawtooth of the blade lightly. The color of approval.

"That's right~"

As if thinking of something, he asked Ling Yi again: "Yesterday, I heard Boy Bai said that you little guy is going to school in "Muzhi City" next month?"

While asking, Master Jiang suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was not like Ling Bai and the other two young men in the shop, who came to become blacksmith apprentices, and when they learned the craft in the future, they regarded blacksmiths as ordinary people who made a living. It's a "Heaven's Proud Son" who has innate soul power and is expected to become a soul master!
Well, in the eyes of ordinary people without soul power, soul masters, even soul warriors below the tenth level, are different from those mud-legged masters~
"Hmm~"

Facing Master Jiang's question, Ling Yi nodded and replied with a smile: "This year, the number of work-study students in the town happens to be free, and my family has saved me a living allowance, so I will naturally go to the college. Let’s learn some knowledge about soul masters—”

"That's right~" Master Jiang nodded when he heard this and agreed: "You should learn it, otherwise when your soul power reaches level ten, I'm afraid you won't even know how to choose and absorb soul beast soul rings..."

"By the way, when are we going to leave? We're not close to "Muzhi Castle"—"

Ling Yi: "Leave in three days, go early so that you can handle things like enrollment and accommodation..."

"It should be~" Master Jiang: "Although you are young, you are reassuring when it comes to handling things!"

Speaking of this, Master Jiang showed hesitation, but after only two breaths, he became firm, and immediately said to Ling Yi: "Well, you set off for "Muzhi City" in three days, and you happen to visit this town too. Come to the store..."

"Ah?" Ling Yi was taken aback, but there was no hesitation on his face, and he nodded in response without asking why, "Okay, Master Jiang, I will definitely come to say goodbye to you when the time comes."

"Ha ha--"

Seeing Ling Yi's neat and unobtrusive appearance, Master Jiang couldn't help but feel very satisfied, he couldn't stop laughing, and after a few laughs, he said to Ling Yi, "Don't worry, it's a good thing——"

"At that time, I will write a letter, and you will take it to "Muzhi City". After you are settled in the school, you take the time to go to Jin Geng's blacksmith shop on Anfang Street in the south of the city, and hand the letter to the master inside, Mr. King Kong Jin .”

"Thank you, Master Jiang, for your trouble~" Ling Yi thanked him first, and then asked curiously, "Who is Mr. Jin—?"

"Hey~" Master Jiang said with a smile on his dark and red face, "Don't worry, I'll tell you in three days..."

'All right~'

Seeing this, Ling Yi didn't care, shrugged, and told Master Jiang a few questions that had arisen when knocking the sickle blade. After receiving Master Jiang's experience, he picked up a piece of red-hot iron again. Ingots, continue to forge them.

The rhythmic knocking sound sounded again. This time, Ling Bai beside him didn't just heat up the iron ingot, but also took out a bright red iron ingot and struck it with a hammer.

During the duet, Ling Yi's mind is divided into three parts. One part pays attention to his standing posture, breathing rhythm, arm span height, muscle strength, etc. when swinging the hammer; the other part senses the shape, weight, density and texture of the iron ingot under the hammer. Wait; the last part of his mind is to plan the itinerary after the practice in the blacksmith shop for a while.

At this time, it was already August [-] in the Douluo calendar, and it had been more than a year since the martial soul was awakened last year.

Today, compared to a year ago, Ling Yi has much richer information on his character panel.
