People are in Douluo, there is no soul ring

Riding alone, the speed was obviously much faster than that of a horse-drawn carriage. After five days, Lin Manshan finally returned to Notting City.

He sold the big yellow horse to the inn, went home, cleaned up the house that had been unoccupied for the next half month, took a bath, and went straight to the blacksmith shop.

After greeting each other for a while, Lin Manshan went straight to the point, "Uncle Tieshan, I'm going to go to Gengxin City in two days."

"This relationship is great. Aman, do you need me to accompany you?" Tieshan said with a happy face.

"No need, Uncle Tieshan. I just want to be certified as a blacksmith. There is no danger." Lin Manshan said with a smile.

"Yes." Tieshan nodded and said with a smile: "In that case, Aman, then you can go with the purchasing caravan organized by our Notting City Blacksmith Branch in a few days. The Notting City Blacksmith Branch is our Notting City Blacksmith Branch."

A group organized by the city's blacksmiths, they will collectively organize a caravan at the beginning of every month to go to Gengxin City in the Star Luo Empire to purchase metal ore."

"My blacksmith shop is small, and I usually help the surrounding civilians buy farm tools, furniture, etc., and many of them are old ones for new ones, and the metal consumption is not large, so I usually make a list and let the purchasing caravan help carry some.

There are still 9 days until the next caravan departure. I will go and tell the leader of this caravan later, and then you can just follow."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Uncle Tieshan." Lin Manshan said politely.

"It's a small matter." Tieshan waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's you, Aman. Uncle Tie is waiting for good news from you."

"Well, I will take the assessment seriously." Lin Manshan said seriously.

Tieshan shook his head and said seriously: "Aman, there is no need to feel pressure, just perform normally. As a soul master, you should spend more time on training now. As for learning to cast, take your time.

You are still young. In the future, you will have plenty of time to slowly hone your casting skills. Don’t worry, your Uncle Tie can live for at least a few more decades, so you can afford to wait.”

"I know, Uncle Tieshan. I know it well..." Lin Manshan said with a warm heart.

Tieshan's dark and red face forced a smile and nodded, "That's good."

After chatting for a while, Lin Manshan said goodbye and left.

After returning home, he got into the forging room, banged and banged, and made a black ghost-faced iron cover to seal the soul bone of his head tightly. He was about to go to a new environment, and he must be fully prepared to avoid all possible encounters.

accidents and troubles.

After doing all this, plunge into intensive daily practice again.

Nine days later, in early July, after paying the fare, Lin Manshan got on the caravan and slowly headed towards the border of the empire. Gengxin City, like Notting City, is located on the southwest side of the two empires, so they can be said to be facing each other across the border.

The distance is not too far, and if everything goes well, it can be reached in ten days. Because there is a road guide, except for the relatively expensive tolls, the caravan's journey was smooth and they arrived on time.

After passing the inspection, the carriage drove into the city wall with a heavy metallic smell. Lin Manshan opened the curtain and looked around. Most of the main buildings on both sides were made of bricks made of clay, and were fixed with various metal decorations around them. It looked extremely beautiful.

Rough and thick.

"So many blacksmith shops." Lin Manshan clicked his tongue. Looking along the way, he saw at least dozens of blacksmith shops.

"That's natural. Gengxin City is the city with the most blacksmith shops on the mainland. According to statistics, there are more than a thousand blacksmiths and tens of thousands of blacksmiths. Blacksmiths from many places will come here specifically to undergo blacksmith assessments. Only those who become senior blacksmiths can stay.

in this city.

Aman, that guy from Tieshan told me that you are very talented as a blacksmith, and you will have to perform well later. At your age, if you can be certified as a senior blacksmith, it will really make our blacksmiths in Notting City look good.

"A middle-aged man beside him said cheerfully.

"Uncle Mo, I will work hard." Lin Manshan nodded.

The man beside him is the leader of the caravan and a blacksmith in Notting City.

"Yeah." The man nodded and looked away, "We're just ahead, Aman. I'll take you to take the assessment in person later. Hehe, that guy from Tieshan blew your mind to the sky in front of me. I

You have to see with your own eyes whether he is bragging."

"..." Lin Manshan opened his mouth, and finally replied, "Then I'll trouble Uncle Mo."

Not long after, the carriage stopped, and Lin Manshan jumped out of the carriage with the middle-aged man. Looking up, he saw a huge building more than thirty meters high with a sheen of steel. There was a dark plaque hanging directly above it, without any words, just a sign.

There is no gorgeous decoration around the raised pattern formed by the intersection of a hammer and a chisel. Looking back, there is not even a gate guard.

The three doors were completely open, and there was a steady stream of people coming and going.

"Let's go." The middle-aged man led the way and introduced as he walked, "The Blacksmiths Association is divided into five floors. The first floor is the trading area...the second floor is the advanced trading area...the third floor

The first floor is the registration assessment area..."

Walking into the door, the fully open hall is bustling with noise. The outermost area against the wall is a variety of counters, filled with various metal ores and blacksmith castings. Customers stop and go, surrounding the counter.

There is one layer after another.

"It's really lively." Lin Manshan sighed.

"That's natural, this is the general meeting." The middle-aged man smiled, turned around and told everyone accompanying him the time and place to gather, then turned to look at Lin Manshan, "Aman, let's go, I will take you to the third floor."

"Okay!" Lin Manshan nodded and followed suit.

Walking all the way up, they explained the situation to the guards at the stairs, and the two of them successfully reached the third floor.

The layout of the third floor is extremely simple. Except for a small counter in the center, it is surrounded by closed rooms.

Approaching the counter, behind him was a burly man leaning on a chair. The moment he saw the burly man, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly became respectful, "I've seen Master Sidi. I'm here to take this kid to test the blacksmith.

Please help me make arrangements."

"Oh?" Sidi stood up immediately after hearing this, "I have so much free time, let me take charge of it."

After saying that, he shook his body, walked around the counter, and strode towards one of the rooms with the firelight on the door and window.

As he walked, he waved back, "Follow me."

"Okay... okay..." the middle-aged man responded quickly, leading Lin Manshan to follow quickly.

The two walked into the door. Inside was a very simple forging room with a blazing fire. Sidi walked straight to the fire, picked up a piece of pig iron and threw it directly in. Then he turned around and said, "Child,

come on."

Lin Manshan nodded and walked forward.

"Blowing air to assist fire is also a basic ability of a blacksmith, and hammering pig iron is the basis of forging. So, next you must heat the pig iron with your own hands, and then hammer the pig iron in front of me.

The limit of what you can temper. And after the tempering is completed, the final quality of this piece of pig iron will determine your score in the first assessment."

After saying that, Sidi stepped aside and said, "Come on, let's get started."

"Yes!" Lin Manshan nodded, walked quickly to the blower, rolled up his sleeves, grabbed the handle, and pushed and pulled it rhythmically.

The fire was blazing, Lin Manshan was pushing and pulling while adding charcoal, and the surrounding air quickly became extremely hot.

The color of the pig iron in the charcoal fire also began to gradually change from the original dark gray to bright orange.

"Not bad! The movements and strength are perfect..." Sidi's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Not long after, Lin Manshan stopped, picked up the iron clamp from the side, picked up the pig iron and quickly placed it on the forging platform not far away.

Then he picked up the hammer placed on the ground next to him, adjusted his movements, and started swinging it rhythmically.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang..."

The sound of impact came one after another, like the beating of a heart, and like thunder in the sky, getting more and more intense.

"!!!?" Sidi was stunned for a moment, then with a glint in his eyes, he took small steps to the middle-aged man's side, leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what's the name of this child? How old is he today? It's you.

Disciple?"

"No." The middle-aged man was also dumbfounded and shook his head blankly, "He is a blacksmith apprentice in our civilian blacksmith shop in Notting City. His name is Aman. He seems to be less than ten years old this year. He is an orphan. It is said that he is

He was dropped out of the Junior Soul Master Academy."

"Less than ten years old! Blacksmith's apprentice? Orphan? Cough cough cough..." Sidi almost screamed, but still swallowed it.

I checked my eyes and realized that this is the guy I can't control. I'm not even a master blacksmith now. Even if I succeed in getting this kid, if the teacher knows that I'm teaching such a good kid, I'll definitely get pissed off.

Head, scold me for misleading my disciples, and I might even get beaten up... Sidi looked confused for a moment, then turned to look at the middle-aged man with a solemn expression.

"Friend, you stay here and watch for now. I'll be back as soon as I go."

"Oh...ok..." The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly.

Before he finished speaking, Sidi had already slipped out of the room quickly.

At this time, the middle-aged man finally realized that Master Sidi suddenly left a message and ran away. This was obviously because he couldn't control it and went out to scare others. "Damn it! That guy Tieshan is not bragging. This kid is really

He is a good young man who is a blacksmith. His talent is so good! What should we do now? Master Sidi has obviously gone to the master craftsman Lou Gao to recruit disciples."

Sidi is Lou Gao's direct disciple. If he can't figure it out, who else can he turn to?

After being silent for a while, his expression softened and he said, "I'm just helping to bring people here. Others don't care about me."

Clang, clang, clang, Lin Manshan looked serious, and the beating sound continued.

After a while, there was a creak and the door was opened, and then a series of footsteps came.

The middle-aged man turned around to look, and there were already four strong men, one old, three among them, standing beside him.

Looking at it with naked eyes, it seemed as if I was seeing a rare treasure.

"..." The middle-aged man trembled all over and subconsciously took two steps to the side.

Not long after, "Bang!" followed by a loud noise, and the room fell into silence.

Everyone looked around and saw that the volume of pig iron on the forging platform had been reduced by one-third from its original size.

Lin Manshan wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to raise his head when suddenly, a round belly appeared in front of him.
