"Good child." Gu Chenyu smiled and patted Lu Jun on the shoulder.
Leng Yulai chuckled, covering her mouth:
"Your Excellency, Blood Demon, aren't you snatching a treasure from our Spirit Transfer Pagoda?"
"To each their own," Gu Chenyu laughed heartily, "Besides, we are both working for the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, and he also needs someone to guide him in his second profession, doesn't he?"
"That's true." Leng Yulai did not refute.
"Go, it's time to assess your skill level."
As Gu Chenyu spoke, he pointed towards the workshop inside.
Lu Jun nodded and walked into the workshop, taking out his own forging hammer from his spirit tool.
In terms of strength, his data was quite good.
Although he was a mage who wielded a sword, strength training for swinging a sword was still essential.
Therefore, his physical quality was also excellent among his peers.
Entering the workshop,
Lu Jun stood in front of the forging table, and Gu Chenyu's announcement of the assessment content sounded in his ears:
"The Level 3 Blacksmith assessment has only one item, and that is Thousand Refinements."
He stood to the side, his hands clasped behind his back, watching Lu Jun with keen eyes.
"You can choose any metal to complete the Thousand Refinements. The completion of the Thousand Refinements and the difficulty of the metal you choose will determine your final score."
Hmm?
He could choose the metal himself?
Thinking of the previous assessment contents, Lu Jun almost shed tears of gratitude.
Lu Jun couldn't help but look at Gu Chenyu.
This was giving him a break.
"Why, I am different from other assessors. I believe that blacksmiths do not necessarily need to be proficient in all types of metal forging."
Gu Chenyu said.
"Just do what you are best at. To be proficient to the extreme in one Domain means you are also a Saint Craftsman."
That's great.
Since he could choose himself, Lu Jun was not afraid.
He unhesitatingly chose a metal related to ice attributes.
…
Compared to Lu Jun, who was currently forging, Gu Yuena's mecha design was extremely smooth.
She was already a Level 3 Mecha Designer.
Having completed today's task, Gu Yuena prepared to return home and got into the luxury car.
The driver of the luxury car was still Ziji.
"Your Highness seems to be in a good mood today?"
Ziji keenly noticed the slight curve of Gu Yuena's lips and couldn't help but ask softly.
Gu Yuena was originally staring blankly out the car window, paused slightly at the words, and then said nonchalantly:
"…Nothing, and also, don't call me Your Highness outside."
However, as soon as the words left her mouth, she hesitated again.
Ziji blinked, did not press further, and only said:
"Your… Miss, you understand, it's a bit difficult to change my way of addressing you all of a sudden, it's a habit."
"I will slowly change."
After a moment of silence, Gu Yuena still spoke.
"That human named Lu Jun, our relationship seems to be progressing well recently."
"Oh?" Ziji immediately understood, "It seems that Your Highness gets along very well with him."
Gu Yuena gently twirled a strand of her hair, seemingly deliberating her words.
"He said… he wants to treat me to a meal to thank me properly." She paused, as if confirming something, and then added, "This should be what humans call the relationship between 'good friends,' right?"
Ziji's movements paused slightly, then she raised her hand to cover her mouth, trying to suppress her laughter.
"Yes, Miss," she responded softly.
Your Highness… is unexpectedly pure.
No wonder Ditian suggested she transform into a child's appearance to better adapt to human society.
Ziji recalled Ditian's suggestion at the time.
Letting Gu Yuena integrate into human society in the form of a human child, rather than appearing directly in an adult form, now it seems, this decision indeed had its reasons.
"Ziji," Gu Yuena suddenly spoke, interrupting her thoughts.
"Yes, Miss."
"How exactly should 'friends' among humans interact?" Her tone was still indifferent, but Ziji heard a subtle hint of perplexity in it.
Ziji smiled slightly and said softly:
"Your Highness just needs to… let nature take its course."
"Being too intimate, on the contrary, will be counterproductive."
"I see, I understand." Gu Yuena nodded, her thoughts gradually drifting away.
…
Compared to Lu Jun's development in Mingdu, which had gradually stabilized.
At this moment, in the distant Donghai City.
Tang San quietly watched his son, Tang Wulin, come to Donghai City for school.
"Strange… why didn't the amnesiac Silver Dragon King come into contact with Wu Lin as originally planned?"
Tang San, inside Tang Wulin's body, pondered over and over, but still couldn't figure it out.
"What's going on with Father? Did his becoming the Plane Master fail?"
"Moreover, the luck on Wu Lin's body hasn't reached the imagined height either."
"Sigh."
As soon as he thought about the various unfulfilled problems, Tang San began to worry and worry.
"Originally, in the God Realm, there were countless ways to obtain the Divine Tool that fell in the Extremely North Land for my use, but that damned God King of Destruction kept obstructing me."
"Because that Divine Tool blocked my connection with the Douluo Continent, preventing me from further mastering the Douluo Continent, even my plan to make Huo Yuhao my son-in-law failed."
"This time, Wu Lin must master the power of that Divine Tool. Such a divine weapon must not fall into the hands of others, otherwise, it will definitely pose a fatal danger to us."
Tang San sighed.
He stayed there, little by little witnessing his son Tang Wulin grow up, watching him now enter Eastsea Academy for school, a slight smile on his lips.
The next moment, another divine sense approached Tang Wulin, making Tang San alert.
"Who? This is… Wait, is it Father?"
"…Little San, you are indeed here."
Tang Hao's voice sounded, establishing communication with Tang San inside Tang Wulin's body.
And Tang Wulin, who was currently meditating and cultivating, was completely unaware.
Tang San's divine sense trembled slightly: "Father? How did you…"
"According to your previous arrangements, the Tang Sect is all ready, and also, the Tang Sect found the existence of that Divine Tool in Mingdu."
"What? So fast?"
Tang San was overjoyed.
Speak of the devil, and he appears.
Tang Hao said in a deep voice:
"Only…"
"Only what?" Tang San subconsciously asked.
"According to the Tang Sect's report, that Divine Tool, it seems to have transformed into a human," Tang Hao's voice carried a hint of strangeness, "And it's a child, possessing a Tool Spirit with Ultimate Ice attributes."
"The Tang Sect hacked into the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's system and found clues in the archives. It is rumored that three years ago, the Spirit Transfer Pagoda Headquarters experienced a celestial phenomenon…"
"That child's name in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's archives is registered as Lu Jun, his Spirit is a sword with Ultimate Ice attributes, suspected to be related to the ice-attribute Divine Tool in the Extremely North Land."
"Transformed into a human?! Lu Jun?"
Tang San repeated the name, his expression fluctuating.
