The many Outer Sect Disciples that were following Apollo quickly said "It"s Zhao Hui, he became an Outer Disciple last year, he isn"t well-known in the Outer Sect but he"s also talented, last year he was already an 1-Grade Blacksmith, maybe he came to get his 2-Grade Blacksmith license?!""I frowned, does this guy really think I"ll bet my Rookie t.i.tle without him betting anything? I shook my head and said ""Are you trying to bully an junior like me? Besides, I don"t see any benefit in betting with you, if I win, what does I get?""
Zhao Hui said in disdain, smiling arrogantly ""Hmph, there"s no need to consider that, since you will certainly lose to me!""
Such confident guy, from what the crowd said, he"s going to get his 2-Grade Blacksmith, however, if this is his ability, I can still win, smiling lightly, I said "Oh, so the great you doesn"t dare to bet with a junior like me? Sigh, it would be really bad if others thought that you doesn"t dare, right?"
"Y-You! Of course I dare, I received an 5-grade Hammer from my master, if I win, you can have it but if you lose, your Rookie t.i.tle is mine!"" Zhao Hui said gloomily, he took my bait, I still wonder why these guys are so arrogant, I mean, some times having a brain is good.
My hammer is not very good so winning an 5-Grade Hammer is always good, it probably has a good quality, then, I went to the Room 1 as the proctor said ""Hm, I heard of you, you won the Rookie Tournament, such a genius, sigh, its as they say, the new generation will eventually surpa.s.s the old..."

The proctor of this test is an old man, that sighed melancholically, I just shrugged my shoulders and focused on doing the test, I decided that I will make a knife, I took the material given by the Sect and started with the first step of Forging: Expelling Impurity.
I raised my hand as a small, orange-colored flame appeared out of nowhere and slowly enveloped the materials, time pa.s.sed as the material now had a shining glow, indicating that all of the purities were removed.
I then did the next step: Shaping, I hit the material with my hammer as ten spiritual hammers also hit it, giving it the shape of a knife, then, my flame slowly turned blue as the heat from the material disappeared, revealing a pure, white-colored knife, the last step was finished, cooling.
"Did I pa.s.s?" I asked indifferently as the proctor nodded continuously, feeling surprised at how fast I did it and gave me a black-colored token with a shining, yellow star on the middle of it.
Good, now I will do the 2-Grade Blacksmith test, I asked the young woman at the balcony and she said it is on the Room 2, I then entered it and the first thing I saw was Zhao Hui, the one that challenged me before, doing the first step of Forging, he looked at me surprised "You... you already finished?!"
I ignored him and asked the proctor to give me the materials and he did so, though Zhao Hui looked surprised at me, his concentration wasn"t disrupted, this is a good thing, most people tend to lose concentration and fail, despite the fact that he"s arrogant, at least he has a good qualification, not all of them, though.
The materials given were much better than the ones for the 1-Grade Blacksmith test and comparably, much harder to remove the impurities, I meditated for a while, with full concentration, my flames slowly covered the materials, my Spiritual Energy was constantly being drained, I decided not to waste time as the temperature of my flame increased, the impurities were constantly being removed before finally, all of it was removed, I completed the first step of forging.
Wiping the small amount of sweat of my forehead, I concentrated once again as I started to hit the materials, ten spiritual hammers. .h.i.t along with me, however, this time, they seemed to be solid, meaning that I have the qualification of a 2-Grade Blacksmith.
*Peng!*
The sound of metal colliding with metal was heard continuously through the entire room, be it the sound of my hammer colliding with the material or the sound of Zhao Hui hammer colliding with his material, we were competing now to see who would end it first, I decided to make an ax this time, a few more minutes pa.s.sed as I finished giving it shape.
Zhao Hui ended giving shape to his just a few seconds after me, however, my flames slowly turned blue as the ax quickly cooled down, I gave it to the proctor as I said "I finished, sir""
The proctor looked indifferently to me before a.n.a.lyzing the ax, his face changed a bit as he said ""This is... High-quality 2-Grade Weapon, indeed, you"re only 15 years old but already so advanced on the art of Forging, congratulations... here"s your 2-Grade Blacksmith License!""
I took the Token, that differently from the previous one, that had only one star, this one has two, meaning my status as a 2-Grade Blacksmith.
I waited for fifteen more minutes as Zhao Hui finished cooling down his weapon, he made a sword and gave it to the proctor, that a.n.a.lyzed it and said indifferently ""Middle-quality 2-Grade Weapon, here"s your 2-Grade Blacksmith License." and then, he gave Zhao
Hui the same token he gave to me previously.
There are windows that people can look at how the ones inside are doing and everyone that was watching could see and hear how frustrated felt, when we went out of the room, I said "I won the bet, now, now... as promised, give me the hammer!""
Zhao Hui"s face fell down but soon, a confident smile appeared on his face "Even if you won, you can"t get the hammer from me, my master is an Inner Sect Elder!""
I frowned slightly, even an Outer Sect Elder, I can"t offend yet, not to mention an Inner Sect Elder, I shook my head, when I become strong enough, I"ll get it, for now, I can"t offend an Inner Sect Elder, just as I was about to go away, I heard an old, hoa.r.s.e voice saying
"Give him the hammer, brat" The voice said as overbearing pressure made everyone fall to the floor, even though I still managed to stand up, I couldn"t move, I feel... powerless!
"Who dares to do this, my master is an Inner Sect Eld-"" Before Zhao Hui could finish, he saw the face of the person, he stopped.
It was the old man that always guard the library, just what is he doing here?! Zhao Hui was shocked, his master once said to him "There are only four kinds of people that you can"t offend: Core Disciples, Core Sect Elder or the disciple of them, the Sect Master and the old man that guard the library, no matter what, never offend him!""
The overbearing pressure vanished as if never was there to be with as Zhao Hui quickly apologized "Sorry for offending you, senior! This junior asks for forgiveness!""
The old man simply stared at him, noticing what he wanted him to do, Zhao Hui gave his hammer to Apollo and ran away, his dignity doesn"t count if it means not offending this old man.
I, myself, also felt shocked seeing that Zhao Rui, that was so confident in his master, suddenly apologizing, what is the ident.i.ty of this old man? He"s strong...
The old man turned to my direction and looked into my eyes, his eyes were profound and boundless as the void, he then said "Youngster, do you want to be my disciple?!""
I felt shocked but then I smiled, this old man ident.i.ty surely isn"t simple and his strength is boundless, even the Core Sect Elder Eleni didn"t give me the feeling he gives, having him as a master will give me the protection I need to grow, plus, he"ll be able to guide me.
A smile appeared on my face as I replied while kowtowing three times "This disciple greets master!""
