"No problem."
Listening to the staff member, Tang Luochuan smiled and nodded, then immediately followed the person into the elevator with his younger brother.
Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Forging Master Association.
This was the president's office, and also the place where Mu Chen usually spent the most time. Besides working, he also had his exclusive Forge workshop here.
"They're finally here."
Mu Chen put down the phone in his hand, a strange emotion on his face, and a look of anticipation in his eyes.
"Hmm?"
Beside him, a young girl looked puzzled.
"Father, who has arrived that makes you so surprised?"
This was a girl with a ponytail and golden hair, looking about twelve or thirteen years old, and extremely beautiful.
Her name was Mu Xi, twelve years old this year, and she attended the advanced section of Donghai Academy.
"You'll see them soon."
"Two impressive little ones."
Mu Chen didn't explain much, speaking slowly.
It wasn't that he didn't want to tell her about the two, but he didn't know much about them himself at the moment. An old acquaintance had called him about them.
That person was Mang Tian, a man who never acknowledged anyone else's Forge talent. His achievement of becoming a sixth-level Forging Master at the Spirit Elder realm fully demonstrated his viewpoint.
But on that day, he told Mu Chen that he had encountered two natural Forging Masters who had already achieved considerable success at the age of nine.
Nine years old. Even he and his senior brother at that age were only first-level Forging Masters, barely beginners. Logically, he wouldn't believe it, but since this person was Mang Tian…
If they were truly as amazing as he said, perhaps a Divine Craftsman would emerge in the future.
"Two…"
"Little ones?"
"Could they also be Forging Masters?"
Hearing her father's words, Mu Xi pondered, thinking, 'Can little ones also Forge?' Then she subconsciously shook her head, because it was impossible.
"Xiao Xi."
"What do you think is the highest achievement a nine-year-old can have in Forging?"
Mu Chen asked with a smile.
"A nine-year-old?"
"I think…"
"They probably have no achievements."
Mu Xi shook her head, not even thinking about it.
"Hahahahaha."
"Father thinks so too…"
"President, I've brought them."
At this moment, a gentle knock on the door suddenly sounded.
As the door opened, two boys entered Mu Chen's sight: the Tang Luochuan brothers.
"Hello, President."
Tang Luochuan smiled slightly, took out the recommendation letters from Mang Tian for both of them, and handed them over.
"Hello."
"You must be the two little geniuses Mang Tian spoke of."
Mu Chen sized up the two in front of him, and a slight ripple stirred in his heart.
He couldn't tell much about the younger one, but the aura around the boy in front was extraordinary, indicating an unusual talent in the Spirit Master aspect.
"We dare not claim to be geniuses."
"Just a little talent, that's all."
Tang Luochuan, who already possessed fifth-level Forge skills, said without batting an eyelid. For him, the future was still very long.
"Yes, President."
Tang Wulin, beside him, also nodded seriously.
"Hmm?"
Mu Xi's gaze was drawn to the two in front of her, a look of surprise on her face.
These two young boys were actually recommended by Mang Tian?
Although that person's rank wasn't very high, his peculiar personality and strange Forge talent were renowned throughout the Forging Master world. For him to recommend someone…
The difficulty was not ordinary.
"Come in with me. Let me see what kind of ability the geniuses he introduced possess."
"A genius he praises, even I have never seen before."
Mu Chen gave them a deep look, motioning for them to follow him, and as soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards the workshop.
This was a spacious environment. Besides a workbench, there was only a shelf filled with various metal materials.
As the president of the Donghai Forging Master Association, and also the younger brother of Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua, he was also a top-tier Forging Master. All the metal materials were naturally of the highest quality and completeness.
"Show me your strongest Forge level."
"Let me see…"
"What your limits are."
Mu Chen's gaze fell on the two, and he said with a smile.
"Okay…"
"Brother, I'll go first."
Tang Luochuan nodded, but before he could finish speaking, Tang Wulin, who was beside him, had already opened his mouth, smiling brightly.
"There's a saying."
"The protagonist always appears last, so I'll go first."
Looking towards the material shelf, Tang Wulin thought.
"Hmm…"
"Alright."
Tang Luochuan paused slightly, but didn't say much, nodding in agreement.
"He should take profound silver and…"
"Tungsten steel, right?"
Although no specific materials were designated, Mu Xi's gaze subconsciously turned towards the profound silver and tungsten steel. The reason was simple: these two were the most commonly used by basic Forging Masters.
The two of them would likely use…
"He took a piece of Blue Forged Steel?"
However, seeing the blue-glowing metal he picked up, Mu Xi was suddenly stunned, clearly not expecting it.
Because this piece of metal was at least for a third-level Forging Master to use. As for Forging before that…
It wasn't impossible, but for a low-level Forging Master, it was a bit wasteful.
"President, I'm starting."
After glancing at Mu Chen, Tang Wulin looked back at the workbench, his eyes filled with fiery passion.
Then, after releasing his spirit power, he took out his Thousand Refined Profound Silver Hammer from his spirit tool and began striking the metal.
"Only a twelfth-level Spirit Master?"
Watching the scene unfold, Mu Xi, who was beside him, naturally sensed the spirit power aura from him, and her face immediately showed surprise. He was only a one-ring Spirit Master.
But looking at his hammer, it was at least a Forge hammer made through Forge. Could he actually lift it?!
"This is…"
"A Thousand Refined Profound Silver Hammer!"
Beside him, Mu Chen's expression froze, his gaze falling on the hammer, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
A Thousand Refined Profound Silver Hammer, he was too familiar with it, because his first Thousand Refined hammer was also made of profound silver. But…
How could a twelfth-level Spirit Master lift a Thousand Refined hammer, and also, this hammer clearly produced the hammer's effect!
"What?"
"A Thousand Refined Hammer!"
Hearing this, Mu Xi's eyes widened in astonishment.
She hadn't even passed the second-level Forging Master test yet, and she was currently only a first-level Forging Master. The hammer she used was only Hundred Refined, yet the person in front of her was using a Thousand Refined one!
How was this possible?!
"Wait, the effect of this hammer is…"
"Stacked Hammer?"
As she looked at the afterimages that appeared with each of his strikes, Mu Xi was startled, and said with some difficulty.
"This hammer…"
"He couldn't have Forged it himself, could he…"
She couldn't help but murmur.
"Sigh…"
"My first Forge is indeed not very skilled."
Shortly after, Tang Wulin stopped Forging.
And looking at the Thousand Refined Grade 3 Blue Forged Steel in front of them, both father and daughter were silent. The difficulty of working with Blue Forged Steel was much higher than profound silver, and Thousand Refined was already difficult enough.
"A Thousand Refined Grade 3 finished product, and it's Blue Forged Steel…"
"You're already a third-level Forging Master."
Mu Chen sighed, not knowing how to express his shock. His senior brother at this age wasn't even second-level yet!
Someone was already third-level…
Is this even human?!
"I think."
"Your talent lives up to Mang Tian's evaluation."
"The entire Forging Master world will never see another Forging Master like you."
Mu Chen couldn't help but sigh, speaking directly.
"Oh?"
"President, that's not necessarily true."
Hearing this, Tang Wulin chuckled, revealing a mysterious smile.
"How could that be?"
"Surely there isn't someone even better than you."
Mu Chen smiled and shook his head, his face full of indifference.
Mu Chen would put his words here.
Even after several decades, several centuries, it would be impossible for someone stronger than Tang Wulin, even by one level, to appear at the age of nine. He was already extremely…
"?"
Shortly after, looking at the Spirit Forged Blue Forged Steel that Tang Luochuan had Forged, Mu Chen's mouth opened and closed, finally giving up.
That night, Mu Chen couldn't sleep until midnight, his face filled with silence—
"Is this truly human?"
