"Ha ha!" A plump girl standing nearby laughed, "Look at him, his face is all red. Little brother, your eyes are really beautiful."

The sweet girl scolded, "Yan Yan, stop fooling around. Little brother, do you want to evaluate your blacksmith level?"

Tang Wulin nodded, somewhat awkwardly, "Yes!"

The sweet girl asked, "Where are your elders? Or did you come with a teacher?"

Tang Wulin shook his head, "My teacher said I should come by myself to find a master named Cen Yue."

Hearing the name Cen Yue, the two girls' expressions changed. The sweet girl hurriedly said, "Then please wait a moment, I'll ask Master Cen Yue if he has time. Have you contacted Master Cen via soul conductor communication?"

Tang Wulin shook his head again. How could he have a soul conductor communication device! Although soul conductor communication was convenient, the communication fees and equipment costs were very expensive. Even at home, they only had one fixed soul conductor communication device. He was planning to find a payphone soul conductor communication device later to call his parents and report his safety.

"Master Cen, a little boy is looking for you. Yes, that's right, he has big eyes and simple clothing." The sweet girl dialed the number and contacted him.

After hanging up, the sweet girl said to Tang Wulin, "Little brother, Master Cen Yue is available. Follow me."

She led Tang Wulin to one side of the hall. The plump girl, Yan Yan, watched their backs and stuck out her tongue, muttering to herself, "I didn't expect it! This little guy actually knows Master Cen Yue."

When the metal door of the soul conductor elevator opened in front of Tang Wulin, it startled him. This was the first time he had seen such a thing.

"Come, get in." The sweet girl didn't mock him but smiled gently.

Tang Wulin then came to her side.

The sweet girl said, "My name is Yun Xiaoling. Master Cen Yue's office is on the fifteenth floor. I'll take you to see him first, and then he will take you for the blacksmith level test."

"Thank you, sister." Tang Wulin said politely.

Yun Xiaoling looked him up and down. Although the child was dressed very simply, he was very good-looking, especially with those big eyes that all girls envied. Moreover, although he was simple, he was very polite, making it easy to like him.

"Ding!" The elevator stopped on the fifteenth floor, and the door opened.

The walls were silver metal, the ceiling and floor were white, clean, and tidy. This was Tang Wulin's first impression of the place.

Outside the elevator was a corridor, with doors on both sides.

Yun Xiaoling led him to one side and stopped in front of a door with a Cen Yue nameplate, pressing the button.

"Master Cen, I'm Yun Xiaoling. I've brought the child to you."

"Um." A deep voice responded, and the door opened.

This was a room of about thirty square meters. A huge wooden table almost took up a quarter of the space. Behind the table stood a middle-aged man in his forties, not tall but very robust, with particularly broad shoulders that bulged the black shirt.

At that moment, he was looking at a blueprint on the table.

"Master Cen." Yun Xiaoling called softly.

"Um." Cen Yue looked up.

His gaze fell directly on Tang Wulin, with a hint of curiosity, "You are Mang Tian's disciple?"

"Yes! Master Cen, hello. My teacher asked me to convey his greetings to you." Tang Wulin said respectfully.

Cen Yue frowned, "Mang Tian, that guy, is always arrogant. Why did he take you as a disciple? Come, I'll take you for the blacksmith level test."

Blacksmiths generally live in a world of metal and don't care much about the outside world. Although he was curious why Mang Tian would take Tang Wulin as a disciple, the test would verify everything.

Yun Xiaoling said, "Master, I'll go down first."

"Um." Cen Yue nodded to her. Yun Xiaoling smiled at Tang Wulin and turned to leave.

Cen Yue led Tang Wulin out and returned to the soul conductor elevator, taking the same elevator as Yun Xiaoling but pressing the button for the third floor.

As the elevator descended, Cen Yue asked Tang Wulin, "Little guy, did Mang Tian tell you what level of blacksmith you are?"

Tang Wulin shook his head, "My teacher didn't say. He just told me to come for the test and then I can take on some work."

Take on work? Yun Xiaoling, standing beside him, couldn't help but show surprise. Being able to take on work meant at least a second-level blacksmith. First-level blacksmiths were not allowed to take on work directly; they had to be assigned by higher-level blacksmiths.

Cen Yue asked again, "Do you know the blacksmith level system?"

Tang Wulin nodded this time, "My teacher said that blacksmiths are divided into nine levels. Level one and two are apprentice level, level three and four are master level, level five and six are grandmaster level, level seven and eight are saint level, and the highest level nine is divine level."

"Um." Cen Yue nodded.

At that moment, the elevator had already reached the third floor.

"Goodbye, sister." Tang Wulin said goodbye to Yun Xiaoling and followed Cen Yue out of the elevator.

Compared to the quiet fifteenth floor, the third floor of the Blacksmith Association was somewhat noisy, with the familiar "ding ding dang dang" sounds of blacksmithing echoing.

Cen Yue led Tang Wulin to the front desk and said to the staff, "Open a testing room for me and get an evaluator."

"Master Cen, is this your disciple? He's so young! Is he twelve yet?" The staff looked at Tang Wulin curiously.

Cen Yue took the form from the staff and gave it to Tang Wulin, "Fill out this form first, with your basic information."

"Yes."

Tang Wulin took the form and filled it out carefully.

Cen Yue read it out, "Tang Wulin, from Aolai City, nine years old, a first-year student in the intermediate department of Donghai Academy. You're only nine years old?"

This time, both he and the staff were surprised.

At nine years old, coming for a blacksmith evaluation was something that hadn't happened in the Blacksmith Association for many, many years. Historically, the youngest evaluator in the Blacksmith Association was eight years and six months old. That person was now working on the top floor, the thirtieth floor, of the Blacksmith Association, a genius blacksmith.

This child in front of him was only nine years old. If he could pass the blacksmith level test, what would it mean?

Cen Yue thought even more. Because Tang Wulin had just said that Mang Tian wanted him to take on tasks directly, which meant that this child might already be a second-level blacksmith. Was this going to break a record?

The staff said, "Master Cen, Testing Room Three."
