[Truth Master Zheng solemnly sends you an invitation for an exchange. The blacksmithing arts of the Western foreign land and Sakura fall are vastly different. If you can spot flaws in ’Gale Thunderclap,’ it shows that your blacksmithing skills are quite high, and you’re qualified for an exchange.]

[You are a guest from a foreign land, he is very welcoming of you coming here for an exchange of skills. To show respect, all materials required for this exchange will be borne by the ’Ishimaru Sword Furnace’, foreign distinguished guest only needs to fully demonstrate his skills, do not withhold anything.]

[He was about to take you to another sword casting furnace to start the exchange, but suddenly glanced at the ’Grand General’ aside.]

[Master Zheng frowned and signaled the ’Grand General’ to leave immediately, not to disturb his exchange with you.]

[The ’Grand General’ hurriedly explained that he wanted to stay here to protect Master Zheng’s safety from the foreign guest whose identity was unknown, to prevent any accidents that might make the Grand General blamed.]

Lin Xun secretly complained, this man is like a worm in his stomach, isn’t he?

He did indeed intend to kill Master Zheng and take over the awesome shell of the blacksmith.

However, with the Grand General being a third wheel, he couldn’t force his hand. If he failed to take over the shell, it would make the ’Ishimaru Sword Furnace’ heighten its defenses.

There might not be such a good opportunity next time.

[Master Zheng gives a hearty laugh, a person with such high skills would not be a small fry, so he asked the ’Grand General’ to leave hurriedly, otherwise, he would summon the guarding Samurai to drive him away.]

[The ’Grand General’ looks unwilling, but can’t go against Master Zheng and had to leave. He claimed that he would report this matter to the ’Grand General’ and asked him to observe the exchange of the highest forging skills between the two countries’ blacksmiths.]

[After the ’Grand General’ has left, only you and Master Zheng are left in the depths of the workshop.]

Lin Xun almost gave Master Zheng a thumbs up. How considerate.

But the Grand General is leaving to invite the ’Grand General’. He must make his move quickly to prevent changes.

[Master Zheng summoned an apprentice into the room, only to see the apprentice bringing in a tray full of precious materials.]

[You found ’Cloud Pattern Snow Steel’ (Material) *1]

[You found ’Wind Light Steel’ (Material) *1] 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

[You found ’Azure Mysterious Fine Iron’ (Material) *1]

[You found ’Thundering Steel’ (Material) *1]

[You found ’Red Sun Secret Bronze’ (Material) *1]

[You found...]

[...]

[The tray is full of materials, up to ten kinds. Master Zheng seems confident, he dismisses the apprentice, pointing at the tray, and tells you that you can choose any five kinds of precious materials to forge weapons.]

[He will use the remaining five kinds of materials to complete his casting process. When the two swords are finished, the one of higher or lower stature will be determined.]

[Please choose the materials you need...]

"To hell with choosing, now is the perfect time to strike!"

If not now, when the only ones left in front of the furnace are him and Master Zheng!

[You have possessed the shell of ’Star Lord Canis of Desire’!]

[Under the shocked eyes of Master Zheng, you squeeze the sword spell, and ’Dragon Sword Masamune’ turns into a sharp sword light, piercing Master Zheng’s chest speedily!]

[He couldn’t believe it, clutching his chest and slowly falling down...]

[You have defeated the ’Fire Worshiping Truth Master Zheng’, experience value slightly increased!]

[You look at the dead shell in front of you...]

[’Fire Worshiping Truth Master Zheng’: the best swordsmith in entire Sakura fall, has been conferred by the Grand General the title of ’Truth Master Zheng’ and is the owner of ’Ishimaru Sword Furnace’. He has forged countless sharp weapons in his life, but never thought that he would die under the very sword he had forged. Complementarity: 118% (+55%)]

[Do you want to possess this shell?]

[You have possessed the shell of ’Fire Worshiping Truth Master Zheng’!]

Lin Xun hurriedly opened the attribute panel to check.

[You have possessed the shell of ’Heartless People Ninja Master’!]

[Shell —’Fire Worshiping Truth Master Zheng’]

[True Name: Ishimaru Chuudao]

[Affinity: 118% (+55%) As affinity exceeds the threshold, the quality of the shell is improved!]

[Shell Quality: Excellent+ Level]

[Shell Level: 66 (+26↑)]

[Shell Equipment: None]

[Shell Skill: Legendary Forging Skill (Legendary Level Skill): The forging skill honed by the best swordsmith in Sakura fall swinging hammer millions of times. This skill can be used to forge equipment of legendary grade and below.]

"Why is there no hammer? How to forge without a hammer?"

Lin Xun directly put the ten types of precious materials into his bag and opened the search mode.

He had to find the hammer used by Master Zheng as quickly as possible. With such a high level of skill, his forging hammer must not be ordinary.

There might be some special forging effect on it.
