No time to care. Ray Guamin lightly shook his head as he looked around. He wanted to find Ray Zhen's figure. He heard that the leader would come here today. If he failed, the leader would show himself and kill Qian Jin instantly.

"Since both are weapons." Yunxing Huisheng looked at the two weapons and said, "This would be easy."

Chun Zensheng handed his sword over. He trusted Yunxing Huisheng's honesty. As someone who had been the judge of several God-tier Blacksmith Competition, he was very trustworthy.

"Warrior Weapon." Yunxing Huisheng weighed the sword and said, "Not bad. Looks like you all improved. You have created a level 2 Warrior Weapon in such a short time."

After Qian Jin handed over his black stick, Yunxing Huisheng's eyes shone. "Level 4 Warrior Weapon? This..." he gasped.

Level 4 Warrior Weapon! Even Yunxing Huisheng couldn't understand how Qian Jin managed to make a level 4 Warrior Weapon on his own. Yunxing Huisheng knew that he couldn't do it even if he prepared for many days.

"Level 4 Warrior Weapon?"

The tired yet proud managers and Vice-Presidents were all shocked, they couldn't believe their ears. "Forging a level 4 Warrior Weapon in four hours? Are level 4 Warrior Weapons like weeds on the side of the road?" they thought.

Qian Jin exhaled. He thought he was only able to make a level 3 Warrior Weapon but the Eighteen Blade Elevating Strikes and his Heart of Earthy Fire helped him out.

Although there was only a one level difference, these blacksmiths knew that the difference was actually huge.

Level 1, 2, and 3 Warrior Weapons were considered low-tier Warrior Weapons, level 4, 5, and 6 Warrior Weapons were considered mid-tier Warrior Weapons, and Level 7, 8, and 9 Warrior Weapons were considered high-tier Warrior Weapons. Finally, level 10 Warrior Weapons were called Ultimate Warrior Weapons.

Without the Heart of Earthy Fire, Qian Jin knew that he couldn't make a level 4 Warrior Weapon in a day, but now, he made it in four hours.

"How can this black stick be a level 4 Warrior Weapon?"

Chun Zensheng shouted right away. As a group, they only managed to create a level 2 Warrior Weapon, "But Qian Jin can make a level 4 Warrior Weapon alone in four hours? Since when did level 4 Warrior Weapons become so easy to make?" He thought.

Yunxing Huisheng didn't mind the question. He passed the two weapons to Chun Zensheng' even if Chun Zensheng was a Demon Fighter, he couldn't destroy the level 4 Warrior Weapon using a level 2 Warrior Weapon. Since Chun Zensheng wasn't even a Demon Fighter, there was no way that he could cheat.

"Level 4 Warrior Weapon?" As soon as Chun Zensheng touched the weapon, he knew he was in trouble. "Damn! A real level 4 Warrior Weapon?" No, could it be that he has some secret technique that can make an item look like a level 4 Warrior Weapon?" He thought.

Chun Zensheng took a deep breath and chopped at the iron stick with his sword.

Tink! A few metal sparks appeared as the loud metal colliding noise sounded. As soon as he saw a few chipped iron pieces, he was excited. "See, I chopped that iron stick with one strike..." He thought.

"Uh….." Qian Jin sighed, "It was a good Warrior Weapon..."

"Huh... what Warrior Weapon? You..." Chun Zensheng's eyes suddenly opened wide as he looked at the sword.

"It is not the iron stick, it is my sword..." Chun Zensheng froze.

"How?" More than a dozen top managers of the union were all stunned. So the item they made with all their effort couldn't even match up to the item one man made in four hours?

Xian Qiang crossed his arms in front of his chest as he enjoyed the stunned expression on people's faces. "You shocked now? I almost peed my pants when I first saw him, and now it is your turn." He thought.

"Lost." Ray Guamin felt a chill in his body. Did they lose to Qian Jin after uniting everyone together? What did that mean? It meant that Qian Jin's value was greater than everyone combined. Even an idiot would know which side to choose now.

On top of that, Yunxing Huisheng's influence was unparalleled, not a lot of people wanted to go against the president's will. They did that just to test how good Qian Jin was at forging. Since Qian Jin was great at it, then...

"Wait." Chun Zensheng raised his sword and said, "Since you named the last test, then you must be prepared."

Qian Jin laughed and responded, "I don't mind more rounds. How long do you want to take this time?"

...

Chun Zensheng got a little nervous. He knew that he couldn't win in forging.

"We will test other abilities." Chun Zensheng said with his thick face. "As a blacksmith, we need great identification skills."

"Sure, but..." Qian Jin looked at the man and said, "I will get out if I lose, what about you? What is your bet?"

Chun Zensheng was stunned. He had lost his collection to Qian Jin in the last round, and he only has gold coins left. But compared with the role of the president, his gold coins weren't enough.

"How about your freedom. If you lose, you will have to become my retinue."

Qian Jin looked at Chun Zensheng coldly. He knew he had to be tough against this kind of people so others would learn. He was too young, and he might not able to get respect even if he was great at forging. He also needed to show how cruel he would be if someone dared to offend him like this.

Freedom? Chun Zensheng had never bet this much before. But now?

"How can I back off?" He knew that he couldn't stay here nor at the Central Union at the Holy City if he backed out."

"There is a final way." Chun Zensheng took a deep breath as he said, "I will take the bet."

Qian Jin snapped his fingers as he heard that. He believed that the Roll Family was getting into this business, as such, a vice-president level Forge Master would be a good present to Rosella. Although this Forge Master wasn't that good at forging ... at least he had his networks.

"President..." Chun Zensheng whispered to Yunxing Huisheng. "I want to borrow the treasure of our union."

Yunxing Huisheng's calm and relaxed expression tightened. The Union's treasure...

Every union had their treasures. A Pharmacist Union could have a potion bottle or an ingredient, and a Blacksmith Union would have a weapon, an item, or even a material.

The treasure of the Blacksmith Union at Yulee was very special. It was a huge ax. It wasn't just any regular axes nor Warrior Weapon, it was ... a Soul Weapon.

That's right... a Soul Weapon that was broken.

Yunxing Huisheng still remembered that he discovered this broken Soul Weapon at a small Blacksmith Shop that went bankrupt.

The blade of the ax had its fair share of history. With the blade broken and no extra decoration, it just looked like a regular battle ax.

After Yunxing Huisheng got it, he studied it for many days, and he finally realized he found a Soul Weapon, although it was broken.

However, even a broken Soul Weapon was very valuable. One could study it to figure the techniques used to forge it, although this way of studying took a lot of time and energy.

Yunxing Huisheng had studied it for more than a dozen years, and he only was able to forge a Warrior Weapon when he wanted to forge a Soul Weapon. That item was gifted to the mayor on his birthday party last night.

Test the identification ability? Yunxing Huisheng Finally understood what Chun Zensheng was after, he wanted to see if Qian Jin can recognize the Soul Weapon.

Soul Weapons and Warrior Weapons were completely different. To an ordinary person, a soul weapon may just look like a regular weapon.

Yunxing Huisheng had to admit that Qian Jin's forging skill was amazing, but that won't translate into a good identification skill. "If Qian Jin had never seen a Soul Weapon before..." Yunxing Huisheng worried. "But he said he would get out if he lost... it is too late to call off the bet."

"Master." Ray Guamin quickly said: "You won't favor Qian Jin, right?" At this point, he didn't care about the relationship with his master anymore.

Qian Jin shrugged his shoulder, he didn't really care. He had seen a lot of items from Blake's book. Soul Weapons, even Saint Weapons...

Qian Jin opened up his Warrior Dimension and looked at Dark Demon Armor that was resting in there. "That is a real Saint Item..." He thought.

"I can even identify a Saint Item." Qian Jin smiled at Chun Zensheng who quickly walked away. This was the time to show his low-key side of personality. He had to show off his skills in order to fight against the Qian Family and Qian Zhanxuan.

In a few minutes, Chun Zensheng returned with a huge chest and a big smile on his face.

"If you recognize this item, then I lose."

Chun Zensheng patted the wooden chest as he said.

Yunxing Huisheng took out two keys from his pocket. These were two special keys with magic conducting ability. There wasn't another key like this in the world, and that represented the importance of this item.

Crack...

The chest opened and a very ordinary ax appeared in front of everyone. It was big, but it looked just like a regular ax.

Xian Qiang shook his head. "If the president didn't identify it was a Soul Weapon, I won't even look at it if it was placed in front of me." He thought.
