The forge was silent. Everyone stared at Steward Chai, waiting for his decision.
Steward Chai’s face looked serious. He thought for a moment before saying to Wu Fan, “Sir, our friend here is taking the Guild’s test right now. We should discuss this after the test!”
“Oh?” Wu Fan narrowed his eyes. What did Steward Chai mean? Did he want to protect So Mo?
The others were a little shocked. It seemed that Steward Chai wanted to intervene in their feud.
So Mo felt relieved and began to feel a sense of respect toward Steward Chai.
“Steward, this man is vicious and he is the nemesis of my tribe. Must he take the test?” Wu Fan asked coldly.
“Of course, he must!”
Steward Chai nodded and answered seriously, “He is taking the Craftsmen’s Guild test. No one is allowed to disrupt the test.”
“What about after that?” Wu Fan became angry.
“If he pass, he will be a member of our Guild. If he does not, we will not interfere in your business!” Steward Chai said.
Wu Fan’s expression changed after hearing his words. What Steward Chai had meant was that if Su Mo had passed, he would become a member of the Guild and he could not fight Su Mo.
Wu Fan was furious. If Su Mo joined the Guild, he would be protected. This whole affair would become tricky had Wu Fan attempted to deal with him.
All the people in the room felt a little shocked as Steward Chai was willing to go against the Sorcerer Tribe to protect Su Mo.
Lu Yun felt astounded as well. He had not expected Steward Chai to value Su Mo’s talent so much.
Su Mo would blame him for bringing Wu Fan here. If So Mo had passed the test, he would be in deep trouble.
“Let the test continue!”
Steward Chai ignored Wu Fan’s gloomy face and said loudly.
Wu Fan did not stop him since he knew nothing would change Steward Chai’s decision. He prayed for Su Mo to fail the test.
He had not known Su Mo was a craftsman until today.
A member of the Guild required Qi cultivation no lower than the Imperial Class. Wu Fan did not believe that Su Mo had attained this level.
Could this aborigine from the Firmament World be an Imperial Craftsman? He was only 30 with a Lv 9 Martial Royal Realm cultivation!
How could it be?
“My friend, don’t worry. Show us your best cultivation skills!” Steward Chai said to Su Mo.
Su Mo nodded. He did not say a word but cupped a fist in a hand to salute Steward Chai.
After that, he removed from his mind all distractions. This time, he must succeed!
If he passed the test, he would be safe and protected by the Craftsmen’s Guild. Otherwise, he had to run for his life again.
Swish, swish, swish!
He waved his hands and more than a dozen materials flew steadily into the crafting furnace.
After that, he injected his Dark Force into the crafting furnace, causing the flame to surge.
Everyone in the room watched as Su Mo forged his weapon. Each had their own thoughts in their mind.
Of course, Steward Chai had hoped that So Mo could pass the test. Wu Fan and Lu Yun hoped for Su Mo to fail.
“I don’t think you can forge an Imperial Class weapon!” Wu Fan thought to himself, his eyes completely cold.
“He must not pass the test!” Lu Yun prayed in his heart.
The forging went smoothly since he had already done it several times before.
After a while, he smelted over three hundred materials and did not make a single mistake.
After that, he began to cast the molten fluid into molds, refining repeatedly. Finally, he cooled and solidified the weapon.
It took him only about four hours to forge the weapon.
Upon removing the lid, the strong aura of an Imperial weapon rose from the furnace into the air, filling the entire forge.
Success?
Everyone in the room was shocked. Had he really forged a Profound Ax?
Wu Fan and Lu Yun’s faces were gloomy. The aura which filled the room suggested that So Mo had succeeded.
Lu Yun was stunned by So Mo’s craftsmanship technique. It had really reached the Imperial Class!
Wu Fan was even more astonished than Lu Yun. He knew that Su Mo was an aborigine from the Firmament World and he could not believe that Su Mo could become an Imperial Craftsman.
“Steward Chai, please examine it!” So Mo raised his arm and the Profound Ax flew from the furnace toward Steward Chai.
Steward Chai caught the ax and studied it carefully.
A few moments later, Steward Chai said with a smile, “Good. Although its quality isn’t great, it is indeed a Lower Class Imperial Weapon.”
A light glittered in Steward Chai’s eyes. Although Su Mo’s Profound Ax was not very good, Steward Chai was quite satisfied.
It proved that Su Mo had outstanding talent.Read more chapter on vipnovel.com
A young craftsman, under 30 and whose cultivation had not reached the Martial Emperor Realm! Its implication was significant.
With his outstanding talent in craftsmanship, it was easy for Su Mo to become a Holy Class craftsman.
Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, he had performed well in the test.
“Su Mo, from now on, you’re officially a member of the Craftsmen’s Guild!” Steward Chai smiled.
“Thank you, Steward Chai!” Su Mo saluted him with a cupped fist in a hand. He would be protected by the Guild henceforth.
Not far away, Wu Fan was furious. A murderous desire arose in him.
Since Su Mo had joined the Guild, he could not capture him today. It would be much more difficult to deal with Su Mo from now on.
“Young friend, what is your name?” It seemed Steward Chai had not noticed the murderous aura from Wu Fan’s body. He walked over to Su Mo.
He had not asked for Su Mo’s name. Now that Su Mo had passed, surely he needed to know his name.
“My name is Su Mo!” Su Mo gave him a salute, cupping a fist in a hand. At the same time, he took note of Wu Fan nearby to pre-empt his attack.
“Alright!”
Steward Chai raised his head and smiled. “Su Mo, come with me!”
After that, Steward Chai walked toward the door.
“Wait!”
Wu Fan shouted out coldly and stood before Steward Chai, blocking his way.
“Steward, Su Mo is our tribe’s nemesis. Does your Guild want to offend the Sorcerer Tribe?” Wu Sen asked with a cold face.
Steward Chai glanced at Wu Fan and replied indifferently, “It has been a long time since someone has dared to interfere with our business. How dare a Lv 2 Martial Honored Realm warrior like you challenge our authority here?”
His voice was not loud and sounded no different from his usual speech.
However, Wu Fan’s body shook violently before he retreated three steps backward. His face was pale.
“He is so powerful!” So Mo was surprised.
He did not know Steward Chai and Wu Fan’s exact cultivation. He thought that Steward Chai’s cultivation was probably in the Martial Honored Realm like Wu Fan’s.
Surprisingly, Steward Chai was powerful enough to force Wu Fan back and injure him with his words.
Lv 2 Martial Honored Realm!
If Wu Fan was a Lv 2 Martial Honored Realm warrior, then what was Steward Chai’s cultivation? Was it higher than the Martial Honored Realm?
Wu Fan was furious. He clenched his fist but did not dare to fight back.
“The Craftsmen’s Guild doesn’t welcome you. Show our guest the door!” Steward Chai said coldly. He had made up his mind to protect Su Mo.
