Chapter 888: Grandmaster! Blacksmith: 2850/3000 (Master) Wang Teng looked at the secondary job section and realized that his blacksmith attribute was on the verge of a breakthrough. He was elated! Round Ball was at the grandmaster level, which came after the master level! There were no grandmaster blacksmiths on Earth, and they all had high statuses in the universe. In a sense, although they were not on the same level as a cosmos-stage martial warrior, their statuses were much greater than celestial-stage martial warriors. This was because grandmasters were distinguished guests of many cosmos-stage martial warriors. They needed battle armor and weapons forged by the grandmaster blacksmiths. This was what Round Ball had told Wang Teng when he was bragging about it. That was why Wang Teng wanted to be a grandmaster blacksmith badly. In any case, one’s status in the universe was very important. His strength wasn’t at the cosmos stage now, but if he became a grandmaster, his status would naturally rise. Round Ball didn’t know about his blacksmith level. Wang Teng planned to shock it and enjoy its reaction. Wang Teng harbored malicious thoughts in his mind and then looked at the last Celestial Realm Spirit attribute. His spirit had just reached the Celestial Realm. An increase of 40 points was a slight improvement. “Is it difficult?” Round Ball couldn’t help but roll its eyes when it heard Wang Teng, “You are always talking big. Do you know difficult it is to cultivate Spiritual Kinesis Control? I took three… Ahem, three years to become proficient.” After it finished speaking, Round Ball muttered in its heart,?That was close. I almost told him the actual time I took. A genius like me can’t be taken lightly by this brat. ...... “Three years! So long!” Wang Teng exclaimed in surprise. Round Ball became depressed and snarled, “Go away. You don’t know anything at all. You will know how tough it is when you start cultivating. Three years is considered a short time. Someone like you will take at least thirty years, and you might not even make it.” Wang Teng smirked and didn’t refute it. He walked closer to watch Round Ball do some smithing. With his talent, eyes, and attainments, he could learn a lot without picking up attribute bubbles. Besides, the guidance of a grandmaster blacksmith was very useful. Not everyone had the opportunity to experience it. That was why Wang Teng didn’t take it seriously, and Round Ball didn’t shun him either. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚 Other grandmaster blacksmiths would never give others an opportunity to observe them unless it was for their direct disciples. “By the way, don’t you have the Emerald Glazed Flame? Let me use it. It will speed up the forging process,” Round Ball said. When it mentioned this, it couldn’t help but get a little jealous. A divine flame like that was possessed by a stupid boy like Wang Teng. What a waste! Wang Teng didn’t know that Round Ball was complaining about him. He didn’t hesitate and summoned his Emerald Glazed Flame. An emerald flame appeared in the air. However, this was not the time to change the flames yet. Round Ball didn’t speak and continued to forge the piece of black metal with the artificial flame. The clanging of metal didn’t stop. After about three minutes, Wang Teng suddenly flicked his fingers, and the Emerald Glazed Flame landed on the smithing table. Swoosh! The black metal instantly turned red, revealing strips of forged lines on it. When Round Ball was about to ask Wang Teng to change the flames, he was already on to it. On top of that, the timing and the heat were just right and it couldn’t find the slightest fault in it. It was really surprised. It was only for a moment though. The grandmaster blacksmith got back to its senses and continued to control the two hammers to forge. Now that the Emerald Glazed Flame was blazing, the forging speed was much faster. Round Ball immediately felt the benefits of a divine flame and was even more envious of it. At the same time, it wanted to clear its doubts, “Have you dabbled in smithery before?” “I’ve learned a little!” Wang Teng replied humbly. “More than a little.” Round Ball squinted at him. That precision and perfect change of flames. That smooth transition. It was no different from what it was capable of. An ordinary blacksmith couldn’t have done it. Wang Teng smiled and sat down. He continued to observe quietly and picked up the attribute bubbles that were dropping from Round Ball. Spiritual Kinesis Control*80 Celestial Realm Spirit*15 Smithery*105 Smithery*120 … As the attribute bubbles merged into his body, Wang Teng’s mind shuddered. Countless insights integrated into his memory, and his blacksmith mastery was elevated as it crossed the threshold. Grandmaster! At this moment, his blacksmith mastery had surpassed the master level and reached the grandmaster level. Blacksmith: 60/10000 (Grandmaster) Round Ball could never imagine that Wang Teng reached the grandmaster level just by observing it by the side. What a terrifying speed. Time went by, and three days passed in a flash. In those three days, Round Ball had finished forging Wang Teng’s customized battle armor, including that pair of wings of wind and lightning. And Wang Teng picked up a lot of attribute bubbles, which improved his blacksmith mastery. Blacksmith: 620/10000 (Grandmaster) Similarly, his Spiritual Kinesis Control had improved as well, advancing to the well-versed stage. Spiritual Kinesis Control: 350/5000 (well-versed) To get past the well-versed stage, he would need 5000 attribute points, five times the foundation stage. No wonder Round Ball took three years to reach the small achievement stage. If he really took it step by step, three years was indeed a short time. People who were not talented would take much longer. Besides that, Wang Teng had also obtained 280 points of Celestial Realm Spirit. It was a sizeable sum. Wang Teng was very content. At this moment, he was standing in the smithery studio with Round Ball and looking at the battle armor in front of him. The battle armor stood directly on the ground. It was black-red and with flame-like patterns carved on it. The helmet protected the head well. However, it looked somewhat ferocious. It was like a head of a vicious beast. The entire battle armor looked exquisite like a piece of art. But the helmet… For a while, Wang Teng didn’t know how to describe it. An elegant beast? What elegant beast? Wang Teng couldn’t complain. He was suspicious of Round Ball. It was either making fun of him or there was a problem with its eyes. “You designed this thing?” Wang Teng rubbed his eyebrows and asked helplessly. “That’s right. It was designed by yours truly. How is it? It looks good, right?” Round Ball was very proud. “Back in those days, I went to Great Qian Empire’s best college to study design.” Wang Teng: I see~
