Han Muye nodded and took a step back, looking down at Yu Changdao below.
Yu Changdao stepped onto the stone platform and summoned a Battle Puppet.
It was a level five Battle Puppet. It was covered in golden armor and exuded agility.
He raised his hand and patted the Battle Puppet’s shoulder. Its body trembled, and a crack appeared on the armor on its back.
A black square box with a circumference of half a foot emerged from it.
Compared to the Battle Puppet driving core crafted by Han Muye, this box was noticeably rougher.
Yu Changdao reached out and picked up the Battle Puppet core that Han Muye had refined and placed it on the long table. He rubbed it in his palm, then took out a green-gold crystal the size of a finger and placed it in the groove of the Battle Puppet core.
This was an origin stone, a mid-level one, capable of powering Battle Puppets up to level seven.
For level seven and above, advanced origin stones were needed.
Placing the activation core of the origin stones on the Battle Puppet’s back, the palm-sized Battle Puppet’s core turned into a cloud of mist, filling up the activation core space on the Battle Puppet’s back.
The originally motionless Battle Puppet’s body trembled as it slowly raised its head.
The Battle Puppet’s eyes also emitted a golden glow.
A strange expression appeared on Yu Changdao’s face, He raised his hand and waved his fingertips. The Battle Puppet in front of him also made countless movements.
The 13 judges slowly stood up as spiritual light shone from their bodies.
On the stone platform, a light screen appeared.
A long saber appeared in the agile Battle Puppet’s hand. In a flash, it slashed down.
“Boom—”
The violent wind clashed, shaking the light screen on the stone platform.
Below, Wu Hua narrowed his eyes and said softly, “This strike is formidable, reaching the pinnacle among level six Battle Puppets.”
With the replacement of the driving core, the level five Battle Puppet could unleash the peak power of a level six Battle Puppet.
This meant that the Battle Puppet core crafted by Han Muye had the strength of a level six Battle Puppet.
It also indicated his proficiency as a level six refining master.
On the stone platform, the expressions of the 13 judges turned serious as they approached.
“This Battle Puppet’s strength has increased by at least 50 times.”
“The driving core has enhanced the power of the Battle Puppet, yet the wear and tear on the Battle Puppet hasn’t increased.”
“How did he do it? Increasing the usage rate of origin stones is a difficult problem for all blacksmiths.”
The level nine refining and forging masters around the war puppet stared wide-eyed.
They were just phantoms and couldn’t truly interact with the Battle Puppet.
“Quick, take out the core.” The impatient old man waved the sledgehammer in his hand and growled.
Yu Changdao looked at Han Muye, nodded, and took out the Battle Puppet core.
“Buzz!”
The misty core reformed into a palm-sized one. “Turn reality into illusion?”
“A process with minimal power conversion?”
“What a genius idea!”
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
The old man holding the sledgehammer looked up at Han Muye, took a step forward, and stared at Han Muye’s face. “Kid, ahem, no, it’s Little Brother. Can you teach me how to craft such a Battle Puppet driving core?”
Teach?
A level nine refining and forging master was actually consulting a quasi level six who had just been certified.
This scene left the three titans of the city dumbfounded.
“Fellow Daoist, this is against the rules.” A forging master in a green robe looked at the core in front of him and said calmly.
Of course, it was against the rules.
Every forging master had their own methods.
Every forging master had their own insights.
Han Muye’ s driving core contained his own efforts.
“Without the consent of the refining and forging master himself, those who force him to share the results of his crafting achievements will be expelled from the Alliance,” an old man with a stern expression said in a low voice as he looked at the old man holding the sledgehammer.
The old man’s face froze. He looked at the core and then at the people around him.
After a moment of silence, he put away the sledgehammer and turned to look at Han Muye.”Where can I find you in the city? I’ll come to you.
“l want to be your apprentice.”
Apprenticeship!
A ninth-level artisan craftsman wanting to apprentice himself to a sixth-level artisan craftsman!
Not only did the Judges on the stage have strange expressions on their faces, Ma Mingyuan and the others were also dumbfounded.
Isn’t this a ninth -level refining and forging master who is high above all?
Han Muye looked at the eager old man and smiled, “Let’s finish my certification trial first.’
The old man was a little disappointed.
“Upper.” One of the black-robed judges handed out a top-grade assessment.
The others also issued top-grade assessments.
As for those who came later, they were just here to observe, but they did not have the qualifications to assess.
All assessments from the judges were top-grade.
Han Muye became the fourth level six refining and forging master in Pagoda City.
“Fellow Daoist, your driving core forging technique is very valuable.” An old
man in a greenish-gray robe looked at Han Muye, then opened his palm, revealing a mysterious pattern.
“If you’re interested in selling it, you can look for me.”
The pattern represented the identity of the refining master himself. As long as one was a refining master, one could easily decipher the pattern and find the information contained within.
As the pattern disappeared, the figure of the level nine refining master also vanished.
The others also took out their identity marks and showed them to Han Muye.
The last to leave was the old man holding the long hammer, who not only revealed his identity mark but also repeatedly asked Han Muye to look for him.
When they all left, the other judges glanced at each other, then dispersed..
