Douluo: The God of Craftsman in the Legend of Dragon King

On the east coast of the Sun and Moon Federation, Aolai City.

Aolai City is located on the east coast of the Sun and Moon Federation. Although it is small in area compared to other towns, it is quite rich in resources due to its proximity to the coast.

Located in the core area of ​​the entire Aolai City, in front of a store that does not look very luxurious, there is an endless stream of people coming in and out.

Strangely enough, compared to the brightly decorated buildings around it, an unusually large number of people gathered in front of this plain and simple forging room.

And on the signboard above this forging room, there are five large gilded characters written -

"Mengtian Studio".

This is a medium-sized forging shop with average specifications and decoration.

Although the crowd outside the store was bustling and noisy sounds were coming and going, a rhythmic and brisk tapping sound came from the store, which cleverly drowned out these sounds.

Each of these knocking sounds contains full strength and rich charm, which seems to be able to attract people's hearts.

Even tourists passing by here invariably stopped here after hearing this beautiful melody.

Among these onlookers, there were not only tourists coming to Aolai City, but also neighbors from the surrounding areas, and even a few noble soul masters who, like others, stayed here for a long time and refused to leave.

This is a forging shop, and anyone can hear that this beautiful melody comes from the bursts of metal percussion.

There is no shortage of forging shops anywhere on Douluo Continent. It can be said that they are as common as restaurants and hotels.

But they who were standing here wanted to see what kind of blacksmith could make the usually noisy sound of forging metal become as sweet as music.

After a while, this melodious metal percussion sound stopped, and many people were still a little unfinished.

But even though the forging was over, they still stayed where they were, looking expectantly at the door of the forging shop.

I saw, under the surprised gazes of everyone, a young man with a height of 1.7 meters, a delicate face, wearing a blacksmith suit, and a strong body slowly walked out of the store.

In his hand, he was holding a black forging hammer and a piece of bright metal that looked very heavy.

Undoubtedly, the very melodic percussion sound just now was made by this young man.

Even though his face and body were covered with fine beads of sweat, everyone present could tell at a glance that the age of the young man in front of them was... shockingly young!

For a moment, the noisy crowd was silent for a moment. No one could have imagined that this handsome young man who looked less than ten years old turned out to be a blacksmith!

People with discerning eyes have long been attracted by the piece of pure white metal in his hand. For a moment, they actually took a breath of cold air, and then exclaimed:

"Chen Yin! This is actually Chen Yin, the Chen Yin that cannot be forged by a thousand forgings!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was amazed. Although they were not blacksmiths, they were still more or less clear about the material Chen Yin. After all, the forging of many things requires Chen Yin!

The hardness of immersed silver makes it difficult to cut even with a machine, let alone forge it just by swinging a hammer with your arm.

Before everyone could have a more intense discussion, a taller figure was seen walking out of the forging room behind the young man.

The Ruowuowuowu momentum actually forced many people present to become quiet.

Standing behind the young man was a sturdy man with long hair and a ponytail, and the identity of this man was self-evident.

"Master Mengtian!"

Several neighbors who knew the identity of the man in front of them greeted him warmly.

Seeing this, Mengtian responded with a smile.

Then with that dull voice, he said to everyone:

"Sorry to bother you all, it was my incompetent disciple who was making a breakthrough to the blacksmith level just now. I'm sorry for wasting your time."

As he spoke, his eyes pointed at the young man in front of him. The young man understood and bowed slightly to the crowd in front of him to apologize.

Then, Mengtian spoke again:

"Please give me some face. With all of you blocking the door like this, my business will be hard to do."

After hearing this, the pedestrians stationed in front of the store also understood the implication of Mengtian's words, and left the store one after another, making way for people to walk.

"It turns out that he is a disciple of Master Mengtian. That's what I said. I thought young people today are so scary, haha!"

Just after the pedestrians left, an old man with a kind face who seemed to be very familiar with Mengtian was looking at Mengtian and the young man in front of him with a smile.

Seeing this old man, even Mengtian, a sixth-level master blacksmith, was slightly startled, and then responded with a smile:

"Mr. Duan, why didn't you notify me in advance when you came so that I could go and greet you?"

Hearing Mengtian's polite words, Mr. Duan just smiled, but his eyes stayed on the young man in front of him, and then he said to the young man in front of him:

"This kid, doesn't he know your name yet?"

Seeing that the topic suddenly turned to him, the young man was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile:

"Hello, old gentleman, my name is Luo Chen, Chen from the sea of ​​stars!"

"Luochen...that's a good name. It looks like you're not very old. Tell me, how long have you been studying blacksmithing with Meng Tian Xue?"

The old man nodded, and then spoke again, his words full of kindness towards Luochen.

Hearing this, Luo Chen first turned his eyes to Mengtian beside him. Seeing Mengtian nodding, he responded:

"I'm not afraid of the old man's jokes. I'm nine and a half years old this year. I've been an orphan for as long as I can remember. When I was three years old, I came to Aotian City just to make a living. The teacher saw how pitiful I was, so he took me in, and he taught me everything he wanted. Forging, it’s been six full years.”

"After only six years of study, you have already mastered Thousand Forgings and become a third-level blacksmith... Yes, he is a good prospect!"

After hearing what Luo Chen said, Mr. Duan first glanced at the piece of pure white metal in Luo Chen's hand, and then nodded in approval.

What Luo Chen didn't notice was that while he was talking to Mr. Duan, Meng Tian beside him, although his expression did not change at all, his hands slowly tightened.

Even though this action was extremely obscure, Mr. Duan, who was over fifty years old, noticed it and smiled. Then, a small golden card appeared in his hand, as well as a card with three golden stars inlaid in it. badge.

"Kid, this is the first time we meet. I don't have any gifts worth giving, so I'll give you these two gadgets as a meeting gift."

With that said, he handed the card and badge to Luo Chen's hand.

Seeing these two things, Mengtian, who was standing behind Luo Chen, couldn't help but narrow his eyes and said hastily:

"Mr. Duan, isn't this a little too fast?"

"It's okay, it's just a little gadget. I didn't expect that I would meet such an interesting little guy when I was just casually strolling around. Haha, I won't stay any longer. Little guy, we will meet again in the future."

As Mr. Duan spoke, his eyes lingered on Luo Chen again for a moment, and then he turned and left the store with a smile, leaving only Meng Tian with a frown on his face, and Luo Chen who was looking at the card in deep thought...
