Oscar: Okay fine

I then stood up and got my dark cloak that I had used to save ning rong rong with, after putting it in my storage space, I then lifted my bed off of its stand. And there they were, the weapons that I had made so far, a sword, a mask (Imagine kaneki's mask, except its white with teeth of a wolf and without any eye patch on the right side), and eight daggers that had purple coating on it's edges. I then equipped my weapons and put my mask into my storage as well. I then left my room and slowly made my way to the entrance; however long tian saw me, and I had already come up with a good excuse to escape.

Long tian: Huh? Big bro where are you going

Oscar: Oh, hey long tian, I'm just going out for a breather

Long tian: Hey, you seem edgy are you ok

Oscar: Yeah, I'm fine, no need to worry ok

Long tian: Ok

Long tian knew that something was going on with Oscar, but he knew that it was probably something personal, so he decided to back off. He then went to open the entrance for Oscar and saw him off.

Long tian: Hey big bro

Long tian: Be careful

Oscar: I will

Long tian then closed the entrance as he still stood there with a look of worry in his eyes, however as he turned he saw his master Lou Gao standing in front of him.

Long tian: Old man Oscar he-

Lou Gao: I know, he probably has something to do and does not want us to get involved

Long tian: But will he be okay

Lou Gao: He will but first, Long Yun why don't you come out.

Long Yun was surprised but knowing his master he felt that it made sense for him to know that he was hiding.

Long tian: Yun you weren't asleep yet

Long Yun: I was but I then heard the entrance opening so I decided to check it out, but anyways old man what do you mean that Big bro O would be okay.

Lou Gao: I will tell you but first let me ask you what rank do you think Oscar has become

Long tian: uh? probably rank 30, right?

Lou Gao: No

Both Long tian and Long Yun were shocked by what Lou Gao said, as this meant Oscar was not a rank 30 which is already considered an unbelievable talent even in the top schools.

Long Yun: Okay then rank 40

Lou Gao: A little bit higher

Both Long tian and Long Yun were shocked at what their master just said, since Oscar was not a rank 40 then he was probably between a rank 40-50.

Long tian: Holy Shit, big bro is that talented he is not even 10 years old yet and he is almost a rank 50 spirit elder. However what kind of spirit do you think he has, hmm I wonder.

Long Yun: Me too but if he has this much talent why does he not attend the top high-ranking schools instead of becoming a blacksmith

Lou Gao quickly smacked Long Yun in the head before he replied to his question since he was offended by it.

Long Yun: Ow what the hell was that for old man.

Lou Gao: For that rhetorical question of yours, do you think that learning to become a blacksmith is bad

Long Yun: No but I think that it would be way better to enter some of those schools without all the labour of becoming a blacksmith

Long Yun probably meant something else when he said that and both Long tian and Lou Gao understood what he meant

Lou Gao: Listen I know that what happened with your father was not your fault but-

Long Yun: Whatever old man lets just stay on topic how did you know that Oscar is between rank 40 or 50

Lou Gao felt torn when he saw the expression that Long Yun had at the moment when he mentioned his father, Long tian knew that what happened with their father was not Long Yuns fault. In fact, he knew that he blamed himself for It, but he never did blame him after all, they were still young at that time.

Lou Gao: Okay, well one month from when Oscar began living with us, I saw him refining a few of the metals that I had given him. However, I was shocked when he had only released his spirit essence just for a second, I then felt that the spirit essence he released was the same as a rank 40 spirit elder. Also, when I had eaten every single one of his food I noticed that there was a trace of spirit essence in it, but just this evening when I eaten the noodle he made I had made a breakthrough from being a rank 73 spirit saint into a rank 74. From what I know so far, I am sure that Oscar's spirit essence is 10 times purer than any rank 40 at the moment in fact he just might be between a rank 40 and 50.

Long tian and long Yun were shocked at what Lou Gao just said but they knew that whatever Oscar was doing, none of them could help. As their masters' spirit was only a pen, and theirs was only a hammer and ore, meaning that none of it was made for combat. So now the only thing they could helplessly do was wait now for Oscar to return.

What they did not know was that Oscar could become a rank 50 instantly if he continued cultivating, however he needed to find a suitable spirit beast for when he did. However, that would not happen as he was too busy perfecting his hammer technique and grinding the blacksmith manual. Anyways back to Oscar, as he left the fortress he had already put his cloak on and mask on his face as he disappears the next second.
