Chapter 662: Common Hammer? (1/2)

The young man was none other than one of Edmond's adopted children, Dark flame.

Compared to other young cultivators, Dark flame had a very high affinity with the fire element which made him learn some good fire techniques which help him in forging or alchemy.

To him, alchemy was a mystery.

Also, he had a huge impact on forging after seeing someone forge a weapon in front of his eyes.

However, he didn't use the first two things to learn the forging; instead, whenever he got time, he would just perform the set of movements that the forging master did from his childhood and wanted to get enlightened.

Later with the help of Edmond, he studied some books relating to that and had gained some knowledge but he was still not close to becoming a rank 1 forging master.

'As long as I prove my interest in the profession, I might get the chance of becoming Elder Esmund's disciple,'

Looking at Elder Esmund, who was the Zrochester province's number one forging master and thought in his head.

'Before the six vagrant cultivators disappeared, Elder Esmund was at peak rank 4 forging master. I wonder whether he had a breakthrough and reached rank 5 or not?'

Moreover, he started guessing Elder Esmund's rank in forging materials.

”So, let's not waste any more time with the talking and start the trial,”

Soon, Elder Esmund took out 14 similar looking hammers along with black metal blocks from his storage ring.

”In this trial, there are not many rules and regulations. All you have to do is to hit the metal block as many times as possible,”

After tossing the hammers and metal blocks in front of the young cultivators, Elder Esmund continued, ”The one who hits the more number of hits on the metal block will be getting a good reward.”

After finishing his words, Elder Esmund didn't stay there any longer as he returned to the other vagrant cultivators to discuss about the young cultivators.

'Looks like I can try my best in this trial,'

'I thought, he would ask us to create some weapon or artifact. Since it is just hitting the metal, I can try it out,'

'I think, if we win in this trial, the Elder Esmund might even take us as his personal disciple and teach us all his forging techniques,'

'Right! Just like how Elder Elek took Lewis and Jeff,'

After getting the information about the trial, the earlier depressed looks on the young cultivators' faces turned into exciting looks.

Earlier, they felt the trial would be difficult; however, with Elder Esmund's clear explanation regarding the trial, they felt they could try their best.

'Since the one who hits the metal block more number of times is going to win, then isn't the cultivator with high cultivation going to have an advantage over us?'

'Sigh...I hope Elder Esmund must have taken this into consideration while giving us this trial,'

However, some young cultivators looked at Levi and Paulin who had the cultivations of the elite general realm and general realm respectively and whispered to one another.

Everyone including the vagrant cultivators, Edmond, Udo and all the young cultivators knew the cultivation of Levi and Paulin. So, they felt the trial might be advantageous to them because this trial is related to strength.

Nevertheless, they didn't bother much about it as they felt that the vagrant cultivators knew what they were doing.

Soon, the young cultivators started their trial by picking a black hammer.

However, there was one young cultivator, whose facial expression changed from excited to shocked.

'Sigh...I have to forget about everything and try my best,'

Dark flame shook his head as he started the trial without wasting any time.

”Nice hammer,”

As for Ajax, he casually picked the black hammer in front of him and carefully observed it.
