I don't have soul skills, I can kill Douluo

Riding alone was obviously much faster than a horse-drawn carriage. After five days, Lin Manshan finally returned to Notting City.

He sold the big yellow horse to the inn, went home, cleaned up the house that had been unoccupied for the next half month, took a shower, and went straight to the blacksmith shop.

After greeting each other for a while, Lin Manshan went straight to the point, "Uncle Tieshan, I'm going to go to Gengxin City in two days."

"This relationship is great. Aman, do you need me to accompany you?" Tieshan looked happy.

"No need, Uncle Tieshan. I'm just going to be certified as a blacksmith. There's no danger." Lin Manshan said with a smile.

"Yes." Tieshan nodded and said with a smile: "In that case, Aman, then you can go with the purchasing caravan organized by our Notting City Blacksmith Branch in a few days. The Notting City Blacksmith Branch is our Notting City Blacksmith Branch." A group organized by the city's blacksmiths, they will collectively organize a caravan at the beginning of every month to go to Gengxin City in the Star Luo Empire to purchase metal ore."

"My blacksmith shop is small, and I usually help the surrounding civilians buy farm tools, furniture, etc., and many of them are trade-ins for old ones, and the metal consumption is not large, so I usually make a list and let the purchasing caravan help carry some. There are still 9 days until the next caravan departure. I will go and tell the leader of this caravan later, and you can just follow me."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Uncle Tieshan." Lin Manshan said politely.

"It's a small matter." Tieshan waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's right, Aman, Uncle Tie is waiting for good news from you."

"Well, I will take the assessment seriously." Lin Manshan said seriously.

Tieshan shook his head and said seriously: "Aman, there is no need to feel pressure, just perform normally. As a soul master, you should spend more time on training now. As for learning to cast, take your time. You are still young. In the future, you will have plenty of time to slowly hone your casting skills. Don’t worry, your Uncle Tie can live for at least a few more decades, so you can afford to wait.”

"I know, Uncle Tieshan. I know it well," Lin Manshan said with a warm heart.

Tieshan's dark and red face forced a smile and nodded, "That's good."

After chatting for a while, Lin Manshan said goodbye and left.

After returning home, he got into the forging room, banged and banged, and made a black ghost-faced iron leather sheath to seal the soul bone of his head tightly. He is about to go to a new environment, and he must be fully prepared to avoid all possible accidents and troubles.

After doing all this, plunge into compact daily practice again.

Nine days later, in early July, after paying the fare, Lin Manshan got into the caravan and slowly headed towards the border of the empire. Gengxin City, like Notting City, is located on the southwest side of the two empires. It can be said that they are across the border from each other. The distance is not too far. If everything goes well, it can be reached in ten days. Because there was a road guide, except that the tolls were relatively expensive, the caravan's journey was smooth and they arrived on time.

After passing the inspection, the carriage drove into the city wall with a heavy metallic smell. Lin Manshan opened the curtain and looked around. Most of the main buildings on both sides were made of bricks made of clay, and were fixed with various metal decorations around them. They looked extremely beautiful. Rough and thick.

"So many blacksmith shops." Lin Manshan clicked his tongue. Looking along the way, he saw at least dozens of blacksmith shops.

"That's natural. Gengxin City is the city with the most blacksmith shops on the mainland. According to statistics, there are more than a thousand blacksmiths and tens of thousands of blacksmiths. Blacksmiths from many places will come here specifically to undergo blacksmith assessments. Only those who become senior blacksmiths can stay. in this city.

Aman, that guy from Tieshan told me that you are very talented as a blacksmith. You have to perform well later. At your age, if you can be certified as a senior blacksmith, it will really make our blacksmiths in Notting City look good. "A middle-aged man beside him said cheerfully.

"Uncle Mo, I will work hard." Lin Manshan nodded.

The man beside him is the leader of the caravan and a blacksmith in Notting City.

"Yeah." The man nodded and looked away, "We're just ahead, Aman. I'll take you to take the assessment in person later. Hehe, that guy from Tieshan blew your mind to the sky in front of me. I You have to see with your own eyes whether he is bragging."

"." Lin Manshan opened his mouth and finally replied, "Then I'll trouble Uncle Mo."

Not long after, the carriage stopped, and Lin Manshan jumped out of the carriage with the middle-aged man. Looking up, he saw a huge building more than thirty meters high with a sheen of steel. There was a dark plaque hanging directly above it, without any words, only a raised pattern consisting of a hammer and a chisel crossed. There were no gorgeous decorations around it. When I looked back, there was not even a gate guard.

The three doors were completely open, and there was a steady stream of people coming and going.

"Let's go." The middle-aged man led the way and introduced as he walked, "The Blacksmiths Association is divided into five floors. The first floor is the trading area. The second floor is the advanced trading area. The third floor is for registration. Assessment area.”

Walking into the door, the fully open hall is bustling. The outermost area against the wall is a variety of counters, filled with various metal ores and blacksmith's cast products. Customers stop and go, surrounding the counters layer by layer.

"It's really lively." Lin Manshan sighed.

"That's natural, this is the general meeting." The middle-aged man smiled, turned around and told everyone accompanying him the time and place to gather, then turned to look at Lin Manshan, "Aman, let's go, I will take you to the third floor."

"Okay!" Lin Manshan nodded and followed suit.

Going all the way up, they explained the situation to the guards at the stairs, and the two of them successfully reached the third floor.

The layout of the third floor is extremely simple. Except for a small counter in the center, it is surrounded by closed rooms.

Approaching the counter, behind him was a burly man leaning on a chair. The moment he saw the burly man, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly became respectful, "I've seen Master Sidi. I'm here to take this kid to test the blacksmith. Please help me make arrangements."

"Oh?" Sidi stood up immediately after hearing this, "I have so much free time, let me take charge."

After saying that, he shook his body, walked around the counter, and strode towards one of the rooms with a window on the door reflecting the light of the fire.

As he walked, he waved back, "Follow me."

"Okay." The middle-aged man responded quickly, leading Lin Manshan to follow quickly.

The two walked into the door. Inside was a forging room with a very simple layout and a roaring fire. Sidi walked straight to the fire, picked up a piece of pig iron and threw it in. Then he turned around and said, "Child, come here."

Lin Manshan nodded and walked forward.

"Blowing air to assist fire is also a basic ability of a blacksmith, and hammering pig iron is the basis of forging. So, next you must heat the pig iron with your own hands, and then hammer the pig iron in front of me. The limit of what you can temper. And after the tempering is completed, the final quality of this piece of pig iron will determine the result of your first assessment."

After saying that, Sidi stepped aside and said, "Come on, let's get started."

"Yes!" Lin Manshan nodded, walked quickly to the blower, rolled up his sleeves, grabbed the handle, and pushed and pulled rhythmically.

The fire was blazing, Lin Manshan was pushing and pulling while adding charcoal, and the surrounding air quickly became extremely hot.

The color of the pig iron in the charcoal fire also began to gradually change from the original dark gray to bright orange.

"Not bad! The movements and strength are perfect." Sidi's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Not long after, Lin Manshan stopped, picked up the iron clip from the side, picked up the pig iron and quickly placed it on the forging platform not far away.

Then he picked up the hammer placed on the ground next to him, adjusted his movements, and swung it rhythmically.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang"

The crashing sounds came one after another, like the beating of a heart, and like thunder in the sky, getting more and more intense.

"!!!?" Sidi was stunned for a moment, then with a glint in his eyes, he took small steps to the middle-aged man's side, leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what is this child's name? How old is he today? Is it you? Disciple?"

"No." The middle-aged man was also dumbfounded and shook his head blankly, "He is a blacksmith apprentice in a civilian blacksmith shop in our Notting City. His name is Aman..."

"Orphan? Not even...cough cough cough" Sidi almost screamed, but still swallowed it.

After checking the look, this is something I can't grasp. I'm not even a master blacksmith now. Even if I succeed in taking this kid in, what if the teacher knows that I'm teaching such a good kid? I will definitely be sprayed with blood, scolded for misleading my disciples, and maybe even beaten up. Sidi looked tangled for a moment, then turned to look at the middle-aged man with a solemn expression.

"You stay here and watch for now. I'll come as soon as I can."

"Oh. Okay." The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly.

Before he finished speaking, Sidi had already slipped out of the room quickly.

At this time, the middle-aged man finally realized that Master Sidi suddenly left a message and ran away. This was obviously because he couldn't control it and went out to scare people. "Damn it! That guy from Tieshan is not bragging. This guy is really a good candidate for a blacksmith job. His talent is so good! What should I do now? Master Sidi is obviously looking for the master craftsman Lou Gao to dig him up. I’m a disciple.”

Sidi is Lou Gao's direct disciple. If he can't grasp it, who else can he turn to?

After being silent for a while, his expression softened and he said, "I'm just helping to bring people here, the others don't care about me."

Clang, clang, clang, Lin Manshan looked serious, and the beating sound continued.

After a while, there was a creak, and the door was opened, and then a series of footsteps came.

The middle-aged man turned around and saw that there were already three middle-aged men, three middle-aged men, and four strong men standing beside him.

Looking at it with naked eyes, it seemed as if I was seeing a rare treasure.

"." The middle-aged man trembled all over and subconsciously took two steps to the side.

Not long after, "Bang!" followed by a loud noise, and the room fell into silence.

Everyone looked around and saw that the volume of pig iron on the forging platform had been reduced by one-third from its original size.

Lin Manshan wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to raise his head when suddenly, a round belly appeared in front of him.
