Chapter 123 - Guildmaster Zeros
6-star master forger. This was the symbol of the strength of the Blacksmith Guild! This old man was excluding a grandeur manner like he was the master of all. His sharp gaze made everyone feel a bit of fear except Jin Rou.
"Who broke the ball?" The old man did not bush to the bush, asking who was the perpetrator right away. His eyes were roaming as if trying to find him.
"I did not break the ball! It was an accident!" Jin Rou defended. It was really an accident, right?
"So it's you." The old man sized up Jin Rou, "I am the guildmaster of this guild, Zeros. What is your name?"
When Zeros sized up Jin Rou, he did not find anything powerful or felt odd towards this young man. In fact, he only felt this was just a normal man. But for some unknown reason, he felt that there was something wrong.
"I really did not break the ball. I just touched it and it reacted that way!" Jin Rou defended again. He was like an innocent child who had been accused of stealing someone's toy out of nowhere.
"I did not say that you broke it. I just asked, right?" Zeros smiled, "In fact, I know that you did not break the ball by will. So it just meant one thing, your forging potential is above what the ball could measure."
"What?!" Everyone was shocked as they heard this. Even Miyu Dong who already thought of this possibility was still shocked. After all, it was the guildmaster who said it so!
"So I was right." She mumbled to herself. She found this unbelievable. To think that there was someone who was more than a genius than her? It irritated her a bit.
Selestine, who was shocked, asked the guildmaster, "Guildmaster! It's... it's a bit unbelievable! How come someone with that young age had an unmeasurable forging potential?"
She had a point. If it's a middle-aged experienced man who had an unmeasurable forging potential, then it was logically believable. However, a man in his 20s? For her, that's a bit absurd. If anyone told her this story, she will definitely not believe it.
"Well, you have a point there, but the world is too vast to be explored, right? After all, this world has full of wonders, to begin with since an Immortal created it. So, this, though unbelievable, do we have any choice other than accept it? No matter how much we deny it, it's right in our face and you especially had seen the entire scenario." Zeros smiled. At first, he also found this unbelievable, however, as someone like him who experienced countless things, this was still in the range of something he could believe as time passed by. Not to mention, he was elated right now since his guild got someone who was a one in a billion genius! After all, no one had reached the point where the ball could not measure one's forging potential. This was worth a celebration!
"If you say so." Selestine did not pursue the matter anymore. But she was still not believing this. This was way out of logic. She was thinking that probably, this young man had used something to break the ball. But of course, this was only a mere speculation without grounds.
"Alright, your name is Jin Rou, right? Well, congratulations on passing the test! I think you don't need to undergo the last examination since your unmeasurable forging potential had said it all." Zeros said with a joyful expression. It was like he won a jackpot.
"Thank you." Jin Rou sighed a relief. It seemed that though he caused a bit commotion, he still passed the test and all is well. That was what mattered the most.
Miyu Dong gave him a sharp glance without saying anything. Of course, he noticed this but did not mind it all.
Jumong Hualing, who was on the side silently watching everything, ran up to Jin Rou and said, " Big Brother! You are amazing! Amazing! You're now my idol!" He rained compliments with sparkling eyes.
This was Jumong's true feelings. He was feeling great and abundant admiration for Jin Rou, who was claimed to have an unmeasurable forging potential.
"?!" Jin Rou was not prepared for this and thus stupefied.
"Say something, Big Brother!" Jumong Hualing continued pestering him, "Or perhaps can you give me some pointers to achieve what you achieve? I wanted to be a master forger as soon as possible like you and that old man in a black cloak!" Since Jumong Hualing could not see through Miyu Dong, he assumed that it was an old man.
"Old man?" Miyu Dong was enraged as she heard this. She had never expected that there would be someone who would call her an old man! She tried to hold herself back. If not, she could turn this pig head in a literal pig.
"I don't have any pointers to give you." After recovering from his shock, Jin Rou said, "Since I, too, don't know it until now."
"Hehehe. It seems that you just don't want it to be exposed yet. Very well, I will not pursue the matter... for now." Saying that Jumong Hualing walked away jumping with his fat stomach bouncing back and forth.
"Alright, you two, come with me." Guildmaster Zeros looked at Jin Rou and Miyu Dong, "I will distribute your respective badges in my office."
After the guildmaster and the two left, Selestine was tasked to hold the final examination for the last four examinees.
Inside the office, Guildmaster Zeros was sitting opposite to Jin Rou and the well-hidden Miyu Dong.
"Very well then, before I distribute the badges, I will say something first." Guildmaster Zeros looked at Miyu Dong and said, "Princess Miyu, no matter how expensive and great that cloak was, it cannot deceive my eyes. So you can have your cloak removed here."
"Princess?" Jin Rou was slightly surprised to hear this as he involuntarily looked towards Miyu Dong.
Miyu Dong was silent for a moment after saying, "As expected of Blacksmith Guild's Guildmaster, I cannot hide to you." She remove d her cloak and revealed a stunning world-toppling beauty!
