Chapter 2201 A Terrifying Number Of Materials! The Academy Arbitration Association Assessment! (2)
"This is Senior Brother Wu Shen, a sixth-level grandmaster blacksmith! He's a genius from our Smithery Volcano!" Before the burly young man could speak, someone behind him preemptively introduced.
"Sixth-level grandmaster!" Wang Teng looked at the burly young man in astonishment. Despite appearing relatively young, he was a sixth-level grandmaster blacksmith.
"It's Senior Wu Shen!"
"That genius blacksmith, I heard he reached sixth grandmaster level only a few years after entering the grandmaster level."
"Last time, one of our senior sisters on the top 100 universe-stage martial warriors ranking specifically asked for Senior Brother Wu Shen's help in forging a weapon. He ended up crafting a grandmaster seventh-level battle sword and attracted a lightning calamity. The spectacle was truly magnificent!"
"I know about this. At first, that senior sister only wanted a sixth-rank grandmaster-level battle sword. In the end, Senior Brother Wu Shen managed to forge a seventh-rank grandmaster level one. The senior sister was almost moved to tears."
"That's right, moved to tears!"
"Senior Brother Wu Shen's talent in blacksmithing is truly remarkable!"
…
The discussions around him heightened Wang Teng's astonishment. The burly young man before him was indeed a genius capable of forging weapons of superior quality, a truly rare find.
"Senior Wu Shen, why are you looking for me?" Wang Teng asked.
"If you're here for weapon forging, I can take care of it for you," Wu Shen said with a smile.
He was present during the Grand Disciple Acceptance Ceremony. A talent like Wang Teng was an excellent candidate for him to pull over.
Hearing that Wu Shen was willingly offering to forge a weapon for Wang Teng, envy filled the hearts of the onlookers.
Even if they were willing to pay a significant price, they might not be able to enlist Wu Shen's services.
Geniuses like him usually only served other exceptional talents or powerful individuals.
"Erm…" Wang Teng found it a bit amusing. Someone was unexpectedly offering to forge a weapon for him. This was a complete misunderstanding.
"What's the matter, junior brother? Is there anything inconvenient for you?" Wu Shen inquired.
"It's not that. I'm here today not for forging. I just want to see if they have some specific materials I need," Wang Teng explained.
"No worries about that. We have all sorts of materials here at the Smithery Volcano. Follow me," Wu Shen said with a hearty laugh. He assumed that Wang Teng wasn't familiar with the Smithery Volcano's resources and the abundance of precious metals available for purchase with sufficient points.
Wang Teng didn't doubt Wang Teng's spending capacity, so he led him into the administrative grand hall.
Wang Teng shook his head and smiled, following the overly enthusiastic senior into the grand hall and approaching the counter.
"Hey, Rugina, I brought a big client for you," Wu Shen lounged on the counter, addressing the curvaceous woman behind it.
"Wu Shen, get as far away from me as you can. I don't have time to entertain you," the voluptuous woman retorted, rolling her eyes without a trace of friendliness.
"Erm…" Wu Shen scratched his head and said, "This time, I'm not joking. This is Wang Teng. You should know him. He's here to exchange materials."
He stepped aside, revealing Wang Teng behind him.
These physique cultivators had incredibly robust bodies, making Wang Teng seem quite petite in comparison. Just now, his figure had been entirely obscured by the towering individuals in front of him, making it impossible for those ahead to see him.
"Junior Wang Teng!" Rugina's eyes lit up when she saw Wang Teng's figure behind her.
She recognized him and finally believed Wu Shen's words. This time, he seemed to have brought someone reliable.
"Hello, senior sister. I'd like to see if you have these materials." Wang Teng handed her a list.
Seeing the dense list of materials, Rugina was momentarily stunned. Her crimson lips slightly parted – this seemed like an excessive amount!
Even Wu Shen, standing nearby, looked stunned. What kind of weapon required such an extensive array of materials?
"Junior Wang Teng, are you planning to forge numerous kinds of weapons?" He inquired.
"No, just one!" Wang Teng replied.
"One weapon requires this many materials?" Wu Shen widened his eyes, wearing an expression that clearly said, 'Are you kidding me?'
Having studied Smithery for many years, he had never seen a weapon requiring such an extensive array of materials. It contradicted the basic principles of forging.
Rugina, equally bewildered, stared with astonishment. Although this was indeed a significant customer, the list was just too extensive. The densely packed materials listed above made her unsure if she could find everything.
"Please help me find them. If some are unavailable, just let me know." Wang Teng nodded at Rugina.
"O-Okay!" Rugina regained her composure, looking at him oddly. She stammered a bit.
"What kind of weapon are you trying to forge? Can you at least give me a hint?" Wu Shen couldn't believe there was a weapon in the universe that required this many materials. He couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"It's a secret!" Wang Teng chuckled.
"Alright," Wu Shen shrugged, resigned. "I was considering helping you forge it, but judging by the quantity of materials, I'm afraid I won't be of much help."
"No worries. I just want to take a look at the materials for now. This weapon won't be forged anytime soon," Wang Teng said.
Seeing his serious expression, Wu Shen started to believe him, but curiosity burned even more intensely in his heart.
What kind of weapon required such an abundance of materials?
