Chapter 1214

Lin Cheng clapped his hands and smiled in satisfaction.

But apart from Lin Cheng, the entire hall fell deathly silent. From President Huoerde above to the testing room staff and the other forgemasters outside the door, the same question hung in everyone's mind—how did he do it?

"Wh-what is going on?" President Huoerde was still the first to recover. With his own skill, carving an ice beauty naturally wouldn't be much worse than Lin Cheng's, but Lin Cheng had only struck that one hammer blow!

President Huoerde had never heard of such forging technique in his life—it was simply divine!

"Sorry, family heirloom secret technique, not to be passed on!" Lin Cheng said with a deliberately mysterious smile.

"Alright."

President Huoerde sighed. He knew Lin Cheng's background and could only take it as some special technique that the Tut family once possessed when they were court master craftsmen.

Such a divinely miraculous hammering method was too stunning for the world; keeping it secret was perfectly normal.

For this test, Lin Cheng passed with a high score, as expected.

As said before, a thousand people have a thousand aesthetics; everyone views beauty differently.

But even so, Lin Cheng's divinely miraculous single-hammer shaping of the ice sculpture still amazed everyone.

"Right, President, may I take this ice sculpture with me? It's carved in the likeness of my beloved."

"Of course." President Huoerde agreed without a second thought.

It was worthless ice to begin with, and Lin Cheng had carved his own beloved into it—emotionally and rationally, there was no reason to keep it. Leaving this ice beauty sculpture at the guild would only let it melt; better to do a favor.

Thinking this, President Huoerde even gave Lin Cheng ten magic scrolls.

"Among them is a first-tier magic, Freezing Spell—quite good for preventing the ice sculpture from melting."

"Thank you very much, President."

"Mm, let's move on to the next test. Let me see where your limits lie."

The fourth evaluation.

It was weapon and equipment repair—Lin Cheng's strongest suit!

The rules were simple too: as long as he repaired one damaged weapon and one damaged set of armor within the allotted time, he passed.

The magic array produced the damaged weapon and armor. Lin Cheng immediately conjured spell-fire in his hand, fused the broken weapon and armor together, added repair materials, and reforged them on the spot.
