Chapter 333: Star Fall Training Ground

“Five elements? Fine!”

“Today, old man I’m going crazy with you!”

As Mo Qianjun finished speaking.

Feng Cangqiong, standing nearby, first froze in surprise.

Then he couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

“Hahaha!”

“You sneaky old Mo!”

Feng Cangqiong laughed, shaking his head.

“I’ve always known your old bones harbor just as much madness as this kid.”

Hearing Feng Cangqiong’s teasing.

Mo Qianjun also smiled, his eyes filled with anticipation:

“Feng the old ghost, you don’t understand blacksmiths.”

He turned his head, fixing his gaze on the massive Starfire Furnace ahead.

“A forbidden-grade specialized weapon with five-element perfect traits...”

“If it truly succeeds...”

“Then my life will have been worth living!”

Hearing this.

Lin Mo smiled faintly.

He looked at the fanatical master blacksmith and said:

“Then I’m counting on you, Master Mo.”

As he spoke, Lin Mo bowed slightly.

Watching Lin Mo’s mix of strength and courtesy, Mo Qianjun grew fonder by the moment.

He waved his hand.

“No trouble.”

“To be honest, the five-element traits depend entirely on you.”

“If you can truly maintain absolute balance while outputting full power across all five elements...”

“Then this weapon’s success is thanks to you—I’m just along for the ride.”

Mo Qianjun said with a grin.

Then he took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.

“Enough talk.”

Mo Qianjun turned to his five stunned apprentices and barked:

“What are you all standing around for?”

“Ignite the furnace!”

“Prepare the array!”

“Phase One smelting—begin now!”

At his command.

The five SSS-ranked blacksmiths finally snapped to attention.

They quickly stilled their shock and sprang into action.

Forging a forbidden-grade specialized weapon was extremely complex and tedious.

Just the first phase—smelting and reshaping—would take over ten hours.

And during those hours, constant focus and precise temperature control were mandatory; any inexperience could ruin the materials entirely.

In an instant.

The entire forging hall erupted into motion.

“Array core in position!”

“Earth vein fire drawn!”

“Maximum heating—preparing!”

BOOM—!!!

The earth vein fire beneath the Starfire Furnace surged violently!

A terrifying wave of heat swept through the hall.

Watching this scene.

Feng Cangqiong turned to Lin Mo beside him.

“Alright, Lin Mo.”

“Phase One is melting the Divine Casting Stone and the legendary weapon to form the embryo.”

“We’ve got nothing to do here now.”

“Leave it to Master Mo and his team.”

Feng Cangqiong checked the time.

“It’ll take at least until tomorrow to finish Phase One.”

Saying this,

Feng Cangqiong smiled.

“Since we’re just sitting idle anyway.”

“It’s not that late yet.”

“Let’s go.”

“Find a quiet spot—I’ll give you a few pointers on your wind skills, which have gone a bit off-track.”

Hearing this,

Lin Mo’s eyes lit up instantly.

Personal guidance from a Wind Sovereign.

Free lesson?

Of course he’d accept!

Besides,

He genuinely wanted to see what a true top-tier Wind Sovereign’s high-grade technique looked like in action.

And it’d be good for Little Wind, that fool, to finally get some proper exposure.

“Sure, let’s go.”

Lin Mo nodded.

Meanwhile,

Mo Qianjun, standing nearby and watching the Starfire Furnace, had also heard Feng Cangqiong’s words.

Without turning, he called out:

“Yunshang!”

Jiang Yunshang, controlling the array, immediately turned.

“Master, I’m here.”

Mo Qianjun ordered:

“Take Lin Mo and the others to the ‘Star Fall Training Ground’ behind Qianjian Street.”

“The ground there’s sturdy enough for anything.”

Hearing this order,

Jiang Yunshang hesitated.

“Master...”

She was uncertain.

“But... the furnace is at a critical stage, and the auxiliary array—”

After all, this was the forging of a forbidden-grade specialized weapon.

Losing even one person would double the burden on the others.

Mo Qianjun saw her worry and waved his hand:

“It’s fine.”

“Go.”

“Just Phase One smelting—I’m watching personally, and with Wei Yan and Xiao Li and the other three, it’s more than enough.”

“You four—can you handle it?”

Mo Qianjun turned to his other four apprentices.

“We can, Master!”

The four answered in unison.

Hearing this, Jiang Yunshang finally exhaled in relief.

She bowed respectfully.

“Yes, Master.”

Then.

She turned and walked toward Feng Cangqiong and Lin Mo.

“Feng Lao, Lin Mo, Master Yan.”

Jiang Yunshang made a gesture of invitation.

“Please follow me.”

……

……

Not long after.

Jiang Yunshang led the three through the back gate of Qianjun Pavilion.

Following a path of blue stone, they reached the deepest part of Qian Duan Street.

The view suddenly opened up.

Before Lin Mo’s eyes appeared an enormous open-air training ground.

Its area was fully the size of two soccer fields.

Around it rose walls built of black stone, each over ten meters high.

The walls glowed with flowing runes—clearly protected by an active defensive array.

Lin Mo looked around.

The entire training ground was lined with rows of wooden stakes.

On the left side stood rows of relatively small, compact stakes.

On the right stood towering, massive stakes, each ten meters tall.

“Feng Lao.”

Jiang Yunshang stopped and turned to Feng Cangqiong, nodding slightly.

“We’re here.”

“This is the Shuixing Training Ground.”

Feng Cangqiong stood with his hands behind his back, scanning the training ground.

“Heh.”

“I didn’t expect.”

“Your Zhuxing Town has such a fine place.”

“This setup rivals even the Imperial University’s or our Mage Association’s training grounds.”

Hearing Feng Cangqiong’s comment,

Jiang Yunshang bowed her head slightly and replied with perfect poise:

“Feng Lao, your eye is sharp.”

She lifted her head and explained patiently:

“As the largest forging center in Longguo,

we frequently produce high-quality weapons, and many clients demand immediate power tests upon receiving them.”

Jiang Yunshang gestured to the surroundings.

“So several years ago, my Master spent tens of billions to completely renovate this training ground—to allow clients to fully test their new weapons’ power.”

Hearing this,

Lin Mo couldn’t help but be stunned internally.

Tens of billions to renovate a training ground?

These forgers really are all rich people…

Feng Cangqiong nodded upon hearing this.

“Good, good. Old Mo has vision.”

Then,

he smiled at Jiang Yunshang and asked casually:

“But.”

“The technique I’m about to demonstrate may be quite powerful.”

“If I accidentally damage these wooden stakes…”

“Is that alright?”

Hearing Feng Lao’s question,

Jiang Yunshang maintained her faint smile.

“Feng Lao, you worry too much.”

“It’s fine.”

She said generously:

“Here, wooden stakes are frequently damaged.”

“They’re just normal consumables.”

“We have many spares in storage.”

“Please use them freely.”

Hearing this, Feng Cangqiong finally smiled in relief.

“Good.”

“Then it’s settled.”
