Liu Yikai, Jing Youyou, Wu Yong, and Li Hao.
Other than Lin Feng, these four were the ones who passed all four rounds of training.
Looking back, Lin Feng's appearance made their eyes light up. Even Lin Yumo and Lin Lengmo had different expressions in their eyes. Lin Feng, on the other hand, was calm and composed with a faint smile on his face.
"Hello," Lin Feng smiled and said.
His gaze swept across everyone and finally landed on Yumo as he nodded.
He had followed Yumo's plan and 'dragged' it until the end of the training. Although … he didn't know the reason.
"Boss, you're really punctual." Li Hao gave him a thumbs up and smiled.
"Did you make any new progress, Brother Lin Feng?" Wu Yong chuckled.
Jing Youyou pouted and played with her earrings. She stole glances at Lin Feng from the corner of her eyes. She wasn't as natural as the other three.
"A little." Lin Feng smiled.
Times had changed. Now, the way everyone looked at him was different from when he had just entered the apprentice square. Even the strongest Star Sector-level expert, Wu Yong, treated him as someone of the same generation and was very amiable.
This was strength.
The ability of a blacksmith was also a part of strength.
In the Dou Ling World, the four vice-professions had a higher status than ordinary experts.
While they were talking —
"Huff! ~" Pang Ran's flame disappeared instantly.
Lin Feng's eyes flickered. He moved his body slightly and came to Lin Yumo's side.
The violent fire elements in the air were gone and there was more of a peaceful aura.
The density of spirit energy gradually returned to normal. Along with the light, a thick door slowly opened in front of them. Lin Yumo didn't look over, but a faint blush flashed across her creamy cheeks.
Lin Lengmo looked over with her eyes unchanged. "Let's go."
Everyone left immediately.
…
After leaving the apprentice square, they simply packed their bags.
Lin Feng's group left the valley under the envious gazes of the other blacksmith apprentices under Lin Lengmo's lead.
Although the apprentice square was closed, the first group of valley was still a good place for the blacksmith apprentices to improve their strength. In fact, with the departure of Lin Feng's group, the empty spots would be filled by the most outstanding blacksmith apprentices of the second group. They would exchange their experiences and continue to improve.
Perhaps the other blacksmith apprentices of the first group weren't as talented as the five, but it wasn't like there was no way out.
Just like practicing martial arts, one could make up for one's lack's skills.
There would eventually have a chance to become a true blacksmith.
At this moment —
Under the lead of Lin Lengmo and Lin Yumo, Lin Feng and the other four entered a brand new area.
The real territory of the Lin clan territory.
"What a big place's a place ''s hand''s," Yumo's.
It was a bustling town that wasn't inferior to other places in Shiluo County. People came and went, and there were flashes of light everywhere. Teleportation portals were constantly activated, and many martial artists came and went. It wasn't busy, but it was a sign of prosperity.
"This is the outer city, where you will live in the future, '' Lin Lengmo introduced indifferently.
"Of course, it's up to you whether you want to live here or not. ''
Lin Lengmo added without any expression on her face.
Lin Feng's eyes flashed. He understood that rich kids like Jing Youyou and Li Hao might not want to live here.
The outer city was the residence of the sixth level of the Lin clan's external lineage martial artists and the fifth level of the branch lineage martial artists. It was a subsidiary existence of the Lin clan. Even so, the number of people here was ten times that of the inner city. It was an extremely powerful force of the Lin clan.
Unlike other places in Shiluo County, the martial artists here were extremely powerful.
Star Sea level martial artists were very common, and there was a large proportion of martial artists above the Star Lord level.
Moreover, the facilities in the town were different.
In the Lin clan, there was a large proportion of blacksmiths.
…
Whoosh! Through the teleportation portal.
Soon, Lin Feng and the others entered a magnificent hall.
It was luxurious and extravagant. There were all kinds of pearls and jades everywhere, and the bright golden color gave people an unusually noble feeling. It emitted a majestic aura, as if it was superior to others. As Lin Lengmo pushed open the door, they instantly entered a large hall.
Whoosh! The front lit up.
Lin Feng's eyes flickered. There were already four cultivators with majestic auras in front of him, waiting for him.
Some had white hair, some were tall, some had long arms, and some were strong and honest. Their auras were ancient and powerful. They were all Star Sector-level martial artists.
"Master." Lin Lengmo bowed respectfully to a middle-aged man with a stocky back and a bear waist. Lin Yumo also bowed slightly. At this moment, Liu Yikai and the others all knew the identities of the four people in front of them, and their eyes lit up.
"Greetings, Master!" The four people cupped their hands respectfully.
The four people in front of them were four of the eight Earth-tier blacksmiths of the Lin clan.
Although they were not as famous as Master Lin Yan, they had some reputation in Shiluo Prefecture. Especially Lin Zhong, who was the chief steward of the Lin clan.
He held great power!
"Alright, since the four of you were able to pass the apprentice training, you can be considered to have some aptitude.
"According to the rules of the Lin clan, you will enter our sect and become in-name disciples. Are you willing?" Lin Zhong's expression was honest as he spoke slowly. In-name disciples were ordinary disciples, and their status was quite different from that of inner disciples. Most of them were like Lin Lengmo and Lin Yumo, who simply imparted their skills.
They were not like disciples who were truly nurtured, who would spend a lot of effort.
But even so, to become an in-name disciple of an Earth-tier blacksmith, for any blacksmith apprentice —
It was an honor.
Moreover, to become an inner disciple, one usually had to start as an in-name disciple.
The four of them were extremely excited. Only Lin Feng looked calm, and he was not surprised.
Yumo had mentioned this to him before, and the one who wanted to take him as a disciple was Master Lin Yan!
Therefore, they were talking about 'four people', and he wasn't one of them.
"Yes, of course we are," the four of them answered eagerly.
Becoming an in-name disciple of an Earth-tier blacksmith was their biggest goal and pursuit after joining the Lin clan. Li Hao's face lit up with joy, but he suddenly realized that the number did not seem right. Seeing Lin Feng's calm expression, he could not help but ask curiously, "Master, does Lin Feng not count?"
"Him?" Lin Zhong smiled sincerely. "He is different from you. He was personally appointed by Master."
Master?!
The four of them were shocked.
Lin Zhong's master was Master Lin Yan?!
"Heavens, Lin Feng can become Master Lin Yan's in-name disciple?" Li Hao was shocked.
"He is not an in-name disciple. Master wants to take him as an inner disciple," Lin Zhong said calmly. Everyone's expression changed, and they were shocked.
An inner disciple!
Lin Feng was too strong!
They came from the same group, but the difference was like heaven and earth.
Everyone shook their heads, feeling envious. Wu Yong suddenly asked curiously, "Wait, as an inner disciple … an outer family warrior should not be enough, right? I heard that the minimum requirement is to be a fourth-tier 'sub-branch' warrior. "
Liu Yikai and the other two nodded. It was true.
An inner disciple was equivalent to true nurturing, and usually would not be taught to an 'outsider.'
Everyone knew this rule of the Lin clan.
Lin Zhong smiled faintly. "You may not know, but as early as half a year ago, Lin Feng was personally appointed by the clan leader to enter the inner city and become a fourth-tier sub-branch warrior." Lin Zhong smiled and looked at Lin Feng. "How about it, Lin Feng? Can you leave now? The clan leader and Master have been waiting for you for a long time."
Lin Feng smiled. "No problem."
Then, he left with Lin Zhong. Liu Yikai and the other three all stared at each other in shock.
The difference in treatment between them and Lin Feng was too big!
…
…
They entered the inner city.
Lin Feng and Lin Zhong walked together.
"I made an exception and promoted you to the first group. You really did not disappoint me, little guy …" Lin Zhong smiled sincerely.
His smile was very amiable, with a hint of friendliness. Lin Feng smiled back at him.
This Lin Zhong did not give him the feeling that he was a bad person.
"Thank you, senior, for your promotion." Lin Feng nodded.
"No matter how much I promote you, you have to rely on yourself." Lin Zhong said and patted Lin Feng's shoulder. "The clan leader rarely values someone so much that he made an exception and promoted a non-clan warrior to the fourth tier. You have to cherish it."
"Yes." Lin Feng replied and did not say too much.
The more he said, the more mistakes he would make. Just like Yumo said, he should —
Wait and see.
"Master hasn't had an inner disciple for a long time." Lin Zhong laughed. "I didn't think I would have another junior brother so soon. You are only a bit later than Yumo. Master is famous in the Vermilion Bird Continent and is a master at refining astral treasures. To be able to become master's disciple is definitely a great opportunity for you. "
Lin Feng smiled and nodded.
"Okay, go in." Lin Zhong patted Lin Feng and smiled.
Lin Feng looked ahead and saw a shining door of light. It seemed to be a teleportation array.
Lin Zhong's heart trembled, but he knew he could not avoid it. He immediately stepped in.
It was time for him to face it.
…
Outer city.
"I'm so envious. My idol is Master Lin Yan." Li Hao's eyes shone.
"But Lin Feng does have the strength and potential." Liu Yikai nodded. "His achievements in the apprentice workshop are too dazzling."
Wu Yong smiled. "More than that. You don't know yet, right? Lin Feng comes from the Wildlands and is a Wildland warrior. Other than the Lin clan trying to recruit him, Yan Qing, the third-ranked inscription master in Shiluo County, has said that he wants to take him as his successor! "
"Are, are you serious?" Li Hao was stunned.
Liu Yikai's eyes lit up. "He's Lin Feng, the Barbaric Warrior who drew the Time Carving Matrix at ten times the normal rate and defeated An Lu, who was ranked third in the Star of Carving Masters?"
Wu Yong smiled and nodded.
Everyone's surprised and admiring expressions made Jing Youyou happy. She felt inexplicably comfortable, as if they were praising her. Lin Lengmo, on the other hand, was surprised. She could not help but look at Lin Yumo. The latter's face was calm, as if he already knew.
Indeed, Lin Yumo was one of the most knowledgeable people.
"The timing is just right." Lin Yumo's beautiful eyes were clear as he smiled.
