Chapter 824: Assessment! Enlightenment! Don’t Trust Everything on Books!
Chu Feng raised his head in confusion.
The stubble on his face was already covered in his cheeks. At first glance, he looked like he was in his seventies or eighties.
Only his eyes were bright and eager for knowledge.
He tilted his head and glanced at the empty bookshelf.
“Hmm… Is it over?”
As he spoke, a sharp saber beam slashed across his body.
The beard on his face was instantly shaved clean, and a green set of clothes suddenly appeared on his body.
He suddenly became dozens of times younger!
“Phew…”
After doing all of this, Chu Feng heaved a sigh of relief.
He silently sensed for a while.
“A thousand years have passed, but it feels like yesterday…”
At that moment, Chu Feng seemed to have been washed clean and reborn.
It was not about strength, but an indescribable aura.
That was the natural aura of a confident scholar after reading ten thousand books.
“That voice seemed to have said that as long as I feel that I can pass the assessment within ten thousand years, I can call him.”
Chu Feng muttered to himself.
Then, he shouted loudly, “Candidate Chu Feng requests to clear the first stage of the assessment!”
Just as it finished speaking, the familiar voice sounded again.
[In the 1001st year, at the request of the candidate, the first stage, the Theoretical Knowledge Assessment, will begin now.]
[Question: If a blacksmith is about to forge a golden-and-water sword, hoping that it has the toughness of gold and the softness of water, and that it contains at least a thousand lun of energy, what materials should he choose, what supports should he use, and how should he make it?]
Hearing this extremely complicated question, Chu Feng merely smiled lightly and said without thinking, “The main material can be the Violet Flame Star Origin Gold. Although this gold is of the metal element, it is extremely afraid of fire. It can’t be tempered with flames. Instead, it needs to be slowly transformed by the cold lake aura until it softens. When the cold air invades the gold, it will give the Violet Flame Star Origin Gold a softness like water. At the same time, it will be tempered with the crystal of the Purple Flood Dragon, the powder of the Profound Mystery Stone, and the essence of the Fallen Star. After it is formed…”
Chu Feng said a lot in one breath.
Ordinary people might be confused after hearing this.
However, Chu Feng continued to speak confidently.
It took him more than two hours to answer the question. One could imagine how complicated the process was!
This was not something that could be done just because you had read books. You needed to master all of the knowledge and combine it with your own understanding!
This was the true difficulty of the first stage!
After hearing Chu Feng’s answer, soon, the loud voice sounded again.
“Your answer is excellent. Although it’s not the most perfect solution, it’s still a good idea. You’ve passed the first question. Next, the second question…”
Time passed minute by minute.
One question after another passed.
This question and answer actually lasted for three days!
Chu Feng was not impatient at all. Instead, he was excited and eager to try.
It was only when the voice in the air fell completely silent that Chu Feng reacted.
“I’ve passed just like that? I have many other solutions to those questions!”
No one bothered with him.
The voice in the air seemed to be speechless.
After a long time, it spoke slowly again.
[Second stage of the assessment: Imitation]
[This is the most important step before becoming a blacksmith. Learn techniques by copying masters for your own use.]
[Assessment Requirement: Candidates must imitate all the movements and auras of the projection within ten thousand years. Only after passing a stage can they undergo the next stage of learning.]
After hearing the assessment requirement, Chu Feng pulled a long face.
“Damn! Another ten thousand years?!”
“Do you really think I’m easy to bully?!”
But he was unyielding for less than three seconds. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Chu Feng could only sigh.
“Hmm… Forget it, I’m indeed easy to bully. Anyway, I can’t resist… Sigh!”
Chu Feng shook his head helplessly.
However, he thought to himself, you think I’ll stay here for a thousand years? I’ll finish it in a thousand years!
At this moment.
A tall figure suddenly appeared in front of Chu Feng. His face was blurry, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. However, he was holding a huge hammer in his hand. In front of him were the items needed for forging.
“Senior…”
Chu Feng had wanted to greet him first and get closer to him. However, he discovered that he was completely ignored.
The moment he appeared, he began to temper.
With just a glance, Chu Feng knew what the other party was forging.
He could not help but look down on him.
I know everything. What’s there to learn?
However, as he watched, Chu Feng’s eyes widened.
“A useless material like the Fire Deer Antler can actually be used like this?!”
“Ice can also be used for quenching?!”
“How is that possible?!”
Chu Feng’s exclamations filled the entire space.
He instantly restrained his contempt.
He held his breath and stared fixedly at the phantom’s every move, not daring to miss a moment!
Half a day later, the phantom stopped what he was doing.
He had a deerskin soft armor in his hand.
Chu Feng took a glance. From the aura emitted by the soft armor, it was at least a Divine Lord level treasure!
One had to know that the materials used by this phantom could at most create divine-grade equipment!
“That’s not what books… said…”
Chu Feng was momentarily confused.
As expected, there was a difference between theory and practice.
And the difference was huge!
As the Hua Xia sages had said, if you trust everything on books, you might as well not read them at all. It could be said to be the truth of the world!
At that moment…
Chu Feng came to a realization.
He did not dare to underestimate him anymore.
At this moment.
With a wave of the phantom’s palm, the same set of equipment appeared before Chu Feng.
This virtual world was actually so magical, as if everything could be created out of thin air.
Chu Feng seemed to have heard Mo Tianji mention this method before. This was a technology unique to the Heavenly Book Academy, right?
Then what was he doing?
After pondering for a moment, Chu Feng shook his head.
Forget it, what has it got to do with me? The most important thing now is to pass quickly and get out!
From the looks of it, he should probably imitate it.
Chu Feng was not afraid.
He did not lack theoretical knowledge in his mind. Right now was an excellent opportunity to train. He picked up the hammer and started working.
The first time, no, he was far from it!
Even though his movements were exactly the same as the phantom, he failed completely in the end. He could not even create the final product!
The phantom shook his head.
However, it still did not say a word. It actually started the demonstration again. From the beginning to the end, there was no skipping.
Chu Feng also learned humbly. He seemed to have comprehended something else.
But when he forged it, it was still a little lacking. No!
Third time, fourth time, fifth time…
At that moment, Chu Feng completely let go of his arrogance that he had to pass within a thousand years.
Since he did not have that talent, he would do it bit by bit!
He calmed himself down and began to learn from the beginning. He compared what he had learned from books to the phantom’s work. Slowly, Chu Feng discovered that he was actually catching up to the rhythm of the phantom!
On the 1008th time, Chu Feng shouted.
A dazzling deer-skin soft armor was produced!
Although it was only normal divine-grade equipment and was far inferior to the Divine Lord level equipment, it meant a lot to Chu Feng!
He had accomplished the first step!
