The next day, Heero gathered his academy disciples. He had a task for them.
"It's about ti! It's ti for you to gain so experience outside!"
Standing next to Heero, Butcher Wang grinned ear to ear while rubbing his thick beard. He was beaming with happiness as he looked at the kids.
"This is your Senior Wang. Your task is following him to hunt the beast!" Heero announced the task.
"Form a group of three and hunt a Silver Class Beast. Whether it's low-level, interdiate-level, or even upper-level, as long as it's a Silver Class, you complete the task!"
"The top three groups with the most Silver Class Beast will be rewarded and the lower three bottoms will be punished, understand?"
The kids were surprised by the task, but they accepted the task without any complaint.
"Yes, Teacher!" The kids replied loudly.
This was the effect of yesterday's ga. No group or individual could push Kang Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun out of the circle.
To his surprise, not only it discouraged the kids, the kids even followed the training nu with even greater determination.
"Huhuhu The new kids are surely spirited," Butcher Wang chuckled happily.
'It looks like I will harvest more beast at. More at, more money' Butcher Wang happily thought as he scanned the kids in front of him. His eyes turned green from the future prospect of these kids. Harvesting the at for him, so he could slack and spend more ti with his daughter.
"Off you go then!" Heero sent the kids off.
Butcher Wang, Kang Dong-Woo, and Xu Lingxun led the group outside the city. Leaving Heero in the academy alone. Not completely alone though, because there were other classes such as smithing class and dical class.
Heero looked at his smartwatch and muttered, "It's about the ti!"
He headed toward Blacksmith Huang Workshop. Since the day he opened the new path in smithing, Blacksmith Huang dedicated his ti to smithing.
He had produced many amazing weapons and armors in the last few months. No heroes or rankers did not know his na.
Despite the high-quality gears he produced, the price was quite cheap compared to the weapon in the market. That was why he beca so popular in no ti.
Next week, an auction would be held at the Xing Auction House. The auction was Heero's idea to strengthen the heroes. The stronger the heroes were, the safer the city would be.
Not only would he share the Ki Comprehension through his apprentice and his disciples. He would also spread high-quality gears for the masses.
99 weapons and 99 armors would be auctioned and three hundred tickets were sold at a high price.
Heero headed toward the Blacksmith Huang workshop to check the preparation.
When he arrived at the workshop, the usual long line could not be seen. Blacksmith Huang closed his smithy until his work for the auction was done. He prioritized his work for the auction.
The old workshop had been repaired. The beforehand building was about to collapse nowhere to be seen. The smithy stood straight, from a three-story building, it turned to be a seven-story building. The highest building in the Xing District.
The first floor was a lobby where Blacksmith Huang showcased his works. Heero entered the deeper, Blacksmith Huang's student workshop.
He felt less heat than before as the circulation was much better. Blacksmith Huang surely knew how to use his money.
Blacksmith Huang's apprentices who were also a student of his academy recognized him. The Boss of the Xing District, the owner of Heero Academy, and The Chief of Hero Instructor.
Everyone in the workshop greeted Heero respectfully while he returned the greeting with a nod and a smile.
He imdiately headed toward the stairs as the fifth floor was his destination.
Half of the first floor, the second floor, and up to the fifth floor were workshops. The first floor to the fourth-floor workshops was designed for Blacksmith Huang's apprentice while the fifth floor was Blacksmith Huang's private workshop.
Heero headed to the fifth floor where Blacksmith Huang was working.
Dok! Dok! Dok!
He knocked on the door thrice as he arrived on the fifth floor.
"Co in!" A vigorous voice escaped from the room.
Heero opened the door and saw Blacksmith Huang standing next to a table. Still, with his working attire, Blacksmith Huang seed to be making a design for a spear.
Blacksmith Huang thought it was his apprentice who looked for him. While his eyes fixated on the design, he asked out, "What's wrong?"
"I want to ask about the preparation of our item that will be auctioned next week. Are the items ready?" Without beating around the bush, Heero asked.
As the familiar voice entered his ears, Blacksmith Huang, without hesitation put everything in his hand and turned around, "You are here, Master, "
Blacksmith Huang was delighted to see his Master. A smile ford on his lips, his bright face told Heero how happy his disciple was.
Blacksmith Huang truly had experienced a big transformation. He now looked much younger despite being in his mid-forties. He looked like soone in his mid-thirties instead.
"Mnn, so, how about the preparation?" Heero returned with a nod.
"Everything is prepared, 98 weapons and 99 armors are ready to be auctioned next week!" Blacksmith Huang readily answered.
"Let show you the items, Master, "
Then, Heero was brought to the sixth floor where Blacksmith Huang saved his collection.
There, Blacksmith Huang showed everything he had prepared for Heero to inspect. Despite his fa, Blacksmith Huang still respected Heero.
"Everything is ready as per you requested. The last touch, the 99th weapon"
"I will make it today! Have you prepared the materials?" Heero cut Blacksmith Huang's words halfway.
"Yes!"
"Good! Follow , I will teach you sothing new, giving a conscious to your creation. It will be your next lesson and it's extrely hard, be prepared!"
Heero turned around and headed to the stairs. The seventh floor, his private workshop given to him by Blacksmith Huang.
Blacksmith Huang's eyes glead in excitent when he heard that he would be taught sothing new.
He hurriedly chased after Heero to the seventh floor.
