The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

Lying flat value: 100000
Super Invincible: (11/900)

Divine Power: 1123.7
Divine Rune: 10.0
Divine Rune Cultivation Method: (34/100)

Soul: 41341
Basic Forging Method: (40/600)

Realms: Level 1 God, Level 2 Blacksmith, Level 1 Divine Inscription Master
It takes 40,000 "lying down" points to advance one level, and 120,000 "lying down" points are needed to advance from a lower-level god to a middle-level god.

But considering that the Divine Rune Cultivation Method requires 10,000 "lying down" points to increase ten stats, and that it would take 100,000 "lying down" points to advance from a Level 1 Divine Rune Master to a Level 2 Divine Rune Master, Zhang Lingfeng felt somewhat relieved.

His gaze then fell upon the basic forging method.

This cultivation method requires 600 "lying down" points to reach a certain value, and 60,000 "lying down" points to reach perfection. Even if one cultivates to perfection, one will only become a level three blacksmith, like Master Yang.

To become a level four blacksmith, you need to obtain intermediate blacksmithing techniques.

Thinking of the high hopes that Commander Ma had for him.

Furthermore, as forging skills improved, social status also rose.

After careful consideration, Zhang Lingfeng decided to upgrade his Elementary Forging Technique to Perfection.

The panel information has changed.

Lying flat value: 640000
Basic Forging Method: (100/100)

Realm: Peak Level 3 Blacksmith, Level 1 Divine Rune Master, Level 1 God.

Looking at the remaining 60,000+ "lying down" points, Zhang Lingfeng hesitated. This amount of "lying down" points was not enough for him to advance from a lower-level god to a middle-level god.

However, it can allow him to advance from a first-level god to a second-level god.

If you add it to the Divine Rune Cultivation Method.

I can almost upgrade it to perfection, gaining 64.0 divine rune power, which would make me one of the more powerful level one divine rune masters.

At least in terms of divine rune power level, he should be on par with Chen Fenfang, or even Master Liu and the others.

Unfortunately, it's far from enough to advance to the level of a second-level divine rune master.

Firstly, the Divine Rune Cultivation Method is the introductory technique for Divine Rune Masters. Even if one cultivates it to its peak, one cannot become a Level 2 Divine Rune Master, and the power of the Divine Runes cannot break through 100.0.

To become a Level 2 Divine Inscription Master, one must acquire the corresponding cultivation technique.

Zhang Lingfeng discovered that neither advancing to the level of a god nor a divine rune master was an easy task.

"This matter cannot be rushed."

"How about I first add the intermediate forging method that Master Ma passed on to me into the panel?"

Zhang Lingfeng muttered to himself.

General Ma had always wanted to take him as a disciple and had already taught him the intermediate forging method. If he cultivated it to its peak, he could become a level six forger and give divine artifacts a divine charm.

Unfortunately, improvement is extremely difficult.

Despite years of training, Master Ma is only a fourth-level blacksmith and has been unable to achieve a breakthrough.

"Give it a try!"

Zhang Lingfeng began to try to include the intermediate forging method into the panel.

It took Zhang Lingfeng several years to successfully incorporate the Divine Rune Cultivation Method into his panel, and it was only with the help of Master Liu and Master Yan that he finally mastered it.

He only needed one month to develop the Super Body.

This intermediate forging method shouldn't take too long.

As a result, it took Zhang Lingfeng a full six months to add the intermediate forging method to the panel.

Now, the forging competition held by the Divine Craftsman Pavilion is held every month, and all the forgers have flocked to Baidi City. Baidi City is now overcrowded.

Many people come from far and wide, hoping to witness the birth of a divine artifact imbued with divine charm.

Many blacksmiths are eager to make a name for themselves in this blacksmithing competition.

There is still one spot left for the contestants of Shenjiangpu.

Master Ma, Master Wu, and Master Yang have already secured their spots. Master Wang, Master Liu, and others are competing for the last spot.

The situation was extremely intense.

In full swing.

"Hahaha!"

Suddenly, Master Yang's laughter came from inside the craftsman's shop.

"it is good!"

General Ma shouted.

Master Yang pulled a long sword from the forging furnace. The sword emanated a powerful energy fluctuation that could be infused with the power of lower-level gods, middle-level gods, and upper-level gods. Once the power was infused, the sword would grow stronger on its own.

It seemed as if there was a cultivation system within the longsword, which could continuously strengthen a power until it reached its peak. When released, it could even double in power, thus possessing overwhelming and earth-shattering strength.

This divine weapon is a sign that was forged by a level four blacksmith.

After countless years of cultivation, with the help of Master Ma, Master Yang finally attained the intermediate godhood and naturally advanced to the level of a fourth-level blacksmith.

He became second only to Master Ma in the Divine Craftsman Shop.

Master Yang had waited for this day for an unknown amount of time. Now that he had achieved success, one can only imagine his excitement. The joy on his face was infectious.

"Old Yang!"

Master Wang and Master Liu, among others, said excitedly.

They were happy for Master Yang's breakthrough, since he had always been their leader and now that he had made a breakthrough, he would be able to take care of them in the future.

But this also illustrates the importance of a powerful divine body.

If one cannot become a mid-level god, it will be extremely difficult to become a level four blacksmith.

"Master Yang, you've finally made a breakthrough."

Ma Fei said excitedly.

"Thanks to you, Master Ma! Thank you, Master Ma!"

Master Yang was overjoyed and wept, then knelt down before Commander Ma.

"I'm doing this for the future of Shenjiangpu. Get up quickly."

General Ma wanted to help Master Yang up.

But Master Yang remained kneeling on the ground and said, "From now on, I, Yang Lan, will live and die with the Divine Craftsman Shop. Even if I am shattered to pieces, I will help Master Ma preserve the reputation of the Divine Craftsman Shop."

"it is good."

What Master Ma was waiting for was Master Yang's words.

Ma Fei was also very happy.

“Master, I can also be promoted to a level four blacksmith and help you like Master Yang.”

Wu Xiaomei said.

She felt very disappointed.

She is the true disciple of Commander Ma.

As a result, Master Yang was the first to be promoted to a mid-level god, and now he is the first to be promoted to a level four blacksmith, shouldering the responsibility of protecting the signboard of the God Craftsman's Shop.

As Ma Dashuai's personal disciple, she seemed unable to play a role for the time being, which made her somewhat frustrated.

"Yes, Master believes in you."

General Ma nodded.

He was in a great mood today and gave everyone a day off, taking them to Zuichunlou for a feast.

"Congratulations, Master Yang! Congratulations, Master Ma!"

Master Yang made a breakthrough, and Zhang Lingfeng was happy for him. Seeing Master Ma breathe a sigh of relief, he was also happy for Master Ma.

Master Yang's hard work over the past few years has been evident to all. His promotion to intermediate god and becoming a level four blacksmith is well-deserved.

Ma Dashuai's efforts have finally paid off.

Everyone's efforts weren't in vain at all.

Master Yang and General Ma were still immersed in joy, and they accepted all the compliments and toasts from everyone.

"Master Ma, for this last candidate, who have you decided to choose?"

Master Liu inquired.

During this period, he and Master Wang and others had been competing for this spot.

Upon hearing this, Master Wang straightened his back.

He was baptized by Chen Fenfang last time and was fortunate enough to attain godhood.

He's physically stronger than Master Liu, so the spot in the competition is definitely his. Although everyone is unwilling to admit defeat, many people know in their hearts that he is more likely to become the fourth person, and Master Wang himself is also full of confidence.

General Ma glanced at everyone, but did not rush to make a decision.

Instead, he said, "Master Yang has made a breakthrough today, so let's all drink and eat meat first. You'll find out about the fourth spot in a few days."

"it is good."

"Congratulations, Master Yang."

"Thank you, Mr. Ma."

……

Without giving it much thought, everyone got completely drunk at Zuichunlou.

Zhang Lingfeng also took this opportunity to drink a few more glasses.

A few days later.

General Ma summoned all the blacksmiths in the Divine Craftsman's Shop together.

Today he will decide who will take the last spot at the forging competition.

"This selection is fair and just. I will only look at who has the stronger forging skills and who can forge the higher-level divine weapons."

Commander Ma said.

"Anyone who wants to participate in the forging competition can participate in this selection. I ask you to do your best to forge a long sword or a long blade. Old Yang and I will decide who can participate in the forging competition based on your performance."

General Ma has set a question.

"it is good!"

No one objected.

They had nothing to say about the people selected in this way.

Master Wang began to get restless.

Among the remaining blacksmiths, he was not only a level two blacksmith, but also a god-level expert, making him the most powerful among them.

He is the successor to Master Yang in his position.

He is confident.

"let's start!"

Master Yang announced.

Everyone headed towards the forging platform.

Zhang Lingfeng went over as well.

When Master Wang saw him, he chuckled. The two had a good relationship, and Master Wang also admired Zhang Lingfeng's forging skills.

However, Zhang Lingfeng was lazy and had not yet attained godhood. Although he was a level two blacksmith, the divine weapons he forged were far less effective than his own.

In addition, Zhang Lingfeng usually likes to forge things like hidden weapons and throwing knives, so the long swords and sabers he forged this time were his weak points.

Therefore, Master Wang did not feel any pressure from Zhang Lingfeng.

Standing on the forging platform, Zhang Lingfeng couldn't help but feel conflicted.

To be honest, he spent half a year adding the intermediate forging technique to his panel, and before that, he upgraded the basic forging technique to perfection, enabling him to attain godhood.

Besides wanting to improve their own abilities.

I also wanted to do my part for General Ma.

After all, the Ma family and General Ma had treated him well at the Divine Craftsman Shop.

Zhang Lingfeng couldn't possibly ignore it.

He might not have participated in a regular forging competition, but this matter concerned whether the reputation of the Divine Craftsman's Shop could be preserved.

Ma Fei once said that if the signboard of the Divine Craftsman Shop were taken away by the Divine Craftsman Pavilion, then the Divine Craftsman Shop would cease to exist. General Ma might close the shop instead of simply changing its name.

Zhang Lingfeng hoped that the Divine Craftsman Shop could be preserved and that the Ma family could maintain their reputation.

He also knew that the Divine Craftsmen Pavilion was very powerful.

Even if he alone added all his remaining lying-down points to the intermediate forging method and became a level 5 blacksmith, he still wouldn't be able to compete with the Divine Craftsmen's Pavilion.

All we can do is ensure that the reputation of the Divine Craftsman's Shop doesn't collapse.

With this in mind, Zhang Lingfeng also began forging.

He wanted to help the Divine Craftsman Shop preserve its reputation as a way of repaying the Ma family for their care and help.

Clang!

Everyone was engrossed in the forging process.

As a powerful figure and a second-level blacksmith, Master Wang was the most attractive, and everyone believed that he would win and become the fourth candidate.

Ma Dashuai also has high expectations for Master Wang.

We hope that Master Wang can create a miracle and help Shenjiangpu achieve great results.

Clang!

Master Wang is forging a long sword.

Divine weapons forged by a first-class blacksmith can store power, which is then enhanced by the artifact upon release.

It can unleash even greater power.

Divine weapons forged by a level-two blacksmith can store more power and have a higher enhancement of internal energy.

If it's a level one blacksmith, the power amplification of the artifact is doubled, while for a level two blacksmith it's doubled.

The stored power is also one to two times that of a divine weapon forged by a first-level blacksmith.

The long sword that Master Wang is going to forge today.

The goal is to make this sword capable of storing the power of a mid-level god, so that when released, it can unleash power approaching that of a high-level god.

He believed that his skill was absolutely top-notch among the second-level blacksmiths at the Divine Craftsman Shop.

If the longsword he forges reaches this level, neither Zhang Lingfeng nor Master Liu will be his match.

He was also full of confidence.

Completely immersed in the forging process.

They were trying to forge a truly divine weapon.

Master Yang, Master Ma, and others closely watched Master Wang's every move. Seeing how smoothly and effortlessly Master Wang performed the process, they all nodded in approval.

But as the owner of the Divine Craftsman Shop, Ma Dashuai's gaze still shifted from one craftsman to another.

Go and watch Master Liu and the other masters forge their products.

Unconsciously.

Ma Dashuai also noticed Zhang Lingfeng in the corner.

The divine weapon Zhang Lingfeng was preparing to forge was a long sword.

Since he wanted to be the fourth candidate to participate in the forging competition with Commander Ma, Zhang Lingfeng decided not to hold back any longer.

Clang!

The moment the hammer fell, the power of the divine body erupted.

As a powerful being of god-like status, the force of each hammer blow he delivered was far inferior to that of a true god.

General Ma had only glanced at Zhang Lingfeng before turning his attention to the other masters.

But when that power was released from Zhang Lingfeng's forging equipment, he was completely stunned.

As a mid-level god, he could tell at a glance which level of true god Zhang Lingfeng belonged to. However, when Zhang Lingfeng attained godhood, he would have to wait until Zhang Lingfeng released his divine power to determine which realm Zhang Lingfeng's divine body had reached.

"A god?"

"A first-level god."

He never expected that Zhang Lingfeng, who had just attained the ninth level of True God two or three years ago, had now advanced to become a powerful god. His divine power was surging and inexhaustible. The hard refining material in his hand quickly deformed as his hammer fell.

The impurities on it were quickly removed.

"This……"

Master Yang also noticed the change in Zhang Lingfeng's strength.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingfeng has already attained the first level of godhood. Both are second level blacksmiths. Could it be that Zhang Lingfeng can compete with Master Wang for the fourth candidate?
Ma Dashuai, who was standing nearby, also had the same thought.

He had given up all hope for Zhang Lingfeng, but unexpectedly, he saw this glimmer of hope at this moment.
