Collapse: Black Moonlight Turns White, Popular Four-Star Character

"Like this... well, it's obviously getting better each time. Well done, Xiao Yingxing."

When Tao Ran heard that it was forged by the eldest senior brother, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed his emotions, touched Ying Xing's head, and praised him in a tone.

"Compared to Senior Brother, I'm still far behind." Ying Xing's cheeks flushed slightly and he scratched his cheek.

"Isn't the eldest brother coming today?"

Ying Xing looked outside the door, still looking forward to Yannian's arrival.

Tao Ran smiled faintly and picked up the blueprint on the table. "He does one thing every month. I will personally inspect this place in the next few days."

"What's the matter?" Ying Xing asked curiously.

“Who knows? Pick the flowers when they bloom, don’t wait until they are empty and the branches are empty.”

"It's definitely something you'll regret if you don't do it, just like Xiao Yingxing is working hard on forging now." Tao Ran squinted his eyes and said happily.

"it is good--"

Ying Xing looked a little lost, but he cheered up in an instant.

In that case, I will produce a good work tomorrow to surprise my senior brother.

"This drawing is very creative. Not bad. Was Xiao Yingxing forging the spearhead just now?"

Tao Ran put down the drawings with a satisfied look on his face.

"Yes, but teacher, I, I have a question." Ying Xing said in a low voice.

"Any questions? Feel free to ask." Tao Ran smiled with his eyes curved, his face showing extreme kindness that did not match his age, giving Ying Xing the illusion that he was in his seventies or eighties, although he looked like a middle-aged man.

Anyway, the appearance of the immortal species does not match his age, and Ying Xing has gotten used to it.

"When Senior Brother was forging something earlier, I heard a faint sound. It was very special, but when I tried to imitate it, I couldn't hear that sound."

"I heard that the "Yu Yanjun" also makes strange noises when forging. Is this a phenomenon caused by good forging techniques?"

Ying Xing looked at Tao Ran eagerly, waiting for his doubts to be clarified.

"Of course not. It depends on the individual. Being special... isn't necessarily a good thing."

When talking about "Lord Yu Yan", Tao Ran paused, as if he had something to hide. His eyes darkened and he deliberately changed the subject to talk about other things.

"I didn't expect that Xiao Yingxing knows Yu Yanjun so well. Is he targeting him?"

"Yes, because Yu Yanjun was the champion of the last Xianzhou Alliance Smelting Competition."

"He forged many famous weapons, equipment, etc., but..." Ying Xing answered excitedly at first, but suddenly changed the subject and his face became depressed.

"Just what?" Tao Ran asked softly.

"But I heard that a few years ago, 'Yu Yanjun' has been staying indoors all the time. Some people even laughed at him, saying that he has run out of ideas and will never be able to forge good works again."

"Everyone expected him to win the title of Baiye, but he didn't."

"He gave up that assessment."

Ying Xing's words revealed a hint of regret. As a barbarian, he didn't know what had happened to "Lord Yu Yan", but he believed that a true genius would never be submerged.

He must have run into some trouble.

"Yu Yanjun is a disciple of General Huai Yan. General Huai Yan will guide Yu Yanjun, right? Teacher Tao Ran."

“He will return to the forging arena and shine.”

Ying Xing looked at Tao Ran naively, and a hint of helplessness appeared between Tao Ran's brows.

"Of course, I will." Tao Ran responded in a gentle voice, "Okay, let's not talk about other things. Xiao Yingxing, let me see your forging skills."

“Keep knocking, and one day, you will hear a voice that belongs only to you.”

"Okay, teacher, I will try my best." Ying Xing raised the small hammer, with flames dancing in his eyes.

The fire in the hearth flickered like a ball of warm flame of life.

Teacher Tao Ran seemed like a different person and began to respect him, even though he was a short-lived person.

During those days, Ying Xing learned a lot.

But during those days, the eldest senior brother never showed up.

Until the day of the apprenticeship assessment, Ying Xing brought the finished product and drawings to the classroom, and finally waited for Yannian who was as cold as ever.

Yannian put one hand behind his back, his eyes sharp, and started scolding as soon as he entered the door.

"Noisy, noisy—I can hear your voices from far away."

"If you put half the energy you put into talking nonsense into forging, you would have reached a higher level long ago."

The apprentices immediately shut up and pretended to look at the blueprints.

"When your name is called, please bring your design drawings and work to the next room. This time, three craftsmen will grade your work, and I will take the average score and record it."

"The first one goes in, and the second one waits at the door."

After saying a few words, Yannian turned and left.

There was a tense atmosphere in the room. The apprentices looked at their drawings again and again, simulating in their minds how to explain their works later.

Only Ying Xing stole a glance at Yannian's back and listened to the eldest brother's inner thoughts.

"I'm so tired, my bones are about to break—"

"Alas, there are always things that I can't let go of. I wonder how Ying Xing's design drawings are doing during my absence."

"What a shame! I didn't scold him for a few days. I wasted several opportunities."

So what did you do?

Ying Xing pursed his lips. If it really didn't work, he could help.

Even if it was a waste of his precious time, after all, the senior brother helped him a lot.

After a long time, a loud voice cut through the air.

"The first one is Tianming."

"arrive."

"Hello, teachers. I make a poison blade. Hehe, if you get scratched by it, you'll be poisoned. Even if you lick it, uh."

"Someone, someone, someone has been poisoned!"

There was a commotion next door. Yannian was speechless, watching Tianming being carried out with a bruised body. Couldn't this kid come up with some normal inventions?

The three workers seemed to be used to it and drank their tea calmly.

Below, there was an apprentice demonstrating the "Transformation Magical Girl Wand", who transformed Gong Zheng into a magical girl suit on the spot to show off his achievements.

Gong Zheng looked at the pink dress on her body and asked a key question.

"Student, I see you wrote above that it's a weapon that can be used on the battlefield."

"Then may I ask, how can this magic wand inflict damage on the remnants of abundance?"

The apprentice smiled confidently, changed his outfit, and bought a cute one, "Of course it's seduction, to make the remnants of abundance lose their minds and buy time for my teammates."

"This magical girl outfit was revealed to me by the pure and beautiful star goddess Idrila in my dreams."

The worker in the pink skirt stood up, put her hairy legs on the chair, flexed her muscular arms, and spoke to Yannian who was sitting beside her in a gloomy tone, "Yu Mo, am I beautiful?"

"Are you tempted?"

Long-term silence.

"Teacher, as long as you think it's beautiful."

Gong Zheng said nothing, but walked out and stared at the next student waiting, who was Ying Xing.

When Ying Xing saw the King Kong Barbie for the first time, he was so scared that his hair stood on end and he took several steps back.

"Am I beautiful?" Gong Zheng asked calmly.

"I, I don't know." Ying Xing shook his head timidly.

"Are you serious about taking a half step back?"

The worker was bent over, his eyes fiery.

Not knowing how to answer, Ying Xing took a few steps back. This gaze made him feel uncomfortable.

"Hmph, once the appraisal is complete, it will only irritate the team members."

"Giving it to the remnants of Fengrao will only scare the Yunqi Army more. You, come out right here." Gong Zheng frowned, called out the apprentice, grabbed his ear and walked away.

This Gongzheng was suspected to be struggling hard in his social death but had lost all face and would not come back for the time being, so Yannian invited a new Gongzheng, Tao Ran, to serve as the new reviewer.

"Next one, Ying Xing."
