Chapter 15: Smithing Assessment
Artifact Refining Hall.
Li Quanqing walked in the outermost fire hall area, where the air was still scorching hot but lacked the usual clang of iron forging.
He entered the grand forging hall, where fifty or sixty young men and women stood nervously; they were, in fact, his classmates.
Three months ago, they had finished their assessments at the Yellow-level academy, becoming Xuan-level apprentices, and began personally forging mortal weapons.
Today was the day of the assessment.
If they did not pass, they would need to continue learning iron forging in Fire Hall, and might even get scolded and disgraced by those mortal artifact masters.
Li Quanqing swept his gaze around and spotted a dozen senior students in the corner who had been "held back" for two or three years.
He found his artifact refinement platform and stood firm, right next to Li Quanshu, who looked slightly nervous.
Li Quanqing checked his artifact forging tools while he caringly inquired, "Senior sister, have you heard any definite news about those Bright Moon Shells I asked about?"
"You scamp, asking about that in such a serious occasion, do you think having talent means you can do whatever you want?"
Li Quanshu bit her silver teeth; even with her good temperament, she felt somewhat annoyed: "What if you don't pass?"
