Chapter 407: The chick surpassed the master
“Congratulations! Hey Ji-yin! Congratulations to you too! With impeccable rank you!”
The entire crowd joyfully congratulated the best blacksmith Haidong and his pet, while Jin, like a ray of light, flew higher and higher.
Lin Yi didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
On the one hand, he was very happy for Qin, but at the same time he was embarrassed for himself. It took him the last five years to make a sword, while he did not take a single step in martial arts. Just opened ten acupuncture points. He needed another hundred and fifty - that's seventy-five years at this rate.
Jin's elevation to flawless rank made him come to his senses. Gripping the hilt of his new sword even tighter, Lin Yi turned back and said:
“Well, folks, I've already become a burden to my friend, so I'm sorry, but I won't be forging any new swords anytime soon. Go about your business, please, and I’m off to make my way to the impeccable rank!”
“Ha ha ha, keep it up Master Lin. No matter what kind of blacksmith you are, there is nothing more important in Kyushu than strength. Just imagine the people, what can they achieve in two hundred years? Then the road to the best blacksmiths of Kyushu will definitely be open to him!”
People nodded, understanding his decision. Elevation to impeccable rank was indeed a worthy cause. But this doesn’t make me any less regretful.:
“Eh, where can I get such a good sword now??”
