Just as Heero predicted, the next day, early in the morning, Blacksmith Huang came to Heero right before Sun Zhou Yi and Butcher Wang started their training.
"Heero, please teach me!"
Blacksmith Huang bowed his head to Heero. Blacksmithing was the only thing left in his life, he had no family. It could be said Blacksmith Huang's life was quite tragic.
his first and second wives died twenty years ago. They died young because of a horde of zombies that attacked the city. Meanwhile, the third and fourth wives ran away with someone.
He did not have children from his first and second wives, let alone the third and the fourth wives. Blacksmith Huang's marriage life was quite tragic.
With his life ruined, the only thing he had was the blacksmithing he had learned since young. That was why when Heero said he wanted to teach Blacksmith Huang a technique, he was quite angry at that time.
Heero also learned some truth about Blacksmith Huang's life from Butcher Wang. Blacksmith Huang still had two disciples. As blacksmithing was the only thing he had, he took two disciples.
Blacksmith Huang had a good eye, the two disciples he took had good talent. Under ten years of his guidance, the two disciples surpassed Blacksmith Huang's skill.
Then another tragedy happened to him, the two disciples left Blacksmith Huang and joined a big workshop in the commerce region. Even worse, these two ungrateful disciples broke the ties they had with Blacksmith Huang.
It was Blacksmith Huang's past. That was why when Heero showed him a breakthrough in blacksmithing. Blacksmith Huang's passion for the blacksmith was stirred by Heero. Never too late to learn, it was a good phrase for Blacksmith Huang.
Despite his age, he still showed a passion for learning new things. Blacksmith Huang's passion shocked Butcher Wang.
"Oy, what do you do to him? Why this old man so fired up?"
Heero ignored Butcher Wang, he smiled at Blacksmith Huang as he gave the same training circlets to him.
It was the same training circles as Butcher Wang when the first time he joined the training. A hundred kilos training circlets. Currently, Butcher Wang had two hundred kilos training circlets on his ankles.
As for Sun Zhou Yi, he had seven hundred kilos training circlets on his ankles and two hundred kilos training circlets on his wrists. Sun Zhou Yi was a genius, and hardworking one at that, his growth was tremendous.
"Wear this, before we start with the blacksmithing, you have to train your physical body. Your training is running for two hours with these training circlets. To use Ki, you must have a strong body!"
Heero told Blacksmith Huang his training menu. Of course, this was not the complete training menu for him, Heero still had another training for Blacksmith Huang.
"Go!"
With that, Heero had another disciple.
"The first step is done…"
...
Another month had passed, the situation on the Star Web favorably changed to Miao Miao Noodles Shop.
The customers who had tasted the noodles in Miao Miao Noodles Shop left good words on the Star Web. They also got to know the Handsome Brutal Savage waiter was in fact kind and polite.
It was 10 in the morning, there were still a few customers in the noodle shop. Heero still could get time to relax. He had his head rested on the cashier counter.
Kring!
Heero immediately stood up and greeted, "Welcome to Miao Miao Noodles Shop~"
Two men entered the shop and Heero recognized these two men, Yun Qiu Fan and Feng Bian. Since the day he tasted the Spicy Noodles that day, Yun Qiu Fan became Miao Miao Noodles Shop's regular.
Moreover, he also brought his friend over, the current record holder of Miao Miao Noodles Shop's challenge. Feng Bian's name was posted as the first person who succeeded in eating Level 6 Spicy Noodles without drinking in 10 minutes.
Hong Yu set a board on the wall and that board recorded the challenger who succeeded the challenge in Miao Miao Noodles Shop.
Meanwhile, the first person who succeeded in the Level 5 Spicy Noodles challenge was Yun Qiu Fan. After Yun Qiu Fan overcome the first challenge, Heero set up another challenge with Level 6 Spicy Noodles which was overcome by Feng Bian, Yun Qiu Fan's friend who was also a spicy food lover.
It could be said, these two were rivals. Both were trying to break the Level 7 Spicy Noodles challenge in the last two weeks, but none of them succeeded.
"Hello, Brother Xing~" Feng Bian greeted Heero with a big smile while Yun Qiu Fan nodded to Heero.
"Another duel?" Heero asked with an amused smile. He felt funny but also grateful to these two men. Because of them, Miao Miao Noodles Shop turned lively.
"Yes, in an hour, we will hold another duel and challenge Level 7 Spicy Noodles. For now, please get us Umami Broth Noodles first~" Feng Bian replied as he chose the table near the cashier counter, Yun Qiu Fan also sat right beside Feng Bian.
"Good, wait a moment please!"
Heero walked to the counter table and shouted, "Two Umami Broth Noodles!"
It did not take long, Hong Yu brought two bowls of noodles to Heero. Then, he brought the noodles to Yun Qiu Fan and Feng Bian.
Just as Heero put the two bowls, the door opened once again with a loud noise. It shocked everyone inside the shop.
Bang!
"Master! Master! I have succeeded! I have succeeded! Finally, I made a decent sword!" Blacksmith Huang aka Huang Jun ran inside the shop excitedly while bringing a long silver sword in his hand.
Blacksmith Huang rushed toward Heero and showed the sword in his hand to Heero.
"Master, Look! Look at my sword! Look!"
He kept swinging a long sword before him which scared Feng Bian. However, upon closer look, he realized this middle-aged man was just another regular. Moreover, this middle-aged was Heero's disciple. Every regular knew all of Heero's disciples, Sun Zhou Yi, Butcher Wang, and Blacksmith Huang.
"Old Man Huang, please be careful!" Feng Bian reminded in fright.
Only then, Blacksmith Huang realized he was in the shop with customers. With an embarrassed look, Huang Jun lowered his head. This middle-aged man's action was like a child who did something wrong.
Heero shook his head and turned to Han Ying. When she heard the commotion, she immediately came out of the kitchen and checked the situation. She discovered it was Blacksmith Huang who made the commotion and had an amused smile upon noticing Blacksmith Huang acted like a child.
"Sister Ying, I will leave the shop for a moment."
Han Ying nodded her head and replied with a gentle smile, "Go head~"
Heero went out of the shop and Blacksmith followed with a red face in excitement. The sword he made was still worse compared to Heero's, but he narrowed the gap in a huge chunk. Even though it was still worse, the sword was almost had the same quality as Heero's.
Heero and Blacksmith Huang headed to the workshop. Inside the workshop, Heero tested the sword. He channeled his Ki to the sword and found the Ki that did not belong to him. He swung the sword a few times and nodded his head.
"It's not bad… No, this sword is good." Heero corrected himself. Recalling Blacksmith Huang only learned to use Ki in blacksmithing for three weeks, this was huge progress.
This middle-aged man was another genius like Sun Zhou Yi. In a week, he could use Ki for practical use.
Hearing Heero's praise which he rarely heard; Blacksmith Huang smiled ear to ear. However, in the next second, Blacksmith Huang remembered something.
"Oh, yeah. Master, Vermillion Auction House contacted me. They said they would auction your sword in three days. Vermillion Auction House invited me to join their monthly auction and I can bring up to five people, do you also want to come, Master?"
Blacksmith Huang was talking about the sword that Heero made a month ago. A week ago, he brought the sword to the biggest Auction House in the commerce region, Vermillion Auction House.
It attracted Vermillion Auction House's attention, a sword that cut iron like cutting tofu. Vermillion Auction House decided to get the sword into the top ten main items of their monthly auction.
"Hmm, let me ask Hong Yu. If she wants to attend the auction, then I will join the auction. Reserve three invitations for me!" Heero responded with a little interest.
He did not have the interest in watching an auction, but if he could use this chance to date his girlfriend, why not?
After giving a quick check to the sword, Heero back to the shop. He immediately went to the kitchen.
"Dear, do you want to watch an auction?" Heero came closer to Hong Yu and asked with a soft voice.
"Auction?" Hong Yu replied with a puzzled look.
Heero told Hong Yu about his sword which would be auctioned in three days in Vermillion Auction House.
"It seems fun, Let's go!" Hong Yu seemed to be excited when he told him about his sword that would be put as the main item in an auction.
With Hong Yu's response, Heero decided to watch the auction.
...
Three days later, right at 6 pm. Heero, Hong Yu, Han Ying, Lan Lan, and Blacksmith Huang went to the biggest auction house in the commerce region, Vermillion Auction House.
