"Bang" After ten minutes of pounding, Wallace dropped the hammer on the metal one last time and it glittered with a silvery red color. The metal has already shrunk to a third of its size but the silvery red color is more prominent and denser and there are cloud like patter on its surface. He took the hammer and used his dream sense to penetrate the metal and see the tangled strings which were its circuit in it. He started to knock on them while also vibrating the hammer he is using to slowly untangle them. This is a method he has discovered after almost forty times of extreme refinement. After another seven minutes, a pillar of light rose five meters into the air from the metal and it lingered for sometimes before stopping. The three people could not help but look at the light mesmerized.
"Can blacksmithing be done this way" is the thought on their mind. After he's finished, he popped the metal into the section of the table, he don't need to worry about damaging its integrity again now that it has been extremely refines. After ten minutes, the metal was further heated into a semi liquid state and he brought it out before he slowly use his hammer to forge it into its required shape.
A minute later, a perfectly round one meter pole appeared and he brought out a drill. He looked at the arrangement of the circuit inside the metal and looked at its empty center before he drilled a small hole where the circuit core will be inserted before throwing it into the water. Smoke rose from the water and within a minute the metal was perfectly forged.
"Circuit core" he asked.
"Ahh" the two blacksmith in the room were flustered for a second because they don't expect this small boy to be able to forge but the president quickly brought a small white core with series of rune on it. Wallace tool it and inserted it into the hole that he has drilled. The metal absorbed it itself and quickly closed around the core before it lit up and the core in it was visible. He took the piece of one meter long pole.
"Did I pass the test" he asked. The president took the metal and looked at it as if he is looking at his long lost son. He instinctively inject a little bit of mana into it and the series of rune on the metal glittered. A gun appeared on his finger and he took out the mouth of the guy and inserted this pole into it. He injected a little bit of mana and pressed the trigger. A column of beam rushed out from the gun and
"Bam" before they could react it had penetrated the metal.
Twenty minutes later Wallace was in the president office. The president look at the pole in his arm excitedly.
"It can amplify the power of a gun by three times and it has self-recovery ability which can make it far more durable and have a longer life than its counterpart. Most importantly, its power will be amplified when mana is injected into it" the president said excited. Compared to this piece of metal, everything he's forged is simply trash compared to it and he could not think about how a ten years old boy can create this revolutionary method of forging. He watched the footage of how Wallace went about forging the metal and the feeling of going into seclusion to try out the method is simply weighing on his mind but first, he must take care of this young man.
"I want to buy this metal, I will pay a hundred thousand dollars from it" he said. Wallace shrugged, a normally tempered pole is just one thousand dollars but he know that the price of the pole is worth it.
"I'm here to make money in the first place" he thought. "He brought out a series of refined metals that he has worked on before.
"How about helping me to sell this one" he asked.
"In three days, I will prepare an auction house for it" he answered.
"I want it to be kept a secret from the outside world and I can only accept blacksmithing mission secretly" He said.
"I understand, I will review and personally give you any blacksmithing mission anytime you need it" The man said.
"When do you intend to take another mission" The man asked.
"In a week" He answered. He want to first reach level ten before he focus on making money either for his cultivation or for his future forging and also there are series of things he has to forge. He need a long range weapon and also some miscellaneous things that he will use in the future while also forging a special set of gloves for himself.
"I will specially go through every of your mission and give you the most profitable ones in a month but I will take care of your auction in three days" He said.
"What about my blacksmith badge" He asked.
"It will be forged for you and you will receive it three days later" the man said.
"Also I want it to be kept as a secret" he said emphasizing the secret part.
"Don't worry sir, I will specially take care of the witness there" The man told him.
"Do you have a teacher?" The man could not help but ask.
"My teacher is Lucy Hale" he answered and the latter quickly kept shut. Of course, he knows Lucy Hale.
"You can count on me anytime you need anything" the man answered.
"Of course I need some things" he said as he handed the man a list. The man face turned strange when he saw what's on the list.
"I want it to be kept a secret and I will pay for it by forging" He told him.
"I will try to get it and I will get back to you in three days" The man said.
"Thanks" He said. Minutes later, he is walking home with Jeff who is looking at him occasionally, the latter could not help but look at his young master with respect.

His progress is supposed to be faster than that but the amount of beast in the jungle has reduced the rate at which he run into rank three mutated beasts has significantly reduced. He will have to venture deeper into the danger zone of the jungle before he can continue but he still has reservations. He is sure that the danger zone of the jungle must have a lot of beast in rank 3 and there might even be some strange beasts higher than rank 3 mutated beast so he does not want to venture into the place, he has shifted his focus into rank two beasts which has slowed down his rate of advancement but either ways, he will be able to complete this one month mission soon. He has also stopped forging to train in various combat abilities including the wielding of weapon. He has a lot of combat abilities back from earth that deals with the use of halberd. He is also far proficient in it and as a result of rigorous training. The amount of qi his body can hold has increased by more than half.
This is the day his metal will make its first debut in the blacksmithing organization so he want to go to the blacksmith organization and see how they will run things. He soon arrived at the blacksmith organization with the white cat on his shoulder but was surprised at what he saw. He saw up to ten cars in the vicinity of the building and considering how rare a car is, ten of it at one place is simply too influential. At that moment he got an inkling of the influence the blacksmith organization has. There are a lot of exotic carriages outside the organization. Wallace entered the building and went to the president office directly. There are three men sitting inside the office apart from the president and they were talking about something. After some minutes, they walked out from the office leaving the president and Wallace.
Robert (The president) could not help but look at this body in a newfound light, he went into seclusion upon dismissing Wallace that day and he finally got the gist of the blacksmithing weapon and made a breakthrough in his blacksmithing ability that has been stagnant for decades. The metal he can now forge is able to amplify any attribute focused on by two times. He cannot still make the metal absorb mana and he know that it will take him years for him to reach that stage. He realized that their method of forging before has been too trashy and wasteful. A waste of metal and circuit core. He could not help but still be excited and looked at the boy that was able to do this in a newfound light.
