"This…" Yuan Ming, upon hearing Fang Ge's evaluation of him, was at a loss for words, somewhat at a loss for a response.
"However…"
At this point, Brother Fang suddenly changed the subject, and Yuan Ming thought he was going to mention some of his strengths. He perked up, feeling he could finally regain some face and confidence.
"However, the starting point doesn't determine future achievements. Up to now, of the one hundred and eighty-three Registered Disciples, only five people have managed to continuously swing the hammer a thousand times and forge a qualified Magic Artifact Iron ingot. Whether you can become the sixth depends more on if you are diligent enough, as well as if you can persevere," Fang Ge continued in a steady tone.
Although he didn't hear praise for himself, the phrase "the starting point doesn't determine future achievements" truly touched Yuan Ming's heart.
