The School Beauty’s Super Rogue

Under the hammer’s pounding, the branding iron was in a semi-soft state due to the heat.

So soon, the shape of a weapon appeared.

Everyone looked closely, and it turned out to be the Heaven-piercing Halberd!

"Looks like it! It’s almost identical!"

Feng Ziyun, an expert in weapons, spoke up, and the others nodded in agreement.

Shortly after, the edges of the Heaven-piercing Halberd were also hammered out, and finally, it took its complete form!~

The final step was quenching. Qin Hao picked up the iron piece and placed it into the water tank nearby.

Sizzle sizzle!

The hot temperature dropped under the water.

The thick smoke filled the space, making many feel a bit of a sting in their noses.

However, no one complained about the discomfort to their bodies.

Because the Heaven-piercing Halberd had been taken out and now stood on the ground.

To the eye, it looked like an ordinary halberd!

But upon closer inspection, one could see that every inch of the halberd was crafted to perfection, giving off an overwhelming feeling!

A weapon that could evoke such a sense in people’s hearts could already be called a fine weapon!

"Good!" Feng Ziyun shouted loudly, grabbed the Heaven-piercing Halberd, moved away from the crowd, and swung it in his hands.

Clang clang clang!

The sound of the Heaven-piercing Halberd cutting through the air was exceptionally clear.

After playing with it for a while, Feng Ziyun had a look of admiration on his face: "This is a divine artifact!"

These words left everyone in shock. Feng Ziyun, being a blacksmith with strict standards for weapons, even he exclaimed that it’s a divine artifact, then how amazing must this weapon be?

"It’s not quite a divine artifact..." Qin Hao shook his head with a smile: "It’s just similar in shape, the material is still lacking, if there were Spirit Stones or Fine Iron, I could forge it even more formidable!"

"I guarantee, if given some Spiritual Objects, you could make this weapon come alive!"

Feng Ziyun made an objective evaluation.

Because of his words, everyone’s gaze toward Qin Hao became heated.

If Flower Arrangement and culinary skills were merely trivial arts, just to cultivate temperament,

then Artifact Refining was different.

It was a hot profession, as revered as Alchemy.

On the Immortal Path, Elixirs and weapons were indispensable.

For this reason, every Artifact Refiner and Alchemist was considered relatively noble.

Even those disciples within the Inner Sect who could refine artifacts, regardless of their strength, would be treated as honored guests.

Therefore, the skills Qin Hao showcased had already revealed that he was no ordinary person.

"Impressive!"

Wu Xiang was genuinely convinced, giving Qin Hao a thumbs up: "Buddy! I finally understand why Master took you in! Your talent in the arts is no less than that Ji Yue’Er!"

"Humph! Ji Yue’Er isn’t that great!" Ma Jiajia said, not convinced: "That girl only knows how to fight, could she make fish or forge iron? She’s useless! So, junior apprentice is even better!"

"I also think junior apprentice is amazing!"

Feng Ziyun gave his praise.

Though people were evaluating Qin Hao, their eyes occasionally fell on Chu Mo.

Frankly, Qin Hao’s display of talent today was in no small part due to Chu Mo’s instigation.

If not for that, Qin Hao might still be hiding, making people think he was just an ordinary junior apprentice.

Now, the junior apprentice had shown his brilliance, winning everyone over.

And Chu Mo, who had always looked down on the junior apprentice, what was his true feeling?

When thinking of this, everyone couldn’t help but feel a bit gleeful inside.

If you don’t seek trouble, you won’t find trouble.

Oh Chu Mo, if you hadn’t pressured the junior apprentice, how could this outcome have occurred?

Don’t shoot yourself in the foot.

These thoughts were just internal grumblings from everyone.

Yet, Chu Mo seemed to almost hear them.

His face turned red, angrily roaring: "In this world, in the end, it’s all about strength! What forging, flower arranging, and cooking are all trivial!"

He paused, then continued to shout: "If someone comes to kill you? Do you rely on forging or flower arranging to fend them off? In the end, it’s only your own strength!"

This statement made everyone’s face drop.

Indeed, they were reluctant to criticize Chu Mo out of camaraderie.

However, his current behavior was truly vile!

If your culinary skills are lacking, fine, Qin Hao generously showed Flower Arrangement.

If you think Flower Arrangement isn’t enough, he then showed Artifact Refining.

But in the end, you’re still finding excuses to disparage him?

Throughout, did Qin Hao ever say a bad word about you?

Comparing these in their hearts, the difference was obvious.

The once esteemed Chu Mo became worthless, like some degenerate.

While the newly inducted Qin Hao gained everyone’s favor.

"What’s with your looks? Am I wrong!"

Faced with their disdainful looks, Chu Mo shouted frantically: "Good! So much for brotherly camaraderie, you all side with this little bastard!"

"Enough!" Feng Ziyun spoke coldly: "Chu Mo, please stop with the nonsense! After all, none of us are obliged to entertain your tantrums!"

"That’s right, tolerating you is to avoid conflict, don’t push your luck!"

"Yeah, why can’t you learn from Qin Hao? Obviously, so talented, yet so humble, Chu Mo, you’re failing as a senior apprentice!"

At first, Chu Mo was bewildered by everyone’s words.

But hearing "Qin Hao" made him snap back, his face full of anger: "Are you seriously comparing me to this newbie garbage? Can he possibly compare to me?"

Everyone knew Chu Mo was enraged, choosing to ignore him with cold, indifferent stares.

The colder the stares, the more agitated Chu Mo felt inside.

He shouted at Qin Hao in fury: "Little bastard! Don’t think you’re great just because others back you! If you have the guts, face me in a fair fight!"

This, of course, was just a maddened outburst.

Chu Mo himself had no real intention to duel Qin Hao.

But unexpectedly, something happened.

Qin Hao’s lips lifted slightly: "Since Senior Brother Chu Mo is so insistent, I accept your challenge to a duel."

Honestly, Qin Hao wasn’t a saint, he’d long been angered by Chu Mo.

Initially, he didn’t want to make things too awkward, given they were fellow apprentices.

But being good-natured couldn’t stop someone from courting trouble!

If you seek trouble, then let it be!

With Qin Hao’s acceptance, everyone present was amazed.

Chu Mo was the first to snap out of it.

His face twisted: "Well then! Little bastard, you said it! I won’t hold back just because you’re younger!"

"No need for courtesy, senior brother, give it your all."

Qin Hao said calmly, but the senior apprentices couldn’t help it anymore.

"Qin Hao! Don’t be reckless!"

"Yeah! It’s just a minor issue! Don’t act impulsively!"

"We’re all fellow apprentices, there’s no need for an unnecessary duel. Master will be upset!"
