Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 304: Little Blue vs Little Plum Part9

After Grandmaster Hiru left, Miller as well regained his composition and nodded in approval. “You have worked hard.”

“Thank you, Master.” Tang Yue humbly bowed.

He didn’t drone on with unnecessary praises and quickly moved on to the next issue at hand.

“Why don’t you try your Hundred Swings refinement now?” Miller suggested.

Tang Yue nodded and quickly took out a chunk of Mollium ore. 

She then calmly and patiently once again swung the hammer repeatedly on the small chunk of ore.

Bang.

Bang.

However, she suddenly paused.

Just after two swings, Tang Yue could already feel a slight difference.

After working with the highest grade Kirrion ore chunks continuously, this slab of metal in front of her suddenly felt far less complicated.

She still used her skill ‘One with the Earth’ but this time the efficiency was much higher.

She could feel each and every single aspect of the metal and identify the impurities hampering its structure.

Mana thrummed from her every hit and the impurities from the metal slowly dissolved into nothingness.

Tang Yue felt as if a veil hindering her vision had disappeared and she could not easily solve the puzzle.

She quickly calmed down and resumed her hammer swings until one hundred perfect hammer swings registered on the chunk of metal.

The difference was not noticeable in the beginning but now she could definitely see a change in the metal’s luster itself.

The purple hue of the Mollium ore appeared unusually bright and shone with a flash of special brilliance.

Tang Yue quickly put down the hammer which she was holding and hurriedly threw the refined metal into the blast furnace.

She then poured the molten metal into a set of molds and in the end prepared four long swords.

Now only the final step was left and Tang Yue quickly infused earthen essence and fire essence into the sword until she felt the perfect balance and synergy.

KaBang!

Tang Yue’s final hit landed on the sword and her mesmerizing emerald eyes twinkled in delight.

Lying inconspicuously in front of her was neither a mid-grade nor a high-grade weapon, rather a powerful rare-grade weapon!!!

Mollium ores were high-grade ores and typically resulted only in high-grade weapons.

Only in rare occasions, that too with extra precious materials added in, did the ore seldom give birth to rare-grade weapons. 

However, just like she did before, Tang Yue had once again managed to forge the weapon to perfection and in the process elevated the weapon’s attributes.

This was much easier said than done. After all, she was now working with high-grade materials and not low-grade materials like she was using before.

But the woman still managed to achieve the same results and produced a splendid rare-grade weapon on her first try.

Even Miller who was typically stern and indifferent revealed a proud expression.

The dwarf walked over and closely examined the weapon in front of Tang Yue.

Ironically, other than the soul sword, this was the strongest weapon in Tang Yue’s possession!

Even Xander himself possessed a sword only slightly more powerful than the one in front of Tang Yue.

But Tang Yue was not done yet. This time she had merely used the Hundred Swings refinement method.

There was still the Thousand Swings refinement method!

She licked her lips greedily and excitedly exclaimed. “Master, I want to try again!!!”

The dwarf who was still examining the long sword chuckled helplessly.

“Didn’t you continuously work hard for the past few weeks?” 

“You should take a rest tonight. You can do the rest tomorrow.”

Tang Yue obediently nodded even though she clearly looked displeased.

The dwarf laughed at her childish expressions again and walked out muttering under his breath. 

“Aha Ha Ha. I am not talented enough to teach your daughter, my dear.”

After the dwarf left, Tang Yue decided to take the night off just like he had advised. 

She also felt a bit mentally drained from continually focusing on one thing after another.

She ran upstairs to find Charlotte but the elf was still busily cultivating.

So Tang Yue picked out one of the rooms on the first floor and went inside to take a long restful nap.

Maybe because she was still in her serpentine form, she couldn’t help but think of a certain task that she had completely forgotten about.

She had never let Xander know about her well-being and that she was safe and fine for now.

Charlotte had also told her about how the man had protected her even when they were amidst a sea of dwarfs.

So Tang Yue reluctantly took out some communication jade slips and tried recording a message.

“I don’t owe that jerk any updates, but whatever…”

She mulled over her thoughts a bit and decided to send something simple.

[I am fine.]

But Tang Yue immediately crushed the jade slip soon afterward. 

She didn’t want to sound too rude and ungrateful.

[I am fine. Thank you.]

A couple of seconds later, Tang Yue again crushed this jade slip, breaking it into two.

She turned restlessly on the bed and decided to add a bit more detail.

[Thank you for the help. I am doing well.]

“Damn it! This sounds like I am sucking up to that jerk. No this won’t do.”

Tang Yue again broke the jade slip.

Slightly frustrated with her predicament, she screamed into the next jade slip.

[You jerk! You jerk! You jerk! You hateful jerk!]

And then she chuckled and once again, broke the jade slip. 

She had wanted to say these words to his face for a long time and felt slightly content after speaking them out loud.

[I am fine now. I have a mentor and I am learning how to forge weapons.]

[I am doing well. I met someone who is willing to teach me smithing. Thank you for your help.]

[I am fine and will most likely be returning soon. How are you doing?]

…

…

…

Tang Yue continued fidgeting with the jade slips for a while and ended up trying out several different versions of her message.

She still couldn’t make up her mind on what exactly to tell the man, when suddenly Charlotte barged into the room excitedly.

“You are back!” She happily exclaimed and jumped onto the bed right next to Tang Yue.

She couldn’t help but notice the jade dust sprayed everywhere and curiously asked. 

“Who did you send so many messages to?”

Huh? Tang Yue frowned slightly. A small ominous feeling arose in her chest.

“I was just testing something. I actually didn’t send.” She retorted back hurriedly.

“No Yue.” Charlotte took the jade slip currently in her hand and mumbled. 

“These are different communication slips. See here, the rune would have already gotten activated.”

Gudang!

Tang Yue’s heart instantly sank and her face paled. 

Did she just send a bunch of nonsensical messages to that damned villain???

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
