Capítulo 16: Unlocking Professions

Editor: Hitesh_

The next day…

Lin Fan walked around the vicinity of the Saint Devil sect’s outer sect. Today was the outer sect disciple examination and could be considered one of the more important occasions of the Saint Devil sect. Many other outer sect disciples also went to the venue to observe wanting to see just who would become their fellow brothers and sisters.

For Lin Fan, these matters had nothing to do with him. Since the majority of the outer sect disciples went to see the examinations, there was no one left to play with him.

“Ah…” Lin Fan sighed, “So boring.” Not knowing where he walked to, Lin Fan suddenly felt that the smell of coal was strong there.

‘Dong Dong…’

Lin Fan heard the sound of striking iron and glanced around. Rows of houses were lined up, and on top of the roof of one small house, a chimney was spewing out thick black smoke. Lin Fan frowned, these guys were completely damaging the environment. Though Lin Fan thought that, he still bounded forward happily; this was after all the weapons forge of the outer sect disciples.

Each month, every outer sect disciple had a chance to receive a new piece of equipment. Furthermore, these blacksmiths were specially-trained by the sect. For a sect, aside from strong martial powers, it also needed talents from various areas, a blacksmith being one of them. Of course, the weapons used by the outer sect disciples were of the lower grades, but even these lower grades were considered top tier weapons amongst the dynasties.

Being able to cut through iron like clay, able to split single strands of hair… weapons of this caliber all actually existed.

He had been in the sect for some time now but still didn’t possess a single quality weapon. Since he was already here, naturally he would go and obtain one. Lin Fan stood there and inadvertently thought of something. ‘When I leave the sect, I will wreak havoc … no, I meant, be heroic.’

With a sword behind his back, long hair flowing clean and tidy light robes… fighting against evil and saving damsels in distress would also be a rather nice thing.

‘Dong Dong…’

The sound of hammering entered Lin Fan ears, and he suddenly woke up from his daydream, hurriedly going inside with a huge stride. Upon entering inside, Lin Fan discovered a buff looking blacksmith with a hammer in one hand and a metal plate in the other, currently vigorously pounding away. Those sturdy looking muscles made Lin Fan jump in surprise.

Strong, definitely very strong… This was totally a humanoid monster.

Realizing someone had entered, the blacksmith looked towards the emblem on Lin Fan’s waist, “Look for yourself the kind of weapon you want.” The blacksmith's voice was husky but also natural, as if he were already used to this sort of thing. Lin Fan looked at the blacksmith and smiled, “you won’t have the kind of weapon I want. Also, you won’t be able to make it.”

The previously calm blacksmith was startled after hearing Lin Fan’s words. His rough hands quivered slightly, and then he stopped his hammering.

“Are you perhaps here looking for trouble?” The blacksmith looked in a disgruntled manner at Lin Fan and asked.

“No, just being honest.” Lin Fan said.

“Hmph, I have never seen an outer sect disciple with a mouth like yours. Fine, you do it then. If you can make a weapon I have never seen before, then I will give you my most prized possession.” The blacksmith said in annoyance.

An outer sect disciple that talked big like him, he really did never see before in the decades he had been at the Saint Devi sect. The weapons he had made were uncountable, only he knew best a hundred kinds of weapons, and at this point, someone had told him he didn’t know how to forge weapons. This made the blacksmith very unhappy.

“Alright.” Lin Fan smiled and slightly glanced at the blacksmith, ‘Should I perhaps tell him that his past hobby was actually blacksmithing?’

The blacksmith put down the hammer and stepped aside, his intentions obvious, ‘If you can do it then go ahead.’

Lin Fan also went forth, holding the large and heavy hammer with his hand.

“Haha, you don’t even know how to hold the hammer properly, and you say you can forge weapons… utterly laughable.” An expert could tell right off the bat if one was experienced or not. As soon as Lin Fan held the hammer, the blacksmith started laughing. Lin Fan then rolled his eyes, “This is a secret household technique, understood?”

“Hmph, you are obviously a complete novice. Blacksmithing is a type of skill, impossible to master without decades of training. You won’t be able to make a single decent weapon like this, you should…” In Lin Fan’s eyes, this blacksmith was yet another wordy person, currently just endlessly explaining, as if he were trying to show off his knowledge in front of Lin Fan.

Lin Fan generally held in disdain these type of people; these type of people who only knew how to show off and weren’t the slightest bit humble, completely detestable.

‘Ding… unlocking profession, blacksmith.’

‘Ding… level one blacksmith (0/10).’

‘Blacksmith: an expert at forging, able to craft anything seen before into various weapons.’

At this moment, Lin Fan was stunned, ‘What’s this situation? What’s with this profession, just picking up a hammer and then hearing this show off blacksmith say a few words was enough to unlock a profession? This…this…’ At this point, Lin Fan didn’t want to say anything more, there was a feeling of being cheated.

“Get lost…just randomly pick a weapon and hurry up and leave.” Seeing that Lin Fan was just a beginner, the blacksmith didn’t want to say anything more and rushed Lin Fan to leave. “I know how to forge.” Seeing that he had become a blacksmith, Lin Fan immediately refused and retorted.

“Hurry up and leave, don’t bother me.” The blacksmith picked up his hammer once again and started pounding away, not paying any attention to Lin Fan.

“Hmph, just watch me make an unparalleled legendary weapon.” Lin Fan grimaced while saying.

“Hehe, just you…” The blacksmith said disdainfully. Lin Fan glanced at the blacksmith, “Hehe…”

After leaving, Lin Fan hurried on back to his house. Lin Fan was very curious towards his new profession, ‘What’s with this blacksmith? Was it possible that if someone just stood beside him and explained a bit, he could then learn their profession?’

‘This…this.’

Lin Fan opened his data panel and clicked on the blacksmith profession. Suddenly, a huge furnace appeared within his mind.

‘This thing… Lin Fan held his chin, experiencing a need to carefully research this. Lin Fan looked left and right, not seeing a single good material.

‘Oh…’

At this moment, Lin Fan realized that in the corner of the courtyard were some abandoned bricks. He then hurried forth, grabbing a few bricks and throwing them into the furnace.

‘Ding… congratulations on crafting a pile of useless clay, experience + 1.’

At this point, a pile of useless sticky black clay appeared in Lin Fan’s hands. He then laughed with contentment. Even something like this could level him up! After that, Lin Fan eagerly picked up another brick.

“Ding… congratulations on crafting broken tile piece, experience + 1.’

‘Ding… congratulations on crafting a pile of useless clay, experience + 1.’

‘Ding… congratulations on leveling up, level two blacksmith (0/50).’

‘Ding… congratulations on crafting slightly broken tile piece, experience + 1.’


Capítulo 17: A Weakling That Only Gave Ten Experience Points

Editor: Hitesh_

At this moment, Lin Fan was crazily throwing bricks one after another into the furnace as if he were possessed by a demon. Aside from increasing his experience, the stuff he crafted was either broken tiles or useless clay. His blacksmith profession was already level four, but all the stuff he crafted was complete trash, Lin Fan was now already full of doubts.

‘Is it possible that even though I unlocked professions, I still can only craft piles of junk? Actually, this couldn’t even be considered junk.’ Lin Fan stared at the junk in front of him while breathing hard, about to go mad. “Yours truly just won’t accept this…” Lin Fan roared out angrily, opening crazy mode as he began throwing the piles of junk once again into the furnace.

‘Ding… the material breaks and disappears.’

‘Ding… the material breaks and disappears.’

"How can this be?” Lin Fan looked helplessly at the empty courtyard. The original three walls were now nonexistent. Aside from leveling his blacksmith skill to level four, he didn’t craft a single useful item. At this point, Lin Fan doubted life itself and also doubted his own forging level. ‘This doesn’t make sense… this completely doesn’t make sense. In the modern era, I was an enthusiastic fan of forging after all. How come after arriving here, I can’t even craft a piece of garbage?’

After working hard all day, the sky was already darkening, and the outer sect disciples that went out to observe the exam should have already returned. “Junior brother Lin, what happened to the walls around your courtyard?” Yin Mo Chen, who had just returned back to his house, asked curiously after seeing Lin Fan’s buck naked house.

“Oh, I don’t know. When I woke up, it was all gone. Senior brother, how was today’s outer sect examination?” Lin Fan didn’t want to say anything more, the reason being the topic was too painful.

“Excellent! There were many potential seedlings, so the sect was very excited.” Yin Mo Chen also said this a bit excitedly. But upon seeing junior brother Lin’s expression looking a bit down, Yin Mo Chen became slightly worried. “Junior brother Lin, are you alright? You don’t look too well. Is it possible you are still injured from last time? This is despicable! Senior brother Yi is just busy shielding and didn’t even bother to give a reply. Tomorrow, I will go demand some justice for you.” Yin Mo Chen said.

“It’s not that, Senior brother. I am just tired. I will be returning now.” Lin Fan lowered his head and said. “Junior brother…” Yin Mo Chen watched Lin Fan worriedly, ‘His figure seemed somewhat depressed, is he really alright?’

Lin Fan lied down on his bed and gave a sigh, ‘Today was a complete waste. All my efforts were for nothing. At least give me something useful and let me feel a bit happy.’ But this entire day, it was either rubbish or broken, with not a single decent item appearing.

“F*ck…” Lin Fan covered himself with his bed sheets and without a further word went to sleep. At this moment, the room became silent, the fire flickered about inside the lantern on the table, as if it were reacting to Lin Fan. The sky became darker, and aside from the moonlight and bright stars shining down upon the earth, all was silent and peaceful.

“Ah, I refuse to accept this.” Lin Fan suddenly sat up, throwing aside his bed sheets, now fully awake.

Without another word, Lin Fan rose up and left the room, slowly disappearing into the darkness.

In a certain outer sect disciple’s house, the insides were still bright, and the person inside was obviously not asleep. Currently, inside the house, Wang Tianfeng smiled while taking out a manual he had just obtained today from his senior brother Yi Zhongyu.

《Burning Palm》

The world’s martial skills were divided into four categories - heaven, earth, dark, and light.

Though this manual 《Burning Palm》 was a lower martial skill of the dark category, to Wang Tianfeng, this was a precious martial skill. Outer sect disciples could only practice martial skills under the light category. As for the dark category, only inner sect disciples could study them.

Wang Tianfeng hastily opened the manual and began diligently remembering the incantations. As long as he mastered the 《Burning Palm》, even Ni Mingyang wouldn’t be a match for him.

Upon thinking about Ni Mingyang, Wang Tianfeng was filled with anger, ‘That despicable guy actually went and snitched on him to Senior brother Yi. Luckily, Senior brother Yi is open-minded and took no notice of that guy.’

Of course, Wang Tianfeng understood that the reason Senior brother Yi ignored that guy was because he couldn’t be bothered with it, as that person still wasn’t of concern to him. After remembering a few lines of incantations, Wang Tianfeng carefully stored the manual away within his chest and got into a lotus position while focusing on the incantations.

‘Dong Dong…’

At this time, Wang Tianfeng frowned, ‘Who would come this late at night?’

‘Dong Dong…’ The knocking continued endlessly.

“I’m coming, I’m coming. Not going to sleep even though it’s so late, just what do you want?” Wang Tianfeng shouted while swearing. But when Wang Tianfeng opened his door, he was stunned. There was not a single person in sight. He then swore loudly and closed the door, hastily getting back into the lotus position in his bed.

"Dong Dong…” A knock sounded on the door once again at this moment.

“Who’s there?” "At this point, Wang Tianfeng didn’t get out of bed and instead impatiently shouted. After hearing the person outside continually knocking on the door, Wang Tianfeng became livid, immediately rushing off the bed and opening the door. But what made Wang Tianfeng even more enraged was the fact that there wasn’t a single person outside.

“Who’s there? Show yourself, coming to disturb me in middle of the night! I will kill you!” Wang Tianfeng shouted while swearing.

Lin Fan, who was hiding in the shadows, began laughing upon seeing the flustered looking Wang Tianfeng, his previous depression now all swept away. After Wang Tianfeng closed his door again, Lin Fan silently crept forth, preparing another wave. But when Lin Fan arrived in front of the entrance, Wang Tianfeng suddenly opened the door.

Lin Fan jolted obviously surprised. ‘Damn…It seems Wang Tianfeng also knows how to be sly.’

“Alright then, so it was you. It seems yesterday’s punishment wasn’t enough. In that case, I will let you know what happens to people like you.” After seeing it was Lin Fan, Wang Tianfeng immediately launched a fist forth without a second word.

“Brat, let’s see who can save you now.” Wang Tianfeng was enraged at this point. This guy repeatedly tried to provoke him; he was simply testing his patience.

‘Bam…’

The punch which contained all of Wang Tianfeng’s anger smashed upon Lin Fan. According to Wang Tianfeng, it seemed that this time he would be gravely injured.

‘Ding… congratulations 《Eternal Demon Body》 experience +10.’

“Huh?” Lin Fan was a bit surprised.

“Huh?” Wang Tianfeng was in disbelief.

“You…” Wang Tianfeng looked at Lin Fan in disbelief, ‘How is this guy still alright?’

As for Lin Fan, he didn’t think that this guy would merely increase his experience by ten points.

‘What…What the hell!’

“You brat, Yours Truly just didn’t use his full strength. Just letting you settle in a bit.” Wang Tianfeng did not believe that his punch had no effect on the other party. He gave an angry roar, prepared to use his full strength to make this guy understand just what kind of horrible thing would happen to people who provoked him. But at this point, Wang Tianfeng’s angry expression suddenly changed. There was a bit of ecstasy along with a bit of sourness.

“Seriously…only ten points? Useless.” Lin Fan rolled his eyes, then turned around and left in disdain.

‘Ding… congratulations《Monkey Steals Peach》+ 100.’

‘Ding… defeated sixth level precelestial, Wang Tianfeng, experience + 500.’

“You…You” The previously enraged Wang Tianfeng held his crotch while crouching down, as tears streamed down his face. The pain within his eggs swept throughout his entire body.

“Lin Fan, I will never forgive you!” Wang Tianfeng roared out with his last ounce of strength as tears surged forth.

In the darkness, Lin Fan’s dull reply echoed forth.

“Weakling that only gives ten experience points…”
