Welcome!
The wind chimes rang, and Shi Jiulian, who was sitting in a rocking chair smoking a pipe, put down the book in his hand and listened to Jiang Xie's voice welcoming guests at the door.
However, the footsteps of the customers did not come towards the shopping area, but rather towards him.
"Huh? You...you are!"
Shi Jiulian stared in astonishment at the young man before him. Compared to Liu Lang last year, the current Liu Lang had more resilience and confidence, as well as a touch of authority!
He's back!!!
"Uncle Shi!"
Liu Lang smiled and stepped forward to hug Shi Jiulian, who looked dazed before turning to look at Jiang Xie, who had followed them all the way.
"Liu Lang? You...how could this be? How could you possibly return here?"
Shi Jiulian glanced at the weapon shop, which was deserted, took out the "Closed" sign, went outside and hung it up, then led Jiang Xie and Liu Lang back to the living room.
"Hehe, we're returning home in glory this time, with a mission. Most students don't even get this kind of treatment!"
Of course, the main reason was the fierce fighting on the border. The teachers in Zhongzhou couldn't spare any extra manpower, so they asked a team of top freshmen and sophomores to come here to inspect the area instead of a group of teachers.
Liu Lang recounted to Uncle Shi the events of the past year since they started university, and Uncle Shi nodded with a smile. He never expected Liu Lang to have such an exciting year, and even advance to... late-stage two-star?!
Shi Jiulian was startled. When Liu Lang mentioned that they had gone to the Northern Region Polar Night University for scientific experiments, Shi Jiulian hadn't felt anything, but after seeing Liu Lang's cultivation level, he was completely dumbfounded.
Did I misjudge back then? Was Liu Lang not an F-rank master craftsman? Was he an SSS-rank master craftsman from the start?
After another clandestine test, the ability detector showed an energy standard of E-level master craftsman.
This is truly remarkable. A late-stage two-star realm cultivator is likely among the most outstanding individuals at Dragon God University.
Is this really something a god-level ability user could do? And he's not even a combatant.
"Come on, let's get acquainted. This is... well, your junior brother."
"Come here, Jiang Xie, this is your senior brother, named Liu Lang. He graduated last year."
Liu Lang and Jiang Xie shook hands, both of them smiling.
Especially Liu Lang, he never expected that Uncle Shi, who never took on apprentices, would take on another student after he left.
Hehe, I guess I'm just that charming, right?
Uncle Shi even wanted to teach his apprentices himself.
"Uncle Shi, I met your old friend and even studied under him for a while."
"Oh? Who?"
"Master Tang, Tang Baiye."
Tang Baiye!
Shi Jiulian's eyes flashed with a sharp light. It was actually this person!
Back then, this man was a rising star in the weapon-refining world. Even as a veteran weapon-refining master, he had to admit that given time, Tang Baiye would completely surpass him.
However, Tang Baiye's special ability is not only in crafting, but also in combat, so he spends half of his time training his combat skills.
Therefore, his career in weapon crafting has remained lukewarm.
Even so, he was still a dark horse in the All-Around Master Refiner Competition that year, stumbling his way into the finals.
Their opponent in the final was Shi Jiulian, who had won six consecutive championships.
Tang Baiye, an SS-level Skybreaker Hammer user, and Shi Jiulian, an S-level Nine Refinements user!
Dark horse and six-time champion!
After a series of competitions that included weapons, innovation, equipment, refining, multi-forging, specialization, and sublimation, Shi Jiulian finally won by a narrow margin!
This greatly shocked Tang Baiye at the time!
He...lost?
Although Tang Baiye won the championship in the annual All-Around Master Refiner Competition every year after that, Shi Jiulian was deeply involved in the public opinion of the Refiner Association after that competition. After enduring it to no avail, he chose to become a hermit.
He then used Dragon God University to live out the rest of his life in the Sixth Safe Zone.
If nothing unexpected happens.
However, Vesa was very dissatisfied because Dragon God School had very few secondary professions. The main theme of Dragon God University was superpowers, while the main theme of Polar Night University was magic and technology.
Only Storm University in the south is about martial arts and cultivation.
This means that, apart from Storm University, Dragon God and Polar Night have very few professional teachers for a series of skills such as weapon crafting, treasure crafting, talisman making, and formation, and Polar Night University is even more so.
Fortunately, the people at the Institute of Science and Technology were able to take on a lot of responsibilities, and teachers from Ryusei University were also brought in to form a comprehensive institute.
Dragon God University also has many teachers hired from Storm University, but no matter what, it cannot make up for the lack of an excellent weapon-refining master.
Therefore, when Liu Lang left the Sixth Security Zone, Wei Sha tried his best to get Shi Jiulian to come out of seclusion again.
However, after much hesitation, Shi Jiulian shook his head and refused.
And now he has learned of Tang Baiye's existence from Liu Lang.
It seems that Wei Sha has made a comeback. Perhaps it was because of his competition with Tang Baiye back then that he attracted Master Tang Baiye from the south to join Dragon God University.
Ah...that's good. This way, Liu Lang's talent for weapon crafting won't be wasted...
"Liu Lang, Uncle Shi has a favor to ask you."
"What is it? Uncle Shi, please tell me, I will help in any way I can."
Seeing Liu Lang's clean and concise answer, Shi Jiulian turned his head with a wry smile to look at Jiang Xie beside him.
"I hope you can take Jiang Xie away and let him become Tang Baiye's disciple like you, so that he can learn the art of weapon crafting properly."
