Shen Qiu, standing by, nearly had his eyes pop out.

Guild Master Gu actually agreed to the outrageous demands Ouyezi made!

Was he not afraid that the Heaven-Defying Genius he painstakingly nurtured would just pack up and leave?

Gu Yan knew perfectly well.

This kid was right.

With his forging talent, where wouldn't he shine?

A small Forging Guild in Tianhai City simply couldn't hold back this latent Dragon.

Rather than watching him fall into the arms of others, it was better to use the utmost sincerity to establish this good relationship now.

In the future, there might be unexpected surprises.

Soon, both parties finalized the details and signed a standard contract.

Gu Yan's face broke into a wide smile, and he pulled an ancient-looking ring from his Storage Pouch at his waist, handing it to Ouyezi.

"Young friend, this is a small token of my appreciation."

"A Spatial Ring, consider it a welcome gift for joining the Guild."

Zhou Huai, controlling Ouyezi, took it, and a ripple also spread through his heart.

A Spatial Ring!

Each of these items was priceless.

Even the most common ones started at five hundred thousand great xia currency!

This Guild Master Gu was truly generous!

He put the ring on his finger and, with a slight thought, a hidden space within the ring, a full ten cubic meters in size, quietly revealed itself.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Guild Master Gu," Ouyezi said sincerely.

Gu Yan waved his hand dismissively, not caring at all.

"It's a small trinket, nothing to be too grateful for."

He looked at Ouyezi, concerned, and said, "Young friend, you've continuously forged so many bracers, you must be tired."

"If there's nothing else, go back and rest."

"If you don't have a place to stay, I'll have Shen Qiu arrange a quiet villa for you."

Zhou Huai, controlling Ouyezi, shook his head.

"Guild Master, I'm not tired."

"I still want to go to the Advanced Forging Room and try forging a few more pieces of equipment."

Gu Yan heard this and a look of unconcealed surprise appeared on his face.

Are the S-Rank Forgemasters all this abnormal in their stamina?

An ordinary Forgemaster, successfully forging one or two pieces of equipment a day, would already be exhausted, tired like a dog.

This kid, all in all today, must have forged no less than a dozen pieces of equipment, right?

And he's still full of vigor, saying he's not tired?!

He had no idea that Zhou Huai's Clone was equipped with an AI core, so there was no such thing as an energy bar.

As long as the Materials were sufficient, he could theoretically forge indefinitely!

Gu Yan suppressed the shock in his heart, nodded, and looked at Shen Qiu, who was standing by.

"Shen Qiu, since Ouyezi is so enthusiastic, take him there."

Shen Qiu quickly bowed and responded, "Guild Master, rest assured, I will arrange everything properly."

Afterward, the two left the Guild Master's office.

Ouyezi did not immediately go to the Advanced Forging Room on the top floor.

He first came to the blueprint sales counter on the second floor.

The dazzling array of blueprints made people dizzy.

Zhou ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) Huai's gaze was sharp, and he quickly filtered them.

Soon, he selected several blueprints.

【Forging Blueprint: Shadow Wind Boots (Excellent)】

【Forging Blueprint: Shadow Wind Chestplate (Excellent)】

【Forging Blueprint: Shadow Wind Bracers (Excellent)】

【Forging Blueprint: Shadow Wind Belt (Excellent)】

This was an eight-Rank blue Excellent-quality set!

Four-piece set effect: All attributes increased by 15%, restores 1% Health per second in out-of-combat state.

If it could be forged to a higher quality, the set effect would be further enhanced!

This set of equipment was simply tailor-made for Yasuo!

Then, he also chose an eight-Rank Wind Breaker Longsword blueprint.

With everything ready, Ouyezi, led by Shen Qiu, arrived at the fifth floor of the Guild.

The entire fifth floor was spacious and quiet.

Only a massive bronze gate stood silently at the end of the corridor.

Intricate flame patterns were carved on the door, emanating an ancient and powerful aura.

"Mr. Ouyezi, this is our Guild's only Advanced Forging Room," Shen Qiu said with a hint of reverence in his tone.

Ouyezi nodded and pushed open the heavy bronze door.

"Boom—"

A wave of heat, far hotter and purer than that of the Elementary Forging Room, rushed out!

The interior of the Advanced Forging Room was extremely spacious.

The most striking feature was the colossal dark-gold forging furnace in the center of the room!

Beneath the forging furnace, not ordinary fire burned.

Instead, a cluster of eerie blue flames, like a living entity, quietly pulsed, emitting a terrifying high temperature that made one's heart palpitate!

"Is this... an Exotic Flame?" Ouyezi murmured to himself.

It was indeed extraordinary.

Just by getting close, one could feel the immense fire-elemental energy contained within it.

Forging equipment with this Exotic Flame would surely greatly improve both success rate and quality!

A moment later, Shen Qiu personally led people to deliver all the Materials Ouyezi needed, one by one.

Various rare Ores and exotic beast Materials piled up on the forging table.

"Mr. Ouyezi, all the Materials are here. If you have any other needs, please let me know at any time," Shen Qiu said respectfully.

Ouyezi thanked him and slowly closed the heavy stone door of the Advanced Forging Room.

"System, AI takeover," Zhou Huai instructed in his mind.

The liveliness in Ouyezi's eyes flickered slightly, then returned to normal, and he silently began a new round of forging work.

Only then did Zhou Huai's consciousness return to his main body.

A strong wave of fatigue washed over him, his eyelids drooped, and he fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning.

Sunlight streamed through the window, falling on Zhou Huai's face.

He suddenly sat up in bed, checking Ouyezi's results immediately.

His consciousness sank in.

Inside the Advanced Forging Room.

On the forging table, the four pieces of the Shadow Wind Set, along with the Wind Breaker Longsword, were neatly arranged. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Each piece of equipment emitted a brilliant glow far exceeding Excellent quality!

Zhou Huai, controlling Ouyezi, stepped forward and picked up the Shadow Wind Boots.

【Shadow Wind Boots (Rare ★★★)】

【Required Rank: LV8】

【Defense: +80】

【Agility: +15】

【Movement Speed: +10%】

Rare three-star!

He picked up the Shadow Wind Chestplate.

【Shadow Wind Chestplate (Rare ★★★★)】

Rare four-star!

Shadow Wind Bracers, Rare three-star!

Wind Breaker Longsword, Rare four-star!

When he picked up the last piece, the Shadow Wind Belt, his breath hitched slightly.

【Shadow Wind Belt (Rare ★★★★★)】

Rare five-star! Full star!

【Shadow Wind Set (4/4) Effect】:

【1. All attributes increased by 32%!】

【2. In out-of-combat state, restore 3% Health per second!】

"Hiss!" Zhou Huai gasped.

These attributes were simply Heaven-Defying!

On the market, an ordinary eight-Rank Rare equipment could sell for at least ten thousand great xia currency.

Those with set effects would have their prices double or triple!

This single Shadow Wind Set alone, its value, had probably exceeded one hundred and fifty thousand great xia currency!

And this was just the cost price of the Materials!

If it were put up for auction, the price could be even higher!

Zhou Huai put all the equipment into the Spatial Ring one by one.

Controlling Ouyezi, he pushed open the door of the Advanced Forging Room.

Outside the door, a young woman with a delicate appearance, dressed in a professional suit, had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Ouyezi come out, she quickly bowed.

"Hello, Mr. Ouyezi, I am the exclusive assistant the Guild Master arranged for you. My name is Lin Wei."

"From now on, you can tell me if you have any needs."

Ouyezi nodded, showing a hint of "fatigue."

"I'm a bit tired and need to go back and rest."

After continuously forging for a day and a night, if he still said he wasn't tired, that would be too shocking.

Lin Wei quickly said, "The Guild Master has already arranged accommodation for you, at an Advanced apartment near the Guild. I'll take you there now."

Ouyezi hummed in response.

The two arrived at the Guild entrance.

Just as Lin Wei went to the parking lot to get the car.

A familiar figure appeared at the street corner.

It was Thunder Swordsman Yasuo, resurrected and returned!

The two Clones, across the crowd, exchanged glances.

No expression, no words.

The next second.

Ouyezi flicked his wrist, and the Spatial Ring silently slipped from his hand, tracing an almost imperceptible arc, accurately falling into Yasuo's hand.

Yasuo caught the ring, without the slightest pause, turned and merged into the bustling crowd.

The entire process was smooth and clean, like experienced underground agents exchanging intelligence.

Zhou Huai thought to himself.

It's best for these two Clones not to have too much interaction for now.

Lest they be traced and caught in one fell swoop.
