Chapter 11 Second Career
“Your soul power is strong and your aura is stable. I underestimated you.” Yun Ming said lightly.

Gu You remained silent, and the scene became quite awkward.

Yun Mingming smiled faintly. After all, the child still needed time to adapt to the sudden change of identity.

"Have you ever thought about what to study as your second career?"

"Second career?" Gu You looked at Yun Ming.

"Yes! Maybe it's too early for you, but with your talent, it would be better for you to start practicing from a young age." Yun Ming nodded.

"I want to learn forging!" Gu You said in a loud voice.

forging?
Yali was shocked. You know, this is hard work, not as brain-intensive as designing a mecha battle armor.

Yun Ming didn't react much to this. Since the child wanted to learn, let him learn. If he didn't have the talent, he could change it. He was still young anyway.

"Brother Ming." Yali's expression looked somewhat reluctant.

Yun Ming walked forward and touched Yali's head. "It's a good thing to let children suffer more. How can you see the rainbow without going through the wind and rain?"

Yali said no more. Gu You watched from the side with a strange expression, as if he was eating dog food.

Yun Ming walked up to Gu You and said, "Come with me. I will take you to see someone."

The two figures disappeared from the spot in an instant. In the Shrek Academy Blacksmith Association, Feng Wu Yu was studying a piece of heavenly forged metal. A strong fluctuation of soul power made him stop.

"Master? What brings you here, and with a child?" Feng Wu Yu stared at Gu You.

Yun Ming shook his head and explained the reason for coming here.

"What, godson!" Even though Feng Wu Yu, who was famous throughout the continent, was stunned.

"I understand. Don't worry, Pavilion Master. Even if he doesn't have the talent for forging, I will make him capable of it!" Feng Wu Yu hurriedly agreed.

"There's no need to go through so much trouble. If he has talent, let him continue learning. If he doesn't have talent, I will come to pick him up in a few days." Yun Ming chuckled, nodded to Gu You, and disappeared.

Gu You looked at Feng Wu Yu curiously, another holder of the double holy dragon title, Blazing Dragon Douluo and Eight-Star Saint Craftsman, nicknamed "Old Madman".

"Don't look at it, kid. Test the strength of your one arm so that I can make a special forging hammer suitable for you. Remember, don't use soul power to bless it." Feng Wu Yu touched the storage ring in his hand, and a huge instrument instantly appeared. There was a groove in the middle, which displayed the weight.

Gu You frowned, gathered the strength of both hands on his right arm, and threw a punch. With a bang, the numbers on the instrument kept changing and finally stopped at two digits.

166! Feng Wuyu took a breath of cold air. If he had the blessing of soul power, he would not be surprised to reach this number. After all, he could become the godson of the master of the Sea God Pavilion. How could his talent be bad? But this was the number that Gu You punched out with pure strength. How could he not be amazed.

How much power do adults have?
It’s quite auspicious, this is what Gu You thought at this time.

"You have good strength, but that doesn't mean you can adapt to forging. Forging requires perseverance. Take these two Thousand Forged Life Hammers and listen to me. What I want you to do now is to keep swinging these 50-jin hammers to hit this strength tester. I will count for you. Each hammer must not be less than 50 jin until you are exhausted." Feng Wu Yu said coldly.

"Let's start!" Gu You hammered down again and again, and banging sounds continued to be heard in the room.

36…46…70…

During the hammering process, weak life energy continued to emanate from the Life Essence Hammer, nourishing Gu You's hands. This was intentional by Feng Wu Yu. The hammer made of life crystals would nourish the user. Otherwise, after a few days, under his high-intensity training, Gu You's arms might be broken. Yun Ming was not afraid. What he was afraid of was the Holy Spirit Douluo. If he saw that Gu You, her godson, was injured like that, who knows what crazy thing he would do.

Although Yali could heal Gu You's arm instantly, Feng Wu Yu knew very well that Yali was infertile, and being able to adopt a godson meant that he was treating her as his own child.

When Gu You hit him for the hundredth time, he had already started sweating. By the three hundredth time, there was noticeable swelling on his arms. Even with the nourishment of life energy, they were still red and swollen.

Keep going. Since you have been gifted with a great talent, you must not let it go to waste!

Enduring the pain and swelling, Gu You gritted his teeth and continued swinging his hammers.

After six hundred strokes, Feng Wu Yu was frozen in place. He was determined to kill this kid. The severe pain forced Gu You to stop.

No, no! This was not the limit. If he wanted to compete with Tang Wulin for the Divine Craftsmanship, it would be far from enough. He also had an innate advantage in soul power. He couldn't possibly be inferior to a Douluo native, right?
Gu You struggled to continue rotating the hammer, but Feng Wu Yu did not stop him because he knew that stopping him would only destroy Gu You's determination.

Eight hundred... He could no longer lift his arms, and the hammer fell from Gu You's hands. Gu You fell weakly to the ground, a smile still on his face, and sweat was pouring down his face.

"Can I do it?!"

Feng Wu Yu laughed loudly, "Okay! Why not? Kid, you are the most enchanting person I have ever seen!" After that, he picked up Gu You and went to a lounge. After simply applying medicine on Gu You, Feng Wu Yu left and said a few more words before leaving.

"I will help you join the Shrek Academy Forging Association, but it cannot be considered a complete and formal joining. You have to wait until you become a first-level blacksmith. When you master the purification of hundreds and thousands of forgings, I will give you a big gift."

The room was quiet. Gu You stared at the ceiling absentmindedly. His arm was still sore, but he felt basically nothing.

The only thing that Gu You couldn’t see now was the purple lines on his spine that kept moving across his back.

sleepy……
