Chapter 348: The Young Peak Master’s Unrivaled Capabilities



Yang Ling said, “I am a blacksmith, I…”

Before he could finish, Lin Xun smiled and said, “Mind Cleansing Peak also has smithing facilities. Of course, your value is greater to me since you are a blacksmith and not a rune master.”

After a pause, he said, “How about this, I will promise you the same thing as Blood Thorn. I will satisfy all of your blacksmithing needs.”

There was a difference between blacksmiths and rune masters.

A proper blacksmith needed to be adept at both refining and smelting because their craft consisted of smelting various ingredients to forge tools.

That was right, only ordinary and not aeth tools.

Additional help from a rune master was needed to create aeth tools.

Normally speaking, the biggest use for blacksmiths was not to forge things but to repair them!

It was a very practical skill because aeth tools would often be damaged and need to be repaired.

Although a blacksmith did not understand the true essence of carving aeth runes, they could still repair aeth tools from the rune arrays carved into them!

If one were to compare rune masters, blacksmiths, and refiners, rune masters would undoubtedly be the most welcomed group.

A qualified rune master could do everything a blacksmith and refiner could do. After all, Lin Xun had shown those skills himself several times before.

Blacksmiths had all the capabilities of a refiner, but they could not carve runes, making them inferior to rune masters.

As for refiners, they were inferior to both rune masters and blacksmiths. Despite this, they still fulfilled a very important function.

Normally speaking, a refiner could not only smelt smithing ingredients but also refine herbs and other medicinal ingredients!

This was a refiner’s value.

In simple terms, if a blacksmith was a sword, the rune master was the sword’s soul, and the refiner was the person who smelted the metals to make the sword.

“You…agree to all those conditions?”

Yang Ling was somewhat stunned. He had yet to voice his conditions, but Lin Xun had already given him an answer that was impossible to reject.

“Yes.”

Lin Xun nodded. He suddenly recalled something and summoned Jiujiu from his palm. “The little fellow is my rune beast. It’s a natural-born master of refining and has the heaven-tier Golden Star Fragment Fire in its body. You can get Jiujiu to help you when you’re smithing in the future.”

“Jiujiu~”

The round and soft Jiujiu innocently looked around like a curious baby.

There was astonishment in everyone’s eyes. Golden Star Fragment Fire! This silly-looking little rune beast is actually so amazing?

Yang Ling’s entire body shook as he gasped loudly before he ecstatically exclaimed, “Golden Star Fragment Fire? My god! That’s awesome!”

His large menacing figure was happily bouncing around like a kid on Christmas.

To blacksmiths, the aid of a natural-born master of refining would make everything so much easier!

At this sight, Lin Xun knew he had subdued yet another helper.

His gaze turned toward Old Diao.

Before Lin Xun could speak, Old Diao said with burning eyes, “I’m different from the two of them. To be precise, I’m a rune master that specializes in arrays.”

Lin Xun’s heart shook. An array specialist! Another rare talent!

The rune master profession was extremely broad.

From what Lin Xun knew, there were many branches in the rune master profession. In fact, the smithing branch alone already had many sub-branches.

There were rune masters who specialized in weapons, rune masters who specialized in utility equipment, and rune masters who specialized in arrays.

Arrays were also known as rune formations and were usually set up in places such as battleships, fortresses, aeth veins, sects, mansions, etc.

There were killing arrays, defensive arrays, trapping arrays, illusion arrays, and many others.

This was because runes had far too much breadth and depth. An ordinary rune master could easily spend a lifetime pursuing the art but fail to fully master everything.

Due to these circumstances, selecting a path that suited you the most was undoubtedly the wisest decision. This was known as specialization.

“Since that’s the case, I shall put you in charge of all matters concerning arrays in Mind Cleansing Peak!”

Lin Xun swiftly made his decision. “Of course, if you encounter any problems, you can come to find me so we can discuss it together.”

Old Diao was taken aback. He skeptically asked, “Discuss with you?”

He could not help but feel somewhat disappointed. He had been hoping that Lin Xun would give him a surprise like Blood Thorn and Yang Ling and never expected that all he would receive was such a promise instead.

Before Lin Xun could explain, Xiaoke, who had been watching from the sidelines, could no longer hold back, “Old Diao, Lin Xun’s knowledge and mastery of runes definitely surpasses your imagination.”

Let alone Old Diao, Blood Thorn, Yang Ling, Lin Zhong, the others could also not help but be stunned. None of them could imagine that Lin Xun was a rune master!

How old is he?

How can Xiaoke believe that Lin Xun possesses an unimaginable mastery of runes?

Feeling everyone’s skepticism and disbelief, Xiaoke looked toward Lin Xun as if waiting for him to give an answer.

After all, it was not appropriate for her to divulge Lin Xun’s secrets.

Everyone looked at Lin Xun as if waiting for him to give a convincing explanation.

Lin Xun contemplated for a while before taking out his Rune Master Association identity badge. “This is an initiate rune master identity badge.”

There was actually no need for him to say that. Everyone could tell that it was indeed an identity badge that could not be forged.

However, when they heard that Lin Xun was only an initiate rune master, Blood Thorn’s, Yang Ling’s, and the others’ expressions turned strange.

Old Diao was an advanced rune master!

How could an initiate rune master solve any problems he encountered?

Regardless, Lin Xun was indeed a rare and outstanding talent to have obtained the Rune Master Association’s acknowledgment and become an initiate rune master at such a young age.

Old Diao seemed to have gotten over it and said with waning enthusiasm, “It’s fine, I also promise to follow you. I only hope that…”

Lin Xun smiled faintly as he interjected, “I won’t disappoint you. The new series Violet Hero Battleship that was pushed out by the empire this year was designed by me. I believe you should have heard of its power.”

The new series Violet Hero Battleship!

Designed by a young initiate rune master?!

These words shocked everyone and caused them to fall silent.

Even Third Old Zhu, who had been silently standing to the side, seemed to react and look over.

Old Diao could not help but ask, “Is that true? I recall that the new Violet Hero Battleship was designed by rune grandmaster Old Mo of the Divine Workshop, how…how can it be you?”

The others also displayed great skepticism.

No one could blame them for doubting Lin Xun. The Violet Hero Battleship was one of the empire’s tactical weapons and their most classic small-scale battleship. Ever since it was first invented several hundred years ago, its design had undergone many improvements and had long reached a state of perfection.

This year, however, the announcement of a new series Violet Hero Battleship broke all common sense. It was a miracle that bestowed a completely new power unto the classic small-scale Violet Hero Battleship.

Due to this, Old Mo’s name became extremely well-known like a rising superstar. There was no one in the Forbidden City who did not know that Old Mo had personally created the Violet Hero Battleship miracle.

However, Lin Xun was now saying that the ship was designed by him. Who in the world would believe him?

If it was anyone else, they would have likely already begun scolding Lin Xun for being shameless.

“I can show you the Violet Hero Battleship’s design right now. Moreover, you can also ask Old Mo about it.”

Lin Xun nonchalantly continued, “To be more accurate, the new series Violet Hero Battleship was designed by both Old Mo and myself. However, something unexpected happened after completing it, so Old Mo had to bear a burden he should not have alone.”

Towards the end, sadness gushed out in his heart as he recalled the scene of Old Mo being forcefully taken away from Blood Kill Camp.

Lin Xun had not wanted to bring this up ever again, but his current circumstances were now different.

He was the owner of Mind Cleansing Peak and the Lin Clan successor. He was no longer afraid of revealing this secret that would have once made him a pawn of others.

In fact, Lin Xun had already planned to pay a visit to the Forbidden City Rune Master Association headquarters to formally renew and evaluate his rune master status!

The more capability he displayed, the more he could restrain his enemies while he worked to resolve the internal conflicts and external threats to the Lin Clan.

“Could it be true?”

Old Diao was somewhat dumbstruck while the others were still in disbelief as they looked toward Xiaoke and Spirit Vulture.

“Lin Xun is telling the truth. I can testify to it.”

Upon seeing that Lin Xun had openly admitted it, Xiaoke did not bother hiding it anymore. She displayed a serious expression and said, “Instructor Xu Sanqi and I personally witnessed it, and Old Mo was also there back then.”

Everyone was shocked and speechless. The image of Lin Xun in their hearts suddenly became mysterious and unfathomable.

It was an inconceivable miracle for a young rune master to come up with a completely new Violet Hero Battleship design!

Lin Zhong was feeling the most emotional among those present. Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that their Young Master would be so extraordinary.

This was the new series of the Violet Hero Battleship that had astonished the empire!

This alone made it impossible for anyone to compare with him!

The most amazing part was that their Young Master was also the champion of the southwest provincial exam. He was already displaying such dazzling brilliance at such a young age!

The old Clan Leader and master would be very happy if they knew, right?

The Mind Cleansing Peak Lin Clan had a qualified successor!

Lin Zhong’s emotions churned endlessly, unable to calm down.
