The next day.

Zhou Huai suddenly sat up from his bed.

A strong sense of palpitation instantly woke him up.

System Notification: Your Clone, Thunder Swordsman Yasuo, has died.

Revival Countdown: 18 hours 59 minutes 58 seconds.

Dead?

Zhou Huai frowned deeply.

Yasuo's last moments before his death flooded into his mind like a tide.

Clearing the Trial Tower...

Being ambushed by men in suits...

The concern of several old headmasters...

And finally, the man named Chu He.

Hiss!

Zhou Huai couldn't help but gasp.

When he saw him in the morning, he thought he was just an interesting teacher.

Now it seems he has a great background.

Tianhai City is full of hidden Dragons and crouching Tigers.

He had just shown a little bit of his talent and had already attracted a strong person of this Rank.

He must be more cautious in the future.

However, the performance of the AI intelligence installed in Yasuo also surprised him.

Facing an unbeatable enemy, to prevent being captured, he chose to commit suicide!

Decisive enough, ruthless enough!

A smile curved Zhou Huai's lips.

He could imagine that Chu He's expression at the time must have been very interesting.

Want to study my Clone? No way!

Although Yasuo could not be summoned for the time being, Zhou Huai was not too frustrated.

Because at this moment, the System sent a notification:

System Notification: The mission 'Clear the Trial Tower and win first place in this challenge' has been completed!

Mission Reward: Professional Orb Drawing Opportunity X1, has been issued!

Completed!

Zhou Huai's eyes burst with brilliant light.

Although Yasuo died, he successfully cleared the Trial Tower and took first place before he died!

This means...

He could draw the profession for his second Clone!

System! I want to draw the profession for my second Clone!

Zhou Huai eagerly shouted in his mind.

He closed his eyes.

His consciousness sank into his mind.

The huge and familiar gashapon machine reappeared.

Colorful professional orbs slowly rotated within it, emitting an alluring glow.

In front of the gashapon machine, the only draw button was flickering with a faint light.

Zhou Huai took a deep breath.

The first Clone drew an S-Rank Thunder Sword Master.

This second time, it should at least be S-Rank, right?

With a hint of excitement and ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) anticipation, he mentally pressed the 【Draw】 button!

Buzz—!

The huge gashapon machine began to spin wildly!

Countless professional orbs turned into streams of light, dazzling to the eye.

The light grew brighter and brighter, almost filling the entire consciousness space.

Ten seconds later.

The rotation stopped abruptly!

Whoosh!

A unique orb of light shot out from the gashapon machine!

Zhou Huai's pupils suddenly contracted!

Purple?!

The orb was entirely a deep and mysterious purple!

It was completely different from Yasuo's previous brilliant golden orb!

Gold is S-Rank, so purple... could it be a higher Rank profession?!

Zhou Huai's heart pounded wildly.

Could it be SS-Rank?!

Or the legendary SSS-Rank?!

His breathing became a little heavy.

The purple orb slowly floated down, hovering in front of Zhou Huai.

The light burst open!

It transformed into a purple scroll, even more ancient and profound than the previous Thunder Sword Master scroll!

On the scroll, intricate runes flowed, emitting an indescribably powerful aura.

Congratulations, Host, you have drawn the life-skill unique hidden profession—

SS-Rank Myriad Forms Divine Craftsman!

Zhou Huai's heart pounded, and his breathing quickened a few beats.

Life-skill profession?

Forging Master?!

In this world, professional equipment, besides dropping from monsters...

Relies on Forging Masters to craft them from Materials!

Equipment produced by a Forging Master often has even more powerful attributes!

Therefore, the Forging Master is always the most sought-after profession, without exception!

They never lack work, and their money-making speed is comparable to a printing press!

In the original owner's memory, a Forging Master appeared in Tianhai City last year.

An epic-Rank longsword directly sold for an astronomical price of over a million!

Legendary-Rank equipment? That's tens of millions at least, priceless and in high demand!

There isn't a single Great Master in the entire Great Xia Country who can forge Legendary-Rank equipment at present!

The neighboring Sakura Country does have one, who is hailed as the 'National Father'!

As soon as the thought fell, the attribute panel of the Myriad Forms Divine Craftsman had already appeared.

Clone Panel (Unnamed)

Profession: Unique Hidden Profession, SS-Rank Myriad Forms Divine Craftsman

Rank: LV1

Health: 120 / 120

Mana: 150 / 150

Strength: 12

Agility: 10

Stamina: 15

Mental Energy: 18

Skill List:

Passive Skill: Forging Master (LV1) - When forging equipment, Material consumption is reduced by 30%, and forging time is shortened by 30%.

Active Skill: Divine Craftsman's Enlightenment (LV1) - Can designate one piece of equipment and raise its quality Rank by one level, up to Rare-Rank. Cooldown: 24 hours.

Zhou Huai stared at that active skill, his eyes almost popping out.

Directly raise quality?!

Holy cow! That's insane!

A fine-Rank equipment, with one click, directly becomes Rare!

Currently, the upper limit is Rare, but what if the Rank is higher? What if the skill proficiency goes up?

Rare enlightened to Epic? Epic to Legendary?!

At that time, his Clones would each have a set of Legendary-Rank Divine equipment!

That scene was too beautiful, he dared not even imagine it!

System Notification: Please name your SS-Rank Clone.

Zhou Huai came back to his senses, his lips curving into a wild grin.

Since he is a Forging Master, his name must be resounding!

A flash of inspiration struck his mind.

Let's call him... Ouyezi!

In his previous life, he was a legendary craftsman who forged Divine weapons like Longyuan, Tai'a, and Zhanlu!

He hoped this Clone could also become the forging myth of this world!

System Notification: Naming successful! Clone 'Ouyezi' created.

System Notification: Please shape the appearance of Clone 'Ouyezi'.

This time, Zhou Huai learned his lesson.

Yasuo's uncle-like face, wherever he went, he was treated as a parent, which was too troublesome.

He sculpted Ouyezi's face to be young and handsome, looking around twenty years old.

He had neat black short hair, focused and deep eyes, carrying a touch of a craftsman's steadiness.

Unlike Yasuo's flamboyant and unrestrained demeanor, he exuded a restrained sharpness.

Hmm, not bad, low-key luxury with substance!

Zhou Huai nodded in satisfaction.

System Notification: Clone 'Ouyezi' appearance shaping successful!

System Notification: Clone generating, please wait...

The waiting time always felt a bit long.

Approximately two hours later.

System Notification: SS-Rank Clone 'Myriad Forms Divine Craftsman Ouyezi' has been fully generated!

As soon as the words fell!

A flash of white light appeared in front of Zhou Huai!

A tall figure appeared out of thin air.

The young man was dressed in simple grey cloth, with a handsome face and calm eyes.

It was the freshly generated SS-Rank Clone—Ouyezi!
