I'm the emperor from the start, and you want me to keep the three-year agreement?

"This... this is the tribulation I caused?"

Feng Xiong's body trembled. He hadn't fantasized about causing an Emperor Tribulation when forging a sword for many years.

Because that's something that only happens when an Emperor-level weapon is born.

And he was just an ordinary person.

When he was a child, when he first started learning forging, Feng Xiong fantasized that one day he would become an Emperor-level blacksmith, enjoying the admiration of billions.

However, as time passed, the more he came into contact with forging, the more he learned, his idea had already disappeared.

Feng Xiong didn't expect that by gambling his life and burning his essence blood in forging, he could actually cause an Emperor Tribulation!

"Thank you."

Feng Xiong bowed deeply to Lin Ning.

He understood that without Lin Ning, he would never have seen such a sight in his life.

"This Emperor Tribulation is much weaker than the one just now."

Ma Zhixuan looked at Feng Xiong, "But now your cultivation is only at the first level of Qi Refining, can you still withstand it?"

"Only by enduring it and accepting the baptism of the Emperor Tribulation will your weapon truly become an Emperor-level artifact!"

The surrounding blacksmiths felt their scalps tingle, and at the same time, they felt sorry for Feng Xiong.

"I didn't expect that in an ordinary competition, we would trigger Emperor Tribulations one after another!"

"Yes, it's already worth it for us mortals to see an Emperor Tribulation once in our lifetime. I didn't expect to see it twice in one day."

"Alas, according to City Lord Ma, Feng Xiong needs to survive this Emperor Tribulation for his weapon to become an Emperor-level artifact, and he will become an Emperor-level blacksmith.

But it's a pity, even at his peak, he wouldn't dare to say he could withstand the Emperor Tribulation head-on, let alone now that he's only at the first level of Qi Refining."

The people of Brahma City and the Blacksmiths' Pavilion were mortal enemies.

But now,

the blacksmiths of Brahma City only regarded Feng Xiong as a blacksmith pursuing his dreams.

"Alas, I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand it."

"What a pity, will he choose to face the Emperor Tribulation head-on?"

Lin Ning stood opposite him, watching Feng Xiong expressionlessly.

"Need help?"

"I can help you erase this Emperor Tribulation."

Hearing this, Feng Xiong shook his head and smiled, "No need, thank you.

This is my Emperor Tribulation, and I hope to withstand it myself. By the way, before I go in, I still don't know your name."

Lin Ning thought for a while, "Then... just call me Emperor Lin."

Getting the answer, Feng Xiong laughed and said, "I know that I will surely die this time I go in."

"But, it is the Emperor Tribulation that I have been searching for all my life!"

"It is the Emperor Tribulation that belongs to me and my weapon!"

Saying that, Feng Xiong bowed deeply to Lin Ning again and said:

"Today, Emperor Lin's kindness to me, Feng Xiong, is beyond repayment. If there is a next life!"

"Feng Xiong is willing to go through fire and water for Emperor Lin!"

After speaking, he straightened his chest and walked into the sea of thunder with his head held high.

At this time, his eyes were already filled with tears.

Just as he entered the sea of thunder.

Boom!

A bolt of Emperor Tribulation fell, directly causing Feng Xiong to disappear without a trace.

At the moment of Feng Xiong's death, Lin Ning took action to preserve the weapon he had forged.

And let it receive the baptism of the Emperor Tribulation.

Massive amounts of energy poured into the blade, and Emperor patterns appeared on the sword.

Only to hear a 'bang' sound.

Lin Ning only had a broken sword left in his hand.

"The Emperor Sword has a spirit, knowing that its master is dead, it is unwilling to survive."

"Then, I will fulfill your wish."

Lin Ning placed the broken sword where Feng Xiong disappeared. In the blink of an eye, the broken sword was also submerged by the sea of thunder.

"It is said that the day the broken sword is reforged is the day the knight returns."

Lin Ning sighed, "But, without the blacksmith's sword, the sword spirit is unwilling to live alone."

......

When the dark clouds receded, when the Emperor Tribulation dissipated.

Lin Ning walked out of the final sea of thunder.

Welcoming him was the cheers of countless blacksmiths.

"Emperor Lin! Emperor Lin!"

"Emperor Lin, you are my god!"

Ma Zhixuan quickly stepped forward and respectfully said, "Emperor Lin, if you don't mind, we would like to serve you as the god of Brahma City!"

"If possible, we would also like to invite you to be our City Lord."

Brahma City has no City Lord, or rather, only an Emperor-level blacksmith can become the City Lord here!

Lin Ning joked, "You didn't say that just now. I broke the rules many times."

Ma Zhixuan quickly waved his hand, "No, it's not allowed in principle, but you are the god of our Brahma City, and the rules are in your hands."

Lin Ning said, "Forget about the god, just call me Emperor Lin."

"Thank you for taking care of my senior sister before. Now that things are done, we have to leave."

As soon as he said this, Ma Zhixuan immediately waved his hand.

The next moment, the blacksmiths in the city came forward to persuade him to stay, begging Lin Ning to teach them the art of forging.

Lin Ning sighed, and then waved his hand.

As a ray of holy light fell, many forging knowledge appeared in everyone's minds.

"I will only teach you so much, the rest is up to you to understand," Lin Ning said.

"Emperor Lin is eternal!" Ma Zhixuan took the lead and shouted.

"Emperor Lin is eternal!"

"Emperor Lin is eternal!"

The next moment.

A mechanical voice rang in Lin Ning's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining countless believers]

[Reward the host, Great Emperor Consummation cultivation]

[Reward is being distributed]

As the system's voice fell, Lin Ning suddenly felt a warmth in his body, and a force was about to gush out from his body.

Looking at so many believers around him, Lin Ning mobilized his spiritual energy to suppress this force.

"Heh, I didn't expect that teaching them the art of forging would also get me this kind of reward," Lin Ning felt comfortable in his heart.

Walking to Shen Nian and Xiao Yuxuan, Lin Ning said, "Master, Senior Sister."

"I didn't expect you to really be an Emperor-level blacksmith," Shen Nian said, "I thought you were just fooling me before."

"How dare I fool Master?" Lin Ning said with a smile.

Xiao Yuxuan pouted and said, "Hmph, you are so generous, teaching them your forging skills, but Senior Sister, I have nothing."

She put her hands on her hips, showing off her proud curves.

Lin Ning said, "I didn't teach them much, enough for them to use for a lifetime."

"But, I will give Senior Sister everything."

Xiao Yuxuan's eyes lit up, and she leaned forward, taking Lin Ning's arm.

Xiao Yuxuan's sudden collision with the ball made Lin Ning's steps a little shaky.

"Soft..."

Lin Ning restrained his emotions and turned his head to the side.

"Really? Junior Brother will give me everything?"

"Okay, I'll give you everything."

Lin Ning moved his hand and passed the system's forging method to Xiao Yuxuan.

Xiao Yuxuan suddenly felt a massive amount of knowledge rush to her head, causing her to let out a muffled groan.

After receiving the knowledge, Xiao Yuxuan was overjoyed, and in her ecstasy, she gave Lin Ning a hug.

"Junior Brother, how can you be so amazing?"

Shen Nian, who witnessed everything, suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart.

"What's going on, why do I want to pull them apart?"

There was nothing she could do, so she could only pretend to cough twice.

Realizing her gaffe, Xiao Yuxuan retreated a little reluctantly.

"Yuxuan, you have been away from the sect for ten years. Now that your great revenge has been avenged, and you have learned more advanced forging techniques, you can come back to the sect with us now, right?" Shen Nian said.

Xiao Yuxuan nodded, "Okay, let's go home."

As soon as she finished speaking, a terrifying aura descended from the sky and attacked the three of them.

"The people can leave, but leave the divine weapon behind!"
