Xander was fully aware of the gravity of the situation and the danger that Tang Yue was in. Illusionary spells were mysterious spells that used mental energy as the basis for their magic. The easiest and surest way to block them was to physically coat yourself with a mana barrier inside and out. But not just any barrier worked. The barrier had to be thick and strong and capable enough to withstand the power behind the illusionary spell. Erecting such a mana barrier was a time-consuming and energy…-

A few minutes earlier… Xander and Xavier, the two elven princes, were both leisurely sitting and enjoying their spirit wine. Xander was busy ogling at Tang Yue while Xavier was busy ogling at other beautiful women in the crowd. The two had no intention of mingling with any of the blacksmith Grandmasters and continued doing their own thing. Even after the Grandmasters got up and left for the day, these two still continued to sit there in the pavilion, clearly with an agenda of their own. The dwarves…

The other participants standing around Tang Yue also looked at her with complete and utter disdain. Every single one of them had worked and continue to work and train extremely hard in order to stand here and the appearance of the young girl simply ticked them off. Especially when the girl was obviously not a prodigy and was not in the least talented. So a couple of dwarves standing next to Tang Yue's work station also joined Xyla and vented out their frustration of not getting selected by harshly…

The gentle rays of the morning sunlight gradually became warmer and, soon there was some movement in the royal courtyard facing the Central Square. A group of dwarves leisurely walked over, some wearing the royal regalia, whilst some wearing austere robes. The Grandmaster blacksmiths had finally arrived, and accompanying them, were a dozen or so dwarven royal family members. Of course, much to Tang Yue's dismay, there were also a couple of elves among that group. The numerous clan elders gathered in…

The third day of the smithing contest was a major event, unlike the first two days. Not only did the crowd almost quadruple, but the Central Square was also now jam-packed with boisterous dwarves and members of other races. The participants competing today were all extremely capable blacksmiths, someone who could at least forge a mid-grade weapon. In the vast wilderness, where weapons played a major role in life-threatening situations, blacksmiths were the life and soul of the Nine Countries. They were…

Charlotte was watching and admiring Tang Yue's actions from a distance like a hawk, but suddenly Tang Yue had disappeared right in front of her eyes. The young dwarven girl had been busily packing her things up just a couple of seconds ago and now she had mysteriously disappeared? Charlotte was slightly worried. After all, they were both under disguise in a not-so-friendly Empire. Though they had the power to deal with whatever happens, they still had to be extremely alert and act fast. Charlotte also…

"Did you miss me?" A familiar voice brushed past Tang Yue's ears. Her eyes fluttered nervously, unable to swallow the tall drink of piping hot water standing in front of her. "Someone… Someone might see us." The first words out of her mouth, seeing him after so long, were something like this? Xander frowned. "No one will." He arrogantly answered her. Since it was already the end of the day, a little past dusk, only a few contestants remained behind in the demarcated area. Among those who were still…

Tang Yue assumed that one of the Master Blacksmith inspectors was passing her by and didn't look up to see who it was. She was very focused on achieving the perfect elemental essence attunement so that the low-grade weapon on her anvil could upgrade and become akin to a mid-grade weapon. But once again, her movements trembled and a familiar chill invaded her conscience. Huh? Tang Yue looked up in alarm. Weirdly, there was no one in front of her. Hmmm… Tang Yue ignored the feeling and took a few…

The first round of the contest was nothing much. It was just a short test to weed out beginner skill level participants. Each contestant was given a set of low-grade materials and those who were unable to forge an acceptable weapon were kicked out without a second chance. Tang Yue rapped her fingers on the anvil as she patiently awaited her turn. In front of her, there was almost a sea of anvils, a dwarf standing beside each one. Loud banging sounds echoed from all directions. It was likely that many…

Tang Zuelo knew that she should be concerned for her daughter, whom she painfully gave birth to herself, but all she could feel was a relief. Deep down she knew that she had already lost her precious daughter back in the elven territory and whoever that came back with her was no longer her daughter. She was simply pure evil. Not that Tang Zuelo herself was a saint, but compared to the current Tang Xi, she very well might be. She didn't know where Tang Xi had disappeared to, but she had no intention of…
