But what is he going to do by summoning his martial spirit?
The senior student has become wary.
He's been through a lot and knows that some younger students will overestimate their abilities and resort to force to borrow money.
Xu Yuan showed no intention of making a move, which made the wary senior student relax slightly, watching Xu Yuan's actions with curiosity.
Xu Yuan holds a brush and paints in the air.
In the blink of an eye, he drew out a pair of forging hammers and a huge forging table.
With his third spirit ring flashing, the object he had drawn materialized.
The senior's eyes widened in surprise.
Can you still play like this?
Inside the forging platform, a raging fire burned, raising the temperature of the surrounding air considerably.
"Senior, you should have some rare metals on you, right?"
Under Xu Yuan's questioning, the senior student finally came to his senses. His eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment, he took out a piece of rare metal from his storage soul tool.
"Blue copper?" Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow and looked at his senior.
"That's a different price."
The difficulty of forging blue-impregnated copper is much higher than that of ordinary rare metals.
It is also one of the essential rare metals in battle armor, and is mainly used to make the core components of battle armor.
You think you can get it for just 100,000 Federal Credits?
"Don't worry, junior. Money is not a problem. I will give you 500,000 Federal Credits. In addition, I have collected three pieces of Blue Copper. You can hand over one piece to me after you successfully forge it. The rest are yours."
Xu Yuan nodded.
This is still acceptable.
He took the blue-tinged copper from his senior and threw it into the forging table.
In the distance, Tang Wulin and the others were dumbfounded.
this.
The college confiscated your equipment, what a waste of time!

If you can draw anything you need, then what's the point of the academy confiscating your forging hammer and ID?
Tang Wulin looked completely bewildered.
Having had his forging hammer confiscated as well, he felt targeted.
This system must be targeting me.
definitely is!
In the distance, Xu Yuan had already swung his forging hammer down.
This was not his previous forging hammer. Although he tried to make it as close as possible with his materialized soul skill, it was still somewhat lacking in effect. The penetrating power of this hammer was not as natural as his real pair of forging hammers.
But that's enough.
This is, after all, only a first-grade product after a thousand refinements.
Blue-impregnated copper is difficult to forge because it contains too many internal impurities, which are very difficult to remove. If not handled carefully, the internal structure of the metal itself may be damaged.
At this point, the properties of the penetrating forging hammer become very useful.
Xu Yuan's three hammer blows had already forged the material a hundred times.
Three more hammer blows were delivered, and the luster on the blue-coated copper began to brighten as impurities were released from within.
Three more hammer blows were delivered, and a six-foot beam of light shot out from the blue-bronze.
Nine hammer blows, a thousand forgings, and it becomes a top-grade product!
Xu Yuan carefully put away the forging hammer and handed the first-grade blue-coated copper to his dumbfounded senior.
"Thank you for your support, senior."
The senior student held a piece of top-quality, thousand-refined, first-grade blue copper in his hand, but he always felt like he was at a slight disadvantage.
Nine hammer blows, and I've lost 500,000 Federal Credits plus two other pieces of Blue Pregnant Copper?
The senior looked dazed, but he knew in his heart that he had actually come out ahead.
The quality of this piece of top-grade blue copper, forged a thousand times, would never be this cheap under normal circumstances. In fact, even if he wanted to find a blacksmith of Xu Yuan's caliber to forge it, he wouldn't have any connections.
Tang Wulin came running up excitedly.
"Squad leader, um," he rubbed his hands together, looking at Xu Yuan in a consultative tone.
"Could I borrow your forging equipment?"
Seeing that Xu Yuan was making money through forging, he naturally wanted to do the same.
However, unlike Xu Yuan, he couldn't conjure forging equipment out of thin air using his soul skills.
"According to the academy's regulations, you can't form a team; you have to rely on yourself. I can lend you the forging equipment, but I'll have to rent it to you at a price that's 30-40% higher than the normal price."
Xu Yuan shook his head and spoke with great conviction.
As the class monitor, I cannot lead the way in breaking the rules.
Tang Wulin's lips twitched.
"Don't worry, squad leader, the money will definitely be there."
Xu Yuan nodded.
He moved the forging table and placed it next to the entrance of the outer courtyard.
Actually, Tang Wulin and his classmates weren't the only ones watching Xu Yuan's actions; other students who were at a loss were also observing and learning.
"I'd like to rent forging equipment. My side job is blacksmithing. It's 10,000 Federal Credits per hour."
Xu Yuanming marked the price.
Among the students who were observing, those whose secondary profession was blacksmithing immediately brightened up.
Yang Nianxia also came running over excitedly.
"I'm signing up, I'm signing up."
A piece of thousand-fold forged metal has the potential to sell for tens of thousands of federal dollars, so he makes a profit in an hour overall, resulting in pure profit for him.
That wasn't enough, so Xu Yuan drew it again, bringing to life the manufacturing and repair stations as well, and placed them aside for rent.
It's a small bit of help, I suppose.
"Remember to give me the Federal currency later. The forging station, crafting station, and repair station can last for ten hours. If you have other connections, you can try other methods. If all else fails, come back here."
In half a year, although there are still a few students who are still at level two secondary professions, most of them have reached level three. Of course, there are quite a few blacksmiths who are at level two. There is no way around it. Thousand-fold forging is very difficult. Blacksmiths have always been the one who emphasizes accumulation of knowledge and skills the most among the four secondary professions. It is normal for progress to be slow in the early stages.
Level 3 blacksmiths can still find a market for their thousand-fold forging, but it's much harder for Level 2 blacksmiths. The same goes for mecha manufacturing and mecha repair; Level 3 blacksmiths can barely manage to find a few senior students to meet the demand.
But this was already the limit Xu Yuan had reached.
He has already provided some assistance.
It's understandable that you might not have an advantage in areas like soul power cultivation and might perform poorly in assessments, but if your secondary profession is also at a low level, that's truly a disaster.
Xu Yuan didn't wait to collect the rent.
You can pay him the rent when you come back.
Collecting rent is also to avoid being caught cheating by the dance instructors.
He was the first to earn enough for the journey, the first to leave, the first to arrive at the Soul Guidance Train Station, and also the first to board the earliest train.
His first stop was Tiandou City.
The entire Shrek City has been bought off by the academy, so there's no way to find any effective help these days.
So he decided to go to Tiandou City to ask Zhenhua for help.
With Zhenhua's connections, Xu Yuan was able to quickly complete the challenge mission in the first city.
As for what happens next, the academy will certainly not allow Xu Yuan to take Zhenhua's order to other city blacksmith associations to seek help again, but he can quickly complete some preparatory work for the follow-up mission there.
As he pondered, Xu Yuan's eyes flickered.
Under his mental power, he saw that the six passengers suddenly had soul-guided beams and other firearms in their hands, and he got up to prepare for action.
With a mental strike from Xu Yuan, the six thugs became dizzy and dropped their weapons. Xu Yuan then scanned the surrounding passengers with his mental energy, guiding them to discover the weapons in the thugs' hands.
"Gun! These people have guns!"
The train was thrown into chaos, and the train conductor arrived at the scene immediately. At that moment, a powerful Soul Master from the carriage bravely stepped forward and subdued the six thugs.
Under the supervision of professional security personnel, the perpetrators' weapons were confiscated and they were placed under strict guard.
A moment later, the train conductor, Mo Lan, arrived at carriage number five.
