Calling a shuttle, Jason felt restless due to the idea that formed in his head.

Inwardly, he already apologized to Shane, as he would do something his master told him not to do in the meantime.

However, Jason couldn't wait anymore, as his daggers looked as if they would break anytime, which annoyed him extremely.

How should be able to fight in the special combat class challenges without a personal weapon, he knew from the inside-out.

It was still possible for him to use training weapons for the challenges, but it would be uncomfortable for him to handle, as most of these weapons were badly balanced and crudely forged.

The same could be said for his tempered jade iron daggers, as the grip on his handle was not as comfortable as customized ones, which he could easily change now.

Only 40 minutes later he arrived in front of the Artisan-tower which he entered after going through the Identity-check.

Walking towards the reception, Jason saw someone familiar as he approached the woman that previously tried to make his way to an item appraiser more difficult.

Upon seeing Jason walking towards her, she frowned as sweat pearls emerged, pouring down her temples.

Trying to adjust her stance, she wanted to remain level-headed without indicating the anxiety that spread through her whole body.

"Hello Sir, how may I help you out today?" She asked politely, without looking into his eyes in order to avoid anything that could annoy Jason.

She had learned her lesson from last time and offending Jason could end up in a devastating accident.

As such, she tried her best to do what Jason wanted, as long as it was within her possibilities.

"Hello, Id like to rent the best forging room for the next six hours if possible," Jason said, trying to sound nonchalant, as he noticed the womens weird expression.

"Is Sir aware of the fact that unregistered blacksmiths can only rent basic-forging rooms? If that isn't enough I can only call a superior to request a special permission or Sir has to register within the Artisan tower and underwent the designated tests." The receptionist said hesitant, trying to sound as helpful as possible

Hearing Jason sigh deeply, goosebumps covered her whole skin, which wondered Jason.

"Well...Please call your superior if possible. Either of the Sharons should have high authority, right? Just tell them, Jason Stella, the youth that brought the cloud titanium anvil is there."

Jason was still calm, even though the receptionist was astonished that he said "either of the Sharon's" without any title, as it was impolite and rude.

`How can he call our Artisan-tower president without his title?` She wondered but didn't dare to say anything, as she was still afraid of him.

She made a call directly towards the president's secretary, who was even more astonished to receive such a call.

But even if she was astonished, she decided to tell the president what happened, as she knew that the president could only reach the Grandmaster Blacksmith rank, which was called Rank-6 thanks to the cloud titanium anvil.

This information was only known by a few important figures within the artisan tower and if the man at the reception was really the one he said he is, they shouldnt offend him in any way.

What astonished her, even more, was that when she told the president about the youth at the reception, he immediately jumped up to rush towards the reception, only to see Jason, with curiosity gleaming in his eyes.

Jason noticed strong mana fluctuations approaching him fast, as Cheng appeared next to him, which astonished him a little bit.

Greeting each other, they ignored the receptionist and other people in the surrounding, as Cheng immediately led him somewhere.

"Do you want to trade, sell or purchase something?" Cheng asked, hoping to hear that Jason might sell something valuable once again, only to be surprised about Jason who shook his head, as he said

"I want to rent a high-tier forging room in order to forge for the next few hours."

Hearing this, Cheng was confused and he only nodded his head, until he noticed what Jason meant with his words.

"What? You're going to forge here? Why? Don't you have a master with a forging room?" This shocked Cheng greatly and he felt a glimmer of hope igniting, only to be extinguished a second later.

"My master doesnt know Im here, because he wouldn't allow me to forge weapons now, because it's too early...That's why I need to rent a forging room here" Jason said, without really trying to hide anything.

Cheng understood this, as he learned the basics longer than a year before he was even allowed to forge a weapon.

However, there was a huge difference between Jasons basics and the basics Cheng was thinking about, as he learned reduction and other methods of extraction ingots from ores and so on at first.

Jason however, learned all of it through books and immediately started with perfectly cleansing ores while shaping them into bars.

In the end, Jasons way of learning things was completely different compared to the common path as his mana eyes and origin flame in addition to his almost perfect memory, he obtained through his brain refining, changed a lot.

Thinking for a little bit, Cheng wanted to see Jasons progress, as he was interested in the black-haired, golden-eyed youth in front of him.

"You can use my private room at the top of the tower, or one of the high-ranked forging rooms underground free of charge, but can I observe your forging process? I'm kinda interested to see how your progress is.." Cheng sounded excited and Jason noticed that.

However, Jason halted immediately in his steps, saying without hesitating for a single moment

"That's not possible!"

If he let Cheng observe his forging process, his mana eyes stage would be exposed.

This wouldn't be that bad per se, but the real problem would be his exposed black origin flame, which Jason didn't want to show anyone right now.

It was impossible to keep his origin flame as a secret forever, but with his current strength, it would be better to play rather lowkey.

Cheng was taken aback to receive such a direct rejection, as he thought it wouldn't be a problem for him to observe his forging technique.

"Really?... Is there really no way for me to observe your forging technique?" He didn't want to give up without trying it once more, as he looked into Jason's eyes that looked as if he was pondering

But what he heard shocked him even more.

"It is possible for you to accompany me during my forging process, but only if you sign a soul contract with some extra paragraphs."

"WHAT?!" Cheng couldnt believe what he heard, but seeing Jasons serious expression, he knew that the youth in front of him wasn't joking a tiny bit.

Seeing his seriousness about the matter, Cheng became even more curious about what Jason was hiding and he pondered if he should accept his demand or not.

"You probably don't want me to tell anyone what Ill see in the forging room, right? What exact extra paragraphs do you have in mind?"
