Year 191, Iron Fishing island. South Sea Kingdom region

In the morning, there are three middle aged man coming to middle sized house and knocking the door of the house

Three middle aged man that came in look like an ordinary middle aged chinese, small eyes, very oriental face, they also wear leather armour set, but their skin is a lot darker because they live nearby the sea

One of the middle aged man said “Mr. Blacksmith are you open yet?”

*door opened….

The door opened and there is a boy that looks 15 years old greeting three middle aged man “ Uncle Eh, Uncle Bi, Uncle Sih, dad has finished the equipment that uncles want, please come in”

This boy looks very energetic, have an athletic body, not too muscular, and he looks smart and he wears clothes similar like a scholar but without glasses

Uncle Eh replied while coming inside into the house “Good boy, Yi Xiang, your father is a really great blacksmith, we are really blessed that he is residing in this small vilagge, if not for him, we may not be able to harvest Man-sized clam pearl from the nearby island”

Uncle Bi continued “That’s right, Man-sized clam pearl on the nearby of our island is not that hard to find, but what trouble us the most is the water ghoul that is often nearby the man-sized clam pearl, if not for the equipment from your father, our village will not be able to prosper from those big sized pearl”

Yi Xiang replied “Uncle, although my father makes a decent weapon and equipment, it is the skill of all of Uncles here that make it able to harvest Man-sized clam pearl”

Uncle Sih replied “Haiya, we are just ordinary Iron rank practioner that used to be a fisherman, there is no way an ordinary low level Iron rank practioner like us can handle group of water ghouls. If it is an equipment and weapon from ordinary blacksmith, three uncles here will have only tomb and stone with our name Hahahaha

(tombstone means dead)

Uncle Eh continued “Boy a, are you going to be a blacksmith too in the future?”

Another middle aged man suddenly comes out from one of the rooms inside the house, he looks really similar to Yi Xiang except this older man has beard while Yi Xiang does not.

He said: “No, he never has that kind of dream, he wants to travel around the world and become a hunter, what a silly boy”

Yi Xiang surprised and said: “Dad, you awake?”

Uncle Eh replied: ”Hahahaha, Yi Xiong, your son wants to become a hunter that travel the world, I guess his age now is the best age to go into Night Moon city on the mainland to develop his body and cultivation to become a true expert“

Uncle Bi continued: “Boy a, since you want to become a hunter in the future, do you want to hunt man-sized clam pearl with us? Do not worry, if you cannot defeat them, just stick with us, we will ensure your safety because we are very accustomed defeating the water ghoul”

Yi Xiang is filled with hope and excitement

Uncle Sih continued: “Boy a, what is your cultivation level now?”

Yi Xiang replied: “ I am now at Basic rank level 9, but about hunting water ghoul…… About that…” while looking into his father

Yi Xiong sigh “Hah, I think it is a good idea too, I know you want to try hunting on something, with these 3 uncles and my equipment, I am at ease letting you go hunting man-sized clam pearl”

Yi Xiong take bunch of weapons from the desk and said “Uncle Eh, this is your sword and shield, the sword is made from the Iron Marlin Fish that you gave me, its sharpness will make you cut water ghoul like the butcher in the market cutting their chasio for you and here is your shield, it is made from 10 of 100-years iron turtles that you gave me the other day”

Many synonym will appear and the translation will be after the parapraph

(chasio: pork meat)

The sword is gray coloured, it looks sharp, light and easy to handle while the shield has the colour of ordinary iron but with turtle shell patterns

Uncle Eh receives the sword and swinging it “ Woah, this sword is really light, Iron Marlin Fish horn is even lighter than real iron, this is a really good sword”

Uncle Eh putting the shield on and give the sword to Uncle Bi and said “Uncle Bi, come and swing Iron Marlin sword into my shield”

Uncle Bi nods and takes the sword and swings it into Uncle Eh’s shield

Clanggg!!

When the sword and shield hit, Uncle Bi has been pushed back and all of them are shocked except Yi Xiong the blacksmith that made all of the weapons

Uncle Eh said “This shield…… is very strong, the rebound force is too great for anyone that attack this shield with the same rank level, what grade is this shield level Yi Xiong?”

Yi Xiong replied: “Iron turtles shield and Iron Marlin sword are both only steel ranked weapon, but from the 10 of the iron turtles that you gave me, one has a really rare material called the beast plate, this beast plate is different from beast or monster core that found on every monster, this beast plate from the iron turtle is called “iron turtle plate” it is a gem sized core and it emits a blue light coloured and when fusing it with the weapon made from its species will strengthen the weapon by tenfold, although this is steel leveled weapon, its quality is no less than black-steel ranked weapon which is one stage above its level”

Uncle Bi replied with amazement: “This is really great, what an awesome weapon, Yi Xiong, how about my weapon?”

Yi Xiong: “From all the ingredients that you all gave me, only one of the iron turtles that have its iron turtle plate, so other weapon might not be as good as that. Have assured, Uncle Bi, this is your weapon”

Yi xiong lifting a sword and giving to Uncle Bi, that sword size that almost half of the size of Yi Xiong body, it is a Greatsword

But this great sword is not an ordinary great sword, at the tip or the sword, the tip of the greatsword is asymmetric, one is curved sharp and the opposite side is gray coloured round shaped resembles iron seasnail shells.

It is a dual-use Greatsword!

Uncle Bi shocked and said: This is…. Dual-use Greatsword???

Yi Xiong replied in relax: “Oh Uncle Bi you know it too? This sword can hit enemy with sharpness to cut and impact them with bluntness. The Giant Iron Seasnail that you gave me is a creature with solid shell, this greatsword main strength is not from the sharpness from the sea iron that found commonly nearby our village but the bluntness from the iron sea snail shell. Smack it into someone head, and he will forget who his parents are hahahaha”
