Omnipotent Husband System

Hao Ren stood next to a table, and like him there were several other people standing around as well. At this moment, an old man came over from the side, and despite the wrinkles on his face, he was radiating a strong vital energy. The old man looked over at all the people before he nodded and said, "So, there are two parameters that you need to meet to pass the exam."

The old man paused and he continued, "You will need more than two metals to refine this artifact, and you should achieve at least ten percent energy flow value. Only then you would be called a Master. It may seem like the difference between ten and twenty is not very high but that's not true. There is a big difference and many people cannot cross it for their entire life. Today, you will be tested on these two points."

The people nodded, Hao Ren was surprised by the first half but he didn't mind it. The old man said, "I am Grandmaster Sei, you will have two hours to complete the exam and after that, the artifact would be tested by me and you will be given the results. I hope you work with honesty. Begin!"

Hao Ren looked to the side, and then he began to calmly pick up the metals used for his project. His speed was fast, and then he went to a vacant surface. Recalling the proportions of a sword that he had acquired back at the Spirit Shimmering Continent.

He used his sword intent to chop the blocks off into smaller segments and then placed them above each other and then waved his hand to cast the Phoenix Flames under the furnace to preheat the furnace a little and then he tossed over the metal portions inside the hot furnace.

The other people had a same speed as him, and Hao Ren was not afraid of anyone. This was not a competition, he only had to forge a weapon good enough and then gain a rank. After taking a few minutes, when the metals were smelted, he took them out using his spiritual pressure and then took it out to solidify, before he picked up his hammer, and placed the hot block on the anvil.

Then he swung down the hammer, and a clang rang through the examination hall. The metal clanging sound dazed the people, and Grandmaster Sei turned to look at Hao Ren with great interest. He watched as the young man used the true meaning of the mountain to flatten the block and then fold it over, before he placed it inside the furnace once again. The heated metal shone red, and then Hao Ren took it out once again before he flattened it and folded it again.

The process of heating the metal, beating the metal, and then folding the metal was changing the density of the weapon while also giving it a stronger characteristic. Hao Ren refined the weapon ten thousand times within an hour, and while doing so, he carved spiritual arrays on the blade. These arrays would help the user in increasing the flow of the spiritual energy which in turn increased the damage done.

...

Grandmaster Sei sighed and he stood up from the chair as he said, "Time's up. Place your artifacts on the center table and wait for the results outside."

Hao Ren did as he was told, a silver sword from his hand was placed on the table before he turned around and left the place with utmost calm on his face.

…

Outside the examination hall, many people stood silently contemplating the things they did inside the hall, this was causing them to get anxious, while some appeared confident. Xiao Yu walked over and asked, "Master, how was it?"

Hao Ren replied, "It was fine. Did you prepare the list I asked you to?"

Xiao Yu nodded and took out a small paper slip, there were twenty names written on it and they were all people placed in important positions. Be it the vice leader of the Merchant Guild, or the Deputy Chief of the City Guard, they were all in cahoots.

Hao Ren thought of something and asked Xiao Yu with the spiritual communication, "Are they all like you? Spiritually imprinted by that lady?"

Xiao Yu nodded and then she shook her head, as she replied, "There are some people who joined willingly and there are some who are being manipulated. The latter part of the people are all talented. The organization head has never made a public appearance."

Hao Ren nodded, and just when he was about to move on, the door behind them was pushed open and Grandmaster Sei walked out with a quick step. He said, "Out of forty who applied today, three managed to pass."

This caused the people to be disappointed but also eager to find out who these three people were. Grandmaster Sei nodded and said, "The person who ranked third is Master He, your weapon was able to achieve a twenty three percent energy flow, and so you are now a Two-star Master He."

The man called Master He bowed and thanked the old man who continued, "The person who came second is Xiao Han, come out."

A young man walked out of the crowd and the old man said, "You refined a spear that attained a forty percent flow of spiritual energy, that makes you a Four-Star Master He."

The man smiled and the people cheered for him. After that, someone from the crowd asked, "Elder, is there someone even better than Senior Brother Han?"

The elder smiled and replied, "Yes, there is always someone better than you and me. Never get arrogant, and always try to learn more."

The old man finished speaking and he looked at Hao Ren as he said, "The first person in the standings is rather new to the city but he is an old soul when it comes to refining. You have given us a surprise, Eight-Star Master Ren."

Boom!

The people were shocked, because they didn't expect that the gap between Han and Ren would be so big. Hao Ren himself was a little surprised and the old man said, "Are you perhaps thinking why you were given the Eight-star rank? That is because of the unique spirit channels that you have carved inside the blade body."

Hao Ren bowed in thanks and the old man asked, "Well, take these results and then go to the reception counter, they will give you the badge and the rule book. Keep up the good work everyone and may you all grow stronger."

That said, the old man vanished from the place, and he took away Hao Ren's sword as well. The young man couldn't help but curse the old man for being a thief. Xiao Yu led him to the front counter, where Hao Ren received his status badge and put it on almost immediately.

After the formalities were completed, Tei, the man behind the counter said, "You can now accept refining missions and the commissions will be paid in points."

Hao Ren shook his head and said, "I don't want points, I want metals."

Tei chuckled and said, "Points are the internal currency for the council, you can exchange them for precious metals and pills."

The young man understood and nodded before he said, "Well, I will come to accept missions later, for now, I will be celebrating."

Tei sighed and said, "I would have like to crash the party but I still have work to do."

Hao Ren realized that this man wanted to enter the circle, but he held no value to him, so he smiled and said, "Some other time for sure then."

Tei nodded with a smile and Hao Ren passed him ten superior spirit stones and then left the place with Xiao Yu. He could sense Tei's prolonged gaze on his back, that was because this guy was also a member of the so called organization that controlled the flow of everything inside this city.

After leaving the council office, they both took the same path to go back to the sect accommodation areas when Hao Ren asked, "Can you contact all these people to meet me?"

Xiao Yu shook her head and said, "Master, I am just an errand runner, if you want someone to invite these people over, then you should first handle Grandmaster Hephi. He is not manipulated by the council head, but he sure plays with her under the sheets from what I hear.

If my guess is correct, she should be coming over to congratulate you."

Hao Ren raised his brow and said, "You mean to say scout me."

Xiao Yu nodded with reverence in her eyes, Hao Ren thought about it and asked, "What is her cultivation level?"

Xiao Yu replied, "Umm, she is Dao World Peak, or probably half step World Human."

Hao Ren frowned but then he said, "This is good enough. I can handle her, but first, I will handle Old Hephi, a poor guy who made his bed with a woman who brought him trouble. I feel bad for doing this to him."

That said, they reached the sect accommodation and the disciples were shocked looking at the badge on Hao Ren's chest, they all bowed and greeted him as Master Hao, his rising status was going to give him some good leverage in the upcoming event.
