Chapter -0020.

Xiao Ming leaps forward, brandishing his sword high above his head, ready to deliver a powerful attack and draw the Black Iron Bear's attention away from Wei Feng. But he underestimates the creature's agility and intelligence. The Demonic Beast doesn't even bother to look at Xiao Ming as he swipes his left hand as if he's swatting away a mosquito.

However, this time Black Iron Bear also underestimated his opponent.

*COUNTER-ATTACK*

Xiao Ming's Sword triggered the Counter Attack Neural Reflex Matrix passive skill.

The Sword suddenly got his own mind and instead of attacking it came forward to deflect the massive arm of the Black Iron Bear and then without his permission Xiao Ming's body swung in the air while the Sword got high up above his head and gleamed with a sharp aura.

*KAACHAA*

The Iron strong fur and skin of the Black Iron Bear which has never got penetrated now got penetrated by a single attack. However, instead of blood, sparkles shot out of its massive fur hand. Black Iron Bear who was not paying attention suddenly felt a sharp cut pain in his arm as he turned with his eyes Red in rage. However, instead of seeing the blood from the cut on his arm, he saw sparkles coming out which mesmerised him, pacifying his rage.

"What interesting weapons do you both have? Who are you? Where did you get these weapons?" Suddenly the low growl voice turned into a normal amiable Elder voice who is happy with their junior. Both Xiao Ming and Wei Feng felt their fear of this Black Iron Bear fading away.

Xiao Ming who was well-versed in this kind of situation and had also read a lot about it quickly sheathed his sword and bowed deeply. "Senior, first I would apologise for disturbing you."

"No need to apologise, I was just having fun in return." The Black Iron Bear sat down like a doll. "Come down little one, no need to fear me, let's have a talk." He looked at Wei Feng up high and called him gently.

Wei Feng hesitated momentarily before gesturing to Butl-R to carefully descend from the tree, keeping a safe distance from the Black Iron Bear. As he landed on the ground, he copied Xiao Ming and bowed deeply to show respect.

"We apologise for disturbing you, Senior." Wei Feng also said the same thing. Butl-R also joined.

"What are you?" Black Iron Bear curiously asked when he looked at Butl-R.

"I am a Butler Robot, Butl-R." Butl-R's mature and soothing voice made the little tense atmosphere more breathable.

"Butler Robot? I have never heard of a creature of a kind named Butler Robot." The Black Iron Bear's voice had a child-like curiosity.

"That's because I am not a creature of nature, I am crafted by my master, Master Wei Feng." Butl-R pointed at Wei Feng with the utmost respect.

"Crafted? Does that mean your weapon and his sword are also crafted by you?" Now Black Iron Bear's voice had a little growl because of his sudden excitement. "Ahmm! I apologise for my outburst." However, he quickly recovered.

"You are absolutely correct, Senior! My little brother has made these." Xiao Ming quickly added and Black Iron Bear's excitement was back.

He looked at Wei Feng like he was looking at the rarest of the rare mythical gem.

However, Wei Feng simply sighed and shook his head. Seeing his expression Black Iron Bear got confused and then he thought logically, how can a mere child make these things, that means these other two are lying, he didn't feel like they were lying so he waited for Wei Feng to say something.

"I am Wei Feng and yes, these weapons were made by me but not crafted. I am just a mere medium but not the source. I don't know the source. To explain in simple terms, it's a Unique method and that's the extent of my knowledge." Wei Feng gave a measured answer which was open to interpretation.

"Hmm…A Unique Method!" Black Iron Bear looked deep in thought as he looked into the eyes of Wei Feng. Wei Feng also somehow didn't budge his eyes and kept them steady and honest. "Child! You talk like a mature adult and are full of secrets which you do not want to disclose but I do not sense any malice in it. Maybe you are far more cunning than me or I have finally gotten rusty in my old age. But you have shown me something as you said, a unique method. I am now curious and I can't let you go unless I am fully satisfied. Now tell me what do I have to do to quench my curiosity?

"I apologise to the Senior, but this is very abrupt and also again please spare us for our lack of faith in Senior." Xiao Ming quickly interjected. Wei Feng stayed silent and did not evade his eyes as both Black Iron Bear and he was still locked in the staring contest.

"Then let's have introductions first. I am Hei Tie, a curious bear who loves crafting and refining metal." The Black Iron Bear introduced himself. However, Hei Tie felt he was not sincere enough so he sighed and added more. "I came here to join Azure Dragon Sect, to learn more about Refining Metal but got rejected every time I tried. But I haven't given up yet. I will keep trying until my goal is fulfilled. Until then your unique method will be helpful for me to improve my chances."

Xiao Ming and Wei Feng looked at each other like they found a bizarre coincidence. Seeing their look Hei Tie also felt something was amiss.

"Umm…Senior Hei Tie, we both are disciples of Azure Dragon Sect." Xiao Ming sheepishly revealed the information.

Hei Tie, The Black Iron Bear's eyes went wide with shock. "HUHHH!!!??" Mouth wide open, Hei Tie froze like an Iron statue.

"Senior! Senior Hei Tie? What happened?" Xiao Ming asked but this time his voice did not have the reserve like earlier but a tinge of playfulness like he caught a weakness.
