"See My first Soul Skill is Bladesurge. I spent an extra ten thousand Federation Credits to have the Spirit Master choose this Soul Spirit for me. The Soul Spirit is also a blade, directly attached to my Martial Soul. My Bladesurge is invincible!"

Tang Wulin frowned, "You talk so much nonsense."

Wan Yunchao's eyes widened, "Even now, you dare to talk nonsense to me I was holding back out of fear of harming you. Quickly, admit defeat! I'll let you go, otherwise, my blade isn't blind." As he spoke, he swung his arm backward, and where the blade passed, a tree with a bowl-sized trunk was instantly cut in half.

Tang Wulin's eyes narrowed, "Plants have life too. Why would you cut them down for no reason"

Wàn Yúnchāo was just about to speak when he saw a circle of white light rising from under Tang Wǔlín's feet. Tendrils of blue silver grass surged out from his palms.

The slender blue-silver vines did not directly pounce on him, but instead rose up into the air, and then a piercing shriek echoed through the woods.

"Slap, slap, slap!"

"Ouch! It hurts so much. Tang Wulin, you're such a rascal. If you have the guts, come closer to me."

"Pop, pop, pop!"

"Oh, oh, I admit defeat, I admit defeat, isn't that enough How can you, with your blue silver grass, be so skilled!"

When the two emerged from the forest, Wan Yunchao was bruised and battered with several lash marks on his body.

Tang Wulin wasn't very good at controlling his Blue Silver Grass. It had been constantly searching for Na'er, and even his meditation had been neglected. But this didn't stop him from directing the Blue Silver Grass directly towards Wan Yunchao.

Both of them were still children and didn't know any fighting techniques. The Blue Silver Grass fully demonstrated the characteristic of "an inch long, an inch strong." Wan Yunchao's short blade couldn't leave his side, and he himself didn't have any fighting skills. The outcome was predictable.

"Why Why would this happen With my soul skills, I should be able to beat you!" Wan Yunchao cried out in anguish to Tang Wulin, who was supporting himself.

Tang Wulin said angrily: “Teacher Lin has passed away for a long time. Your martial soul is suitable for close combat, and you are suited to the agile attack route. You're so fat now, how can you be agile”

"I clearly slashed at your Blue Silver Grass with my blade just now, why couldn't I cut it" Wan Yunchao said, looking unconvinced.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Tang Wulin said, “This is the characteristic of my Blue Silver Grass. It can't be cut before my soul power runs out.”

Wan Yunchao shouted excitedly, "I want to lose weight, I want to attack quickly!"

Tang Wulin, “What’s for dinner at your place tonight”

``` ```

"It looks like, or maybe it's an elbow."

After sending Qian Yunchao home, Tang Wulin rushed to the Meng Studio.

To his surprise, Meng Yin was waiting for him in his forge.

"Teacher." Tang Wulin respectfully greeted Meng, ever since he learned that his teacher was actually a four-ringed Soul Sage level powerhouse, he had become even more respectful towards Meng.

He nodded and said, "Have you graduated"

Tang Wulin said, “Well. Graduated.”

Mengdao said, "The junior college will be in Donghai City, right"

Tang Wulin said, "That's right! I was just about to tell you. Now that I'm going to the East Sea City to study, I won't be able to continue learning forging from you."

Meng said faintly, "I only like the tranquility here, but it doesn't mean I won't leave. In fact, all the jobs we take are from the East Sea City side. You can't fall behind on your forging training. I also have a studio in East Sea City, and I'll give you a forge room there. Every so often, I'll go past to guide you."

Tang Wulin's heart warmed, "Teacher, you..."

His eyes blazed as he stared at him, "The East Sea City is a true metropolis, unlike this small town of Aolai. Before you go, you must first pass my test, or you won't be qualified to continue learning blacksmithing with me there."

"Examination" Tang Wulin was stunned. "Teacher, what kind of examination"

A glint flashed in Mang's eyes, "Thousand Forges!"

Tang Wulin exclaimed in surprise, "Master, you're finally willing to teach me Thousand Forging"

Here's the translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Mn nodded, "After you fused with the soul spirit, your power has increased again. You should be able to support a thousand forgings now. Completing one thousand forging would mean you passed my test."

When he uttered this sentence, there was a strange feeling in his heart. He still clearly remembered that when he first started practicing Thousand Forging, he was already fifteen years old, and his soul power level had surpassed twenty levels. Moreover, his martial soul was the Earth Hammer, which was renowned for its strength. At fifteen years old, completing Thousand Forging, he had already been hailed as a prodigy in the forging world.

It's a shame...

"Teacher, are we starting now" Tang Wulin's excited voice startled Meng's reverie.

"Hold on, let me test your strength first. You've failed many parts recently, one because your mind is not focused, and the other because you have a problem controlling your power." Mang coldly observed from the side, having long discovered Linzi's problems.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Yes, not only was Mo's power out of whack, but Tang Wulin himself also discovered that his own strength seemed to be malfunctioning.

After merging with the soul spirit, he swung his arms with force, producing a sonic boom. His power had noticeably increased. Afterward, he became engrossed in searching for Nala and was consumed by grief after her departure, causing him to put this matter aside. At that moment, prompted by his teacher, he remembered it himself.

Isn't it so A few times when I was forging these parts, some failures were caused by over-exerting myself.

Meng brought Tang Wulin to his own forging room. It was much messier than Tang Wulin's room. Among a pile of messy instruments, he found the one used specifically to judge the power of the forging room.

Strength testing instrument.

This device is simple to make, but it requires great precision in order to accurately test a blacksmith's strength. The strength testing instrument consists of two parts: below is a square platform, above which is a cylindrical object, and behind it is a two-meter-high metal column with a slender mercury column on top.

When a blacksmith is testing his strength, he only needs to strike the metal column with a hammer. The mercury column behind it will then rise in proportion to the force of the blow, thereby testing the striking power.

The forging hammer used for testing is uniformly regulated to be one hundred jin. The strength tester will automatically deduct the force brought by the forging hammer itself.

Since Tang Wulin arrived at the Meng studio, he has conducted a strength test every year.

Here is the translated text:

During his first test, he hit with a force of 140 kilograms. He was only seven years old at the time. By age eight, it had increased to 200 kilograms. Although this result is partly due to the inertia generated when swinging a hammer, it is still very impressive to achieve such power.

The nine-year test hasn't been conducted yet, so it's a good time to add it.

"Let's begin. Left hand first." Mang handed him the test forging hammer.and he remained silent for a long time before murmuring, "It seems we don't need to secretly give them extra points. They seem to have a chance to score 60 points! It's interesting."It seems that the...
