ppeared, leaving no trace at all. 。But in this moment of focused introspection, Tang Wulin was surprised to find that his mental power seemed to have increased significantly. 。more than several times...When it came to Gu Yue, Xie Xie couldn't help but deflate. Over the past week, he had fought against Gu Yue more than once. Although he was still a bit unwilling to accept it, he had to admit that he was still no match for her. Gu Yue's control over the six elements was simply too unpredictable and ever-changing, with no discernible patterns. Coupled with the boost from her first soul skill, Element Tide, even if he consumed his soul power, he wasn't Gu Yue's opponent.

Tang Wulin said: "Alright, it's getting late, everyone meditate quickly. I'm going to see my teacher tomorrow, so I won't be at the academy anymore."

The intermediate academy had one day off every week, which students could arrange themselves. Tang Wulin hadn't been able to complete Long Tie's forging task all week, and he was a little anxious himself. Just in time, Mang also came, and he just happened to finish the task together.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Tang Wulin left the academy and headed straight for Meng Studio.

Before he even stepped inside, he could hear the clinking and clattering sounds coming from within.

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

"Teacher!" Tang Wulin pushed open the door with his key and entered the forge. He saw Mang who was busy working inside.

He glanced at him, "Hmm, your spirit looks good. It seems you've been diligently cultivating."

Tang Wulin scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "But, forging..."

"Mo waved his hand and said, 'Since you can already forge a thousand times, it means you've entered another stage. This is not something that can be improved by simply practicing. At your age, the most important thing is to strive to improve your soul power cultivation. So you're not wrong, but come here every week on your day off from now on. Alright, go change your clothes, and then I'll take you through the use of the Thousand Forged Silver Hammer. We'll finish the task you accepted this afternoon.'"

For this disciple, he simply couldn't put on a cold face. When he went to Master Cen Yue yesterday to get the disciple's contact number, he was pestered by Cen Yue for a long time. Even the president came to ask personally.

Although Donghuatan City isn't considered a prestigious city across the entire continent, Mucen is one of the top ten Saint Craftsmen on the mainland. He's renowned not only in the blacksmithing world but throughout the entire continent. If it weren't for his deceased wife being from Donghuatan City, he wouldn't have settled here at all.

Yesterday, even Mu Chen offered to help Tang Wulin with his studies if he needed it. How could Meng not be delighted by this

However, in his view, now Tang Wulin's self-teaching was enough. He also had his own selfishness; now handing Tang Wulin over to Mu Chen, who would be considered his teacher afterwards

This is also why Meng didn't let Tang Wulin demonstrate his Thousand Forging abilities and directly apply for a Tier 3 smith.

Tang Wulin's talent in forging wasn't just about possessing divine power. While divine power was rare, it wasn't unheard of. However, those who could truly become top-tier blacksmiths relied on more than just divine power alone.

The higher the tier of a blacksmith, the higher the requirements for both comprehension and soul power. This is because in the later stages of forging, it's simply impossible to complete them without sufficient soul power support. Mang suffered from this, otherwise, he would have also had the confidence to advance to a Saint Artisan.

Tang Wulin's divine power made up for his current lack of soul power. More importantly, this child had extraordinary comprehension. He could almost enter a state of concentration during every forging session, especially during the Thousand Forgings and Silver Immersion, where he truly felt the life force of metal.

Remember, it was only when you became a Level 4 blacksmith that you could occasionally enter this state.

This is the translated text:

It's self-evident that Tang Wulin possessed extraordinary talent in forging. Moreover, he wasn't afraid of hardship. For three years, he diligently followed his master, never slacking off, which laid a solid foundation for him. Such a good child, Meng wouldn't bear to just send him away like this.

Māng intends to cultivate Tang Wulin into a master-level blacksmith, allowing him to fully display his abilities. By then, no one will be able to snatch this disciple of his away.

After changing his clothes, Tang Wulin began to practice with the Qianjun Heavy Silver Hammer using ordinary metal.

At first, due to the hammering effect, he was a bit flustered. But this was after all the forging hammer he had forged through blood sacrifice! After some time of practice, he gradually became more familiar with the hammer pair.

Similarly, if the Thousand Forging hammer had a feeling of blood connection with him, then this silver hammer forged with blood gave him a sense of spiritual communion. This feeling was extraordinarily beautiful and unforgettable.

When he was fully immersed in this state, the application of a thousand-forged silver hammer was no longer a problem.

Looking at his disciple, hammer blow after hammer blow striking the metal, seeing his eyes, immersed in the process, reflecting even the silver light of the hammer, Mang couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This child's brilliance, after a thousand forgings, was finally beginning to shine through.

Not until dusk did Tang Wulin, after honing his skills with the Qianjian Chen Yin Hammer, finish forging the dragon iron, bringing an end to his practice for the day.

"Come on, I'll go with you to the blacksmith's association to turn in the task. Then we'll pick up the second one. Complete it by next week's break, and then submit it." Mang instructed.

"Yes!" Tang Wulin quickly replied.

Mang's heart secretly thought, in this way, there would be a week of buffer time, so no one would suspect his forging ability.

In the late afternoon, the blacksmith's association was less crowded than during the day. Mang took Tang Wulin directly to the second floor to turn in his work. A dedicated inspector from the association examined the finished product and paid them their reward.

20,000 Federal Coins. This was Tang Wulin's first time earning this much money at once. He handed the money to Meng, "Teacher, here you go."

"Meng shook his head, "Reaching the level of a second-grade smith, in a way, you've already graduated. This is what you deserve."

"But I still need your forge," Tang Wulin said.

A hint of a smile appeared on Meng's face. "Do you think I would care about these things By the way, your parents have both been on business trips recently, so you don't need to call home."

"Oh, okay."

Putting away twenty thousand Federation coins, Tang Wulin knew he was still far from his goal, but a sense of joy filled his heart. Labor brings wealth, labor brings glory—these were all earned through his own hard work.

After accepting another Level 2 quest, he and Mang finally left the association.

"Teacher, I would like to treat you to a meal." Tang Wulin said with some excitement.

"Māng shook his head, “You go back to the Academy for a meal. The teacher has something to do. Remember, every week off, you go to the teacher's place for forging. Every month, you have to produce one thousand-forged finished product. The teacher will leave the materials there. A thousand-forged finished product is your reward for using my studio."

"Good." Tang Wulin readily agreed.s gleamed with excitement. 。Tang Wulin said, “Okay, let’s go.” 。Xie Xie and Le Zhengyu looked at each other. Although the two often quarreled, in fact, since entering Shrek Academy, the number of ti...
