Chapter 32 – Heavy Silver Storage Rings (1/2)

Mang Tian said, “This is what I made yesterday. Both of them posses one-eighth of a cubic meter of s.p.a.ce. It's just enough for you to use.”

Tang Wulin stared at Mang Tian in shock. In his three years of learning at the elementary academy, in addition to Mang Tian's words, he was well aware of what they were. “Teacher, are these storage soul tools? This… I can't accept them. They're too valuable.”

Mang Tian said, “These are storage soul tools of the lowest grade. They don't even have a soul power battery, so only a Soul Master can use it by pouring their own soul power into it. It's really not worth that much money. You've already worked for me for so long and your wages weren't that high either. You can count this as a bonus.”

Tang Wulin was stammering as he said, “But I've already accepted your Heavy Silver.” A storage soul tool. It was actually a storage soul tool! He didn't even dare to think of obtaining one, but now, two were right in front of him. His teacher was even gifting it to him. How could he not want them? It was just that he had already received too much from his teacher.

Mang Tian pulled Tang Wulin's hand and slipped the Heavy Silver Ring on. The ring adjusted its size to fit his wrist just perfectly.

Afterwards, he did the same with the other arm.

Although these rings seemed dull, when Tang Wulin looked at them, they seemed full of meaning to him. Tang Wulin couldn't help but tear up a bit at the sight of those rings.

“Teacher…”

Mang Tian had a wooden expression as he said, “The fist doesn't leave the hand, music doesn't leave the mouth. For us blacksmiths, it is the hammer that doesn't leave our hands. Are you going to carry your hammers around with you when you roam the streets? You must remember, Blood Sacrificed Thousand Refined metals must be used frequently. Your aura, your blood vessels, and your soul power will all nurture it. The longer you're with it, the stronger the bond. If you grow powerful enough in the future, it might even gain another refinement effect.

“Good then. Go home now and pack up your things. Come visit me one more time before you leave for Eastsea City.”

Tang Wulin suddenly recalled something and said to Mang Tian, “Teacher, you previously said this is your own work. Could it be that you're a Soul Guide Master?”

Mang Tian went silent for a moment. “I can be considered one, but I'd rather just be a blacksmith. I'm not able to walk too far on the path of a Soul Guide Master. You'll understand why in the future. Now run along and go properly cultivate your soul power. You must remember that soul power is the foundation of everything. Even if you have innate divine strength, it will still have its limits. Moreover, on the Douluo Continent, no matter the occupation, soul power is crucial once you reach the upper levels. In the future, you definitely can't fuse with just any spirit soul.”

“Yes.”

“Try out your Heavy Silver Rings. You just need to insert some soul power into them and use your mind to control it. Then it'll store or take out any items you want.”

Tang Wulin nodded, then picked up his two Thousand Refined Heavy Silver Hammers.

As the era changed, soul tools began to penetrate deeply into human society. In fact, not all soul tools needed soul power to operate. The name simply stuck due to it being the original name that was used long ago.

Humanity had already learned how to exploit the power of the wind, water, sun and so on. With these new methods, they have been able to manufacture energies similar to soul power. This new energy was used in every trade, especially in the development of soul mechas. Soul mechas have already been turned into the main combat weapon of the federation.

Even Tang Wulin had encountered soul tools in his life. For example, the soul lamp in his home, or those vehicles powered by soul energy on the roads. There were many more kinds of soul tools. Even the forging station in front of him was a soul tool. Even with how prevalent it was in society however, this was still the first time that he owned a soul tool himself.
