Chapter 118 - Senior Sisters (1/2)

Mang Tian was shocked at Mu Chen's words. “Isn't that too quick? Saint rank by thirty?”

Mu Chen revealed a wry smile. “You know what they say; the sooner the better. The important thing is that people have the most energy in their youth, and if they don't take advantage of that time to accomplish something, both the body and mind will begin to decline. My plans for him might seem hasty, but don't forget, he's only nine years old. He still has 21 years until he reaches thirty. If he can't do it in 21 years, then I fear it will be near impossible for him to ever reach that level. Wulin, what level is your spiritual power right now?”

Tang Wulin answered, “I just tested it today and it's 66 points.”

“Spirit Connection realm?” Mu Chen and Mang Tian exclaimed in unison, eyes sparkling with antic.i.p.ation.

Nine years old and already at Spirit Connection. Just what did this mean? The two of them couldn't even comprehend it.

Mu Chen blurted out, “No wonder your perception in forging is so great. It's because of your immense spiritual power. This is great; I don't have to worry anymore about whether you can fuse with another spirit soul or not. Now you just need to put all of your effort toward cultivating your soul power.

Tang Wulin said, “I am certain I can earn enough money through forging to buy my own cultivation resources, so long as the a.s.sociation can help me find the items I'm looking for when the time comes.”

His confidence came from the fact that his income was increasing and that he would soon become a fourth rank blacksmith.

This was considering the fact that he still had to balance this with his studies. If he solely focused on forging, then he could support a prosperous family with his output and success rate.

Mu Chen wasn't anxious to guide Tang Wulin on how to practice forging yet. Instead, he simply arranged a time for when Tang Wulin would come to the a.s.sociation next.

Mang Tian and Mu Chen let Tang Wulin return to the academy first while the two of them stayed behind to discuss some matters.

After handing in his task and receiving his reward, Tang Wulin left the Blacksmith's a.s.sociation.

Tang Wulin's mood was great. After all, President Mu Chen was a Saint Blacksmith! With him as a second teacher, Tang Wulin wouldn't take any detours on the path of forging and would also have the a.s.sociation's resources at his disposal. Those four thousand year spirit items wouldn't be that hard to find anymore, as he would be able to obtain them as long as he had enough money.

He would forge and cultivate with all of his effort and break the second seal by the time he turned fifteen. This was Tang Wulin's goal.

He clearly remembered what Old Tang had told him: there would be a nice surprise for him after breaking the second seal. But just what was this nice surprise?

The golden scales and dragon claw he had obtained after breaking the first seal had already greatly boosted his power and enabled him to barely enter the cla.s.s of geniuses, cla.s.s zero. Wouldn't he be on the same level as those geniuses after breaking the second seal then? The only issue remaining was his low soul power.

Although he was on the verge of breaking through to rank 14, Tang Wulin could feel the effects of the Golden Dragon King's soul fragment disappearing. In other words, he couldn't continue as he had before as his soul power continued to increase naturally. In the end, cultivation was an endless process! The Golden Dragon King's soul had mutated his Bluesilver Gra.s.s and made it much more powerful, but it didn't increase his cultivation speed at all.

Tang Wulin pondered over his future cultivation path as he left the Blacksmith's a.s.sociation

“Hey!” A voice called out to Tang Wulin, rousing his from his contemplations. When he turned around, he was met with the sight of Mu Xi standing in the doorway. She stared at him with a complex expression.

“h.e.l.lo senior sister.” Tang Wulin was surprised to see her. He didn't have any good impressions of Mu Xi after she displayed her bossy att.i.tude in front of him.

Mu Xi said, “You've taken my dad on as your master, so you should call me senior disciple sister in the future.”

“h.e.l.lo senior disciple sister.” Tang Wulin greeted her in a docile manner. That's right! She really is my senior disciple sister now.

“You're going back to the academy now?” Mu Xi asked.

“En.” Tang Wulin nodded.

Mu Xi said, “Then let's go.” She took the lead to walk ahead.

Tang Wulin hurriedly caught up to her and began to awkwardly scratch his head. He really didn't understand why Mu Xi wanted to walk with him back to the academy.

“So what do you think of Heavy Silver?” Mu Xi asked.

A discussion about forging? Tang Wulin's interest was piqued. Although Mu Xi's blacksmith rank wasn't as high as Tang Wulin's, she had been learning how to forge from Mu Chen all her life. Her views were definitely much broader than his own.

“Heavy Silver is very dense, but its internal structure is actually granular. I am able to sense these granules transforming during the Thousand Refinements so I continuously try to pound them to decrease the gaps between the granules. Once the gaps are small enough, my Thousand Refinements is basically complete. I think Heavy Silver is actually very much suited for the Thousand Refinements because I can sense their joy during the process. They tell me just how much strength I need to use to make them the most comfortable. Like this, my Thousand Refinements require half the work with twice the effect.” Tang Wulin spoke without the slightest hesitation of his experiences with Heavy Silver.

“The metal speaks to you?” Mu Xi was amazed by what Tang Wulin had said. This was because Mu Chen had spoken to her of the very same thing when she was a child.
