Chapter 180 - Improvemen (2/2)

If I continue to improve my forging, will I be able to forge my own battle armor when I have four rings?

The very thought of having a battle armor got his blood pumping. On the road home, he recalled Wu Zhangkong's explanation about battle armors. If I had a battle armor, that Three-Eyed Demon Ape wouldn't have even stood a chance!

Teacher Wu is so awesome! Tang Wulin had witnessed five of Wu Zhangkong's six soul skills, and though he didn't really know what the ten-thousand-year soul skill was, the unparalleled might of that slash which killed the Three-Eyed Demon Ape was obvious.

Will I be that strong in the future? Tang Wulin had unknowingly placed Wu Zhangkong as his goal.

Tang Wulin visited the Blacksmith's a.s.sociation and immediately went to find Mu Chen.

“Teacher, I'm back.”

At the sight of his enthusiastic disciple, Mu Chen cracked a smile. “How are you? Was your vacation relaxing?” He was the most easy-going among Tang Wulin's teachers. As long as he wasn't in the middle of teaching, he would reveal a warm temperament.

“I gained a lot from it, but I didn't have a chance to practice forging the whole time.” Tang Wulin lowered his head in shame.

Mu Chen let out a hearty laugh. “You're such an honest child. Don't worry about it so much; relaxing is also a part of cultivating. Once you reach a certain level of forging, practicing constantly is no longer as important as acc.u.mulating and consolidating your experiences.”

“Dad, you're too nice to him. Why didn't you let me go out and play during my vacation? You made me forge every day,” a familiar voice whined. Mu Xi entered the room with a pouting face.

Mu Chen said, “When your own forging level is as good as Tang Wulin's, then you can have a vacation too.”

“Hmph!” Mu Xi shot a glare at Tang Wulin before stomping out.

Tang Wulin was at a loss as to how to deal with his senior disciple sister's hostility. She really is unbridled.

“This kid…” Mu Chen knit his brows. He understood the compet.i.tive nature of his daughter but he never thought about correcting it. It was a virtue for youngsters to have such a personality. A compet.i.tive heart would drive one to work harder.

Mu Xi definitely made Tang Wulin her goal, otherwise she wouldn't have acted like that. This is good, but it's a pity that her rival is a little freak like Wulin. It won't be easy for her to surpa.s.s him!

“You've just returned; go rest first. But let me warn you, your training will be even more rigorous from now on, so prepare yourself. Since you have three days until school resumes, use one day to rest and return to learn the other two days.”

“Yes.” The lack of any admonition set Tang Wulin at ease, but still, he resolved himself. I can't let Teacher down!

After leaving Mu Chen's office, Tang Wulin went to accept two rank three blacksmith tasks before returning to the workshop.

He had meditated the entire ride home so he wasn't tired at all and planned on completing these two a.s.signments before he went to learn from Mu Chen. They would count as a warm-up and prevent his hands from being shaky when he was with Mu Chen.

He adjusted the forging table, set the metal down, and began forging.

He became more comfortable with the Thousand Refined Heavy Silver Hammers as time pa.s.sed and was surprised to discover the truth in Mu Chen's words. He hadn't simply said them to comfort Tang Wulin. After a month away from forging, the process he made was actually going more smoothly than before. He could easily sense the fine changes within the metal and its spirit now.

Tang Wulin had a.s.sumed he would produce a failed product the first time as he readjusted himself to forging, but contrary to his expectations the entire process flowed smoothly. Every chunk of metal was Thousand Refined successfully and was of an even higher quality than before the vacation. With the aid of the Purple Demon Eyes, his efficiency had also increased by fifty percent. His soul power had also increased, and aided by the compression due to the Mysterious Heaven Method, he now possessed more stamina to forge for longer lengths of time.

This was a markedly pleasant surprise. In the past, he could only Thousand Refine two chunks of metal in a row, but now he could work with four and end up with even higher quality results.

Regardless of whether they were Hundred Refined or Thousand Refined, there were several grades a.s.signed to the quality. There were three grades for Hundred Refined: low, medium and high. The Thousand Refined had five grades total with first grade at the top and fifth grade at the bottom.
