A peculiar look immediately appeared on Jiang Wuyue's face. Even in the Blood G.o.d Legion, which was filled with prodigies, he was considered to be the cream of the crop. However, he was already 28 years old, yet there was a 21-year-old opponent whom he wasn't confident in defeating in battle. This was a ma.s.sive disparity.
Soul Masters progressed at the fastest rate prior to turning to 30. After that, one's body would be completely mature and cease to develop, thereby resulting in a drastic decrease in the speed of one's cultivation.
As such, almost all t.i.tled Douluos had forged strong foundations prior to turning 30 years old, and the most powerful beings on the continent were all eight-ring Soul Douluos or even t.i.tled Douluos already before turning 30.
Jiang Wuyue was very confident that he'd be able to become a t.i.tled Douluo in the future, but that would have to wait until he was at least over 40 years old. However, with Tang Wulin's current powers, he seemed to be able to get to that point even before turning 30!
If he could continue to develop at this rate, he would surely stand at the pinnacle of the entire legion someday.
”What happened?” Long Yuxue asked in an enraged manner as soon as she dragged Tang Wulin out of the combat rooms.
Tang Wulin replied, ”I was challenged to a sparring match as soon as you left, and all we did was spar.”
Long Yuxue was looking at him in a skeptical manner. ”Really?”
”Yes,” Tang Wulin replied with a nod. He liked Jiang Wuyue's personality, and he felt even more inclined to hide some details for his sake after discovering the fact that he possessed a Tyrant Dragon martial soul.
Long Yuxue harrumphed coldly, ”That guy's always picking fights everywhere; you should just ignore him in the future. He didn't hurt you, did he?”
”No, Superior Jiang held back for my sake,” Tang Wulin replied with a smile.
Long Yuxue hadn't seen their sparring match, so she harrumphed coldly, ”That guy's got nothing more than brute strength! Come to think of it, you two are one of a kind; it's no wonder that he holds in such high regard. However, you have to constantly remember that you're a member of our special service department, got it?”
”Yes, Superior.”
Long Yuxue continued, ”I only managed to source one customer for you before I was called here by Qiyue. Let's go to the forging room; the customer's already waiting for us there.”
”Sure!” Tang Wulin was very enthusiastic about earning accolades. After all, his goal was to rise up the ranks as quickly as possible.
The forging rooms were also situated in the living area, but in contrast with the combat rooms, the forging rooms were relegated to a more secluded location. The soundproofing materials here were quite limited, so they had no choice but to place the forging rooms here in order to not affect anyone else.
Long Yuxue said to Tang Wulin as she walked, ”I've invested everything I have in you, so if the customer asks for something that you can't do, don't agree to their request. If you ruin our reputation with the very first job you do, we'll be in big trouble.”
”Alright.” Tang Wulin didn't provide any in-depth explanation. The truth would speak for itself.
Sure enough, after arriving at the forging room, there was already someone waiting for them. This was a female military official who appeared to be around 30 years of age, and her epaulets indicated that she was a lieutenant colonel. Her disposition was quite warm and gentle, and she wasn't particularly beautiful, but she was quite charismatic and approachable.
”Sister Lu Ni!” Long Yuxue called out in an intimate voice before rus.h.i.+ng forward and latching onto the female lieutenant colonel's arm.
Lu Ni smiled as she cast her gaze toward Tang Wulin, and asked, ”Is this handsome lad the blacksmith you were talking about?”
Long Yuxue nodded in response. ”That's right! He's new here, and he only just received his military rank, but he's already a second lieutenant. He's currently undertaking his special training under my supervision, and he's a very good blacksmith as well.”
A hint of a surprise flashed through Lu Ni's eyes upon hearing this. She had never heard of a newbie being granted the rank of second lieutenant right away. Tang Wulin appeared to be quite young, but she wasn't skeptical of his forging skills in the slightest. Instead, she said in a very polite manner, ”Please look after me.”
