”The supporters of Shrek Academy will never give up on trying to revive it, yet the revival of Shrek Academy is something that none of the major powers on the continent want to see. Hence, you can imagine how much pressure he'll be under in the future. A man like him is destined to have an extraordinary life, but also one that's fraught with peril, do you understand what I'm getting at?”

Long Yuxue said, ”But our Blood G.o.d Legion is almost completely independent from the federation; what does this have to do with anything? No one will try to hunt him down here!”

Long Tianwu slapped his own forehead in a resigned manner. ”What I'm saying is that he's going to leave someday, you silly girl! He's not going to stay in the Blood G.o.d Legion forever!”

Long Yuxue faltered slightly upon hearing this. He was going to leave someday? In her memory, all truly exceptional soldiers would choose to stay here and serve the legion generation after generation. She was born here and had spent her entire life here, and she'd never thought about leaving this place. However, her father's words had enlightened her. Tang Wulin was different from her, and he was inevitably going to leave someday.

An indescribable feeling suddenly welled up in her heart, and she abruptly turned before rus.h.i.+ng away. ”I have to ask him about this!”

Long Tianwu looked on as his daughter quickly departed, and he heaved a forlorn internal sigh. Perhaps her daughter had developed feelings for Tang Wulin already. Thankfully, he'd cautioned her before it was too late, and he could only hope that she wouldn't go beyond the point of no return.

He pressed down on the communicator on his desk.

”Major General.”

”I have an order to announce with immediate effect; from now on, all accolades earned through secondary occupations will be increased by 120%, but those accolades can't contribute toward promotions; only accolades earned through battle will be applicable for promotions.”

”Yes!”

It would be far too easy for a Saint Blacksmith to earn accolades, and he couldn't allow Tang Wulin to rise up the ranks too quickly as that would not be a good thing for the Blood G.o.d Legion.

Unbeknownst to Tang Wulin, Long Yuxue's excitement had led her to do something that would shatter his dream of earning promotions through his forging skills.

After Lu Ni departed with her cannon barrel, Tang Wulin had thought that he'd immediately be inundated by a flood of customers, but that was not the case. Only in the afternoon did Lu Ni bring two military officials to see him. Both of them were female military officials; one of them was a major while the other was a colonel.

Neither of them said much; all they did was ask for quotes from Tang Wulin before asking him to forge a spirit refined part for each of them.

Thus, Tang Wulin displayed his enormous forging ability again, and forged a pair of high-quality parts in an extremely short time right before the astonished eyes of the three female military officials.

After issuing him the required accolades, the two military officials didn't say much before departing with Lu Ni. After that, Tang Wulin received no more customers for that day, and Long Yuexue didn't come to visit him again, either.

That night, after ascertaining that there was no way he'd receive any more customers, Tang Wulin finally returned to his room. He was rather perplexed; why was it that he hadn't received any more customers with his forging skills? What had he done wrong to result in this lack of customers?

Only during the next day did he understand why this was happening. The reason was very simple; Lu Ni had kept his forging room a secret.

Everyone knew the value of a Saint Blacksmith, and everyone was also inevitably selfish to some extent. Lu Ni had taken two of her friends to Tang Wulin for those spirit refined parts in order to further test his abilities, and no one else came to employ his services after that as Lu Ni and her close friends had gone back to prepare everything that they needed forged. They wanted to get all of their things forged before news of Tang Wulin's status as a Saint Blacksmith spread through the entire Blood G.o.d Legion.

As such, when Lu Ni returned the next morning, there were five female military officials with her, and the amount of work they brought was quite startling even to Tang Wulin. Three of the majors wanted him to forge spirit refined metals for full suits of battle armor, and for this purpose, they had taken out ma.s.sive accolade loans the night before.

Hence, this was undoubtedly a huge job.
