Chapter 861: Secret? (1/2)
After Mu Ye left the kitchen with Tang Wulin, a faint smile appeared on Zang Xin's face. ”The Body Sect has finally found an exceptional successor.”
Zhen Hua also smiled, and said, ”I'm quite surprised that the Tang Sect holds Wulin in such high regard. In all honesty, I also have very high hopes for him. I heard from Mu Chen that he's very close to becoming a Saint Blacksmith; he's most likely paying me a visit so I can instruct him in making a breakthrough.”
”Saint Blacksmith? How old is that kid?” Xu Shengqun was very stunned to hear this.
A proud look appeared on Zhen Hua's face. ”Wulin is the most talented blacksmith I've ever seen. If there's going to be another blacksmith that appears on this continent who's capable of heavenly forging, then it's definitely going to be him.”
Everyone was naturally aware of what it meant for a blacksmith to be capable of heavenly forging, and Zhen Hua had only said this in such a roundabout manner as he didn't want to boast about his own Divine Blacksmith status.
Tang Liyue and Zhu Xuan exchanged a glance, and both of them could see their own intrigue mirrored in one another's eyes.
Zang Xin still wore a faint smile on his face, but he said, ”The Tang Sect holds him in higher regard than any of you can imagine, so please don't think about trying to recruit him.”
He naturally wasn't saying this to Zhen Hua. The blacksmith association didn't have any conflict of interest with the world of Soul Masters. On the contrary, the two formed a symbiotic relationship. However, the same couldn't be said about the Tang Sect, the Spirit Pagoda, and the Battle God Hall.
Tang Liyue smiled, and said, ”You can't be too protective and overbearing, Senior Zang! Our Battle God Hall never discriminates; just because he's a Tang Sect disciple doesn't mean he can't join our Battle God Hall as well.”
Zang Xin merely smiled in response.
Xu Shengqun wanted to say something, but he decided against it in the end after taking a glance at the smiling Amorous Douluo.
He was one of the seven most powerful people in the Spirit Pagoda, but even he didn't dare to cross any lines in the face of Zang Xin. Zang Xin's official title was the vice-palace master of the Douluo Palace, but as one of the most powerful people in the Spirit Pagoda, Xu Shengqun knew that he was essentially the Douluo Palace Master, a man who stood at the very pinnacle of the world.
The Spirit Pagoda chairman had once said that the opponent he least wanted to face on this continent wasn't Atlas Douluo of Shrek Academy. Instead, it was the two Douluo Palace Masters. That in itself was extremely high praise toward these two palace masters.
In the kitchen.
After closing the door, Mu Ye's expression relaxed a little, and he suddenly raised a hand before bringing it down toward Tang Wulin's shoulder.
Tang Wulin knew what he was going to do, so he stood on the spot and allowed Mu Ye's hand to fall onto his shoulder.
An immense burst of power immediately descended onto his body.
Compared to Zhen Hua, it had actually been a longer time since he'd last seen Mu Ye. The two of them hadn't met ever since he'd returned from the Star Luo Continent.
Mu Ye was clearly quite taken aback. He'd already taken into account the fact that Tang Wulin's strength had to have increased, so he'd exerted a lot of force with that palm, but much to his surprise, Tang Wulin displayed no reaction to his power whatsoever.
A smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face, and Mu Ye raised an eyebrow as he abruptly exerted even more power through his palm.
Tang Wulin continued to wash potatoes in a composed manner. ”Teacher, do you need these peeled?”
Mu Ye's lips twitched, and his heart was filled with astonishment. Even a normal power system Soul Sage would've been crushed by the strength that he'd just exerted, yet Tang Wulin was making it seem as if he didn't even feel it. How was this possible?
