As Tang Wulin walked out of the forging room, his face was painted with delight. It was not because of the acknowledgement of the two masters, nor was it because he rose to a second rank blacksmith. Instead, he was overjoyed by the amount of 10,000 federation coins he had received from the Heavy Silver component he had forged.
One could actually make a great fortune from forging rare metals!
Cen Yue had told him, before coming out, to report back to the Iron Clever Association within two days to receive the blacksmith badge, and to start accepting jobs from the Association.
“Mang Tian!” The call to his old acquaintance finally worked.
“En?” Mang Tian's voice was as non-existent as the last time they spoke.
“Where did you find yourself such a treasure?” Cen Yue spoke to her device impatiently.
Mang Tian replied clearly, “What are you talking about?”
“Whom do you think I mean? Nine-year-old ninth-ranked student. More surprisingly, he had only forged components directly with Heavy Silver. With his young age, he could definitely master Thousand Refinements in a few years of serious training. With that, he would be well on his way to Grandmaster Blacksmith. How do you train this kid? ”
“Hey, can you say something?”
Cen Yue was not happy with the lack of response she got from Mang Tian.
“I can't say anything. The child was born with an innate divine power and he had a diligent character. That'sthat's all. ”Mang Tian still spoke clearly.
Cen Yue replied to Mang Tian's explanation. “What is your intention to show this child's ability to me when you recommend him here?”
“Ya!” Mang Tian acknowledged his true intentions.
“Speak, what are your conditions for you to give the child to me? Since you would be in the desolate Glorybound City most of the time, do you even have time to guide your disciples? He'd be better off if you let him come with me. I will guide her carefully if you believe me. ”
“I hung up!”
Dudud!
“Backed!” Cen Yue almost dropped her soul communicator out of anger.
“Teacher, are you looking for me?” At that moment, a child in his twenties walked into Cen Yue's room.
“What rank do you rank? How many years have you been under me? Are you unable to complete Thousand Refinements ..... ”The young man, when in a state of loss, unfortunately became the target of all the anger of Cen Yue. This master is usually known for his kind nature.
However, Tang Wulin did not understand the impact of his extraordinary abilities on the others, and he was on his way back to the Academy.
“Take it!” Tang Wulin pushed a bag of 10,000 federation coins onto Xie Xie, who was propped up on his bed. The bruising from Tang Wulin's punch had yet to subside.
Xie Xie looked at him coldly, “Are you trying to escape the match?”
Tang Wulin shook his head in response. “I couldn't pay before because I didn't have any coins. Since I destroyed most of the property, I don't think you should pay for all that. It's 10,000 federation coins. I'll pay you back another 10,000 federation coins when I have them. I'm a guy with my words, and since I've accepted your offer, I'll be there tomorrow after school. You can set the location. ”
Tang Wulin left a bundle of coins next to Xie Xie and headed for his bed after declaring his intention.
Tang Wulin entered a meditative state easily after moving into a cross-legged position on his bed. In fact, today was the first time he had used his martial soul in battle. He had no experience in this and this was even the first true battle he had experienced.
Tang Wulin felt that Xie Xie was a formidable person. If he did not use his Bluesilver Grass soul skill, his own skill would stand no chance in holding Xie Xie back.
From the previous fight today, he gained some understanding of his own soul as well. He remembered the advice his teacher had given him, and agreed that he really needed to increase his control over his Bluesilver Grass.
Xie Xie, however, was just lying on his bed. His mind was filled with images of the previous match today, especially on his inability to cut the grass with his Dragon Light dagger. ‘Is Tang Wulin's martial soul really just Bluesilver Grass? Did I underestimate Tang Wulin's martial soul ability? ‘
‘I'll show him my true colors in the game tomorrow! I'll make him pay the blow! ‘ As he thought of this, Xie Xie touched his swollen cheeks, rekindling the anger of his heart.
Meditation should be done before and after dinner. After all, the awkward bird flew early into the forest. This saying left a deep impression in Tang Wulin's mind.
Dawns. Tang Wulin woke up as soon as the first sunlight poked at him through the window.
The night of meditation did help recover some of his soul power. Once he entered rank 10, he felt a clear difference in the time it took to regain his energy. At the same time, he would need more soul power to advance to the next stage. This required him to use more time to accumulate the amount.
As he got off his bed, his gaze was unintentionally fixed on his occupant in the lower bed of the other bed across the room. Xie Xie, who seemed to be meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.
Both eyes locked for a few moments. Xie Xies gaze was cold, whereas Tang Wulin looked indifferent. Shortly after, Tang Wulin broke his gaze and headed for the bathroom.
According to him, Xie Xie was just a rich city boy; he showed an image of commanding, decisiveness, and contempt. Tang Wulin would rather befriend Zhou Zhangxi than a rich city boy.
After finishing the morning shower, nothing else can stop him from his most important activity, meal time.
However, Tang Wulin did not realize that his previous challenge in eating steamed buns had earned him the nickname “Beras Ember”, although he had not even started his journey in the academy.
When he woke up earlier than the others, he was greeted with an empty dining room. Inside the hall were three similar windows. Breakfast, like previous meals, is categorized into three categories. Tang Wulin naturally headed to the third window, which provided free food.
Breakfast consists of milk, eggs, sausages, bread, and vegetables.
Tang Wulin helped himself and stockpiled the pyramid food on his plate before going to the empty table in the corner to devour his food.
The dining room chef recognized Tang Wulin for his record-breaking appetite and feared the child's stomach could not take all the food. But she now knew that the child was fine when she saw Tang Wulin's actions through the window.
Xie Xie entered the dining room just as Tang Wulin started with his meal. Like Tang Wulin, his thoughts had already been made and he headed straight to the first window, collecting a plate of food as well.
One would think that the food on Xie Xie's plate was similar to Tang Wulin's just from a glance. However, a closer inspection will make people realize the difference. Take the example of milk; it is not just milk, but that which is taken from wild animals locked up in captivity. Like other foods on its plate, they contain higher amounts of nutrients, all from various origins.
But, if one were to compare the portion of rice consumed between the two, he would realize that Tang Wulin's portion was as much or even more than ten times what Xie Xie had on his plate.
Although the two sat far apart, each in solitude, Xie Xie continued to glance occasionally at Tang Wulin. However, Tang Wulin concentrated on the breakfast in front of him.
The dining room became crowded as students began to enter. Just like how the night before, they started pointing and directing their comments at Tang Wulin.
When the sun rises high, the opening ceremony begins
