Tang Wulin looked up to look at the big hammer on the sign, before taking a big step into the Iron Clever Association. Even though he had only been here once before, he already liked this place.
After arriving at Eastsea City, this was the only place that felt familiar to him. It is also a place that gives him confidence.
Yun Xiaoling stood behind the front desk and looked at Tang Wulin as soon as he entered. In reality, he had been ordered by his superiors to specifically wait for Tang Wulin.
“Tang Wulin, you finally arrived.” Yun Xiaoling quickly walked over to Tang Wulin's side with a smile and curious eyes.
How could he not be curious about this man?
At the age of nine, he became a second rank blacksmith! How did he achieve this feat?
Reportedly, he has broken the headquarters record.
The record for the youngest first-ranked blacksmith in the Iron Clever Association is held by their current president with an eight-year-old record. However, the president had become a second rank blacksmith by the age of eleven. The president was two years slower than Tang Wulin!
The association greatly valued this child and had ordered employees to immediately take him up the tower once he arrived.
“Halo, Brother Xiao Ling.” Tang Wulin's memory was incredible, and he clearly remembered this older sister's name.
Yun Xiaoling smiled. “You are really tough. I heard you passed the second rank blacksmith examination. ”As Yun Xiaoling spoke, she bowed and stared straight at Tang Wulin's two beautiful eyes.
Tang Wulin's face flushed in embarrassment. “Cannot be. I'm just lucky. ”
Yun Xiaoling giggled. “You are still so young yet so simple? Come on now, I'll raise you. ”
“Thank you, brother.”
After getting into the soul elevator, Tang Wulin was surprised to see Yun Xiaoling push the button for the highest floor. “Sister Xiao Ling, where are we going?”
Yun Xiaoling smiled. “We will take your rating badge.”
The elevator climbed up quickly and when it reached the top floor, Tang Wulin's ears had yet to successfully adjust. However, he only shook his head a few times and was able to recover.
Tang Wulin was greeted by the wide view of the horizon as he stepped out of the elevator.
The walls were all made of glass, and at this height, he could see almost half of Eastsea City. A large number of skyscrapers were strewn across the city, like a steel forest. On the other hand, there was a large amount of plant cover, bringing vitality to the city.
Yun Xiaoling found a staff member. “I have to trouble you to tell the president that Tang Wulin is here.”
“Wulin, wait a minute here.” Yun Xiaoling took him to the sofa and sat him down.
Not too long after, a group of footsteps approached.
Chen was on the front line. Mu Chen had arrived very early that day but had not even stepped foot into his workshop, all for the sake of waiting for the boy who was able to give him such a great surprise.
Cen Yue was also in his office and following right behind him. If the others in the Iron Clever Association knew that these two figures had been waiting all day for a child, they would not even know what to think.
Right behind these two figures, it was precisely Mu Xi.
“President!” Yun Xiaoling stood up and greeted Mu Chen respectfully.
When Tang Wulin heard Yun Xiaoling call him President, he stood up and looked at Cen Yue.
Cen Yue walked to his side and said with a smile, “Wulin, this is the President of the Iron Clever Association, Mu Chen. He was also the most famous Saint Craftsman blacksmith in the continent. ”
Saint Craftsman's? Tang Wulin's eyes started to sparkle. Mang Tian had called the Saint Craftsman to him before. Only seventh and eighth rank blacksmiths could obtain the title of Saint Craftsman! He never expected to meet so soon.
This president doesn't even look much older than his own teacher. He's really tough. ‘Is that the Saint Craftsman badge he wears on his stomach? Eight stars? Eight-star Saint Craftsmen! ‘
“Halo, President.” Tang Wulin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
“This you?” An astonished voice came from Mu Xi, who was by Mu Chen's side. To Mu Xi, this was the person who had stolen all the limelight from her. In fact, this was the one who stole the limelight from all the blacksmiths of his generation.
Tang Wulin was slightly stunned to see him looking at Mu Xi. “What is this rich girl doing here?”
Mu Chen looked at his daughter in surprise. “Xi Xi, are you acquainted with each other?”
Mu Xi looked at Tang Wulin and said, “We don't know. But it looks like we entered the same academy. ”
Mu Chen smiled. “Tang Wulin, what class are you in Eastsea Academy?”
Tang Wulin said, “I entered the academy as a new student this year. I'm in first grade, fifth grade. ”
When he heard the two words ‘class five’, Mu Xi's expression immediately revealed a trace of contempt. Naturally, he knew what the fifth grade represented. It was a class filled with useless good things that could never become a Soul Grandmaster.
However, Mu Chen's attitude did not change when he heard what Tang Wulin's class was. “I heard from Cen Yue that you passed the second rank test. That's a truly remarkable achievement. You should know that you have set a new record in the Iron Clever Association. We truly feel that you deserve to be our successor! ”
Tang Wulin's little face turned red in embarrassment. He did not know how he should respond when faced with praise from others.
He took a moment to think before saying, “Uncle President, can I get the badge now and start taking on forging duties?”
Mu Chen laughed. “Of course you can.”
Cen Yue smiled. “President is waiting for you all day to give your badge personally.”
Yun Xiaoling had already walked over from the side, carrying a silver tray with a red cloth on it. And on the cloth, there's a badge.
The badge was hexagon-shaped, with a blue background, a protruding hammer and two white stars embedded in it.
Regardless of whether it was a mecha craftsman, a blacksmith, or even a technician, their rank badges all looked the same. The first and second rank badges all had blue backgrounds and white stars. Only in the third rank that there will be a change.
Mu Chen personally placed the badge on Tang Wulin's right breast. His smile disappeared and he turned serious. “From now on, you are a member of the Iron Clever Association. As a blacksmith, I hope that you will finish all your forging work in earnest. Use your soul to understand, and your life to gain enlightenment. True blacksmiths would not only forge metals, but they would also give birth to life.
Childbirth life? These two words are simple, but they can evoke even apathy. Combined with his understanding of Thousand Refinements, Tang Wulin felt as if a large door had been opened by a small crack for him.
Tang Wulin gently touched his badge and a simple chill caused an unprecedented sense of accomplishment to flare up within him. Eventually, he officially became a blacksmith.
“I want to compete with you!” Mu Xi suddenly interrupted from Mu Chen's side. An incredulous face looked at Tang Wulin. Only now did Tang Wulin notice that on his stomach, there was the same badge.
