THE LEGEND OF THE DRAGON KING
bab70s.

Didi's! Just as she lay on her bed, Tang Wulin's soul communicator beeped.

Tang Wulin had almost forgotten about this matter. As a Soul Master, he did not need to purchase soul electricity to recharge his batteries. He could use his soul power to defend it.

The communicator displays a specific number.

“Halo.” Tang Wulin received the call.

“What do you do?” A familiar voice is heard from the other side of the communicator. When she heard this voice, Tang Wulin immediately became alert and hurriedly sat down.

“Teacher.” The owner of the voice was Mang Tian.

“What's wrong with you? You haven't completed a second rank mission even after a full week? ” Mang Tian said roughly.

Tang Wulin hurriedly replied, “That's not the teacher. I've just been busy with my training and studies lately. I really don't have time to go to your workshop, but I have planned to go tomorrow – on my rest day. ”

Mang Tian was silent for a moment. “You're only in first class, yet you've been very busy?”

Tang Wulin explained the course of events he had gone through starting from his arrival. As he spoke to Mang Tian, both Zhou Zhangxi and Xie Xie tilted their heads towards Tang Wulin in search of gossip.

“En. Come tomorrow. I'm here now too. ”Mang Tian hung up after saying these last few words.

“Hei, Tang Wulin's. Didn't you say you didn't have money? How can you buy a soul communicator? ”Xie Xie asked sadly.

Tang Wulin replied, “This is part of the benefits I gained after I joined the association. I didn't buy it. I wouldn't be able to afford it if I didn't! ”

“Association? What association? ”Zhou Zhangxi asked curiously. Yun Xiao also turned his head from the side out of curiosity.

Needless to say, after a full week of physical training, everyone's body revealed a clear change. Since they were Soul Masters, their physical recovery speed was much faster than ordinary people. Ordinary people would be hard pressed to endure such a harsh practice, but for a Soul Master like them, most would recover after an entire night of meditation.

“Absolute Iron Association. My soul innate talent was not high enough, so I started learning how to forge at a young age. ”

Yun Xiao asked, “Does forging have anything to do with your ridiculous strength?”

Tang Wulin nodded.

Xie Xie said, “Smiths; the kind that purifies metals? ”

Tang Wulin nodded once more.

“En,” says Xie Xie, “Do well on this road and you will have a good future. I remember my father buying mecha core components that were once Thousand Refined once – seemed very expensive. How about you purify some metals for me after you reach Grandmaster rank? ”

Tang Wulin asked curiously, “You want to become Mecha Master?”

Xie Xie proudly replied, “Of course. I come from the famous Master Mecha family. It's only natural that I want to be like that too. ”

“Say, tell me. What was the real Master Mecha like? What qualifications should one meet? ”Zhou Zhangxi urged him with childish miracles that fit his age.

Xie Xie had become familiar with them these past few days, and no longer had the initial arrogant attitude. The atmosphere inside their room had now grown harmonious.

“After many years of development, Soul Mechas have changed from smaller frames to larger ones than in the modern era. Despite going through the cycle, their individual strength had increased by leaps and bounds. A powerful Mecha Master Mecha would be the same size as their body. Even with its small size, the amplification effect is huge. With the addition of fusion with the martial soul, one could become a super solider. Supposedly, the Mecha God Rank Mecha Masters were personally created by their own hands.

Tang Wulin said, “Then aren't all Master Rank Mecha Gods blacksmiths?”

Xie Xie rolled his eyes. “Of course not. When I say create, I mean that the Mecha Master personally writes the arrays into their mecha so that it is more compatible with them. Naturally, if they were also skilled in forging, then their compatibility rank would be higher. So, how high is your forging skill? ”

Tang Wulin hesitated for a moment, but he felt that he could not lie to his friends. He had already considered Xie Xie his friend since the day Xie Xie stood up for Mu Xi for him.

“I can barely finish Thousand Refinements,” Tang Wulin said.

Yun Xiao and Zhou Zhangxie did not have much knowledge about forging, but the noble Xie Xie was somewhat aware of the details of the field. He asked in surprise, “Did you say you've reached the rank of Grandmaster?”

Tang Wulin shook his head. “I haven't. I'm still a second-ranked blacksmith. ”

“Wow!” Yun Xiao cried with worry. Although he had little knowledge of forging, he still understood the rank of a profession like a blacksmith. “You are only nine years old but you have already reached the second rank in your trade?” It must be stated that second rank craftsmen are already able to provide for themselves and survive in their associations. They were all still children, but they understood that even if Tang Wulin's martial soul was merely the Blues Grass, as a second-rate craftsman, the situation was completely different.

There was a qualitative leap between a second rank craftsman and a third rank craftsman. Once one reached the third rank, they would step past the threshold between commoners and the upper classes. Moreover, once they reached the fifth rank, they would be considered as one of the elites of society, regardless of their trade. At that rank, they will receive the title “Master Craftsman”.

Xie Xies eyes turned around as he realized and wrapped his arms around Tang Wulin's neck. “Tang Wulin, we're brothers right?”

Sorrowfully Tang Wulin glanced at him. “With nothing to offer while hiding such malicious intentions, what are you doing? Just say it directly. ”

Xie Xie laughed mischievously, “I didn't do anything. How about you help me forge mecha components in the future? How about that? I'll definitely pay you the market price. ”

Tang Wulin suspiciously said, “What do you need me for? Can't you go to the Iron Clever Association and directly issue a request? That too at market price. ”

Xie Xie looked at him in astonishment. “It looks like you don't have a good understanding of the blacksmith industry yet! Do you think that just because a task is issued, it is guaranteed to be taken? There were very few blacksmiths at the Grandmaster rank and above, and people who were willing to Refine something were even fewer. Not just anyone can do the job. To replace all the old components for the Thousand Purified version for my father's mecha, it took no less than four years! And that was with the good relationship he had with the Iron Clever Association.

“You can Thousand Fix things now; in a few years, you will reach Grandmaster rank. If you become my personal blacksmith, then wouldn't I be able to obtain a full Thousand Refined mecha even faster? It was the symbol of a true noble. ”

After hearing him speak, Yun Xiao and Zhou Zhangxi's eyes shone.

Tang Wulin nodded helplessly. “Good. I will help you once I reach that rank. ”

“Good sister!” Xie Xie tightly hugged her before loudly declaring, “Starting today, Tang Wulin is under my protection, Xie Xie. Whoever dares to offend him will answer my Light Dragon dagger! ”

“Keke,” Yun Xiao coughed, “You must wait until you can defeat Gu Yue before saying such words.”
