Chapter Seventy-One: Hammer Training

e of attrition. You'll have no chance then. So, I think using your tenacious Blue Silver Grass as a whip would be a good choice. And once you gain your second spirit ring, who knows what kind of mutat...When it came to Gu Yue, Xie Xie couldn't help but deflate. Over the past week, he had sparred with her more than a few times. Although he was still unconvinced, he had to admit that he was no match for her at present. Gu Yue's control over the Six Elements was simply too unpredictable and varied, with no discernible pattern whatsoever. Coupled with the boost from her first Soul Skill, Elemental Tide, even if he exhausted his soul power, he wouldn't stand a chance against her.

Tang Wulin said: “Alright, it’s getting late, everyone meditate quickly. I’m going to see the teacher tomorrow, so I won’t be at the academy.”

The intermediate academy had one day off every week, which the students could arrange themselves. Tang Wulin hadn't been able to complete Long Tie's forging task all week, and he was starting to get anxious himself. Just as luck would have it, Meng also arrived, and he happened to go and finish the task as well.

Early second morning, after having breakfast Tang Wulin left the academy and headed straight for Meng's workshop.

Before he even stepped inside, he could hear the clinking and clanking sounds coming from within.

"Teacher!" Tang Wulin pushed open the door with his key and entered the forge. He saw Meng, who was busy working inside.

"Hmm, your spirit looks quite good. It seems you're really putting effort into your cultivation," said Mang with a glance at him.

Tang Wulin scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "But, forging..."

"With a wave of his hand, he said, 'You've already reached the stage of thousand temperings, which means you've entered another level. This isn't something that can be improved simply through practice. At your age, it's most important to focus on improving your soul power cultivation. So you're not wrong, but from now on, still come here for your weekly rest. Now, go change your clothes, and I'll teach you how to use the thousand tempering silver hammer properly. We'll finish the task you accepted this afternoon.'"

He simply couldn't bring himself to be cold towards this disciple. When he went to Master Cen Yue yesterday to get the disciple's contact number, he was pestered by him for ages. Even the president came personally to ask.

Although Donghai City isn't considered a high-ranking city on the entire continent, Mu Chen is one of the top ten Holy Craftsmen on the mainland. He isn't just renowned in the blacksmithing world; his fame extends across the entire continent. If it weren't for his deceased wife being from Donghai City, he would never have settled here.

Yesterday, even Mu Chen suggested that he could help Tang Wulin with his studies if needed. How could Meng not be surprised

However, in his eyes, Tang Wulin's current self-teaching was enough. He also had his own selfish motives. Now, handing Tang Wulin over to Mu Chen, who would be considered his teacher afterwards

This is also why Meng didn't let Tang Wulin display his thousand forging ability and directly apply for a Level 3 blacksmith.

Tang Wulin's talent in forging wasn't just about his divine power. While divine power was rare, it wasn't unheard of. But the true masters who could become top-tier blacksmiths relied on far more than just divine power.

The higher the blacksmith's level, the higher the requirements for comprehension and soul power. Because in the later stages of forging, it is simply impossible to complete without enough powerful soul power support. Mang suffered from this, otherwise, he would also have confidence in advancing to a Saint Artisan.

Tang Wulin's innate divine power made up for his current lack of soul power. More importantly, this child possessed extraordinary comprehension. He could almost enter a state of focus during every forging session, especially when he was tempering the Thousand Forged Silver, where he truly felt the life within the metal.

Remember, you could only occasionally enter this state when you became a level four blacksmith.

Needless to say, Tang Wulin possessed extraordinary talent in forging. Furthermore, he wasn't afraid of hardship. For three years, he diligently followed me, never slacking off. This laid a solid foundation for him. As such a good child, Mang wouldn't bear to just send him away like this.

Mo wants to cultivate Tang Wulin into a master-level blacksmith, allowing him to fully display his abilities. At that time, no one will be able to take his apprentice away.

After changing his clothes, Tang Wulin began to practice with the Qianjin Heavy Silver Hammer using ordinary metal.

At first, because of the hammering effect, he was a little clumsy. But after all, this was the hammer forged by him through the blood sacrifice method! After a period of time, he gradually became more familiar with the pair of hammers.

Just as the thousand-forged hammer shared a bloodline with him, this silver hammer forged with blood resonated with his soul. The feeling was extraordinary, beautiful and unforgettable.

When he was completely immersed in this state, the application of a thousand-forged silver hammer was no longer a problem.

Looking at his disciple hammering the metal, blow by blow, with such simplicity, and seeing the light in his eyes as he was immersed in the work, reflecting even the silvery glow of the hammer, Mang couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The child's brilliance, after a thousand forges, was finally beginning to show itself.

Not until dusk did Tang Wulin finish his practice, having honed the dragon iron with his skillfully crafted thousand-tempered silver hammer.

"Come on, let me go with you to the Smith's Guild to turn in your task. Then we'll pick up the second one. Finish it by next week's break, and then send it off." Mang instructed.

"Yes!" Tang Wulin hurriedly replied.

Mang's heart secretly thought, this way, with a week's buffer time, no one would suspect his forging ability.

The Blacksmith's Association in the late afternoon was much quieter than during the day. Meng, leading Tang Wulin directly to the second floor, submitted their task. After a specialized inspector from the association tested the finished product and paid them their reward.

20,000 Federal Coins. This was Tang Wulin's first time earning so much money at once. He handed the money to Meng, "Teacher, here you go."

"Māng shook his head, "Reaching the second-level blacksmith, in a way, you've already graduated. This is what you deserve."

"But, I still need your forge!"

A wry smile played on Máng's face. "Do you really think I care about these things Besides, your parents are both out of town on business trips recently, so you don't need to call home."

"Oh, okay."

Tucking away 20,000 Federation coins, Tang Wulin knew he was still far from his goal, but a sense of joy filled his heart. Labor brings wealth, labor brings honor; these were all earned through his own hard work.

After accepting another secondary mission, he and Mang left the association.

"Teacher, I'd like to treat you to a meal." Tang Wulin said with some excitement.

"Meng shook his head, "You go back to the academy for dinner. The master still has things to do. Remember to go to the master's place for forging every week. Every month, you have to make a thousand-forged finished product. The master will leave the materials there. A thousand-forged finished product will be your reward for using my studio."

"Good." Tang Wulin readily agreed."Okay" 。
