ed at Tang Wulin's big eyes up close with a shy expression as she softly said, "Thank you."Tang Wulin smiled back, and Li Chushui was taken aback. He felt as if his smile was filled with sunshine.Next...Wu Changkong said: "His martial soul was originally just the most ordinary Blue Silver Grass, and his spirit was very weak." 。But, his physical condition far surpasses that of an ordinary person. 。The reason I said I didn't know is because after his bloodline mutated, it had a reverse effect on his Martial Soul, instead of being influenced by it. 。What's even more peculiar is that his bloodline mutation seems to have nothing to do with his own martial soul. 。They are two completely different existences, but not twin spirits. 。This is the first time I've encountered this situation. 。"Should we bring him to the academy Have those old folks take a look, examine him" the white-haired woman asked with a smile. 。Wu Changkong's eyes narrowed, but he nodded resolutely without hesitation. "No" 。If they go to the academy, it must be because of their own abilities, not anything else. 。"

The white-haired woman let out a soft sigh, "You still hold a grudge against them Actually, back then..."

"No need to say more" 。I haven't held a grudge against anyone, if I had to say there was one, it would only be myself. 。Now I am just a walking dead. 。It's not that I'm afraid of death, but that I want to find a way for her to live. 。A twinge of pain flashed across Wu Changkong's eyes. 。"You are just too stubborn. " 。The gray-haired woman sighed. 。The Dancing Master's eyes returned to their icy coldness, "If that wasn't the case, would I still be me"The woman with white hair smiled, "Indeed! If that hadn't happened, you wouldn't be the one who made Long Bing fall in love, the White-Robed Blue Sword, the Heavenly Ice and Snow..." 。" Wu Changkong fell silent, gazing at the competition field. His eyes were distant and profound, as if countless memories were flickering and magnifying within their depths. 。After a long pause, he murmured, "Shen Yi" 。I went to see her the other day. 。The woman with white hair, Shen Yi, moved her eyes slightly, "Did you return to Tiandou Do you really not want to go back to the academy anymore Don't you know how heartbroken your teacher was when you left" A trace of pain flashed across Wu Changkong's eyes. 。I'm sorry, teacher. I'm ashamed to go back. 。"The few children you raised are for the future to be sent to the academy, handed over to the teachers, as compensation"Wu Changkong remained silent. 。Shen Yi let out a sigh, "You're wrong" 。Some things, no one can compensate for you. 。If you want to compensate, only you can. 。After all, you're still alive. 。It's time to come out too. 。Inside the stadium, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Gu Yue, and Xu Xiaoyan had arrived early. 。Because it's a group stage with a round-robin format, the time slots are divided more meticulously. 。Each group has its own competition time slot. 。Each group has nine teams. 。Every day, there will be one that is empty. 。In the first round, Tang Wulin and his team did not have a bye. Their opponent was the second-tier team from the Tianshui Junior Academy in Tianshui City. 。Like large cities such as Tianhaicheng and Donghai City, in the same group, they can send three competing teams. 。Tang Wulin and his team were just one of the teams sent out by the East Sea Academy. 。 。 Tenkai Academy can be said to be the strongest mid-level academy in the entire Tenkai Alliance. Therefore, even though they were facing only a second-tier team 。But undoubtedly, this team is also among the top contenders in the entire group. 。"Be adaptable and act according to the battle plan." 。“Tang Wulin whispered.” 。They have watched several games in the front, entered the knockout stage, and the opponent's strength is indeed different. 。Whether in terms of combat prowess or cultivation level, they are exceptionally formidable for their age. 。Gu Yue said, "Wulin, are you sure you're alright" He had been so badly injured yesterday after all. 。Tang Wulin smiled faintly, “It’s really fine, don’t worry.” 。 ” "Tang Wulin" 。At that moment 。Some unfamiliar voices caught the attention of several people. 。Tang Wulin turned his head and saw a white-haired old man and several middle-aged men walking towards him. 。The man in the lead, with his silver hair, was energetic and tall. 。A pair of palms looked particularly broad. 。He naturally exuded an aura of dominance, clearly someone accustomed to being in a position of power. 。"Hello, are you looking for me" Tang Wulin was certain that this person wasn't from the East Sea City team, and he had never met this old man before. 。"I heard you were injured in yesterday's competition, so you didn't come to participate in the last round of today's forging competition" The silver-haired elder walked up to him and stopped. 。This person is really tall, Tang Wulin isn't short for his age, but he only reaches the other person's belly button. 。"Yeah! Got hurt a little..." 。Because I was afraid it would affect my wound, I didn't compete. 。"Tang Wulin replied in a very ordinary manner." 。The silver-haired elder said, “I am Duan Xuan, the president of the Tianhai Blacksmith Association. You can call me Elder Duan.” 。Your forging talent is very good, it's a pity that you didn't participate in the final round this time. 。"

Tang Wulin was stunned, the head of the Heavenly Sea Forging Master Association

"Hello, Elder Duan" 。I'll try harder next time. 。Tang Wulin respectfully said: 。Dan Xuan smiled slightly and said, "That's right. Our Tianhai City currently has a series of talent introduction programs. After I saw your forging works, I think you are very talented." 。"I wonder if you have any thoughts about developing in our Tianhai City" "Recruitment Only then did Tang Wulin understand what the other party meant, "Elder Duan, this is probably not possible..." 。Tang Wulin quickly said: 。Although he had only been in the East Sea City for less than a year, he had already taken root and flourished there. Both Teacher Wu and Teacher Mu Chen treated him very well, and under their guidance, Tang Wulin's progress over the past year had been remarkable. 。He didn't want to move. 。Duan Xuan said: "Little guy, don't rush to refuse..." 。Why don't you first hear the old man's terms 。You should know that Tianhaicheng is the largest city in eastern mainland China, surpassing Donghaicheng in both political and economic standing. 。Whatever the East China Foundry Association can offer you, we can offer you as well. 。At the same time, we can guarantee that all forging learning expenses before you reach the Saint Craftsman level will be paid by the association. You should know how much it costs to forge a spirit when you impact the Spiritual Forging. 。Many blacksmiths waste too much time, energy, and money fighting at this stage. 。With your kind of talent, the Tianhai Association is willing to pay for you until you reach the Spirit Forging stage. 。At the same time, the Tianhai Blacksmith Association can also guarantee that in the future, it will help you raise your cultivation level to at least the Soul Emperor level. 。We have this foundation. 。"How about it" Gotta say, the conditions put forth by Old Duan are quite tempting. 。All costs for the Holy Artisan level cultivation and forging are provided, plus a guarantee of Soul Emperor level cultivation. 。This is a condition that any blacksmith would find hard to refuse, and Tang Wulin couldn't help but be excited. 。Agreeing to this request from Elder Duan means that the Tianhai Blacksmith Association will sponsor him to become a sixth-rank Zongjiao-level blacksmith. 。This has already attained a position of great importance in the forging industry. 。Thank you for your kindness 。Tang Wulin bowed to Elder Duan once more, "But, I can't" 。I already have a teacher. 。I am a member of the East China Forging Association. 。I am touched by your terms, but I cannot betray my own heart. 。Tang Wulin's words were polite, but his refusal was firm. 。Duan Xuan was taken aback, "Young fella, do you know how many resources and money it takes to back up my guarantee That would be astronomical for you." 。Even if you speak for yourself and have the best luck and skills, you'll probably still need to spend an extra ten years, or even more, to finish it. 。How many decades are there in a person's life If you miss the golden age, your chances of impacting master craftsmen in the future will be slim. 。I believe that what I give you, the East China Foundry Association cannot give. 。“ Grandpa Duan, thank you again,” 。But I really can't 。I know how precious what you can give me is. 。But, I already have a teacher, I can't betray my teacher. 。He said that with a great deal of conviction and speed. After finishing, he acted like a child who had done something wrong and bowed his head. 。Duanyan frowned, a middle-aged man beside him stepped forward, just about to say something, but was stopped by Duanyan's raised hand. 。The head of the Tianhai City Blacksmiths' Association sighed, "Poor child" 。Mu Chen's luck is really good. 。If one day, the Tohoku Swordsmiths' Association can no longer accommodate you, the doors of our Tianhai Swordsmiths' Association will always be open to you. 。"After saying that, Duan Xuan raised his hand and patted Tang Wulin's head, then turned and strode away. With his status and identity, he wouldn't pester someone who rejected him, of course. " 。Only after Duan Xuan had left did Tang Wulin finally let out a long breath. 。"The conditions seem pretty good, why don't you agree Are you not willing to part with us" Xie Xi asked with a mischievous grin. 。Tang Wulin smiled wryly: “It’s more than just good! It’s excellent!” 。You don't know, Lingdan is something that blacksmiths can only achieve when they reach level five, and it's also the most important threshold for blacksmiths. 。To forge something that transcends the extremely difficult, it takes a vast amount of precious and rare metals. 。Smithing failed, rare metal will be scrapped. 。The cost involved is self-evident. 。"(To be continued)" 。 ) 420/374999 。k plain and unadorned. 。But when the dishes started to arrive, Tang Wulin's eyes turned red. It wasn't from being touched, it was from excitement! The first dish was... a thousand-year old dragon tend...
