Soul Land III: Legend of the Dragon King
Chapter 25 – Thousands Repair
“Did you see it? My first soul skill was the Knife Tip. I even spent an extra 10,000 Federal Coins to invite a Soul Master to help me choose this spirit soul! Since this spirit soul is also a blade, it directly complements my martial soul! My Knife Edge will conquer all! ”
Tang Wulin furrowed his brows, “Why are you so bullshit.”
Wan Yunchao glared at him, “At this moment you still say I'm full of nonsense? Since I fear I will hurt you, hurry up and admit defeat. I'll let you go this time. Otherwise, my Knife Edge will not spare you. ” As Wan Yunchao said this, he flicked his wrist and the tip of the blade shot towards the young tree trunk. It's as wide as a bowl, but it's still being cut down.
Tang Wulin looked at her with disdain, “Plants are also living beings, why did you cut the sapling for no reason?”
Wan Yunchao was about to open her mouth and reply when she saw the same thing, a white ring appeared around Tang Wulin's feet. Creeping after the vines Bluesilver Grass grew simultaneously from his palm.
The slender vines of the Bluesilver Grass did not directly attack Wan Yunchao. Their ends were instead suspended in the air around Tang Wulin. Moments later, an ear-piercing scream could be heard echoing from the small forest.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
“Aiyou! That hurts! Tang Wulin, you are shameless! If you have the ability to do so, come closer and fight me! ”
Pa! Pa! Pa!
“Aiyou! Aiyy! I surrender! Can I give up? How can you use your Bluesilver Grass in such a way? ”
When the two individuals left the forest, of the two, it was Wan Yunchao who looked the saddest. His entire body was filled with many lashes.
Tang Wulin was still unable to fully control his Bluesilver Grass. He spent those days looking for Na’er, to the point that he ignored some of his meditation. This did not affect the aspect of the whip from his control, when he used it to attack Wan Yunchao.
Both of them were still children, so they did not know any fighting techniques. That one-inch-thick Bluesilver Grass proved just how tenacious it was. Since Wan Yunchao's short blade and Knife Tip were unable to attack from a distance and he had no knowledge of other battle techniques, the result was obvious.
“Why? Why is it like this? With soul skills, I should be able to defeat you! ” Wan Yunchao yelled angrily at Tang Wulin who was currently supporting her.
Tang Wulin replied angrily, “Teacher Lin has already said it before; your martial soul is perfect for close combat. So it was very suitable for the path of agility attack system. However, you are very fat. How could you be agile? ”
Wan Yunchao had an uncertain expression on his face as he asked, “Then why when my Knife Tip tried to hack your Bluesilver Grass, it couldn't do it?”
Tang Wulin replied, “This is my Bluesilver Grass specialty; as long as my soul force is not depleted, you cannot hack into it. ”
Wan Yunchao looked up at the sky and shouted, “I WILL BE LESS HEAVY! I WILL BE AN AGILITY ASSAILANT! ”
“What will you eat tonight?”
“I think... .. it should be pork shoulder”.
After sending the lightly injured Wan Yunchao back home, Tang Wulin rushed to Mang Tian's workshop.
What surprised him was that Mang Tian was already waiting for him inside.
“Teacher.” Tang Wulin respectfully called out to Mang Tian. Ever since he knew that his teacher was an award-winning Soul Ancestor expert, he had even more respect for him.
Mang Tian nodded his head and asked, “So, have you graduated?”
Tang Wulin replied, “Yes. I have passed.”
Mang Tian then asked, “Do you have to go to Intermediate Soul Academy in Eastsea City?”
Mang Tian replied unenthusiastically, “Just because I love this place because its peace does not mean I will not leave this place. In fact, all of the jobs requested were from Eastsea City. Your blacksmith education cannot deteriorate. I also have a workshop in Eastsea City and I will give you your own blacksmith workshop. Every now and then, I'll visit you and give you some pointers. ”
Tang Wulin's heart felt a wave of warmth, “Teacher, you ..”
Mang Tian's fiery gaze glared at him. “Eastsea City is a really big city. Not like here. Before you leave, you must finish my test first. Otherwise, you don't have the qualifications to continue learning blacksmithing skills from me there! ”
“A test?” Tang Wulin looked at her blankly. “Teacher, what test?”
A ray of light shone in Mang Tian's eyes. Thousand Purifications!
Tang Wulin asked in surprise, “Teacher, you will finally teach me a Thousand Purifications?”
Mang Tian nodded his head. “You have fused with the spirit soul and your strength has increased considerably. You should be able to withstand Thousand Refinements. Completing one Thousand Refinements execution will be calculated the moment you pass my exam. ”
As he said those words, Mang Tian felt a strange feeling in his heart. He was still able to clearly remember that when he had just started practicing Thousand Refinements, he was already 15 years old and his soul power had surpassed 20th rank. Moreover, his martial soul was the Earth Hammer and was a person who possessed absolute physical strength. By completing Thousand Refinements at the age of 15, he was already seen as a talent in the world of blacksmithing.
Unfortunately…
“Teacher, can we start?” Tang Wulin's excited voice made Mang Tian come out of his memory.
“Wait a minute, I have to measure your strength first. These few days you have failed in many of your tasks. First, you are not focused on your work. Second, it seems like a problem has arisen with respect to your ability to control your power. ” Mang Tian had secretly observed his disciple and thus had determined the root of his disciple's problem.
Indeed, it was not only Mang Tian, but also Tang Wulin who realized that problems seemed to have arisen with regards to his physical strength.
That day, after he fused with the spirit soul, he tried to apply force through his arm and it produced a crack that echoed as his movement split through the air. His strength has indeed grown greatly.
In the end, because she was constantly looking for Na’er, along with the fact that she was still very depressed due to her departure, she did not pay attention to her body situation. Only when Mang Tian reminded him of that did he remember that there was such a problem that happened before everything that had happened!
So over the past few days, when he tried to forge a given task, he had failed several times because his strength was too strong.
Mang Tian brought Tang Wulin to his own workshop. Her workshop was much messier than Tang Wulin's workspace. In the huge pile of randomly scattered tools, Mang Tian managed to find a tool specifically designed to measure one's physical strength.
Strength Testing Equipment
Although the manufacture of such a tool is a simple act, it still takes a careful person to ensure that the tool can measure a person's strength accurately. This strength test tool is made using two parts. The bottom is a flat square base, while the top is a round cylindrical pole. Behind him was a two-meter-high iron pole, while inside was a long thin tube filled with mercury.
When the blacksmith wanted to test his strength, all he had to do was attack the metal pillar, at that moment, the mercury would rise according to the strength of the attack and thus measure its strength.
One had to use a 50kg blacksmith's hammer for testing; the strength test equipment would automatically reduce the excess force gained from the weight of the hammer.
Ever since Tang Wulin arrived at Mang Tian's workshop, he had been required to test his strength every year.
The first time he tested his strength, he could produce a force of 70kg. At that time he was only 7 years old. When he was 8 years old, this increased to 100kg! Although being able to produce this power was largely due to him constantly swinging the hammer as part of his job, it remained to be said that producing such power was staggering.
He had not tested his strength at the age of 9, so, today was the right day to do so.
First, start the test with your left hand. Mang Tian gave him the blacksmith's hammer which was necessary for strength testing.
