"A hammer…"
"Where did you get that hammer?"
Xie Xie's face was filled with contemplation, and he couldn't help but express his surprise. He could sense that this hammer wasn't the other party's Martial Soul.
"Are you a blacksmith?"
For a moment, a bold thought flashed through his mind. Could it be that this person, who was only nine years old, was already a blacksmith?
"This isn't the one I use for forging."
"This one is specifically for beating people up."
Tang Wulin shook his head with a smile and calmly replied.
Ever since his brother had told him that he might encounter troublesome people in the future, he had made this Hundred Refined Silver Hammer.
The Hundred Refined Hammer was already enough for him to fight against those below the level of a Grand Soul Master, and even Grand Soul Masters themselves. Although its forging effectiveness might not keep up, its effectiveness in beating people was quite good.
For example, Zhou Changxi, who was right in front of him…
"So you really are a blacksmith?"
"But what exactly happened just now?"
Xie Xie's face was filled with astonishment, but he was still somewhat confused about the situation and asked softly.
"Well…"
"This is what happened."
It was Yun Xiao who snapped out of his earlier shock and, looking in Xie Xie's direction, explained what had transpired.
"…"
Xie Xie's eyes narrowed.
"So you're saying…"
"You knocked him out with a single hammer?"
Looking at Zhou Changxi, who was lying unconscious at the door, he couldn't help but marvel. Using a forging hammer to knock someone out was indeed a unique way of fighting!
He had initially thought Tang Wulin was a well-behaved and obedient boy, but he never expected him to be so powerful…
Without using any Soul Power, he had taken down a Soul Master of the Power Attack System. Xie Xie didn't think he could do that himself, and yet Tang Wulin, who was only at level 12, had managed it!?
Xie Xie's face was filled with amazement.
"Hahahaha, my brother told me that when you encounter unreasonable people, you should reason with them properly."
Tang Wulin smiled and glanced at the word "Reason" engraved on the hammer, speaking earnestly.
His brother had said it, so it couldn't be wrong.
"…"
Xie Xie remained silent, only nodding in response.
"Wu Lin."
"Are you talking about me?"
At that moment, a familiar voice rang out.
When Tang Wulin looked over, he saw Tang Luochuan's figure standing at the dormitory door, his eyes curiously examining Zhou Changxi.
"Brother."
"I just got into a fight."
Looking in his brother's direction, Tang Wulin's face showed a hint of embarrassment. Getting into a fight right after starting school—would his brother think he was being bad?
"That guy must have picked a fight with our Wu Lin, right?"
"He deserved it."
Tang Luochuan walked over, shaking his head with a smile. As a brother, he knew his younger brother best. How could he blame him?
On the contrary.
He was quite satisfied with his brother's attitude of reasoning with others when necessary. That way, he wouldn't be bullied!
"Nice to see you again, Xie Xie."
"I didn't expect you to be in the same dorm as Wu Lin."
Turning to Xie Xie, he greeted him warmly.
"Uh…"
"Hello."
Xie Xie nodded, still somewhat dazed from the earlier surprise.
"Wu Lin, is this…"
"Your brother?"
After carrying Zhou Changxi inside, Yun Xiao's thoughtful gaze fell on Tang Luochuan, and he couldn't help but ask. So this was the brother who had taught Wu Lin to "win people over with virtue."
Feeling that he was also an extraordinary and formidable person!
"Right."
"My brother is an incredibly powerful Soul Master."
Tang Wulin nodded seriously, then chuckled.
"Not that powerful."
Tang Luochuan smiled and shook his head.
"Hurry up and tidy your bed."
"Come find me in my dorm later, and we'll go eat together. Xie Xie, you can join us too."
Seeing that the other person hadn't finished packing yet, he didn't linger too long. After telling him to come find him later for dinner, he headed back to his dorm.
"I…"
"Can I join you too?"
Xie Xie was about to say something, but Tang Luochuan had already disappeared from sight, leaving no opportunity for him to speak.
"Wu Lin's brother is indeed extraordinary…"
"But is your Martial Soul really Blue Silver Grass? How do you have such explosive strength…"
After Tang Luochuan left, Yun Xiao couldn't help but ask, his mind filled with curiosity.
He had seen plenty of Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls before.
Back in elementary academy, there were quite a few people with this Martial Soul. Not only were they not particularly strong, but they were barely stronger than ordinary people.
Was this person really a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master?
"Huh?"
"Your Martial Soul…"
"Blue Silver Grass?"
Hearing this, Xie Xie's face was filled with shock, his mind reeling with astonishment.
He had never known what the other's Martial Soul was, only guessing it couldn't be very strong. Otherwise, he wouldn't still be at level 12 at this age. But with such strength, he had assumed it must be a Power Attack System Martial Soul.
But…
How could it possibly be Blue Silver Grass?
"Of course."
"It's the real deal—Blue Silver Grass."
Tang Wulin nodded, and as he spoke, a soft blade of grass appeared in his hand—it was indeed Blue Silver Grass.
Beside him, a hundred-year Soul Ring glowed brightly, clearly displaying his level 12 cultivation.
"Blue Silver Grass…"
"How can it be so strong?"
Xie Xie's face was full of curiosity as he couldn't help but ask.
Something's off, very off!
It's hard enough for a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul to become a Soul Master, let alone a Soul Master who's also a blacksmith.
"My situation is different."
"My brother's Martial Soul is a powerful dragon. Although I didn't inherit a dragon-type Martial Soul, I still gained a decent talent for strength."
"That's why I occasionally use a hammer."
Tang Wulin explained calmly, not finding it particularly noteworthy.
Although he hadn't inherited a powerful dragon-type Martial Soul, every time he dreamed of that giant dragon, he felt that perhaps there was a dragon within him too…
Just like his brother!
Maybe one day in the future, he could follow in his brother's footsteps and become an incredibly powerful Power Attack System Soul Master!
"No wonder you're a blacksmith…"
Xie Xie couldn't help but mutter.
He had heard from his father that Tang Wulin and Tang Luochuan's parents were no ordinary people. Though the specifics were unknown, his father was a level 7 Mecha Designer.
For someone like that to praise them…
"By the way, since you're a blacksmith."
"Can I ask you to forge things for me in the future?"
In the next moment, he thought of something, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Becoming a Mecha Designer was a given for him, born into a family of Mecha enthusiasts. And creating Mecha required a lot of materials. The person in front of him was undoubtedly a genius blacksmith!
"Hmm?"
"Of course."
Tang Wulin's eyes lit up. He could already complete the tasks of a third-level blacksmith, and it was time to get certified at the Blacksmith Association and start taking on jobs.
Earning money! Just the thought of it energized him. Although the person in front of him was the son of his father's friend, developing a client relationship in the future wouldn't be a bad idea.
"Can you tell me..."
"What level blacksmith you are?"
Xie Xie pondered for a moment before he couldn't help but ask.
He had a feeling...
That the other person wasn't just a simple first-level blacksmith.
"I haven't been assessed by the Blacksmith Association yet."
"But..."
"I can already complete third-level tasks."
Tang Wulin blinked and said seriously.
"How much?"
Xie Xie's eyes widened in surprise.
"Huh?"
"Third level, what's the matter..."
Tang Wulin looked a bit bewildered.
"If you think I'm not strong enough, you can also find my Brother. He's one level higher than me..."
"What—"
At this moment, Xie Xie's eyes were filled with astonishment.
They were the same age, how could the gap be so big!
