Chapter Fifty-Eight: Creation of Life
ght! I was just about to tell you. Now that I'm going to the East Sea City to study, I won't be able to continue learning forging from you."Meng said faintly, "I only like the tranquility here, but it...This is the second update today, and there will be a third one too! Three updates in total. Happy New Year everyone.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raising his head to look at the iconic hammer, Tang Wulin strode into the blacksmith's association. Though he had only been here once, he already felt a fondness for the place.
After arriving in Donghai City, it was this place that helped him shed his strangeness and gave him confidence.
Yun Ling stood behind the front desk and immediately spotted Tang Wulin. In fact, she had been instructed to wait specifically for him.
"Tang Wulin, you're finally here." Yun Ling hurried to Tang Wulin's face, smiling at him, but her eyes held more curiosity.
How could she not be curious about this person
Nine years old! A second-grade blacksmith. How did he do it
According to reports, his age has broken the headquarters' record.
The youngest record for a First-Class Smith in the Blacksmith Association is held by the current president of the association at the age of eight, but he became a Second-Class Smith at the age of eleven. That's over two years later than this child.
The association placed particular importance on this child, instructing that as soon as he arrived, they were to be immediately taken upstairs.
"Lingling Sister, hello," Tang Wulin had a good memory and clearly remembered the name of this older sister.
Yun Ling laughed and said, “You’re truly amazing. Listen, you’ve passed the assessment for a level-two blacksmith.” As she spoke, she bent down and leaned close to Tang Wulin’s face, gazing seriously at this boy with beautiful big eyes.
Tang Wulin blushed slightly, a little embarrassed. "No, no, it was just luck."
Yun Ling let out a chuckle. "So you know how to be humble Come on, I'll take you up."
"Thank you, sister."
Tang Wulin was surprised to see Yun Ling pressing the button for the top floor as they boarded the Soul Guidance elevator. "Yun Ling sister, where are we going"
Yun Ling smiled faintly. "This is where you receive your rank badges."
The elevator ran very fast. When it reached the top floor, Tang Wulin felt a slight ringing in his ears and shook his head to recover.
Stepping out of the elevator, Tang Wulin's first view was a vast expanse.
All around are floor-to-ceiling glass windows, from here one could almost see half of the Donghai City. Within the city, skyscrapers stand tall, resembling a forest of steel. On one side, there are many green plants placed, adding a touch of vitality.
Yun Ling found a staff member, “Please inform the president that Tang Wulin is here.”
"Wulin, you wait here for a moment," Yunling brought him to the sofa beside them and had him sit down.
After a short while, some hurried footsteps sounded.
Mu Chen walked in the front, he came to the association early this morning, and didn't even forge in his own forge, just for Liao this companion who gave himself a shocking surprise.
Cen Yue was also in his office, waiting with him. If the blacksmith association people knew that these two had spent nearly a whole day waiting for a child, they wouldn't know what to think.
Following closely behind the two of them was Mu Xi.
This is a continuation of the previous response.
"President!" Yun Ling went up to him, respectfully bowing to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen smiled and nodded, the next moment, his gaze fell on Tang Wulin.
When Tang Wulin heard Yun Ling call the leader, he had already stood up. However, his gaze was fixed on Cen Yue.
Cen Yue walked to his side and smiled, "Wulin, this is Mu Chen, the head of our East Sea City Blacksmiths Association. He's also one of the most famous Saint Forge Masters in our Federation."
A master craftsman Tang Wulin's eyes lit up. He had heard Meng mention the title of Saint Craftsman before. Only seventh- and eighth-level blacksmiths could be called Saint Craftsmen! He didn't expect to see one so soon.
This會長 looks to be about the same age as my teacher, if not younger! He's incredibly talented. Is that badge on his chest a Saint Artisan insignia Eight stars, an eight-star Saint Artisan!
"Chairman, hello." Tang Wulin hurried a few steps forward and bowed respectfully.
"It's you" A surprised voice came from beside Mu Chen. It was Mu Xi who saw this fellow who had stolen the limelight from her, even snatching the limelight from all the younger generation of blacksmiths.
Tang Wulin saw Mu Xi was also slightly surprised. How could this rich family's senior sister be here
Mu Chen looked at his daughter in surprise, "Xi Xi, do you know each other"
Mu Xi looked at Tang Wulin and said, "I don't know him. But he seems to be from our school too."
Mu Chen smiled faintly, "Tang Wulin, what grade are you in at the East Sea Academy"
Tang Wulin said: "I am a freshman this year. I study in Class 5, Grade 1."
Hearing the words "Class Five", Mu Xi's eyes instantly flashed with a hint of disdain. Of course, she knew what Class Five represented. It was a group of people who couldn't even become mediocre Soul Masters, complete wastes.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Mu Chen didn't change his emotions because of Tang Wulin's class. "Hearing from Cen, last time you passed the second-level assessment, it's really remarkable. You know, this created a new record in our blacksmith association. It makes us all deeply feel that there are successors!"
Tang Wulin's face flushed slightly. He wasn't quite sure how to respond to Bei Rao's praise.
After some thought, he said, "Uncle Guild Master, can I get the badge and start taking on forging quests"
Mu Chen chuckled and said, "Of course."
Cen Yue smiled and said, "The chairman has been waiting for you all along, just to personally put the badge on you."
Beside her, Yun Ling had already brought over a tray. The tray had a red cloth lining and on top was a badge.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
The badge is presented as a hexagon, with a blue background and a hammer-shaped protrusion. It has two white stars inlaid on the top surface.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Whether they are mecha manufacturers, blacksmiths, or any other similar craftsmen, the appearance of their skill badges is roughly the same. The first and second-level badges are both blue with white stars, but things change at the third level.
Mu Chen personally placed the badge on Tang Wulin's left chest. His smile faded, and he said solemnly, “From now on, you are a member of our Smithing Association. As a smith, I hope you can seriously complete every piece of work, using your soul to feel, and your life to enlighten. True forging is not about hammering metal, but about creating life.”
"Creating life These four simple words gave Tang Wulin a feeling of shock and awe. Combined with his insights during the Thousand Forging process, it felt like a brand new door was creaking open before him. "
Lightly touching the badge, the coldness of the metal brought an unprecedented sense of accomplishment that ignited a fiery passion in Tang Wulin's heart. Finally, he was officially a blacksmith.
"I'm going to challenge you!" Mu Xi suddenly walked out from beside Mu Chen, looking at Tang Wulin with unconvinced eyes. This was when Tang Wulin noticed that on her chest, she also wore a badge exactly like his.behind it. 。"Strength assessment, exceeding 150,000 kilograms" 。The mech is 21% damaged. 。"Is this still a humanA large number of Star Dou Great Forest high-level officials had gathered on the towe...
