Zhen Hua said, “no matter what you have our support. However, you must understand that regardless if it’s the Tang Sect, some other force, or even us that wants to support you, I’m afraid nobody would make a move to help you if they know nothing about it. Do you understand this? We’re not merely being wise for our own protection, more importantly, we are responsible for more than just ourselves.”

“I understand.” Tang Wulin nodded.

Zhen Hua said, “If it was ten thousand years ago, many problems could have actually been solved by supreme individual strength alone. I’d advise you to work hard and raise your strength until you’re at least a Title Douluo. You might even want to cultivate until you’re a Limit Douluo before you think about restoring Shrek. However, with the advancements in soul technology, I’m afraid that even a Title Douluo isn’t invincible anymore. If it wasn’t as such, nobody could’ve destroyed the Shrek Academy. That’s also why the army’s stance is very important. You must gain as much military support as you can. At the same time, be careful of Spirit Pagoda. That Qiangu Dongfeng is an ambitious fellow. It can be said that the Qiangu Clan was the greatest benefactor after the Shrek Academy’s destruction. Spirit Pagoda also released black spirit souls and greatly reduced the price of artificial purple spirit souls. It is like the sun during high noon right now so it’s best to not risk going against them for the time being.”

Mu Chen stretched his limbs. “As for your forging, if you ever have the need, your uncle master and I will support you. I think you’re at the level where you can withstand a three-word battle armor now, right? Complete your three-word battle armor as soon as possible. There’s no need to push yourself when you’ve become a Title Douluo in the future. Let your uncle master forge a set of Heaven Refined metals for you to use for the moment. When you’re skilled enough, you can forge another set yourself.”

Zhen Hua could not help but felt insulted after hearing this. “What do you mean for the moment? Is my Heaven Refinement that bad?”

Mu Chen said with a scornful expression, “It is what it is. If you weren’t lucky back then, it would have been impossible for you to reach the level of Heaven Refinement.”

A pleasant feeling spread within Tang Wulin’s heart when he saw his teacher and uncle master bickering with each other. He had not felt such warmth in a very long time.

“Alright, let’s not talk about these things. Wulin, since you’re almost at rank-8 come forge one more time before you leave,” Zhen Hua said to Tang Wulin. Without a doubt, he wanted to give Tang Wulin some pointers.

Almost reaching rank-8 and actually stepping into rank-8 were two very different things. However, it was still a very important step. If he laid a firm foundation for his eighth rank, the probability of him becoming a Divine Craftsman in the future would be higher.

Although Tang Wulin was already a Saint Craftsman in his twenties, Mu Chen or Zhen Hua had never said that he would definitely become Divine Craftsman.

The rank of Divine Craftsman was a huge natural chasm for a Saint Craftsman. If one did not have exceptional luck, one would never make the leap no matter how hard one worked.

Mu Chen had been stuck at that stage for twenty years now and he had yet to achieve a breakthrough. Tang Wulin’s odds were much higher than his but nobody could guarantee that he would definitely reach those heights.

“Okay!”

Zhen Hua’s exclusive forging room was undoubtedly the best in the federation. It was completely isolated from the outside world. The sounds of the forging could only be heard inside the room. It was also of the best quality in terms of defensive properties.

Tang Wulin could readily say that this was his favorite place. The rare metals that lined the two walls were enough to make him drool. He had seen some of the rare metals that Zhen Hua possessed in pictures only. They were all rare treasures that were priceless. Only a Divine Craftsmen like Zhen Hua could own something like this.

Zhen Hua smiled when he saw Tang Wulin’s keen sparkling eyes. “If you can break through to the rank of a Divine Craftsman, everything I have here will be yours, my entire workshop. How does that sound?”

“Really?” Tang Wulin’s eyes lit up. As an experienced miser, obtaining such an amount of rare items was like having the heavens fall onto his lap. Moreover, these rare metals could not even be bought with money! Zhen Hua’s forging table was also made from Soul Refined metals. It was even coated with a layer of Heaven Refined metal. Even a Limit Douluo’s all-out attack might not be able to destroy it. For a low-rank blacksmith, forging on this forging table was no different from forging on an ordinary forging table. However, for a Saint Craftsman and above, their success rate could be raised by at least ten percent.”

Almost all of Zhen Hua’s Heaven Refined products were made here. The value of this forging workshop was unimaginable. It was not something that could be measured using money alone.

“Don’t fall for it. If he gave you everything here, it means that his responsibilities will also fall onto you. This belongs to the Blacksmith Association and is not his private property.” Mu Chen reminded Tang Wulin from the side.

Zhen Hua glared at him, feeling embarrassed and angered. “Why’re you such a blabbermouth? Since you don’t want it, are you not letting anyone else have it?”

Mu Chen smiled. “I’ve already acquired what I wanted the most. If you’ve made your choice already, you shouldn’t regret it.”

Zhen Hua bitterly smiled. “I’ve already regretted it for decades, but what good is it? We cannot turn back time. Also, even if I were to choose again, I think I’d make the same choice. That’s who I am so I can only sigh in despair.”

Tang Wulin scratched his head and said, “Uncle master, if I accept this forging workshop, does it mean that I’ll have to become the Blacksmith’s Association’s president?”

Zhen Hua smiled. “Why not? Don’t you think it’s about time your uncle master finds a successor for himself? I know that you have a lot on your plate, but don’t worry. I won’t bind you to our association. However, it’s still necessary for you to carry the title. After all, if you’re able to accept my workshop, you’ll have become Divine Craftsman already. The association needs a Divine Craftsman to lead it.”

“Okay, I’ll promise you.” Tang Wulin agreed to it without hesitation.

Mu Chen and Zhen Hua were slightly shocked. They knew Tang Wulin very well. Although he was young, he was definitely not a rash person when it came to business. Although Zhen Hua had many good things here, as a Saint Craftsman it was not impossible for Tang Wulin to gather these rare metals if he set his mind to it.

When Tang Wulin saw his teacher’s and uncle master’s shocked expressions, he revealed a smile. “I am who I am today because of the great guidance my teacher and uncle master gave me. It is also the fruit of the Blacksmith’s Association’s nurturing. If the association needs help in the future, how can I not offer it? As a disciple, I should help shoulder the worries of my teachers and seniors.”

Zhen Hua guffawed. “You’re a good man! Well said. Very good. Very good!”

However, Mu Chen softly sighed. “Wulin, you’ve truly grown up.”

Although he knew that Tang Wulin was speaking his heart, he also knew that with this move the Blacksmith’s Association would be tied together with Tang Wulin to a certain extent. If he wanted to start rebuilding Shrek in the future, how could the association not contribute its strength? It could be said that Tang Wulin with his forthright agreeing of the proposal was hitting two birds with one stone.

He had truly grown up. He was no longer pure.

Tang Wulin walked up to the forging table. “Uncle master, what metal should I forge?”

Even for the same Soul Refinement, if it was done on different metals the forging difficulty would also be starkly different.

Zhen Hua swung his arm. A piece of metal flew from the rack on the side and dropped onto the forging table.

“Use this. It’s yours if the forging goes well but If you fail to satisfy me, you’ll pay for the metal.”

Tang Wulin looked downward. He was instantly shocked after seeing the metal. He raised his head again and looked at Zhen Hua. “Uncle master, this...this is too precious.”

The metal presented before him on the forging table could rank in the top three among the hundreds of metals in this forging room in price alone. In terms of rarity, it would not be an exaggeration to say it was the rarest. More importantly, this rare metal was truly very useful to Tang Wulin.

He had already prepared the metals that he wanted to use for his three-word battle armor. All that was left for him was to merge them with his current two-word battle armor, remold it, and then inscribe the core array onto them.

The rare metal before him was most useful as a medium. It could raise the cohesion of any metal to the maximum degree. In other words, with the addition of this rare metal no matter the number of metals used to forge the alloy its harmony rate would be a hundred percent. Of course, the prerequisite was that the fuse forge must be successful.

Even so, it will greatly reduce the difficulty of the fuse forging.

The metal before him was light blue in color. There were golden thread-like objects within it. Golden thread in blue water, Metalwater Harmonizer. That was its name. It contained the attributes of metal and water element at the same time. It also perfectly harmonized the two elements.

It had a great affinity with other metals and could merge with any number of metals to become one with them. Due to its rarity, however, its value was much higher than most metals. That was why nobody was willing to let it become an alloy.
