Douluo Continent: I, Tang Wulin, a Kamen Rider

Chapter 125 The Succubus Was Actually Me?
If an upgrade is needed, a completely new set of battle armor can be forged, so it's just a single-word armor.

It doesn't need too many fancy features; the most basic effects are enough to meet the needs of Soul Masters.

However, the meteorite iron has an additional penetrating effect, so although it is not as good as others, it is practically invincible among one-word battle armors.

Soon, the forging was completed, and then a small, jet-black hammer appeared in Tang Wulin's hand.

Clang clang clang... Bang!

Meteorite iron has a very high density and is very difficult to forge.

But with Tang Wulin, it seemed like dough; when he hammered it, two marks immediately appeared on it.

Then Tang Wulin swung his hammer again, and the once unyielding meteorite iron began to change shape.

"How is this possible?"

Upon seeing this, Feng Wuyu immediately showed a shocked expression.

You know, when he first saw Tang Wulin, he thought he had the wrong person.

After all, he's a level 5 blacksmith, a man who spends his days wielding an iron hammer.

How could it be Tang Wulin, a delicate and pampered young master who never touches the ground?

But now, Feng Wuyu understands what it means to judge a book by its cover!

How can this power be so strong?

Among people of the same level, I doubt anyone could withstand a single punch from him.

Also, what is that little hammer? It's not a traditional forging hammer.

Could that be his martial spirit? But can something so small really support his full strength?
Tang Wulin ignored Feng Wuyu's inner shock and continued to forge his work.

The clear "clang" sound traveled through the hammer and resonated within the internal structure of the two pieces of meteorite iron.

And that is the effect of Spirit Forging.

A series of rhythmic forging sounds rang out as the hammer moved effortlessly in Tang Wulin's hands, a perfect match made in heaven.

The two pieces of meteorite iron shrank rapidly under his strike, gradually emitting a faint golden hue.

He quickly completed the thousand-fold purification process.

The roar of forging continued without pause.

Tang Wulin seemed to have inexhaustible strength, swinging the hammer at will and accurately smashing it onto the two pieces of meteorite iron.

Bang bang bang!
A moment later, two beams of golden light shot into the sky simultaneously from the two pieces of meteorite iron.

Through a thousand refinements, one achieves the highest level of mastery.

The golden light lasted for more than thirty seconds before gradually fading.

"Good, good, kid, you've passed. From now on, you're a member of our Shrek Blacksmith Association. It's decided then and there!"

Feng Wuyu picked up the two pieces of meteorite iron and examined them. The quality was quite good, exceeding the level of a thousand-times-forged first-grade iron.

If meteorite iron weren't incapable of giving life, this would already be a work of spirit forging.

"Okay, but shouldn't you tell me who you are first? I mean your real identity, of course."

Tang Wulin was short of a place to forge iron, and since there was one here, he agreed without hesitation.

"I am Feng Wuyu, the president of the Shrek Academy Blacksmith Association, an eighth-level Saint Craftsman. How about it, are you convinced?" Feng Wuyu said with a smug look on his face.

"I'm impressed."

"If you're convinced, hurry up and become my disciple. Considering you have some talent, I'll reluctantly accept you as my apprentice. Follow me from now on," Feng Wuyu said arrogantly.

Tang Wulin was speechless. "Senior Feng Wuyu, are you trying to fool a child? Why don't you find me someone my age with the same forging skill as me?"

When Feng Wuyu saw that his plan had been exposed, his face turned red. However, he was naturally red-faced and was not afraid that Tang Wulin would see through it.

Seeing this, he continued to mutter, "Good lad, you're smart enough. Well then, I won't play those tricks with you anymore."

"I am an eighth-level master craftsman, and also a high-ranking member of Shrek Academy. So if you become my disciple, the benefits will be beyond your imagination. So tell me, are you in or not?"

He decided that he would not resort to Cai Yue'er's methods again.

After all, he was a rough blacksmith, so being direct and straightforward was more in line with his personality.

Feng Wuyu believed that as long as he revealed his identity and interests, Tang Wulin would know what was good for him.

But what he didn't expect was.

"I'm sorry, I already have two teachers, so I can't become your student."

Seeing Tang Wulin refuse again, Feng Wuyu was also taken aback, and then quickly asked.

"There are two teachers now? Who are they?"

“Mang Tian and Mu Chen, one is my mentor and the other is an eighth-level master craftsman like you,” Tang Wulin answered truthfully.

Yes, because of Tang Wulin's extraordinary talent in forging.

Mu Chen went to Tang Wulin's hometown in person and then visited Tang Ziran, Lang Yue and her husband, and their teacher Mang Tian.

The text elaborates on Tang Wulin's forging talent and the benefits he can provide in the future, including connections, resources, and influence.

This finally convinced Tang Ziran, Lang Yue and her husband, and Mang Tian to agree, and through their persuasion, Tang Wulin agreed to become their disciple.

Feng Wuyu was also taken aback after hearing Tang Wulin's words.

“Mangtian? Never heard of him, but I do know that kid Mu Chen. I didn’t expect you to be his disciple. What kind of luck did that kid have to run into you?”

"But whatever, kid, since you already have two, you don't mind having one more, right?"

"After all, although I don't know the strength of your first teacher, I know that kid Mu Chen very well."

"He relied on external aids to advance to the Soul Douluo level, so it will be difficult for him to improve further in this lifetime."

"Without the cultivation level of a Title Douluo, not to mention whether he can stand up for you if something happens, as far as blacksmithing is concerned, his chances of becoming a master craftsman in this lifetime are pitifully small."

"But I'm different, look!"

As Feng Wuyu spoke, a faint red light emerged from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the scorching airflow made the entire room intensely hot.

Beneath his feet, rings of spirit energy rose up.

Purple, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!

Nine spirit rings, the last one being at the 100,000-year level.

In terms of spirit ring configuration, his strength is in no way inferior to that of Elder Cai, the dean of the outer academy.

After the spirit ring appeared, Feng Wuyu's body swelled up a bit, but he still maintained his original appearance, making it impossible to see what his spirit was.

This is the terrifying aspect of reaching the Title Douluo level, where one can freely control the form that their Martial Soul manifests.

"How about that? Pretty impressive, huh? With a teacher like me, you can roam freely in Douluo Continent. If anyone tries to bully you, I'll beat them to a pulp!"

Feng Wuyu said fiercely.

Looking at Feng Wuyu's serious expression, Tang Wulin was speechless.

This scene is so similar to Mu Chen's before.

One by one, they all wanted him to become their apprentice.

He acted as if he were a succubus in the blacksmithing world, and everyone who saw him wanted him to become their apprentice.

However, Mu Chen was alright; he didn't force the issue and spoke in a gentle and refined manner. Even the way he looked at him had a strangely kind quality.

It was as if the relationship between Tang Wulin and Mu Chen was even closer than that between an ordinary master and disciple.

But facing this...
He really didn't know what to say.

All that can be said is that Tang Wulin saw a faint resemblance to Xie Xie in Feng Wuyu.

"How about this, I'll ask my two teachers later, and if they agree, then I'll become your student?"

"As for our Blacksmith Association, I'll join it. Anyway, I'll be at our academy for a long time to come, so you won't have to worry about not seeing me, right?" Tang Wulin said after thinking for a while.

Seeing this, Feng Wuyu knew that Tang Wulin had relented, so he couldn't push him too hard for the time being.

Seeing this, he put away his martial spirit and said with a smile.

"Okay, but you're such a troublesome little guy. Even though Mu Chen and I are such great opportunities, you don't take them. You're really something else."

"But it's only natural for geniuses to have their own personality. They always say that I'm very individualistic, and the kind that only comes along once in a century, tsk tsk."

As he spoke, Feng Wuyu stroked his chin with a smug look on his face.

Tang Wulin: "."

Well, just like Xie Xie, he's a goofball!
"Then I'll be leaving now, but these two pieces of meteorite iron were made by me. Can I buy one of them?" Tang Wulin said, pointing to the two pieces of meteorite iron.

Upon seeing this, Feng Wuyu waved his hand.

"What are you buying? I've given you both. Take them, take them. I was just worried that you were just a talker who would waste things."

"As long as you can finish it, it's all yours. Anyway, our forging association doesn't lack these materials."

Seeing this, Tang Wulin nodded and left with the Star Meteorite Iron.

As soon as he stepped out of the forge, he saw Yuanen already waiting outside.

"Huh? Yuanen, when did you arrive? I was just about to look for you. I've already finished forging the Thousand Refinements Grade One item you requested."

Tang Wulin asked with a hint of surprise.

Unexpectedly, Yuanen didn't care about answering his question at all, and instead leaned closer to him.

With a gaze that Tang Wulin found inexplicable, she was scrutinizing his entire body.

After a while, Yuan En finally relaxed.

"It's good that you're not injured. It seems that Old Madman didn't do anything to you. By the way, congratulations on joining the Forging Association."

"From now on, you can use the association's forging station for free. However, you will have to prepare the rare metals yourself."

Seeing that Yuanen was only concerned about him, Tang Wulin finally relaxed. He had thought he had really encountered something...

Seeing this, Tang Wulin smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Xie. By the way, I haven't been to Shrek Academy's Forging Association yet. Could you take me there?"

Yuan En nodded.

"Okay, come with me."

Before long, the two arrived at the Forging Association.

Behind the window stood a young man, who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. He glanced at the badge on Tang Wulin's chest and said, "Elder Feng personally recruited you into the association?"

"Okay!" Tang Wulin nodded, then handed over the badge that Feng Wuyu had given him.

This is a five-star badge.

The man took a deep breath and stared at Tang Wulin in shock.

"Tang Wulin, male, born in Aolai City, member of the East Sea Forging Master Association, Level 55! Forging Master."

He couldn't continue reading from there; the photo projected by the machine looked exactly like the person in front of him.

Badges cannot be faked, and besides, there's no point in forging them at Shrek Academy. They'd be too easily exposed.

Level 5 Blacksmith?

Yuanen, standing next to Tang Wulin, also widened her eyes. She had come to Tang Wulin not just because of her forging needs.

More than anything, she just wanted to be with Tang Wulin.

However, what amazed her was that Tang Wulin was such a genius.

Level 5 professionals are rare, not only in freshman year but even in fourth year. It's not until sixth year that professionals of this level appear!

Tang Wulin, a freshman, has barely started school and hasn't even had a day of his secondary profession yet, and he's already almost graduating?
"Please keep this safe." The young man handed the badge back to Tang Wulin, his attitude noticeably more polite.

As a blacksmith, he understands the blacksmithing world better than Yuanen. A thirteen-year-old level five blacksmithing master means that he is an unprecedented talent!

It's very likely that the college made an exception and admitted him because of his exceptional ability to forge talent.

"Are you a work-study student?" the young man asked.

Tang Wulin nodded.

A look of realization dawned on the young man's face.

"Let me tell you about some of the benefits offered by our Forging Association. As a forging master, you don't need to pay any extra fees for using the forging table."

"From now on, you have your own private forging room, which is about 20 square meters in size. In addition, the association will provide you with ten standard-sized rare metals every month free of charge."

"You can enjoy a 20% discount on contribution points when you purchase any rare metals within the association. You can also take up a position within the association by completing tasks. When you accept forging commissions through the association, the association only charges 5% of the fee, and the rest is all yours."

"As long as you complete three tasks each month, the association will also give you a salary of 2,000 contribution points. Most importantly, if you encounter other problems in the academy, you can also apply for help from the association."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin nodded.

"Then take us to see my studio."

"Please wait a moment."

Before long, Tang Wulin and Yuanen were led to a room on the fifth floor.

"This is your studio access card. The studio is provided to you free of charge. You can come here anytime you need to purchase rare metals. The same goes for accepting quests. We will handle everything for you as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll bother you then."

After swiping open the door, Tang Wulin led Yuanen into the studio and then took out the two pieces of Star Meteorite Iron that were over a thousand-times-refined and of the highest grade.

"Here, these are the meteorite irons I just forged. Both are top-grade, forged a thousand times. What do you think of the quality?"

"If you've decided, tell me what type you want to forge, and I'll start forging it for you now."

Yuan En took the two pieces of metal and observed that their quality was indeed first-grade and of the highest quality, even exceeding that.

but.
"What's wrong, Yuanen? You don't seem very satisfied. I shouldn't have made any mistakes in forging."

Tang Wulin noticed the somewhat awkward expression on Yuan En's face and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Upon hearing this, Yuan En quickly waved his hand.

"I have no complaints. The quality of your forging is excellent. As for the type, I'd like to have a pair of gauntlets made, but meteorite iron doesn't seem to be quite suitable for my martial soul."

"Huh?" Tang Wulin looked at Yuan En in surprise.

Seeing this, Yuan En no longer hesitated and said directly, "My martial soul is the Titan Giant Ape, so once I use it, my size will increase, therefore..."

Seeing this, Tang Wulin understood.

"Your size has increased, huh? I see. It seems that meteorite iron is indeed not suitable for you. After all, only spirit-forged metal can grow with your size, while meteorite iron, although wondrous, does not support spirit forging."
