Douluo Continent: I, Tang Wulin, a Kamen Rider

Chapter 36 Black Big Strong!
What about muscles?
How can you hit irons without muscles!

What's the use of being so handsome?
It has to be a big, strong guy!
How effeminate!
What's the difference between this and the Southern Liang dynasty, which could only be ruled by the Northern Dynasties?
"Yes, Master Cen, hello. My teacher asked me to give you his regards!"

Tang Wulin, who had already been questioned many times because of his appearance, naturally didn't take Master Cen's doubts and envy to heart.

"With your delicate skin, it's obvious you don't have much strength. How could Mang Tian, ​​who's always been so arrogant, possibly accept you as a disciple!"

Master Cen frowned slightly, but still led him out of the office, and after a while, they appeared in a testing room.

Master Cen then gestured for him to fill in the basic information.

"Only... nine years old? Are you sure you're here to assess your blacksmithing level?"

Upon seeing Tang Wulin's basic information, Master Cen was stunned for a moment.

The members of the other studios also looked over in shock.

It's been many, many years since the Blacksmith Association last had a nine-year-old undergo a blacksmith assessment.

Historically, the youngest evaluator in the Blacksmiths' Association was eight years and six months old.

And that person, who now works on the 30th floor of the Blacksmiths' Association, is an unparalleled genius blacksmith.

The child in front of us is only nine years old. What does it mean if he can pass the blacksmith level test?
Cen Yue thought of more, because Tang Wulin had just said that Mang Tian had asked him to directly accept the mission.

This means that the child is likely a level 2 blacksmith, which is a record-breaking achievement!
The staff member said, "Master Cen, test room number three."

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Cen Yue picked up Tang Wulin's form. "Come with me." He wanted to see just how far Mang Tian's disciple could go.

Standing at the doorway between the two rooms, Master Cen said to Tang Wulin:
"There are fifteen kinds of metals inside. You can choose one to forge and purify. I will score you based on the metal you choose and the degree of purification. If your score is over sixty, you can be promoted to a first-level blacksmith!"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing Master Cen's instructions, Tang Wulin didn't waste any words and immediately began selecting metals.

"I choose this piece of sunken silver!"

A short while later, Tang Wulin came out carrying a piece of dark silver.

It is very large in both weight and density.

Upon seeing that Tang Wulin had chosen to use the Silver Ingot, Master Cen's eyes lit up.

It's very difficult to forge sunken silver, but I didn't expect him to choose it and bring it over so easily.

It seems that this delicate little guy in front of me is actually quite strong.

"You only have one hour. Within that hour, purify this piece of sunken silver as much as possible, and I will give you the corresponding points!"

"Yes!"

After hearing Master Cen's instructions, Tang Wulin went to his room.

Instead of taking out the thousand-forged tungsten steel hammer, he pulled out his own hammer.

bang bang bang...

Forging sounds, mysterious and rhythmic.

Just as Tang Wulin began forging, the soul-guided elevator on the third floor of the Forging Association opened, and two people stepped out.

He was a man around forty years old, with a dignified appearance, dressed in a gray, close-fitting outfit, and with a strong and imposing physique.

On the left side of his chest, there was a badge with eight stars, representing his professional level as level eight.

The golden hammer shape represents forging.

This is an eight-star master blacksmith.

A middle-aged man was accompanied by a girl who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old.

She is tall and beautiful, with bright, expressive eyes.

She has long, golden hair styled in a ponytail and wears a tight-fitting outfit that makes her look very neat and tidy.

"President!"

When the receptionist saw the two arrive, she quickly stood up, bowed, and greeted them.

"I brought Mu Xi here to take the Level 2 test. Please hire an evaluator!"

This eight-star master craftsman is none other than Mu Chen, the president of the East Sea City branch of the Sun and Moon Federation Blacksmith Association.

"Yes, President!"

After the receptionist answered, they went to prepare.

"Huh? What's that sound?"

Just then, Mu Chen's eyebrows twitched, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He captured a series of crisp, rapid tapping sounds. The rhythm, frequency, and sound of the tapping were all very pleasant to the ear.

"Is someone conducting a blacksmith level test for those at level four or above?"

Mu Chen looked at the staff member and asked.

"No!"

Mu Chen looked puzzled. As an eight-star master blacksmith, he could tell just by the sound of the hammering.

The blacksmith who was conducting the test was now entering a state of fusion with the metal.

The so-called fusion is when the blacksmith and the metal he forges resonate with each other and enter a wonderful state of fusion.

In such cases, high-quality products can often be forged.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Room Three, who is conducting the test?"

"President, the guy in room number three is named Tang Wulin. He was brought by Master Cen Yue and is currently undergoing testing!"

While they were wondering what was going on, the staff handed Tang Wulin's information to Mu Chen.

"Nine years old?"

Upon seeing his age, a glint of light flashed in Mu Chen's eyes.

Is it possible for a nine-year-old to achieve a state of fusion with metal?

“That’s right, we didn’t believe it at first either, but after confirming it several times, the boy is indeed only nine years old!”

"Nine years old? How is that possible!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen hadn't said anything yet, but Mu Xi, who was standing to the side, looked like she had been provoked and walked towards Room 3 with an incredulous expression.

Seeing this, Mu Chen had no choice but to follow.

"Xi'er, just watch from outside. Don't go in and disturb them," Mu Chen quickly called out.

Mu Xi simply snorted in response.

"Hmph, of course I know, but I want to see just how amazing this nine-year-old who dared to take the test really is!"

Driven by her resentment, Mu Xi arrived at Studio No. 3.

Upon seeing the young man forging inside, Mu Xi, who should have been somewhat displeased, instantly froze in place.

This guy
How can it be so beautiful!

As Tang Wulin swung his hammer in the studio, Mu Xi's cheeks flushed even more.

At this moment, Mu Chen also walked over, and after seeing the boy inside, he was also somewhat surprised.

"To be so young and already possess such skill, who is his teacher?"

Mu Chen looked at Cen Yue, who was also watching from the side.

Cen Yue didn't react at all until Mu Chen pushed him, at which point he came to his senses.

"Huh? What did you say, President?"

Seeing this, Mu Chen was speechless, but still repeated what he had just said.

Upon hearing this, Cen Yue's expression changed instantly, and his eyes snapped open.

He muttered to himself in a rather disgruntled tone:

"Good lad, no wonder Mang Tian said he was going to give me a surprise!"

"This guy, a disciple with such talent, is truly a wonderful surprise!"

Mu Chen frowned after hearing Cen Yue's words.

Because he didn't know the "Mangtian" that Cen Yue mentioned.

Meanwhile, seemingly noticing Mu Chen's confusion, Cen Yue took the initiative to explain the origins of Mang Tian.

"What? You're saying this kid's teacher is only a level six blacksmith?"

After listening, Mu Chen looked at Cen Yue with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"

Cen Yue responded with an "believe it or not" attitude.

Seeing this, Mu Chen was completely convinced that the exceptionally talented young man in front of him was indeed a wild genius with no background!
