Douluo Dragon King: Martial Soul Spring and Autumn Cicada, Lord of Time

"Hey, what are you doing?"

With Tang Wulin pinning him down, Xie Xie twisted and turned, trying to break free, while constantly calling out for help.

"Of course I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

"This slap is a punishment for your arrogance!"

This slap is a lesson in how arrogant you are!

"That slap ended our roommate relationship!"

……

Upon hearing Xie Xie's words, Tang Wulin suddenly waved his hand and began to attack with both hands.

Faced with Tang Wulin's attack, Xie Xie initially managed to remain aloof, gritting his teeth and refusing to back down.

But soon, Xie Xie felt that his face had been swollen up by Tang Wulin, looking like a pig's head, and even his teeth were a little loose.

At this moment, he finally understood that if he did not beg for mercy and admit defeat, Tang Wulin in front of him might really keep slapping his face until it was swollen!

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! I give up!"

Thinking of this, Xie Xie finally spoke up and admitted defeat to Tang Wulin.

"Stop hitting, okay?"

"But you have to answer one question for me—"

Are you convinced now?

Looking down at Xie Xie beneath him, Tang Wulin grinned and asked domineeringly.

"I give up, I give up!"

Although in her heart she felt that she had underestimated Tang Wulin and failed to use her soul skill immediately, which was why she had fallen into Tang Wulin's trap.

But at this moment, I am at their mercy, like a fish on a chopping board. Even though I haven't completely given up in my heart, Xie Xie still quickly expressed his surrender.

"I won! Brother Tao, I didn't let you down, did I?"

Releasing Xie Xie, Tang Wulin excitedly ran to Zhao Tao and said, as if seeking praise.

"Wu Lin, well done! A clean and decisive victory!"

Looking at Tang Wulin, Zhao Tao smiled and patted him on the shoulder, encouraging him.

"Hmph, I'm not convinced!"

"I wasn't ready yet, and you, disregarding martial ethics, ambushed me with a soul skill!"

"Even if I lose, I won't accept it!"

"If I get serious, you're definitely no match for me!"

"If you're even a man, compete with me again!"

However, it is clear that Xie Xie's submission just now was merely a pragmatic move!

Although his face was already swollen, Xie Xie glared angrily at Tang Wulin and began to shout loudly again.

Clearly, he felt that he had underestimated his opponent, which was why he had fallen into their trap.

If he were to fall victim to this, how could Tang Wulin, a Soul Master with only level eleven Soul Power, possibly be a match for him?

"Alright, let's have another competition!"

"This time, I'll beat you until you submit!"

Looking at Xie Xie, Tang Wulin snorted coldly and responded.

"Okay, let's try again!"

Staring fiercely at Tang Wulin, Xie Xie stepped back into the Soul Arena and beckoned to Tang Wulin with his finger.

"Come on then, are you afraid of me?"

Rubbing his fists, Tang Wulin showed no fear and stepped onto the Soul Arena once again.

Soon, their battle resumed!

This time, Xie Xie dared not carry any burdens and directly activated his first soul skill, "Light Dragon Blade," unleashing a golden blade that slashed straight at Tang Wulin.

Faced with the attack, Tang Wulin remained calm and once again activated his "Entanglement" soul skill, summoning strands of blue silver grass vines to bind Xie Xie.

At the same time, Tang Wulin suddenly accelerated and pounced on Xie Xie again.

In mid-air, Xie Xie unleashed the Light Dragon Dagger, severing one Blue Silver Grass vine after another.

However, the Blue Silver Grass vines summoned by Tang Wulin were mutated and extremely tough.

Xie Xie's Light Dragon Blade had already exhausted its energy after severing only a dozen or so Blue Silver Grass vines.

The remaining blue silver grass vines then wrapped around Xie Xie's body once again.

At the same time, Tang Wulin rushed in front of Xie Xie, swung his fist, and smashed it directly into Xie Xie's stomach.

"Oh dear, I give up, I give up!"

Having learned his lesson from the last time, Xie Xie knew he couldn't break free from Tang Wulin's control, so he decisively admitted defeat.

After all, he didn't want to get beaten up by Tang Wulin again.

"Xie Xie, look at you, you can't even beat my underlings, yet you want to challenge me? Tell me, do you even deserve it?"

Just then, Zhao Tao looked at Xie Xie with a mocking expression in his eyes.

"Hmph, you guys are pretty good!"

"However, I haven't lost, and I'll be back!"

Upon hearing Zhao Tao's words, Xie Xie's eyes flashed with intense discomfort. He glared fiercely at Zhao Tao and Tang Wulin before turning and leaving.

"Brother Tao, next, I need to go to the Forging Association to take the forging master level exam!"

Just then, Tang Wulin jogged over to Zhao Tao and reported to his superior.

"Great! I also need to take my blacksmithing level exam, let's go together!"

Upon hearing Tang Wulin's words, Zhao Tao smiled slightly and replied.

"Brother Tao, are you a blacksmith too?"

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Tang Wulin's eyes, and he asked.

After all, Zhao Tao had never mentioned his side job when he was at Hongshan College.

"certainly!"

Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Zhao Tao smiled slightly.

As a reborn individual, he can be described as an all-rounder!

Whether it's forging, or the three secondary professions of mecha design, manufacturing, and maintenance.

Zhao Tao's level has reached level nine in all areas!

It's just that due to the limitations of soul power, it cannot be used for the time being.

As for why forging level needs to be assessed, it's quite simple.

Because the three major secondary professions involving mecha are generally courses taught only in advanced soul master academies.

Forging, on the other hand, is a more down-to-earth industry and is less likely to arouse suspicion.

"Alright, Brother Tao, let's set off together!"

Upon hearing Zhao Tao's words, Tang Wulin spoke somewhat urgently.

"certainly!"

Nodding, Zhao Tao led Tang Wulin toward the Blacksmith Association in Donghai City.

"By the way, Brother Tao, what's your forging level?"

As they walked, Tang Wulin asked Zhao Tao questions out of curiosity.

Although he was far inferior to Zhao Tao in terms of soul power and cultivation speed.

However, Tang Wulin felt that with the added strength, he was definitely stronger than Zhao Tao in forging.

I'm finally thinking that there's something I can do to surpass Brother Tao.

A faint smile involuntarily appeared on Tang Wulin's lips.

Normally, it's Brother Tao who protects me.

Perhaps, in terms of forging, I can help Brother Tao properly and repay his kindness.

"A year ago, you had just broken through to level three. What about you, Wu Lin?"

Upon hearing Tang Wulin's words, Zhao Tao smiled slightly and responded.

"Wow, Brother Tao is amazing! I came here to take the Level 2 Blacksmith exam, but I'm still a long way from Brother Tao!"

Upon hearing Zhao Tao's words, the slight pride in Tang Wulin's heart vanished instantly.

Although he did complete his first thousand-forged work, it was mostly due to luck, and his success rate was far from sufficient. He might not be able to pass the assessment of a third-level forging master.

Unexpectedly, Brother Tao broke through to the Forging Master level a year ago!

Thinking of this, Tang Wulin immediately felt ashamed of himself, and his respect and admiration for Zhao Tao reached a new level!

They chatted all the way.

Zhao Tao and Tang Wulin had already arrived at the Forging Masters Association.

This is a 30-story gray building with a huge hammer pattern on it.

Zhao Tao led Tang Wulin through the gates of the Forging Masters Association.
