Douluo Dragon King: The Hammer Nurtures All Things, Starting with Gu Yuena

"You two, father and daughter? You're getting into character way too fast!"

Are you really sure? At an age where you can barely handle your own problems, why would you want to clean up someone else's mess?

"Of course, I've already come up with a name, and I'll go register it in a few days."

"What if her biological parents come looking for her?"

"Her biological parents abandoned her; belated affection is worthless, even if they come knocking on my door, I won't give it to them!"

Upon hearing this, Mang Tian fell silent for a moment, then walked towards the office inside, saying, "Come with me."

Lin Jin, carrying Xiao Ying, obediently followed him into the room, and Mang Tian closed the door behind him.

"You said you wanted to find a powerful family to support you?"

"You came to find me! Does that mean you want to join the Blacksmith's Guild?"

"It's not just about joining, but about wanting to be trained by the Blacksmith's Guild like me."

"Yes, teacher."

"But, not to discourage you, but your Blue Silver Grass martial soul, with its innate level one soul power, isn't good enough."

"So I chose to increase my bet."

"Hmm?" Mang Tian suddenly became interested. "You can raise the stakes?"

You've been with me for three years, don't I know how you are?

"At most, you have some divine power, but the Blacksmith's Guild can find plenty of people like you."

"So teacher, I'm ready to lay my cards on the table."

My martial soul is not Blue Silver Grass, but Metallic Blue Silver Grass.

My innate soul power is not just level one, but full innate soul power.

"Furthermore, I don't only have one martial soul; I have twin martial souls, and you've seen the other one before."

"What...what did you say?"

I can understand every single word you say, but when they're put together, something just doesn't feel right.

Kid, that's not how you brag!

Twin martial souls, innate full soul power?

"Another martial soul..." Mang Tian seemed to have thought of something, "That hammer of yours, it really is your martial soul?"

"Of course." Lin Jin smiled, and a flash of light appeared in his hand, instantly revealing a bright silver hammer in his left hand.

He held it in his hand behind his back, twirling it around his wrist, giving the impression of a light, delicate leaf.

Then, Lin Jin suddenly let go, and the hammer fell to the ground, creating a deep dent.

"Do you really think I was born with superhuman strength?"

"This hammer weighs 100 kilograms in your hands, but only 1 kilogram in mine. Of course I don't get tired when I'm hammering iron."

"Damn it! I've had a feeling something was off about you for a long time, but I've suspected everything except that this hammer is your martial spirit!"

Blue Silver Grass, a special hammer... You kid really have twin martial souls?

"Is it true that you were born with full soul power?"

"I already have twin martial souls, how could I not have innate full soul power?"

"That's right! Damn, I've really struck gold!"

Even in the slums, a golden phoenix can rise!

"Teacher, don't get so agitated. There's a saying on the Soul Guidance TV show that goes something like this, isn't there?"

The future is uncertain, and we are all but beasts of burden.

Now it's the era of the Federation. The major empires and continents have been integrated for countless generations. Who knows if my little orphan has any powerful bloodline among his ancestors?

That makes sense, doesn't it?

"That makes sense, quite reasonable."

"Xiao Jin, do you still remember me? I'm your teacher! Your own!" Mang Tian was extremely excited at this moment, putting his hands on Lin Jin's shoulders and shaking his body vigorously.

"Please don't do this, I'm scared..."

In short, don't worry, I will definitely not forget your kindness when I become successful in the future.

"That's good. Twin martial souls, innate full soul power, and the martial soul hammer has such a strange ability. You're simply born to forge iron!"

"Teacher, am I allowed to live off the Blacksmiths' Guild?"

"Yes! Absolutely! It's definitely possible!"

"However..." Mang Tian looked puzzled. "With these qualifications, you could simply join the Spirit Pagoda, and then joining the Blacksmith Guild wouldn't affect anything. Why did you..."

"I don't really like the Spirit Pagoda. I want to be like you and join the Blacksmith Guild instead of other factions."

After all, it's thanks to being able to take orders from the Blacksmith's Guild that I've survived all these years.

This kid knows how to be grateful.

A strange light flashed in Mang Tian's eyes, but a smile quickly spread across his lips.

"Don't worry, even if you don't have twin martial souls, even if you only have that martial soul hammer that's similar to the divine artifact Poseidon's Trident, you'll still receive special training from the Blacksmith Guild—especially since you haven't thought about joining any other forces."

"You'll definitely become a core member in the future, and when you rise to great heights, don't forget your teacher!"

I can't forget it, I can't forget it!

When will we expect to hear back?

"Teacher, look, I already have full innate soul power, so I need to acquire a soul spirit first, but I can't afford a hundred-year-old soul spirit..."

"Oh right, I forgot!"

"You are currently at full innate soul power, so why is the record only showing level one soul power?" Mang Tian asked, puzzled.

Lin Jin had already given his explanation: "Perhaps it's my Blue Silver Grass."

When I awakened the Blue Silver Grass, I only awakened level one of my soul power. But after returning home, my other martial soul also awakened, instantly maxing out my soul power.

"Delayed awakening? That's possible... You've really risen to prominence this time!"

With innate full soul power and twin martial souls, no one in the entire Douluo Federation has talent surpassing yours; at best, they are equal to you. You are undoubtedly the number one among the younger generation, a peerless prodigy!

"Oh, teacher, if you praise me like that, I'll get cocky..."

"Go ahead and float! If I had your talent, I'd be floating around like crazy by now!"

"Go out and get to work. The teacher will contact you soon."

"Huh? With this much talent, I still have to work?"

Even if you have a god-level martial soul, you still have to work!

A blacksmith is not made overnight, but through hammering away, one strike at a time!

If you want to become a master craftsman, or even a divine craftsman, you must lay a solid foundation!

"And you haven't been to work for three days, don't you have a good idea how many orders have piled up?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jin immediately curled his lip: "Isn't that what you really wanted..."

However, he wouldn't hesitate to make money from a pig-headed fool; he doesn't mind having too much money.

Moreover, what Mang Tian said makes sense. To become a top-notch blacksmith, one must work hard continuously; one cannot achieve it by simply thinking about it.

I'll just give Xiaoying some money for baby formula first.

After leaving the office, Lin Jin skillfully found his forging table, secured Xiao Ying to the furthest table to prevent her from running around, and placed cooling soul tools around her—after all, the temperature near the forging table was too high.

Then, Lin Jin skillfully summoned his extraordinary fertility hammer and began striking it: "Eighty! Eighty! Eighty!"

……

At that moment, Mang Tian glanced at Lin Jin, who was working outside, and immediately opened his soul communication device to make a phone call.

After a busy signal, the call connected, and a deep voice came through: "Xiao Tian, ​​what's wrong?"

Inside the East China Sea Forging Association, Mu Chen, with his strong arms exposed, held a red-hot forging hammer in one hand and a communicator in the other.

Standing next to him was a young girl dressed in a tight-fitting outfit with long black hair, who was constantly forging iron.

Mang Tian doesn't call him easily; when he does, it must be something important, so Mu Chen is extremely cautious.

Suppressing his excitement, Mang Tian slowly said, "Senior brother, I want to eat fish!"

……
