Douluo Continent: Conflict descends, gods are slain and gods ascend!

"President Mu Chen." Seeing Mu Chen suddenly barge in, Yun Chen stopped what he was doing and greeted him.

"Dad, why are you here?" Mu Xi asked her father in surprise.

Tang Wulin, who had been interrupted from his moment of enlightenment, stood there somewhat bewildered. But upon hearing Yun Chen and Mu Xi's voices, he immediately snapped out of it, bowed to Mu Chen, and greeted him, "Hello, Uncle."

His calling him "uncle" startled Yun Chen and the other two. However, Mu Chen didn't take it to heart since Tang Wulin was still young.

"Xiao Xi, are you exchanging forging experiences?" Mu Chen asked.

"Yes," Mu Xi replied, "Didn't they say some important people were coming today? I thought I'd bring them along to broaden their horizons. Besides, they're both Level 2 Blacksmiths, and they're not even ten years old!"

Mu Chen nodded. As the president of the East Sea Forging Masters Association, he knew about Yun Chen and Tang Wulin's situation. However, he had been busy with the backlog of forging orders and hadn't had a chance to meet with them.

"You all have great talent. It's a blessing that the future of blacksmiths rests on your shoulders!" Mu Chen said with emotion.

"Really? I thought I wasn't that talented." Yun Chen shrugged.

Mu Xi raised her hand and punched Yun Chen in an annoyance: "You're not even ten years old yet and you've already caught up with me, and you still say you're not talented?"

"Uh..." Yun Chen was a little speechless: "Isn't this what you said, senior?"

"Ugh!" Mu Xi's cheeks flushed red. She then remembered that when Yun Chen completed the second level of forging, she was somewhat unconvinced and told him that his talent was only average and that there were many people in the association who were better than him.

Mu Xi never expected that a casual remark she made back then would be so clearly remembered by Yun Chen.

Yun Chen only just realized that Mu Xi had been fooling him. His gaze towards Mu Xi gradually turned mocking. Yun Chen decided in his heart that he would definitely make Mu Xi suffer a good beating later and make her remember the fear of not having enough pocket money.

"Hahaha!" Mu Chen laughed, as he knew his daughter's situation very well. He quickly sorted out the details between the two of them.

"Xiao Xi, you misjudged her this time." Mu Chen patted Mu Xi's shoulder to help her out of the predicament.

Then he turned to Yun Chen: "Little guy, do you know who your forging teacher is?"

"I learned forging from Master Zhang Mo, but he didn't accept me as his apprentice," Yun Chen said.

The blacksmith named Zhang Mo was found for Yun Chen by his father, but like the Soul Master who taught him the Body Forging Method, he didn't take him as a disciple. They were more like Yun Chen's tutors, the kind who did things for money.

"Oh? So it's him." Mu Chen responded, and some information about this blacksmith immediately surfaced in his mind.

Just as he was about to ask Yun Chen if he wanted to be his apprentice, the door to the forging room opened again.

"President, that person is almost here." The person who arrived was Cen Yue from the East China Sea Forging Masters Association.

"Oh, Little Wu Lin, you're here too."

"Master Cen Yue." Tang Wulin responded immediately. During Yun Chen and Mu Chen's conversation, he had almost become invisible.

"You're here so quickly? Let's get things done then." Mu Chen replied, then called out, "Xiao Xi, and you two little ones too, come along."

After saying that, Mu Chen led the three of them to the elevator and headed directly to the top floor of the Forging Masters Association.

Not long after they arrived on the rooftop, a sleek, red mecha landed there. Mu Ye stepped out of the mecha and greeted Mu Chen and the others who were there to greet him.

"You rascal, instead of staying by my senior brother's side to reap the benefits, why did you suddenly come here to me?" Mu Chen was quite familiar with Mu Ye, and immediately teased, "Let me tell you, I'm not a rich landlord, I don't have any money to spare for you."

"Don't even mention it." Makino waved his hand helplessly. "I was summoned here by a single sentence from an elder of the sect."

"Oh?" Mu Chen was surprised. Although the Body Sect had declined, that was only in terms of influence. But a sect that had existed for more than 10,000 years, even in decline, was still a starved camel, and its profound foundation should not be underestimated.

"Old Mu, you have to help me this time. My sect elder asked me to help test a child. I'll give you the information, could you help me find this person?" Mu Ye didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point: "After I've seen the child's condition, I have to rush back. Zhenhua is preparing to start forging recently, I have to go back and keep an eye on things."

"Okay, but let's go inside first. This isn't the place to talk," Mu Chen said.

Then, the group followed Mu Chen to his office. Originally, Yun Chen and Tang Wulin were planning to leave; they figured showing their faces was enough, and it wouldn't be appropriate for them to follow. But before entering the office, Mu Chen specifically called out to them, which is why they followed him in.

"Tell me, Mu Ye, what's the name of the person you're looking for?" Mu Chen asked.

"I'm looking for a little guy named Yun Chen. His martial soul is blood, and he should be studying at Donghai Academy right now," Mu Ye said.

As soon as he said this, the three little ones sitting next to him reacted immediately. Mu Xi and Tang Wulin turned to look at Yun Chen, who was sitting between them, and Yun Chen's surprise was obvious.

When Mu Ye appeared, Yun Chen was already considering whether to reveal his martial soul to see if he could attract Mu Ye's attention. To his surprise, the other party directly announced his name, which delighted him.

Their actions were also observed by Mu Chen and his group. Mu Ye asked in confusion, "Oh? You know this little guy named Yun Chen?"

"That's me," Yun Chen said, raising his hand.

"Huh?" Mu Ye was also taken aback. He hadn't expected that the purpose of his trip would be right in front of him. He had previously thought that these two little guys were Mu Xi's little follower.

Only then did Mu Ye take a closer look at Yun Chen: "Summon your martial spirit so I can see it."

Hearing Mu Ye's words, Yun Chen roughly guessed why he had come. He stood up, walked to Mu Ye, and activated his martial spirit.

The next instant, Yun Chen's restrained blood and qi power suddenly erupted. Mu Ye, standing in front of him, was slightly shocked.

Mu Ye gently patted Yun Chen's body a few times, and Yun Chen's blood and qi surged instantly. The faint blood energy surrounding him became much more solid.

"What a promising talent!" Makino exclaimed.
