In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 16: Learning Forging, Breaking Through Level 10

After saying goodbye to Gers and Keith, Lin Hai took Mu Jiabao back to school.

They only have so much free time in the afternoon because their morning classes are over.

When they got back, no one else was in the school building; they probably went to have dinner.

Mu Jiabao consciously returned to his nest, sat cross-legged, and began meditating. Mu Jiabao knew about Lin Hai's self-discipline in cultivation and his tenacious spirit.

He was never as talented as Lin Hai, and now that Lin Hai is working so hard, he doesn't want to fall too far behind Lin Hai, so he's extremely motivated to cultivate.

It's just... I don't know how long this positive attitude can last.

Lin Hai glanced at Mu Jiabao, then looked away, pondering in his mind how to motivate Mu Jiabao to cultivate.

……

At night, Lin Hai took a small gold bean from his small storage room and left the school building.

Well, storage soul tools are extremely rare; they all came back carrying cloth bags today.

The darkness of night provided the best cover, and Lin Hai slowly made his way to a secluded place.

Under the moonlight, Lin Hai sat cross-legged and placed the little golden bean, which was the curled-up plate crystal, on the ground.

Lin Hai closed his eyes, focused his mind inward, and then an invisible force landed on the little golden bean.

The tightly curled-up little golden bean slowly unfolded and transformed into a slender golden needle.

Lin Hai opened his eyes, circulated his mental energy, and the slender golden needle slowly floated and flew to his front.

"Is this the extremely vicious hidden weapon, the Dragon Beard Needle?"

"Very good, ruthless enough, I like it."

Lin Hai's eyes darted around, and with a thought, the Dragon Beard Needle flew rapidly to his left.

They crawled into a tree.

Lin Hai ran over in a few steps.

Reach out and pry off that piece.

Well, although Lin Hai's mental strength is impressive, he hasn't reached the stage of being able to see through objects with his mind.

Sure enough, the dragon whisker needle curled up again, but because of the tree, it was bent, but not yet formed into a ball.

Lin Hai: That's really good! It truly is an essential tool for scheming against people!

At the same time, Lin Hai was also feeling emotional.

Heaven has been kind to me, Lin, at least allowing me to transmigrate with the superpowers from my previous life, and my mental strength far surpasses that of ordinary people.

……

The next day.

After attending the morning classes, Lin Hai did not choose to return to the school building to cultivate, but instead grabbed Mu Jiabao and rushed out of the school gate.

While Mu Jiabao was still in a daze, Lin Hai dragged him away.

Classmates: Are they in a hurry?

In a hurried and frantic journey, Lin Hai and Mu Jiabao arrived at their destination.

Lin Hai smiled slightly, while Mu Jiabao looked completely bewildered.

Mu Jiabao: Didn't I come here yesterday? Why are you here again today?

The foreman, a blacksmith, saw them arrive and came out as well.

"You're here?"

"Um!"

"Alright, let me formally introduce myself. I'm the manager here, my name is Karsai."

"Okay, Uncle Karsai, my name is Lin Hai."

"His name is Mu Jiabao."

"Okay, come in with me!"

Karsai walked ahead, and Lin Hai pulled Mu Jiabao along.

Walking in a daze, Mu Jiabao came to his senses.

She noticed the liveliness in Mu Jiabao's eyes, a change from the previous clear-eyed naiveté.

"Hey, our young master Mu is awake!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Jiabao turned his head and met Lin Hai's slightly mocking gaze. Mu Jiabao suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Mu Jiabao asked urgently, "Ah Hai, didn't we just arrive here yesterday? Why are we here again?"

"Again? No, no, no, I brought you here to cultivate!"

"What? Cultivation? Here?" Mu Jiabao exclaimed in surprise.

"uh-huh!"

Mu Jiabao looked around; those who weren't blacksmiths were still blacksmiths.

Mu Jiabao's tone was somewhat hesitant, "You...you wouldn't...want...to...forge...blacksmiths, would you?"

"So smart!" Lin Hai replied with an approving look.

"Hehehe!" Being praised for being smart was something Mu Jiabao had never experienced before. For a moment, he unconsciously scratched his head and chuckled.

"No, why would I come here to forge iron?" Mu Jiabao did not fall into Lin Hai's trap.

Lin Hai: Suddenly becoming smarter isn't a good thing! He's not so easy to fool anymore!

"Of course it's for your own good!"

"For my own good?" Mu Jiabao was deeply suspicious. This sentence didn't sound like it at all! There was a hidden meaning in his words!

"Hmm! Let me ask you, what is your martial soul?"

"Raging Flame Bear"

"What are its characteristics?"

"Strength and fire attribute damage!"

"Now look at this place again, what do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Jiabao lowered his head and pondered.

A moment later, he suddenly slammed his left hand into his right palm.

Under Lin Hai's expectant gaze, Mu Jiabao said, "I don't understand!"

Lin Hai was speechless: I thought he had a brain!

"I've told you about martial spirit mimicry cultivation, right?" Lin Hai suppressed his inner frustration.

"Um!"

"Now I'll guide you through martial soul mimicry training!"

After Lin Hai's reminder, Mu Jiabao finally realized what was going on. It seemed he wasn't stupid, he just didn't want to use his brain.

……

A short while later, Karsai led Lin Hai and Mu Jiabao to two work platforms, which were not tall and looked newly built.

"You two can stay here! The workload for the day isn't much; you can finish it at your current level."

"Hey! Ah Hai, you're with me too? I'm so touched, you really are my good brother!"

"Hehe, you're overthinking it. I'm only staying for a short time!"

Lin Hai: Hehe, the weapons made by Ban Jing won't take too long.

"Ah!" Mu Jiabao was about to cry again.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and cultivate. You can rest once you break through to level ten!"

"Really!" Mu Jiabao exclaimed with delight.

Lin Hai nodded: Hehe, you've had enough time to rest while acquiring the spirit ring!

And so, Lin Hai and Mu Jiabao began their apprenticeship at the forging workshop.

At first, neither of them knew how to forge iron; they just randomly banged around with their hammers. The other blacksmiths watched on the first day as well. Only by experiencing setbacks can newcomers better integrate what they learn later.

The next day, these masters began to teach the techniques.

Days passed, and for two consecutive weeks, Lin Hai and Mu Jiabao came here to study and cultivate without fail.

On this day, Lin Hai was forging iron when he suddenly felt something, so he put down his hammer and sat down to meditate.

The foreman, Karsai, was no ordinary man. Seeing this, he waved his hand in the air, and all the blacksmiths stopped what they were doing.

Fifteen minutes later, Lin Hai opened his eyes.

When he saw everyone staring at him, he paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and with gratitude in his eyes, he stood up and bowed to everyone.

Thank you everyone!

"Hehehe, it's nothing serious, alright, let's continue!" Karse said casually, then instructed everyone to continue.

Lin Hai remembered this kindness, after all, they could have easily ignored him and continued blacksmithing. Lin Hai made up his mind to find some good ore for them.
