Chapter 115: Rejecting Temptation

Wu Changkong said: "His martial soul was originally just the most ordinary blue silver grass, and his spirit was also very weak"

。But, his physical condition was far superior to normal people. 。I said I didn't know because after his bloodline mutated, it affected his Martial Soul in reverse, instead of the other way around. 。What's even more peculiar is that his bloodline mutation seems to have nothing to do with his own Martial Soul. 。They are completely different existences, but not twin spirits. 。This situation is also the first time I've encountered. 。"Should we take him to the academy? Let those old folks take a look, have a look?" The white-haired woman asked with a smile. 。Wu Changkong's eyes narrowed, but he nodded resolutely without hesitation, "No" 。If they're going to the academy, it's because they earned their way in, not through any other means. 。The white-haired woman let out a soft sigh, “Do you still hold a grudge against them? Actually, the circumstances back then…” 。I haven't harbored any resentment towards anyone. If I had to say there was someone, it would only be myself. 。Now, I'm just a walking dead person. 。I'm not afraid of death, I just want to find a way for her to be born. 。A trace of pain flashed across Wu Changkong's eyes. 。“You're just too stubborn. ” 。"A woman with white hair sighed." 。The long dancer's eyes returned to their icy coldness, "If that weren't the case, would I still be me?" The white-haired woman laughed, "Indeed! If that weren't the case, you wouldn't be the one who made Long Bings heart flutter, the azure blue sword with a celestial frost." 。Wu Changkong fell silent, staring at the competition venue. His gaze was distant and profound, with countless memories flickering and magnifying in his eyes. 。After a long pause, he muttered: "Shen Yi" 。I went to see her the other day. 。“ Bai Fa woman Shen Yi's eyes moved slightly, "You went back to Tian Dou? You really don't ever want to go back to the academy? Do you know how heartbroken your teacher was after you left?" A trace of pain flashed across Wu Changkong's eyes. 。"I'm sorry, teacher. I have no face to go back." 。Shen Yi asked, "The children you've raised are meant to be sent to the academy and handed over to the teachers as compensation in the future, aren't they?"Wu Changkong remained silent. 。Shen Yi sighed, "You're wrong" 。

Some things, no one can compensate for you.

。

If you want to make amends, only you can do it.

。After all, you're still alive. 。It's time to step out now. 。Inside the stadium, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Gu Yue, and Xu Xiaoyan had arrived early. 。Because it is a group stage with a round robin format, the time allocation is more detailed. 。Each group has its own competition time slot. 。Each group has nine teams five. 。Every day there will be one that is an empty rotation. 。Tang Wulin and they did not have a bye in the first round. Their opponents were the second-string team from Tianhai Middle School of Tianhai City. 。Like large cities such as Tianhai City and Donghai City, in the same group, can send three competing teams. 。Tang Wulin and his team are just one of the teams sent out by the East Sea Academy. 。is also the youngest competing team <<< 。Tianhai Academy can be said to be the strongest mid-level academy in the entire Tianhai Alliance. Therefore, although they are only facing a second-tier team 。Undoubtedly, this team is also among the strongest in the entire group. 。"Adapt to circumstances, and act according to the battle plan." 。Tang Wulin whispered. 。They have watched several previous matches and entered the knockout stage. The strength of their opponents is indeed different. 。Whether in terms of combat ability or cultivation, they are quite formidable at their age. 。Gu Yue said, "Wulin, are you sure you're alright? He was seriously injured yesterday after all. 。Tang Wulin smiled slightly and said, “It's really okay, don't worry.” 。"

"Tang Wulin " 。At this time 。Some strange voices rang out, attracting the attention of several people. 。Tang Wulin turned his head and saw a white-haired old man and several middle-aged men walking towards him. 。The person at the very front, with silvery hair, was spirited and vigorous, standing tall and imposing. 。A pair of hands looked particularly thick. 。He naturally exudes an aura of power, clearly someone accustomed to being in a position of authority. 。"Hello, are you looking for me?" Tang Wulin was certain that this man wasn't from the East Sea City representative team, and he had never met this old man before. 。"I heard you were injured during yesterday's competition, so you didn't come to the final round of today's forging contest?" The silver-haired elder walked up to him before stopping. 。This person's build is so tall, Tang Wulin isn't short among his peers, but he's only up to his waist. 。"Yeah! I got hurt a bit." 。I didn't participate because I was worried about affecting the wound. 。Tang Wulin replied in a straightforward manner. 。The white-haired old man said: "I am Tianhai Smithing Association President Duan Xuan, you can call me Elder Duan." 。Your forging talent is very good, it's a pity you didn't participate in the last round this time. 。“

Tang Wulin was taken aback, the head of the Heavenly Sea Blacksmith Association?

"Hello, Elder Duan..." 。I'll try harder next time. 。Tang Wulin respectfully said: 。 Duan Xuan smiled faintly and said, "That's right. Our Tianhai City now has a series of talent introduction plans. I have seen your forging works and think you are very talented." 。"I wonder if you've considered developing in our Tianshui City?" Tang Wulin finally understood what the other party meant, "Elder Duan, I'm afraid this won't work..." 。"Tang Wulin hurriedly said" 。Although he had only been in the East Sea City for less than a year, he had already taken root there. Teacher Wu and Teacher Mu Chen were both very kind to him. Under their guidance, Tang Wulin's progress over the past year had been remarkable. 。He didn't want to move. 。Duan Xuan said: "Little fellow, don't rush to refuse..." 。How about you hear my terms first? 。You should know that Tianhai City is the largest city in eastern China, surpassing Donghai City both politically and economically. 。Everything that the East China Foundry Association can give you, we can give you. 。Meanwhile, we can guarantee that all forging learning expenses before you reach the Saint Artisan level will be paid by the association. You should know how much it costs to impact Spirit Forging. 。Many blacksmiths waste too much time, energy, and money fighting during this stage. 。With your talent like yours, the Tianhai Association is willing to pay for you until you reach the Spiritual Forging stage. 。At the same time, the Tianhai Blacksmith Association can guarantee that in the future, they will at least help you raise your cultivation level to the Soul Emperor level. 。We have this foundation. 。"How about it?" It has to be said, the conditions proposed by Old Duan are very tempting. 。All expenses for Saint Artisan-level cultivation and forging are provided, plus a guarantee of Soul Emperor-level cultivation. 。This is a condition that any blacksmith would find hard to refuse, and Tang Wulin couldn't help but feel excited. 。Agreeing to this old man's request means that the Tianhai Blacksmith Association will sponsor him to become a Level Six Master Craftsman. 。This holds a position of great importance in the forging industry. 。Thank you for your kindness. 。Tang Wulin once again bowed to Master Duan, “But, I can’t " 。I already have a teacher. 。I am a member of the Tokai Forging Association. 。Your terms touch my heart, but I cannot betray my own feelings. 。“Tang Wulin’s words were polite, but his refusal was very firm. 。Duan Xuan paused for a moment, "Young man, do you know how many resources and money it takes to back up my guarantee? That would probably be astronomical to you" 。Even if you're lucky and capable, relying solely on your own words, it will probably take an extra decade, or even more, to finish. 。How many decades are there in a person's life? If you miss the golden age, your future opportunity to impact a master craftsman will become slim. 。I believe that what I give you, the East China Forge Masters Association can't. 。"

Tang Wulin didn't hesitate at all and immediately said, "Elder Duan, thank you again " 。But I really can't 。I know how precious the things you can give me are. 。But I already have a teacher, I can't betray my teacher. 。He said this with great conviction and speed. After finishing, he seemed like a child who had done something wrong, lowering his head. 。 Duan Xuan frowned, a middle-aged man beside him stepped forward, just about to say something, but was stopped by Duan Xuan raising his hand. 。The head of the Tenghai City Blacksmiths Association sighed, “Good child” 。Mu Chen's luck is really good. 。If one day, the Tohoku Forging Guild can't accommodate you, the Tianhai Forging Guild's doors will always be open to you. 。"Having said that, Duan Xuan raised his hand to pat Tang Wulin's head and turned away with big strides. Given his status and position, of course he wouldn't dwell on a rejection." 。Not until Duan Xuan had left did Tang Wulin finally let out a breath. 。"The conditions seem pretty good, why don't you agree? Are you not willing to part with us?" Xie Xi asked with a mischievous grin. 。Tang Wulin chuckled bitterly: “How could it just be good? It’s simply fantastic!” 。You don't know, Spirit Forging is something that blacksmiths can only achieve at the fifth level, and it's also the most important threshold for a blacksmith. 。To overcome such formidable obstacles, a vast quantity of precious and rare metals would be required to forge the path. 。Failed to forge, rare metals will be scrapped. 。The cost involved is self-evident. 。(To be continued) 。Here is the English translation of the provided text:
