Chapter 195: The Blacksmiths
seeing is believing. Let's see for ourselves what level of strength the Sea Soul Beast has reached." 。Things are not something we can fight against. 。"Let's go!" Tang Wulin waved his hand, and everyo...Unlike Donghai City, Tianhai City is mountainous, so many buildings are built on the mountains. 。looks more layered and undulating 。Some skyscrapers are being built on the mountain, they really feel like going straight into the clouds. 。On the side of East Sea City, the team leader is an official from the Administrative Mansion. They have already been in contact with the Tianhai City side. 。Tang Wulin and his three teammates from Class Zero were the youngest participants among the Sea God candidates in this competition. 。Of course there's nothing good to focus on in the outside world. 。Just follow the crowd. 。They were taken to a luxurious hotel, which was very unique with half of the building in the sea. Every room had an ocean view. 。Gives a feeling of being able to embrace the ocean. 。Tang Wulin and Xie Xie are in one room, while Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan are in another. 。Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the Tianhai League's big match, and the draw ceremony will also be held. Afterwards, the competition will begin. 。This is what the dance master told them, simple as it gets. 。They were not instructed on how to handle the competition. 。"Ding dong" 。The doorbell rang. 。Tang Wulin hurried over and opened the door. Outside, standing proudly was a figure, it was Mu Xi 。"Come with me!" Mu Xi pulled Tang Wulin and walked out. 。Tang Wulin helplessly turned back to Xie Xie in the room and said, "Xie Xie, I'll go out with my senior sister for a while, and I'll be back later." 。"Go, go." 。Xie Xian was already lying in bed at this moment, closing his eyes in a very unrefined way. 。Along the way, he sat beside Master Wu Changkong, as if he could always feel the chill radiating from Master Wu. He really hadn't rested well at all. 。A wave of tiredness washes over me. 。I'm really tired now. 。"Senior Sister, please walk slowly" 。"What are we doing here" Tang Wulin said helplessly. 。"Meeting 。Mu Xi's answer was short. Turning a corner, she looked around to make sure no one was there. 。He then lifted his hand with malicious intent and twisted it playfully on Tang Wulin's delicate cheek. 。"Senior Sister!" Tang Wulin protested, waving his hand. 。"I think highly of you." 。Okay, we're here. 。As she spoke, Mu Xi pushed Tang Wulin into a room. 。There were already a dozen or so people in the room. 。Every person's chest bore the familiar emblem of a blacksmith, signifying their rank as a smith. 。The team leader of the Blacksmith Association who came to compete this time was an old acquaintance of Tang Wulin's, Master Cen Yue. 。Besides that 。All of them are young people, the oldest one is not over twenty-something years old. 。When Cen Yue saw Tang Wulin and Mu Xi enter, a smile instantly appeared on his face, which had been extremely serious before. 。"Wu Lin is here Come, let me introduce you. These are the rising stars of our Blacksmith Association." 。"Cen Yue introduced one by one to Tang Wulin the people in front of him." 。Among them, there were a few people that Tang Wulin paid special attention to. 。A young man who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, named Zheng Tianlin, and another man in his twenties, named Tang Wenhao 。These two people each have their own particularities. 。Zheng Tianlin had extraordinarily long arms, stretching down to his knees. 。wearing a badge of a third-level blacksmith on their chest 。Tang Wenhao's chest was adorned with a fourth-rank blacksmith badge. 。Besides Cen Yue, the other outstanding individuals in the room. 。Although Mu Xi is very talented, she is only a second-level blacksmith now, and her Thousand Forging technique is not yet stable. 。Mu Chen had very strict requirements for her and didn't allow her to take the third-level badge test. 。Once everyone is here, I'll continue. 。Everyone should know that our Donghai City hasn't achieved good results in the Tianhai League competition for a long time. 。While our Tohai Forging Association is an exception. 。Last year, the junior team achieved third place, and the youth team won first place. Wenhao, this time you will be participating in the adult group competition. 。We must continue to work hard and strive for greater honor for our East China Foundry Association. 。"Tang Wenhao has an ordinary appearance but a very strong physique. His small eyes hold a deep inner light, making him appear very calm and collected. 。Yes, teacher 。Only then did Tang Wulin realize that this was the direct disciple of Master Cen Yue. 。Cen Yue was obviously very satisfied with his disciple and smiled, "If you exert your normal strength, you are sure to achieve good results." 。" Cen Yue's gaze then landed on Zheng Tianlin, "Tianlin, your progress over the past two years has been very fast and stable 。
Unleash your full potential, and you're sure to achieve great results in the youth group.
I also hope you can make a breakthrough soon and advance to level four. 。"Yes, Master Cen." 。Zheng Tianlin nodded at Cen Yue, but his attitude wasn't particularly respectful. There was a hint of arrogance on his face, slightly condescending. 。Then Cen Yue's gaze finally fell on Tang Wulin and Mu Xi, "Lastly, it's the two of you little ones." 。If I had to say, among the adult group, youth group, and junior group, the one I'm most confident in is you guys. 。I think I don't need to say much more, do I 。If you all play your best, the championship is sure to come back to our Donghai City. 。I'm waiting to celebrate with you. 。As soon as these words were uttered, all the blacksmiths of the East China Sea Blacksmith Association turned their gazes toward him. 。As for Mu Xi, it's alright. But Tang Wulin is completely unfamiliar to them. 。The fact that Tang Wulin was a disciple of Mu Chen, the association's president, was kept strictly confidential within the association. The only ones who truly knew were Mu Chen himself and Cen Yue. 。At most, including Mu Xi, so the blacksmiths present didn't recognize him. 。Upon hearing such praise from the teacher, Tang Wenhao was slightly surprised. He looked over and nodded politely at Tang Wulin, who promptly returned the gesture. 。Zheng Tianlin laughed, "Mu Xi sister is almost level three, right In the junior group, she would definitely sweep through all her opponents, and the championship would be a sure thing." 。"
If it were in the past, she would have accepted such praise. After all, among the younger generation, she was indeed outstanding. However, with a monster-like kid standing right beside her now, how could she possibly accept this The other party was already at Level 4, and four years younger than herself >>>" 。Don't talk nonsense, I don't have a chance of winning the championship. 。Mu Xi hurriedly said 。Cheng Tianlin still thought she was being modest, and laughed heartily: "How could there be no confidence At your age, even reaching the second level is already extremely rare, let alone approaching the third level..." 。His eyes never looked towards Tang Wulin. 。Although Tang Wulin looked a bit taller than his peers, he wasn't particularly outstanding, at most just like a child of twelve or thirteen. 。Apart from Tang Wulin drawing attention because of Cen Yue's gaze, everyone else was almost like Zheng Tianlin, simply treating him as a background character. 。Tang Wulin didn't care at all, he didn't want to be the center of attention. 。"Máng Tiān had repeatedly reminded him that in the Blacksmiths' Association, he needed to be low-key and keep a low profile. Only then could he improve himself without being affected." 。As for Meng Tian's words, Tang Wulin had always believed them implicitly, let alone Mu Chen's reminder. 。So, for this blacksmithing competition, he was truly willing to let Mu Xi win the championship. After all, he could still get an extra second-place prize, why not
Cen Yue didn't comment on this much either. Protecting Tang Wulin was his top priority.
Mu Chen had already made arrangements beforehand. 。If Tang Wulin's growth rate wasn't so fast, to the point where he needed to be exposed to the forging world, Mu Chen wouldn't even let him participate in this competition. 。Tang Wulin didn't know that there was another reason for his participation this time, that was the quota. It was a quota to participate in higher-level competitions. At the level of a fourth-rank blacksmith, Tang Wulin already qualified. 。Cen Yue said: "Next, I'll give you a brief explanation of the rules for this competition." 。Let's talk about the young members first. Those who have finished speaking can go back first. 。He still prioritized Tang Wulin's needs, of course, in the eyes of other blacksmiths, Master Cen Yue was just taking care of Mu Xi. 。"The three groups of competitions are different. The junior group competition mainly tests the foundation of forging." 。Screening through assessments 。So the first round of assessment is called a screening, where you will undergo a hundred trials. As for what rare metal you'll be forging, no one knows – it's top secret. 。After the first round, the top sixty-four players will be selected to compete in the second round. 。The second round is all about free expression. The same metal, forged by you. 。The higher the forging level, the greater the number of points earned. 。And the third round is to forge the metal from your second-round forging into the specified shape. These three rounds, while they sound simple, require extraordinary feats to achieve a high ranking. 。Then, just do your best. 。If you finish in the top eight, the association will provide additional rewards. The rewards are even more significant for those who place in the top three. 。There is also an opportunity for representatives to participate in other competitions of the same age group. 。"So, I hope you can try your best to get as many spots as possible because the number of spots is not up to us. The top three winners will receive medals from the Heavenly Sea Alliance, which act as entry badges for forging into high-level realms.
