- - If he couldn't bear to wash the fragrant tea last night, it would definitely ruin his stomach today. Unable to let go of the people and things of the past, it was inevitable that it would damage the happiness of the present.
Dragon Emperor Douluo, Tang Lingluo's famous quote.

On the other side, the upper bunk had been destroyed, while the lower bunk belonged to Zhou Zhangxi.
Tang Lingluo packed his things and placed them on the lower bunk. He then asked Tang Wulin to move to another lower bunk.
Then, he turned around and stared coldly at Zhou Zhangxi.
"Get up!" Zhou Zhangxi growled.
"Get lost!" Tang Lingluo said coldly.
" You…" Zhou Zhangxi was furious and was about to charge forward.
"Don't be rash. Have you forgotten what Dr. Long said just now? Don't you want to become a mecha master in the future?”Yun Xiao's voice drifted down from the top bunk.
Zhou Zhangxi's breathing was obviously a little hurried. Urge. Tang Lingluo raised his hands and quickly removed the broken upper bunk board. He threw it outside and the entire upper bunk was gone.
"This is it!" A voice came from outside. A middle-aged man who looked like a staff member of the academy walked in with a wooden board.
He glanced at the few teenagers in the room who had a strange atmosphere and chuckled." Sure! Fighting on the first day of school, you guys are promising! If you have the ability, continue fighting. Our wooden beds cost 10,000 Federation dollars each. If I break a few more, I'll get my bonus.”As he said that, he raised his hand and the wooden plank in his hand flew up and landed on the upper bunk. It fit perfectly without any deviation.
10,000 federal coins?
Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin widened their eyes in shock. This was just a wooden board!
"Teacher, can we not buy it or go out and buy it ourselves?”said Tang Wulin anxiously.
The teacher snorted." Do you think the academy is your home? Destroying public property was a serious crime in the academy. That's Tang Lingluo, right? The window, bed, and wall repairs cost 34,000 federal coins. Go to the administration office and pay the money as soon as possible.”
34,000 federal coins? Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin were dumbfounded when they heard the figure. The money he had earned from forging for three years was only thirty thousand federal coins! This was too expensive.
Zhou Zhangxi, who had been glaring at him, immediately climbed onto the upper bunk without saying a word after hearing the number.
Tang Lingluo was speechless. Sitting on the lower bunk, what should I do? 34,000 federal coins! That was 34,000 federal coins!
"My name is Xie Xie!" The arrogant young man stood in front of Tang Lingluo and said coolly.
"No need to thank me." Tang Lingluo replied subconsciously.
" No, no need to thank me…" Xie Xie's expression, which had always been cold, instantly crumbled. What did he mean by 'no need to thank you'?
"I'm saying that my name is Xie Xie."”
Tang Lingluo was shocked and looked up at him. In fact, he could already tell that this youth was the rich second-generation heir who took the bus on the soul train platform.
"What are you doing?" Tang Lingluo said coldly.
Xie Xie's eyes flickered with a cold light." Come with me to the outside of the academy. Let's fight!"”
At this moment, his heart was filled with humiliation. He couldn't understand how, with his strength, he could actually lose to a guy with a Bluesilver Grass martial soul. This guy's fist was so heavy that even his words were a little unclear. Since he was young, he had never been beaten up like this.
However, he couldn't ignore Long Hengxu's words. If there was a stain on the file, it would be very troublesome.
"Get lost!" Tang Lingluo said angrily. The words he had just said to Zhou Zhangxi were now directly applied to Xie Xie.
"What did you say?" Xie Xie's body instantly erupted with an ice-cold aura.
At this moment, Tang Wulin's eyes were spitting fire as he looked at him." Aren't you guys done bullying people? 34,000 dollars, do you know what 34,000 dollars means to our family? If you want to die, I'll beat you to death. At most, my brother and I won't go to this school.”
"Are you fussing over this?" Xie Xie was stunned. He had never had any concept of money. What was thirty-four thousand yuan?
" Thirty-four thousand federal coins is nothing to city people like you," Tang Lingluo said coldly." But to me, that's more than I can earn even after years of hard work." Don't provoke me again. Otherwise, I'll fight it out with you.”
Xie Xie's aura weakened a little as he watched Tang Lingluo's golden eyes gradually turn blood-red.
"I'll pay. Fight with me!" Xie Xie said coldly.
Tang Lingluo was stunned." You're paying?”
Xie Xie watched as the redness in his eyes disappeared in an instant and the surprise in his eyes. He was at a loss for words for a moment. This fellow…
"I'll pay!" Xie Xie said through gritted teeth.
"Alright!" Tang Lingluo was afraid that he would go back on his word, so he agreed immediately. That was 34,000 federal coins! "When do we fight?"
He could save 34,000 Federation coins by fighting once. Even if he was beaten up, it would be worth it. Moreover, Xie Xie was no match for him.
Xie Xie was displeased when he saw Tang Lingluo's eagerness.”With that, he turned around and walked out.
His face was so swollen that he had to get it treated first. Otherwise, what would he look like? When she left, she took out a towel from somewhere and wrapped it around her face.
As they watched him leave, Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin thought to themselves that these city dwellers were really rich.
Yun Xiao coughed." It's time for lunch." Tang Lingluo, Tang Wulin, are you coming?”
"Alright!" Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin nodded. They were already hungry.
Zhou Zhangxi also jumped down from the upper bunk. The unwillingness and anger on his face had faded a lot. His hostility towards Tang Lingluo had obviously decreased. The reason was simple. It was also because of the 34,000 Federation dollars.
Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin were not the only ones who were not wealthy. Zhou Zhangxi's family background was also very ordinary. When he heard the exorbitant sum of money for accompanying the singer, he was shocked. He was actually the one who started the whole thing, but Tang Lingluo did not ask him to pay for it. That alone made him have a better impression of Tang Lingluo.
Yun Xiao led the way while Tang Lingluo, Tang Wulin, and Zhou Zhangxi followed behind.
The intermediate division's cafeteria was in a small building next to the main teaching building. The building had three floors. The six grades of the intermediate division were given meals. The first and second grade students were on the first floor.
There were only tables and no chairs in the cafeteria. This was Eastsea Academy's rule. Students had to stand when eating to increase their sense of urgency.
The three windows were marked with the words A, B, and C. Through Yun Xiao's explanation, Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin learned that the third meal was completely free, the second meal was partially paid, and the first meal was fully paid.
Of course, comparatively, the ingredients of the first meal were also the best, followed by the second meal, and the third meal was just ordinary food.
The prompt board under the third meal said steamed buns.
Zhou Zhangxi glanced at Tang Lingluo." Tang Lingluo, the academy doesn't allow fighting. Let's compete and see who eats the most buns. Do you dare?"”
Tang Lingluo glanced at him." Are you sure you have enough buns?”
"Of course, the third meal is free to eat, and there's no limit to the supply. After all, we Spirit Masters have a bigger appetite than the average person."”
"What's there to compete in eating?" Tang Wulin asked from Tang Lingluo's side.”
"Whoever loses will have to clean up the entire dorm," Zhou Zhangxi said. If I lose, I'll wash all the dirty clothes for you. How about that?”
Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin let out a soft sigh and said in unison," I'm starving.”
The two brothers realized that they could eat more when they stood up than when they sat down.
There were already several circles of people surrounding them.
"These two fellows don't have big stomachs either. How can they eat so much? I remember that our academy's intermediate division's Steamed Bun record was forty-three. How many have these two guys eaten?"
"I ate fifty-four of the golden-eyed ones and fifty of the black-eyed ones. So powerful! Moreover, from the looks of it, they did not seem to be forcing themselves at all. That was a palm-sized bun! The size of the buns in the academy had never changed.”
Zhou Zhangxi was already dumbfounded. He had always thought that he could eat a lot, and after eating twenty buns, he was already extremely full.
This was pure meat stuffing. With vegetable soup.
The two brothers didn't just eat buns, he also drank soup. Eating five steamed buns and drinking a big mouthful of soup, he looked like he was enjoying himself.
The bun was indeed very delicious. It was a palm-sized bun with a meatball-like filling inside. When he bit into it, oil sizzled. It was really too delicious.
More importantly, he had enough!
"Everyone, please make way." After Tang Lingluo finished his 60th bun, he walked toward the third window.
Yun Xiao patted Zhou Zhangxi's shoulder." Let's go back and clean up." You can't eat either. I finally understand why he's stronger than you. This was called the law of conservation of energy. The more one ate, the greater their strength!”
Zhou Zhangxi looked dejected. Then, he saw Tang Lingluo bring another plate of 40 buns over.
When they were at home, Tang Ziran and Lang Yue had always had a headache over the problem of eating. These two children were simply too gluttonous. When Na 'er was still around, the three little fellows would even compete in eating.
Zhou Zhangxi's appetite was already considered to be very strong among his peers, but Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin were basically mutated.
Zhou Zhangxi heaved a long sigh as he looked at Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin." I never believed that a human could eat a cow. Now that I've seen your appetite today, I'm convinced. I'll go back and clean the dormitory first. You guys continue to break the record.”
"Yes, yes!" Tang Lingluo did not really care about winning or losing. To him, eating was more important.
In the end, the first place in the intermediate division's Steamed Bun record was fixed at eighty buns, with the addition of five bowls of vegetable soup. The second place, Tang Lingluo, was fixed at seventy-seven buns, with the addition of three bowls of vegetable soup.
When Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin walked out of the cafeteria with satisfaction, their backs were already covered in eyeballs.
Zhou Zhangxi was cleaning up when she returned to the dorm. Tang Lingluo did not ask him to do the laundry for her. Instead, she did it herself. Yun Xiao also started to help Zhou Zhangxi clean up. The atmosphere in the dormitory seemed to have become much more harmonious.
When they were almost done cleaning up, Xie Xie returned with a towel wrapped around his face. The swelling on his face had visibly subsided, but his complexion was still unsightly.
"Here you go!" He threw a paper bag to Tang Lingluo.
Tang Lingluo opened it and saw a wad of federal coins. Tang Wulin could not help but feel a little absent-minded as he looked at the large wad of money.
Back then, he spent three whole years earning thirty thousand Federation dollars in Glorybound City! But to these rich people, it was just a casual matter.
"School starts tomorrow. After school at night, come with me.”Xie Xie said coldly.
"Good!" Tang Lingluo agreed without hesitation.
"Xie Xie, forget it." In the future, everyone would be in the same dormitory for six years.”
Xie Xie glared at him coldly before lying down on his lower bunk.
"Wulin and I will be going out this afternoon. Is it okay?" Tang Ling and Luo Xiangyun asked.”
"School hasn't officially started today, so it's definitely fine!" But you must be back before lights out. Otherwise, you'll be punished."
Hearing the word punishment, the brothers 'hearts tightened. He was not afraid of punishment, but they were afraid of money.
"I will."
He washed his dirty clothes and quilt cover before he and Tang Wulin walked out. According to Mang Tian's instructions, they had to go to a certain place after arriving here. This place was called the Blacksmith's Association.
Mang Tian had even left him an address. It was Mang Tian's studio in Eastsea City. There was no one there, but there was a forging room for Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin to use.
Mang Tian told him that he needed to register with the Blacksmith's Association so that he could take on some jobs there. This was both work and training. Every month, Mang Tian would come back to check on his progress and teach him new forging knowledge.
After he accepted his fate and fused with the Little Grass Snake Starlight, Tang Lingluo placed more importance on forging than before. Especially after completing the Thousand Refinements, he realized that his future occupation was likely to be a blacksmith, just like his teacher. Therefore, he must not slack off and continue to work hard to learn forging. Moreover, forging could earn him money! To support the family. In the future, he still wanted to travel around the mainland and search for traces of Na 'er. All of this would require money.
He did not ask about the location of the Blacksmith's Association earlier because he did not want his classmates to know that he was a blacksmith.
Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin left the academy after they paid the fine at the administrative office.
The unfamiliar feeling of Eastsea City once again made Tang Wulin feel slightly depressed. Glorybound City was still the best. The entire city was very relaxed.
Although he did not know where the Blacksmith's Association was, he could still ask since he had a mouth under his nose. After a few rounds of questioning, he already knew the approximate location of the Blacksmith's Association.
The Eastsea Metropolis was huge, many times larger than Glorybound City. In order to save money, the two brothers walked toward the Blacksmith's Association.
Fortunately, the Blacksmith's Association was not too far away from Eastsea Academy, and they had a good lunch. After walking for half an hour, they arrived at their destination.
The Blacksmith's Association was easy to recognize. It was a gray building that was about thirty stories high. There was a huge hammer pattern on it. With this pattern, there was no need for a nameplate.
They walked through a glass door. In front of them was a glass wall that was ten meters tall. On the wall was a golden giant embossed that was at least eight meters tall.
Although the Blacksmith's Association was not as wealthy as the Mecha Craftsmen's Association, it was still an indispensable existence. The social status of a top-notch blacksmith was also extremely high. It was not even inferior to those mecha master craftsmen. Creating a top-notch mecha also required top-notch materials, and top-notch materials required top-notch forging masters to process.
The hall on the first floor was very empty. There were only two girls in gray professional attire at the front desk.
"Little brother. Brother, who are you looking for?" A sweet-looking young lady stood up and greeted them when she saw Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin walking toward them.
"My brother and I are here for the Blacksmith's Level Evaluation," Tang Lingluo said shyly.”
