Don't frown when you've decided on a path, no matter how painful it is. You have to know that no matter how difficult it is, it's your own choice.
Dragon Emperor Douluo, Tang Lingluo's famous quote.
————————————————————————————————————————
Immersed in the world of stars, Tang Lingluo seemed to hear a lot of voices. These voices were small and soft, but they were everywhere.
The gentle starlight had a tenacious vitality. They were the largest number of stars in the universe, and they had existed for thousands of years.
Even the powerful soul beasts were on the verge of extinction, but the stars still covered the sky like tens of thousands of years ago.
With a faint understanding, Tang Lingluo could vaguely feel a tiny existence in the air silently surging into his body and merging into his still weak soul power. This fusion was not fast, and there were not many of them. However, he could feel that his soul power was gradually increasing in this fusion. Even if it was only a little increase, it was very stable and continuous.
After a long time, Tang Lingluo woke up from his meditation state naturally. His entire body felt refreshed, as if he was surrounded by countless stars.
However, he was soon shocked when he saw his father and Tang Wulin sitting not far away from him.
"Dad, why are you back so early?”Tang Lingluo looked at Tang Ziran in surprise.
"It's getting late. It's already dark." Tang Ziran smiled. You and Wulin have already learned meditation? It seemed that the teaching of Red Mountain Academy was quite good!”
"Yeah!" Tang Lingluo said excitedly. I seem to have learned it. Dad, I felt something small merge into my body just now, and then my soul power increased. Did I learn to meditate?”
Tang Ziran was shocked. He had mastered meditation in just one day? The state that his two sons were talking about was the most accurate way to meditate! This wasn't as simple as just teaching him well. Back then, he…
"Yes, you've already learned it. It seems that my son's comprehension is not bad!”Tang Ziran had never been stingy with his praises for his two sons. In his opinion, a child's growth should be accompanied by praise. To a child, confidence was far more important than anything else.
Tang Lingluo could not help but feel a little proud of his father's praise. However, before he could say anything else, Tang Ziran's expression turned serious.
"Son, I have something to ask you.”
Tang Lingluo rarely saw her father so serious, so she immediately restrained herself." What's wrong, Dad? I didn't do anything wrong! You said that a man should be brave and have the courage to fight against bad people.”
"There's nothing wrong with being brave, but courage needs to coexist with wisdom." When you knew that you couldn't save them safely, you should have asked for help instead of rushing forward yourself. If you hadn't shown your spirit to scare them away, you would have also been in danger. This was not bravery, but recklessness.”
Tang Lingluo thought about it seriously, then lowered his head and said,""Dad, I was wrong."
Only then did Tang Ziran smile again. As long as his son was willing to admit his mistake, it meant that he had truly realized his mistake.
"A man would never make the same mistake.”
"Yes." Tang Lingluo nodded.
"Alright, let's talk about the next question." Tang Ziran smiled.”
Tang Lingluo was surprised." There's another question?"”
Tang Ziran snorted." Of course. You're only six years old, and you already know how to bring girls home. What will happen when you grow up? Moreover, he was a hero who saved a damsel in distress. You're good!"
Tang Lingluo then remembered about Na 'er and quickly said,""Daddy, did Na 'er find her home?”
"Your mother brought her to the administrative office to check, but she couldn't find her registration." Tang Ziran shook his head.”
"Then what should we do?" Tang Wulin asked.”(Finally showing off his presence)
"Tell me, what should we do?" Tang Ziran asked.”
"Daddy, why don't we let her stay at our house?" Tang Lingluo thought for a moment and said.”Tang Wulin nodded in agreement.
Tang Ziran looked at him with a faint smile." In our house? Daddy and Mommy can't take care of three children!”
" I can take care of her," Tang Lingluo quickly said." I can take care of her after school."”
"Alright, let's eat first." Tang Ziran smiled.”
When they arrived at the living room, Tang Lingluo was pleasantly surprised to see Na 'er already sitting at the dining table. She still looked submissive.
"Na 'er!" Tang Lingluo called out and hopped to her side. He naturally held her fair hand.
"We can't find any records of this child, so we can only send him to the orphanage."”
"No! Mother. Let Na 'er stay." Tang Lingluo spread his arms and stood in front of Na 'er. Tang Wulin hastily said,"Don't send her to the orphanage. Can you keep her? At most, I'll eat less in the future.”
Na 'er raised her head and looked at Tang Lingluo in a daze. His small body was not tall, but when she saw him protecting her, Na 'er's eyes unconsciously reddened.
"Luoluo, you can't just make decisions for others." You have to ask Na 'er if she's willing to stay at our house or go to the orphanage!”
Tang Lingluo immediately turned around and looked at Na 'er."Na' er, stay at my place." My mom cooks really well, and my dad is really good too. You can stay with me. I will protect you. I've always wanted a sister. Can you stay and be my sister?”(F * ck! So you have a sister complex and a brother complex!!!）
"Yes." Na 'er actually took the initiative to nod her head this time.
"Oh yeah, that's great. I have a younger sister.”Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin immediately jumped up in joy.
The facts proved that the child's appetite was not something she could control. Even though Lang Yue had made extra food today, it was still not enough to satisfy the two big eaters. Yes, two. Not only did Tang Wulin's appetite increase, Na 'er's petite body seemed to be a bottomless pit. Her appetite was not much inferior to Tang Wulin's. The two of them had even eaten the lunch Lang Yue had prepared for Tang Ziran for the next day. They still looked a little hungry. Tang Xingyu was so shocked that he dropped his chopsticks. They watched the competition between the gluttons with their mouths agape.
There were only two rooms in the house. Na 'er could only stay with Tang Xingyu and Tang Wulin if she stayed. Tang Xingyu and Tang Wulin could only sleep on the same bed.
Na 'er seemed very tired and fell asleep very quickly.
"Dad, we're going to meditate." Tang Lingluo was very satisfied with the feeling of meditation. He could not wait to return to that feeling. He wanted to become a soul master and become powerful. Now, he had another reason to protect his sister.
"Wait a minute." Tang Ziran called out to Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin.
"What's wrong, Daddy?" The two brothers asked doubtfully.
Tang Ziran patted the chair beside him." Come, sit down. Daddy has something to discuss with you."”
"Oh." Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin sat down beside their father. They looked at his face in confusion.
"Son, I support your decision to become a soul master." Tang Ziran said. However, Dad said that you will face many difficulties, not only in your studies, but also in our family.”
"Every time a Spirit Master cultivates to an entire ten ranks, they need a spirit ring to complete the breakthrough. A long time ago, spirit rings could be obtained by hunting spirit beasts. However, after tens of thousands of years of research, it was discovered that spirit souls had more advantages than soul rings. Spirit souls above high-rank could also grow and could be artificially manufactured to a certain extent. A spirit soul is equivalent to a soul beast's spiritual existence. Different ranks of spirit souls can bestow a soul master with one or more soul rings. As for us ordinary people, there's only one way to obtain a spirit soul, and that is to purchase it from the Spirit Pagoda.”
"Dad doesn't have much ability, and his salary is meager. It's not bad to feed our family, but now there's Na 'er. As you can see, the two of you have big appetites. Therefore, when your soul power reaches rank-10, daddy will find it very difficult to save up enough money to buy you a random spirit soul of the lowest rank.”
"There are two ways to obtain a spirit soul from the Spirit Pagoda. The first method is for students with outstanding martial souls and fast cultivation speed to obtain their first spirit soul for free. However, it's clear that your Bluesilver Grass doesn't have the chance to do so. Therefore, there was only the second option. And Ling Luo's Star Forger Dragon King had this free opportunity to choose the first route.”
Tang Wulin could not help but be in a daze for a moment when he heard his father's words. He had never thought about this question before. A soul master must have a soul ring. A soul ring can be directly brought by a soul beast or obtained by fusing with a spirit soul. Spirit beasts were extremely rare now, and it was too difficult to obtain them. The only option left was to purchase a spirit soul.
A six-year-old child still had a very weak concept of money. However, the reality was right in front of him.
"Daddy, what should I do?" Tang Wulin asked doubtfully.
"That's all I can do." Tang Ziran smiled bitterly."I've been working hard for the past few years. I'll try my best to help you gather some when the time comes." However, you need to work hard on your own. Do you still remember your Uncle Mang Tian?”
"I remember! Didn't he come to our house before?”The image of a tall middle-aged man with a fierce appearance appeared in Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin's minds.
"Your Uncle Mang Tian is an outstanding blacksmith. Dad told him about our family's situation. He said that he could give you a chance to be an apprentice. Two hours a day. The first three months are for learning. After three months, if you can smith some simple things, you can earn some money.”
Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin's eyes lit up." We're willing, Dad. When can we start?”
Tang Ziran looked at them meaningfully and said,"Forging is a very difficult thing. Can you really do it?”
Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin nodded."I can do it! I'll save up my own money to buy a spirit soul."
Tang Ziran smiled." Alright, go ahead and give it a try. If you can't take it anymore, we won't go.”
"Alright, I'll do it. Dad, let's go meditate." With that, the two brothers ran out quickly.
Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin returned to their rooms. A drop of liquid fell on Tang Ziran's shoulder. Tang Ziran turned his head and saw his teary wife behind him.
"Ling Luo and Wulin are still so young. Why are you doing this? We should be able to save some money for his spirit soul if we live frugally.”Lang Yue was choked with sobs, but she had never disobeyed her husband's wishes, but this time…
Tang Ziran sighed softly,"It's truly too difficult to become a Spirit Master with a Bluesilver Grass martial soul. Forging is a craft. Although Luoluo and Linlin were young, these two children had strong personalities. Forging was not only about forging metals, but it was also a process of tempering himself. If they can really persevere, not only will they have a way to earn a living when they grow up, but they will also be able to temper their character. It will only be beneficial to them. You know our situation. I'm afraid that one day, we…Of course, if Luo Luo and Lin Lin can obtain Mang Tian's approval, that would be even better. His profession level is even higher than mine.”
The next morning, Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin bid farewell to their mother and Na 'er before leaving for school in high spirits.
After a night of meditation, he felt more and more intimate with the Star Forging Dragon King martial soul, so much so that he had a special sense of familiarity with the starry sky.
The soul master class did not study soul master knowledge every day. Instead, they had one day of soul master knowledge and one day of cultural studies. Today was the cultural class.
Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin were very smart. They listened attentively and were even praised by the teacher during the cultural class.
"Mom, why did you come to pick me up? Where's Na 'er?" Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin saw Lang Yue as soon as they left the school after school.
Lang Yue's eyes revealed a trace of heartache as she quickly walked over to pick up her two sons.
"Mom, put me down quickly. I'm already a big child. It'll be embarrassing if my classmates see me!”The two brothers said embarrassedly.
Lang Yue giggled." You're still my sons no matter how old you are. Mommy is here to send you to Uncle Mang Tian's place. Do you really want to learn forging?"
Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin nodded."That's right! Dad said that a man should be self-reliant. We have to earn our own money to buy spirit souls.”(Tang Lingluo wanted to buy a spirit soul with her brother, so she never used her own spirit soul slot.)
Lang Yue put down her son and squatted in front of them."Son, don't force yourself if you can't hold on. If you really can't, I'll find a job and help you save money to buy a spirit soul.”
"No, we have to save money ourselves.”Tang Lingluo said firmly.
Lang Yue held back her tears and kissed her two sons 'faces again and again." Alright, let's go then."”
Glorybound City was not very big, so they did not need to take any form of transportation. Lang Yue brought Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin for more than twenty minutes before they arrived at a small storefront.
The front of the house looked a little shabby, and the signboard on it read Mang Tian's Studio.
Just as he reached the door, a metallic smell assaulted his senses.
Lang Yue pressed the doorbell. Not long after, the door opened and a middle-aged man walked out.
The middle-aged man was tall and had dark skin. His beard made him look a little fierce.
"Sister-in-law is here." His voice was deep and vigorous. Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin felt a little buzzing when they heard it.
"Uncle Mang Tian." They politely bowed to this uncle whom they had met a few times.
"Yes." Mang Tian expressionlessly nodded. He then turned to Lang Yue and said,"Sister-in-law, go back first. I'll pick him up in two hours.”
"Big brother Mang Tian, I'll have to trouble you then.”Lang Yue couldn't bear to look at her son. She wanted to say something, but eventually gritted her teeth and held it in.
