What couldn't be retained wasn't just time and years, but also friendship and love. What he couldn't give up was not only honesty and integrity, but also yearning and longing.
Dragon Emperor Douluo, Tang Lingluo
——————————————————————————————————————
Mang Tian only grabbed Tang Wulin's shoulders and didn't try to persuade him further. Letting them vent their frustrations was the best response.
After crying for a long time, Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin gradually stopped crying. Tang Wulin picked up the letter in his hand and read it over and over again.
Every time he saw the words 'Daddy, Mommy loves you', tears would flow uncontrollably.
Father and mother left. Moreover, he did not know where they had gone and when he would see them again. Na 'er also left. My brother's and my home is gone.
"Do you want to find them?" Mang Tian's voice rang out.
Tang Wulin raised his head and looked at his teacher with teary eyes.
Tang Lingluo glared at Mang Tian.
"If you want to find them, you must first become stronger. Your father was an outstanding mecha designer, but it was precisely because he was too outstanding that he was threatened. However, his excellence also meant that he did not have to worry about his safety. However, the force that could take him away was definitely not ordinary. "Therefore, if you want to find them, you must first be strong enough. You are too weak now."
"Teacher." Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin called out,"We must become stronger!"”
Tang Wulin was still strong after all. He gradually calmed down after venting his emotions.
"Those factions better not let my parents get hurt. Otherwise, I'll let them know what the fury of a king is!”Tang Lingluo roared in his heart. Those who knew Tang Lingluo well in Dragon Clan knew that when Tang Lingluo was angry, even the Dark King would be afraid.
Mang Tian explained to them some of the things they needed to take note of when Thousand Refinements were done before leaving. The two brothers returned to the academy.
There were three additional cards in Tang Lingluo's dragon soul ring. The identity card that symbolized his identity could allow him and Tang Wulin to go anywhere on the continent. On the other hand, the bank card contained a heavy one million federal coins that his father had left for them.
Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin's total assets had already exceeded 1.64 million federal coins. They were not far from the Ice Crystal Fruit and Scarlet Flame Fruit. For Tang Wulin, the spirit soul was no longer the most important thing. The most important thing was to complete the first absorption of the Golden Dragon King's essence before he turned ten to ensure his survival.
"Ling Luo, Wulin, what's wrong?”During dinner, Xie Xie and Gu Yue noticed that something was wrong with Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin.
Although their strong physiques had made their red eyes return to normal, the dullness and sadness in their eyes were too obvious. They were just children and did not know how to hide their emotions.
Tang Lingluo collected his emotions and shook his head." We're fine. By the way, how's your investigation of class one?”
Gu Yue and Xie Xie looked at each other with grave expressions.
"We're in trouble," Xie Xie said in a deep voice.”
"Hmm?" Tang Wulin's originally dispirited spirit was instantly lifted. Tang Lingluo also looked at him with a grave expression. They understood Xie Xie very well. This fellow was usually very arrogant. For him to say the word 'troublesome' meant that their opponent was undoubtedly not easy to deal with.
"This year's class one is known as the strongest freshman class in the past hundred years. No wonder the dean didn't even blink when he threw me into class five.”
"Strongest freshman? What a joke! There was no strongest in this world, only stronger!”Tang Lingluo thought disdainfully when she heard Xie Xie's words.
"How strong?" Tang Wulin asked curiously. Could there be three two-ringed soul masters?”
Xie Xie looked at him in shock, and Gu Yue had the same look in her eyes. The two of them spoke in unison,"How did you know?"
Tang Wulin was equally shocked. Three two-ringed? Are they really freshmen?"
"It's the real deal," Gu Yue replied. The Wei Xiaofeng we saw today is not the strongest among the three. I wonder if Teacher Wu chose the three of us to fight because there are three new students on the other side. This battle isn't going to be easy for us!”
"Sigh, it's a pity that Teacher Wu won't let me participate in the Class Promotion Tournament no matter what. Otherwise, I'll let them know what instant kill is!”Tang Lingluo sighed when he heard Gu Yue's words.
Soon after, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie roared at Tang Lingluo without the slightest hesitation." You're the least qualified to say such things as a humanoid beast!”
"Calm down, calm down. This is the dining hall. Don't make a racket. The students are all watching.”Tang Lingluo pointed at the strange gazes that were attracted by the three people's roars.
Tang Wulin and the other two tacitly picked up their cutlery to eat as if nothing had happened.
However, Tang Wulin's gaze was slightly frozen. The three of them only had one ring. Although Xie Xie had twin martial souls and Gu Yue was an extraordinary one-ringed soul master, they only had one ring after all!
There was a qualitative difference between a first ring and a second ring. Back then, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie had fought Guang Long with all their might, but they had barely managed to tie. Later on, it was her brother, Tang Ling, who transformed into a dragon and defeated Guang Long. Now, they were facing three opponents with two rings. How could they fight in such a competition?
"It's for their class. The academy has just released new rules for the Class Promotion Tournament." The Class Promotion Tournament for each grade would only be held in the same grade. There would no longer be cross-level challenges. Obviously, they were afraid that their class would sweep through the upper grades and bring about a bad influence. The teachers in class one were the strongest, and the academy paid special attention to them. It was said that they were considering skipping a grade.”
The opponent was actually so powerful! And tomorrow, they would face this match. Everything happened too suddenly.
With such a powerful opponent, could they still defeat them?
From Xie Xie's and Gu Yue's expressions, one could tell that their confidence had been shaken. As for himself? In this team of four, in reality, he was simply a burden.
The four of them were silent. Even Tang Wulin's appetite was affected.
At this moment, the canteen's broadcast suddenly sounded.
"Teachers and students, please pay attention. There was an emergency broadcast. We have received a notice from the Meteorology Department that there will be a strong tropical storm tonight. This strong typhoon is expected to last for more than a week. Therefore, in the following week, please do not leave the academy easily. All classes are temporarily suspended. Please wait in your dormitory. The Class Promotion Tournament was suspended and resumed after the typhoon left.”
A typhoon?
The East Sea Metropolis was adjacent to the seaside, so it was common for it to be hit by a typhoon. Unexpectedly, the typhoon arrived at this time.
What caught Tang Lingluo's attention the most was the last sentence. The Class Promotion Tournament was suspended.
The four of them looked at each other.
This meant that they still had a week to improve themselves and understand each other.
However…it was useless. What could he do in a week? Even Xie Xie, who was the closest to two rings, could not possibly raise his cultivation base to two rings in a short week!
Tang Wulin's gaze suddenly froze. He stood up abruptly and walked out.
"Wulin, where are you going?" Tang Lingluo quickly asked.
"Big brother, I'm going to do something. The typhoon is coming soon, so I have to deal with it first." Tang Wulin said without turning his head.”With that, he rushed out of the canteen.
Tang Lingluo looked at his back and asked Gu Yue and Xie Xie,"I keep feeling that there's something off about Wulin these past two days.”
"I think so," Gu Yue replied. However, he was much calmer than Xie Xie. He would adjust himself well.”
"Can you not drag me into this?" Xie Xie said angrily.”
"No, you're a bad example," Gu Yue said leisurely. Arrogant, proud, and not very powerful. Ling Luo was different from Wulin. He was steady, reserved, and had unlimited potential.”
Xie Xie stood up angrily." I don't care about women.”His voice was a little loud, and the gazes of the female students of the intermediate division who were eating in the cafeteria instantly focused on him.
" Uh…" Xie Xie suddenly accelerated and disappeared in a flash.
"Right, Gu Yue is really the silver and blue contact lenses that you and Xie Xie wanted. I'll go and see what Wulin is up to first.”Tang Lingluo placed two exquisite boxes, one silver and one basket, in Gu Yue's hands. Then, she chased after Tang Wulin.
As she watched Tang Lingluo leave, Gu Yue spoke in a voice that only she could hear," Ling Luo, who exactly are you? Could you be that Golden Dragon King fellow? I hope you're not, because I don't want to attack you.”
......
Not only did Tang Wulin rush out of the cafeteria, but he also rushed out of the academy. At this moment, his heart felt like it was on fire. A strong voice kept echoing in his heart.
I want to become stronger, stronger!
I'm not strong enough. Na 'er left.
I wasn't strong enough. Daddy and Mommy left.
I'm not strong enough and will drag down my teammates.
I want to become stronger!
If it was said that Tang Wulin could only accept everything about himself in a daze in the past, he knew that he had the possibility of becoming stronger ever since he learned about the Golden Dragon King.
The Golden Dragon King's seal had brought him a life-threatening crisis, but it had also given him a chance to change his fate.
One week. He still had one week. The time given by the typhoon.
His father had traded his freedom for one million Federation dollars. He wanted to use it to become stronger.
Tang Wulin took out his soul communicator and swiftly dialed one of the few numbers recorded on it.
"Wulin?" Soon, a gentle voice came from the other side.
"Grandmaster Cen, I'd like to proceed with the third stage." Blacksmith's assessment. I wonder if I can do it now?"
The person on the other end of the soul communicator was Master Craftsman Cen Yue.
"Isn't it too late now? What was that? Wait a minute? What did you say? III. Blacksmith?" At first, Cen Yue did not manage to react. However, when he realized what Tang Wulin was talking about, he raised his voice in shock.
"Can't I?" Tang Wulin stopped in his tracks. A look of disappointment appeared in his eyes. A typhoon was coming tonight. If he could not do it today, he would probably be in trouble when the typhoon arrived. What about his own plan? His burning heart instantly cooled down.
"Wait a moment." Cen Yue said in a deep voice.
Tang Wulin said,"Wulin, you're taking the third grade." A 4th rank blacksmith? What's the hurry? Tell me the truth!" Tang Lingluo appeared in front of Tang Wulin like a ghost.
"Ah! Brother, why are you here?" Tang Wulin was shocked at first. He then saw that it was Tang Lingluo who asked in confusion.
Tang Lingluo looked at him with her yellow eyes." I was worried about you, so I came out to take a look. Tell me honestly, is it related to your dragon bloodline? First, you went to the auction house to look for spirit fruits, then you rushed to take the third grade. There must be something fishy going on! Tell me the truth. Otherwise, don't blame me for being heartless.”As he spoke, Tang Lingluo felt an immense pressure from his body. Tang Wulin felt that his brother was truly enraged.
"Brother, I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone else.”Tang Wulin pondered for a moment and decided to tell Tang Lingluo. After all, Tang Lingluo was his brother and would not harm him.
Tang Wulin took a deep breath." Brother, it's like this. When I was meditating the day before yesterday…"
At this moment, Cen Yue was eating in a restaurant. He was not alone. Sitting opposite him was the president of Eastsea City's Blacksmith's Association, Saint Craftsman Mu Chen, and Mu Chen's precious daughter, Mu Xi.
"Who wants to take the third grade? How can it surprise you so much?" Mu Chen asked with a smile.
To the association, it was a good thing to have another Master Blacksmith. However, the shock on Cen Yue's face piqued his curiosity.
Cen Yue's expression was slightly strange as he said,""You will never guess that it is that little fellow.”
"Who is it?" Mu Chen was stunned, but two childish faces had already appeared in his mind.
Cen Yue nodded at him." He said he wants to do the third one now. Blacksmith's assessment. But it's a little too late now. You see…"
A look of shock flashed across Mu Chen's eyes. He took a deep breath to calm his agitated emotions and said in a deep voice,"Tell him to come over now. There's no problem with the assessment."
"Alright."
Cen Yue let go of the microphone and spoke into the soul communicator."Wulin, come on. The president has specially approved that you can be assessed now.”
"Alright, I'll go over right away. However, my brother also wants to take the exam, is that okay?”Tang Wulin's inquiring voice came from the other end of the microphone.
"Wait a moment, I'll ask the president first.”Cen Yue said solemnly.
Cen Yue put down the soul communicator beside his ear and asked Mu Chen,"President, the situation has changed. Those two little fellows are going to take the exam.”
"What?! They all have to take the exam?" Mu Chen shouted first. Then, he quickly calmed down." It's accurate. Let them pass."”
Cen Yue hurriedly replied to Tang Wulin and asked him to bring Tang Lingluo along for the assessment.
Mu Xi looked at her father in confusion, then at Cen Yue." Dad, what are you talking about? Why was there still someone taking the third rank blacksmith examination at this late hour? Why do you look so surprised?"
Mu Chen sighed softly and touched it. He touched his daughter's head." Girl! There was always someone better than him. The two candidates were Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin!”
When Mu Xi heard this, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she jumped up like a spring." No, this is impossible." How old was he? How could he take the third test? A 4th rank blacksmith? III. You have to Thousand Refine to level up!"
"Let's settle the bill and go back," Mu Chen said to Cen Yue. Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Today, we will personally witness the arrival of this miracle.”
When Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin arrived at the Blacksmith's Association, the sky was already dark. The main entrance was open, but the lights inside were not bright.
As expected, it's late. You've already gotten off work, right?
Eastsea Academy wasn't the only one who received the weather forecast. Most of the Blacksmith's Association's staff members had already taken their leave early.
When they entered the association hall, there was no reception staff. The brothers took the elevator directly to the third floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, they saw a familiar face. Wasn't he Master Cen Yue?
"Hello, Master Cen. I'm really sorry to trouble you so late at night.”Tang Wulin had already calmed down a little by now. He spoke with a bashful expression.
Tang Lingluo quickly apologized as well.
Cen Yue stepped forward and put his arm around their shoulders."It's nothing. To be able to witness a miracle, it was worth it no matter how late it was. Let's go over."
He did not ask any further questions. He brought Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin to the forging room for the assessment.
The two brothers were shocked when they saw Mu Chen and Mu Xi waiting for them.
"Guild leader? Hello, President." Tang Wulin hastily bowed before speaking to Mu Xi,"Hello, senior."
"Hello, President." Compared to the flustered Tang Wulin, Tang Lingluo was much calmer. She bowed to Mu Chen first, then ignored Mu Xi who was beside Mu Chen.
After the incident with Mu Xi, Mu Xi never came to cause trouble for them again. Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin did not feel anything when they saw her again, but Mu Xi looked at them with her beautiful eyes spitting fire.
What did these two kids do? He actually wanted to take the third grade. A 4th rank blacksmith? This was simply unbelievable.
"Wulin, your aura is a little unstable. I suggest you calm down before the assessment."”
Tang Wulin's heart skipped a beat." Thank you, President. I'll make some adjustments first." Please wait for a moment." As he spoke, he sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to meditate.
Cen Yue looked at Mu Chen and transmitted his voice to him,"Do you think he can succeed?"
Mu Chen smiled." Although I've only seen these two children a few times, they're much more mature than their peers. Especially Tang Lingluo. If he wasn't confident, he probably wouldn't have come." They must have something else to do since they are looking for you so urgently today. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to test you at night. He would ask them after they finished their tests. Moreover, I noticed that the second rank forging missions they completed recently were getting more and more difficult. They were basically at the limit of what a second rank blacksmith could achieve.”
"We guessed it pretty well. So the president is the same as me. He's been paying attention to these two little guys!" Cen Yue laughed.”
"He's a peerless genius Blacksmith who has the potential to make it out of Eastsea City. As the Guild Leader, how can I not pay attention to him?" Mu Chen smiled.”
Then, Cen Yue said gently to Tang Lingluo," Ling Luo, come with me to the other forging workshop for the assessment.”
"Alright, Master Cen." Tang Lingluo ignored Mu Xi, who was staring at him, and went to another forging workshop with Cen Yue.
"Why is a boy so pretty?”Mu Xi said with jealousy after Tang Lingluo left.
When Mu Chen heard his daughter's words, he sighed helplessly and thought,'Women really can't stand seeing things that are more beautiful than themselves, regardless of their age.”
Tang Wulin did not truly enter a meditative state. Instead, he relied on his soul power to adjust himself so that he could gradually relax and calm his emotions.
Twenty minutes later, when he stood up again, he had already calmed down.
"Guild Leader, Master Appraiser, I can begin now.”Tang Wulin bowed to the three of them.
It was slightly more urgent than when he had just arrived. In contrast, he had completely calmed down. Not only was his aura calm, but his eyes had also become peaceful.
