Golden Dragon Tang Wulin 1

Chapter 44 - Aren't You Just Showing Off?

When Tang Wulin walked out of the forging room, his face was painted with joy. It wasn’t because of the recognition from both masters, nor was it because he had risen up to a second rank blacksmith. Rather, he was euphoric from the sum of 10,000 federation coins he received from the Heavy Silver component he had forged.

One can actually make such a huge fortune from forging rare metals!

Cen Yue had informed him, prior to his exit, to report back again to the Blacksmith Association in two-days time to receive his blacksmith’s badge, and to start receiving jobs from the Association.

“Mang Tian!” The call to his old acquaintance finally got through.

“En?” Mang Tian’s voice was just as indifferent as the time they last spoke.

“Where did you find yourself such a treasure?” Cen Yue spoke into his device impatiently.

Mang Tian replied plainly, “What are you talking about?”

“Who else do you think I am referring to? Your nine-year-old, second rank disciple. What’s more shocking, he just forged a component directly with Heavy Silver. With his young age, he could definitely master the Thousand Refinements within a few years of serious training. With that, he would be good on his way towards a Grandmaster Blacksmith. How did you train this child?”

“Hey, can you say something?”

Cen Yue was not pleased with the lack of response he got from Mang Tian.

“I have nothing to say. That child was born with innate divine strength and he has a diligent character. That’s all.” Mang Tian still spoke plainly.

Cen Yue snapped back at Mang Tian’s explanation. “Was your intention to brandish this kid’s abilities at me when you recommended him here?”

“Yes!” Mang Tian acknowledged his true intention.

“Speak, what are your conditions for you to give that child to me? Since you will be at the deserted Glorybound City most of the time, do you even have time to guide your disciple? He would be better off if you let him come with me. I will guide him carefully if you trust me.”

“I’m hanging up!”

Dududu!

“Bastard!” Cen Yue almost dropped his soul communicator out of rage.

“Teacher, were you looking for me?” At that very moment, a youngster in his twenties walked into Cen Yue’s room.

“What blacksmith rank are you at? How many years have you been under me? Can’t you even complete the Thousand Refinements……” The youngster, while in a state of loss, was unfortunately the target of all of Cen Yue’s anger. This master of his was usually known for his good temper.

Tang Wulin was, however, clueless of the impact his outstanding ability had on the others, and he was on his way back to the Academy.

“Take it!” Tang Wulin pushed forth the bagful of 10,000 federation coins to Xie Xie, who was propped up on his bed. The bruise from Tang Wulin’s punch had not subsided.

Xie Xie eyed him coldly, “Are you trying to run away from the match?”

Tang Wulin shook his head in reply. “I couldn’t pay up previously because I did not have any coins. Since I ruined most of the property, I don’t think you should be paying for all of it. Here is 10,000 federation coins. I will pay you back the other 10,000 federation coins when I have them. I am a man of my words, and since I have accepted your offer, I will be there tomorrow after school. You can set the location.”
