Douluo Crown World Hero

Chapter 143 Means of Living
"Wait a minute." Tang Ziran called Tang Wulin to stop.

"What's wrong dad?"

Tang Ziran patted the chair beside him, "Come on, sit down, Dad has something to discuss with you."

"Oh." Tang Wulin came to sit next to his father and looked at his face with some doubts.

Tang Ziran said: "Son, if you choose to become a soul master, Dad supports you. But Dad said that you have to face many difficulties, not only in your studies, but also in our family."

"Every time a soul master cultivates to an integer level of ten, he needs a soul ring to complete a breakthrough. In the past, a long time ago, soul rings could be obtained by hunting soul beasts. But after tens of thousands of years of research, it has been found that soul rings are more powerful than soul rings. With advantages, spirits above high levels can also grow, and can be artificially manufactured to a certain extent. Souls are equivalent to the spiritual existence of spirit beasts. Souls of different levels can bestow one or more spirit rings on soul masters, and For us ordinary people, there is only one way to obtain souls, and that is to buy them from the Spirit Pagoda."

"Father has no skills, and his salary is meager. It's okay to support our family. Now that there are more Na'er, as you can see, you two little guys have a lot of food. So, when your soul power has reached the tenth level, Dad It’s hard to save you the money to buy a low-level random soul.”

"There are two ways to obtain souls from the Spirit Pagoda. One is for students with particularly excellent martial arts and fast cultivation speed. They can get the first soul for free. But obviously, your Blue Silver Grass does not have this free spirit. Opportunity. Therefore, there is only the second way to buy.”

Listening to his father's words, Tang Wulin couldn't help being a little dazed for a moment. He really had never thought about this question, yes!A soul master must have a soul ring, which can be brought directly by a soul beast, or obtained by fusing a soul.Now soul beasts are extremely rare, and it is too difficult to obtain them.Then only buy souls.

A six-year-old child still has a weak concept of money.But the real problem has been placed in front of him.

"Dad, what should I do then?"

Tang Ziran smiled wryly and said, "That's all Dad's ability is. Dad has worked hard these past few years, trying to help you make up some money. But you also need to work hard on your own. Do you still remember your Uncle Mangtian?"

"Remember! Didn't he come to our house before?" Tang Wulin's mind came up with the image of a tall middle-aged man with a somewhat fierce appearance.

Tang Ziran said: "Your Uncle Mangtian is an excellent blacksmith. Dad told him about our family's situation, and he said he could give you a chance to be an apprentice. Two hours a day, the first three months are for studying, After three months, if you can forge something simple, you can make a little money."

Tang Wulin's eyes lit up, "I am willing, Dad, when can I start?"

Tang Ziran looked at him with deep eyes, and said, "Forging is a very hard job, can you really do it?"

Tang Wulin nodded and said, "I can! I'll save money to buy souls myself."

Tang Ziran smiled, "Okay, then you can try it, if you can't take it anymore, let's not go."

"Okay. Dad, I'm going to meditate then."

Tang Wulin went back to his room, but a drop of liquid fell on Tang Ziran's shoulder.Tang Ziran turned his head to look, and behind him was his teary-eyed wife.

"Wu Lin is still so young, why do you want to do this? If we live frugally, we should be able to save him money for the soul." Langyue choked up, but she never disobeyed her husband, but this Second-rate……

Tang Ziran sighed softly, "It is too difficult for the Lanyincao Wuhun to become a soul master. Forging is a craft. Although Linlin is young, this child has a strong personality. Forging is not only able to forge metal, but also a The process of training him. If he can really persevere, he will not only have a means of earning a living when he grows up, but also can exercise his character, which will be of great benefit to him. You know our Under the circumstances, I am afraid that one day, we... Of course, it would be even better if Linlin can get Mangtian's approval. His professional level is even higher than mine. "

"Poor parents in the world." Liu Xueyu said.

Early the next morning, after bidding farewell to his mother and Na'er, Tang Wulin happily went to school.

A night of meditation made him feel more and more intimate with the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, so much so that he even had a special intimacy with the Blue Silver Grass.

The soul master class is not learning the knowledge of soul masters every day, but one day of soul master knowledge and one day of cultural lessons.Today is the turn of cultural class.

Tang Wulin is very smart, listens carefully and earnestly, and was praised by the teacher in the culture class.

"Liu Xueyu? What about you?" Liu Xueyu said, "Because I know a lot myself, so I know some things." Liu Xueyu arrived at home first.

Langyue resisted her tears, and kissed her son's face again and again, "Okay, then let's go."

Aolai City is not big, and there is no need to take any means of transportation. Langyue took Tang Wulin for more than 20 minutes and came to a small front room.

The exterior of the front room looks a bit dilapidated, and the signboard above says Mangtian Studio.

By the time I reached the door, a metallic smell had already hit my face.

Langyue rang the doorbell, and after a short time, the door opened, and a middle-aged man walked out from inside.

The middle-aged man was tall, dark-skinned, and his beard looked a little fierce.

"Siblings are here." His voice was deep and forceful, and Tang Wulin felt a little humming in his ears.

"Uncle Mangtian." He politely saluted this uncle whom he had met several times.

"Yeah." Mangtian nodded expressionlessly, and then said to Langyue, "Let's go back, brother and sister, and pick him up in two hours."

"Brother Mangtian, I'll trouble you." Langyue was a little reluctant to look at her son, wanted to say something, but finally held back through gritted teeth.

When Lang Yue came back, the meal had already been prepared. "Liu Xueyu, did you make this?" Liu Xueyu nodded and said, "Yes, Auntie. And I've already packed Wulin's portion in a bento box."

Liu Xueyu is also sensible, "I'll deliver it first. I'll be back later." Looking at a table of dishes.Langyue couldn't eat, after all, he was her own son.

"Come in." Mang Tian said to Tang Wulin.

"Oh."

Following Mang Tian into the studio, the hall of the studio was in a mess, with various metal parts everywhere. Tang Wulin could barely recognize that many of these parts should belong to the soul guide mech. The parts are right.

Mang Tian didn't stop, and continued to walk inward, and he also hurriedly followed.

The facade here is not big, but the space inside is not small. Through a corridor, Mang Tian brought Tang Wulin to a room.

There was a workbench in the room, but with Tang Wulin's current height, he couldn't reach it.

Mang Tian stopped, turned to look at Tang Wulin, and said, "Do you know what forging is?"

Tang Wulin shook his head blankly.

Mang Tian said indifferently: "Actually, I didn't want to accept you at first. You are too young to be suitable for forging. But your father insisted on letting you try. If you feel that you can't do it after trying it, then leave here, but don't leave here. I'm crying here, understand?"

"I won't cry, Uncle Mangtian." Tang Wulin protested.

Mang Tian said: "This is your task for today." He pointed to the side.

On the ground next to it, there is a metal platform about half a meter high, with a round metal block on it.There is a soul guide screen below.

Mangtian picked up two small metal hammers from the side and handed them to Tang Wulin, "See that round metal block? Hit this pair of hammers a thousand times, five hundred times on the left and right sides. Only when you reach enough The counter will only count if you have the strength. It is about the strength you need to swing the hammer up and then smash it down. After it is completed, I will tell you what forging is. If it is not completed, you will not use it tomorrow."

After speaking, he stuffed a pair of metal hammers into Tang Wulin's hands, turned around and left.

The handle of the metal hammer is about one foot long, and the hammer head is cylindrical, half a foot long, with a cross-sectional diameter of about ten centimeters.Each handle weighs about ten kilograms.This is not a light weight for a child who is only six years old.What's more, you have to swing it up and beat it.

Tang Wulin also had a bitter face when he saw the hammers, but when he took the pair of hammers from Mang Tian, ​​he was surprised to find that the pair of hammers didn't seem as heavy as he imagined.

hollow?Uncle Mangtian looks fierce, but he is actually quite nice.

There was a smile on Tang Wulin's face that I understood, and he swung the hammer with his right hand and smashed it down on the round metal.

"Bang!" The metallic roar startled him.The soul guide screen below seemed to be activated. When the screen lit up, a number one jumped out.

He raised the hammer with his left hand and dropped it, "Bang!"

two.
It doesn't seem too difficult!Tang Wulin raised the hammer with both arms and began to pound.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!" The continuous pounding made the numbers on the screen jump continuously.The hammer didn't seem too heavy, at least Tang Wulin didn't feel too heavy a load.A pair of hammers kept hammering down, and the numbers below continued to increase.

When he hit a hundred times, his body was already sweating, and when he hit three hundred times, his arms began to feel sore.

To persist, Dad said, persistence is victory!

Enduring the soreness, Tang Wulin continued to swing the double hammers.

After five hundred strokes, the soreness finally turned into soreness, but he still persisted hard, not letting himself stop.

The soreness became more and more intense, and Tang Wulin's arms began to turn slightly red, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

He kept telling himself in his heart, I have to study hard to forge so that I can make money to buy souls.Make mom and dad happy, but also protect Na'er.

After seven hundred blows, he could no longer lift his arms, and the speed of swinging the hammer also decreased significantly.

But he still gritted his teeth and persisted, sweating profusely, the school uniform issued by the college had already stuck to his body, and the sweat kept dripping.But at this moment, Tang Wulin suddenly felt a numbness in his tailbone, and his whole body trembled like an electric shock, and the original soreness weakened a little.The hammer, which already felt very heavy in his hand, became lighter again.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Continue to beat, and the next three hundred blows seem to be less heavy.

"One thousand!" The number finally jumped to the position requested by Mang Tian.Only then did Tang Wulin put down the double hammers, panting heavily.He could feel it himself, the indescribable pain in his palms, and the soreness in his arms that didn't look like his own. In addition, there was a refreshing feeling, and the numbness from the tailbone spread all the way to the cervical spine , back and forth, unspeakable bondage.

What he couldn't see was that the faint golden lines were constantly lingering on his spine accompanied by the tingling sensation.

It took 5 minutes for him to catch his breath.

"Uncle Mangtian, I'm done." Tang Wulin searched for a long time before finding Mangtian sitting there, fiddling with a part in a room.

Mang Tian was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the watch on his wrist. Only half an hour had passed since he handed over the task to Tang Wulin.

"Are you finished?"

"Yes!" Tang Wulin nodded.

One thousand, a huge number appeared in front of his eyes. The instrument was set by Mang Tian himself, so it is naturally impossible for a six-year-old child to cheat.But still unbelievable.

The two hammers are certainly not heavy for him, but they are by no means hollow. Each hammer weighs ten catties.For a normal adult male, if he swung such a hammer a thousand times, his arms would be so weak that he would not be able to lift it up, and it would be difficult to complete it in half an hour.Let alone a child who is only six years old.

The test given by Mang Tian was simply a way to decline.He has a good relationship with Tang Ziran, so it's not easy to refuse directly, but he is really unwilling to teach a six-year-old child who in his opinion is impossible to learn forging well.

But everything in front of me...

"Show me the hammer again, I won't say stop, don't stop." Mang Tian said in a deep voice.

"Okay." Tang Wulin picked up the hammer again and rested for a while, the soreness in his arm lessened a little.

"Bang, bang, bang..." The hammer fell, without any skill or leverage, it just hit the metal block so simply and directly.

With Mangtian's experience in forging, he was sure after just a few glances that the child's strength was enough to control the pair of hammers to complete the hammering.

Could this be the legendary talent?

His movements are direct and powerful, but he doesn't know any techniques of unloading or transforming force, and the counter-shock force of the thumping is undoubtedly borne by his arms.

Fifty times, eighty times, a hundred times.

Sweat poured out again, the soreness was even stronger than before, his arms were hot, and even his scalp began to swell due to excessive force.But Tang Wulin still clenched his teeth and continued to hammer and hammer.

150 hammers, his body began to shake, his arms swelled and hurt as if it was not his own, and his eyes were a little blurred, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

I can hold on, I can pass the test.I am a man, persistence is victory.

When Mang Tian called to stop, Tang Wulin didn't know how many times he swung the hammer. If Mang Tian hadn't supported him, he would have fallen to the ground.

Taking the hammer in his hand, Mang Tian could clearly see that the palms of Tang Wulin's hands were worn out by the shock force of the hammer handle, and his arms were even swollen.

The fierce-looking blacksmith was finally moved, not only because of Tang Wulin's natural supernatural power, but also because of his persistence.

Strength can still be exercised the day after tomorrow, but the appearance of perseverance in such a six-year-old child is too commendable.

bump!bump!
Someone is knocking on the door. "I'm not taking orders now."

"I'm here to deliver food."

This voice is Liu Xueyu, after Liu Xueyu came to deliver the meal.The two looked at the food and said, "It's delicious."

But Tang Wulin really couldn't eat fast, but as a master, he started eating right away.

"It looks like my siblings have paid for it." Liu Xueyu shook her head and said, "It's me, and now I pay for their electricity bills, water bills, and food expenses."

Mangtian looked at the child, and Liu Xueyu asked, "Who are you?"

Liu Xueyu said, "My name is Liu Xueyu, and Liu Qianming is my ancestor."
