After two years of hard work, Long Yuan's Soul Power had risen to level eleven. He was quite satisfied.

"It's time to go to Mang Tian Workshop and learn forging!"

Long Yuan stopped cultivating. After persuading Lin Ximeng, he headed toward Mang Tian Workshop.

Tang Wulin had been sent to Mang Tian Workshop by his parents long ago.

He had connections; Long Yuan did not.

If Long Yuan wanted to stay at Mang Tian Workshop as an apprentice, he had to show some real skill.

That was why, over the past two years, he had focused most of his efforts on raising his Soul Power.

Because he had obtained more of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, his physical condition and strength far surpassed those of children his age.

That was precisely his advantage in forging.

He acted as soon as he made up his mind. Some time later, Long Yuan arrived at the entrance of Mang Tian Workshop.

Before he even reached the door, the smell of metal washed over him.

The clanging of metal being struck rang out from inside from time to time.

"Ahh..."

Just as Long Yuan was about to knock, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Tang Wulin, y-you're having another episode?"

He turned around and saw that it was Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin was sprawled beside a pool next to Mang Tian Workshop. His skin had turned slightly red, and Golden Patterns had appeared on his forehead once more.

The blood in his body roared.

"S-save me..."

Upon seeing Long Yuan, Tang Wulin reached out to him and plunged his entire head into the pool.

Steam began rising from the water, as though it were about to boil.

"What the..."

Long Yuan's eyes widened. He had never seen anything like this before.

"Hang in there!"

Long Yuan rushed over at once. With a boom, he released his White Dragon Martial Soul.

He pulled Tang Wulin up, stretched out his hand, and pressed his palm against Tang Wulin's forehead.

The Golden Patterns on Tang Wulin's forehead swiftly transferred toward Long Yuan's palm.

At the same time, some dark crimson threads also transferred along with them.

The blood in Long Yuan's body began roaring, while his Soul Power circulated at high speed.

His skin rapidly turned crimson as well, and Golden Patterns appeared on his forehead, spreading across his entire body.

They then spread into the White Dragon Martial Soul.

This time, as he drew out the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, Long Yuan's body seemed like a bottomless pit, absorbing it without end.

Could it be because my Martial Soul has solidified, allowing me to withstand more of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline?

Long Yuan pondered inwardly, not knowing why this was happening.

But as long as he could endure the impact of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, he would never let go.

Roar...

After an unknown amount of time, a lofty dragon's roar filled with majesty erupted from within Long Yuan's body.

It carried grief and indignation, yet also a trace of joy.

Then, the blood in his body surged rapidly, his Soul Power ran wild, and Golden Patterns covered his entire body.

At a certain moment, when the Golden Dragon King Bloodline within Tang Wulin's body stopped transferring—

Long Yuan could no longer hold on and collapsed.

Tang Wulin also passed out.

After a long while, the two of them woke up one after the other.

"Long Yuan, thank you. Otherwise, something definitely would have happened to me!"

Tang Wulin came before Long Yuan and bowed deeply.

Whenever that kind of episode occurred, he felt as though his entire body were about to explode from the heat. It was unbearably painful.

Fortunately, with Long Yuan's help every time, he was always able to recover quickly.

"It's nothing. I'm the class monitor, after all. When a classmate is in trouble, the class monitor should do everything he can to help!"

Long Yuan looked at Tang Wulin as he said this.

Yet there was a question in his heart.

Didn't Tang San leave behind a trace of Divine Sense in Tang Wulin's Sea of Spirit, under the alias "Old Tang," to help Tang Wulin break the seals? Then why had Tang Wulin just experienced that kind of episode? Could it be related to him? Long Yuan had a bold suspicion: perhaps his Dragon Martial Soul was connected to the Golden Dragon King, the Silver Dragon King, or even the Dragon God.

If so, it might have been because of his Martial Soul that Tang Wulin had undergone changes unlike those in the original story.

"I think you probably won't have this happen again in the future. Let's try once more!"

As Long Yuan spoke, he released his White Dragon Martial Soul with a rumble.

He wanted to see whether Tang Wulin would still react abnormally while he had his Martial Soul released.

Previously, whenever he released his Martial Soul, the Golden Dragon King Bloodline within Tang Wulin would begin to boil and roar, trying to surge into his body.

"Huh? I-I can't feel it anymore!"

When the Martial Soul appeared, excitement filled Tang Wulin's eyes.

Whenever Long Yuan released his Martial Soul before, he would react abnormally. Yet this time, his body did not react at all.

"Mm, that means that after two years of effort, your illness has been completely cured!"

Long Yuan was overjoyed. After two years of extraction, the Golden Dragon King Bloodline in Tang Wulin's body had finally been completely transferred into his own.

He just did not know why such a powerful Golden Dragon King Bloodline had failed to harm him.

Aside from its connection to his Martial Soul, Long Yuan guessed that perhaps even the seals Tang San had placed had been transferred into his body.

As long as he broke the seals in the future, he would be able to rapidly grow stronger using the Golden Dragon King's bloodline.

"Let me try again!"

Long Yuan stretched out his hand and pressed it against Tang Wulin's forehead, only to find that not even the slightest trace of bloodline was transferred anymore.

Although he could still sense a tiny amount, that negligible trace had already been absorbed by Tang Wulin's body.

Over the following period, Long Yuan and Tang Wulin tried several more times, but they never again found any trace of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline within Tang Wulin.

At that point, Long Yuan was certain that the Golden Dragon King's bloodline had been completely transferred to him.

During this time, Tang Wulin slept peacefully every day and no longer suffered the pain he had endured before.

His illness was completely cured.

All the credit belonged to Long Yuan.

Having extracted the Golden Dragon King's bloodline from Tang Wulin, Long Yuan did not feel much guilt.

Aside from the first extraction, which had been an accident, Tang Wulin had actively sought him out for extraction every other time.

Because of his Martial Soul, if Long Yuan had not extracted it, the Golden Dragon King Bloodline inside Tang Wulin would have erupted completely, and Tang Wulin would undoubtedly have exploded to death.

All he could say was that he had transmigrated here.

Tang Wulin would no longer have the fortune to enjoy the benefits brought by the Golden Dragon King's bloodline! "I wonder what expression Tang San will have when he learns that the person helping to break the Golden Dragon King Bloodline Seal is me rather than his son, Tang Wulin?"

Tang San had indeed left behind a trace of Divine Sense in Tang Wulin's Sea of Spirit under the alias "Old Tang," to help Tang Wulin break the seals.

Although Tang San's Divine Sense was in Tang Wulin's Sea of Spirit, Long Yuan, who was familiar with the plot, had long known the method for breaking the seals.

Regardless of whether there would still be steps to break the seals in the future, Tang San had indirectly helped Long Yuan obtain the benefits brought by the Golden Dragon King Bloodline.

Thinking of this, Long Yuan eagerly anticipated the day he would meet Tang San.

After all, when he had read the novel in his previous life, he had formed an extremely poor impression of Tang San!

After the God Realm was swept away by the Space-Time Turbulence and vanished, Tang San's expression drastically changed somewhere within it.

"Third Brother, what's wrong?"

Tang San's abnormal reaction caught Xiao Wu's attention. This response was not normal.

"The Divine Sense I left in Wulin's spiritual world sensed that the Golden Dragon King Bloodline in Wulin's body has disappeared?"

As he spoke, icy killing intent flashed through Tang San's eyes.

Who had taken the Golden Dragon King Bloodline from his son's body? Back then, he had sealed the Golden Dragon King Bloodline within Tang Wulin's body and left behind a wisp of Divine Sense in his spiritual world.

His purpose had been to wait until the time was right, then help Tang Wulin break the Eighteen Seals he had placed on him.

He wanted Tang Wulin to absorb the Golden Dragon King Bloodline and strengthen himself.

"What? It disappeared? That's wonderful! Then it won't harm him anymore!"

Xiao Wu's feelings upon hearing this news were completely opposite to Tang San's.

That was bloodline produced by the Golden Dragon King's Divine Core. It was unimaginably terrifying.

Its disappearance proved that the Golden Dragon King's scheme had not succeeded, and her son would be safe and sound.

"This matter isn't that simple. I need to use that wisp of Divine Sense to ask Father to go check on Wulin. If necessary, I'll have him and Mother help Wulin completely awaken his Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, then awaken a Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul for him as well."

"No, Third Brother. Gods cannot interfere with matters of the lower realm. Doing this would violate the rules."

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Xiao Wu's eyes widened, and she hurriedly tried to stop him.

"I'm not descending to the lower realm. I'm only asking Father to watch over him. That doesn't count as a violation.

Besides, even if it is a violation, so what?"

Tang San rose to his feet, his domineering aura overflowing.

For the sake of making his son stronger, so what if he broke the rules?

Who in the God Realm could possibly be his match? He had broken the rules—so what?...

Ding-dong!

That day, Long Yuan arrived at the entrance of Mang Tian Workshop once again.

The last time he came, Tang Wulin's matter had delayed him, and he never went inside.

After he rang the doorbell, a burly man in his twenties opened the door.

"Kid, are you here to become an apprentice at the workshop too?"

The people who came to visit Mang Tian Workshop were either wealthy clients requesting forging services, or those hoping to become apprentices.

Most children who came here wanted to see whether they could become apprentices.

"Yes!"

Long Yuan had no need to explain much, because there was a sign standing outside Mang Tian Workshop. It clearly stated that anyone who could pass Mang Tian Master's test could become an apprentice here.

"Mm, not bad. You've got courage. Come with me, then!"

As he spoke, the burly man led Long Yuan into the workshop.

When Tang Wulin came for his assessment two years ago, they had all thought he had no chance.

Yet unexpectedly, Tang Wulin displayed quite remarkable talent in forging and won Mang Tian Master's favor.

From then on, whenever someone came to take the assessment to become an apprentice, the staff did not dare to neglect them.

If they were to turn away a Forging Genius at the door and cause Mang Tian Master to lose a favored disciple, they would definitely be punished.
