Commentary and Assessment
"However, there's no rush for you to choose a second career right now. You have plenty of time to think about it. But you'll have to choose by your Third Year at the latest. Of course, you can choose other options from the three I've given you. These are just what I think are good, not absolute. Besides, Wu Yang Jin and Tang Wu Lin have already chosen their second careers." Wu Zhangkong said, looking at the two children.
Then, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi looked at the two people with surprise, their eyes turning to Wu Yang Jin and Tang Wu Lin.
"You... have already made your choices?" Zhang Yangzi asked.
"Yes, we are both Third-Level Forging Master," Wu Yang Jin replied.
"Well, we were thinking about whether to take the CET-4 exam, but Yang Jin said he was afraid things would get complicated and there was no rush. It's not too late to practice some more," Tang Wu Lin continued.
"This is... this incredible?" This was what both of them were thinking. Although they were still somewhat unconvinced because of that battle, they were convinced in this respect.
"Yang Jin and Wulin chose forging, and you've seen their second career choices. This represents their hard work and talent. Of course, forging is also a second career I recommend you consider. The reason is that all Battle Armor above purple level is inseparable from forging! Moreover, regardless of which second career you choose, reaching five stars or higher will provide you with sufficient resources for cultivation. It will make you an object of respect, admiration, and awe," Wu Zhangkong added.
Indeed, in the current Douluo Continent, choosing a second profession is necessary. If you are strong and have a high-level second profession, you won't have to worry about anything in your life. So, it seems that Wu Yang Jin and Tang Wu Lin are fine at the moment.
Both of them are Third-Level Forging Master, and they estimate that their strength may reach Fourth-Level Forging Master. Both children are also highly valued by the Forging Master Association.
Of course, Tang Wu Lin was also very interested in the Mecha Design, as Wu Zhangkong had said, but now that he had embarked on the path of forging, he could not afford to change his mind.
As for Wu Yang Jin? He was more interested in Mecha Design and Mecha Manufacturing, and not so much in repair.
However, as for the others, although Hu Meier, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue already knew about forging and had some understanding of second professions, the three of them had not yet made any choices. They also needed to think it over carefully, as making a choice for a second profession was not easy.
But for now, everyone is still young and has plenty of time to explore and understand the second career they want to pursue.
"Alright, today I'm just giving you a simple explanation of mechs and Battle Armor, to help you understand your future direction. When you enter your fourth year, that's when you'll actually choose your second profession, and only then will we begin further learning," Wu Zhangkong said.
"Also, our course consists of three parts: combat training, physical training, and theoretical learning. Combat training is our main goal and will be conducted every day! Physical training and theoretical learning will be conducted alternately. However, we will start combat training after you have all recovered in the next few days," Wu Zhangkong said.
"Teacher Wu, what do we do next?" Hu Meier asked.
"The rest of today's lesson is practical training! Right here, Yang Jin and Tang Wu Lin, help them push their desks to the back, clearing out the central area of the classroom, and then wait a moment," Wu Zhangkong said.
"Huh? Didn't you say it wouldn't be for actual combat? Are you kidding me? Are we just going to be used as target practice?" thought the mobile Wu Yang Jin, Xie Xie, Tang Wu Lin.
"And here? Isn't this an ordinary classroom? Wouldn't it be easy to destroy the Soul Master's abilities? Could it be some other technique?" Wu Yang Jin wondered.
Soon, the two of them set up the table, leaving only a relatively empty area.
"Tang Wu Lin, let me ask you first, what do you think of your match yesterday?" Wu Zhangkong said coldly.
"Teacher Wu, we were all too eager for quick success, and we didn't take care of the injured Yang Jin. Besides, we are classmates after all, and we shouldn't have hurt each other. We should have stopped when we were at our limit. And our strategy was flawed."
"I'm not asking about what you just said. I'm asking about how you felt during the battle, understand? How do you think you performed in the match? Like the strategy issue you mentioned."
Wu Zhangkong explained further.
"Well... overall, we shouldn't have let Yang Jin rush to the front a few times, even though he's very strong. My control is what I'm best at, but I didn't utilize it at the beginning, and the process was chaotic. We had already trained, but we didn't follow our strengths and didn't coordinate well," Tang Wu Lin said.
"Chaos? You're right, but it's more than just chaos, it's a complete mess. Although Yang Jin was sick, some of the decisions made at the time were simply ineffective and chaotic!" Wu Zhangkong said sternly.
Actually, from the very beginning when Wu Zhangkong asked Tang Wu Lin this question, apart from Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi, the others already knew what Wu Zhangkong was going to say, but they didn't expect it to be like this.
"To be honest, I'm very disappointed! My brother's decisions were also problematic, and Yang Jin's decisions weren't good either! But there were special reasons, and he was able to do that and protect others, so it's not bad. But overall, all of you, except for Hu Meier who didn't participate, have been learning from me for three months, and your teamwork should be quite good, but your performance was not like that." Wu Zhangkong said bluntly.
Xie Xie was the first to feel the gaze upon him.
"Xie Xie, do you think that because you showed off that you were Soul Grandmaster at the beginning, and that you are especially powerful after breaking through to the second ring? You rushed out to fight someone right away? Do you even have a concept of teamwork? You only know how to come up like this for a small matter? What if the other party didn't rush out, but deliberately lured you in?" Wu Zhangkong said.
"And you, I made you the team leader because you're calm and hardworking, which everyone sees, and it was also to train you. But why didn't you stop Xie Xie? Coordinating the entire team in battle is your responsibility! Also, even if you can use that Dragon Claw, don't you remember your own abilities all this time? You've been using them terribly! So what if it's Blue Silver Grass? You haven't been able to exert much control over it at all. What are you thinking?" Wu Zhangkong continued.
