Two Masters and the Road Home for Three

"So, how could your teacher not want you? Learning forging from me, just like you said, doesn't mean that Mang Tian is no longer your master and teacher. It's just that having another teacher is not a bad thing," Mu Chen's deep and gentle voice came.

In the Forging Master community, the tradition has always been passed down from one lineage to one master, but with Mu Chen, this tradition has been completely changed today.

"My desire to take Wulin in naturally stems from personal motives. No teacher doesn't want an outstanding disciple. However, their healthy growth is even more important, so that together they can become legends in our Forging Master world. What's wrong with having two teachers for a generation of legends?"

"President, you... you really want to!" Mang Tian was incredibly excited at this moment.

He certainly understood what Mu Chen's decision meant to him. It meant that Mu Chen had put him on the same level as him. And in fact, Mang Tian really couldn't bear to part with Tang Wu Lin!

Tang Wu Lin glanced at Wu Yang Jin, and then Wu Yang Jin looked at Mu Chen.

"Teacher is here!" x2

"Good! Get up, you're both good children," Mu Chen said with satisfaction.

"President, why didn't you tell me earlier?" he asked Mu Chen with a hint of helplessness.

"Haha, why should I tell you in advance? You always have that zombie face. Cen Yue has told me about it several times, and I've disliked you for many years. I also know that you have enough talent in forging, but your lack of Soul Power has greatly affected your development. This is also a surprise for you." Mu Chen said.

"So... how do you plan to teach Wulin?" Mang Tian asked.

"Yes, your task now is still to study hard and continue to work hard in your newly formed Class Zero. I've heard about that. Moreover, you all shone brightly in the Promotion Tournament, which represents your strength and Soul Power. You should also do your best to improve your Soul Power and raise your cultivation level at the same time," Mu Chen said.

"As for your Innate Divine Strength, that goes without saying, giving you a much faster start than other Forging Master in the early stages. However, remember, to become a top-tier Forging Master, Soul Power is indispensable. I was quite surprised when I found out later, but don't worry about Yang Jin's Soul Power; the association will do its best to assist you in terms of resources and other aspects! However, Wulin, your Soul Power is slightly weaker, but you don't need to worry about resources either. At the same time, I will find you a method to cultivate Spiritual Power, while Yang Jin probably won't need that," Mu Chen continued.

"Finally, I hope you can reach the Spirit Forging before you turn twenty, and attempt the Soul Refinement before you turn thirty. Also, what level are you at in terms of your current Spiritual Power?" Mu Chen asked.

"I am 290, Wulin is 95," Wu Yang Jin said.

"What? Really? That's great!" Mu Chen clapped his hands and said.

Although the two children's Spiritual Power differs somewhat, even when compared separately with others, both Wu Yang Jin and Tang Wu Lin possess strong Spiritual Power. Moreover, from the perspective of Forging Master, these two children are not only Innate Divine Strength and possess extraordinary Martial Soul, but also have exceptional talents and strong Spiritual Power.

"Good! Very good. Now, Yang Jin, you must continue to work hard, Wulin, you must work hard in your Soul Power cultivation. As for any future needs regarding Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the association will try its best to help you within certain limits," Mu Chen said.

"Hey! Hey!" A call startled Tang Wu Lin from his reverie.

"Hey? Ah, hello Senior Sister!" Tang Wu Lin called out.

"Hmm, really, why are you suddenly spacing out?" Mu Xi asked.

"Uh..." Tang Wu Lin said.

"Alright, now that you've become my father's disciple, you should call me senior sister from now on," Mu Xi said.

"Hello, Senior Sister," Tang Wu Lin greeted respectfully.

"Hmm... Yang Jin, you are now truly my junior brother!" Mu Xi said with a hint of pride.

"Yes, Senior Sister, I didn't expect it to be so fast!" Wu Yang Jin said.

Afterwards, the two shook hands, and Mu Xi pinched Wu Yang Jin's cheek with a bit of pride, but Wu Yang Jin slapped her away.

"Hey? Let me pinch you! I'm your real senior sister now!" Mu Xi said.

"No, men and women shouldn't touch each other, especially with the teacher here," Wu Yang Jin said.

"Ah... Dad, I'm sorry, hehe," Mu Xi said somewhat awkwardly.

Watching the two of them playfully bickering, Tang Wu Lin wondered when Yang Jin and Senior Sister Mu Xi had become so close.

But then I realized that the senior sister Yang Jin mentioned a few days ago was actually Mu Xi. I was so focused on the Braised Jarred Beef at the time that I didn't ask which senior sister it was, but now I know.

"Tang Wu Lin, shall we go back?" Mu Xi asked.

"Mm." Tang Wu Lin nodded.

"Let's go then, Yang Jin, are you coming too? Or are we going to eat today as well?" Mu Xi said, leading the way.

"I think I'll skip it today. I plan to eat at school today, and it looks like it'll be later than last time. Let's go together next time, senior sister?" Wu Yang Jin asked.

"Okay, sure," Mu Xi replied.

Afterwards, the three walked back to the academy. During this time, Mu Xi asked Tang Wu Lin about his views on forging, especially on the use of Heavy Silver. She had asked Wu Yang Jin before, but Wu Yang Jin's answer was simple, though clear.

But Wu Yang Jin's answer was the same one his father always said: you have to communicate with the metals and see if they like how they are forged. Every piece of metal is different, just like people with different personalities and styles.

"Tell me your thoughts on the Heavy Silver," Mu Xi asked.

"Hey? Heavy Silver? Great!" Tang Wu Lin said, getting really excited when it came to forging.

"Does the metal itself tell you this?"

After hearing Tang Wu Lin's words, Mu Xi remembered that her father had also said the same thing to her: that one must experience and understand the Thousand Refinement on one's own, and that one must be in tune with one's own heart.

The metal will tell you itself; that's one answer, but Mu Xi herself is wondering when she'll be able to understand it.

However, after that, Mu Xi took advantage of the darkness and the fact that no one was around to apologize to Tang Wu Lin again, which surprised Tang Wu Lin.

Afterwards, the three of them returned to the school and walked to the vicinity of the dormitory. There was a person sitting on the steps in a certain place. Mu Xi was lost in thought and did not see the person. She just walked straight past him.

"Senior sister, watch where you're going, be careful," Wu Yang Jin said.

Then, he quickly pulled Mu Xi back. Mu Xi felt the divine power, but it felt different from what he expected.

"Ah!" Mu Xi cried out in fright when she was pulled like that, and she couldn't move at all.
