Politely Declining a Generous Invitation

That's right, for these people, making it to the finals is great news.

After all, there is Xu Xiaoyan in this team who has a unique advantage at night.

So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the final match should feature Xu Xiaoyan, Gu Yue, and Wu Yang Jin.

Alternatively, you can remove Wu Yang Jin and replace him with Tang Wu Lin or Hu Meier; there are many possible combinations.

"By the way, how should we play the fourth match? Shouldn't you let me have another chance to shine? It's so boring with you guys doing it every single time!" Xie Xie said.

"Huh? Xie Xie, didn't you participate in a few matches?" Xu Xiaoyan asked.

"Well, but I played in three matches: one where I was instantly killed, one where I did nothing, and the last one, which was after Yang Jin was injured. So, how do you think I should perform?" Xie Xie said.

"It seems so, but didn't I also look like I didn't play at all? Besides, there was that previous game, if the class monitor hadn't been injured, I wouldn't have been able to play at all," Xu Xiaoyan retorted.

"Um... well... okay, you won this time, but I'll go for the first match, give me a chance." Xie Xie said again.

"Hmm, I think that's a good idea too. Xie Xie perform, followed by Wulin and Meier. What do you guys think?" Wu Yang Jin asked.

Finally, everyone said there were no problems, and that was the final decision.

Then, waiting for the final match, the preliminary lineup was set as Wu Yang Jin, Gu Yue, and Xu Xiaoyan.

At that time, the most important fifth match before the finals will be played by Gu Yue, Wu Yang Jin, and Tang Wu Lin.

Afterwards, they all returned to their respective rooms to get some rest and prepare for tomorrow's match.

Then, the next day arrived. Everyone got up, washed up, ate breakfast, and headed to the competition venue to prepare.

However, due to some minor reasons, Gu Yue, Wu Yang Jin, and Xie Xie went to the competition venue separately.

"Yang Jin, but... even though you said that yesterday, are you sure you're alright?" Gu Yue asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, Gu Yue, I won't be reckless. Don't worry," Wu Yang Jin said.

"Alright then, but if you feel even the slightest bit uncomfortable, you absolutely must not participate in the match," Gu Yue said.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll be careful," Wu Yang Jin replied.

Then, the group headed to the venue to meet up with Tang Wu Lin, Xu Xiaoyan, and Hu Meier.

"Hmm? You're here. You must be Wu Yang Jin."

Suddenly, several adults stood next to Tang Wu Lin and his companions, one of whom was very dignified.

However, it was clear that the man at the very front, with silver hair, a vigorous spirit, and a tall and imposing figure, was looking for him.

His body was truly robust, and his hands appeared exceptionally broad and thick.

"Hello, is there something you need from me?" Wu Yang Jin asked respectfully.

"Yes, I need to talk to you about something. I was originally planning to ask you and Tang Wu Lin to come together, but I just finished talking to him first. Anyway, I heard you were injured in the competition, but you still managed to participate in the final. That takes real guts. However, it's a bit of a pity that you didn't win the championship because of the injury," the old man said.

"Yes, you're right, and thank you for your praise. I was indeed slightly injured during the competition," Wu Yang Jin replied.

"Oh, right, I am Duan Xuan, the president of the Tianhai Forging Master Association. You can also call me Old Duan. I just told Tang Wu Lin that your forging talent is excellent, you are truly promising talents. You are so young, but I think your talent and future are limitless," Duan Xuan said.

Hearing this, Wu Yang Jin was somewhat surprised, because the other party was a person of considerable prestige.

Although, in principle, it's not a big deal for someone to praise you, sometimes it's different.

Moreover, since they said that in the end, it's probably not just a casual compliment, but a recruitment offer.

Finally, there's no need to rack your brains or believe what you've written.

Because, just as Old Duan said, and as Wu Yang Jin thought, Duan Xuan had come to recruit him and Tang Wu Lin.

At first, before he even saw himself, Old Duan to recruit Tang Wu Lin.

Because he also knew that if one of them had it, the other would also have it.

To this end, Old Duan offered many tempting conditions, but he refused all of them, including the offer to recruit Tang Wu Lin.

As for Wu Yang Jin, he also refused, which surprised Duan Xuan.

After all, with two little ones, if one becomes a couple, there's no need to worry about the other being too likely to refuse.

"Wait, little guy, although I've already said this to Tang Wu Lin, don't be so quick to refuse," Duan Xuan said.

"Okay, please go ahead," Wu Yang Jin replied respectfully.

"Well then, please listen to my views and suggestions first," Duan Xuan said.

"Then you should know that our Skysea City is considered the largest city in the eastern part of the continent. Moreover, there are some things you might not know, but its political and economic status is superior to that of Eastsea City. Furthermore, Forging Master Association in Eastsea City can give you, I can give you here too."

"More importantly, we won't fail to deliver on our promises just because we deceived you. Furthermore, we can guarantee that all your forging training expenses, material costs, and miscellaneous expenses will be covered by the association until you attempt to reach the Saint-level Craftsman! And you should know how much it costs to attempt to reach the Spirit Forging level."

"By the way, many Forging Master actually waste too much time, energy, and money struggling at your stage. We understand your situation and Tang Wu Lin's. Therefore, I can assure you that the Heavensea Association is willing to pay this fee for you until you reach the Spirit Forging level."

"Furthermore, if you achieve even greater success during this period, we will go even further and do our utmost to help you with your forging. At the same time, the Tianhai Forging Master Association can guarantee that we will at least help you raise your cultivation to the Soul Emperor-rank in the future. You can trust us; we have the resources. Think about it again, what do you say?" Duan Xuan said.

After hearing this explanation, it's hard for anyone to refuse such a offer.

Moreover, the other party was genuinely sincere, having recognized your talent and thus extending the invitation.

In fact, both Tang Wu Lin in the past and Wu Yang Jin in the present were shocked by such conditions.

It must be said that Duan Xuan's words were very tempting, and he was indeed able to do what he said.

After all, with all the benefits, plus the guarantee of your cultivation level, it's a stroke of good fortune for anyone.
