Tie Xin saw that Tang San's attention was on them and chuckled smugly. "Those two boys are getting stronger and stronger. So, what do you think? The blacksmiths here are pretty good, right? They're my twin sons. One is Tie Long, the other Tie Hu. Though they're still young, they've inherited quite a bit of my craft. They're the best blacksmiths in the shop."
That was right. The two men Tang San had spotted were the Tie brothers who had lost to Lan Xue and him on the Spirit Duel Stage—the Iron Blood Duo.
Hearing Tie Xin say that, Tang San immediately understood why there had been Soul Power fluctuations coming from him. Judging by those fluctuations, Tie Xin was not particularly strong, perhaps even weaker than his two sons. Clearly, Tie Long and Tie Hu's spirit souls had undergone some degree of mutation. At their age, they already possessed over twenty levels of Soul Power. Even at an Advanced Soul Master Academy, they would likely be considered quite outstanding students.
"If our cooperation succeeds, I'll have them forge these items." Tang San was both a blacksmith and a soul master, so he naturally understood that forging with Soul Power as support produced far better results than ordinary blacksmithing. The evenness of one's strength during forging and the control over that strength alone were beyond what ordinary people could achieve.
Tie Xin gave Tang San a long look, then smiled faintly. "If we really do reach an agreement, that won't be a problem." He led Tang San to a room behind the workshop. Inside stood a table, seven or eight chairs, and a simple wooden bed. It was clearly the owner's office, and could also be used for resting. Through the window, they could see the workshop outside directly.
