The Sun-Moon Twins nodded upon hearing this: "Understood, Elder Cai!"
Cai Yue'er looked at the two, then suddenly pulled them aside and whispered in a voice only the three of them could hear: "Although these two soul beasts originated from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, they are fierce beasts after all. They are not of our kind, so you must be extremely careful."
After Cai Yue'er said this, the gazes of Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue flickered slightly, and both nodded.
"Rest assured, Elder Cai, we know our limits."
When Zhen Hua and Feng Wuyu went to see Mu Chen, Tang Wulin happened to be there as well! It was his first time seeing Zhen Hua, and only through Mu Chen's introduction did he learn that the man before him was the only Divine Craftsman on the continent today—his martial uncle!
"Martial Uncle Zhen Hua!"
Tang Wulin bowed respectfully to Zhen Hua.
Zhen Hua nodded slightly and praised: "Mu Chen, you have taken in a good disciple!"
The smile on Mu Chen's face could not be hidden. He looked at Zhen Hua and asked: "Senior Brother, why have you come to Shrek Academy?"
"I came for the disciples of the Sky-Piercing Douluo!"
Zhen Hua did not hide anything from Mu Chen. He looked at Tang Wulin again and said: "Come to think of it, aren't those two your homeroom teachers?"
Tang Wulin nodded and replied: "That's right! But Martial Uncle Yun and the others seem to have gone into seclusion."
"They have already come out."
Zhen Hua said to Tang Wulin: "To a blacksmith, they are a heaven-sent opportunity! Little guy, you must build a good relationship with them! Although their forging techniques cannot compare to yours, to the blacksmithing industry, they are no less significant than a Divine Craftsman!"
No less significant than a Divine Craftsman!
Tang Wulin's pupils constricted. He had not expected Zhen Hua to hold the Sun-Moon Twins in such high regard!
Even Mu Chen looked at Zhen Hua with a blank expression and asked: "Senior Brother, what exactly have those two done to warrant such an evaluation from you?"
The fact that the Sun-Moon Twins could perform secondary quenching on Heavenly Forging was the most guarded secret within the Blacksmith Association, known only to a group of Title Douluos like Zhen Hua and Mu Ye. Although Mu Chen was Zhen Hua's junior brother, he was often away and was not a Title Douluo, so he was unaware of it.
However, in this place, Zhen Hua did not hide anything and laid out the situation regarding the twins.
Mu Chen looked at Zhen Hua in disbelief and exclaimed: "My god—is this true?"
Feng Wuyu smiled and nodded: "Of course, could this be fake?"
Upon hearing this information, Tang Wulin could not help but be astonished, and the importance he placed on the Sun-Moon Twins rose several notches in his heart! Whether it was the characteristics of their martial souls or their sheer strength, the ability to influence Heavenly Forging and earn such high praise from a Divine Craftsman like Zhen Hua was proof enough of their extraordinary nature.
"If only such talents belonged to our Blacksmith Association!" Mu Chen sighed.
"That is exactly what Zhen Hua said. But unfortunately, we at Shrek got to them first." Feng Wuyu smiled very happily whenever he mentioned this.
Zhen Hua's expression turned somewhat sullen after Feng Wuyu said this. He waved his hand and said: "Alright, enough of that! I came to find you to go drinking, let's go! Let Old Man Feng treat us today; after all, this is Shrek Academy, his turf."
"Then, His Excellency Blazing Dragon, Teacher, Martial Uncle, I shall take my leave!" Tang Wulin bowed to the three of them at the appropriate moment.
After returning to the academy, he couldn't wait to share this news with Gu Yue and the others.
Upon learning that the Sun-Moon Twins had such an effect on forging, everyone was very surprised!
"Are they even human? That's Heavenly Forging we're talking about!" Xie Xie remarked, his face full of disbelief.
Xu Xiaoyan pictured Yun Qianzhao in her mind and sighed: "They truly are worthy of being the disciples of the Sky-Piercing Douluo. Not only are they handsome, but their talent is also so high!"
"Heavenly Forging... I wonder when I will be able to reach that level!" Tang Wulin was also filled with emotion.
At this moment, he could barely complete Spirit Forging, and Heavenly Forging could only exist in his fantasies!
Gu Yue looked at him earnestly and said: "I believe in you. Mere Heavenly Forging won't be able to stop you!"
"That's right, Boss!"
Xie Xie also nodded in agreement with Gu Yue.
"Mm! I must work hard too. Sooner or later, I will become a Divine Craftsman!" Tang Wulin nodded firmly and said, clenching his fist.
Perhaps stimulated by the Sun-Moon Twins, Tang Wulin entered meditation again that night, wanting to continue absorbing the power of the Golden Dragon King. However, just as he was about to touch the seal of the Golden Dragon King, he was stopped by Old Tang in his spiritual sea.
"With your current physical strength, you cannot yet withstand the new power of the Golden Dragon King!"
Old Tang looked at Tang Wulin and asked in a deep voice: "Were you stimulated by the talent of the Sun-Moon Twins today?"
Tang Wulin nodded: "Yes!"
"Wulin, do not treat them as enemies! You can become friends."
Old Tang said to Tang Wulin earnestly: "Try to get close to them! Getting close to them will also be of great benefit to your cultivation! Their martial soul attributes are pure, which is also good for your training."
Hearing this, Tang Wulin felt a bit strange: "But wouldn't that just be using them?"
"Wulin, you must remember. There is a dragon inside your body! This dragon could take your life at any moment! You must keep getting stronger, get stronger by any means necessary! Only then can you maintain your sense of self."
Old Tang changed his tone, speaking to Tang Wulin with a serious expression.
Tang Wulin fell into silence. Seeing that he did not answer, Old Tang continued: "Do you not want to find your parents anymore? If you die, you will never see your parents again! Not only that, but the people you cherish will also cease to exist!"
When he said these words, Tang Wulin clenched his fists and said: "I understand, Old Tang! However, I still don't want to use them. I will work hard to befriend them and make them my comrades!"
Looking at Tang Wulin's confident appearance, Old Tang was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "Fine, since you have such plans, then do as you wish."
Tang Wulin spent the entire day recalling what Old Tang had said to him during meditation.
Seeing him looking distracted, Gu Yue frowned and asked: "What's wrong? Didn't you rest well yesterday?"
Tang Wulin shook his head: "No... it's not that."
Just as Tang Wulin finished saying those words, Cai Yue'er walked in from outside. She swept her gaze across the room, and the students in the class hurriedly sat up straight.
Everyone sat with perfect posture.
Cai Yue'er stood still at the podium and said to the group: "Your homeroom teacher has arrived!"
Following her words, Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue walked in from outside the classroom, with Jiaojiao and Bajiao following closely behind.
Tang Wulin's gaze immediately landed on The Twins, or more accurately, on Yun Qianyue. Having not seen her for two months, Yun Qianyue gave him an inexplicable feeling today; it was very strange, something he couldn't quite put into words.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Cai Yue'er announced: "The next lesson is Ice-Fire Body Tempering, and it will be taught by your homeroom teacher! Your participation grades will be calculated based on the length of time you can endure!"
