Checking In at the Blacksmith Shop, Generous Rewards

Tang San had just opened his mouth when Xiao Wu interrupted him without a moment's hesitation.

That incredibly blunt attitude shocked everyone in Dorm Seven.

Xiao Wu was usually very kind and loyal to the others.

But why was she so hostile toward Tang San?

Could it be that Tang San had provoked her somewhere?

That made sense!

Although they had been roommates for a semester, they didn't really know much about Tang San.

They only knew he was the disciple of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang and a very arrogant person.

He didn't usually communicate with them, acting like a lone wolf.

However, the guy seemed quite impressive; he already possessed his first soul ring and was an official Spirit Master.

Perhaps it was because he was already an official Spirit Master that he was so proud.

He seemed to look down on people a bit.

He spent his days acting deep for no reason, which made him hard to understand.

So, it was possible he had offended Xiao Wu at some point, which was why she was so repulsed by him.

Tang San was even more bewildered at this moment.

Over the course of the semester, he hadn't really had any interaction with Xiao Wu.

What was going on now?

Why was her attitude toward him so terrible?

Too many questions left Tang San feeling lost; were girls' thoughts really this hard to guess?

"Xiao Wu, is there some kind of misunderstanding between us?"

Tang San asked cautiously.

The moment he was scolded, his heart ached inexplicably.

It was an incredibly uncomfortable feeling.

"There's no misunderstanding, I just don't like the look of you."

"If you don't get lost now, don't blame Big Sister Xiao Wu for hitting you!"

As she spoke, she raised her fist.

Lin Ye's inner voice had already exposed that Tang San was a little scumbag.

Although she didn't know why he was defined as a little scumbag, there had to be a reason for it.

He possessed the ability to foresee the future, so perhaps he already knew some things about Tang San.

She detested scumbags.

If Tang San really acted arrogantly, she would definitely not let him off.

[Xiao Wu's soul power isn't enough right now; she'd definitely be at a disadvantage if they really fought.]

[Tang San also has poison and hidden weapons; there's a high probability Xiao Wu would lose.]

[Unless her soul power increases by a few more levels, she basically has no chance.]

Lin Ye was very clear about this in his heart.

Tang San was currently just burying himself in cultivation.

In half a year, his soul power had likely reached around level fifteen.

After absorbing the Datura Snake, his soul power had jumped directly to level thirteen.

It was normal for it to reach level fifteen in half a year.

After all, he was a cheat-code king.

For someone who used cheats at the drop of a hat, cultivation progress would be much faster.

Xiao Wu's soul power was about the same as Tang San's right now.

In a serious fight, Xiao Wu would definitely be at a disadvantage.

Hearing Lin Ye's inner voice, Xiao Wu felt a bit awkward.

She couldn't actually beat Tang San?

She could understand the poison, but what were hidden weapons?

She had never even heard of them.

Whatever, she had to cultivate, she absolutely had to cultivate!

She couldn't beat Lin Ye in Dorm Seven, but she absolutely could not let anyone else surpass her.

Once her cultivation improved, she would definitely give Tang San a good beating.

She would make sure he knew that being a scumbag wasn't as easy as he thought.

If Tang San knew what she was thinking right now, he would probably cry out in injustice.

How was he a scumbag?

Unfortunately, as far as Xiao Wu was concerned, even if she wrongly accused one, she wouldn't let a single one go.

As for Lin Ye, she trusted him quite a bit now.

Could someone who came from Heavenly Sword Village really be that bad?

Seeing that Xiao Wu was very resistant toward him, Tang San could only choose to back off for now and look for new opportunities to get close later.

After the afternoon classes ended, Lin Ye wandered around the city.

He suddenly remembered that there was a place he could check in at.

The Nuoding City Blacksmith Shop.

Tang San was a work-study student; besides doing tasks for the academy, he also worked part-time at the blacksmith shop.

It was precisely in this blacksmith shop that his forging skills were enhanced.

He had also managed to acquire quite a few materials for forging hidden weapons there.

Therefore, the blacksmith shop was a very important place for Tang San.

Choosing to check in here definitely wouldn't be a mistake.

"Lin Ye, why are we at the blacksmith shop?"

Xiao Wu was full of question marks. The blacksmith shop was very noisy, and the heat waves were oppressive, making it a bit uncomfortable.

"Nothing, just looking around."

Lin Ye shook his head. Xiao Wu had insisted on following him out, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"System, check in!"

He recited it silently in his heart, and the system's notification sound followed.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in at the Nuoding City Blacksmith Shop. Reward: Max-level Forging Skill, Complete Hidden Weapon Compendium, 30,000-year Spirit Wisdom Skull Bone!]

He had indeed received the rewards, and he even got a 30,000-year spirit bone.

Furthermore, it was an extremely rare wisdom skull bone.

This wave of rewards was definitely worth it.

The max-level forging skill was both a form of knowledge and a capability.

At this moment, his forging skills were absolutely at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent.

Then there was the Complete Hidden Weapon Compendium.

The so-called Complete Hidden Weapon Compendium was not limited to Tang Sect hidden weapons, but involved the heavens and myriad worlds.

All knowledge regarding hidden weapons was branded into his mind as if it had always been there.

This made him sigh to himself.

Tang San's hidden weapon ability, which he took such pride in, would probably have to be thrown down the drain.

The Complete Hidden Weapon Compendium was not just about the crafting of hidden weapons, but also the methods to counter them!

The system's rewards this time were truly interesting.

He would have to find time to absorb the spirit bone.

He estimated that after absorbing it, his spirit power would increase quite a bit.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing him standing there blankly, Xiao Wu couldn't help but poke his arm.

"Ah? Oh, nothing, just thinking about some things."

"There's nothing to see here, let's go back to the academy."

"We're going back already?"

Xiao Wu's mouth twitched. They had just run over here to take a look at the blacksmith shop?

He was truly bored!

The two returned to the academy, and Lin Ye quickly found a spot to take out the wisdom skull bone.

According to the system's introduction, this wisdom skull bone could grant immunity to the mental attacks of a seven-ring Spirit Saint.

In addition, it had skills such as Mental Enhancement.

Mental Enhancement could assist mental-type spirit skills, achieving an amplification effect.

There was also an attack skill, Mental Shock.

Below the five-ring level, a single wave could turn someone into a fool.

Even a five-ring Spirit King, if struck by Mental Shock, would experience a brief moment of distraction and suffer mental trauma.

But there was another, even more important function.

Illusion!

The so-called Illusion was to block others' probing and hide one's own aura and origin.

Even a Titled Douluo would be unable to detect it.

This function was a passive skill; as long as the spirit bone was absorbed, the skill would remain in effect.

"System, are you sure this wasn't prepared for Xiao Wu?"

Lin Ye was somewhat speechless.

The directionality was too strong!

Especially this passive skill, Illusion; it was practically tailor-made for Xiao Wu.

After complaining to the system in his heart for a good while, he temporarily put the spirit bone away.

In his hands, the role this spirit bone could play was not very significant.

Then he would just find a time and a suitable excuse to let Xiao Wu obtain this spirit bone.

Speaking of which, had that guy Tang Hao appeared yet?

Had he already discovered Xiao Wu's identity?

He was very curious about this point.

Now that Xiao Wu had not developed any relationship with Tang San, if Tang Hao discovered her, would he let her go?

That was hard to say!

At this stage, Tang San might not have discovered Xiao Wu's true identity yet.

Giving the spirit bone to Xiao Wu to use was still necessary.

But how should he give it to her?

How vexing~

Should he have someone from the village give it to her?

As long as it was a gift from a villager, Xiao Wu certainly wouldn't be suspicious.
