Extra Chapter 94

What did the forging techniques for Spiritual Metal mean to Tai Tan?

Tai Tan was not like Lou Gao, who treated raising the status of blacksmiths as his life's creed, even to the point where he could sacrifice his own life for it. But to Tai Tan, the identity of a blacksmith was the label he valued most apart from being Clan Leader of the Strength Clan.

That was why, when Young Master of Clear Sky Sect Tang Hao was willing to learn forging and did not feel ashamed of being a blacksmith, Tai Tan had sincerely called him "master."

That was why, when Spiritual Metal powerful enough to lead a transformation of the blacksmith profession appeared before his eyes, Tai Tan immediately threw the trouble Tang Chuan might be carrying to the back of his mind and chose to communicate with him further.

Twin Spirits? A ten-thousand-year fourth ring? A twelve-year-old Four Ring Soul Ancestor? Combat Power closing in on a Five-Ring Soul King?

Even though these labels were enough to draw the attention of every force on Douluo Continent, and might then bring all sorts of unknown trouble, Tai Tan chose to ignore them all.

Of course, it was only communication—or rather, a transaction—not inviting Tang Chuan to join the Strength Clan as he had originally planned.

If Tang Chuan were only an ordinary genius, then relying on his own strength as an Eight Ring Soul Douluo, as well as the Strength Clan, and even the combined power of the other three sects of the Single Attribute Four Sects, Tai Tan could absolutely have snatched him up first right under the noses of Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the other powers.

Unfortunately, Tang Chuan's genius had surpassed Tai Tan's expectations.
