Background / History
Tang Wulin attends East Sea City Intermediate Soul Master Academy's Class Five, where he becomes Xie Xie's close friend. He reluctantly helps Xie Xie attempt to prank Fang Yuan, resulting in both boys being punished with ten laps by Wu Zhangkong. 10

After obtaining resources from Fang Yuan and the Blacksmith's Association, Tang Wulin unlocks the first seal of the Golden Dragon King. The breakthrough grants him the Golden Dragon Claw and improves his physical strength and resilience. 26 27
