Tang Wulin

Biodata

Background

Tang Wulin attended Red Mountain Junior Soul Master Academy in Aolai City. His innate third-rank soul power placed him in a different class from Lin Yu, though they studied on the same floor and could still encounter one another around the academy. Lin Yu initially chose to ignore him rather than provoke a conflict. 6

In Lin Yu's account, Tang Wulin—not Lin Yu—was the one who saved Na'er. 8

By the time he reached Eastsea Academy, Tang Wulin had developed notable forging talent. Lin Yu recognized the sounds of his Hundred Refinements work at the Eastsea Forging Masters Association before meeting him there directly. 21
