Tang Wulin said, "I want to practice Qianjian more and get better returns from it. Then I can save money to buy a soul core. Also, I can eat some better food in the academy. My appetite is too big, and those foods that are good for my body cost a lot..."

Máng looked at the disciple before him, who seemed to have grown a few inches taller in the past three months. A soft light gradually appeared in his eyes.

He let out a soft sigh and said, "Perhaps, I was wrong. In fact, when you completed the Thousand Forging Silver Immersion, you already qualified as a Level 3 blacksmith. Your soul power isn't strong enough, but your divine energy compensates for that aspect. Especially since you can focus your mind to enter the forging state at such a young age, feeling the life of metal, is truly precious."

“The reason I didn't rush to make you a level 3 blacksmith is twofold: first, I was afraid that if you excelled too quickly, it would attract unwanted attention. Second, and more importantly, I was afraid that your natural talent might lead to arrogance and ultimately ruin your future. But I forgot, whether as a Soul Master or a Blacksmith, advancement to higher levels requires vast resources, and you can only rely on yourself for those. I was selfish.”

Tang Wulin stared at his teacher, who was lost in thought, "Teacher, so you agree to me taking the Level 3 Blacksmithing Master exam"

Meng Dian shook his head, "Join us. Since my disciple is a peerless talent in the forging world, there's no reason why you shouldn't shine brightly."

Having received his teacher's approval, Tang Wulin was overjoyed. "Thank you, Teacher, thank you, Teacher," he said excitedly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

With a grave expression, he solemnly said, "Don't get too excited just yet. I must remind you that becoming a Level 3 blacksmith means you've officially entered the ranks of masters in this field. I will have the association keep your identity confidential for now. When you come to the association, try to remain low-key as much as possible. Do not become arrogant or complacent because you've achieved the status of a master smith. If I find out otherwise, I won't go easy on you."

"Yes, Teacher!" Tang Wulin hurriedly and respectfully agreed.

"Dance Spirit, I've been stuck at the Sixth Level Soul Master and couldn't advance to the Holy Craftsman level. It wasn't because I didn't work hard enough or that my talent was insufficient. It was because I lacked the soul power sufficient to support the Holy Craftsman level. In our Douluo Continent, over the past ten thousand years, soul guide technology has developed rapidly into a modern form. Gradually, the absolute advantage that Soul Masters originally possessed has disappeared. Even ordinary people can use most soul guides and possess powerful combat strength through them. Soul guides have completely changed the entire continent."

“But, I must tell you, our Douluo Continent is still based on the development of Soul Masters. So, no matter what profession it is, when it reaches its highest level, Soul Power and Soul Master Rank will still play a decisive role. Just like a God-Level Mechanist needs to have strength above eight rings and at least become a Soul Grandmaster to reach that level. Our blacksmiths are the same. Without a Seven Ring Martial Spirit True Body, thoroughly comprehending one's own Martial Spirit cultivation, it is impossible to enter the Holy Artisan level. And this is precisely the problem I face, making it impossible for me to become a Holy Artisan in this lifetime. This is also why after you came to East Sea City, your teacher didn’t have strict requirements for your forging, but hoped that you could improve your Soul Power cultivation. Even if you regenerate divine power, when you reach the fifth-level Grandmaster level, you will still need strong mental and soul power support, so you must work hard to cultivate. Don't be stingy with money, eat more of the food beneficial to cultivation provided by the academy.”

"Yes!"

Meng Ping didn't usually talk this much. Looking at the emotions in his teacher's eyes, Tang Wulin also felt a slight tightness in his heart. Although he was still young, he was at least currently inferior to his peers in terms of soul power cultivation. To become a powerful Soul Master, how easy would that be He could only put in more effort to pursue it.

Maang reached into his bosom and pulled out a piece of paper resembling a letter, handing it to Tang Wulin. “I have one more thing to do this time, give you this letter. It was written by your father.”

"Huh Why didn't Dad send me a soul communication" Tang Wulin had been so busy cultivating and improving himself that he hadn't contacted home in over a week.

"Look," Mang's eyes held a profound meaning as she looked at him, nodding slightly.

Tang Wulin seemed to have a premonition of something, and hastily tore open the letter.

The letter contained two cards and a letter.

Tang Wulin first took out the letter, and on it was his father's familiar handwriting.

"My dear Wulin, by the time you receive this letter, your father and mother will have gone to a very distant place.

Your father has always been selfish. In order to live a peaceful life for himself, he made you suffer so much, even the soul you looked forward to together could only choose the worst, most useless one.

That night, Dad cried like a little child. It's because Dad wasn't capable enough to help you, making you start learning blacksmithing at such a young age. Although I don't regret this, Dad is very sorry for putting you through so much hardship.

Actually, Dad is a mecha designer. Years ago, because of a design blueprint, he was targeted by some forces who wanted to control him. Dad chose to escape, taking Mom to Aolai City. They lived in seclusion ever since, becoming ordinary people. But it seems ordinary life doesn't suit me. For you, Dad is willing to return to his old profession. The two cards in the envelope, one is your identity card, and the other is a bank card that is valid throughout the continent. It contains the living expenses given by the forces who wanted Dad to be a designer, one million. Just enough for you to buy a century-old soul spirit.

Dad can only do this much right now. When Dad earns more money, he will also put it on this card for you. Child, your destiny is to reach the peak. Don't look back, just move forward. Remember what Dad said, in this world, the only person you can rely on is yourself. Dad believes that with your strength and ability, you will definitely be able to reach the peak.

Don't look for us, we won't contact you until we are absolutely sure it's safe. Your soul communicator code, Dad knows. When we settle down, Dad will find you.

"Dad, Mom loves you, always will."

When Tang Wulin saw the first sentence of this letter, his whole heart felt a little tight. His father's words were normal, but between the lines, they were full of love for him.

"Dad, Mom!" Tang Wulin suddenly shouted and turned to run outside.

But in the next moment, he bumped into Mang's body, which was as solid as a copper wall and iron gate.

"Mo grabbed his shoulders, "They're fine, just temporarily away. Wulin, you have to be strong!"

Tears flowed uncontrollably from Tang Wulin's eyes. It was all for himself, for his own sake, for the money. His parents had left because of him.

At this moment, three months of longing surged through him like a tidal wave, clutching the letter tightly, he was sobbing uncontrollably.ndred and fifteen thousand contribution points 。Except for the first line, the rest are astronomical numbers! Even the 40,000 contribution points in the first line is something that Tang Wulin now can...
