Chapter 70

After entering a focused state, Tang Wulin was particularly clear-headed. He knew very well that if he retreated, his left-hand hammer would not be able to reach the teacher.

Therefore, he suddenly let go of the left-hand hammer, allowing it to fly out of his hand, heading straight for Wu Changkong.

Wu Changkong casually flicked the wooden sword in his hand and struck horizontally at Tang Wulin's left-hand hammer.

Wu Changkong's soul beast was originally a sword, and he pursued the realm of breaking all laws with one sword. Therefore, regardless of the enemy's attack or who the enemy was, he relied only on his sword.

However, this time he was at a disadvantage.

The hammer and sword collided, and Wu Changkong felt a considerable force transmitted through the wooden sword in his hand. Although it could not compare to his own strength, he had not released his soul beast and had only used a small part of his soul power. He immediately found that his wooden sword could hardly withstand it.

Before he could inject more soul power, two more forces came from the wooden sword.

"Crack!" The wooden sword broke, and the thousand-forged silver hammer ruthlessly headed toward his head.

Wu Changkong's figure flashed, avoiding the thousand-forged silver hammer.

The seemingly small forging hammer hit the ground, producing a loud boom, which startled Xie Xi and Gu Yue, who were preparing to come to his aid.

Tang Wulin actually forced back Teacher Wu and even broke his wooden sword?

Tang Wulin quickly retreated a few steps, holding the silver hammer in his right hand in front of his chest.

Wu Changkong stopped and was somewhat stunned. He had already understood that there was something peculiar about Tang Wulin's hammer.

"Stop!" He raised his hand, stopping Gu Yue and Xie Xi, who were about to continue attacking.

Xie Xi looked at Tang Wulin with a strange expression, then at the gray hammer on the ground that he had never seen before. For a moment, he felt a wave of fear.

When they first fought, if he had used this hammer to hit him after entangling him...

Tang Wulin hurriedly ran over, picked up his three hammers, and put them back into the silver ring.

"Your hammer is peculiar." Wu Changkong looked at him with doubt.

Tang Wulin said, "This is a silver hammer, which is heavier than a regular forging hammer."

"How heavy is it? Let me see." Xie Xi was very interested in the hammer that could break Teacher Wu's wooden sword and quickly ran over to grab the thousand-forged silver hammer from Tang Wulin's hand.

"Clang!" The silver hammer fell to the ground the moment it left Tang Wulin's hand, and the inertia caused Xie Xi to fall flat on his face.

"Ouch!" Xie Xi cried out in pain, "What is this thing? Why is it so heavy?"

Wu Changkong walked over, picked up the thousand-forged silver hammer, and was also moved. No wonder his wooden sword was broken; the weight of this hammer...

Tang Wulin said, "Each one weighs about 150 kilograms."

Wu Changkong said, "There were three forces transmitted from it just now. Was that your control, or something else?"

Tang Wulin hesitated for a moment and said, "It's the hammer's own ability. After a thousand forges, some uncertain effects are produced. My silver hammer has one called 'stacked hammer.'"

Although Wu Changkong did not understand forging, he could see the value of the thousand-forged silver hammer. He nodded slightly and said, "You have a talent for forging? I investigated, and the Mu Xi who challenged you today is the daughter of the president of the Forging Association in Donghai City."

"Um, I am a forger." Thinking of the treatment he received from the Forging Association, Tang Wulin felt much better.

A thoughtful look appeared in Wu Changkong's eyes. He raised his hand and said to Tang Wulin, "Come, hold my hand."

Tang Wulin held his hand. Wu Changkong's hand was large, with long, strong fingers, somewhat cold, but not rough at all.

"Use your full strength to pull me, so I can feel how strong you are." Wu Changkong said.

"Okay." Tang Wulin responded, took a deep breath, and used his strength to pull.

Wu Changkong was prepared this time, standing there like a nail, completely still.

Tang Wulin's face gradually turned red from exerting his full strength. Although Wu Changkong did not move, the faint soul power fluctuations around him showed that he was not so relaxed and needed to use soul power to support himself to avoid being pulled by Tang Wulin.

"Enough." After a moment, Wu Changkong called a stop.

Tang Wulin then released his strength.

A strange look flashed across Wu Changkong's cold face, and he patted Tang Wulin's shoulder, "You three will fight together in the class promotion match. Your strength can reach this level, so our tactics will be interesting."

When Tang Wulin and Xie Xi returned to the dormitory, they were already exhausted. They could hardly sit cross-legged and enter a meditative state, let alone forge.

Starting from the next day, Tang Wulin was specially approved to not participate in physical training. The reason was simple: in Wu Changkong's view, his physical strength was better than Tang Wulin's, and ordinary training was of no use to a talent like Tang Wulin. It was better to use the time for other training.

What Tang Wulin had to do was not easy either, and that was to control the blue silver grass.

The other students in Class 5 of Grade 1 finally couldn't hold out after the third day of physical training and collapsed in large numbers. From that day on, the schedule returned to morning physical training and afternoon theory classes.

With only half a day of physical training, the students felt much more relaxed and no one complained.

Tang Wulin, Xie Xi, and Gu Yue underwent a mental power test, and the results were astonishing. Xie Xi's mental power was 29, which was already a very good score for his age, approaching the mid-level of the Lingyuan realm. Tang Wulin's mental power was 44, directly reaching the mid-level of the Lingyuan realm, but he did not mention that his last test was only 38. His mental power had improved significantly in such a short time.

Their mental power had already brought some surprises to Wu Changkong, but compared to Gu Yue, they were not particularly noticeable.

Gu Yue's mental power was as high as 119, far beyond the Lingyuan realm.

In the hierarchy of mental power, the initial stage is the Lingyuan realm. When the mental power test value exceeds 100, it directly enters another level called the Lingtong realm.

The Lingtong realm means that the mind is spiritually connected, and the will reaches the thought. Reaching the Lingtong realm, the control of mental power begins to be mastered, and one can truly use their mental power for their own purposes, capable of carrying two yellow soul spirits or one purple soul spirit.

Wu Changkong thus confirmed that Gu Yue's soul beast, the elemental master, was likely a rare mental-type soul beast, communicating with elements through powerful mental power and using them for her own purposes.

Mental-type soul masters are the most scarce and most popular in the current world because they are the most compatible with mechs. This made Wu Changkong value Gu Yue even more.

Of course, the intensity of the training would not differ. The more he was valued by the cold and handsome man, the greater the training load.

After a week, Tang Wulin did not have time to go to Mang Tian's studio and, of course, could not complete his forging task.
