Chapter 1770: Returning to Tang Sect (Please Subscribe)_1

"But Xie Xie laughed and said, 'Wait a second, Wulin, you haven't told us where you're planning to go yet. You're not going to look for Gu Yue, are you?'"

"He knew all too well how gloomy Tang Wulin's face had been when he parted ways with Gu Yue!"

Tang Wulin was taken aback and pondered, "Gu Yue? I'm not even sure where she is now, plus my communicator was confiscated by the academy!"

Xie Xie also felt it made sense, "That's true, so where do you plan to go?"

After careful consideration, Tang Wulin replied, "Me? I'll probably start by observing the Tang Sect and improving my Fighter Level, then go back to the academy to retrieve my confiscated items, and finally, I'll visit President Zhenhua of the Blacksmith Association to consult on some matters.

"If all goes well, there's a chance I'll make the breakthrough to become a level-7 blacksmith! By then, we'll have the foundation for our Three-Word Battle Armor!"

During his time on Demon Island, both his physical ability and mental state had improved, so he could attempt to break through to become a level-7 blacksmith!

Hearing this, everyone showed complex expressions on their faces...

Xu Lizhi generously praised, "Wulin is planning to break through to a level-7 blacksmith so soon? That's amazing!"

Xu Xiaoyan expressed her joy, "Yeah, I also believe Wulin can definitely make it through. By then, there'll be no need to spend a huge amount to hire other blacksmiths!"

You should know that the materials alone for making a piece of Three-Word Battle Armor are incredibly expensive, not to mention the blacksmith's fee!

Ye Xinglan nodded slightly, "That's good, we're all still using One-Word Battle Armor; it's about time we upgraded. Go for it, Wulin!"

Yuanen Yehui hesitantly said, "If possible, I hope you can also make a piece for me. The Yuanen Clan will offer a fair price!"

Xie Xie put an arm around Yuanen Yehui, "Hey, Ye Hui, you're being too formal. What Wulin means is, if he successfully becomes a level-7 blacksmith, all we'd need to do is prepare the materials, and we won't have to worry about anything else, right, Wulin?"

Tang Wulin chuckled, "Right! We're all companions, and making equipment is no big deal, but the prerequisite is that you prepare your own materials!"

He wasn't exactly wealthy himself, gathering the materials needed for his own Three-Word Battle Armor would be fortunate enough!

Yuanen Yehui gratefully said, "Then, thank you very much."

After that, she gave Xie Xie a cold glance, "Xie Xie, let go of your hand, or I won't mind breaking it off!"

Xie Xie sulkily withdrew his hand, but deep down, he was pleased that Yuanen Yehui didn't scold him!

It meant that their intimacy had grown much stronger than before!

Tang Wulin waved his hand, "Alright, let's leave it at that for now. Everyone, take care on your way!"

And so, they parted ways for the time being...

Tang Wulin, left alone, suddenly felt an emptiness inside; maybe, he had grown accustomed to having companions around.

Shaking his head, he sighed, "Well, first things first, off to the Tang Sect. I suppose with so much time passed, it should have made considerable progress by now!"

With that, he boarded the nearest Soul Guidance Train to the new location of the Tang Sect...

Upon his arrival, what met his eyes was the majestic inscription "Tang Sect"!

The surrounding grand buildings were by no means inferior to the Tang Sect of old!

This made him marvel, "Their development capability really is frightening, considering just a few years ago they suffered an event that was almost catastrophic!"

After entering the Tang Sect, he saw many Soul Masters and disciples of the Tang Sect conducting transactions; the place was bustling...

However, he wasn't interested in delving into that right now; his first step was to find the way to Battle Soul Hall.

Of course, he was unsurprisingly stopped...

"Halt, this area is the forbidden zone of the Battle Soul Hall, outsiders are not allowed to enter at will!"

The one speaking was a Yellow-class Fighter responsible for guarding the place...

Tang Wulin apologized, "Sorry, I'm a Fighter too, just not in my Fighter's attire. Please, could you make an exception?"

Damn it, he had actually forgotten about this rule for entering the Battle Soul Hall!

The yellow-class Fighter said sternly, "No, without the appropriate Fighter attire, one is considered a non-Fighter!"

Seeing that entry to the Battle Soul Hall was impossible, Tang Wulin felt regretful, "I see... It looks like this trip was for nothing!"

Just then, an authoritative voice rang out, "Stop right there!"

Tang Wulin halted in his steps, casting a puzzled glance...

The newcomer wore a red mask, unmistakably, a Red Class Fighter!

The yellow-class Fighter beside him greeted the newcomer with respect, "Hall Master!"

The Red Class Fighter gazed intently at Tang Wulin, exuding a terrifying oppressive aura, "You must be Tang Wulin, right?"

Tang Wulin responded with some surprise, "Yes, that's me, but who are you??"

This Red Class powerhouse actually recognized him. Could it be someone he knew?

"It seems I'm not mistaken," said the Red Class Fighter as he took off his mask to reveal a familiar face!

It was none other than Hall Master Guo of the Battle Soul Hall, Guo Xiaoxu!

Tang Wulin exclaimed in shock, "Hall Master Guo, it's you? How do you know me?"

While it was normal for him to know the other party, he had never expected the other party to recognize him too, especially since they had no interaction!

Guo Xiaoxu smiled slightly, "The Sea God Pavilion Master once mentioned you in front of us Hall Masters, so I have some impression. Follow me inside."

A student mentioned by the Sea God Pavilion Master in front of them surely couldn't be of ordinary stature!

So he paid a bit more attention!

Tang Wulin's face showed a sudden understanding, followed by a hint of embarrassment, "But, Hall Master Guo, I... don't have my Fighter attire with me."

Guo Xiaoxu dismissed the concern with a wave of his hand, "No matter, with your current strength, it's about time for you to advance in rank and change your attire!"

With that, the two of them entered the Battle Soul Hall...

The yellow-class Fighter naturally did not dare to stop them and bowed his head as if he had seen nothing!

Rules were rules, but their application depended on the person in question!

…

Guo Xiaoxu glanced at Tang Wulin and asked absentmindedly, "I heard that the Sea God Pavilion Master sent you for military training, how did it go?"

Tang Wulin replied, "Thanks to your concern, Hall Master Guo, my companions and I have successfully passed the test!"

Guo Xiaoxu said softly, "Is that so, congratulations then!"

Seeing that the other party was approachable, Tang Wulin attempted to inquire, "Um... Hall Master Guo, I noticed that the whole Tang Sect seems busy, has something happened?"

Guo Xiaoxu's expression darkened, "Mm... Just ten days ago, there was an explosion in Tiandou City. It's said to have been caused by several dozen fifth-level Soul Guide Shells, resulting in significant casualties!"

Tang Wulin also spoke seriously, "Does that mean that the ones who released these cannonballs could potentially be evil Soul Masters?"

Guo Xiaoxu did not deny it, "Mm, the first suspects that all forces thought of were indeed the evil Soul Masters. And it's speculated that this attack is possibly a sign of their resurgence!"
