"You can feel it near here?!" said Lin Fan who was very surprised by Xiao Bing's words. He didn't expect that his journey to the One Strength Clan was the same as getting to where he wanted to be.
At first Lin Fan thought that he would have to go to the Spirit Beast forest to find it, and he went to the One Strength Clan first to find a trustworthy bodyguard before looking for it.
Of course he didn't want to look for it alone, moreover he didn't know if it was in a dangerous place or not.
"Xiao Bing, tell me! Which way did you feel that?!" asked the curious and excited Lin Fan. At least Lin Fan wanted to know, in which direction his Spirit Ring candidate was.
Xiao Bing also tried to feel the aura by closing her eyes, she also used Yin-Yang Essence to sharpen her senses.
After a few minutes, Xiao Bing opened her eyes while facing a direction in Heaven Dou City, "I think that's the direction," Xiao Bing said as she pointed with her finger.
Lin Fan looked at the direction Xiao Bing was pointing at, he realized that the one he was looking for was actually in Heaven Dou City!
With an excited face, Lin Fan turned to Tai San and asked something, "Grandpa, tell me! Over there! What are the famous facilities in Heaven Dou City?! I mean, facilities in the same direction as Xiao Bing pointed out!"
Tai San didn't know what Lin Fan wanted, but he also tried to remember what he asked, "Hmm... If I remember correctly, in that direction there are several public facilities or places. It seems that the closest one is the Botanic Academy, a little further away there is a branch of the Spirit Hall, then there is a playground, and the furthest away is the worst place to cultivate, the Heaven Dou Prison. Yeah, I guess that's all."
Lin Fan tried to think deeply about all the places Tai San mentioned, he was sure that what he was looking for was in one of those places.
Then Lin Fan realized something from one of those places, `Yes! This has something to do with the Evil Spirit Master I fought just now!`.
Lin Fan couldn't wait to get there, but he didn't want to rush into doing something, `Yeah, I have to be more patient. I have to prepare something before going there,`.
If Lin Fan's guess was correct, then he would definitely have a hard time getting into that place. Yet he still had means he could take advantage of, and that was Xiao Bing!
...
Of course, the first place that Lin Fan visited was the One Strength Clan.
Arriving at One Strength Clan, Lin Fan saw a fairly large gate with 'One Strength' written on it.
Lin Fan also saw quite a number of members of this clan, they seemed to have a burly body with big hand grips.
`As expected of the One Strength Clan, they all have the profession of Blacksmith,` thought Lin Fan as he checked all of them with the Library of Heaven's Path.
Almost all of the members of this clan have a Strength Attribute because of their Martial Spirit, they make good use of their strengths, making them well-suited to become blacksmiths.
When Lin Fan and the others arrived right in front of the One Strength Clan's gate, they were required to get off the wagon and walk to their destination.
When they just entered the gate, suddenly someone around 50 years old came to Tai San. He was a man with a stout and tall build, with a fierce looking face.
"Hello, Uncle Tai San. Do you want to deliver your product again?" said the man in a gentle tone. This was in stark contrast to his fierce looking face, making Lin Fan and the other children feel strange when they saw this person.
"Tai Huo? Nah, this time I brought more than the product itself," Tai San said with a proud smile as he looked at Lin Fan. Yes, he did not bring the product, but instead brought the one who created it.
Tai Huo, who greeted Tai San earlier, was confused by Tai San's words. But he wasn't curious in the slightest either, but instead was curious about the three children who were with him, "And them?"
Tai San didn't answer him at all, he just said, "Nah, maybe I should meet my little brother before telling you," while walking towards one of the buildings there.
When Tai San walked over, Lin Fan and the others also followed him. And during that time, Xiao Bing was very curious about everything she saw there.
"Wow! Big Brother, look! There are so many big uncles!" Xiao Bing said with glowing eyes.
Whereas Hei Yan looked envious at all the members of this clan, he was envious of their formidable looking muscles, "I wish I had muscles like them,".
When Hei Yan said that, Tai San heard him and laughed, "Hahaa! Son, you have to work hard to have muscles like them! Maybe you have to forge day and night to reach their level,"
"Forging? Is that the work of a slave?" asked the curious Hei Yan. As a child who sold himself into slavery, he didn't know much about this world.
Tai San shook his head with a smile as he looked at Lin Fan, "You should ask your Master what kind of job will be given to you later,"
Hearing Tai San's words, Hei Yan looked at Lin Fan with curious eyes. Then Lin Fan replied, "Well, with your Martial Spirit being a Hammer, of course the best job for you is to become a Blacksmith,"
"Ah.. A Hammer? This reminds me of a clan that has a Hammer too," said Tai San with a wry smile.
As they talked, they quickly reached a rather luxurious building. Tai San went straight into the building followed by Lin Fan and the others.
And when they walked for a while, they saw an elder with grizzled hair and beard. This elder also had hair that stood erect like needles right on top of his head.
However, what impressed Lin Fan was that this elder's face didn't look angry but gave off a strong impression.
`This elder has already reached Rank 80, a Spirit Douluo!` thought Lin Fan as he used the Library of Heaven's Path.
Of course Lin Fan knew who this elder was, he was Tai Tan, the leader of the One Strength Clan!
Tai Tan who saw Tai San coming also looked quite annoyed, "Big Brother, are you here asking us to help you sell your products again?"
"You know, I've been under a lot of pressure from those damn nobles because of your product! Damn, how dare they do this to us," Tai Tan continued as he clenched his fists.
Yes, Tai San is Tai Tan's big brother!
Hearing Tai Tan's chattering, Tai San shook his head with a sigh, "Haa.. Then you are lucky today, I didn't bring that product with me at the moment. Nah, but I brought something more valuable than that," he said while looked at Lin Fan.
"Hm? More valuable?" said Tai Tan as he looked at Lin Fan. He didn't quite understand why his Big Brother said 'more valuable' while looking at this kid.
However when Tai Tan took a closer look at Lin Fan, he suddenly felt a powerful force emitted by this child! Even though the force didn't have much effect on Tai Tan, he was surprised that it was from a child of around 7 years old!
"Big Brother, this girl is…" Tai Tan said to Tai San even though he was looking at Lin Fan.
"Pffft!"
Suddenly, Hei Yan who was watching from behind tried to hold back his laughter. He unintentionally wanted to laugh when others misunderstood Lin Fan's gender, even he felt better when he wasn't the only victim.
Meanwhile Lin Fan was annoyed with Tai Tan, and he became even more annoyed when he heard Hei Yan holding back his laughter. It's like they are mocking him, `I'm sick of this!`.
"I am a boy," said Lin Fan curtly with a gloomy face.
But who would have thought, Tai Tan didn't believe Lin Fan's words and said, "Hah, don't joke around here,"
Then, Xiao Bing asked curiously, "Why is Big Brother as a boy called a joke?"
"No, why are you joking too?" Tai Tan said as he looked at Xiao Bing.
"Little Brother, he really is a boy," Tai San explained to Tai Tan.
"You too?!" said Tai Tan who was frowning. He didn't know why his Big Brother was joking around with these kids.
But then he realized something, and looked at Lin Fan with a surprised face and an incredulous tone, "You're really a boy?!"
"..."
"Pffft!!"
"...."
