Chapter 5 Haotian Hammer
Whether one's mental strength is high or low is irrelevant, since under normal circumstances, there won't be any geniuses with exceptionally high mental strength.
Yun Mu followed Tang Wulin into a side room.
The spirit master gestured, and Tang Wulin sat on a metal chair. A metal helmet slowly descended and covered Tang Wulin's head.
A soft buzzing sound was heard, and a white light shone from the helmet.
Yun Mu also walked to a soul-guided screen and looked at the numbers on it with the spirit master.
My mental strength is stuck at 41.
Yun Mu was surprised to find that his mental strength was actually higher than when he was at level ten!
After Tang Wulin finished his test, the Spirit Master asked Yun Mu to sit down for another test. The Spirit Master asked curiously, "What level is your soul power?"
"I've already absorbed the soul," Yun Mu said calmly.
The spirit medium thought about it and then realized it was normal.
Then he was made to sit in a chair, and after the same amount of time as Tang Wulin, the results came out.
The spirit master was completely dumbfounded. How could this be? How could someone reach the Spiritual Realm at the age of seven!
Moreover, it's at the intermediate level of the Spirit Realm, 341!
How is that possible? A seven-year-old child with such high mental strength, could he be a Soul Master with a mental attribute?
However, the Spirit Master ultimately didn't ask. He didn't think this Soul Master seemed interested in joining the Spirit Tower, and asking would only offend him.
As for why a genius won't join the Spirit Pagoda? What's it to him?
Anyway, even if he applies for genius status, the final reward he receives is only a tiny bit, so why bother?
It's better to sell a couple more soul spirits to earn more money from the effort. The commission from selling a hundred-year-old soul spirit is much higher than the commission from applying for a genius title.
The spirit medium respectfully said to Yun Mu, "Congratulations, young friend, your spiritual power has reached 341, and you have reached the Spiritual Connection Realm."
"Thank you!" Yun Mu said with a smile.
The three of them came out of the room, and the spirit master led them to a room next door, which was much larger than the room for testing spiritual power.
The room contained a highly sophisticated instrument that preserved one yellow soul after another.
"This is probably a 400-year-old Mandragora Serpent, and the one next to it is a 400-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider. These two should be the most suitable spirits for the Blue Silver Grass spirit." After inquiring about Tang Wulin's spirit, the spirit master introduced him to two spirits commonly paired with Blue Silver Grass.
"I want the Mandragora Snake," Tang Wulin said after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, wait a moment," the spirit medium said with a smile.
Soon, the three of them returned home after purchasing the spirits.
Tang Wulin played with the hundred-year-old spirit inside the spirit ball. The hundred-year-old spirit was actually quite intelligent and could even interact with Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin and Tang Ziran were both very happy. The three of them looked at the soul spirit with curiosity, preparing to go home and absorb it.
Yun Mu patted Tang Wulin's head, and had to admit that his arrival had caused quite a few changes.
Yun Mu looked at the Spirit Pagoda getting further and further away and sighed. The Spirit Pagoda had ultimately gone astray. Or rather, the existence of the Spirit Pagoda not only failed to change the plight of soul beasts, but also made it impossible for soul masters from ordinary families to buy suitable soul spirits.
In the past, you could simply hunt soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest or the Star Dou Great Forest. Although it was somewhat dangerous, there was a chance of winning. But now, you need to have money first.
But how could a family that isn't a Soul Master possibly afford to buy a Soul Spirit?
Upon returning home, Tang Wulin couldn't wait to absorb the hundred-year-old soul spirit and break through to the Soul Master realm.
During the fusion of the century-old soul spirit, Tang Wulin still received a reaction from the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, but it was not as intense or uncomfortable as in his previous life.
It's a very slow fusion that makes you feel incredibly comfortable, as if you're being reborn.
After sensing a powerful aura, Yun Mu immediately rushed to Tang Wulin's side. He released his Life Sword, and his martial soul slowly used a portion of its life force to inject into Tang Wulin's body.
The spirit naturally merged into it, and the Blue Silver Grass seemed to be stained with gold, while the Mandala Snake also seemed to have undergone a change.
In a corner unnoticed by anyone, a consciousness named Lao Tang was now tightly bound by even thicker white chains.
Beside him was a wisp of the Golden Dragon King's divine consciousness, who seemed to be mocking Old Tang.
Tang Wulin felt that his soul power should have broken through to level 13 at this moment.
By this time, it was completely dark.
Tang Wulin released his first martial soul, and curiously reached up to touch the yellow spirit ring on it, only to find that he couldn't touch it at all.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Mang Tian and Tang Ziran were chatting and laughing when Lang Yue knocked on the door.
Tang Wulin and Yun Mu left their bedroom.
Tang Ziran said with a smile, "Wu Lin, release your hammer martial spirit."
Tang Wulin nodded obediently, and a dark hammer appeared in his left hand.
Mang Tian was utterly shocked, speechless. "This, this, is the Haotian Hammer!"
"I'll take care of this child, and I can also take care of the other child." A hint of fanaticism flashed in Mang Tian's eyes.
If he were a blacksmith with a hammer spirit, what would he be most curious about?
It was once the world's number one weapon spirit, the Haotian Hammer.
I never expected to see this legendary martial spirit in my friend's child.
"So what is your first martial soul?"
"Blue Silver Grass," Tang Wulin said obediently.
"Blue Silver Grass, Haotian Hammer, why does this setup seem so familiar?" Mang Tian felt as if his brain had been pierced. Wasn't this the setup of the one who became a god 20,000 years ago?
"And what about yours?"
Seeing Mang Tian turn his attention to him, Yun Mu smiled and said, "My martial spirit is the Sword of Life."
However, he did not release his martial spirit.
Mang Tian nodded and said, "Not bad. The Life Martial Soul will be helpful for the legendary Spirit Forging in the future. Alright, these two children will come to my place for training on Saturday and Sunday."
He patted Tang Wulin on the head and Yun Mu on the shoulder before leaving.
After Mang Tian left, Tang Ziran looked at the small hammer in Tang Wulin's hand with a look of surprise.
"Wu Lin, could your Blue Silver Grass be the Blue Silver Emperor?" Tang Ziran asked excitedly.
At this moment, he was incredibly grateful to his father for choosing to continue as a mecha designer; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to give his son the best option.
As for his other son, although he couldn't buy a soul spirit for Xiao Yunmu, he would definitely find other ways to make up for it.
At least in this respect, the two sons should be treated equally, and the parents' confusion should not cause the children to have a bad relationship.
Looking at the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Wulin's hand, Yun Mu was quite curious whether Tang Wulin, with the Clear Sky Hammer, would go further on the path of forging.
