MTL - I Don’t Have a Soul Skill, I’ll Cut Down the Douluo-Chapter 7
Dingding, before approaching, Lin Manshan could hear a rhythmic beating.
The hammer sign, the adobe-stacked outer wall, approached and looked inward, several houses built of bricks and wood were side by side, and the forging room connected to the chimney was shining with sparks.
Several blacksmiths are cooperating in beating, and not far away is a wooden frame full of various irons.
This is a small blacksmith shop, but it has everything you need.
Lin Manshan walked straight in and walked towards the forging table.
"Children, it's dangerous, stop and don't approach!" Seeing Lin Manshan walking towards the forging room, a burly shirtless man beside the wooden frame who was communicating with the customer hurried over, frowning slightly and looking down at Lin Manshan who had stopped and turned around , "What about your lord? Didn't they tell you that the forging room near the blacksmith's shop is dangerous?"
In this kind of civilian gathering area, it is true that there are many children who buy iron tools, but it is rare for such a young age. The temperature of the forging furnace in the forging room is extremely high, and there are many debris around. The child is too young and ignorant, and the consequences of accidentally falling into it are unimaginable.
Moreover, the child in front of him is still wearing the school uniform of Notting College. If something goes wrong, their blacksmith shop can't afford it. "Could it be that a phoenix has emerged from the grass nest? How can there be students of Notting College in such a place."
The man was frightened and couldn't help thinking.
"Hello, uncle!" Lin Manshan greeted politely and said seriously, "I'm here to apply for an apprenticeship."
"Children, don't make trouble. This isn't the place you should be here. Depending on your age and your outfit, you should be a student who has just joined Nordin College, right? It's a great thing to be a soul master, hurry up. Go back. Study hard and become a real soul master as soon as possible." The man smiled, his tone soft. He could tell that the child in front of him was born as a commoner like him, and he should be short of money, otherwise he would not have come to such a place to apply for a blacksmith apprenticeship.
Blacksmithing is the lowest occupation on the mainland, and people with even the slightest status despise it.
"Uncle, my martial arts is a knife. The teacher said that if you want to use this martial arts well, you need to exercise your arm and waist strength. I feel that blacksmithing is a good way to not only exercise your body, but also make money." Lin Manshan pointed out He came with a sincere tone, "In addition, I am very strong. I have watched the blacksmiths in the village cast iron since I was a child. Although I still can't cast iron, it is still no problem to temper pig iron."
"Uncle, if you don't believe me, I can temper a piece of pig iron on the spot right now for you to see. Besides, I'm a working student in the college, and I have time every afternoon."
The man was stunned when he heard it. He felt that what Lin Manshan said was quite reasonable. Blacksmithing is a physical task. You work more and eat more, and he really exercises a person's waist and arm strength. Look at the guys at home, Which one isn't big in the waist and strong in the hips?
However, such a small child, can the forging hammer move? Still tempering pig iron?
"Boss, why don't you let this kid try it." The blacksmiths in the forging room also stopped their movements at this time, and chatted with interest.
One of the blacksmiths looked at the man, nodded slightly, and slowly stepped forward with a forging hammer.
"Kid, if you can swing this forging hammer in my hand, I'll let you try it."
"Mmmm." Lin Manshan nodded quickly, his right hand quickly took the hammer from the blacksmith's hand and waved it up and down easily.
"Good guy, you can swing it with one hand."
"It's not the same when a martial soul has soul power. A child has such great strength."
"This is the seedling of a dry blacksmith by birth."
"..." In the forging room, the blacksmiths were incomparably stunned and praised again and again.
"Okay, kid, I'll accept you as an apprentice." The man smiled and said, no matter if Lin Manshan really knows how to temper pig iron or not, with this strength, he is also an excellent seedling. He should be able to get started with a little teaching. Work, if he can train a soul master blacksmith, he will have a light on his face in the future, and maybe it will bring better business to the store.
It's not a losing deal at all.
"Introduce myself, my name is Tie Shan, and next to me is my younger brother Tie Zhu." The man led Lin Manshan into the forging room with a smile, introduced the blacksmiths one by one, and then removed the forging table from the fixed wooden pier together. After adjusting the height again, he picked up a piece of red-hot pig iron from the stove and put it on it, "Aman, come and try to temper this piece of pig iron, let me see how your foundation is?"
"Sword Comes"
After speaking, he took the blacksmiths to the side.
"Okay." Lin Manshan nodded, put the hammer aside, and quickly took off his school uniform, revealing his short sleeves and fair arms. Compared with the blacksmiths present, his arms were obviously much smaller. But from the slightly bulging muscles above, you can still see the traces of long-term exercise. Picking up the hammer again, Lin Manshan looked at the iron block and lifted the hammer slowly.
The next second, slammed down.
"Clang clang clang..." Violent and rhythmic collisions sounded one after another.
"This is!?" The two brothers Tie Shan and the blacksmiths looked more and more focused, and there was a certain illusion in their eyes, feeling that what Lin Manshan was waving was not a hammer at all, but a big knife, a knife Another slash, like a big wave set off in a gust of wind, one wave higher than another, the stronger and heavier the force is, with an indomitable momentum, every knife is extremely decisive.
"How powerful is this kid?" Although the onlookers didn't know how to forge, they could see from the eyes of the blacksmiths that Lin Manshan's level was not simple.
After a while, Lin Manshan stopped and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The iron block on the casting table has cooled a lot at this time, and the whole has shrunk by a large circle.
"Aman, your hand, are you okay?" Tie Shan stepped forward, looked down at the iron block, opened his mouth, and quickly raised his head again, staring at Lin Manshan's red right arm as if he were looking at a monster. The domineering and fast-paced tempering technique undoubtedly requires extremely high arm strength, and even he does not dare to strike like this, but Lin Manshan not only dares to strike, but also seems to have nothing to do.
"Uncle Tieshan, I'm fine, it's just a little hot." Lin Manshan smiled.
Hearing this, Tieshan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and immediately sighed, "Aman, the blacksmith who taught you the tempering technique must be a master forging. To be honest, I feel that only the legendary chaotic cloak hammering method can be compared with it. already."
He can be sure that this is not the chaotic cloak hammering method, because the chaotic cloak hammering method emphasizes the use of force, while Lin Manshan's method is more stubborn and domineering. , in the cut, a force to the end. Finally, a part of the recoil force is removed by inertia, so as to reach the point and stop.
The retraction action with less recoil protects the arm while achieving consistent hammering.
Such a subtle technique, in his opinion, must be the blacksmith who felt that Lin Manshan's natural divine power was a good seedling to be a blacksmith, and he was willing to let him keep watching after he had the mind to teach it. After all, if he just watched it a few times, the level of tempering can reach this level, he absolutely does not believe it. It's a pity, I can't see how to exert force... Tieshan secretly sighed.
He also knew that the other party must have been instructed not to spread such a forging technique.
As a person with professional ethics, it is not easy for him to take the initiative. Even if he wants to find it, he has to find the master blacksmith.
Hey, at my age, this aptitude, the other party definitely doesn't like it.
"However, although Aman's power-generating skills are excellent, his knowledge of forging materials and his experience in swinging the hammer are obviously insufficient. He made a lot of mistakes in the hammer and wasted his energy. That master only taught Aman. The most basic tempering skills of blacksmiths should be laying the foundation for Aman, and now Aman has enough basic skills, and the subsequent forging process of finished products has not been taught."
"If I teach Aman what I know, wouldn't I be considered a half-master, and Aman will be famous in the world in the future. What's more, I will be able to play it for the rest of my life."
"In particular, Aman is also a soul master!"
"One day I will go to the Blacksmiths Association of Gengxin City to participate in the blacksmith conference. My face is bright."
Thinking of this, Tieshan smiled even more.
"Ah? I just play according to what I know, others don't understand..." Lin Manshan said cautiously.
"It's alright, the other master should take the initiative to tell you in the future." Tie Shan smiled, then looked solemn, "Aman, although your tempering technique is exquisite, your forging experience is lacking, especially in the In terms of cognition of forging materials, in addition, there is also the judgment of the lower force point when swinging the hammer. These all need to be accumulated slowly in the process of practice.”
"You can learn from me and my uncles in this shop in the future. If you don't understand, you are welcome, just ask. Besides, how about your salary, like other uncles, how about one silver soul coin per month? Business is good, plus commission."
"Thank you, Uncle Tieshan." Lin Manshan nodded again and again, "However, Uncle Tieshan, the college will have the opening ceremony tomorrow, so I may not be able to come until the day after tomorrow."
"Aman, so you're a freshman. Then you're only six years old..." Tie Shan was surprised, sighing that Lin Manshan was hardworking and willing to endure hardships, and at the same time he was even more convinced that Lin Manshan was a good blacksmith, and he had to be taught well. !
Nodding slightly with a smile, "It's fine, I'll come back when your college affairs are settled."
"Well, Uncle Tieshan, then I'll go back to the academy first."
Saying goodbye to everyone, Lin Manshan put on his school uniform and walked out of the blacksmith shop, heading straight for the college.
I bought the quilt halfway, and ran back to the dormitory with it on my back.
Chapter 16 Yu Xiaogang's White-eyed Wolf Cultivation
When I entered the dormitory, it was empty, and the others had not returned.
"School hasn't officially started yet, so I should go out to play after lunch." Lin Manshan found an empty bed not far from Tang San's bed and put a quilt on it. Thinking to himself, Tang San should have been taken away by Yu Xiaogang. As for Xiao Wu, the master who can't rest, the first day he came to the academy, when he was curious about the unfamiliar environment, maybe he was letting Wang Sheng a few Take it to the school.
Just to see what Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were talking about... Thinking of this, Lin Manshan immediately lay on the bed, pretending to sleep with his eyes closed.
He had already given instructions to the spider, as long as he saw Yu Xiaogang, he would follow him into the room.
Pushing the animal control technique to establish a link, although the eyes are closed, the picture is immediately transmitted to the mind, including the memory of the previous conversation.
After Yu Xiaogang made a series of suggestions on the development direction of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit, Tang San completely trusted Yu Xiaogang and had already told Yu Xiaogang that he was a twin Martial Spirit. Excited and a little scared at the same time.
"Little San, it's fortunate that you hid the second martial spirit when the martial soul awakened, and was not seen by the people in the martial arts hall. That child named Aman doesn't believe that you have twin martial arts at all, otherwise you are the second martial arts. The soul may have been exposed, and I was careless for the teacher before."
"It's alright, teacher." Tang San shook his head with a smile, "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, Aman's previous messy analysis has also found a reason for the disciple to conceal the existence of the twin spirits. From a certain point of view, I still I have to thank him."
"That kid is really smart, but unfortunately his talent is too poor." Yu Xiaogang shook his head and said sternly.
Tang San nodded, "No one in Aman's ancestors has ever awakened his spirit power. When it was his generation's turn, his parents died early. And he was born stupid. After being adopted by our village chief, he had been He lived in ignorance until he broke his head when he was four years old, and then he suddenly became enlightened. Now that he can awaken a mutant martial spirit with soul power, it is a blessing."
"Aman's current xinxing feels like a young child who just remembered things. It is the stage when he is deeply curious about new things. Before, I thought that his situation should be very good in terms of learning theory, and I asked him why. Why don't you worship you as a teacher with me?"
"However, because of the instructions of the elders, he seems to be more wary of you."
Speaking of which, Tang San shook his head and told Yu Xiaogang the process of questioning Lin Manshan.
After listening to this, Yu Xiaogang, who originally thought that Lin Manshan was still a little pitiful, suddenly became a little unhappy, and Dan Mo said: "The most important thing in researching theory is to have ideas that are free and unconventional. This child has no opinion, even if he is obsessed with theory. Research will also be shaken by other people's words, giving up the original idea, it is difficult to achieve great results."
"Furthermore, with his talent in martial arts, I am afraid that the realm of the soul king is already at its limit. Instead of wasting time on researching theories, it is better to cultivate soul power while young, so as not to delay cultivation. can't be reached."
"That's right." Tang San nodded, this is the same as learning martial arts in his previous life. Youth is the most critical period of cultivation. Otherwise, with age, the body's functions will gradually degenerate and the meridians will be blocked. It's hard.
Seeing Tang San listened in, Yu Xiaogang said again: "Little San, then Aman's innate soul power is only level three, so his life is limited. But you are different, with your aptitude, it is entirely possible to cultivate into a titled realm. The gap between the two of you is just like Fanchen and Haoyue, which is unattainable. For the good of Aman, I advise you to stay with him less in the future, so as not to put pressure on him and affect his cultivation."
"Well, disciple understands." Tang San also felt reasonable, from Yu Xiaogang's mouth, he already understood the relationship between martial spirit and innate spirit power. Just like the inner door and outer door of the Tang Sect in the previous life, there is a difference in honor and inferiority.
What kind of person enters what kind of circle, Aman's talent and aptitude are far behind him, and he will not be a person of the world in the future. Standing at different heights, there is a huge gap in vision, and we can't even talk about one thing. How can we become friends, and reluctance to do so will only add to each other's troubles.
This Yu Xiaogang is really narrow-minded... Lin Manshan was speechless, after secretly saying that after this incident, Yu Xiaogang must be very upset with him, and it is estimated that he would like to drive him out of the academy directly, the first spirit ring wants to ask Yu Xiaogang to lend a hand Don't even think about it.
Looking at Tang San, "I'm afraid Tang San's sense of superiority was established at this time. Because he knew that he had twin martial spirits and innate full spirit power, and his talent was excellent, he began to look down on spirit masters inferior to him. "
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang continued: "Little San, tomorrow is the opening ceremony, and the day after tomorrow, the college will officially start classes. However, attending the opening ceremony is a waste of time for you. The most important thing now is to do it as soon as possible. Obtain the spirit ring so that your martial spirit can continue to cultivate. Therefore, I decided to take you to the Soul Hunting Forest tomorrow to obtain the first spirit ring."
"As for the academy, you don't have to worry, I'll help you go to the Academic Affairs Office to ask for a leave of absence." Speaking of this, he smiled, "After obtaining the first spirit ring, go to the Spirit Hall for certification. You can officially become a soul master. At that time, you will also be able to receive a monthly subsidy for soul masters from the Spirit Hall, and with this money, you will no longer need to continue working as a student.”
The Soul Master subsidy that Old Jack said? Tang San's heart moved, the Spirit Palace would give out Spirit Master subsidies to spirit masters every month, this was not the first time he had heard of it, but he didn't know exactly how and how much.
Raising his head, he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what is a soul master subsidy?"
"Soul Master Subsidy, to put it simply, means that the Spirit Hall distributes money to the Soul Master every month, mainly for the commoner Soul Masters who are short of money, to help them improve their lives and get through the initial stage. The standard of payment is that the Soul Master is paid every month. 1 gold soul coin, 10 great soul masters, and 100 soul masters. And when they reach the soul sect, the subsidy will stop, and the soul master must start to be self-sufficient." Yu Xiaogang introduced.
"So, Wuhun Temple is not bad." Tang San was surprised, 1 gold soul coin is enough for an ordinary family of three to eat for several months, 10 or 100 gold soul coins can still be received every month , How much money does Wuhundian pay each year?
Yawen Library
"It's just a means to win over people's hearts." Yu Xiaogang sneered, "and this money was allocated by the two great empires and distributed by the Spirit Palace. Little San, think about how many years your village has not awakened. Soul power children. There are not many soul masters on the mainland, and most of them have inheritance. It can be said that there are very few martial souls with soul power that can be awakened by civilian families, and the distribution is extremely uneven. It takes a lot of money, manpower and material resources to get everything down.”
"Therefore, the two major empires in the early days were very happy to hand over this kind of thing to the Spirit Hall. When these spirit masters grow up, it's enough to draw them together."
"However, judging from the final result, Wuhun Hall will undoubtedly gain a lot from this invisible wooing battle. After all, it is the money that is sent from them, and the wooing effect is the best. It is precisely because of this that the two empires have been fighting for a long time. Because of the huge threat, since the last Pope of Spirit Hall took office, he has gradually reduced this allocation for various reasons."
"And 30 years ago, this allocation was cut to 50%. As for now, it is unknown."
"It's been cut so much!" Tang San was slightly stunned, "Then why does the Spirit Hall continue to post?"
"This is the foundation of their growth in the first place. Naturally, they can't stop at will. Otherwise, it will be like living water has lost its source and will eventually decline." As if thinking of something, Yu Xiaogang's face flashed a trace of complexity, "Because of funding issues, this This incident originally brought a lot of trouble to the Spirit Hall, but since this Pope took office, the Spirit Hall has begun to use the capital accumulated before to vigorously develop industries across the mainland, and the nature of the Spirit Hall has also changed from that. It started to change a lot.”
"What's the change?" Tang San, who heard the rise, hurriedly asked.
"Little San, you are still young, and you don't need to know about it." Yu Xiaogang turned around and said solemnly, "Teacher tells you this to remind you that no pie will fall from the sky, except for your relatives. With the rare close friends, no one will treat you well for no reason."
"You don't have to be biased in the face of the favor of various forces in the future. After all, they are only doing this for their own interests. This is the same for the subsidies issued by the Spirit Hall. You need What I do is to make good use of them and let myself grow up as soon as possible, which is the real thing.”
"Yes, teacher." Tang San nodded solemnly, knowing the existence of Titled Douluo, he also knew that this is a world where strength is respected, and the secular constraints like the previous life are no longer useful here. Top priority.
"A record of the development of a white-eyed wolf?" Lin Manshan groaned inwardly.
He suddenly felt that the reason why Tang San was so selfish and double-standard should not have been inseparable from Yu Xiaogang's many years of teaching by words and deeds. After all, Tang San was a dead mansion in his previous life, even if he had been brainwashed by the Tang Sect, it should be limited to being loyal to the sect, orderly and respectful. If you can sneak attack, don't be aggressive, kill decisively and don't be soft-hearted, even if your nature is marked , and the double standard is not too exaggerated.
Feelings are to go to a teacher and then to further study. The blue is better than the blue.
"Yeah." Yu Xiaogang picked up the kettle from the table and poured a glass of water to drink, "Little San, that's it for today. You go back first, I'll go to your dormitory tomorrow morning to find you."
"Okay, goodbye teacher." Tang San stood up from his seat, bowed, and turned to leave.
PS: Today is a special day, please post more.
Chapter 17 The door is blocked
After disconnecting the link, Lin Manshan jumped out of bed and walked towards the bathroom. I was sweating from ironing in the afternoon. I was busy watching the live broadcast just now, and I haven't had time to wash it yet.
The water is rushing...
Not long after, Lin Manshan opened the bathroom door and walked out. His eyes met, it was Tang San who was just going downstairs to the dormitory.
"Good afternoon." He smiled nonchalantly.
Tang San nodded slightly with a sullen face, maintaining a high-cold attitude, went straight to the bed to lie down, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The change is really fast... Lin Manshan's eyes flickered, and he also went to his bed and lay down.
After rushing for a long time in the morning, shopping and striking iron in the afternoon, he was indeed a little sleepy after tossing and turning.
After about two quarters of an hour, the devoted biological clock mercilessly pried open Lin Manshan's eyes, and it was time for dinner.
Turning his head to glance, Tang San had already fallen asleep, the rest of the dormitory hadn't returned yet, the light outside the window was dim and it was almost evening.
After adjusting the bed a little, Lin Manshan walked straight out of the dormitory. When I came to the cafeteria, I walked up to the second floor without hesitation.
He wants to eat meat.
"Hey, Boss Xiao, that kid seems to be a working student who lives in Qishe with Wang Sheng." In the corner of the window on the right side of the second floor, a slightly obscene-looking eleven or twelve-year-old child leaned slightly forward and leaned forward. On the table, his squinting eyes moved with Lin Manshan's figure, "I saw this kid this morning. He was brought into the school by Yu Xiaogang along with the thin new-faced kid next to Wang Sheng."
Hearing this, the kid who was sitting across from the long table and called Boss Xiao raised his brows, turned his head to look at it, and in the next second, yin and yang shouted loudly, "Yo, this is not the one who lives in Qishe with Wang Sheng and the others. Poor guy?"
"Boy, go to the second floor, can you pay?"
